Girls Night Out
This is a story that won me an award in last years Fandom Awards. I thought it would be a great way to start the fics off. Girls Night Out First of all, I want to thank everyone who helped to make this story possible. Most of them are already in the story, but I'm still going to name ya! Queen Lynxana, Lyonnarra, Lady Leanna, Tara, and Jason-Ra. Hope you like it! Linda applied her favorite perfume and smoothed an eyebrow in front of the mirror as Bengali looked on. He wasn't too happy about his wife leaving for the evening, especially without him. And he definetly didn't like the fact that she would be going out with Lynxana. "Do you really think it's a good idea for you to be going to a drinking establishment with Lynxana?" Linda smiled at her husband via the mirror. "They're called bars, dear. And what's wrong with Lynxana?" Bengali crossed his arms in front of him, looking down. "Well, you know about her history. She was a traitor to our people at one time, not to mention a bounty hunter.Besides, she's not at her best when she's got alcohol in her system." Linda sighed, this was not the first time she had to defend her friend.She got up and gave Bengali a quick squeeze. "Look hun, as you said it yourself, it's her history, past tense. She's been a big help to the Thundercats since then, and there are going to be 5 of us to make sure she doesn't act up tonight." She nuzzled his neck, knowing this always softened him up, "Just trust me, ok." Bengali gave in, growling slightly. "Alright, just don't make this a regular thing, ok?" Linda laughed, "I'll try not too." Jason-ra looked at his puma with utter devotion in his eyes, and with just a bit of sadness. He knew that this was supposed to be a 'Ladies Night', but the thought of even one minute without her was heart breaking. Pumyra noticed his sad eyes and asked, "Are you sure you're ok with this, Jason?" Jason-ra smiled at her and kissed her lightly on the forehead, "I'm fine, I'm sure I can get by without you for a few hours." She smiled at him and kissed him passionately. "I promise that I'll be home by 1 am, and not a minute later." He laughed, "Don't worry about it, just have fun. Now get, before they take off without you." Pumyra walked out of their room, blowing a kiss in his direction. Jason-ra smiled until she was out of sight, then sat down and wondered what he should do until she returned. In her chamber, Lynxana was searching high and lo for her favorite earrings when a loud voiced yelled in triumph, "I found it!" Lynxana jumped up and ran to Therja as he held the missing jewelry, but when she reached for it, he held it up higher, laughing. "What do I get in return?" he grinned at her. "Your life! Now give me that!" She jumped as high as she could, but Therja's tremendous height kept the earring just out of reach. Finally she stopped jumping and leveled an icy stare at him. "I'll tell you what you won't get if that earring is not in my hand in five seconds." Therja continued laughing, then realized what she was hinting at. "Damn!" he said as he gave her the ear piece. "You're cruel at times, Lynxie." "Yeah, I know." she said as she put the jewelry in her ear. "Don't wait up." Therja just stared as the lynx left the room, but was surprised when she returned and grabbed him, bringing him down to her level. She kissed him provocatively. "I'll wake you when I get home." she purred in his ear, then left quickly. He just sat down on the bed, stunned and hoped the night would pass quickly. Linda, Pumyra, and Lynxana waited in the foyer for the rest of their party, hoping they didn't take too long. Finally, Leanna, Tara, and Lyonnarra arrived, giving their mates a last peck on the cheek or a promise to return soon. None of the men looked happy about the arrangement, but they knew better than to say anything. Once the ladies had left in the Thunder Tank, the men got together to grumble about their women. Why did they have to go out when they had families or men to take care off? Weren't they enough? Lion-o shook his head with the rest of them, but secretly hoped that Tara would have a good time. Leanna looked around at the other women and wondered why she was here. She hadn't really wanted to go, but Panthro had insisted. "You need to get out and have some fun and not always be so obsessed with work or books. Just try it once, for me." She had agreed, but it had been only to make him happy. "So just where are we going?" she asked the lynx, who was driving. Lynxana laughed as she answered, "We're going to 'Hell on Earth'." "WHAT?!" Linda laughed, "Don't worry, it's not as bad as it sounds." "I hope not." Leanna said to herself. Bull was cleaning out some of the glasses, hoping that business would pick up soon. His bar had had a slump lately and he hoped his latest idea would prove to be fruitful. Just then, he heard the door open and glanced over. When he saw two of his most favorite customers enter with a few friends, he laughed. "Queenie, AZ, what's shakin' ladies?" Lynxana sauntered over as she answered him. "Oh the usual, Tits and Asses." Bull laughed, then got serious for a moment, pointing a finger in the lynx's direction. "Now listen here, girl. I don't want any trouble tonight, so you behave yourself!" Lynxana smiled sweetly at the man. "Oh, c'mon Bull, you know me." "Yeah, I do, and that's why I'm warning you; Play Nice!" The lynx stuck her tongue out at the bartender," Spoil sport." Linda walked up, laughing, "Don't worry Bull, I brought reinforcements this time. I'd like you to meet Tara, Leanna, Pumyra, and Lyonnarra. They're friends of ours." One by one, Bull shook the ladies hands. Tara accepted his greeting easily, but wondered what Linda had meant by "this time". Bull soon lead them to a long table near an extended stage. "Best seat in the house ladies, so what can I get you tonight?" "I'll have my usual, Bull." said Linda. "My regular poison would be great." announced Lynxana. "Ok, that's one Long Island Iced Tea and one Strawberry Daquari. And what can I get the rest of you?" "I'd like to try a wine spritzer, something fruity." said Pumyra, but the other ladies just sat there, looking confused. Lynxana got a gleam in her eye and said, "Let's start them off with a TC Special." "Ok, it'll be a few minutes." As he walked away, Linda called out to him. "Hey Bull, go easy on the 'Special', they're first timers." The bartender winked at her and walked to the bar. "What is a 'TC Special'?" asked Lyonnarra. "You'll see." said Linda, grinning. "I want to know why that man called you Queenie and AZ." said Tara. Lynxana's smile faded. "Oh that. Well, it's a bit complicated. If you remember, I carried a torch for Lion-o for a very long time, then you came along, Tara." The Thundercat queen bristled a bit, not sure if she was going to like this explanation, but let the lynx continue. "After you and Lion-o announced your engagement, I felt miserable and wanted to drown my sorrows, so I found this place. After a few drinks, I told the whole bar about, and they started calling me Queenie, because at one time, I wanted to be the queen." Lynxana saw Tara's eyes darken and quickly said, "I don't want him any more, believe me. I'm so happy with Therja. He may have more rocks in his head than brains, but I love him just the way he is." Pumyra and Lyonnarra snickered and Linda had to hide a smile. "Well, ok, I can understand that," said Tara. "And I'm glad Therja makes you happy." she grabbed the lynx's hand a squeezed gently. "Ok, that explains Lynxana," said Lyonnarra as she turned her gazed toward the human, "but where does the name A.Z. come from?" Linda laughed. "That's an easy one, a few years back, Bengali and I got into this big fight and..." She was cut off when Bull returned with their drinks. "Here you go girls, one Strawberry Daquiri, one Wine Spritzer, one Long Island Iced Tea, and three TC Specials, light on the special." "Ah, thank you Bull, you're a sweet heart." said Lynxana. The bartender smiled "I aim to please. Just call me if there's anything else you need." then walked back to the bar. "He seems like a very nice man." said Leanna as she eyed her drink. It was a red drink with black swirls in a very long glass, and she was afraid to try it. "Yeah, he is, and you'd never know that he was a mutant at one time." Pumyra choked on her spritzer. "What?" she sputtered. Lynxana patted Pumyra on the back, helping her to breath. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to spring that on you. Yeah, Bull used to be a mutant, but hated what he did. " "He looked human." observed Tara. "Plastic surgery and weekly waxing, poor guy." said Linda sympathticly. "He has to do that so that the mutants won't recognize him. Traitors are killed on sight." "Oh my," said Pumyra. "Well, I guess you learn something new every day." "Now, back to the A.Z. here." said Lyonnarra, "You and Bengali had a fight and..." "Oh yeah," grinned Linda as she sipped her drink. " Benny and I had a big fight, so big that I just didn't want to see him for a while. Lynxana decided to take me here to cheer me up. I don't know how we got on the conversation, but Bull asked me what was the one thing I wanted to do, but never got to. I replied that I had always wanted to see the Grand Canyon in Arizona and have lots of babies. The next thing I know, everyone starts calling me AZmomma. After a while, they shortened it to Azmom, and now it's just AZ. " Linda leaned in close so only the six of them could hear. "I think they dropped the 'momma' part because of my problems with having kids." "That's one of the traditions of this place." said Lynxana, "They give you a nickname for what you wanted to do, but never got to do. For example," she turned to Pumyra, "You would be called Doc, because you wanted to be a full doctor, but never got to finish your training." Pumyra giggled, "Doc, I like that." and downed her wine. "I just had a thought," said Tara as she noticed her half empty glass, "If we're all drinking, who's going to drive?" "Don't worry, I already took care of that." answered Linda. "When we're ready to leave, one of the guys will pick us up. I wanted all of us to have a good time, but I abhor drinking and driving." She glared at Lynxana. "Hey, even with a few belts, I can still drive like a pro!" Lyonnarra laughed. "I don't think so. If anything happened to his "Babies", Panthro would have your hide nailed to his garage." Leanna laughed along with the rest. She had finally brought herself to try her TC Special and found that it tasted delicious. She had nearly finished it when she noticed some of the other patrons. At first, nothing seemed out of the ordinary, then she noticed that almost all of those in the bar were women. "It looks like we're not the only ones who decided to have a ladies only evening." she said. "Well, Bull thought a Ladies Night would be a good idea." said Linda, then glanced at Lynxana knowingly. "Hey Bull, could we have another round over here?" The former mutant nodded and Linda blew him a kiss. Within minutes, their empty glasses were replaced with fresh new ones. The Thundercat women continued to chat about their mates, the weather, their mates, the best places to eat, their mates, a good place to get their hair done, and of course, their mates. By the time a third round of drinks came, all of the ladies were feeling good, but they still jumped a bit when the lights dimmed and music blared from the stage. All of the patrons rushed forward in anticipation as Bull stepped up. "Alright ladies, you know what time it is. Hell on Earth is proud to present Tigger, the Heartthrob of Thundera!" All the women screamed as muscular tiger Thundarian danced onto the stage and gyrated to the music, ever so slowly removing his clothes. Tara looked at Lynxana and Linda in horror "A stripper?! You brought us to see a stripper?!" Lynxana laughed, "More than one actually." She then stood up and yelled "Take it off, baby! Let's see what ya got! WooHooo!" Lyonnarra eyed the dancer appreciatively. He kind of reminded her of Tygra, and suddenly, she felt excited. She also stood up and yelled, "I wanna see that stripped ass!" Tara stared at her friend. Normally Lyonnarra was so quiet and demure. She wondered what had gotten into the ladies. Linda noticed Tara's dismay. "Oh. come on Tara, this is just good fun. Besides, it really builds up an appetite for when you get home to the real thing." Linda cocked her eyebrow with a grin. Tara sighed and at that moment, a pair of men's underwear landed in front of her. Gingerly, she picked it up. "Did he just...? Oh My Gods!" She looked up to she an orange and black striped backside exited the stage. Bull took his place. "Let's show our appreciation for Tigger ladies, come on, you can do it." The women screamed in joy. "Alright! That's what I like to hear. Now let's give a warm welcome to Lionel, the Lion Lover!" Tara stared at the newest dancer. If he had longer hair and a bit more muscle, he could be Lion-o's double, and suddenly, Tara decided to join in screaming, feeling strangely aroused. By the end of the night, all of the Thundercat women had screamed themselves hoarse, gotten completely drunk, and had lost a few Thunder dollars to some well deserving gents. "I want to thank all of you for coming out here tonight, but now the show is over. Drive safe, we want to see your smiling faces again." And with that, the night was over. The ladies staggered outside, giggling and were met by Lion-o and Panthro. Lion-o grinned at their conditions and figured the ride home would be interesting. Leanna's eyes lit up when she saw Panthro and ran to him, throwing herself into his arms. "Panthro, I'm so glad to see you, guess what we did! We drank TC Specials and talked and got nicknames and saw naked men!" Panthro laughed, "Well it sounds like you had fun, babe." She grinned up at him, "The fun's not over yet, lets get home, fast." He laughed as everyone got into the Thunder Tank. Soon, they were on their way home. Tara was gazing at her mate with love in her eyes. Lion-o noticed and grinned at her. "Are you ok, love?" he asked her. Tara smiled. "Yeah, I was just thinking how incredibly handsome you are." Lion-o laughed. "You, my dear, are drunk!" She laughed, "Oh, I'm not as think as you drunk I am." then she frowned. "Wait, that come out wrong." Lion-o laughed again. "I understood what you were saying." "Hey, Lion-o, schtop talkin' to your wife and schtep on it!" yelled Pumyra. "We got mates too and we can' wait to shee em!" All the women shouted and yelled their agreements. Panthro grinned at Lion-o "Well, you heard her. "Schtep on it!" Lion-o laughed again. "Do you think any of them will remember this in the morning?" "Probably not, but if tonight ends the way I think it will, maybe we should let them get out more often." Both of the men laughed as the women in back began to sing in drunken hilarity. "Thundercats are on the move, Thundercats are loose!...."
