Stella arrived at Valencia's apartment, with a goodie bag in tow and a smile on her face.
It wasn't the easiest to get here, and the short time frame that her accursed rival had given her before she'd move 'back home' made it all the much harder.
The doorbell rang, but she knocked the door just in case too.
Footsteps, then an open door to a still sleepy looking pie hiker in her pajamas. Stella stared starstruck at how despite the time, Valencia was in the most adorable pie-jamas, complete with a silly sleeping cap
"H-hello my most hated rival..." The words were nervous and quiet from Stella, the jarring difference of outfits between the winner and the loser leaving her unable to vocalise.
"Speak up, please." Valencia rubbed her eyes.
"MY RIVAL WHO I'LL BEAT ONE DAY!!" Her voice sent shockwaves across the loose fitting pajamas, then she quickly hid her face in embarrassment from how loud she was.
"cute," Val muttered under her breath, "You can come in now." She moved to the side of the door to let the annoying rival in.
After they both sat at the table, Stella placed a bag of goods square in the middle to obscure the pie hikers face. "If we're rivals we both need to contribute to eachother right? Can't fight you if you're exhausted!" A small chuckle was heard from behind the bag.
"Ah, speaking of, I need your help with something." A calm voice came across, "Mind if you come over here? There will be no pranks."
Stella got up, drawn to the voice and moved around the table. Across was Valencia with her pajama sleeve pulled up, with arm muscles that could Definitely kill.
"Yo-Did you just want to show your huge muscles??? Tricks that wouldn't work on me?!" Valencia just silently handed The blushing disgrace a needle with fluid inside.
"It'd be nice for a change of look instead of just myself." Stella took the needle and winced a bit from looking at it. "I have something for you after, it was just convenient to get you here."
A nerve wracking performance from Stella later, Valencia smiled at her. "It's just estrogen, do you need a bit of calming?" She patted her lap for Stella to sit on.
"N-not yet where's the, um, gift you were talking about?" Stella reluctantly waited before getting on the hot seat.
"Alright," Valencia pulled out a wrapped present from behind her back, a more sinister smile on her face as she gave it to Stella. Stella promptly unwrapped it to an English Dictionary, the air in the room changed as she swiftly pulled on Nashatra's ear, which was responded to with a joyful laugh.
"Ah but there is a proper gift for you," Stella stopped and her eyes sparkled from behind the snake eyes, as another gift was produced from behind Val.
Inside was a matching pair of Piejamas and a letter to be looked at later. "Matching clothes for your rivalry," Val smiled. "Now, care to take a seat then?"
Stella's face was hidden, but she simply sat on Val's lap, as her hair was then promptly softly played with. "Don't expect this every time... I just liked the gift is all," The meek voice said. Her tone wasn't telling of her true feelings and arms wrapped around her for a hug from behind.
"Rivals should care for eachother, as you said, if one side is weaker then it's not fun." The repeating of the words she spoke was a bit mocking, but she accepted the hug in defeat. "Besides, thank you for earlier, you're comfortable to hold."
Stella felt feverish, heat rising rapidly, and she stammered out a response. "Ah-Ah! Who would've thought the p-pie witch would fall fo-for my faca-" A swift bonk was delivered to the hopeless rival. "Owww..."
"Ah, sorry, sorry," pats were given to the head of Stella, and she leaned into it alike a bunny.
The pats and hugging stopped after a while as Stella wanted to show what was in the bag, cakes and some gardening related items. "Gotta make sure my rivals healthy in mind and body!" Her voice bounced back to her standard energetic, and Valencia took the gifts and smiled.
"Wish to share a cake now?"
"Sure!" They shared a slice of carrot cake together, Stella didn't really like it but spending time with her rival was nice, plus the expression on her face was pure bliss. "Oh it's, getting late I should get going..." Stella looked like a sad cat saying that, but it was getting dark out and she didn't plan for an overnight
"If you wish a spot is open to sleep in for the night, just be comfortable." Stella thought, then decided as a responsible adult she should sleepover with Valencia for a night, sharing a bed might give her intel on her weakness.
"Well, I can't refuse having someone else for a night!" She was trying to stifle the excitement, "Just give me a bit to change."
A changing later, they were both in piejamas of their favorite pies, Valencia in a sort of floral looking pie and Stella in her trademarked pie. The bed was open for two to sleep in, Val was already half asleep.
Stella went into the bed to the side of Val, being met with arms around her shortly after and a soft voice, "Good night, Stella."
"Sweet dreams, beloved rival."
