Bash at the Beach

[CaptainL]

So far, it had been a good enough start to the game. Molly was sure that her opening shot, slamming the ball down toward the opposing team from on high, would start things off strong, but Laura was able to catch it, batting it over to Jean. As her feet settled in the sand, Molly held a hand up to her brow, shielding her eyes from the sun as she analyzed the situation on the court before her. The two sisters were keeping the momentum going, and her eyes followed the path of the ball from one to the other as she sank down into a stance, ready to run forward to catch it should she need to. But as the ball came closer once again, it looked as though it was on a path to graze the net. Molly's head tilted to the side briefly in thought - would they be able to get it over in time? But it was Laura who gave it the extra push, hoisting it just high enough to send it rolling down the other side!

"Moni! Down there, look out-!" Molly tried to shout a warning to her partner to be ready to intercept the ball as it tumbled downward. She took off running, diving into the sand to try and bat it out of the way - but it was too late. The ball landed on the ground, and Molly ground to a halt just beside it, sending up a cloud of sand around her in the process.

"Whew..." she muttered to herself, getting back up and dusting herself off. "That was close! Almost got me there. Alright, we ready for round two?" She tossed the ball in the air a couple of times, getting warmed up, before she spiked it into the air and battled it toward the Miller sisters on its way down. Despite feeling the tension between Barbara and Harmonia earlier, that was far from Molly's thoughts now. She let herself get lost in the thrill of a good game - but then again, she didn't have the same history with the Sparkling Idol that her girlfriend did.

[pu-level-up]

"Yes!" Barbara cheered after her tricky little tip fooled Harmonia and got them their first point. She turned to the opposing blonde and stuck out her tongue as a taunt, then turned and gave her sister a high five as she moved to the back of the court again. Seeing that her sister was playing fair, for the most part, Jean felt a little relieved. She went back up close to the net and settled into her receiving stance, getting ready for Molly's next serve.

"Hey, Harmonia," Jean said, "I just want to make sure there's no hard feelings on your end. Laura can be a bit touchy, but she's not a bad person." She gave Harmonia a reassuring smile from across the net.

Molly's serve came in low and fast again, forcing Barbara to dive to receive it. She managed to bounce it up high over their side of the court, giving Jean plenty of time to get in position and set it up again. The blonde idol quickly went up to the net to receive the set. Again, she figured that Harmonia would come in close to try and block, so she did the same move as before, tipping the ball gently out of the way of Harmonia's hands, trying to sneak in another point.

[RedShinigami]

The Edelstein Twins had some temper, that much was for sure, but both girls were able to surpress it if not triggered. People like Jem, Alexa and now Lauren triggered her. Especially as Lauren had started the little "war" between them by cheating in their match and Harmonia decided that a punishment was due. And Harmonia had been nice. Using Barbara as chair was definetly more painfree then beating her up afterwards.

But a true Superstar would'nt sink to such lows. Harmonia had showesld the idol not to mess with her and that was that. Or so she thought. Her twinsister the notorious Hellraiser Finella Edelstein inadvertently had started her own feud with the famous idol and the Wolf had no such restraints like Harmonia, punishing and humiliating the idol like a sextoy for her fun. Barbara even had to call her mistress.

And the worst thing was that they used Harmonias flat for their exploits, destroying priceless interior in the process. Harmonia had'nt blamed Barbara as she knew that Finella urged the model to come into HER penthouse. She and Finella still were on bad terms and so it was clear for Harmonia that the whole thing was her sisters revenge on her.

So far, so good. But what Harmonia really hated were bitches who did'nt knew when to stop. Like this one here. Since they met on this tropical paradise, Barbara was riding her back, behaving like a little girl, trying to get to Harmonia. Did she want a fight?

Harmonia did'nt brag about it but since she came out as Superstar she gained some muscle on her body, still having her modelforms it was clear to see that Harmonia Edelstein was not the same person she was over a year ago. In strength and skill she would bury Barbara. Was she so selfassured because her sister was with her?

Jean seemed friendly and honest enough, still Harmonia was a bit pissed at the childish antics of the idol. "There are no bad feelings from my side, but maybe you could tell your sister that she finally should grow up. Her behaviour brought her into trouble more then once.", Harmonia said and sighed. "Sorry, thank you Jean I-woah!",she screamed as she saw the ball flying ready to get it this time, but again the idea just tipped it over the net, making Harmonia struggle but get it and shoved it back to Molly.

She turned around to her girlfriend. "Molly, here!", she shouted and if her athletic counterpart would react she would do the same thing like Barbara but instead of tipping it she shoved it upwards and slammed it down right into Barbaras chest, making her breasts jiggle!
"Hah!", Harmonia screamed and gave Molly a highfive.

[CaptainL]

Every once in a while, Molly glanced back at Harmonia, checking in on how her girlfriend was doing. She knew that she and Laura had history, but she wasn't privy on the details - and she wasn't particularly in the mood to pry into them either, considering how it was clearly a sore spot for her. Still, she couldn't help but be a little concerned as to what might be on her mind. She was here to have fun, after all, and she didn't need anything casting a shadow over their game. The opposing team seemed to be cooperative enough that she didn't feel like there was anything for her to worry about - but Harmonia still wasn't afraid to stir the pot, and as she called Laura out, Molly bit her lip with growing anxiety. "W-Whoah, now, Moni...we're all here to have fun, right-?"

Of course, when the action was moving this quickly, Molly knew she couldn't take her eyes off the ball for too long! Soon enough, it came back over the net, thanks to Laura trying the same trick from earlier. The Englishwoman was about to shout out another warning to her teammate, but luckily, Harmonia was already on it, catching the ball and throwing it back in her direction. Molly quickly fell into position, getting ready to deflect it back to Harmonia as she called out to her. "Right-! Coming your way!" she shouted - only for Harmonia to shove the ball into Laura's chest!

Harmonia might have slapped her on the hand, but Molly's attention was directed ahead of her, as she watched the impact with wide eyes. She gasped, holding her other hand to her mouth, and soon after Harmonia had high-fived her she ran over to the net to make sure that Lauren was okay. "I'm so sorry-! I'm, uh, sure it was an accident! Are you all right-?"

[pu-level-up]

Barbara figured her tip wouldn't be as effective this time, though seeing Harmonia be able to catch it and send it over to Molly did irritate the idol a little bit. She quickly got back into position, getting ready to receive the return hit. With the way Harmonia was looking at her, she knew it was coming her way, and she made sure she was ready for it.

But Harmonia's hit was stronger and quicker than she had expected. The ball shot down at her, Barbara's blue eyes widening as she tried to back up to receive the hit. She wasn't fast enough, hitting the ball with her chest instead of her arms. The blow made her gasp out in pain, nearly knocking her onto her ass as she stumbled back after the hit. But she kept the ball in the air, giving Jean enough room to volley it right back over the net.

Barbara rubbed her chest a little as she glared at Harmonia. The smarmy look on her face told her that had been intentional. "Ohhh I'm going to get you for that," Barbara said as she moved in close to the net. She would wait until Harmonia was jumping up to try and knock the ball over again, jumping herself as if she was trying to block the ball from coming over. As she came down though, she would give the taller blonde a little shove through the net, just enough to make sure she lost her balance and fell on her ass when she landed!

[RedShinigami]

Harmonia was'nt really "happy" about what happened but she could'nt surpress a smirk either. Lauren had it coming after all. If she really wanted to start a fight with other Edelstein sister too she could have it but for now at least it seemed that both sides where cortious enough to look over these minor "accident" and the game could resume. Maybe this would teach her a lesson not to mess with Harmonia or god forbid Molly.

The Austrian moved her haid, shaking her braid behind her and gave Molly another high five. "We got this, darling!", she smiled and when she heard Lauren cough and sputter she just could'nt help but shake her head. She had it coming after all. What she heard then seemed like an open invitation for war. "Oh, yes?", the Blonde asked as she was ready to resume the match, meething the smaller girl at the net, both women looking at each other, shooting daggers into each others eyes.

Then the ball came and Moni was ready to make a streak out of their last point as she jumped in the air, trying to slap the ball into the sand of their opponents side. But Lauren was'nt sleeping as she had leaped into the air too ,slapping against the ball and getting it onto the other side. "Molly!", Harmonia shouted and saw her girlfriend approaching behind her. Everything was fine until Lauren shoved her, making Harmonia trip and fall down, right onto Molly who had jumped forward to get the ball that was sailing high in the air and when the two blondes landed in a heap in the sand, it came down and dropped right next to them.

"Ugh...ouch...Molly, you ok?", Harmonia asked as she rolled from her girlfriend. Harmonia had gotten a little heavier since her early days and 71 kilos of muscle that dropped down on someone could be quite heavy all things considered. She took Mollys hand, trying to help her up. When this was done she stomped over to Lauren who seemed to really have fun with this scenario and went under the net, facing the idol eye to eye.
"You little bitch did that on purpose.", she hissed and shoved Lauren. "Not so nice when someone does it to you princess huh?", she said and shoved her harder, making Lauren land on her butt. "Seems my sister was right about you.", Harmonia just said and spat into the sand. "Let's go Molly, I don't want to play with filthy cheaters.", Harmonia said and turned her back on the idol.

[CaptainL]

Much as she knew that things were less than amicable between Harmonia and Barbara, for Molly, things weren't so personal. The rivalry between the two women didn't run as deeply as her, and she just wanted to be able to have some fun and enjoy the sunny weather. When Harmonia's shot flew straight into Lauren's chest, it caused her to freeze with the fear that whatever tenuous peace might have existed between them was going to be shattered. Though Barbara got back up, and the game resumed, Molly's thoughts began to drift elsewhere. Even as she watched the other three girls trade shots, she watched each movement and each glance out of the corner of her eye, biting her lip nervously. At any moment, Molly was all too aware, everything could come crashing down - and when Barbara shot back a threat in Harmonia's direction, she couldn't help but gulp, afraid that it wouldn't be long before someone would take it too far.

The game was still going, of course, and she couldn't get too side-tracked, lest her thoughts cost her team the point. When Molly heard Harmonia call to her to get into position, she shook herself back into reality, moving in behind her girlfriend and raising her arms to be ready to intercept the ball. "R-Right-!" she called out. But Molly had already let down her guard - and she would soon pay the price. She wasn't watching what Harmonia and Laura were up to. And just as Molly jumped for the ball, Harmonia took a shove from Laura straight-on, tipping her backward and straight into her teammate!

As the two crashed into one another, Molly let out a yelp, swept off her feet by the force of Harmonia's weight. She landed in the sand beneath with a thud, and against the force of the two girls landing, a cloud was kicked up from the beach. Molly was still dizzied from the landing as Harmonia pulled her to her feet; she leaned over, her knees knocking together as she rubbed at her temples. When the world seemed like it had stopped spinning for long enough, she caught her breath enough to respond. "Y-Yeah...yeah, I'll be okay-"

But when she looked up a moment later, her eyes went wide. Harmonia had gotten into Laura's face, and a moment later, to the sound of a gasp from the Englishwoman, she shoved her down into the sand! If Molly had hoped things could go off without trouble, those hopes had been thoroughly crushed now. Her heart could only sink lower as she listened to Harmonia's harsh words. As the Austrian walked away, Molly ducked under the net, facing Laura. "I, uh, I really am sorry for that-! R-Really..!" she stammered. She might not have been amused by Laura's conduct, but the last thing she wanted was for things to get worse...

[pu-level-up]

Jean could tell the second Laura jumped up that her sister was about to try something dangerous. It was far too late to stop her though, and all she could do was watch as the smaller blonde idol bumped into Harmonia through the net, knocking her off balance and sending her tumbling into the sand. Laura didn't come out unscathed either, though she managed to recover quickly and didn't have as hard a fall. The blonde idol got back up with a grin on her face, evidently pleased that she managed to get back at Harmonia.

But she didn't remain smiling for long. Harmonia was finally riled up enough by Laura's actions to attack, pouncing on the smaller idol and giving her a rough shove into the sand! Jean let out a gasp, running over to her sister to see if she was ok, stopping only when she got close and saw the gleam in Laura's eyes. "Oh no," Jean thought. Her sister was definitely going to escalate things now!

Barbara was a bit stunned after the shove, though she quickly recovered, curling her legs underneath her as a wicked grin widened across her face. "Oh, alright then Harmonia," she said, "Since you decided to attack me so aggressively, I don't suppose you mind getting into a fight!" She looked up at the taller blonde, gauging the distance between them, aiming herself in the right direction. Then she sprang up, charging at Harmonia at top speed!

"Laura no!" Jean gasped, but it was too late. Barbara leapt at Harmonia, using her forward momentum to tackle the tall blonde from behind around her waist, aiming to slam into her hard and take her off her feet! Her goal was to knock Harmonia flat on her face, before quickly making her way up the taller blonde's back, hands reaching in to grab her by her long hair and holding her facedown in the sand!

[RedShinigami]

Harmonia stepped away, ready to hit the next bar with Molly and get a few drinks to cool herself of before the matches started but when she heard her girlfriend apologizing, her heart dropped a little.
"Molly...are you apologizing for me?", she said and turned around, her face a little dissapointed. She knew that Molly just wanted everything to work, no fights, no insults, but still, seeing her girlfriend walk over to the woman who had cheated in their match and had constantly working on Harmonias nerves in the volleyball match made the austrian model a bit sad.

She looked over to Lauren who was still in the sand. "We just wanted to play a nice little game. But you can't leave what happened in a match where you almost poked my eye out!", Harmonia said, angered by Laurens childish and bratty behaviour and by Mollys action. She just wanted a drink now, nothing more. "And then you shoved me. I mean, sorry but fuck you! You coming now, Molly. or what?!",she asked louder and more agressive then she wanted and turned around when she heard the voice of the arrogant idol again. "What now?!", she hissed as she wanted to turn around again only for Lauren to spear her into the sand facefirst. Harmonia landed in the hot sand, her face taking another deep dive into it.

The Superstar now was really pissed and just wanted to lash out, but Lauren managed to take a seat on her back, holding her in place while pushing her face into the sand. "Mfggghaaaah! You littl-mpffff!", she screamed as her eyes started to burn and her head got fuzzy through the airloss, getting pushed into the sand brutally by the spiteful idol who was sitting on her behind, starting a brawl that Harmonia, Molly and Jean had tried to avoid. But Lauren wanted trouble? Well, when Harmonia would get her off of her she definetly would get her some!

[CaptainL]

Everything seemed to be falling apart before Molly's eyes, and a sinking feeling was settling into her stomach. She was just hoping to have some fun, enjoy the weather, and spend some time with her girlfriend; if it might help pave over some tensions between Harmonia and Laura, it was even better. But she saw now that none of that was happening - and her attempt at keeping things under control was only making things worse, as Harmonia accused her of making excuses. With a sigh, she looked down at the sand, shuffling it around with her feet. "W-Well...I mean...I'm sorry, Moni, I just thought it wouldn't have to get this way..." Seeing everything come crashing down around her was one thing, but hearing Harmonia get upset with her was what made things really sting. She nodded her head now, agreeing to drop the matter.

But things were about to get a lot worse. As Molly took a step back, Laura came running after Harmonia, poised to tackle her! The Englishwoman looked up with a gasp, trying to shout a warning to her girlfriend with a cry of "MONI!! LOOK OUT-!" But it was too late. Laura shoved Harmonia to the ground, rubbing her face into the sand!

"Oh god, oh god..." Molly looked nervously between the commotion in front of her, and where Jean, too, looked on in a panic. But Molly realized that she couldn't stand idly by any more. Peace, it seemed, was never an option. All she could do now was stand up for Harmonia when she needed it the most! Taking in a gulp, she ran in to grab at Laura from behind, throwing her arms around her waist to try and haul her off of Harmonia! "Let her go-!!"
