With a loud yawn and drowsing groans, Badgerclops slowly climbed off the top bunk of their beds and dropped down onto the floor below. Unsurprisingly, he was the only one in the room as his friends had already risen to go meet the day. Opening the blinds to let in the sun Badgerclops walked out into the living room surprised to find no one on the couch or in the kitchen. Wandering outside and following the sound of music he found Mao Mao and Adorabat performing a stretching routine together in the training area. "Wow, you guys are excited this morning." "Yep, it's a great day!" Adorabat said cheerfully as she followed along with her role model's movements, mimicking him perfectly. "I haven't woken up this refreshed in a long time." Mao Mao explained as he continued his movements, flipping and kicking with energy. "It's like months of tension were suddenly relieved in a single night. I can't wait to get out there and punish some crime." "Uh... yeah, I guess." Badgerclops shrugged. "The biggest crime we ever see in town is illegal parking and littering." "Those litter bugs are gonna get squashed." Mao Mao declared, grabbing Badgerclops by the arm and pulling him into the house with him. "Wait, can't we at least have breakfast?" "We'll eat on the way! Let's go, Adorabat!" "Whoo whoo!" Adorabat declared as the trio gripped onto the fireman poles that lead them down into the garage where their jet bike awaited. Badgerclops was a little annoyed at being forced out into town this early but as long as they stopped for food he was willing to let them burn off this energy. Hopping onto the bike they took off into the sky, rocketing towards the village. Much like Badgerclops had predicted, the amount of crime and villainy afoot ranged from zero to none. Not that it stopped his two partners from going about their patrol with gusto. Mao Mao leading the way and nodding to the citizens as he passed. "Smell that air? That's the smell of a new day. A day of peace and tranquility brought to us through vigilante justice." "Wow." Adorabat said with wide eyes, admiring her hero and taking in a deep breath of air herself. "I can smell it! It smells like corn dogs." "Corndogs?" Mao Mao asked. "Corndogs!" Badgerclops said, approaching his friends with five of the fried treats in his hands. "Decided to grab the closest thing I could find. Here you go, Mao." He said handing over the food to the sheriff. Mao Mao feeling his momentum stopped by this but appreciating that they were getting something to eat. "And here you go, little dude." "Thank you!" Adorabat said, taking the corn dog into her wings. The food on a stick was a little oversized for her small body but she managed just fine. Her mouth opening and tongue coming out as she slides the food into her lips. Sucking on the end she made a happy noise before puckering her mouth over the food to taste it further. "It's good!" She said through a mouthful. For some reason this stopped Mao Mao in his tracks. Something about the way she was eating her food gave him pause but he couldn't explain why. Instead just watching intently while she ate the end of her breakfast. His eyes were locked on her until he felt a tap on his shoulder, looking up to see Badgerclops staring at him. "You uh... you gonna eat that?" "Huh?" Mao Mao said, confused and realizing he hadn't even bit into his own corn dog. "Uh... yeah! Yeah I'm good. Thank you for... for breakfast." Turning his back on his deputies Mao Mao was quick to consume his food and get back to patrol. Confused as to what was going on with him in that moment. Was it a memory of something? The sight made him think of something familiar but he couldn't put his finger on it. "Everything okay, dude? You're acting weirder than usual." "I'm fine, everything's fine. I was just uh... clearing my head is all. Making sure I was free of distracting thoughts." "Actually it kinda looked like you were spacing out." Badgerclops corrected but Mao Mao just laughed off his very accurate observation. "While it might have looked like that to the untrained eye I was actually becoming even more attuned with the world around me. Sensing the very ripples in the air itself. Allowing me to detect the slightest of disturbances that could threaten our safety." "Like that monster." Adorabat said cheerfully. "Right, like that..." Mao Mao said, looking up at the shadow that had suddenly been cast over them all to see a giant creature on four legs towering above them. "Monster!" He and his friends scattered as a hoof crushed down where they had been standing, followed by a terrible roar. As the nearby citizens scattered Mao Mao drew his sword to look up at a horse like beast with a large thin horn coming from it's head. "A UniScorn. Been a while since we fought one of those." "Could have been longer!" Badgerclops shouted as he dodged another hoof coming down where he'd been standing, his robotic hand turning into a cannon to fire a laser at its face. The creature roared in pain and turned towards him, stabbing the ground where he'd been and uprooting the stones that had lined the street. "This thing's really mad." "I got it!" Adorabat shouted, taking off into the air and flying around its face. The monster responded quickly by swiping its horn in her direction. "Adorabat, look out!" Mao Mao shouted and thankfully she was as aware of the impending danger as himself. Swiftly dodging the horn she grabbed hold of it with her wing and kept a grip for dear life. "Yeah! I got 'em!" She shouted, holding on with her small wings and spinning on the horn as the monster shook its head. "Can't stop me, I got you now!" She taunted, the UniScorn shake its head with a roar but unable to get rid of her. As if to taunt it further she began doing poses on the horn as she spun around it, giggling all the while. "Check me out, I got 'em right where I want him." She declared, swinging one of her wings out while the other held on and kicking her little leg into the air while she straddled the horn. For some odd reason Mao Mao felt that weird sensation again, watching her swing around the monsters horn breaking his concentration while he watched. He still couldn't figure out what was happening to him but it couldn't have been happening at a worse time as the monster was bucking with its legs and a hoof was coming down directly at him. Nearly making him a flat cat if not for the extending metal arm that pulled him out of danger. "Dude!" Badgerclops shouted, pulling Mao Mao back to reality. "I don't know what's going on with you but we need you to help out." "Right! Right." Mao Mao said, ashamed that he'd dropped his guard so much. "Okay, let's cut him down to size. Fast ball special?" "Got it." Badgerclops said, reeling back and hurling Mao Mao like a baseball at the monster's face. Drawing his sword, there was a flash of gold as the horn Adorabat had been doing her little spinning dance on fell from the creature's face. Letting go of the horn she watched it drop to the street and witnessed the monster stop suddenly when it realized its main weapon had been sliced from its face. Losing all of its confidence the creature turned and ran away from town the same way it had come, fearing for its life without its horn. Landing on the street next to the UniScorn's horn Mao Mao kicked it up off the ground with his boot and caught it in his hand. "Yep, cut off a UniScorn's horn and all its anger just goes with it. You figure that out from experience, not from any fancy book reading." "I feel like we saw that in a heroes magazine somewhere." Badgerclops corrected but Mao Mao wasn't paying it any mind, Adorabat watching her hero with pride as he held their new trophy. With the threat gone the other Sweetiepie villagers came out of hiding to cheer for their heroes, Mao Mao naturally soaking up the praise. Badgerclops didn't mind it himself but was even happier when one of the villagers brought three vanilla ice cream cones for them to eat up as a reward for their work. "Nice, now this is a heroes reward." He said, passing the other two to his friends. "Yummy yummy ice cream, yay!" Adorabat shouted, landing on the ground to hold the ice cream with her wings and lick at the cold treat. Her tongue dragging across the length of the dessert and a little bit of it coating around her lips. "Mmm... it's soooo good. I could eat this all day." She said happily and let it get a little messier around her mouth as she ate it up. By the time Mao Mao realized he was staring at her again, even through the crowd of other villagers he realized that his ice cream wasn't in his own hand anymore. Looking over to see Badgerclops holding onto it. "Yeah you were like... dozing off again so I decided to take this off your hands." He said to Mao Mao. "Are you sure you're okay?" "I'm... I'm fine. Just fine." Mao Mao said, departing the crowd of appreciative villagers quickly. Adorabat flew over to Badgerclops shoulder and watched as the sheriff was leaving a crowd of fans much faster than he'd ever done so before. "What's wrong with Mao Mao?" She asked with concern. "I dunno, I guess he's just having an off day. He should be fine though. Maybe he didn't sleep as good as he thought?" "Hmm... well then, I'm sure by tomorrow he'll be even better!" Adorabat said confidently. "I'll make sure of it." "...wait, what?" Badgerclops asked. "What does that mean?" "Oh, uh... nothing! Let's go on patrol!" She said flying ahead, her friend shrugging and following along not really that worried about it. As the day past Mao Mao didn't seem to have any other issues thankfully and there was little in the way of further disturbances. This lead to an easy night of dinner, television and finally going to bed. All three settling into their bunks for the evening to meet the morning together. All of them except for Adorabat. Patiently she waited to hear the familiar sounds of her friends breathing as the fell asleep, being sure neither of them were awake before making her move. Slipping through the dark she was familiar with the best ways to approach her prey, clinging to the underside of her own bunk as she crawled over Mao Mao to see him asleep beneath her. Wrapped up in his cape again like a snuggly blanket. Gripping onto the wood she hung upside down and used her wings to delicately unwrap the cloth around his body. "Don't worry Mao Mao." She whispered to herself. "I'll make sure your weapon is even stronger for tomorrow... I just have to... oh!" She had to be careful to keep from shouting as his Secret Sword was already revealed to her. No special actions were necessary for her to make it show itself tonight. "Maybe it knew I was coming to polish it?" Adorabat said cheerfully, feeling happy that it was ready for her like this. "I bet after today it knew that Mao Mao needed me. Well I won't let him down." Using her wings to adjust it so it was facing upward Adorabat opened her mouth and lowered herself onto the end of it. Funny enough it didn't taste so weird this time. Maybe she was getting used to it? While this angle allowed her to suck it more easily she couldn't get as much of it as she did on the bed. Letting her tongue out Adorabat ran it around the Secret Sword in a circle, getting all of it wet from her lips to polish it good. She could hear grunting from below her and raised her head to look at Mao Mao. "Careful... on that... horn... Adorabat." He mumbled, Adorabat smiling while his Secret Sword rested against her lips. Pulling her mouth off of him she hugged herself with her wings. "He's dreaming of me!" She whispered to herself happily, thrilled to know that she was in his thoughts. After hearing that there was no way she couldn't make sure that all of his Strongest Weapon was completely polished. Climbing off the bottom of her bunk onto Mao Mao's bed she walked up between his legs and carefully guided it into her mouth. The first time had been challenging but she was getting the hang of it the more she did this. Thankfully the end was sharp which let her suck it more easily. Her head moving up and down while the end of his Secret Sword poked at the inside of her cheeks. Pulling her head back to catch her breath she gulped and prepared herself. "One more go." Opening wide she let his Secret Sword dip all the way into her mouth, nearly the back of her throat. Closing her lips around it she grunted a little taking so much of it inside. Her tongue rubbing against it like the ice cream she'd eaten earlier today Adorabat could feel some tension and closed her eyes, ready for what came next. "Mmmph! Mmm!" She squeaked as the hot fluid filled her mouth, eventually pulling back and feeling some land on her puffed up cheeks. Swallowing the warm load in her mouth she let out a sigh and cleaned her face off. "There we go, all done. Mao Mao will be even stronger than ever now!" She prepared to climb back up into her bunk but felt an urge over take her. Unable to resist, Adorabat sneakily crawled up to the front side of Mao Mao's bunk and kissed the top of his head. As soon as her lips had touched she retreated to her own bunk and sat on her bed, covering her face with her wings. She didn't know what possessed her to suddenly kiss someone like that but... it felt nice. And that feeling carried her off into comforting dreams.
