Monopoly Madness...part 1
Lotor looked over the gameboard. His sister Devana sat across from him
with that annoying smirk on her face. The smirk that said "you'll never
beat me at this, I'll always win". They were playing monopoly, a game
they both loved since childhood. Well, Lotor was obsessed with it. He
had never beaten his sister. When they were little the game always ended
with him calling her a cheater and running in tears for mommy.

****FLASHBACK****

"That's not fair!" an eight year old Lotor scream at his older sister as
she counted the game money.

"Yes it is," Devana looked down at her brother, his face always got
really purple when he got mad, "You have to declare bankrubtcy. All your
deeds are mortgaged, you don't have enough money to pay the rent. Game's
over...I win."

"No!!" Lotor knocked over the table, sending game pieces flying all over
the kitchen.

"Mom!!!" Devana yelled. "Lotor's being a sore loser again."

"Am not!"

"Are too!"

"Can't you two ever play nice?" Tarla Gravas walked into her kitchen,
surveying the mess, "Lotor, you have to learn to control that temper of
yours."

"She never lets me win," Lotor tried to blink back the tears in his
eyes.

"Sweetie," Tarla held her little boy, "It's a game."

"But I never win....never!!" he stomped his foot.

"Well, Devana won't always win you know...you'll have your turn," she
wiped her son's tears with a tissue, "but we have to be good sports
whether we win or lose."

" 'Cause bad sports become mean people like daddy?" Lotor looked up at
his mother.

Tarla stared at her son in silence, unsure of how to answer this
question.

"Mommy I don't wanna go back to Doom...I wanna stay with you."

Tarla held her little boy tightly and cried.

****END FLASHBACK****

"Boardwalk please," Devana handed some game money to Tamy, who had
agreed to be banker.

"Those dice are loaded," Lotor looked his sister in the eye.

"You're using them too." Devana didn't even blink.

Michelle looked over. Nearly everytime Devana visited she and Lotor
played monopoly...which wouldn't be so bad if Devana didn't win all the
time. Lotor was always in a terrible mood after losing to her. And that
meant he went off on his own and no one got his attentions. Not a
situation the Scribes cared for. They had begged Devana not to play
monopoly with him on several occasions but Lotor was always ready with
the gameboard. Heck, lately it was even set up when she arrived so they
could start right away.

"How's the game going?" Gina asked Michelle, half-afraid of the answer.

"They've just started but Devana already has Boardwalk."

Gina shock her head, that was not a good sign.

"We've got to do something about this," Gina sighed.

Michelle nodded her head in agreement.
_________________

I thought we were overdue for a fun story so here it is!! Please
everyone help me write it....my brain can only work so hard on it's own.
The question...will Lotor ever beat his sister at monopoly? Will the
Scribes throw the game out?

Take it away ladies!!!

Devana

Monopoly Madness...part 2
Note: Thsi story has NOTHING to do with "Perchance" but can be considered an
interlude either before or after our story!


The Scribes were surrounding the two siblings as they concentrated on
playing, frowning. It wasn't going well for Lotor as usual, and that meant no
sex AND Lotor in a foul mood for quite awhile.

After three games where Devana trounced Lotor into bankruptcy each time,
Lotor yelled, "SHE CHEATED!"

Tamy said, "Uh - uh..did not. I watched her very closely."

Lotor glared at her. "YOU women side together!" and then he stomped off.

Devana sighed. He was a sweetheart, but Monopoly brought out the beast in him!

Tamy took off her green dealer's visor and said, "All righties, Devena. We
all gotta talk.."

Gina whapped a paddle meaningfully in her hand. "Yeah, NOW!"

"About what?" she said, leaning back in her chair.

"Devana.." Tamy began.

"DO YOU HAFTA WIN EVERY TIME?" Dom yelled.

"DOM!" Samara exclaimed.

But Dom would not be restrained. "WHEN YOU WIN, WE DON'T GET NO SEX! NO SEX!
DO YOU REALIZE HOW BAD THAT IS? Lotor not only doesn't pay attention to us,
but he makes the man-slaves stay away!"

"Eeep!" Devana squeaked. She didn't know it was THAT bad when he lost. "Well
um, when I play online, Sven falls asleep on me.." she said sheepishly.

"Like YOU need the practice! Devana, Lotor is OBSESSED with beating you at
this game!" Tamy said.

"Look I can't help it!" she said.

"You COULD throw the game.." Gina said.

"He'd know it.." Samara muttered.

"Devana, he's gotta win - at least once - maybe in a winner take all game.
Why he'd be so happy and he'd brag..you know how men are!" Michelle said.

"AND we'd get sex 24/7!" Dom said.

"Well, I can't throw the game. It'd be a hollow victory. I mean he has to win
on his own."

"Arggh! No sex for a month, here we come.." Dom groaned.

"There's always Zarkon.." Tamy joked.

"Like I said, no sex for a month, here we come!" Dom repeated.

"Well there's gotta be a way for Lotor to win honestly.." Samara mused.
Okay..SOMEBODY think of a solution! Devana really started a cute story here!
NEXT!

Monopoly Madness...part 3?
(This is Samara's response..I only tweaked it up some..tam):
"Well, I hate to see you guys go through this. For that matter I hate to see
myself go through this! I mean he's a good player really, but I think he gets
too tense and doesn't play as well. Oh I don't know.." Devana sighed.

"Devana, I have an offer to make.." Samara smiled.

"What is it, Sammie-Ma?"

"I though you wanted some extra credit refresher courses? Something about
extra hours and more pay for you? It seems I heard you and Lotor talking
about that at one time or other."
Devana shrugged. "The Alliance is upping the pay for officers who take extra
classes outside of their fields, but since I am a Voltron pilot it's rather
hard for me to take the courses I need. I could take them via the net, but
they're not offered that way. Ugh! It's too far for me to travel back and
forth and too expensive besides. Personally I think it's a cop out by the
upper officers. Sure would be nice though.."

Samara walked over to Devana and leaned in close as she spoke, "Zarcon has
allowed me back into the classroom to teach and I can swing it so you may be
able to take a class from me. "Individualized Directed Study" they call it. I
have lifelong certication in this and I've just passed my updates. I think
that would be nice would it not Devana?"
Devana looked a little skeptical, so Samara explained.
Look, I can waive the fee easily for you and you know you can come back and
forth from here very easily AND see your brother everytime you attend class.
Why we can have class right here in the palace."

"Heh, yeah just make sure Zarkon is not hall monitor.." Dom chuckled.

"Ugh!" Tamy shuddered. "I hate to see HIS hall pass!"

"And WHAT are you proposing I DO for this class?" Devana smiled slightly.

"All you have to do is let Lotor win", Samara peered at Devana through her
bifocals and smiled at Devana.

"PLEEEEEEEAAAASE?" All of the other Scribes begged.

Devana looked at all of them thoughtfully.
NEXT!

Monopoly Madness...part 4
"I'm tempted," Devana said, "but it'll be difficult to just let Lotor
win."

"What's so difficult about it?" Dom demanded. "Sounds pretty easy to
me."

"Ha!!" Devana shock her head, "If you think he's bad when he loses you
should see him when he finds out someone is letting him win. He HATES
it."

"I give up!!" Dom waved her arms in defeat, "it's hopeless."

"Dev," Tamy spoke, "Has anyone ever beaten you at monopoly?"

Devana slowly nodded, "Once."

"Who?"

"It was back at the Academy," Devana said.

"Who was it already!!!" Gina shouted. "I refuse to be abstinant for an
entire month!!"

"Jeff."

"Wait a miute....Jeff as in Captain Jeff of Vehicle Voltron? Cute as
Keith with curly hair?" Michelle asked.

"That would be him." Devana confirmed.

"Well, what are we waiting for?" Dom grinned. "Patch a link through to
Explorer!!"

Mo..... Madness...part 5
"Something has to be done. We cannot live without Lotor for very long," said
Dom.
"Yea, man slaves or not Lotor is king of the hill for some of us around here,
said Samara.
"But I can't just allow myself to lose as you ladies know. Jeff will have to
help out"said Devana.
At that moment the one of the Drule guards walked into the room with the
royal tailors.
By order of His Majesty King Zarcon Madam Tamysan is to be fitted for a new
costume. This has been draw up to the kings instructions. Madam would you
pleas stand so that we may measure you. At this Tamysan snatched the design
from the tailors hands, she gasped and then screamed.
"That dose it Devana you got to get Lotor back in the mood. I am not wearing
this for Zarcon!"
Gina then took the drawing," I can wear this for Jeff ...well for now that
is..." I have some time left to do this..."
"What are you getting at Gina I never seen a time you would not jump at a
chance to wear a costume like this," said Michelle in a questioning tone.
"Ah nothing," Gina sighed.
"Well, I am not wearing this for OLD Fish FACE. And you can measure me but it
will not be for him!, Tam said.

Monopoly Madness...part 6
Captain Jeff of Vehicle Voltron was finally catching a few winks afterpulling two ten hour shifts...until his comlink automatically turned on
and woke him up.

"Jeff...Jeff!! Wake up!!" Devana's voice could be heard loud and clear.

"Noo...must sleep. Go bother Cliff." Jeff mumbled.

"Hey, he's hot!" Dom peered over Devana's shoulder. "Does he have
anything on under those sheets?"

Jeff's eyes popped wide open. No way was he sleeping through this and
not finding out who Devana's friend was.

"Ok, I'm up," his lean muscled form sat up on the edge of the bed, "What
do you want Dev?"

"I need you to come to Doom?"

"Are you nuts!!" Jeff ran a hand through his curly hair which was now as
long as Keith's...and much improved his appearance.

"Please!!!" Gina begged, now in front of the monitor, "There's no living
with Lotor when he loses to her playing Monopoly."

Jeff, now wide awake, took a good look into his monitor at all the women
standing with Devana.

"Dev, are those your brother's Scribes?" he continued staring at them
through the monitor.

"Why yes, they are." Devana smiled.

"Alright, I'll help you out," he grinned, "provided I get introductions
to them."

"It's a deal!" Gina and Dom shouted.

Jeff smiled, Keith was going to have a fit....
____________________________

Jeffy's on his way!!! Looks like the Scribes will have another captain
on their hands.
Devana

Monopoly Madness - Seven!

Jeff was surprised he was able to make it to Doom without any problem. They
were even able to provide clearance codes for him to land. How Devana could
manage that without alerting the king was surprising - or maybe not, since
the Prince was her half-brother. He followed the instructions that Devana had
given him and waited. He didn't have to wait long, for along came a figure in
hood and cloak. The hood and cloak hid their body and their features, but by
the perfume Jeff could sense that it was a woman.

"Captain Jeff, I presume?" she said lowly.

"Uh..yeah..I mean yes!" He smiled.

The woman pulled back her hood to reveal a Drulean face surrounded by a cloud
of white hair. He was stunned. He didn't know there were any Drule women in
this section of the galaxy. Where Explorer and Vehicle came from, there were
Drule women, but they were dark-haired and had red eyes. There weren't many
of this variety any more.

"Well, I'm Tamysan. I'm one of Prince Lotor's Scribes. Follow me and I will
take you in to see Lotor. He must'nt know that Devana asked you to come.."

Shoot, he'd do anything this lady told him to do!

"Umm..there ARE others like you?" Jeff asked as he escorted her inside the
castle. He was remembering the other women he had seen on the vid
transmission.

"Of course, Captain! You'll see.." she smiled. "But of course you have to
teach Lotor your tricks to beat Devana."

"Don't you worry, uh Tamysan, is it? I will, I promise!" he flashed his most
charming smile.

They were within the halls of the castle, heading for the Scribes harem, when
a booming voice said, "Well, well what DO we have here?"

It was Zarkon!

Tamysan turned and smiled.at the old king. "Nothing, sire. Simply escorting a
guest of Prince Lotor's."

"A guest, eh?" Jeff noticed with distaste that Zarkon was eyeing Tamysan up
and down. Were the rumors true then - that the old king had gone to chasing
women at his age?

"Yes, If you don't mind I must take him directly to Lotor."

"We have guards to do that, wench. You have much better things to do.." he
smiled meaningfully.

Tamy made a face, but said sweetly. "I know I do, sire..but don't you agree
anticipation is MUCH better?"

Jeff didn't know what to make of this. This was weird, but then again he HAD
heard stories!

Zarkon actually looked thoughtful and then grinned as he came towards them.
Uncerimoniously, he whacked Tamysan on her rear. She winced.

"You owe me, my dear. Take your "guest" and go to my son.. I'll expect
payment later." Zarkon actually turned around and went the other way.

Tamy thanked heaven that Jeff was wearing a renegade's disguise AND that
Zarkon didn't press himself as he usually did. She took Jeff to the Harem and
he was hard pressed NOT to stare at all the scantily clad ladies.

"These are - you are - Lotor's! Lucky bastard!" Jeff whistled.

"Yes he is." Tamysan smiled. "Of course he prizes us not only for our beauty
but our brains too. Ah, here we are.." she opened the door to a room where
Lotor was surrounded by various Scribes. He was scowling over a Monopoly
board.

"Lotor.." Tamysan said, "You have a guest."

He looked up scowling."I don't need or WANT guests right now, wench!"

"Oh? Not even the ONLY person EVER to beat your sister in Monopoly?"

Lotor jumped up. "WHAT?"

"You don't know how hard we searched to find him. He went to the Academy with
Devana and he was the only one EVER to beat her. He's here to show just HOW
he beat her!"

Lotor started to puff up. "I don't NEED help!"

The Scribes behind Lotor rolled their eyes. Damn his pride!
Then Lotor smirked. "But I would like to know HOW to beat Devana, ah - I
don't recall catching your name."

"My name is Jeff, Prince Lotor. Captain Jeff."

"Well, Captain. Let's get started. I want to know. Believe me, if this works
you'll be well-rewarded!" Lotor almost looked happy.

The Scribes HOPED this would work, because if he DID lose, not only would
they go without sex but the handsome Captain Jeff might find himself with the
roebeasts!
NEXT!!!!

Monopoly Madness...part 8
While Jeff was giving Lotor Monopoly lessons on Doom Devana had returned
to Arus and was relaxing in the private lounge Princess Allura had for
the Voltron pilots in the Castle of Lions.

Keith walked in, bored out of his mind. Allura was attending to her
studies as Nanny demanded and Gina hadn't returned any of his messages
lately.

"I wonder what's up with Gina," his tone indicated he expected Devana to
answer.

"Keith, her life doesn't have to revolve around you. Give it a rest,"
Devana sighed, "I don't even want to think of Planet Doom for the next
few days."

"Lotor made you play monopoly again huh?" Keith smirked.

"As usual," Devana gazed listlessly at the ceiling, "He was a bad loser
when we were kids but it's out of control now."

"So what does he do?" Keith persisted, "Kill the nearest guard?"

"No, the Scribes go into forced celibacy."

Keith's eyes opened wide in surprise, "Well, that explains all the weeks
on end I had no calls from Gina. I think I better go see her."

"Lotor isn't allowing any guests," Lance sounded slightly annoyed,
"Someone's giving him lessons so he can bet Devie at Monopoly."

"Like anyone could beat her." Keith scoffed.

"Well, he's getting the lessons from the only person that ever did."
Lance retorted.

Keith was about to shrug it off when realization dawned.

"Jeff!! Jeff is on Doom!!" he shouted. "That's it. I'm leaving now!!"

Keith raced for his secret space pod (can't be taking Black Lion to Doom
all the time). No way was he going to stay on Arus while the Scribes
socialized with Jeff aka The Explorer....his reputation was very well
known and if there was one thing the Dragon of Arus didn't like it was
competition!

It sounds like Keith wants Jeff back in his own sector....now what? Next!!

Monopoly Madness...part 9
"First of all, don't panic if she gets Boardwalk," Jeff spoke calmly,
"Just concentrate on getting all the places you can. Don't save your
money to get a particular favorite deed. That one deed won't do you any
good by itself."

"I see, it's like conquering worlds,"Lotor smirked. He was going to win.
He just knew it.

"I guess you could say that," Jeff squirmed slightly, remembering he was
on Doom...in Zarkon's stronghold.

"Your reward will be great," Lotor's mood drastically improved. "I'll
get you a private beachhouse on Rice-a."

Jeff's head was spinning...Rice-a!!! The guys would flip!!

"Call my sister....I'd like her to visit," Lotor rubbed his hands
together in anticipation.

Monopoly Madness....part 10!!! (yes! it's finally continuing
Jeff was exahausted. Hours and hours of instructing the Crown Prince of Doom to play Monopoly. He was ready for some sleep.

"Girls," he motioned over several lower harem slaves Lotor left at his disposal. "I need a few of you to guide me to bed. I'm so tired I can't see straight."

Two of the girls giggled as they helped Vehicle Voltron's captain to his room.

"He's as handsome Mistress Gina's Keith," one of them whispered.

Unfortunately for both girls, as soon they got him to the room he sprawled across the bed and fell asleep.

Monopoly Madness....part 11: Uh oh...! : hot

Don't read this if you can't stand to feel some heat.

I crept along the Harem hallways looking for the
kitchen.

The part of the Harem Keith and I were honeymooning in
had just about everything, but it didn't have Tamy's
special recipe whipped cream puffs.

The puffs it *did* have were bland by comparison.
BLEAH.

Keith was timing me. If I didn't come back within five
minutes he was going to come get me in whatever he was
wearing when my time was up.

When I had left him he hadn't been wearing *anything*.

I heard the sleeping breaths of a young male and
carefully walked over to see where they were coming
from.

The sounds were coming from an open bedroom.

Jeff was in there, sprawled on the bed, his handsome
face peaceful and relaxed, his hair all mussed up.

"Awwwwwwwwww," I whispered.

He woke up.

Dang, I'd forgotten that his sense of hearing was as
good as Keith's.

He blinked as he took the sight of me in, then seemed
to back away a little.

"YOU," he breathed.

I curtsied. "Nice to see you too, Jeffrey." I pulled
my robe a little closer to my nightgown-clad body.

He shook his head in negation.

"I'm sorry, Gina, it's just that I didn't expect to
see you. I thought that you and Keith wouldn't
reappear for *ages*."

I shrugged.

"I came for some of Tamy's whipped cream puffs."

He grinned.

"Y'know...I could go for some of those myself."

I snapped my fingers and immediately some Slaves--and
the Lower Slaves hovering around him--prepared his
bath...although the Lower Slaves glared at me before
doing so.

They wouldn't *dare* to start anything with me. During
my "Princess-training" on my home planet I learned
just how to deal with their sort.

But I couldn't stop them from looking at me.
Oh well.

"I'll meet you in the Lounge," I called as he was led
to the steaming, aromatic circular bathtub.

He nodded. "Okay...."

I left before the sight of his naked body...*inspired*
me.

********

Someone had recently transferred some of the puffs
from the freezer to the 'fridge, so they weren't
defrosted enough to be eaten.

Jeff and I chatted about nothing in particular while
we waited, sitting next to each other on one of the
larger couches.

The night breeze, nice and warm with just a hint of
the coming winter, gently blew its way past the
curtains to get into the room through the open
windows.

The Monopoly board rested on a table not far away.
Jeff kept sneaking peeks at it.

"Don't get any ideas, I *stink* at that," I warned
him.

He leaned forward a little and rested a hand over
mine.

My heart skipped a beat. I didn't understand why.
Sure, he's a hottie as it's called, but I wasn't
physically attracted to him enough to jump his bones.

With all the grace and charm of a gentleman he moved
his hand so he could lift mine to lightly kiss it.

"Uh-ohhhhh....." I said shakily.

He grinned. "I've always wanted to do that."

I frowned in what I hoped was a very royal manner.

He cocked his head to one side.

"Come *on* now, I saw the way you looked at me when I
came here."

I shook my head slowly. "You didn't agree to meet me
here so we could discuss who's more attracted to
whom."

He scowled. "You're right. But before you married
Keith, I kinda wanted to experience your expertise on
The Rack."

I raised an eyebrow. "You surprise me, Jeff."

He hadn't released my hand. Now, he used a little
force to draw me closer to him.

"I *need* to be punished. I've had--*thoughts*--about
Devana."

I didn't bat an eyelash. "Yeah, so? It's not as though
she looks like Haggar."

He tore away from me.

"It's not *right*. She and Sven belong to each other
and I have my own beloved back on Earth. I need to be
punished, I *must be* punished!"

"Good GRIEF, man! Get a HOLD of yourself! Once you
teach her how to play, you're outta here, right?"

I got up and walked over to the board.

"All you have to do is teach her how to play."

He shook his head violently even as he walked over to
the other side of the table, facing me.

"I can't do it, I can't do it..."

I grabbed his shoulders.

"LISTEN! You made a promise. *Don't* break it."

That seemed to bring him to his senses.

He nodded.

"You're right. I *did* make a promise...I can do this.
I can. I *can*."

"*That's* the spirit...I think the puffs are eatable
now--"

Ram-O stood admiring Jeff in the doorway.

"Oooooo, what tasty morsel do we have *here*?"

Jeff growled, then went for him, his hands clawed and
upraised.

Ram-O stood his ground and prepared to fight.

They went down to the floor in a THUD.

Rameses popped up out of nowhere and separated them
before they began to fight.

Ram-O pouted. "MEANIE."

Remy irritably waved him away. "Go back to the room."

Pouting, Ram-O left, mumbling something about Jeff
needing to be tenderized with a hammer.

I tried not to laugh but staccato breaths escaped me
anyhow.

Remy bowed to me and Jeff before he too left the room.

"So..." Jeff ran a hand through his hair, "Until the
morning comes..."

I winced.

He grinned. "You want to learn how to play?"

I thought about it.

"Sure...why *not*?"

We sat on opposite ends on the half-circular couch
behind the table.

"GINA!" Keith called. "Are you in here..."

He burst into the room wearing the infamous
little-Christmas-ball-covered red leather briefs.

He'd flicked the hidden switch and they were all aglow
in their little glory.

He stopped short as he saw Jeff, whose jaw had
dropped. He blushed as red as those briefs.

"Oh. Hellooooooo...."

Jeff began to laugh. He couldn't help it.

"You? Keith? In *those*?"

Keith flicked the switch and the lights went dim.

"They were a wedding gift," he mumbled.

I bowed my head to keep from laughing.

Jeff regained some control of himself.

"I knew you'd done some wild things in the Academy,
Keith, but *this*....."

"Shutup." Keith glared at me. "Come on, let's go back
to bed."

I shook my head as I raised it to look at him.

"No. I want to learn..."

He reluctantly grinned and a devious look came into
his eyes.

"Well, you could at *least* sit on my lap...until it
falls asleep."

"Very funny."

I stood up so he could sit where I was.

As he passed me he brushed a hand over my upper back
and my robe slid to the floor.

He kissed the back of my neck as he sat down. For a
split second I felt his teeth as he gently nipped me
there.

Jeff bowed his head and raised an eyebrow as his hands
moved over the game.

"You know how it starts, we each need to pick a
piece...uhm, a *game* piece...."

I wondered what these two men saw about me that *I*
didn't.

Keith held my sides as he gently guided me onto his
lap.

As I adjusted my behind on his thighs, I felt the
breeze on my shoulders and bosom as my nightgown slid
down to my waist.

Thank *goodness* I was wearing underwear.

Jeff blushed to his roots.

"Uhhhmmmmmmm....." I began, fully intending to scold
Keith for his impatience.

Keith reached for a game piece. "Let's go," he said as
though nothing was happening.

I grabbed it from him.

"YOU....*give* me that!"

He did some adjusting of his own until I could feel
the source of his impatience.

"Certainly," he said with a wink.

Jeff broke out into a sweat.

"I'm going to count out the money now...."

Keith's hands roamed over me.

Jeff began...I couldn't believe my eyes...to get
stiff.

Keith grinned lazily.

"Wanna share?"

"NO!" Jeff spat. "Just let her play, man!"

"Just kidding," Keith drawled, "Right now I wouldn't
even share her with *Lotor*."

"Why here and now?" I whispered.

"Decorum from *you*?" Keith teased as he eased both of
us into a better position.

I winced a little as we made contact.

Jeff was now so aroused that his hands were shaking
and he was emitting little strained breaths.

"Devana..." he involuntarily whispered, telling us
just what sort of thoughts he had about her.

Keith proceeded to ride me into a blissful oblivion as
Jeff failed in his attempt not to watch with
fascination.

When we came back, Jeff looked as though he was going
to pop.

Ahhhh, to see a man as he reaches the point, and then
to watch as he crashes over it....is truly a beautiful
sight.

Keith and I waited.

Jeff quietly excused himself. "As you were," he
whispered.

But Keith and I only continued to watch him.

Jeff gingerly held his crotch as he walked towards the
entrance.

Tamy, Devana, Michelle and Jess, each carrying a tray
laden with munchies, appeared in the doorway.

Keith and I thought Jeff was going to have a heart
attack.

"DEVANA!!"

"JEFF!"

"What are you--"

"We heard you were awake and that you were in here
with Gina so--"

"OH my God, Oh my GOD!"

"Jeff--?"

"Don't look at me! I gotta go...relieve myself..."

Jeff ran for the nearest bathroom.

A visibly shaken Devana didn't know whether to go
after him or come into the room.

The other Ladies shook their heads as they walked in
and set their trays down on a nearby table.

Tamy scolded us: "Don't you two *ever* take a break?"

Keith shrugged. "She was away from me for too long."

Tamy put her hands on her hips. "Disengage," she
gently commanded as the Ladies sat on a couch.

Keith scowled as I c-a-r-e-f-u-l-l-y got off of him
and slid down next to him, putting my feet in his lap.

"You better come back soon," he whispered.

I made a face at him.

Devana loudly cleared her throat.

"Well, now that we're here...we'll just wait for him
to come back so that I can learn how to play."

Keith grinned wickedly and flicked the hidden switch.
A second later, he flicked another and tinny Christmas
music played.

"To entertain you Ladies," he said with a wink. "Let's
sing Christmas songs, shall we? Jingle ba—"

"HEY!" I interrupted him.

"But they *are* jingling!" he protested.

When Jeff came back in a while later, he looked
drained but relieved.

That quickly changed to fear when he saw what Keith's
briefs were doing.

Moving quickly, Tamy and Michelle grabbed him.

Devana slid next to me.

Tamy and Michelle plunked Jeff down next to Devana and
then sat down on his other side.

"*Now* we can play," Jeff muttered.

Tamy snapped her fingers and a few Slaves came into
the room, picked up the munchie trays, and set them
down nearby.

"*Now* we can play," she said.

Monopoly Madness..part 12

Devana and the girls sat in Tam's room while Jeff gave Lotor more game stratagies in the harem's main lounge.

Devana paid no attention the the chatter going on around her. She was to busy panicking inside. ~~I thought he was over that! Oh my God...what if Sven shows up? If?? Better to ask what am I going to do WHEN Sven shows up. Sven'll murder Jeff if he sees that... Like I haven't been though enough with Romelle chasing Sven, Romelle's Sven look-alike husband chasing me (aka Stefan). Heck, when Jeff's girlfriend finds out she'll kill me...~~

"Dev...Dev, you ok?" Michelle glance worriedly to their sister-in-law/future sister-in-law, "DEVANA!!"

"Wha..???" Devana nearly jumped out of her skin. "Geesh Michelle, did you have to do that?"

"Yeah, what's wrong with you? You look like you're about to have a nervous breakdown."

"Not a bad idea...." Devana half-whispered.

"Michelle's right," Tamy spoke between bites of a Taco Bell taco, of which Devana brought several, "Ever since that run in with Jeff last night you've been real jumpy."

Devana sat down, "I might as well fess up. Jeff and I....we, well, we kinda sorta have a past."

"Does Sven know?" Dom jumped in.

"No, there's never been a reason to say anything. It was back at the Academy and I didn't even know Sven then...our paths just never crossed there. I didn't meet Sven until I got this assignment and Jeff's been on Explorer forever. I heard they were buddies at the Academy but I never thought there'd be a problem." Devana looked down at her hands, which were trembling, "I don't know what to expect when Sven shows up...it's only a matter of time before he does. Everything's spinning out of control."

"Uhh, is this gonna affect you when you play Monopoly against Lotor?" Dom slipped the question in.

"Sure," Devana half-heartedly chuckled, "I won't be able to play worth crap. He'll definately win."

The Scribes looked at each other. Things would be back to normal for them. Lotor wouldn't be pouting anymore but Devana's life could very well be turned upside down.

Monopoly Madness...part 13
The Scribes watched in silence as Devana and Lotor played their game. Lotor was winning. He was winning by so much that the game looked like the mirror image of how it usually went.

"This isn't good," Tam whispered, "he's scowling."

Suddenly Lotor stood up and knocked over the board, "You're letting me win!."

"Ok, this is very bad," Rosemary stated as they watched Lotor storm off and slam the door to his room shut.

"Fabulous," Dom murmured, "Nunnery here we come."

"Ok," Michelle spoke, "Someone has to call Arus and get Sven out here...pronto."

Jeff lifted his head, "Sven? Oh man...you want to see me die don't you? I heard how he was about Stefan wanting Devana."

Devana

Monopoly Madness...part 14
Michelle called a meeting of the Scribes immediately after Lotor knocked
the gameboard over.

"Ok, here's the situation. Lotor needs to beat Devana at monopoly or we
all might as well join a convent," Michelle paced the room, "Our
complications...Jeff and Devana have a past and Devie is flipping out
that he's apparently still interested. This affects how she plays and
Lotor thinks she threw the last round. Suggestions?"

"We need to get Sven out here and have him show Devana she has nothing
to worry about." Tamy spoke up.

"But will Sven be jealous?" Dom interjected.

"If he is, we need to make it work in Devana's favor." Samara smiled.

Tam grinned, "Yeah! Like if he thinks she might leave him for Jeff he'll
pour it on thick!"
*************************************

Ok, I'm again attempting to continue my on again-off again
story....which I'll remind you all is open for everyone to post to. Now
I challenge the rest of you to start writing again. You are the
Scribes....aren't you?

Devana

Subj: Monopoly Madness: A quick interlude
(Ahhhhhhh, how good it feels to write...)

Lotor and Ram-O played chess in the GrandMaster's
chambers.

It was supposed to be a friendly game, but as soon as
Ram-O - an expert player - showed signs of winning,
Lotor slammed his palms on the table, upsetting the
board.

Ram-O lightly bit his tongue to keep from commenting
as he bent to pick up the scattered chess pieces.

Lotor cursed.

"I do NOT believe that I am losing to a SLAVE!"

Alex and Sebastian, who had been keeping the two
supplied with munchies and drinks, trembled.

"BAH!"

Lotor got up from the table and paced the room.

"Do NONE of you understand? Does NO ONE understand?! I
MUST win! I MUST!"

He held his chin high.

"It is a matter of Drule pride."

Ram-O rolled his eyes.

"GrandMaster, perhaps you should try to—"

Lotor growled.

"I MUST win. You there! Alexander! Come over here and
help Ram-O reassemble the board. He and I shall play
again."

He sat back down and glared at Ram-O in a way that
unnerved him greatly.

"And THIS time, I shall win."

Devi, you wanted it, you got it!! My spin on the story....Oh dear!!

"Okay ladies, this is serious!!" Michelle stated, hands on her hips. "It wouldn't be the crisis that it is, if it was just sex with Lotor that was banned!"
"Says you!!" Devoted Samara murmured.
"No, she's right!" Gina jumped in. "He's banned sex for everyone!! How dare he force all of us to abstain, just because he refuses to get some until he beats Devana at some STUPID board game!!"
"YEAH!!" Dom shouted. "What's next?! Locking up the men slaves, to make sure no one actually goes behind his back, and gets some pleasure out of this?!"
"At the rate this is going, it just might get that serious!!" Tamy fumed. "He's obsessed at winning!! But not only that, he's obsessed at winning and making it look good!!"
"Damn ego of his!!" Jenn grumbled. "Why couldn't he have been satisfied with that last win!"
"Yes, he is prideful..." Sammie sighed. "I'm afraid this one is going to be tricky. She has to play well, but not well enough to win...."
"Which leaves us back at square one...." mumbled Michelle, frowning. "Either she plays so well, she gets a supreme lead over him, or gets so distracted by Jeff, that she barely even buys any properties!!"
"That's probably why Lotor thinks she threw the game." Moonie said. "Whoever heard of landing on Boardwalk and not buying it! Especially with a handful of cash at your disposal!!"
"Well!!" Michelle huffed. "I for one am not giving up! Why if this continues, Zarkon might get word of this, and start snooping around!!"
"Lotor might not even care if one of us gets kidnapped!" Tamy cried, causing them all to shudder at the thought.
"But what can we do?!" Dom asked.
"That's why I've called this secret meeting!" Michelle smiled, her emerald eyes gleaming.
"Uh-oh....I know that look. She's got another harebrained scheme in the works." Tamy said, but she was grinning as she said it.
"I propose a little covert operation!!" Michelle raised a fist dramatically. "Are you with me?!"
"YEAH!!!" They all shouted, eager to get this debacle over with.
"Okay!! Here's what we're gonna do!" Michelle replied, glancing around furtively. The group moved closer together, lowering the voices to a whisper. "First, we're gonna need to work some magic!"
"Magic?!" Sammie shook her head in disbelief. "What?! You gonna cast a spell that forces Lotor to accept defeat?! HA!! His pride is more strong than that!"
"No, no, no!!" Michelle grinned. "Nothing that obvious!!"
"Besides..." Dom interjected. "Sarah already tried that and failed....."
"Ahem!!" Michelle said. "My idea is this...we stick to Tamy's plan of having Sven find out about Jeff...He'll be so busy wining and dining her, she won't have time for Monopoly!"
"Then what good does that do us?!" snapped Gina.
"Ah, here's where the magic comes into play." Michelle said, waving a finger around. "Sven takes Devana, off planet, or just into a bedroom for some romance."
"Whatever the case, she's not around yes...?" Gina interrupted again.
"Exactly!!" Michelle grinned. "With a little magic, one of us is transformed into Devana...and voila!! Lotor has the game of his life!!"
Gina now grinned, seeing the beauty of the plan. "We can make this a big event, get Valeta to tape it, the scribes to cheer him on, as he wins by just a point or two!!"
"And after a long, drawn out game!!" Tamy said gleefully. "Think of how good he'll feel to find out he beat her by $500 dollars or so!!"
"He'll definitely be satisfied then!!" Sammie agreed.
"And I'll be the perfect one to play Devana!!" Dom cried enthusiastically.
"NOOOOOOOOOO!!" They all screamed as one, causing Dom to look hurt. "What, you don't think I could pull it off?!"
"It's not that..." Moonie patted the girl's shoulders. "I'm sure you'd be great as Devana....."
"That's exactly the problem!" Jenn said. "Too great! You'd be sure to win!!"
The Scribes all nodded their heads in agreement. "Remember Poker....?" Gina asked. "Or Scrabble?" said Michelle. "Or all those video games?" Tamy added.
"Oh yeah!!" Dom said, her smile practically blinding them.
"No, we need someone whose a good player, and one who will make losing look real...." Michelle said, thoughtfully. "One whose good at numbers, who won't accidentally win....can keep track of whose got how much money each...."
"But who?" Dom asked.
"Hmmmmmm......" They seemed at a lost for ideas.
"Maybe Sarah?!" Tamy said, but she seemed doubtful.
"How about Rosemary?" Suggested Samara.
"We may just each have to have a go at playing him, until one of the faux pas Devana's loses...." Jenn said, sighing. "That'll take forever!!!"
"Yeah..." They all sighed, majorily bummed.
"HOLD IT RIGHT THERE!!" A shadowy figure called from the doorway of the luxurious spa. "HOW ABOUT ME?!"
"YOU?!" Their eyes were wide in shock. Then grins spread across their face.
"It just might work!!" Michelle grinned. "We've seen your aptitude at math..."
"PHEW!!" Moonie sighed. "I'd hate to be in your clothes! Keeping track of how much money Lotor spends, and acquires will be quite the head teaser!!"
"But if anyone can do it, I can!!" said the savior of the harem quite confidently.
"GREAT!!" Let's get this show on the road!!" Jenn said. "We've got quite a lot to do. Spells to cast, rumors to spread, board games to set up!"
"Let's hurry now, while Lotor is busy throwing temper tantrums at Ram-O!" Gina said, climbing out of the hot tub.
"We'll take care of the spell casting!" Tamy said, slinging an arm around Michelle's shoulders. "Wonder what ingredients this spell will require....?"
"Guess we'll arrange for Sven to accidentally on purpose over hear us discussing Jeff and Devana!" Moonie grinned, looking from Dom to Jenn.
"I'll set up the board game, and get the palace cooks to start preparing all the snacks, Drule delicatessens, and desserts!" Samara said, wrapping her towel around her more securely. "This is gonna be quite the spectator's sport!!"
"And someone's got to locate Valeta and her camera!!" Michelle added. "Not to mention we should have our pens and paper ready to write down this historic event!!"
"RIGHT!! Rendezvous in three hours!" Tamy added. "Spread the word to the remaining scribes, and men slaves. One way or another this ends tonight!!"
And the Scribes all dashed off, to get dressed and take care of their assigned tasks.

Monopoly Madness....Part 16

"Okay, here he comes!!" Dom whispered excitedly to the gathered Scribes.
"Act natural!!"
Dom, Moonie, Jenn, and the newly informed Maeve, and Tia went rushing
towards the various couches and cushions, trying to hide their excitement and
laughter. Doom's resident Castle Control Operator, Jessie had just flickered
the lights on and off, a prearranged signal they had worked out just for this
occasion. Jessie was to keep an eye on the monitors, and when she saw Sven
approaching one of the corridors that lead to the lounge, to do the signal.
Sven would never suspect a thing. Of course, the five conveniently happened
to be sitting with their backs to the door, oblivious to anyone's entrance,
their loud chatter quite audible to any passerby who cared to stay and
easvedrop!
"So then Gina says he jumped up, holding himself down there..." Jenn
snickered, pointing in the general vicinity. "Obviously aroused from Keith
and Gina's little display of affection."
"And?!" Dom leaned forward, pretending not to have a clue as to what was
to came next.
"Well!!" Jenn grinned. "You'll never guess who he ran into!!"
"WHO?!" The four scribes chorused.
"Devana!!" Jenn replied.
"NOOOOO!!" Moonie breathed out, eyes wide in fake disbelief. "He didn't!!"
"Oh yes he did!!" Jenn grinned. "The panic he felt as he ran to the
bathroom, claiming the need to relieve himself was obvious for all to see!"
"I bet he did!" Dom giggled. "In more ways than one!!"
"And you can be sure Devana noticed the real cause of his distress!!"
Tia pointed out.
"I don't get it...." Maeve said, voicing Sven's current thoughts.
"What's the big deal? I mean, this is a harem, right? She should be used to
the sight, used to even more than that little display!"
"Ah!!" Moonie grinned, holding up a finger. "But those two have a
history!!"
"That's right!" Jenn grinned. "And from what Gina tells me, Jeffie-boy is
still got it bad!!"
"A history?" Maeve frowned. "You mean like a crush or past
friendship....?"
"More than that!!" Dom said gleefully. "They've done the horizontal mambo
more than once!!"
"NO!!!" Maeve and Tia both gasped in fake fretfulness. "What about
Sven?!"
"Well...." Dom winked. "What a man doesn't know....."
"No!!" Jenn interrupted quickly, shaking her head no at Dom. "This was
long ago!"
"This was way before she met Sven." Moonie answered. "Though I don't see
how he could NOT know. The V-force and Jeff all attended military school
together. They were such an item EVERYONE knew about them!" Moonie shrugged.
"You couldn't not miss hearing the talk. And it got very graphic! Seemed they
were more than serious. Out to get married and raise a little brood of Jeffie
and Devis!!"
"WHOAH!!!" Maeve breathed out in shock. This was certainly news to her!
"And Sven's okay with Jeff being here, with Devana so nearby?!"
"I guess he is!!" Jenn replied. "You don't see Jeff's blood all over the
place do you?!"
"Especially considering he asked Devana to a private dinner tonight!"
Moonie said. "Boy, I tell you, if it was me who had that whirlwind romance
with Jeff...Lance certainly wouldn't stand for it! I remember how the two of
them use to kiss!"
"You saw?!" Tia screeched.
"You better believe I did!" said Moonie. "When I would go visit Hunk, we
were always tripping over the two lovebirds!! WHy I wouldn't be surprise..."
She trailed off, as she hard a loud slam, of distant doors closing...HARD.
"Mission accomplished." Jenn smirked. "He's more than fired up now!!"
"You don't think we over did it, do you?" Tia frowned. "What if he's so
peeved he goes after Jeff, and dumps Devana!?!"
"Hmmm....didn't think of that..." Dom shrugged. "They've weathered worse
storms than that! This won't break them up!"
"If Romelle and Stefan couldn't do it, a little harmless gossip won't."
Said Jenn confidentially. "So we exaggerated a little. It was only to make
sure he and she stay out of sight for long enough for COSSACK to get beaten
by Lotor at Monopoly!!"
********************************************
"I still can't believe this!!" Rosemary complained, fussing with pins
and needles, as she hemmed up a puce colored gown around Cossack's bulky
frame. It looked to be made of remnants of several bridesmaid dresses,
probably the ones Princess Romelle had sent over for her fake wedding to Sven.
"I mean, this is totally unbelievable!!" Rosemay continued, wrinkling
her nose in distaste as she caught a glimpse of hairy legs through the gown's
folds. "Who would have ever believed General Cossack would be good at math!!"
"What?!" Cossack said feeling insulted."You thought I was just a
looker?!" He placed his hands on hips, swaying slightly with feigned
indignation. "I'm more than just a body babes, I've got a brain!!"
"Yeah right!" Rosemary snorted.
"Ouch!!" He cried, as he felt the needle prick his flesh. "Watch it!!
I've got very delicate skin!"
"Whatever!" Rosemary rolled her eyes in exasperation. "Quit moving around
then!!"
"Honestly!!" Michelle complained, looking up from the chalk drawings she
was etching onto the hard wooden floor. "It's not like you to dress up! The
spell will adequately hide your general's uniform!"
"Hey!" Cossack protested, with a grin. "You want me to get completely
into the role don't ya?! I've got to feel the part, and to do that, I need to
dress in women's clothing!"
"Me thinks you just like dressing in drag!" Michelle grumbled.
"Or wearing lacy lingerie!" Tamy scowled at the grinning vision in puce.
"Just one of the perks..." He frowned. "Which might I add, you denied
me!!"
"You're just lucky we didn't kill you for being in the spa when we were
there!" Tamy retorted. "I thought you gave that up for Sarah?!"
"Old habits die hard..." He sighed dramatically. "Besides...Lotor's
little sex ban extended to non harem personal.....and I couldn't resist
dressing up again."
"Let's hope he makes a better Devana than me..." Samara entered the
room, carrying a small vial of vinegar.
"Oh he will, he will!!" Michelle said quite confidently. "Once the spell
has been cast." She accepted the vinegar with a small smile. "Great, that's
everything!"
"Hey, when this is done, you think you could make me look like Cindy
Crawford?!" Cossack asked, causing them all to stare at him in shock. "What?!
Can't take a joke? Besides...." He mumbled blushing. "I was thinking for
asking for a raise...."
"Does Sarah know you're this weird?!" Michelle retorted, shaking her
head in disbelief.
"She believes it's one of my many fine quirky qualities." He said smugly,
then let out a yelp of pain as Rosemary accidentally got him with a needle
again.
"Sorry!" She mumbled, and stepped away. "There, done. It's the best i can
do...considering....the material and the model..."
"HEY!!" He protested. "I happen to make a great model! You should see me
in speedo!!"
"Er...let's not and say we did..." Tamy said, her blue skin turning
slightly green at the very idea of seeing that much of his skin. She gestured
towards the completed pentagram. "Step into the circle, and be careful not to
smudge any of the lines!!"
"Right!" He daintily lifted up his skirts, and began walking towards the
indicated area.
"Cossack....today we make a women out of you!" Michelle grinned.
"WAIT!!" He protested.
"What?!" was the exasperated response.
"Where are those high heels you promised me!!" He whined.
"Get in there you pervert!!" Tamy snarled, and gave him a shove. "GEEZ!!
How do we know this freak is really good at math?! This could just be a ploy
so he can have a legitimate excuse to dress up!"
"Legitimate she says!" Rosemary snorted in disbelief.
"No...I believe him." Samara said.
"You do?!" The three females and male said in shock. "Why?!"
"Well dumb as he may act, he has to have some brains to be such a high
ranking officer." Samara replied. "Sarah loves him, so he must connect to her
on an intellectual level as well as emotional...."
"Not to mention physically!!" Cossack leered, gyrating his hips in his
idol's Ricky Martin's fashion. "And the sex!! Oh boy!!"
"A pervert he may be...." Samara scowled, and he quickly stopped his
dancing. "Usually thinking with his balls instead of brains..."
"Isn't that the truth!" interrupted Tamy. Michelle and Rosemary merely
nodded their agreement.
"But he's smart enough to let Lotor have his way.' Sammie answered. "He
knows how to accept defeat, or lose credit to his superiors....And he knows
all those coordinates, and calculations for piloting. How many ships have
been lost because an overconfident baboon miscalculated by a mere degree?!"
"True, true!" Cossack said solemnly. "That's why I never delegate that
duty to anyone else. General Cossack does all his own navigating....on the
ship or in the bedroom!!" He grinned. "Though if you don't believe me.....how
about a little test, while one of you dames go round up a pair of heels for
my ensemble? Matching color of course!!"

A Monopoly Madness Interlude: Jeff and Keith make a bet...

...or DO they? Devious plans are afoot! And it appears
that one of my Man-Slaves is a traitor.

I was taking a walk around the Harem. Keith and I had
done a few rounds of martial arts training (it had
come very close to "full contact" at times!) and I
wanted to stretch my muscles.

Earlier, Keith had jogged past me - where he gets all
his energy I have no idea - and into the Kitchen,
where he had grabbed one of his eggy protein shakes,
guzzled it down, pitched the glass into the sink and
then jogged back out again, towards the Gym.

Ewwwww. I just hoped that he was working the shake off
in there.

As I rounded a corner Sebastian called me. I looked
back over my shoulder.

"Yes?"

Puffing just a little, he caught up to me and took my
elbow in his natural gentlemanly way.

"Masters Keith and Jeff are talking about you, my
Lady. And you had better watch out for Lotor. He's mad
enough to chew two-by-fours and spit out toothpicks.
He lost to Ram-O again despite Ram's best efforts."

"Ram did a wham-bam....? Oh, sorry. Terrible joke." I
raised an eyebrow. "What're K and J saying?"

'Bastian winced.

"Your Earth husband is ego-tripping. Master Jeff
mentioned how disgusting it was to see the two of you
showing each other all that affection in the Lounge.
Master Keith told him that he couldn't do any better,
couldn't have DONE any better since Lady Devana and
Master Sven are an item..."

He took a deep breath while I envisioned all of the
various ways Keith could be strung up.

"He further went on to say that you two engage in
these, ahem, affectionate endeavours at least ten
times a day, every day without fail and that if Master
Jeff could do any better, he would like to see it."

I cursed in my native tongue.

'Bastain bowed his head from the violence in my voice.

"Master Jeff rose to the bait. He said that he was
going to seduce a Lady and show Master Keith what a
MAN he is."

Ohhhhhh, this was proving to be a FANTASTIC way to
shape and hone my skills....

"Master Keith..." 'Bastian flushed. "Master Keith...."

"Well?"

Sebastian prepared to run.

"Master Keith said that if GrandMaster Lotor won the
chess match, he would have you for the weekend and
Master Jeff would have to stay away from the Harem for
a year. But if the Lady wins, Master Jeff will have
the opportunity to seduce you in front of her and
every—"

"WHAAAAAATTTTTTTTT??!!!!!"

I took off towards the Gym in a run.

As soon as I was out of view Sebastian heaved a long,
relaxing breath.

"She has gone to them, as you suspected she would,
Sir."

"SIRE, you fool!"

Lotor walked up to him from the shadows.

"Sorry." 'Bastian bowed his head again.

Lotor cursed him mildly as he reached into his
clothing and handed 'Bastian a bag of what sounded
like coins.

'Bastian burst into happy tears.

"Oh THANK you, THANK you! My family will be SO happy
to receive this, they're—"

"Good, good." Lotor verbally patted him on the head.
"Go now, go home, come back ONLY WHEN I send for you."

Sebastian nodded rapidly as he retreated.

"YES, Sire! THANK YOU, Sire! THANK YOU!!"

Lotor grinned deviously.

"FOOL. He does not even know his own GrandMaster from
a hole in the wall."

The imposter burst out laughing.


uh oh!
Who's the imposter?
Why did Sebastian say what he did to me? Was he lying?
If so, why?????

take it away!

Another Monopoly Madness Interlude: Jeff kamikazes over the edge

As I ran towards the Gym, thoughts tumbled about in my
mind.

The loudest thought was, "Would he REALLY do that to
me, just pass me around like some kind of candy?"

Would a man that couldn't go an hour without fooling
around risk something like that?

No. I didn't really think he would do something like
that.

Come to think of it, he and Jeff didn't like each
other too much, so why would Keith share me with him?

I stopped short.

I'd been tricked. But why? Who hated the idea of me
and Keith being together even more then Zarkon, Haggar
and Lotor-especially Lotor-did?

Greg did...but he was dead...wasn't he?

No, it couldn't be Greg. WHO, then?

"What's wrong, kanai?" Keith asked
affectionately...and possessively.

I slowly realized that I was in the open doorway of
the Gym.

Both Keith and Jeff had stopped working out to watch
me.

I met Keith's eyes with my own.

"Sebastian told me that you made a bet with Jeff
regarding me and the chess tournament."

"WHAT?" Jeff blushed. "We did no such
thing...alTHOUGH, MIND you, I noticed Sven in a snit a
while ago. Maybe he lost a bet, or something...."

He seemed to be totally unaware of the triangular
situation he had started. But how could THIS be?

Keith shook his head angrily.

"That traitor needs to be punished. How DARE he say
such a thing!"

He stroked my upper thigh.

"You are MINE, all MINE, and the only person I share
you with is Lotor—"

I gasped.

"NO, Keith. Don't even THINK that. And besides, he and
Ram-O have been tied up in chess games for the past
few hours."

His hand moved inward.

"I have to cover all angles, don't I?"

I pushed him away with an effort.

"NO, Keith. It wasn't Lotor. I know this in my heart."

Jeff smiled sadly.

"Can't argue with one's heart."

Keith raised an eyebrow.

"What're you trying to say, Jeffrey-san?"

Jeff heaved a sigh.

"It's not easy, seeing how much they love each other.
I've had girls since, but it's not the same."

Keith nodded thoughtfully.

"Yes, but you need to start moving on. You can't pine
on Dev forever. Don't you want her to be happy? Then
YOU need to be happy. Find someone new. If you and Dev
were meant to be together then you will be, but don't
hold off on your life waiting for her."

Jeff scowled.

"How DARE you say that to me! You and Gina—"

"You know how long it took this woman to say yes to
me? But that's not the point. She and I got lucky. The
time and place were right for us."

Jeff bowed his head.

"I guess...."

Keith walked over to him and put his hands on his
shoulders.

"Come on. What do you say we finish up here, then grab
a burger or something?"

Jeff raised his head.

"And after that, I'm going to find Sven and
apologize."

"Good." Keith began to lead him towards the doorway.

"THEN, I'm going to apologize to Devana for causing
her this pain and confusion."

"Great!"

Jeff stopped short. His eyes blazed.

"And THEN, I'm going to kill Sven so that Dev and I
can be together."

Keith and I glanced at each other, then back and Jeff.


He was serious, or thought that he was.

Either way, this plan of his had to be nipped NOW.

"Summon the Guard," Keith softly commanded me.

I turned to do so—and was almost knocked to the floor
by Sven himself, mad as hell and seeming to see only
Jeff.

"Like HELL you'll kill me. I'll kill you first, you
little—"

"AHHHHHRRRRRRGGGGHHHHH!"

Jeff tore away from Keith and rushed towards Sven.

Keith rushed after Jeff and stood between the two,
catching Jeff's hands in his own.

"NO."

"Let me GO!"

"NO."

Some patrolling Harem Guards came in to see what the
fuss was about.

Jeff tore free again and hurriedly dug into his
pockets.

He came out with a knife.

"Stand BACK, all of you! I'm not afraid to use this!
Get out of the way so that vengence shall be MINE!"

"Oh good grief...." Keith shook his head slowly.

Sven looked at me and narrowed his eyes.

"Go. GO!"

I went to inform the others. This was NOT going to be
good for the plans that we had made!!!

Monopoly Madness Part 17 and a Half

Sammie stifled a giggle, as she closed the door behind her. Cossack was
very disappointed that no one had taken him up on his offers, to test his sex
or math skills!! "He hasn't change much..." She mused to herself, as she left
the trio and Cossack behind to practice some hocus pocus.
"Hello Samara...." A deep male voice said, a hand appearing before her
face, with a small bouquet of tulips.
"OH!!" Her eyes widened as she smiled in delight. "Dargon!! You're
back!!" She leapt into his arms, causing the tulips to scatter across the
floor.
"Hey.." He chuckled, as he swung her lightly about in his embrace. "Glad
to see you haven't forgotten all about me!!"
"Hmph..." She tried to look stern, as he set her back down on the floor.
"You've been gone for some time now, I thought maybe you've forgotten about
me!!"
"Never that!!" Dargon's eyes twinkled, as he gathered up the fallen
flowers. "It's just Lotor's been keeping me busy off planet and lately I find
myself having to pick up the work load where that idiot Gojorn is concerned!!"
"Gojorn..." Sammie's eyes darkened at the name. "How is Tamy's two
timing Ex?!"
"Miserable as a dog!!" Dargon laughed, proffering his arm to her. "And his
pregnant wife is making him pay ten fold for that little scheme he pulled a
while ago!"
Sammie couldn't help but smirk a little at the man's misfortune.
"So what's been going on around here?" Dargon asked, as they strolled
through the halls at a leisurely pace. "Zarkon still being a disgusting
pig?!"
"Oddly enough, it's been pretty quiet on that front lately..." Sammie
replied. "Hagger and Mum-Ra have also ceased to be menaces...at least for the
time being." She let out a heavy sigh.
"Peace and Quiet getting to you, huh?!" He said teasingly. "Well I know
the cure for that!!" He moved in for a kiss, but she placed her fingertips
against his lips, holding him at bay.
"It's not that, Dargon...." Sammie said, a hint of frustration in her
voice.
"Then what is?!" Dargon asked, catching her hand in his, placing small,
moist kisses up the lengt of her arms.
"It's Lotor!" She said, trying not to giggle at the tingling sensation
he was inducing on her skin.
"What about him?!" Dargon asked.
She sighed again. "We finally have some peace and quiet for once! We
should be enjoying ourselves, this calm before a storm! And what does he do?!
Bans sex!!"
"What?!" Dargon paused in disbelief and shock. "Did you just say he's
banned sex?!"
"YES!!" Sammie pouted cutely.
"Are we talking about the same man?" Dargon asked, confusion swirling in
his eyes. "Lotor, Crown Prince of Doom, about yea tall, azure skin, long
white locks?! Has the libido of a thousand men?!"
She shot him an annoyed look.
"OH!!" Dargon brightened up. "I get it!! It's one of those Earth
Customs!! Happy April Fool's, yes?!"
"I only wish!!" Sammie replied. "This has been going on for a few months
now!!"
"Could it be a spell?!" Dargon asked.
"NOOOO!!!!" She scowled. "It's his ego talking!"
"Oh dear..." Dargon murmured. "What's got his pride so badly wounded?!"
"It's a stupid game!!" Sammie replied, only to get caught off by
Dargon's com unit going off. "BBZZZT....I repeat, an A1025 priority one going
on in the harem gym. All available personal report there immediately! Intent
to take down hostiles!!"
"What's going on?!" Samara asked, eyes wide. "Is it Zarkon?!"
"Since when do guards interfere when his royal horniness is on the
rampage?!" Dargon replied. "It's someone in the harem fighting another!"
"WHAT?!" She gasped in shock. "It can't be!! At least...not any of the
Scribes...they'd never lift a hand against one another!!"
"All I know is that's the code for non militant personal!" Dargon said,
and grasped her hand. "Barring guards, medical staff, and servants, any
visitors to the harem, be they scribes, man slaves, friends or family members
or female slaves from the lower harems, get classified under one codename."
"Well, then, come on!!" Sammie said, and broke off into a run. "The
sooner we get there, the sooner we get some answers!"
****************************************************
Hmmm...Help is on the way...Will Sammie and the Guards get their in time
before Sven and/or Jeff is seriously hurt?!
