I'm proud of this chapter, although I'm not sure WHY. I just like it.

Chapter 3: The Magic is Gone
---
Diamond City - Penny's Laboratory.
"Good morning, Ashley."
"There's nothing good about it."
Ashley had woken up early at Penny's request, and it showed that she obviously needed more sleep. She was rubbing her eyes, and the top of her dress wasn't completely on. The orange bow around her neck wasn't tied, and the golden skull charm was hanging lifelessly.
"I think you look cute with bedhead!" Penny said, smiling at the girl who had messy black hair, the orange hairclip barely in place. Ashley blushed, that frustrated look still on her face as she adjusted her hair. Penny giggled as she took the Witch's hand, leading her inside. "I knew you'd be a grumpy girl, so I made you breakfast." Penny smiled, pecking the girl's cheek which immediately caused Ashley to blush.
"Oh it's alright, Red does that every morning, and-" Penny's eyes were starting to tear up at Ashley's words. Ashley signed, taking the girl into her arms and nuzzling her cheek. "Alright, my dear. Just show me what you've made."
Penny's eyes turned back to their usually happiness as she pulled the Witch into the kitchen, pushing her into a wooden chair. As Ashley saw the very wide spread of food Penny had on the table, she felt her stomach turn - Red's cooking wasn't that great, and that upset her stomach already. What would Penny's food do to her? The girl sighed as she picked up a fork, pulling a plate towards her.
About an hour later, Ashley was leaned back in the chair, feeling as if all of that food could quickly come right back up. Penny's food was surprisingly delicious, but she had made so much that Ashley could barely hold it all. Penny smiled throughout the Witch's meal, happy that she could please her girlfriend. As soon as Ashley stood, Penny kissed her cheek. The Redhead ran a finger across Ashley's lips, putting that finger to her own and licking it clean.
"You had some egg on your mouth." Penny said, giving the girl a sly look. Ashley blushed at that for some reason; unsure as to why that was embarrassing. She followed Penny out of the lab, the other girl taking her hand as they made their way down the sidewalk. "So what would you like to do today?" Penny asked, taking the girl's arm and nuzzling her cheek as they walked. Ashley's face went to the usual annoyed expression, although she was blushing lightly.
"I don't care, just pick something … I really don't-" A yawn stopped the girl, but she didn't have any recovery time, Penny grabbing her wrist and running down the sidewalk. "Whoa! Slow down a little!" Ashley said, almost tripping. Penny didn't reply, still moving forward. "Where are we going?"
"I remembered the new game goes on sale this morning! Wario said we had to be there for autograph signings!" Penny yelled back to her as she forced Ashley to run with her, a large building beginning to appear in front of them, with large letters on the top spelling 'Toy Express.' As the Witch and the Scientist reached the parking lot, they saw their fellow WarioWare employees waiting at a small, deserted table. They all looked very bored except Wario, who had a huge grin on his face.
"Why so happy, Wario?" Penny asked as the girls reached the table. Wario looked at her, giving a thumbs up.
"Wario's new game will give me lots of cash!" He said, his smile not leaving. Mona lazily waved at the girls, Red leaving his seat and walking over to Ashley, giving her a smile. Ashley patted the Devil's head as the she and Penny took their seats between Dribble and Spitz. Ashley looked over to her large, rather unpleasant-smelling boss.
"When exactly does the game start selling, Wario?" Wario didn't even bother to look at her.
"A month from next Thursday!" he said, making the rest of the group slowly turn and stare at him. Mona practically choked him as she pounced at the large man.
"You told us today! You said we would have tons of fans buying this game TODAY!" She said, grabbing Wario by the collar.
"Of course! Everyone will come at a chance to see Wario!" He said with that same grin still there. Mona tossed him back into his seat, leaving the table with the rest of the employees. The group looked rather annoyed as Wario sat there, just waiting on people who wouldn't appear.
"Excellent … Everyone loves Wario, they'll come soon …" The man said as he sat there alone.
After a long, awkward walk back to Ashley's mansion, the girls sat around for a while, enjoying themselves. Ashley once again made tea, and the two talked about future Microgame plans for the next WarioWare production. Around 9 PM, Penny kissed the girl's cheek as she headed out the large double doors, Ashley waving her goodbye from the doorway. As soon as the girl was out of sight, Ashley slowly turned around as she closed the door.
"Red! Get in here now!"
As the clock struck 10, A thought rushed through Penny's head as she leaped from the chair she was in, quickly running from the laboratory.
"Oh my gosh, I forgot my earrings at Ashley's!" She thought out loud as she ran to the Mansion. Penny had no idea why she was making such a fuss over it, but when those earrings were small half-moons charms given to you by a magical girlfriend, you kind of want to make sure you don't misplace them.
As Penny reached the Mansion, she immediately opened the door (Ashley had given her permission to enter at any time she needed,) and ran up the stairs to Ashley's room. As she opened the door, her eyes grew wide at the sight. Ashley was nude on her bed, with Red in front of her, holding her legs apart and thrusting quickly.
"Red! Y-Yeah! Good!"
"I-I'm glad you like it, Ashley!"
Penny was silent, grabbing her earrings from the black dresser near the door and watching the two. She felt like she could cry a river of tears, but at the same time she was slightly aroused at the sight. She had suspected even before their relationship started that Ashley and Red had some kind of secret going, but she had no idea what it could be. Still not noticing the girl, the Witch and Devil continued their actions.
"Red! O-Oh yeah, I'm cumming!"
"I am too … !"
The small Devil pulled out of the girl, giving Penny a chance to see him - The small creature certainly made up for his small height in the size of his member - It was very large, and throbbing from the sex going on. Red moaned softly as stream after stream of white liquid shot from the tip of his member, covering Ashley's face as the girl gave one last pleasured scream, dripping liquid from her moist hole onto the bed's white sheets. As the two were panting slightly from the pleasure, Penny decided to make herself seen.
"A-hem."
Both Red and Ashley slowly looked over, their eyes both widening at the site of Penny. Ashley quickly grabbed the Devil by the neck, flinging him across the room and into a wall.
"P-Penny! It's not what it looks like!"
Penny stood against the wall, arms crossed and an eyebrow raised. Ashley frowned, sighing.
"Okay … You know I love you, and making love to you is amazing, but … I like some male interaction once in a while, and Red's the only male I tolerate." Ashley said, standing up and walking over to the girl, who backed away.
"Don't even speak to me right now, Ashley. I don't know what to think. We'll discuss this after the meeting tomorrow." Penny said, turning and leaving the Mansion without another word.
Ashley sat on the bed, looking very upset. For the first time in her life, or at least in a long while, tears streamed down her face. She had cheated on the only person who loved her! She'd been doing this with Red long before she had even met Penny, but that was no reason to continue it after she and Penny had become a couple! Red walked over to the girl, patting her leg.
"It'll be okay, Ashley-WHOAAA!" Ashley had grabbed him and flung him from the room, stopping him in mid-sentence. The Devil hit every stair as he fell, quickly regaining himself. "I didn't know it would be this big of a problem … I should really do something." Red thought out loud, standing up and leaving the Mansion.
Ashley just laid down and covered herself in a blanket, silently sobbing herself to sleep.
The next morning - WarioWare, Inc. Office building, Staff meeting room.
The entire group was sitting around a large table as usual, listening to Wario's bickering about progress, design, and profits.
Ashley and Penny were next to each other as usual, but nothing else was the same. The girls used to hold hands, as no one could see this from under the table, but this time Penny wouldn't even look at the Witch. Red looked rather upset too, but no one seemed to notice - It's not like they could - Wario was being way too loud and distracting. These meetings weren't really about the company at all - Wario was just unhappy and needed someone to yell at.
"So Jimmy can make about seven new games tomorrow night, and-" Wario started, but the blue-haired man sitting next to him quickly stopped him.
"No way man, I got a date at Club Sugar tomorrow night." He said, Wario ignoring him completely.
"And those games we can add to the next full version …"
After this rather short meeting, the group all said their goodbyes and headed off. Red sighed as he left the room alone - Ashley had left much earlier than he did, still depressed about the day before. Red opened the door, but paused as he felt a hand on his shoulder.
"Aw, what's wrong lil' guy?" He turned, seeing Mona smiling down at him. "You looked kinda sad today, what's up?" She asked. Red sighed, looking up at her.
"Okay, but you're not gonna like it …"
-One small story later …-
Mona's eyes were wide, the left one twitching.
"So you … And Ashley, and … She and Penny, and …" Mona was tongue-tied - This was all unexpected, and … Rather unwanted. Red sighed, nodding. Mona tried to force a smile, patting the Devil's head.
"Don't worry lil' guy, I can help you out." She said, Red now looking very happy.
"You … You can?!" He asked, his eyes sparkling with joy. Mona nodded, motioning him out the door and following.
"I can … But first, we need to make a little stop …"
Diamond City - Mona Pizza
Red's happily spinning around on a stool while Mona's holding a cell phone to her ear, smiling at the Devil as she talks.
"Yeah, Ashley? Hey! It's Mona! Yeah, been a while … What, 5 minutes? Long time! Anyway, I was thinking maybe you'll wanna come down to the restaurant tonight, Wario's throwing a company dinner … Yes, I know Wario only cares about himself … Yes, I know he wouldn't buy someone else anything to save his life … Okay, I get the point. Okay! Just be here at 6!" Mona closed the phone, slightly fuming at the girl's bad attitude. She sighed as she opened the phone again, quickly dialing another number.
"Yeah, Penny? … Hey! …"
Mona Pizza - 5:39 PM
Mona and Red were in the restaurant's kitchen, quickly putting pizzas into the oven as Red cleaned the place, moving up front to wipe the counter down. He turned to Mona, smiling.
"It's all clean!" He said. Mona smiled, but shook her head.
"Oh no, they're not using the counter." She said, Red looking confused.
"Huh?" Mona pointed to the tables behind the Devil, Red turning around. One of them was set beautifully, complete with a melting white candle in the center. The area around it was lit very dim for the romantic atmosphere, although the rest of the building was fully lit. He wasn't sure how Mona did that, but he felt it was a little too strange to object.
The door opened, a bell ringing to tell that someone entered. Ashley walked in, still looking a little upset from yesterday. She looked around, slowly turning to Red, who was nervously looking at her.
"Red. Where is everyone." She said, glaring at him. Red was shaking, shrugging his small arms.
"I … They're not here yet? Dribble said the cab was having trouble, and Dr. Crygor said he would be a little late, and Wario … Well, Wario doesn't care …" He slowly stammered, the girl nodding and sitting down next to him. Mona appeared from the kitchen, smiling at Ashley.
"Good evening, magical one." She smiled.
"Pfft." Ashley groaned, not greeting the girl. Mona was about to say something, but was stopped by the bell ringing yet again - Penny had entered. Ashley turned, and as soon as the two locked eyes, they quickly turned away from each other. Penny stared at the wall as she finally spoke.
"What is SHE doing here?" She asked, Mona trying her best to stay calm at this. "You told me that Grandpa wanted me here for a reason." Dr. Crygor was the girl's Grandfather, and sometimes wanted to discuss the girl's inventions - To give her advice, or just praise. Mona smiled, leaning on the counter.
"So what if Ashley's here, she's your girlfriend for Pete's sake."
Both Ashley and Penny froze, turning around and glaring at Red, who couldn't stop shaking. Ashley grabbed him by the neck, holding him up in the air. Her blood-red eyes were getting darker, and her hair was beginning to stand on end.
"What … did … you … TELL HER?!" She yelled, tossing the Devil across the room and into a wall. Mona ran over, picking Red up and dusting him off, glaring at Ashley.
"He didn't tell me anything, it was a little obvious!" She said, both Ashley and Penny just staring at her. "We prepared this to have you two make up, and all you do is be rude! You two love each other, remember?!" She said, Red shaking and staying close to her.
"Hmph. I can't even trust this girl." Penny said, still not facing the Witch. Ashley nodded, still facing away.
"And she can't accept a truthful apology, especially when someone's sorry to the point of tears." Ashley said. At the mention of tears, Penny slowly turned.
"I … I made you cry?" She said, Ashley looking over her shoulder.
"No. I made me cry … I should never have continued what I did after you came into my life. I love you, Penny. I never want this to end." She turned around but was quickly pushed to the floor by Penny pouncing her, holding her tight and nuzzling her cheek.
"Oh Ashley! I knew you still loved me! I can forgive you now!" Penny said, giving the girl a long kiss on the cheek. Ashley's eyes widened as her entire face became red.
"I love you too, Penny." She said, Penny sitting up, giving the girl a serious look.
"But no more of THAT." She said, pointing at Red, who nodded. Ashley nodded as well, smiling.
"Okay, none of that. I can just use a toy-" She paused, seeing Mona's horrified expression. "I mean I'll just have some self-control."
After another long kiss which only slightly disgusted Mona, the girls sat at the specially prepared table and had a nice, long conversation through dinner. A pizza dinner wasn't exactly romantic, but they didn't care - The food was the least of their concerns. They both said their goodbyes to Mona as they left, Ashley, Penny, and Red now walking back to the Mansion.
"I'm so glad we patched things up." Penny said, kissing Ashley on the cheek. The Witch blushed, and Red just shivered. "So … What shall we do to make up for lost time?" Penny smirked, Ashley turning completely red yet again.
"I don't know … I …" Before she could finish, Penny grabbed the girl's collar and pulled her into the mansion, slamming the door behind them.
Red was tossed out the window a few moments later.
The two made their way up into Ashley's room, the Witch pushing Penny to the bed and holding her close, their lips locked in a deep kiss. Ashley's tongue swirled around Penny's, the two girls loving the embrace as they lay on the soft bed, moving around as the kiss continued. As Ashley pulled away, she smiled at Penny, who was reaching up to untie the Witch's orange bow, pulling it off completely.
Ashley sat up, pulling her arms in through her sleeves and pushing her red dress down her body, laying it aside. The girl smirked at Penny, the only thing on her body now were her black laced panties and her black knee-high socks. Penny returned the smirk, pulling off her pink coat and tossing it aside, standing from the bed. She grabbed the straps of her black jumpsuit, slowly pulling it down her body, causing Ashley to stare. She'd seen Penny's body multiple times, but every time was still arousing. Penny's thumbs were on the suit's straps as she pulled it down - First her breasts were exposed. Like Ashley, she didn't have much, but they were cute. It went down to her waist, beginning to show her curves, until it finally hit her pink boots - The girl skipped panties today. Kicking it and her boots aside, she climbed back into bed with the Witch, holding her close.
"I love you, Ashley." She said, nuzzling the girl. Ashley patted her head, smiling.
"I love you too, Penny. Now let's have fun."
A smirk from Penny was all Ashley needed to push the girl to her back.
About an hour later, Red finally made his way back to the Mansion. He opened the door and stood still, listening for if the girls were still here.
"A-ASHLEY! YES! O-OH GOD!"
"Y-Yes, Penny … Y-Yes …"
Red shivered, starting to feel faint.
"Oh my GOD … Do they have to do that HERE?"
