“Tell me Matt, do you live locally?” Sophie asked him, annoyance obvious in her voice.
“Why yes I do…Sophie, was it?” Matt smirked in response.
“Then please allow me to take you home.” Sophie practically dragged Matt into the car, Lumiosa sitting next to him, while Alexis drove. Sophie waited until they were away before starting her rant.
“You fucking moron!” She shouted. “What were you doing in there!?”
“I couldn’t get into the safe, so I came to see what you guys were doing,” Matt replied. “When I got caught, I improvised.”
“That wasn’t in the plan!”
“So? They seem like nice people Sophie. I don’t think we’re in any danger.”
“Matt, those girls he’s got working at that place have been his family’s slaves for 200 years! And you saw how the others were rude to Alexis. They see their genies as possessions, not people. Hence why they’ve got 217 of them locked up.”
“Well maybe if we join their group, we can gain access to those genies, and get them out of there.”
“Still…I don’t trust them.”
“Sophie, perhaps Matt is right,” Alexis said.
“Alexis, shut up,” Sophie ordered her.
“I get you’re upset, and you don’t trust them, but I really think it might benefit us to stay with them,” Matt said. “Didn’t you say you were glad you’d found another guy with a genie?”
“Yes, but these people are different. They’re not like you. I agree we should stay with them, but they’re not our friends. We’re with them to free the captured genies. And then, who knows?”
“Alright then. Look…I’m sorry.”
“It’s alright. I’m sorry too. I shouldn’t have shouted.”
“No, you should have. I went against the plan, and now that Alex guy’s suspicious of me. He’s gonna want to know how I got Lumiosa’s lamp.”
“Well we’ll have to see what happens next. What the other members do.”
They pulled up outside Matt’s house, and he and Lumiosa got out.
“I don’t know what’s going to happen now,” Sophie said. “I suppose we could be together a bit now at least. Just say we hooked up after tonight.”
“Do you wanna come in?” Matt asked. “Not necessarily for sex. Just for cuddles if you want.”
“No, it’s fine. I just want to go home and rest. Thanks though.”
“Alright then. Goodnight Sophie.”
“Goodnight Matt.”
The two of them kissed, and parted for the night.
