Magenta slammed the plate across the room as Nicole walked into their house.
"What?", Nicole exclaimed.
"There is no power to the replicators again! AGAIN!", Magenta screamed.
"The Klingon advance force has damaged the grid. Commander Teero is working on the TNT distribution.", Nicole replied.
"Yeah! How the hell is that gonna feed Brenna?", Magenta snapped.
"You have not been here, Nikki while our little girl walked around asking me for something to eat.", Magenta snarled.
Nicole tried to answer.
"You have not been here, Nikki. Not at all.", Magenta interrupted.
Nicole reached out to grab her arm.
"Don't touch me. Why would want to touch me when I am upset? You never want to touch me when you get home.", Magenta yelled.
"I am exhausted.", Nicole responded.
"You don't think we all are, Nikki.", Magenta retorted.
"Magic...", Nicole tried to remain calm.
"Don't call me that!", Magenta snapped.
"Look I have an important job.", Nicole snapped back.
"Oh yes, Madame President. You are doing a hell of a job there. The colony burns while Nero fiddles.", Magenta snapped.
"F... you, Magenta.", Nicole slashed back.
Nicole headed upstairs.
"Go upstairs then. Perfect. You are never around when anyone needs you anyway. You are off with Viceroy or with Hunt. You may think you are a lesbian, Nicole but you prefer the company of men. You are only with me because you think its cool and original.", Magenta yelled.
Nicole took a sonic shower. No shower in the universe was gonna burn those words from her soul. Nicole put on a white tank top and a cammo cap and headed out for a run. She needed to burn off some energy or she too was gonna lash out at Magenta.
About an hour later, the replicators came back on. Magenta prepared Brenna some mac and cheese. Kids, even in 2389, still love the mac and cheese. Magenta went upstairs and she too dressed in the running wear - white tank and cammo hat.
"Where are you going?", Brenna asked.
"To find your mother.", Magenta responded, now much calmer.
Nicole was sitting on a stump near the edge of Little Lakaria Park when Magenta caught up to her. Nicole was still breathing heavy from her run when Magenta slid in behind her on the stump.
Without even speaking and with great precision, Magenta slid Nicole's bra out her sleave.
"I am sorry, Nikki. I am just tired of all this chaos.", Magenta responded.
"I am tired of all this too.", Nicole frowned.
Magenta slid her hand into Nicole's tank top, "And you can call me Magic if you want to."
"If you keep that up, you will certainly be magical...", Nicole giggled.
The pair were a little late getting back to see Brenna but she did not care much as they came in holding hands. Every child wants their parents to be happy.
