Pokemon and Pain recovery 2: electric boogaloo

Natalia pouted as she saw her friend start to cry. It was clear that Adrian was still in deep emotional distress.; so Natalia laid on the bed besides Adrian and gently rubbed her back in circles with one hand trying to confort her. "ohh don't cry, Adrian-chan..." the blue-eyed cutie said sweetly. "Everybody is a little crazy... I'm probably way crazier than you... I was just saying you need to calm down..."

"Nobody hates you or is scared of you..." Natalia added leaning over to kiss Adrian's head. "OK...maybe Taylor hates you... But every body hates Taylor so who cares..." Natalia then reached for a Pikachu plush toy she had on her bed and pressed it against the side of Adrian's face as if giving her a kiss. "Here... Pikachu wuvs you..." she said.

"And don't worry about Becks... I'll call her and tell her...something..." Natalia said as she tried to think of a good lie to tell Rebecca. "She is your friend...and honestly... I think she would follow you to the gates of hell if necesary..."

Adrian turned her head to the side, listening to what Nat said as the dream tried to calm Adrian down. "Everyone's crazy?" She asked weakly before the Pikachu plushie kissed her; wrapping her arms around the cute doll before rolling onto her back, at least plushies would never hurt her like people could.

Then Natalia started to talk about Rebecca and what smile she got from playing with Pikachu vanished as she was lost in thought. How well did she know her best friend? Really? They'd been together for about 8 years through school and wrestling and yet... the Amazon kept herself... somewhat secretive. She knew bits and bits about her but since she was often so stoic... it was difficult to judge. And in her state it was best to just hold onto Pikachu until she was ready to talk about it.

Natalia laid on the bed besides Adrian and slid an arm around her friend, trying to bring the cosplayer's head to her shoulder to cuddle with her and pikachu. "Sanity is a cozy lie..." The Dream said, holding Adrian close to her caressing her head and back. "Sanity is only a measure of how adapted you are to conventional thought... And nobody with a mind of her own is fully adapted.." the blue-eyed cutie said trying to confort her friend.

Adrian didn't really understand much of what Natalia was saying, she wasn't up for psychology or sociology or whatever it was, all she knew right now is that even with her losing it and being unable to hold a stable emotional pattern, Natalia was still there cuddling her. As was the plushie.

"Thanks Nat..." She said... "So what are we gonna tell Becks. We tell her who did this and well... I just don't want to see Taylor ever again. I don't care if Rebecca beats her up or not I just don't want to hear of her and well... if we tell her, even without the crazy, she'll go straight to Taylor and I don't want it started up again."

"Then we won't tell her." Natalia said while she held Adrian. The Dream understood very well what her friend feared. The last thing Adrian needed was this mess to get bigger."She never sees the AFW matches anyway...and since won you don't have to tell her how bad you got beat." She added patting softly her friend. "You can stay here while you recover... And... We'll say we are going to a pokèmon tournament or something so you don't have to go back to your apartment..."

"But then she'll be mad I went to a pokemon tourney without her... I know she doesn't look it but seriously, she can be as much as a nerd as me... but yeah, that could work. And Cec would probably buy it..." Adrian said, rubbing back against Natalia "Still have to explain why my hand's in a bandage though..."

"Oh yeah!" She suddenly picked up, her head shooting up, narrowly missing headbutting the dream by accident. "You haven't met Cec have you? We kinda became friends after I kicked her ass and made her tap, and she has her own penthouse too which is awesome... and she's..." the cosplayer paused. Was it really a good idea to tell Natalia about her plans to take down the Gatt Attack with Cecilia and Rebecca? Probably not "sparring a lot with Rebecca so they're cool. Also she let's me crash at her place so I'm not squeezed so tightly against Becks... not that it's a bad place to be, just not while I'm you know... still haven't told her that I think she's... you know. Anyway! You have to meet her sometime, seriously."

"Mmmm...I see... Well... We can tell Becks that you are going to... accompany me to visit some family...or something..." Natalia said still trying to think a good excuse.

"Cec?" Natalia asked having trouble following all of what Adrian was saying. "So you befriended her after making her tap out?" the blue-eyed cutie covered her mouth to giggle. "And you still complain about nobody liking you... hehehe... And wow... Never thought of you as a submissionist. Is she any good? Well...Sparring with Rebecca must be tough... So she must be at least that..."

Listening to Natalia say it made it seem all the more silly, but it was kinda what happened. "Well... maybe what Akashi said about friending the crap out of someone was right or something I dunno: had a match, had a drink Without a bar brawl! Take that narrative causality and now we're friends." Adrian tried to explain

"And I am good at submissions! Mostly armbars... but still, I'm pretty good at them!" She boasted "Probably not as good as you but they're there to take the bigger girls down to where they're less likely to throw me around like a rag doll. And yeah, she's more than pretty tough. Not sure who would win between the two of you but... I don't really want to find the answer...k?" She asked, trying to prevent any fights before they started "Also owe her a re-match too..."

"So... we're here for a week?" Adrian suggested, moving her hand around "We've got tonight sorted but what do we do for the rest of it? Cuddle?"

With a ittle struggle, Natalia managed to control her competitive nature. That Adrian said she didn't knew who would win between her and Cec only made her want to fight Adrian's friend, but this certainly wasn't the time for that.

"And here I was thinking I needed to teach you about submissions..." The Dream said giggling.

"Oh well... I don't know what to do... But what ever it is, it must include you in bed....resting. So what do you suggest? Anything you'll like?... Movies?... Games?... Read?" Natalia said trying to think things Adrian could do without much effort.

"Well..." Adrian thought about what to do, pretty much stuck in Natalia's apartment in a strange place of Tokyo, she didn't even knew how she got here "All of those sound nice..." she said, holding onto the Pikachu plushie "But I can't eat too much... or I'll get fat." she lamented. She didn't want to admit that Taylor's taunts even before her craziness sat in had effected her but she did feel a little chubby, she was 5'8" 135lb. Natalia was the same height but was 5 pounds lighter and had a better rack and a bigger ass. She didn't know where she had the extra weight but someone with her highflying skills should probably be a bit smaller.

"Still... what to do... need to kill large portions of my week... do you have Minecraft?" She asked.
