Home Sick
story
ash is sick. regan stays home to watch him. he crashes out asleep, so she puts on The Bachelor.
??? maybe she absent mindedly rubs him, which he responds to, and leads to her rubbing him off as she watches TV
The opening recap rolled.
--- recap ----
down to 5 suitors, Bachelor Lawson went on a group date picnic (fast clip of red and white checkered blankets in a large green field) spent couples time with Xena (curly, scientist,trim) and Sky (blonde, rich/finance, stacked)...vs Susan (brunette, hardbody), Sylva (athletic), Cheri (dyed blond, trim) and accepted Sky's (ex jenny poussin pic pic pic) private date on a 200' yacht, where they snorkeled, jetski, and she wined and dined him before he accepted a glimmer in the hottub under a starry night sky
clip of them arriving in a flashy sports car, both in beachwear (sundress covered bikini)
clip of her slipping the sundress off, showing off her suit, a fully loaded stick hanging from her hip
clip of them riding jetskis
clip of her kneeling, drying him off and teasing him
clip of them in the hottub at night, her stripping naked (have fun today? marry me, and you can play with the best toys money can buy)
meanwhile, at the mansion, Xena raged at Sky, ('you think your money can buy you anything, but you can't buy Lawson!' ) Xena threw one of Sky's expensive handbags across the room.
????
maybe regan comments on Sky being her doppleganger with money
maybe they argue about whether Sky meant she was reshaped.
Ash looked over to see Luna and Addison had obviously broken the ice, snuggling into each other almost like a couple. He looked at the glimmer stick, wondering why he was still holding it, wondering what he was resisting. Even Addison didn't think it was a terrible idea. On a whim, he licked the blue tip. Several seconds later he didn't feel anything, so he briefly sucked it, turning more of it blue. Regan takes it away from him, 'im sure you got plenty'.

--- show moments:
elimination - monologue how each of them are holding envelopes which may contain their invite to stay. they each open, and Xena's is empty. Bachelor says goodbye to her, she warns him about Sky, 'i really care for you. watch out for sky, she'll just turn you into a glimmer whore'
group-date - kayaking in a raging 57-deg class-5 rapid (showing how little ascended are afraid of difficulty). he's in a wetsuit, while they are in sporty two pieces. he chooses to ride with sylva, because he feels safest with her athletic competence, pissing off sky. / heckling, innuendo, pea-cocking / competitive behavior. / leads to Sky crashing, cracking her kayak, easily swimming out, blaming it on the other girls.
couple moments - aside in the forest
cut to him walking through the forest with sylva (pic) -- narrator explains sylva was automatic, and he chose susan for his other couple-time.
cut to him on a rock, sylva sitting on a mat on the ground below him - were you glad you chose me? / absolutely. that cold water may not bother you, but I had no interest in landing in it, or crashing into those rocks. i felt totally safe with you out there. (touching) so why should i pick you, and what would our date be? / our date would start with a motorcycle track day at laguna seca in monterey, you riding w/me of course. when you'd had enough time squeezed between me and the hard metal of the bike, we'd limo to our hotel, shower up, dine over sunset, and then retire to our room early. you should pick me, because i know when to play it safe, and when not to. (suggestive behavior)
cut to susan walking up. her appearance hot, like she was sunning on the strip. she had been the only one to wear a sport bando over a bikini, and her bando was off. / he comments on her good looks, as she gives him a quick check-to-cheek kiss-kiss greeting, before kneeling on the mat, and taking his hand. so. i'm *really* glad you picked me. showing off for you out there has me all hot and bothered.
private date - (sylva) - who doesnt press him at all
-- show outcome?
it's going to be down to Sky (money, tits, and glitz), and Sylva (adrenalin junkie, alpha,
regan starts asking luna questions (since she didn't go to lunch with her), which are innocuous at first... when they get too personal, luna/addy accuses her (what is this, the bachelor?)... and regan starts gushing about how she wants to watch the new episode
tell me something you like better -> shopping! so many cool clothes, and they fit her.
what did you do last night while he was sleeping? -> watched him sleep. (cute smiles) read.
how about you ash?
how much sleep did you get last night? -> not much
tell me something you like better -> "ohh, kissing" (he lets out in a gasp, before he realized it probably wasn't the best thing to admit to regan)
??
todo: addy needs to say something!!!
speak up about the glimmer stick being a bad idea
speak up about how lightly luna should load the glimmer stick
encourage the plan once she knows she gets to snuggle with luna
regan laughed. you're probably the only man to be glimmered for the first time at age 23. Most try it on their 18th birthday. Feels good to get a little extra cortisol, doesn't it? I have something you're really going to love." regan got up, shuffled through her bag, and pulled her hand out brandishing an unloaded white glimmer stick. "Tell you what, I was thinking we would all curl up and watch some of The Bachelor.
"How about we have Luna soak this." Regan handed the stick over to Luna, who inspected it curiously. She'd never handled one before. It seemed much smaller than she expected, especially the stick inside, which looked like a teeny thin white pop-sickle. Ash had to admit he was curious too. Most of what he knew was from seeing them on TV. Supposedly they were a slower, controlled way to experience the glimmer -- certainly compared to the rush of kissing. He was ready to sign up, until Regan exposed the rest of her plan. "Then, you can taste her while you're sitting with me."
"Wait! What!?" Suddenly his voice was agitated and screechy. "Who says I'm sitting with you! I want to sit with my wife!" He looked to his wife, just as she and Addison burst out laughing.
"Ohh Ash," Luna rubbed a hand across the back of his shoulders. "You know how Regan likes to pretend you're her little bachelor. We can't change everything just because I ascended. Plus, I've had you all to myself for three days. Go sit with her. I'm sure Addison will still snuggle with me even though I'm not tiny."
"Ohh I think we can figure something out," Addison steps around behind Luna, softening her resolve with a little shoulder massage.
As Ash got past his initial reaction, he realized Luna was right. This little ritual was some of the more enjoyable time he spent with Regan. She didn't have any time to tease him while watching the show. Plus, In the dim the lights, with Luna snuggling into Addison, he didn't feel so self conscious hugging up against Regan's outrageous body.
Across From him, Regan stood, locked eyes, and smiled, "you heard her, bachelor." She wasted no time at all stepping around the table and hoisting Ash onto her hip. For the second time that night he found himself hugged up against her equally alluring and intimidating chest.
Meanwhile, Luna had uncapped the glimmer stick, and tentatively touched the little end to her tongue. The barest bit of it turned blue. When she'd seen them used on TV, the woman would dip the whole thing into her mouth, but she wasn't sure if she, or Ash, were ready for that. She looked to Regan for approval, "is that enough?"
"The saliva dries, so it's not nearly as potent as direct contact. Give it a good, wet, lick." Luna gathered some saliva on her tongue, and did as she was told, turning a good amount of the little stick blue. Then she replaced the cap, and handed it over to Ash, not at all sure this was a good idea.
--- addison pipes up about how ash should go easy at first, until he knows how fast it comes out. and don't worry, you have you're wife and i both watching out for you.
"Alright ladies," Regan triumphantly declared, setting off for a bank of switches on the wall, "time to set the mood." As she dimmed the room, Addison worked the TV remote, pulling up the latest episode on the DVR.
After a few moments of setup routine, Luna and Addison sat awkwardly on one side of the couch, while Regan and Ash were settling in on the other. Instead of putting him in her lap, Regan had him under her wing, an arm nustling him into her side-body, her left breast bumping into his forehead.
