((Yes, I deserve to be bricked for the title.. the Devil made me do it.))
It was a typical winter day at Audio Headquarters. Snow covered the ground, lending the scenery a glittering, diamond-like quality. In short, it was a damn near perfect day to go out and have some fun.
Bubble Yum hopped about in place, grinning happily as she eyed the frost covered world outside the window.
"C'monc'monc'mon! I wanna go play noooowwww!" the young female whined softly, waiting for her companion to get the lead out. "Hurry up up up!"
Brushing a strand of blonde hair from her eyes, Namine sighed and finished wrapping a scarf around her throat. Cold preparations complete, she eyed the younger female and tossed a bobble hat and scarf her way.
"You're not going outside until you're a little better dressed for cold, kiddo. A few more minutes wait won't kill you."

((*sending orders* <_<()()() )))  "O-o-okay...m-maybe this w-w-wasn't s-such a g-g-good idea..." Demy wrapped shivering arms around himself, trying desperately to warm himself. Despite the effort, his chest was still freezing cold. Fishnet simply wasn't a very warming fabric. Now, one would call him an absolute IDIOT for wandering around like this.... ...and in reality he probably was. But, see, someone would take pity on him quickly! And then he could stop wandering around in the cold and probably get something warm to eat or drink...mmm And maybe find another method of warming himself up.... Like, who could resist him? He was Demy Stardust! People fell at his feet just BEGGING for his attention. Anyone would take pity on him and offer him a chance to get warm! ....Right, that's what he said an hour ago, and still he was stuck out in the snow. The cold was reaching that point of utterly unbearable, and the rockstar needed to get warm -now-.

Once they were both dressed to Namine's standards for warmth, the little blonde smiled at her companion and opened the door.
"Okay, kiddo, now we can play."
With a grin, Bubble Yum gave a mighty bound out the door and poinged through the snow, purring loud enough to resemble a motorboat.
"YAAAAAYYYYYYYYY!"
Meanwhile, walking towards the house was a male audio strolling along in t-shirt and jeans, with his coat slung over one shoulder. Now, truth be told, the cold didn't much bother Wintermute. If it got too bad, why, that's what the jacket was for. Chomping contentedly on a cigar that threw off a stench reminiscent of cat piss mixed with wet and disease ridden camel, he ambled along. After a few moments, he heard some muttering and followed the noise to its source. A male with questionable fashion sense. For a moment, Wintermute paused, then he stepped forward and held the jacket out.
"Jeez, kid. What's your story. Girlfriend toss ya out into the cold or something? Wanna borrow my coat for a bit? Cold ain't much botherin' me."

Demy visibly jumped, the shivering little Audio whirling around to see who had finally decided to approach him. "Err....n-not r-r-really?"Right, girlfriend tossing him in the cold...nah, that wasn't the story. Truth be told, Demy just hadn't been the same since the breakup of the Oreos, both emotionally and well...financially. But hell if he'd ever actually TELL anyone that. It'd soooo screw with his awesome rocker image, and no WAY would he mess that up. Demy gratefully took the offered jacket, the guitarist wrapping up in it with a purr. "T-t-thanks..."

"Not really, huh?" Wintermute shrugged and watched the younger male carefully. "Well, if freezin' yer a** off is what gets ya off, more power to you, I guess."
Finding a nearby tree to lean his back against, the black-haired audio puffed on his cigar before blowing out a noxious cloud of smoke.
Not too far off from the two males, Namine and Bubble Yum's happy chattering voices could be heard. Raising an eyebrow, Wintermute threw a sly grin at the other male.
"So, your girl didn't toss ya out, right? I'm startin' to wonder now if, just maybe, you were out here hopin' fer a bit of female sympathy."

"Hrmph, I d-d-don't belong to anyone, so n-n-no my girl didn't t-t-toss me out..."Others would say that the leash said otherwise of him, but it was true. Demy considered himself a wanderer...at least as far as bedroom experiences went. Settle down with one Audio? AS IF! There were so many..mmm...possibilities to explore. It was impossible to choose just one. Demy made a face at the smell of smoke before coughing a bit before continuing the talk. "And m-maybe..."The youth gave his own sly grin. So what if the other male had called his game? He wasn't ashamed...it was a GENIUS idea afterall! Snuggling the jacket a moment longer, Demy took it off and tossed it back to the male with a "Thanks". He couldn't be caught by the females with it on now could he?

Catching the jacket, Wintermute let out a bark of laughter before hanging the jacket from a branch. Taking what was left of the cigar and tossing it into the snow. Then, crossing his arms over his chest, he leaned back and simply watched, that same slyly amused smirk on his face.
"I'm guessin' the snowbunnies'll be here in a coupla minutes. Sorta curious about which of us can get more attention. Granted, that's an outstandin' case of frostbite developin' on ya, so you'll get some sympathy votes. But everyone knows snowbunnies prefer rugged guys."
Wintermute tapped the side of his muzzle and winked.
"Up for a little wager, twinkletoes?"

"Pft, everyone knows c-c-chicks d-dig r-rockstars. If you t-think you can keep up with me, then a w-wager it is."Demy fidgeted around in the snow, silently willing the girls to hurry the hell up. It was DAMNCOLD out here.

"Oh, is that what yer supposed to be? I thought you just had lousy taste in clothin'"
Wintermute grinned and carefully his his jacket. It wouldn't do for any girls to see him with one and Sparky there without. He could always retrieve it later.
"Hurry up, Namine! I wanna snowball fight and make snow angels and snowmen!"
Bubble Yum bounded ahead, oblivious to everything except having fun. As she turned her head to yell back at Namine some more, she hurtled straight into someone in the path.
"Eek! Owwwww... Sorry..."

"I AM one..."The youth hissed his reply, shooting Wintermute a rather dangerous looking glare right before Bubble Yum plowed into him. Giving a startled yelp, Demy stumbled back a few steps but managed to remain standing up. "It's o-okay...."Demy gave his best charming smile to the little energetic Audio. "H-having f-fun?"Right, the conversation was innocent enough. Now he could only hope the other female was like....older. At least a BIT older.

Wintermute's response to the glare was to make a kissy face and bat his eyes at the other male. He would have done more had a little female not appeared. He held hsi breath for a moment as she ploed into the rock star, only letting it out when he saw that Demy had remained standing and the little female didn't seem hurt. Still.
"Hey kiddo," he spoke softly as he stepped forward, "you okay there? For that matter," he glanced up at Demy, "are you okay?"
Bubble Yum sat on the ground, shaking her head somewhat dazedly. She smiled an apology at the one she'd run into, then turned to smile at the funny smelling male who was crouched by her.
"Yeeheeheee! Sorry I ran into you, Mister. And I'm okay. I think." she giggled slightly and rubbed at her skull.
At that point, Namine rushed in, making a beeline for the younger female and scolding all the while.
"Oh jeez, kiddo, you all right? When are you gonna learnt to watch where you're going?"
It was only after readjusting Bubble Yum's hat and scarf did Namien notice that she had something of a mini audience. Tucking a strand of hair back behind her ear, she smiled lopsided;y.
"Umm... hi?"

"I'm f-f-fine"Demy replied to Wintermute, but was sure to keep his gaze focused on Bubble Yum. At least, that was, until Namine came around. "Well h-hello t-there!"The youth purred at Namine, givign Bubble Yum an affectionate pat on the head before straightening back up so he could better look at Namine. "And just w-w-what are two l-lovely ladies s-such as you doing out in the c-c-cold?"

Bubble Yum churred happily at the pat before craning her head back to get a better look at the male she'd run into.
"Why are you talking funny? And why ya turning blue and shivering? Your friend isn't blue..."
Suddenly losing all interest in Demy, she focused her attention on Wintermute, smiling and clambering up his back until she could rest her chin on his shoulder and her forepaw on the top of his head.
"You smell funny, but I like you. You look more cuddable than him. Whatcher name? I'm Bubble Yum. Wanna be friends? Huh huh huh?"
Wintermute nodded at Demy as if to say, 'So long as no one's hurt.' He opened his mouth to speak to the little blonde whio'd appeared when the younger female climbed his back and perched there. Laughing softly and standing carefully to avoid sending Bubble Yum falling, he held out a hand to Namine.
"Name's Wintermute, ma'am. This your daughter?" he asked pleasantly before reaching back to ruffle Bubble Yum's fur. "I'm more cuddable, huh? Well thanks, kiddo."
Smiling at the two males, Namine shook Wintermute's paw before bursting into laughter at Bubble Yum's antics.
"Nice to meet you, Wintermute. No, I'm not her mother, I'm Namine. And you are...?" she asked, turning to Demy. "And for that matter, what are you two doing out in the cold? Neither of you looks like you should be playing in the snow."

The youth grumbled as Wintermute gained the attention of both females. Man, what the hell was up with them? He was a STAR! They should be begging at his feet for his attention! No matter, he'd earn it soon enough. "D-demy S-s-stardust is my name, leader of the Electric O-oreos..."Nevermind the fact that the band was, for the moment, broken up. No reason to share that info now was there? "And I'm n-not used to cold like t-this, so I wasn't too p-prepared....g-guess I'll learn for n-next time, e-eh?"Demy gave her a sheepish grin. Cmooooon sympathy points! Make Demy a winner!

Bubble Yum giggled and stared at Demy from her perch on Wintermute's back.
"You can borrow my hat and scarf. I don' like 'em. They're itchy."
"No," Namine replied. "You keep those one, Bubble. He can borrow my scarf until we get back to the house."
So saying, she unwrapped her scarf and handed it to Demy with a smile.
"Electric Oreos, huh? Can't say I've ever heard of them. What sort of music do you play?"
Behind them, Wintermute nearly began to choke with laughter at Namine's remark about never hearing of the band. Turnign his head slightly to notice Bubble Yum's slightly crestfallen expression, he smiled and whispered back at her, "You and I can share your scarf, kiddo. How's that?"
Damn the wager, he thought. At this point, he'd already won a moral victory thanks to Namine's blissful ignorance. Time to focus on making the kid perched on his back enjoy her snow day.
