Chapter 53: Tiger and Demon
It's been a day since team Phantom met Frostbite and his people as well as using the infamap for the first time.
Here we see (F/N) coming home with some groceries as we see Sienna is on the couch watching TV.
Sienna: Hey sweetie.
(F/N): Hey hun, hold down the fort?
Sienna: Yep, it was a bit dull with you and the others. And remind me, where are they?
(F/N): *From the kitchen while putting the groceries away* Well Paulina is spending time with her mom for two days to make up for lost mother daughter time and Kitty is hanging out with Ember and Spectra. *comes into the living room* Just hope they don't cause too much trouble, I told them they can have fun but not too much.
Sienna: *Chuckles* Wow, you almost sound like a mom.
(F/N): Yeah well someone has to be responsible here and I feel like it could be anyone, but mostly me.
Sienna: Makes sense to me.
(F/N): Yeah, so how do you feel now that you're on a different planet?
Sienna: Well living on Earth is very different from Remnant, and I don't really know the area since I grew up on an island.
(F/N): Really?
Sienna: Yep, humans and faunus don't exactly see eye to eye.
(F/N): I could tell, it's just like pn Earth, except instead of faunus, people were discriminated against other people because of what their skin tone was.
Sienna: Why?
(F/N): Well it's how people are on Earth, they
discriminate based on skin tone due to deeply ingrained social and historical factors. Skin tone has been used as a basis for discrimination for centuries, rooted in systems of power, privilege, and societal hierarchies. This discrimination, known as colorism or racism, stems from the belief that lighter skin is superior and associated with higher social status, beauty, and intelligence. Such biases can be perpetuated by cultural norms, media representation, and personal biases passed down through generations. Overcoming this discrimination requires education, awareness, and active efforts to challenge and dismantle these harmful beliefs and practices.
Sienna: Goodness, I didn't know you knew so much.
(F/N): Me neither, but that's just what I think is why people do this. And I'm guessing it's the same on Remnant?
Sienna: Unfortunately yes, humans see faunus as monsters, criminals, and yes, freaks, but it's like you said, it's how they are.
(F/N): Yeah, but your none lf those things, I think people on Remnant are just afraid because they never really get to know faunus.
Sienna: Really? You don't see me as a… monster?
(F/N): No way, you're beautiful the way you are, plus you're talking to someone who's the descendant of a demon knight who turned against his own kind.
Sienna: *Blushes* Ohh, heh, thanks sweetie.
(F/N): Anytime. So wanna go to Nasty Burger?
Sienna: Nasty…Burger?
(F/N): Oh don't let the name fool you, they're food is actually really good.
Sienna: Hm, well okay. Oh this counts as our first official date.
(F/N): I guess it does.
We later see the two girls at Nasty Burger where we see Sienna eating several burgers as (F/N) could only watch in amusement.
(F/N): So enjoying those burgers?
Sienna: *While eating* Mmm, this is amazing! The misleading title doesn't make sense, but the food is amazing.
(F/N): Yeah, that's what I thought too. Even though the slogan is misleading, the food is amazing.
Sienna: *While eating* It is, it truly is!
Sienna then noticed that everyone was staring at her as she saw the looks she was getting.
Sienna: What is everyone looking at?
Little Girl: Mommy, why does that lady have cat ears?
Mother: I don't know sweetie, she's probably a cosplayer.
Sienna: What? I'm not a-
(F/N): Cosplayer, yeah, that's what she is. *Whispers to Sienna* People here don't know what a faunus is, so for now we'll say your ears are part of a costume mishap.
Sienna: *Whispers back* Understood sweetie. *Outloud* Do not be alarmed by my realistic cat ears, they are only fake and I have suffered a costume mishap.
Everyone believed it as they went back to what they were doing.
(F/N): Huh, neat, they actually believed it.
Sienna: So it looks like humans believe anything here?
(F/N): Yeah, that's humans for you.
Just then we see the trio come in as they spot (F/N) and Sienna eating as Sam sees this and immediately smiles, thinking (F/N) dumped Paulina.
Danny: Hey (F/N).
(F/N): Oh hey Danny and others what's up?
Tucker: Nothing much, who's your new friend?
(F/N): Oh right, guess you three didn't get proper introductions, Danny, Sam, and Tucker meet Sienna Khan.
Sienna: Former leader of the White Fang, nice to meet you there.
(F/N): And my girlfriend.
Trio: What?!
Tucker: Girlfriend? Her?
Danny: Seriously??
Sam: Congrats (F/N), I'm proud of you, you dumped Paulina and for her, not bad.
(F/N): Dumped? What are you talking about?
Sam: You dumped Paulina, or are you cheating on her.
Sienna: Uh, no she is not.
This irked Sam a bit, what do you mean she didn't dump Paulina.
Sam: What are you talking about? You two are going out and not with Paulina.
(F/N): Well… about that, you see me and Paulina were talking and we decided to have an open relationship.
The trio and most of the people were shocked to hear that the resident hometown demon girl is dating not one, but two girls.
Trio: What?!
Sam: So, you and Paulina are-
(F/N): Still together and happy? Yep, we just agreed to have an open relationship in case a girl ever fell for me. Plus she doesn't mind sharing but she is in charge of the group.
Tucker: Wow, two girls, what's your secret?
(F/N): Well if I told you it wouldn't be a secret.
Danny: So where's Paulina?
(F/N): Spending time with her mom to make up for lost mother daughter time.
Danny: Gotcha.
Sienna: *to Danny* *Whispers* So you are the ghost boy, (F/N) told me about?
The trio was shocked to hear that Sienna knew Danny was half ghost.
Danny: How did you-
Sienna: (F/N) told me.
(F/N): *Sees the looks she's getting* What? She's my second girlfriend, I had to tell her, plus come on anyone would figure out Danny's secret identity by now.
Tucker: She's not wrong.
We later see everyone eating and talking about, Sam was especially pissed that (F/N) didn't dump Paulina but she didn't want to say her thoughts out loud knowing she might tick (F/N) and Sienna off.
Sam: Soo… how long have the two of you known each other?
(F/N): Ever since I went devil arm hunting on Remnant Sienna and I really hit it off.
Sam: Seriously? You and her?
Sienna: Yes, why is that so hard to understand?
Sam: W-well it's just-
Sienna: Just what? My age? My looks?
Sam: No, no it's uh, um… w-well…
Sienna: We love each other because we have mutual respect and feelings for each other. The same love (F/N) feels for Sienna.
(F/N): It's true, I love both Sienna and Paulina equally.
Danny: Well I gotta say congrats you two.
Tucker: Yeah, not bad (F/N).
Sam: But-but she's a terrorist.
Sienna: Was a terrorist. On Remnant, people saw me as a monster, but here, I can be whoever I want to be, *holds (F/N)'s hand* and be who I want to be. (F/N) showed me that I can't be afraid for the rest of my life, and she saved me from being killed when Adam tried to seize control of the White Fang.
Danny: Adam?
(F/N): Sienna's former right hand, I fought him and he turned into a devil arm.
Sam: But- how can you two love each, she's evil!
Sienna: Was evil, I've changed and if you're too stubborn to see that then you're no better than Adam was. *To (F/N)* I can see why you dislike her so much.
(F/N): Yeah, that's Sam for ya, sometimes she's good, and other times she's a pain in the ass.
Sam: Hey!
Danny: Sam come on, if (F/N) says Sienna's gone good that's enough for me.
Tucker: Yeah she's okay in my book, *sees the pile of burger wrappers next to her* Geez, how many burgers did you eat?
Sienna: Um, a couple? *Sees the unamused looks she's getting* They were good burgers okay?! *Pouts*
(F/N): *Chuckles* *Hugs Sienna* And no one blames you for eating that many burgers, seriously you should see the amount of burgers Tucker eats.
Sienna: *Kisses (F/N)* Thank you sweetie, at least some people understand the needs of a lady. Oh uh, where are my manners, *offers a burger to Sam* Want one?
Sam: Uh thanks but I'm an ultra recyclo vegetarian.
Sienna: Ultra recyclo what?
(F/N): It's fancy talk for she's vegan.
Sienna: Ohh, but not just say your vegan?
Sam: Because it's too mainstream.
Danny: She has a thing against anything mainstream.
Sienna: I see, but won't it be easier just to say you're vegan instead of using the pretentious sounding word that's clearly made up to sound like you're superior to other people when clearly you're afraid to try to fit in? And clearly your stubbornness has clearly gotten you trouble but your afraid to face the consequences of your actions and you don't rethink your plans.
To say that Sam was shocked was an understatement, and Tucker and Danny were surprised by Sienna's blunt response to Sam's made up vegan term, and (F/N) was actually proud of her.
(F/N): Yeah, seriously Sam, wouldn't it be easier just to say your vegan instead of using that made up bs?
Sam: Wha- I- you…!
Tucker: Wow, you got her speechless. I'm impressed.
Sienna: Well someone had to hit her with reality.
(F/N): Yeah seriously, the world doesn't revolve around you Sam. It's no wonder your only friends are Danny and Tucker. *To Danny and Tucker* No offense.
Danny and Tucker: None taken.
(F/N) then notices that the sun is going down and Paulina, Kitty, and Shadow would be home soon.
(F/N): Come on sweetie, let's grab a to-go bag and go home.
Sienna: Oh yeah, it's getting late. It was nice meeting you three, *looks at Sam* Well most of you.
We then see (F/N) and Sienna leave the restaurant as Sienna had two bags of burgers with her as she and (F/N) left the restaurant leaving the trio and Sam, the same confident goth girl, who is still in shock.
Tucker: So that happened.
Danny: Yeah, Sam you okay? *Doesn't get response* Sam? Sam?? Hey!
Sam: *Snaps out of it* Gah! Ah! What?
Danny: You okay?
Sam: I- y-yeah I'm fine…
Tucker: Did what Sienna said get to you that much?
Sam: Wh-what? Pfft n-no of course not, no way.
Danny: Hm, well okay then. But they are kind right.
Sam: No they're not!
Later that night we see (F/N) and Sienna come home as they see Paulina and Shadow along witj Kitty watching TV.
(F/N): Hey girls.
Paulina and Kitty: Hey (F/N).
Paulina: How was your date?
Sienna: It was amazing! We went to Nasty Burger, then to the carnival where I won this, *shows them the stuffed toy tiger* And all I had to do was knock over some milk bottles with a ball.
Kitty: Sienna those kinds of games are always rigged.
(F/N): And by "knock over" she means she completely decimated the wall.
Kitty: You mean she…
(F/N): Yep.
Kitty: Wow, not bad Sienna, serves those carnie people right.
(F/N): So sweetie, how was mother daughter day.
Paulina: Pretty fun, mom and I went to the salon where we got our nails done and we ate at a fancy restaurant, though the food was on the small side. And mama insisted I go with her again, tomorrow.
Kitty: Again?
Paulina: She's making up for lost time. And thinks two days of mother daughter time should do it.
Kitty: Makes sense, if my mom left me she'd do the same. *Yawns*.
(F/N): How about we all call it a night? Sound good?
Girls: Yep.
We then see (F/N) and the rest of the girls go to bed as the camera fades to black.
Next: Chapter 54: Lucky Date.
