Lips meet, sheets wrapped around joined souls, and the two very happy people were engaged in a passionate welcome-home make-out session.

“Let’s get these clothes off of you, bard!” Xena urged her soulmate as they tussled around the floor.

“30 minutes and I thought you would never ask!” the bard giggled as she threw her unwanted garments on the floor and rejoined Xena nude.

A knock on the door interrupted the party. “Hey! We got to have a feast for our favorite warrior and bard!” Virgil exclaimed impatiently from behind closed doors.

“We’ll be there in a minute!” Gabrielle replied.

“He always knows how to ruin a girl’s good time…” Xena complained, watching the bard urgently throw her clothes back on.

“Let’s just eat and hang out with everyone, then I will us a private spot. Agreed?” Gabrielle asked her partner, tossing the warrior her clothes.

“All right…but you owe me one bard.” Xena muttered angrily as she followed Gabrielle out the door.

“I’ll make sure you enjoy it.” The warrior’s soulmate whispered naughtily in Xena’s ear.

Delightful smells met the warrior and her companion’s nose as they entered the kitchen. Bacon, eggs, and sausage mixed with fish and chips, just how my mother use to make it. Xena thought hungrily. Maybe this won’t be too bad…

It’s nice to not have to cook anything for once. The bard thought as she sat herself at the table, waiting to dig in.

“Well, it’s nice of you to join us, sweet peas.” Aphrodite giggled from a corner in the room.

Xena smiled, seating herself down next to Gabrielle. She had picked up the nearest piece of sausage and took a large bite.

“Well, it’s not Gabrielle’s cooking, but anything can taste great after being dead for about a week.” She remarked with a smile after she finally finished chewing her food.

“Thanks X!” Gabrielle replied, rubbing her partner’s leg secretly under the table.

The warrior shivered at the soft touch of her bard’s hands.

“Shall we?” Xena motioned her hands toward the table, signaling they should all dig in.

The bard nodded enthusiastically and joined Xena in finishing off the feast within 10 minutes.

“Where do you put it all, Gabrielle?” Virgil asked, amazed at the bard’s eating abilites.

“I don’t know, but I do know I have to let it all out.” Gabrielle replied.

Me too. Shall I join you?” Xena asked, winking behind the other’s backs.

“Sure.”

The two skipped merrily out of the house to find a place to “let it all out”

After searching for five minutes, Xena managed to find a nicely hidden sand cave.

“Perfect.” The bard said with a big, evil grin when the warrior showed her partner what she had found.

The two quickly helped each other get their clothes off, kissing madly in the process.

Gabrielle blushed uncomfortably just when the warrior’s stomach rumbled angrily.

“I think we need to ‘let it out.’” They both agreed, chuckling.

After using the bathroom, the two soulmates engaged in another passionate kiss.

“You’re going to give me my chakram…now that I’m back, right?” Xena asked randomly after an hour of love-making.

Gabrielle glanced up at Xena, that evil smile back on her lips

“I think there is something we can do with it first.”

“Does it have to do with what you owe me?” Xena asked, a curious look in her eye.

“Oh…that’s only part of it, my warrior princess.”
