Ch. 2: Let's get answers... and maybe gamble

The stay at the station didn't take all too long. I had the charges against Eris dropped and they let us go, and slapped a fine on me for 'misusing 911'.

It was an emergency at the time, assholes!

So, we left and had to walk fifteen blocks back to my place. It was a cold night, but nothing too cold. Nothing I couldn't handle at least. Eris was the same, just looking ahead and frowning. She seemed happy before, but she was slowly losing that. I decided to try and raise her spirits again.

"Whats up? You seem distant." She looked at me with her red eyes and frowned further, making me a little hesitant about even asking her a question.

Eris just stared at Chronos. She must have been giving him a harder look than she thought, so she eased up a bit. She had to keep his trust in order for her plan to work. If he was who she thought he was, then he was the only hope she had. She formed a smile and shrugged.

"It is nothing, really. Just... this is all so strange for me, being in this strange world? I don't know what to make of it." She sighed, looking up at all the tall buildings. I smiled and shrugged.

"Eh, it's not so bad. So, tell me about where you're from. You said... Equestria?" I asked. It sounded like some fairy crazy land. She just nodded.

"Yes. I was vying for control, but the Princess' Celestia and Luna put a stop to me. And my son? Oh, don't even get me started..." She hissed.

I couldn't believe someone as young as her was a mother. "I didn't peg you for a mother. How old are you? Twenty? Twenty-one?"

"4,269." She said as if it was nothing.

Ugh... Chris?

Yeah brain?

You, uh... you made out with a super milf.

Shut up, brain! What should I say to that?

Um... No clue. Say something nice?

That could work. Why didn't I think of that?

You did, dunce! I'm your brain?

Oh...

"You, uh, look great for your age." I assured. She scowled and looked herself over.

"Ugh, please! I'm stuck in this wretched form! I must look like a beast!" She groaned, kicking the dirt. I kinda chuckled at that. This girl was really strange and I couldn't help but... find it cute.

"NO! BAD THOUGHTS! LIV'S MY GIRL!"

"What's wrong?" She asked, seeing me clearly lost in pure thoughts. I just looked away, unable to fathom why I was feeling these things. It became impossible to ignore her when she wrapped her slender arm around my own. "Come on. I'm new around here. Show me the sights?"

It was late, probably around 11:30. I didn't know what to show her that late at night. But then I looked into those red and yellow orbs. They were so exotic, so... wanting. I couldn't say no to her.

"Alright, but we have to do it tomorrow. Nothing's open right now." I told her. She smiled deviously and dragged me down the road as fast as she could, the pitter-patter of her bare feet echoing off the buildings.

"Oh, come on! You're talking to the Goddess of chaos and discordance! I can go anywhere I want, and if I cause a little trouble, well, then Celestia help whoever is on the wrong end of it."

She lead me through the streets until we reached the Greektown Casino. "Hm... This place looks open. Praytell, what's a Casino?" She asked curiously.

"It's a place where people piss away there money on pointless betting." She dragged me up to the entrance. I stopped her cold.

"Whoa! We can't go in there dressed like this!" I said, gesturing to our outfits. We looked god awful in our pajamas. Eris tapped her chin and looked to a door that said staff only.

"Hmm. How adventurous are you?" She asked. Before I could answer, she was dragging me to the side of the building. I was surprised to see no security out here. "So, are you coming? Or are you chicken?"

She walked over to the door and went inside. I hesitated, but if she made it in, then so could I. I took a deep breath, hid my fear, and walked in.

The room was empty, and apparently a costume room. Eris had already changed into something... Wow is all that could describe it. She was wearing a silk, pure white Greek toga, made complete with the same color high heels and fishnets. "Oh...my..."

Okay, Liv's amazing and all, but COME ON!

Ehhh! I know! WHAT DO I DO?!

Dude, she's looking at you! Hey, dare you to stare at her tits!

What do I get if I win?

A boner!

Oup! looks like I already won!

FUCK!

Eris smiled and grabbed a golden apple from a fruit basket on a table. She spun it on her finger and looked over at me with those interesting and beautiful eyes. "It's not much, but I think it works." She twirled, revealing a pair of bright red panties. "Where?! Where did she get those!?

"Um... Yeah, I'll go find something to wear..." I walked off as fast as I could to the rack of suits on the other side of the room. I found one in my size, got changed and walked back out, and once again Eris made me catch my breath.

She was leaning on the back of a chair, her leg up on the back of it. She had done her white hair up in an up dew. She looked over to me as she bit into the golden fruit. Her smile was so infectious, so...

Hey, know you think she's bangin', but, Liv. Remember?

Eris sauntered over and laced her arm around my neck. She smiled, producing a hundred from my coat pocket. "Hm. Someone left their currency in here. So, the point of a casino is to just bet money on games?"

I nodded. "Yeah. You can also win if your lucky enough. But I never do." I grumbled, remembering all the cash I lost here. Eris led me out to the main floor. She looked a little taken aback by the size of the place and all the people, but she seemed to warm up to it pretty quickly. She just grabbed my arm and led me over to the first thing she saw. Craps.

Crap!

The man smiled at the table. "Good evening, sir. How much will you be betting?" Before I could say a thing, Eris place the hundred on the table.

"This." She said. A man came over and transferred my currency into a single chip.

The man raised a brow at the odd single hundred, but accepted anyways. "Alright, place your bet." I looked at Eris who smiled and put her hands on my shoulder, whispering in my ear.

"Six." She hissed.

"Six!" I repeated, my voice cracking a little. Eris leaned against me in a way that made her amazing tits rub against my arm. I was handed the dice and shook them in my hand. Before I threw, however, Eris grabbed my hand and blew on the dice.

"That's for luck..." She winked. I smiled and was about to ask how she knew to do that, but just left it to her oddity. I took a deep breath and rolled.

I watched the dice bounce once, twice, thrice, then settle. I smiled and looked from Eris, to the table. The dice had landed on six!

"Congratulations, sir!" He said, doubling my money. My smile was as large as my ego right now. I looked to Eris and hugged her.

"Holy shit, you're magic!" I said happily. She hugged back with one arm and leaned back, biting into the golden apple again.

"Hmm. I thought you didn't believe in magic." She mused. I tapped her nose and placed a double or nothing bet. I flashed her a grin, and she mouthed eight. I rolled the dice and, sure enough, we won again.

"I didn't believe in magic before, but you? Holy shit! Once is an anomaly, twice is a trend, or something like that." She leaned against me, which I gladly accepted at this point.

"You know, Chronos? Humans can be quite agreeable. Maybe I was wrong for wanting to eradicate them..." She chuckled. I thought she was joking so I laughed with her. "Now, how lucky are you feeling?"

We played almost every game of chance in the casino, winning every single time. And I'm not fucking kidding with that, no matter where we went we won!

Every

Single

Time.

We were surrounded by casino patrons who were cheering us on. We must have been the luckiest fucks they'd ever laid eyes on! We started out with a hundred, how much more did we make?

$19,200! And have you ever heard of people who cheat in casinos? Yeah, you can expect our luck was about to come to a grinding halt. I was about to place my bet in the poker game I was in, when a large hand clamped around my shoulder. I looked up to see the security enforcers standing over me.

"You two need to come with us." One of them said, hoisting my up and dragging me by the arms to the back, they did the same with Eris.

We were placed in a small room. "Oh fuck... We should have just left, Eris! They think we cheated and that's a punishable offense!"

Eris finally finished that golden apple and flicked the core across the room. "Oh, lighten up, Chronos! We did nothing wrong!"

I groaned and slumped into one of the chairs. "But they think we did something wrong! Ugh! Why does my luck suck this hard?!"

Eris smiled and snapped her fingers, bringing fourth another apple. Her magic was finally starting to work again! The chaos of this situation was feeding into her powers! She looked at my expression and smiled. "Magic!"

I was about to reply, but three men came walking in. Two were the guards from before, and the other must have been the owner of the Casino. He sat in front of me and frowned. I gulped and twitched in my seat.

"Counting cards is a crime, you know that?" He hissed. I was about to speak when Eris sauntered over, taking a delicate bite from her magically conjured fruit.

"We did nothing of the sort. This is my first time ever being at a casino, and I wouldn't even begin to fathom how to count cards." She held her hands up in honesty and winked at the owner.

I sighed and rubbed my temple. "Look, sir. We just had a very lucky night. That's all. I swear to god and on the life of my first born child, we did NOT count cards or cheat! I swear!"

The man stared at me long and hard. I sighed and gave up. "Look, for the trouble you think we caused, we'll give back half the money. Does that sound like something a cheater would do?"

The man frowned. "No. Then again, a cheater would want to keep some of the money he stole from me." His voice rose with each word, making me flinch. Eris smiled and put a hand on my shoulder.

"Baby, why don't you wait outside. I think it's time me and Mr..."

"Covarie"

"Mr. Covarie had a little chat. I'll be right. Out." She lingered those words in my ear as she kept her eyes on Mr. Covarie. He twitched and straitened his tie as I was ushered outside. Before I left the room, I heard Eris' high heels clicking across the tiled floor. Her words made it to my ears as the door closed. "Tell me, Mr. Covarie. Do you like apples?"

I waited outside the room for what seemed like an eternity before Eris walked out, a briefcase in her hand. She looked back in the room, then walked over to me. "Well?" I asked.

She patted the case and smiled. "You think I would just let him get away with swindling Chronos? No, he'll think twice before trying something that foolish again."

Without another word she walked off, leaving me to follow quickly in her footsteps. "How the hell did you convince him to let us keep the money?!" I gawked. Eris smiled and ran a hand across my cheek.

"Oh, the magic of the apple." She sang, spinning another golden fruit on her finger. I laughed and hugged her tight. She was insane to-

"Wait... what did your apple do, exactly?" I asked. She smiled deviously and walked out of the front door of the Casino, strutting up to the valet attendant.

"Be a dear and fetch me a ride?" She asked sweetly, pressing her bosoms together playfully. The young man gulped and shook his head.

"S-Sorry, ma'am. These cars belong to people. If you'd like I can call you a cab, and-" He stopped when she presented a card. I couldn't make out what it said, but it made the boy pale. "T-This is official."

Eris nodded and the boy ran towards the back of the building. I just stared at Eris perplexed. "And what, may I ask, was that about?"

She giggled and nipped my ear. "Take a girl for a ride?"

At that moment, the roar of a sports cars engine came towards us. I looked to see a Lamborghini, a golden yellow in color. The valet attendant came back out with the keys and handed them to me. "Now, be careful. This is Mr. Covarie's favorite car."

If I had been drinking, I would have done a spit take. How in the ungodly hell did Eris pull this shit off?! I looked at her as she climbed into the passenger seat, eying me expectantly. I tipped the valet handsomely and sat in the drivers seat, momentarily too stunned to do anything.

"Come on, baby. Take me for spin." She sucked in her lower lip as I revved the engine, then screamed in delight as we sped off down the streets. "Haha! I think I like these... Cars, do you call them?"

I smiled and shook my head. "You, Eris, are the craziest fucking person I have ever met!"

She grabbed my crotch and smiled. "Hmm. Then again, I'm not a person, am I? Do you still want to know what I did to get us this... equipment?" I nodded and she continued to stroke my shaft like it was a cat curled up on my lap. "Well, my apples can do many things. Seeing as how my powers are weak, I did the simplest thing I could. I wiped there minds."

I gawked. "Wiped them? Of everything?" She nodded and smiled.

"Up until the day they were born." She laughed as I pulled into the garage next to my apartment. We headed for the main building and ascended the old, rickety stairs. My grin was becoming wider, and wider, until I just eventually started laughing. Eris cocked a brow when I looked at her. "And you're laughing because..."

I wiped a tear and leaned against the wall. "Well, in just five hours since meeting you, I've made almost twenty thousand dollars, got a new car, and learned to never, ever fuck with you! Who are you?"

She smiled and squeezed my arm. "You already know, Chronos... God of time." She cooed.

"It's just a name, Eris. And I prefer Chris." I assured. She shrugged and I opened the door-

Only to be immediately pounced on and assaulted by Eris. She threw the suitcase across the room, wrapped her arms around my neck, her legs around my waist and assaulted my mouth with her own. My brain suddenly went into meltdown mode as every sensory organ in my body exploded with bliss. She pulled her bun out and her snow white hair fell over both our faces.

I eeped as she pushed me over the back of the couch and bit my neck. I was going to tell her to stop, and just go to bed, when the squeak of a voice came next to us.

"C-CHRIS?!"

I looked over to see Liv, sitting in the armchair across from the couch. I could only imagine what was going through her head as she looked at me and Eris, draped over the back of the couch as I stared at her upside down with a look of horror on my face.

Yo, Chris?

...yeah?

You done goofed.

Can you kill me?

Only if you think of orange monkey eagle.

......Fuck, can't do it.

Don't worry, she'll do it for you.

"Hey...Liv! Will it help if I said this isn't what it looks like?" I asked sheepishly. Her face contorted from hurt, to neutral, to full blown castrating rage.

"YOU'RE FUCKING DEAD!"

"FUCK!"

Author's Note

Oy... This one was a poopy to write. :P I needed him to get money in order for him to get the plans in motions, but it had to be in a good way. Eris cheating at gambling was a good means. ;) Eh, it doesn't matter, though. It's not like he robbed a bank. Enjoy, either way.
