One and a Half Months after C3 2017 

Seattle, Washington; Alex's Apartment. 

____ 

Alex stood with his arms folded across his chest, Staring at the 3 foot tall and 4 foot wide painting Bree had put on his wall, having removed the Grand Teton Mountains Alex was fond of. He had gone there with his Mom and Sister frequently over the years and had bought it to remember them. 

But now it was against the couch with this monstrosity having replaced it. The new painting was already framed in gold. 

He glanced over at Bree, who was smiling while looking at some sketches that also came from the oversized TV like box, whose insides had exploded across the room leaving bubble wrap and cardboard everywhere. 

"I told you I just needed you to bring it inside." Alex reprimanded her.  

Shortly after C3 Alex had made his alter ego Lexi an OMail account so she could message Kazama and Mihara, and keep Alex out of it. Lexi had gotten a message from Kazama a couple of days ago saying that he was going to send Lexi an oversized box and needed someone to receive it. Kazama apologized for not sending the sketches he promised sooner and wanted to save on shipping. He had sent ten sketches, over twice the originally promised four, as another thank you and a sorry for being late.  

Alex was unable to receive it as he had a meeting today with his financial advisor and his Lawyer, still trying to figure out just what he now owned from his grandparents incredible inheritance. 

He had actually found out he owned the building he and Bree were living in. His real estate loving grandfather owned many buildings and apartments in the area, including practically this whole block.  

"No wonder my grandparents found me such a cheap apartment. They owned it." He had told the lawyers. They informed him he could sue for the last couple of months rent being that the contract said he could have an apartment for free, but he didn't want the trouble.  

It wasn't like he was hurting for money. 

Since Alex was busy, He had asked Bree to take an extended lunch to be here for the package, letting her use his spare key. The Salon was having a slow day, so she had taken the rest of the day off. Alex didn't plan on telling her yet that he now also owned the building the Salon she worked at was located in as well as the park that they had spent a lot of time hanging out at. 

Bree shot him a quick glance before returning to the sketches. "Well, I wanted to see the finished project of my Sex-buddy." 

Alex and Bree had been spending more time together than ever before. Bree treated Alex as a really good friend she could talk to and hang out with, while Alex treated Bree to some fun with the money he now had while keeping his true wealth a secret as he didn't want people really knowing he was a billionaire yet. She constantly offered to buy food and tickets and whatever they wanted to do, but Alex always refused, never explaining why he suddenly had this much money and using the excuse he was just being a good friend.  

While Alex and Bree hung out, Lexi was rarely mentioned and only as another person that Bree sometimes slept with. Bree loved telling him silly or fun things that Lexi and her had been up to, especially when Lexi had done something embarrassing even though Alex had been there with them. 

Lexi and Bree on the other hand, was a different story. What was supposed to be at one point a 'one night stand' with Bree and Lexi on the night of C3, had turned into a full blown 'friends with benefits' relationship. Bree had a night of passion, costumes, and fun with Lexi at least two to four times a week. Sometimes borrowing Alex's bed or having Lexi stay at Bree's. They had tried so many different things as they continued going at it.  

Both Bree and Alex had dated other women once over that time, but Bree still came back to Lexi after things didn't work out for both of them. 

Alex sighed and looked at the large painted collage of Sultana. Kazama was quite the passionate artist and had made quite the masterpiece.  

Bree looked up at Alex, flicking her shoulder length straight black hair with red streaks behind her ear. The extra long hair she had as Goth Rapunzel hadn't lasted long. 

"Kazama sent a note that said he called it 'Carried Away'. Either based on three of the pictures or the fact he got 'carried away' with painting it. He said it was up to interpretation." 

The painting had 21 different poses of Alex when he was Sultana. Kazama had taken some artistic license with some of them, but the elements of Alex's poses as Sultana were there, with some tweaking on Sultana's facial expressions and head size so she appeared not to look like a doll. 

The middle and largest image was of Sultana in the air, sword raised to strike, mouth open in a battle 

cry, green and gold scale skirt flowing. It was from when Alex had performed for the Cosplay Contest. Kazama must have found a picture on social media, which wasn't too hard. Kig Sultana has been a popular search lately, especially with Photographer Mihara posting Pics on her booming website now called Mihara's Cosplay Photography Studio. 

The large image was surrounded by drawings whose background faded into the Blue-Green canvas. 

Most of them Alex was quite pleased with. Kazama  had done well to capture each costume in its glory with the perfect pose for each.  

One of his favorites being of Sultana in her bloodied wedding dress kneeling and crying for the loss of her husband. That pose was originally Alex's idea and showed a caring Sultana he wished the games had shown more of. Kazama had done a great job turning Sultana's fixed smirk into a face filled with great sorrow. 

One of them was of a costume Alex didn't own yet, of Sultana standing in front of a throne in an impressive pose Alex remembered doing for a completely different costume. In front of the throne knelt Sultana's Daughter Amira, also in a pose Alex had done as Sultana with her sword tip in the ground, head down, one knee up, back to her mom. 

And then there were the four poses that were making Alex very uncomfortable.  

The first was of Sultana holding up the Chinese Princess Li Xia and kissing her. Li Xia's face looked like a mix of the Asian Mihara and fair skinned Bree from the side.  

The next was of Sultana in her Belly dancer dress doing a pose that Alex had done with Bree, with Bree's hand and head on Sultana's chest, Sultana holding her. The costume was different from the one he wore, as was the person Sultana was holding to her chest. It was Bree's face, but her hair was Blonde and shorter. She had on the red dress of a handmaiden to the queen. Both women wore sheer veils over their faces. 

Alex didn't want to mention it, but he really enjoyed the look of Bree with blonde hair. Maybe Lexi could get her to try a wig one day. 

The third one was of Sultana, nude with her back to the viewer, looking down and over her bare shoulder. Luckily the scarf she held covered her nude derriere and wasn't sheer like it had been when the picture was taken. 

The final one was by far the worst. Kazama had changed the original picture quite a bit. 

Bree smirked at Alex, noticing which image he was glaring at. "I don't remember you making out with a guy during the photo shoot."  

Alex recognized the way Sultana was wearing her wedding dress and her slightly shorter, muscular husband were holding their hands together, and kissing each other deeply. 

Trying not to smirk, Alex informed Bree, "Mihara took a secret picture of us when you kissed Sultana in her wedding dress. That guy was you." 

Bree stared at the picture in shock. Then burst out laughing. 

Alex stared at her incredulously, not expecting that reaction. "What's so funny? He made me kiss a guy." 

"What's so funny..." She said in between fits of laughter. "Is they made the girl kissing you into a guy when Sultana was actually a guy." 

Alex didn't find it as amusing as she did. 

She handed him the Sketches as she caught her breath. 

 They were more accurate to what poses he had done with the costumes. 

There were three of Sultana naked. One laying down ready for sex, nipples exposed, flowers in hair, slit visible beneath the sheer scarf. One with Sultana's back turned again though with a sheer scarf that exposed Sultana's derriere. And one of Sultana and Li Xia in each other's embrace.  

There was a proper one of Sultana's wedding kisses with Bree too. 

His favorite though, was of Sultana standing before a bowing King Arthur kissing her hand.  

Bree solemnly informed him,"I sent that pic to Kazama. I took it while you were on stage." 

When he was up on stage for a costume contest that Bree had forced him into, Alex had spent some time with one of Alex's favorite characters from a TV show Alex enjoyed as a kid. King Arthur had given Alex a confidence boost and he was very grateful to the kind old man. 

Shortly after the con, Alex had found out that King Arthur was named Kyle Vance, proud owner of the Costume and Cosplay Castle. He passed away two weeks after C3. Two weeks after Alex had met him as Sultana. 

Alex felt emotion welling up in him. He had wished he had gotten to meet Kyle in person before he passed. He had reminded him of his grandfather and Alex had gone to the funeral with nothing to do that day.  

Though no one knew how he knew Kyle, he was happy that he had gone. The large picture they had of him next to the casket was of Kyle holding up his sword in triumph as when he had gotten the crowd to yell 'For Camelot!'. 

He hugged Bree. After an appropriate time Bree broke the hug and the moment by asking, "So, do you think Sultana and Li Xia ever got together? I know they kissed once in the game. I think we should make it happen. Would Lexi like to come over?" 

Alex smiled down at her. "I think they should get together. But first someone left my apartment a mess. Don't think you are getting out of it that easily." 

Bree smirked. "Maybe Lexi could wear a maid costume to help me out?" 

"Nope. You get to do it yourself while she starts to get ready. The faster you are, the more you can help and the quicker you see her." 

"Fine, but then I want a fun 'dress up Lexi' session. All this C3 stuff brought up some fond memories. Do you know what you are going to do next year? I can't wait to see what you come up with. Mihara also sent a thank you card and said if you wanted to do another photo shoot close to next year's C3, she would hook you up." 

Alex smiled mischievously. "Nope. I have some ideas, but nothing definite yet. I'm looking forward to it too. And I might just take Mihara up on that offer. Especially if I get the chance to do it with you." 

Alex knew that one of those ideas for next year involved fur.

"Xarek here, Sorry this story was so short, but I wanted a "check in" story. I hope the next Chapter will be to your satisfaction. It already looks like it'll be longer than Chapter 1's Six Parts. 

I would also love it if you could give me some Stars and Wishes feedback on Chapter 1. I'm curious to see what people really think about it and will try to fix what I can, or include more of what people enjoy. 

The next part is another short one that shows off the long term plan for Alex and Lexi called ANNE'S DEBUT. Check the link below. 

Thanks again.
