It was common knowledge around the abbey that the ghouls were very tight knit. That could especially be said for the three ghoulettes, Cirrus and Cumulus being summoned together and Sunshine being taken under the other two ghoulettes wings as soon as she was summoned. One activity that the three enjoyed immensely was their annual girls night where they would usually watch movies and cuddle, snack, do each other’s hair and makeup, and other fun activities wink wink. It was during one of these girl nights that a sort of dilemma happened.
“Well that was an…. interesting movie,” Cirrus commented with a look as the credits rolled.
“Not one of our best choices no,” Cumulus remarked from her curled up position on Cirrus’s left side. “That ending was definitely something.”
“Can we watch something else please,” Sunshine pleaded with a little pout from Cirrus' other side.
“Of course we can hun,” the taller ghoulette replied, pressing a quick peck to Sunny’s forehead.
Reaching somewhere behind her head Cirrus grabbed the remote and began looking through the selection of films they had downloaded. It was ultimately decided that they would watch Tangled, it being one of Cumulus favorites and Sunshine not having seen it before. About ready to hit the start when Sunny spoke up.
“Wait, we can't start yet we finished all the snacks.”
“They have a point Cir, if we’re watching another movie I want to be able to snack.”
“Well which one of us is going to get up then?” Cirrus questioned with a glance at the two.
The two shorter ghoulettes shared a glance knowing in that moment that neither really wanted to get up from the cocoon of blankets. So sharing a nod they both decided to give Cirrus their best puppy dog eyes.
“Oh no, no no no no that isn’t fair,” no matter which side she looked at, Cirrus was met with two sets of equally big eyes and quivering lips. It especially didn’t help when the two started to purr and nuzzle into her neck, sealing her fate as the one to get up and retrieve the snacks. “You're lucky I love the both of you, those eyes should be illegal,” she remarked, beginning to sit up.
“Mmmm you know you love us lover,” Cumulus purred with a triumphant smile. “ Yeah, oh can you get those little chocolate covered cookie dough balls Cir pretty pls,” Sunshine asked while batting her eyelashes.
“Of course Sun, any requests Lussy?” shooting her air counterpart a questioning glance with a tilt of her head.
“Some chips and drinks I guess, whatever you get I’ll be fine with.”
With a nod Cirrus began to rise from their little nest of pillows and blankets, she got about a couple inches from her spot when she felt a tug on her tail and promptly fell on her ass. Glancing back she noticed that somehow during their cuddle they had managed to knot their tails together.
“Well how in the seven pits of hell did that happen,” Cirrus remarked while lifting up the appendage.
“So is that why my tail was going numb,” Sunshine replied. The two air ghoulettes shared a look before glancing back at their partner “What I just thought one of you was laying on it,” replying with a shrug.
“Well forgetting the how, who is gonna untangle us,” Cumulus asked “I mean I’m trying to get us untangled but I can’t quite get it.”
“I know Aeth is helping out Copia with some band stuff,” Cirrus mumbled “And I think Rainy said he was going down to the lake.”
“Dew and Swiss would probably just laugh and take pictures before they help,” Sunshine commented.
“So that leaves Mountain,” Cumulus spoke up “I think he’s just reading in his room, I’ll ask him.”
“Hey Mounty, me and the girls' tails are knotted together, do you mind coming and untangling us?”
“Sure thing Lus I’ll be right over.”
“Ok he said he’ll be right over and help us out”
“Good my tail’s starting to go numb”
And with that the three ghoulettes sat and waited for their earth ghoul packmate to come and untangle them from their predicament. A couple of minutes later a soft knock could be heard at the door followed by a chorus of “come in.” Opening the door Mountain walked through the frame and immediately stopped in his tracks, eyes lowering to the trios tails knotted up “well that certainly is a predicament.”
“Mounty please help us,” Sunshine whined while stretching towards the earth ghoul as far as she could.
Letting out a low chuckle the earth ghoul made his way over before Sunny accidentally dragged the other two trying to get to him. “Well let's get this sorted out shall we.”
Crouching down Mountain began working on the girls’ tails. It took a lot of pulling, twisting, finding out whose tail was wrapped the others, and a little hissing and whining but somehow Mountain managed to free the tails. The three then tackled the giant ghoul, peppering his face with little kisses and tails happily wagging, little flowers beginning to sprout from Mountain's horns because of all the attention.
“Ok Ok you two I think it’s time we give him some space, and besides I still need to go get those snacks,” Cirrus replies pulling the earth ghoul up with her towards the door “We’ll be back in a minute.”
Shutting the door behind them the pair made their way towards the kitchen. “Thanks again for helping us Mounty”
“It was no trouble at all,” the ghoul said with a blush beginning to creep up his cheeks.
“Well would you care to join us for our movie, it’s the least we can do, you saved us from the possibility of either Dew or Swiss getting pictures of our little conundrum.”
“As much as I’d love to spend time with you ladies, I promised Rain I’d and spend time with him at the lake.”
“Well you two have fun then, tell Rainy we said hi.”
“Of course enjoy your movie, and try not to get stuck together again.”
“Mmmmm I make no promises,” Cirrus replied with a little smile.
Letting out a little chuckle at her remark, Mountain leaned down to place a quick kiss between Cirrus’s horns who let out a happy trill, Mountain made his way out of the commons and into the hall. Making her way around the kitchen and picking up a variety of snacks and drinks, Cirrus made her way back to her room. Pushing open the door and being met with two equally excited ghoulettes ready to receive their snacks and lover. Distributing the snacks Cirrus settled back into their original spot between the two(tails to themselves) and started up Tangled.
