Chapter 28: New clothes, some truth, and a pair comes together :3
Previous Chapter Next ChapterWe all stared at the unicorn for a good few moments before she spoke. “Excuse me for one moment.” with that she disappear in a flash. I looked over at Indigo for a moment before there was another flash as the unicorn appeared again only this time she wore a dress shirt with a suit over it and a pinstripe skirt. She looked more professional than before. “Welcome to Carousel Boutique where every garment is chic, unique and magnifique!”
“Afternoon, Ma’am.” Indigo greeted, though still a bit weirded out.
“Yes, I do want to apologize for that earlier meeting, didn’t expect anyone to come it.” the mare said with a little laugh.
“Oh now I remember who you are.” I said as I just remembered. “You’re that one mare from some time ago, Rarity right?”
“Ah yes.” she said with a flick of her mane. “It’s nice that others remember me from time to time.” she looked down and saw Iilah nearby. “I also see you brought the little nightmare along.” This made Indigo frown deeply before shaking his head with a deep breath. It wasn’t before Iilah was picked up by some sort of magic and was brought over to Rarity who seemed to look her over.
“Um, do you mind?!” Iilah yelled which caused the unicorn mare to blink.
“Oh, sorry.” she said as she put Iilah down. “Kinda went on auto pilot there.” Rarity then made a notebook appeared and started to sketch something down.
“Well that was really rude of you to both point out and-” Blake was then cut off when Rarity gasped.
“You!” she said before there was an aura surrounding Blake. “Come with me!”
With that we watched the two of them disappear before hearing the two of them in the back room. The sound of zippers and shuffling of clothing, even a hair dryer going off.
“Umm, what just happened?” Iilah asked, confused. Indigo and I shrugged, actually speechless as to what had just transpired. Before long Rarity came out of behind a certain and the lights dimmed a bit.
“I would like to presence to you all, my newest line of dresses.” she said as the curtain was drawn away. “Midnight star gazer.”
We all saw Blake stood up on stage with her hair done in a way that covers her right eye. Her dress was a pitch black colour with some kind of dark blue into it that made it sparkle a bit. It seemed to show off her curves in a seductive manner which was off-put by how confused Blake was.
“Wha… what just happened?” she asked, looking at as. “Umm, you all okay?”
“Oh darling, you could say that a cat got their tongues.” Rarity said with a laugh. Indigo shook his head before saying.
“Blake, you look… stunning.” He said, making her blush from his words.
“Wow…” Ruby said as Qo nodded. Yang simply did a catcall.
“Well she would be stunning, I had the hardest time just finding the right model for this dress.” Rarity said with some pride. “I do say I outdid myself this time.”
“Yeah… can I… have my clothes back?” Blake asked the mare.
“Hmm, maybe we should get it.” Indigo said, though a little unsure. “How much for for the dress?” He asked Rarity. Rarity didn’t say anything as she started to do some calculation in her head.
“You want to get this dress?” Blake asked, looking down at it. “I do look good in it though.”
“Yeah, you do. Which is why I want to buy for you.” He said, smiling at the blushing cat faunus.
“Well, normally I would price higher since it’s brand new, which would cost around a thousand and five hundred bits…” I choked on some air at the price. “But since you did help me out, a simple seventy five will do.” Indigo smiled and reached into his vest pocket, pulling a small pouch filled with what I could assume were bits. They sounded like coins. He placed onto a counter and pulled the amount of bits required before handing them to Rarity. “Thank you.”
“Wait, aren’t you the Element of Generosity?’ Iilah asked her.
“Yes, why?” Rarity said. Iilah frowned and pointed at her.
“If you are then that should’ve been for free.” she pointed out. Rarity frowned at this.
“That’s true, but as you can tell I run a business and I do need the bits for it.” Rarity explained. Iilah frowned a bit at this but didn’t say anything.
“Come on, don’t be like that.” Indigo said, giving Iilah a pat on the head before looking at Rarity. “You got a changing room Blake could use?” He asked.
“Yes yes, it’s right over there.” Rarity said as she pointed to some more curtains. Blake had gotten her clothes before walking through the curtains. As Rarity turned Qo stood in front of her. “Oh, hello there child. What can I do for you?”
“Vis Zu’u lost karaas ol pruzah staavek geinzahkey malkey?” Qo asked her. [Can I have a dress as well miss unicorn pony?] Rarity stared at her for a few moments in silence as she chuckled oddly.
“Umm, are your parents here? Maybe I could talk to them to… know what you just said.” Rarity asked Qo. Qo simply stared and pointed at both me and Ruby. “... Oh.”
“You found out?” Ruby asked, to which I simply nodded.
“Hold on, parents?!” Yang asked in a shocked voice. “Did you two do something while you were gone and if so where do I get some?” This caused both me and Ruby to look at each other and then at Yang.
“What?” Ruby asked.
“What what? I’m just wondering.” Yang said. I sighed as I told Rarity what Qo said.
“Oh… I uhh, have to go check something quick.” she said before walking out.
“So what are you two going to do, knowing Qo is technically your kid?” Indigo asked, wanting to break the silence. He had already put away the pouch back into his pocket.
“I have no idea.” I said as I sat down with a sigh.” I just found out this just today so…”
Ruby sat down beside me and put a hand over mine. “We’ll figure it out.”
I stared at her for a moment before smiling. “Yeah… that’s true.”
“Wait… so she’s really is your kid?” Yang asked the both of us. I sighed and nodded. She then put both of her hands up happily. “I’m an aunt! Woo!”
“Woo!” Qo did the same thing and simply giggled. Indigo chuckled at her behaviour. Before long Rarity came out with two dresses, one was a dark blue with electric blue highlights and a purple one.
“Here you are, this one is for you.” she said, handing the blue one to Qo. “And this one is for you!” she then handed the purple one to Iilah.
“Huh? Why are you giving me one?” Iilah asked.
“Well, it’s just me being generous.” the mare said with a smirk. Iilah looked at her and then stare at the dress in her hands. She looked at Indigo, as if silently waiting for something.
“Go ahead, try it on in changing room.” He said just as Blake came out with the dress in hand. Iilah nodded before heading off into the changing rooms. Qo also did the same with one of the other ones.
“What did I miss?” Blake asked.
“Qo and Iilah went to try on some dresses.” Indigo quickly answered before looking at Weiss, who kept browsing without a care in the world. She was humming a song which Rarity started to hear.
“Oh my, she has a lovely voice.” she said with a smile.
“She could tell by Weiss’ humming?” Yang asked.
“Shush.” Blake said. Indigo chuckled before answering the mare.
“Yeah, she’s a talented singer, well known from where we’re from.” Indigo said, answering the mare’s unasked question.
“Oh really?” Rarity asked, looking back at Weiss. “Well I would absolutely love to hear her sing.” Indigo glanced at me and shrugged, not knowing what to say.
“I got nothing, I haven’t heard her sing before.” I said. Truth be told I didn’t know Weiss could sing until now.
Before anyone could say something the curtains opened and both Qo and Iilah came out in their dresses. Qo was super happy about it as Iilah… well she was smiling.
“Frolok frolok! Daar los amazing!” Qo said happily. [Look look! This is amazing!] I smiled at her as she came up to me. “Vir dreh Zu’u frolok Mommy?”[How do I look Mommy?]
The last word gave me pause. I felt my heart fluttered a bit with joy as she said that. I simply smiled and picked her up.
“You look amazing tolal.” I told her. [amazing honey.] Qo cheered at this as Ruby smiled at me.
“Do you like the dress, Iilah?” Blake asked, walking up to her as she did. Blake had checked to see if Iilah was comfortable in the dress and adjusting it a bit. Iilah blushed a bit before speaking.
“It’s… not bad.” she said as she moved around in it. Rarity gave her an odd look but didn’t say anything. Indigo kneeled down to take a closer look at Iilah.
“You look good in it.” He said with a smile. This earned him and Blake a small and barely noticeable smile. Iilah blushed a bit more at this before started to move around in the dress, giggling a bit. Indigo stood back up with Blake in tow, both of them smiling at her happiness.
“Well it seems that someone happy.” Rarity said, drawing the attention of Iilah. She cleared her throat a bit.
“Yes well, it’s alright…” she said.
“Sure it is.” Rarity said with an eye roll. At this point I heard a growl coming from Qo. She looked down for a moment.
“Kip!” she announced. [Food!]
“Well I think it’s time for some food.” I said with a chuckle. After Qo and Iilah got changed back to some normal clothes we thanked Rarity and left in search of someplace to eat.
After asking around for some directions, we managed to come across a large gingerbread house. Everyone stared at in wonder before deciding unanimously to eat here. Qo on the other hand seemed to have found out that the gingerbread walls of the place were fake after she tried to eat it. Ruby had to carry Qo as she got teary-eyed from this.
“Can’t believe you tried to eat a building.” Iilah commented as Ruby put Qo down.
“Nuz. .. Nii frolok med saad gingerbread.” So explained. [But... It looked like real gingerbread.]
“In her defense, it did look a bit too much like an actual gingerbread house.” Blake said, giving Qo a little smile. Before anyone could say anything I turned and a pair of blue eyes staring right at me. I yelped and jumped back at this.
“Hello~” the pink haired Faunus greeted us with a bright smile. Everyone was surprised by her sudden appearance as well. Qo immediately hid behind me after screaming in fear.
“What… how?” Weiss asked.
“What what?” the woman asked. Weiss was about to say but Yang stopped her.
“We’re here for food, not to ask many questions. A few questions is alright.” Yang said. Indigo, seeing that Iilah felt a little uneasy after the pink haired woman’s sudden appearance, picked her and placed atop his shoulders like before. Blake saw this and looked at Indigo oddly, silently questioning him only to receive a shrug.
I looked back and saw the woman staring at Iilah… on a stepladder. What?
“I have one~ important question for you missy.” she said. Iilah looked at her before the question was told. “Do you like… cookies?”
“What?” Iilah asked in surprise, nearly falling off as she did.
“Careful now.” Indigo said, adjusting Iilah back on his shoulders. Iilah looked at the pink haired Faunus for a few moments before answering.
“Uhh, yes?” she answered.
“Okay.” the lady said before… disappearing into a pink cloud and reappearing behind the counter.
“Duhhh.” was all I could say at that.
“I’m having second thoughts on coming here.” Indigo said just above a whisper. Iilah nodded a little in agreement. I shook my head as o saw Qo staring up at some of the pastries, drooling at the sight.
“I now see the Ruby side of her.” I whispered to Indigo as Ruby was doing the same thing with Qo. Indigo chuckled and looked at the two.
“Two girls with large sweet tooths…” Indigo said with a smile. Blake heard this and chuckled. “You’ve got quite the predicament.” Indigo added, glancing at me as he did.
“It makes them ‘them’.” I told him as we all gathered in front of the counter.
“Heyoo~, what can I get everyone?” The Faunus asked.
“Strawberry Milkshake with a brownie.” Yang said first.
“Some Earl Gray tea and a blueberry scone.” Weiss asked.
“Milk or cream?” the lady asked.
“None.” Weiss answered.
“A small chocolate cake.” I asked.
“Coffee.” Indigo asked before looking to the left to see an ad for some freshly baked doughnuts. “With a glazed doughnut.”
“Same but with some milk and sugar.” Blake ordered after having thought of what to order.
“A brownie and a glass milk.” Iilah requested from atop Indigo’s shoulders.
“Cheesecake!” Ruby said loudly.
“Voth sufolbrot!” Qo added after. [With cookies!]
“What?” the lady asked.
“With cookies.” I translated for her. With a nod we paid for our food and the Pink Faunus went into the back of the store. We found a large booth to sit in as we waited.
“This town ain’t so bad.” Indigo said after placing Iilah down onto the seat of the booth. “Colorful place, nice people.” Indigo said before sitting down with Iilah in between him and Blake.
“Yeah…” Yang said as a pair of ponies walked past the window. “Colourful would be the right word.”
“We might make some new friends here.” Ruby said cheerfully. I chuckled as I heard Qo singing happily about cookies. Mostly just saying cookies happily. We all chatted about anything we could think of.
“Hey Weiss, if there was a singing thing would you join?” Ruby asked. This caught Weiss off guard.
“Huh? What?” she asked.
“If a competition came up would you sing in it?” Yang asked her.
“Absolutely not.” Weiss said in her high class tone. “The idea of competing in such an event isn’t part of who I am.”
“Worried that you might lose?” Yang snickered, earning a glare from Weiss.
“No… I just don’t think there would be much of a challenge.” Weiss said with her arms crossed.
“Oooo, look out folks, Weiss Schnee has a competitive side of her.” Yang said, making some of us laugh.
“You know, I haven’t heard you sing before.” I said to Weiss. “Do you think I will hear you sing someday?”
Weiss took a moment as the food was coming out. “Possibly.” Iilah looked a bit excited at the sight of the food, Indigo and Blake looked down at the child with a curious glance. It’s kinda hard to imagine her being some evil being who wanted nothing but to bring eternal night.
Iilah took notice as she started eating. “What?” she asked with some food in her mouth.
“Don’t talk with your mouth full.” Indigo said, though ironically with a mouthful of the doughnut he bit into.
“Both of you don’t speak with your mouths full.” Blake said firmly to the both of them. Indigo chuckled at this before taking a sip of his coffee. I was simply eating my cake as I glanced over to see both Ruby and Qo inhaled their cookies. They seem blissfully happy at this. I simply laughed at this. Ruby turned to be with a mouthful of cookies.
“Wah?” she asked.
“Oh nothing.” I said, kissing her cheek. She blushed a bit after that. Yang had struck out a conversation with Weiss, mostly regarding her Tak spending a lot of time together, Weiss’s face couldn’t be any redder than Ruby’s hood.
“Ohh! I was right, Ice queen has her sights on Batman!” Yang said with a laugh.
“What! Yang really!?” Weiss yelled at her.
“I’m not hearing a no~” Yang singsonged, making Weiss even redder.
“Really, you’ve got a thing for Tak?” Indigo said, smirking as he took another sip of his coffee. Weiss looked at all of us, still blushing.
“I… well...it’s not…” she stuttered before groaning. “Alright, yes I...have a bit of a crush on Tak…”
“Why do you act as if having a crush is something embarrassing?” Blake asked the blushing Schnee.
“It’s just… something different.” Weiss said, looking to the side. “Sure I had crushes before but this one is… just different.”
“Different than Neptune?” Indigo asked with arched brow.
“Neptune’s cute and all but Tak…” Weiss stopped as she thought about it. “I feel like he really listens to me and… I don’t know. What I do know is that he’s better than any high class boy I met.”
“Did you ever try telling him?” Blake asked, only to see Weiss shake her head. “Nervous?” Blake guessed. Weiss nodded.
“I’m trying to find the right moment…” she said.
“Weiss, there’s never going to be the right moment.” I told her. She shifted a little in her seat after hearing this.
“You’ll need to tell him eventually.” Indigo said before smirking a little and saying. “Who knows, maybe someone else will sweep him off his feet.” He said only to receive a punch to the shoulder. “Ow, sorry.” He said, leaning back onto the chair.
“Right… wait, is someone thinking about that?” Weiss asked, glaring at Yang soon after she spoke.
“Hey hey! Don’t look at me!” Yang said in surprised. Weiss sighed a bit before slumping in her seat. It was before Yang gave everyone an odd look. “Wait, if Weiss has someone… am I the only one single?!”
“Didn’t see that coming.” Indigo said before sipping his coffee. He must really like it, seeing as he is nowhere near finishing.
“Is that really that bad?” Ruby asked.
“Yes, yes it is.” Yang said before looking out of the window. Almost like she was scanning the crowd for someone.
“Maybe that explains why she was flirting with your Father.” Weiss said to me.
“Maybe, also he isn’t really my father, same goes with Mother, I just call them that since they raised me since I was a kid.” I told Weiss. Weiss took that as a surprise but didn’t say anything about it.
“So… is he/she single?” Yang asked with a smile.
“Ew! Ew!” Ruby said as she covered her ears.
“I’m not going to say it but as I have to; Really!?!” Weiss snapped.
“Hey, I’m not the judging type.” Yang said before looking at me. “But I will say they look amazing.”
I paused for a bit as I tried to re-rail what I was thinking. “I’m… not going to answer that.”
“Maybe ask him...her, they?” Indigo ended up confusing himself before shaking his head and looking at me. “Your parent confuses me.” He said plainly.
“Go with they until you see which form they are in.” I told him. After some time eating and talking we finished up and were heading out. “Thanks for the food!”
“No problem!” the pink Faunus said cheerfully. The group wandered around town for a bit before the sun was going down. We all headed back to the school to which we separate to do our own thing. Qo went with Ruby so she could see something that Ruby promise her as I headed back to my room. When I got there I saw Mother sitting on my bed petting Sylph. The Dust grimm was happily making noises to express her joy at this before noticing me.
“I know that feeling Sylph. All too well.” I said before taking my jacket off. “How was your day Mother?”
“Relaxing really. For the first time in ages I am able to take some time for myself without worrying about the total collapse of Dovah civilization.” Mother said, a smile on her face as she spoke each word. “How was your trip to the town? Had any fun?” She asked.
“Yes, I did have fun.” I said with a smile. I went to put my coat up before a thought came to my mind. “You knew what was up with Qo!” She nodded with her smile never faltering.
“Of course I did.” She said. I sat down beside her and fell backward.
“Honestly I shouldn’t be surprised that you knew that about my kid.” I said to her. She continued to pet Sylph as she looked at me and said.
“How does your significant other feel on the matter?” She asked, regarding Ruby’s feelings towards Qo.
“Well she seemed alright with it, Qo told me that she did sorta freak when you told her.” I said as I looked up at her. “But I think we’ll make it work.”
Mother’ smile brightened after hearing this, happy to hear that Qo will have the love and adoration of both parents. Sylph purred loudly, she was almost melting with Mother’s touch.
“Has anything interesting happened during your trip? Anything you’d like to share?” She asked, wanting to know about my day. I took time telling her how my day went, when I got to Qo and the dress I let out my gushing side.
“She looked so cute in her dress! Ah! I just wanted to hug her so much!” I said happily, which made Mother laugh.
“Do be careful to not smother her to death with hugs.” Mother said in a joking manner. I laughed at this. I continued on and got to the part with Weiss and Tak.
“I think she’s having what I was having trouble with; trying to tell the other about your feelings.” I said. I then thought of what happened after that. “Yang had a realization that she was the only one that’s single.”
“Well that’s unfortunate, isn’t it.” She said with a hint of concern in her tone. “I wouldn’t think she took that news well, did she?” Mother asked.
“Well she’s not going with the ‘end of the world’ reaction.” I said chuckling a little before remembering what happened afterwards. “The strangest part if it all was that she asked if you were single.”
I felt Sylph turn a bit, probably to give me a odd look as I continue as I stared up at the roof. “Before you ask, I didn’t really answer her question since it was out of left field. I would probably say that you would look too old for her or something.”
“And what makes you think that?” She asked me, her voice taking a playful tone.
“Hey, don’t take it the wrong way but it was off the top of my head.” I said as I pushed myself up. “Also when to the age part, you kinda look around thirty to forty...uhh.” as I looked at her I saw a much younger version of Mother, around my age I think. Truth be told anyone could say that she could pass off as a cousin of mine. “Oh you think you’re funny.” She chuckled at this before saying.
“Perhaps I should have a talk with Yang in this form?” She asked in a playful manner. It took me a moment to think after hearing her in a younger age. I blinked a few times before saying.
“I can’t tell if you’re considering it or not because I can kinda see it.” I said before I blushed at the thought. “I’m not trying to be matchmaker here! Sorry!”
“Yang has been flirting with me for quite some time and while I am unsure why seeks my attention instead of a mortal such as herself, I suppose I can try.” She said with a little smile, honesty evident in her tone. I gave it some thought before a few ideas came to mind.
“Maybe since you helped her through a really dark moment of her life.” I said to her. “She used to think she was an unstoppable being until Adam cut her arm off. You helped her through that struggle.” I then remembered what she said at the coffee house. “Also Yang think you look hot in both forms.”
“At least someone appreciates the work I put into maintaining these forms.” Mother said jokingly before laughing. I joined in with laughing before sitting up beside her.
“So… going to wait for a moment to see her or should we both go find her?” I asked with a smirk. “I just really want to see her face when you do this.” She arched a brow at this.
“I suppose there’s nothing wrong with that.” She said after giving it some thought. I smirked at her before standing up.
“Well, onwards” I said with a giggle. The two of us soon headed off to find Yangs room. It was kinda funny that each person has their own room in the school with Team RWBY being close to each other. On the way my mind came up with some questions. “You know, in this form your shorten name is Mavis, am I wrong?” I asked out loud.
“Yes, I suppose in a way it is.” Mother answered with a nod before glancing. “What do you have in mind?”
“Just a thought I had.” I told her. “Also are we going off that we’re friends or just as normal?” I asked. As she gave it some thought I noticed that everyone we pass was turning their heads towards Mother. Men and women simply stared at her. “It seems that you’re drawing attention.”
“Whichever one you think is best.” She finally answered before noticing the looks she’s been getting before shaking her head with a chuckle. “Mortals, so odd yet interesting.” She said just above a whisper. I simply rolled my eyes before we got to the door to Yangs room. I gave it a few knocks.
“Hold on!” Yang called out through the door. Soon the door opened and Yang stood there in a yellow tank-top and some black pants . Her hair has be put up in a ponytail and her arm was off. “Hey Viri, who’s your friend?”
I tried to hold back a laugh as I spoke. “Yang, this is Mavis.” I introduce Mother to Yang to see if she recognized her.
“Hey there.” She said with a smile and offered Mother her hand. “I’m Yang Xiao Long.”
“Greeting, Miss Xiao Long.” Mother said before giving her a small bow. Yang was a little confused at this before bowing back.
“So, you two need something?” Yang looked back into her room for a moment before saying. “If you want to hang out then I’m up for it.” I glanced to ‘Mavis’ to see her response.
“That would be nice.” ‘Mavis’ said with a smile. Yang smiled as she let the two of us in. I saw her room was… quite cleaner than I thought. Her bed was pushed into the corner with her desk. On the other side of the room with some text books. On her dresser was the prosthetic arm Ruby and I made for Yang. Speaking of Yang she pulled some bottles of water out and hand them to us with only one hand. “Want some water?”
“I am fine but thank you.” ‘Mother’ said, thanking her for the offer.
“I’m good thanks.” I said before looking at the arm. “Something wrong with the arm?”
“Oh no it’s fine.” Yang said before looking at her stump. “Just, having it off is doing a bit of good to me.” she said before looking a little nervous. “Is uh… your Mother still around?”
I pretended to give it some thought before answering. “Maybe, why?”
“Just… I really feel like I should give her my thanks to her after… you know.” Yang gestured to her arm. “Oh, sorry Mavis. Kinda forgot you were there for a moment… That was bad of me.”
“No need to apologize. It was a simple mistake.” ‘Mavis’ said with simply shrug, her smile having never faltered yet. Yang chuckled a bit.
“Right.” she said before nodding to me. “You know her mother is amazing. If it wasn’t for her I…” she paused for a moment. “I uh… wouldn’t really be here.”
“Wait what?” I asked, my smile dropping. Mother’s smile vanished as well, concerned over what Yang was going to say.
“Remember the aftermath of this?” she gestured to her stump. “I was… in a dark place for a while. I tried to hide it but there were times when I had some...close calls.” Yangs smile softened a bit. “But… your mom is simply a saint. Pulled me out with some words and… things got better.” Yang was sniffling a bit before standing up. “Sorry, I need to use the bathroom for a moment.”
With that Yang left. I felt a bit hollow inside at her words. “I feel… terrible for not seeing this…” I said as I sat down. Mother was silent, a look of sadness replacing the smile she once had. Before long Yang returned, looking better than before.
“I’m back.” she said before seeing the two of us. “Hey hey, what with the sad faces?”
“From what I just heard, how could I not be?” I asked. Yang rolled her eyes.
“Come on that was in the past, today is the present and we should be happy!” Yang said cheerfully. I smiled a little bit at her mood as she continued. “If you ever see your mom tell her I said hi again.”
“What about thinking she was Hot?” I asked.
“She is, never going to deny that. But I also think she has a bit of a playful side to her.” Yang smile turned into a smirk. “But if she challenges me to a game of Remnant, she is going down!” this caused me to start laughing. I noticed Mother smiling at this, seeing how she had gotten better after what she had just said. For the next while the three of us hung out, playing some games that Yang had in her room. Funny enough we played the Remnant game and Mother won the game, making Yang bow down to defeat. “I’m not worthy.”
“Really Yang?” I asked with a smirk.
“Telling the truth here!” Yang said. This made Mother laugh hard, more so than I have ever seen. Before long Yang went out to get some drinks, leaving the two of us alone.
“So, what are your thoughts?” I asked Mother as I pulled the number of Pigtails out of my hair after a dare from Yang.
“Well first off you look cute with those pigtails.” Mother said with a laugh. She then looked out of the door where Yang left. “And second, I had many others try to win my favor and my attention for so long that everything is simply the same… Yang Xiao Long is… different.”
“Oh~ is this you getting a crush on the Sunny Dragon?” I said with a smirk and using what Yang said was her nickname her father used. This earned me a chuckle from her.
“Perhaps.” Mother said with a smile and a shake of her head. I turned to her for a moment before I spoke.
“You never said there was another with you, someone you loved. Was there someone or… were you alone?” I asked. There was silence between us as Mother looked like she was thinking back. I think this was pushing my luck on that question.
“No… for as long I can recall, I’ve never had anyone else.” She said, looking down a bit sad.
“Oh…” I said. After sitting in silence for a bit I spoke. “Why not start looking? Yang is an amazing woman and if not her then there’s a number of others that could be.” I crossed my arms a bit. “Look at your sister, she’s an interesting type but when she talked to Indigo’s grandfather I saw her blush for the first time that I ever seen her. And I know it’s true mother I’ve seen with my own two eyes!” Mother smiled at this and chuckled.
“Perhaps you’re right.” She said in admittance. She smiled at me, silently thanking me. I smiled at her as I as Yang appeared at the door, with an odd look on her.
“Yang, you alright?” I asked her.
“Not really.” Yang said as she made her way over to Mother. “I found out this is your Mother and it took me this long to realize that.”
“Really.” I deadpanned.
“She looks young! How am I supposed to know?!” Yang asked before looking at Mother with a blush on her face. “I’m uhh, really sorry for what I said ma’am. I didn’t know it was-”
Mother stopped Yang by putting a finger on her lips. “It’s fine Yang, in fact I enjoyed what you have said so far… also.” she leaned forward and have the blonde a kiss. My jaw dropped as Yang stood there while Mother pulled away. “Call me Mavis.”
She backed away from Yang to see her stand that before falling over. We both saw her with a love-struck look on her as she laid there. “Guess you made her day.”
With a wave of her hand, Mother had lifted up Yang before gently placing atop her bed, where she could at least be lovestruck comfortably. Mother turned to me, a hint of a blush on her cheeks caught my eye. I smiled at her and gave her a hug.
“I’m rooting for you two.” I whispered.
“Thank you, dear.” She whispered back before pulling away. “I must get going now, I’ve been gone for too long and the Non-Dovah might get hungry.” She said as her form aged back up to what it was before. Yang said something happily in her state that made Mother turn her head and smile more. “I’ll return tomorrow after school hours.” She said to the both of us before disappearing in a flash of a golden light.
“Well… I saw both of them blush. That’s something I never thought I’d see.”
Next Chapter: Snow day, the flu, and free time Estimated time remaining: 12 Hours, 38 MinutesAuthor's Notes:
I think this is a bit of a heartwarming chapter. Also Yang and Mavisath... that’s going to be fun
