Pandora woke up the next morning, yawning and pulling her hair out of her face. She tried to float up to go get food, but felt weight holding her down. She blinked, and put a palm to her forehead when she remembered what had happened the night prior. "Oh right...I have a kid now...I should really think through my decisions a little better..." She thought to herself. She looked down, and let out an "Awww..." at the sleeping child.

His shaggy hair was somehow pulled away so she could see his face, which looked so peaceful resting against her. His fists were balled up against her clothes, holding himself close to her. The only thing ruining this moment was his scent. His clothes, hair, and body reeked like that of a carcass. It was quite sad, really...But also EASILY dealt with. She COULD just snap her fingers and fix him up in two seconds...but she felt that if she was gonna raise him, she should do so properly. So humming to herself, she floated up, making sure to hold him properly, and shook him a little bit. Harry's eyes snapped open. "I'LL GET TO WORK RIGHT AWAY, UNCLE VERNON!" He yelped.

Pandora jumped a bit and tilted her head at him. Harry's eyes seemed to readjust and return to reality, and he looked around in confusion, unsure as to where he was. Then, he looked at her. Pink eyes met Green and Harry seemed to shrink away. "Kid? Why're you screaming?"

"I-Is it really y-you...? I thought it was a d-d-dream..." Harry replied softly.

"The one and only silly!" She grinned, patting his head. Harry let out a relived huff and dove into her shoulder, hugging her tightly as she was his only source of comfort. The goddess cooed softly and rocked him back and forth, holding him against her belly as she floated above the ground. "Hey hey hey...look around you! You're not gonna see them EVER again. Never ever. You live with Moi now!" She grinned, patting his head. Harry leaned into the touch. He wanted to savour every single solitary ounce of affection he was offered... Pandora conjured up a tub filled with steamy, warm water and sat by it. She comforted Harry for a few more minutes before pulling him away from her stomach. He looked up at her with a slight pout, that made the goddess internally squee. "Okay Harry, you need a bath. Badly."

Harry tilted his head. "A...b-bath...?" He asked softly. "Y-You mean like when my aunt and uncle put me in hot water and held me under until I thought I'd drown...?"

Pandora internally grew angry, and shushed him quickly. They had tried to DROWN HIM?! "No. It's where you're cleaned off so you smell nice and don't get sick."

Harry looked at her. "Oh...Is it gonna hurt?"

"Not at all! In fact it's one of the most wonderful thing that could ever happen to your body!~" she singsonged, pulling off his rag of a shirt and willing it to catch fire.

Harry gasped and reached out for his shirt. "No! What am I gonna wear?!"

Pandora smiled and hushed him with a finger over his lips. "Now now, Mama Pandora is gonna conjure you up some of the cutest clothes yet!"

Harry tilted his head curiously. "C-Cute...clothes...?"

Pandora nodded and patted his head, slipping off the rest of his garments and willing them to catch fire as well. She clapped her hands at the flames, then set Harry in the water. Harry was scared at first, but then realized that the water didn't seem to hurt him at all!

It was warm and soothing...He liked it a lot! He allowed for Pandora to gently scrub down his body, getting as much dirt out as possible. She moved on to his head, scrubbing it a little roughly, but only to get out the grease and dirt. By the time it was done, he felt so CLEAN! It was AMAZING! He hadn't been this clean in...ever! Pandora pulled him out of the tub, and conjured up a towel, She swaddled him up in it quickly, then set up a chair to allow him to watch the different clothes. "All right, take your pick!" Pandora exclaimed, displaying all of the outfits for Harry to try on.

Harry was overwhelemd by the huge amount of colors that awaited him. They were all bright, and different from what he was used to. He was honestly not entirely convinced he was dreaming, if he were to be completely honest. "Um...I..." He pointed to a simple red shirt, and some pants. "What about...those?"

Pandora nodded. "You got it!" She said, snapping her fingers. Harry blinked and looked down...and his eyes widened when he saw the clothes were now covering his tiny body. Harry looked up in shock and confusion, making Pandora laugh. "H-How did you...d-do that...?" he questioned the goddess, who shrugged.

"I dunno, I just can! I AM a goddess after all."

Pandora giggled. "Now, wanna try on another? There's plenty of outfits here!"

Soon enough, Harry had plenty of different Items, each one with Pandora's personal touch. Like a random dog or bunny here and there, and feetie pajamas. Pandora didn't care what anyone said, it was all adorable. She giggled and lifted him up.

Wait...did she just, giggle?! Yeah she had a kid, but did she really have to lay it on like this? Seriously, she was evil! She was a soldier of the UNDERWORLD, for heaven's sake! But...wouldn't ditching him break his little heart? Oh god, what did she just think... Pandora turned away from Harry and placed her hands over her head. This was...oh it was Mind breaking! She just...ugh... She wanted to be evil. But there was a kid here. Maybe she could teach the kid to be bad? No...maybe she could just do all her evil business later. Yeah...But...She would need a babysitter... Thanatos, perhaps...? Pandora immediately cringed at the thought. Nonononononononnononno! That would not be good...she had a horrible image of Harry flying around on a dragon Thanatos, and falling off... Shuddering, she thought perhaps...Lady Medusa...? No, that was debatably worse... Grrr this left her with a TERRIBLE option...none other than those gross do gooders in Angel Land... She sighed. Would they even be WILLING in the end? She WAS an enemy of theirs, they very well could just turn her away... Ugh, this cringing was going to give her wrinkles...she would think about this later. She turned back to Harry, who was still examining clothes. She smirked as she approached him. "Harry, will you do me a huge favour and try on that panda costume?"

Harry looked at it in confusion, then turned back to her. "W-why mama...?"

"Because it's ADORABLE." Pandora replied matter-of-factly. "Pleeeeeease?" Harry nodded and picked it up, Pandora snapping her fingers and swapping his clothes into that if the Panda suit. Pandora felt her lips curl up into the biggest grin that had ever graced her features. Her eyes turned to Hearts, and she almost tackled him in a hug, instantly cuddling the crap out of him. Harry let out a soft squeak of surprise at the tackle hug, increasing the cute factor. Pandora grinned and patted his head, examining him and enjoying the adorableness! They didn't notice their visitor...

A certain angel was staring at the scene before him, utterly baffled by what he was seeing. "Um...Lady Palutena...? I think Pandora's gone crazy..." He whispered softly.

Palutena was watching from Skyworld, mouth dropped open in total shock. "um...I mean...b-break it up, this is weirding me out!" She demanded

Pit pouted. "But Lady Palutena, it's kinda cute..."

Palutena's attention changed to Pit, and a holographic clone of herself appeared behind him, hugging him tightly. "Awwww! You're such a big softie!"

Pit blushed. "Hey, I am NOT soft! I mean, that kinda thing would make any tough guy admit it's cute!"

Palutena giggled and patted his head. "Of course Pit. Of course."

Little did they know, they had alerted Pandora to their presence. And the blue-haired goddess was not happy about them being there. She hid the Black and White clad Harry in her shoulder and angrily blasted a random Heart at Pit. The angel yelped and rolled to the side to avoid it, then looked at the goddess with a scowl. "Was that really necesarry?!"

"Of course it was! You invaded my Home!" she screeched at Pit growing angrier by the second.

"Hey, hey, I'm just following orders!" Pit protested. "Why'd you kidnap that kid, Pandora?"

Jul 30Pandora's eyes twitched and her eyes began to twitch. "k-kidnap...Look Wing Ding, this kid was being hurt by bad people, so I took the liberty to swipe him!"

Pit frowned. "Really? Why should I believe you? You could be lying!" Pandora, in her haste, snapped her fingers and played some of her memories, channelling them to a screen. Pit blinked. "Uh, you're...showing us a movie...?"

"Quiet, Pit, I think we need to see this." Palutena said.

Twenty minutes later, Pit had turned into a depressed wreck, and the REAL Palutena had to show up to clam him down. Pandora had gotten distracted with a now crying Harry. "Aww, Harry, what's wrong?" Pandora cooed softly, rocking him back and forth.

"T-they were so mean...what did I-I do wrong?!" He shrieked, tears pouring out of his eyes.

He clutched tightly to Pandora's clothes and buried his face into her chest. Pandora felt her heart tug painfully, and she began to feel genuinely sad at his cry. She rubbed his head, attempting to form a response. However, words were just failing her at this point...She had nothing to say. So she resorted to simply shushing him, and awkwardly hugging him. Harry allowed himself to be held, pressing himself as tightly against her as he could. Pandora continued to rub his head and back attentively, eventually calming him into nothing but small sniffles. Harry looked up at Pandora. She saw love in his eyes... Blushing, she realized just how adorable he looked with those giant eyes, and that freaking Panda Suit! He was all furry and short... "ooooh You're so adorable!" she screamed, hugging him.

Harry blushed fiercely and let a small smile come across his face as he snuggled up to her. At the same time, Pit and Palutena were watching the two in total confusion. "Gee Lady Palutena...who knew the Goddess of Calamity could be so...Motherly..." Palutena nodded dumbly, stunned by Pandora's behaviour. Eventually, Pandora and Harry had completely forgotten their presence and had taken to playing tag/hide and seek. Pit sweatdropped at the sight. "...I came here expecting a fight, this is kinda weird..."

Yeah I guess I'll warp us home. I guess we don't have to worry about Pandora anymore..." Palutena mused.

Then, Pandora remembered that she had something to ask of her...guests. "Oh, MILADY?" She asked the Light Goddess, mocking her in a regal tone.

Palutena stiffened and her eye twitched. "What is it...?" She grumbled.

"Could you...maybe...watch him while I'm causing chaos?" She asked the duo.

Pit and Palutena stared at her blankly, then exchanged a glance. "Um..." Pit said smartly

"I...we..." Palutena stuttered.

"Well? It's a yes or not question." Pandora said curtly, crossing her arms.

Palutena, seeing the change in Pandora, nodded. "Pit would LOVE too!"

Pit nodded. "Yeah! ...Wait, what?"

Pandora clapped, "Yay! So Angel Boy needs to be totally aware of Harry's needs, so I expect you to listen carefully next week when you babysit."

Pit sweatdropped. "Uh, hold on now-"

"Well of course!" Palutena chipped in. "Come along, Pit, let's go home!"

"But Lady Palu-" A flash of light caused them both to vanish in a flash.

Pandora smirked and let out a sigh as she looked down at her child. He was looking up at her, not with love, but with fear. "Y-you'll leave me w-with them?!"

Pandora shushed him gently. "Yes, but don't be afraid. They may be my mortal enemies, but they're kind. In fact, that's partially WHY I can't stand them..."

"A-and the chaos...? You do...bad things?" He asked, still scared.

Pandora frowned. "They may SEEM bad, but people rarely die..."

"Um...y-you won't d-do...bad things...t-to me r-right...?" He asked, whimpering.

Pandora's eyes practically bulged out of their sockets. "What? Noooo! Never!"

"O-Okay...thank you..." He whispered softly, returning to being snuggled up to her.

"Why would I do that?" She asked, offended.

Harry sniffled. "Because everyone hates me..." He said softly.

Pandora readjusted him so he was floating in the air at eye level. She cupped his cheek fondly and continued, "Why would they hate you? Not EVERYONE hates you." She giggled. "In fact, I'm certain there are VERY few people who hate you."

"N-No! Everyone does! You're only b-being nice to me bec-because you're a good person! You SHOULD do bad things to me!" He yelled, bunching up his fists and grabbing his hair, tears flowing from his eyes once again.

He hated himself...He didn't deserve to be around! He tried to escape her hold, managing to do so, and dashing away. He managed to hide under the bed. To say Pandora was shocked was an understatement. She had no Idea how to react, so she simply flew over to the bed nd looked under it, to see him curled up in a tiny ball. He was crying again...The poor, POOR thing... She awkwardly willed the Bed to elevate off the ground, allowing for her to sit down next to him and pick him up. "Harry, dear, please don't cry anymore." She cooed softly. "There's nothing to be upset about..."

He sniffled a bit. "Y-Y-Yes there is...you hate m-m-me..." he whined, pitifully.

Pandora frowned. "No I do NOT. I don't even know how you got that idea, but it's NOT. TRUE." Harry flinched and shied away at her harsh tone and attempted to escape her grasp. Pandora mentally facepalmed, and hugged him close again.

"Harry, please...Stop. Stop convincing yourself that I hate you. I don't hate you AT. ALL." He flinched a bit once again, and Pandora persisted. "if I hated you, I wouldn't have comjured you a bed, let you call me mama, given you a bath, and the list goes on!"

Harry sniffled. "I...I thought you were just trying to be nice...?"

Pandora let out a dry laugh. "Of course I was trying to be nice! I'm nice to people that I...love..." She blushed as she completed this sentence, looking down with a small smile. Harry was looking up at her in complete shock/ utter joy... She...she...she loved him...She really, really loved him! He hugged her chest tightly. Pandora giggled and held him back. "I see you're happy now, hmm?" She cooed gently. Harry nodded and snuggled up to her neck, gently resting his head against her. She put a hand to her mouth and giggled. "So affectionate." She cooed. "Like a kitten..." She laughed and jokingly made him grow cat ears for a second. He looked up at her and started patting his ears trying to find out where they came from. Pandora snickered and teleported the ears away. "I'm just teasing, dear."

Harry let out an "Oh" an laughed, snuggling back into her. Pandora noticed his sleepy demeanor and un-levitated the bed, tucking him in. "Now, I think it's time a certain someone was put down for a nice long nap." Harry nodded wriggling into the sheets with a sleepy smile. Eventually he disappeared into Slumber-Land, and Pandora decided to liven up her living space. Well, even more than she could. Harry was going to love when he woke up...
