Jakes P.O.V.

I sighed maybe if I keep telling him the same story over and over he'll stop asking. I sighed and began to speak.

"I think we left off with Cadence, or maybe what happened with the Stillwater Troop. Well I'll pick up with when I dated Cadence. Son I just want you to know I'm only telling you this because life can do terrible things. So it was the second week of school, and your mom, uncle Felix, and myself had just defeated the Ice Ghoul. Something between your mom and I changed, there had always been something there, especially since we fought an Eris Fairy. We refused to acknowledge feelings between each other until this day something about it changed. Well the afternoon following the Ice Ghoul attack, Felix and I were hanging out at Hannigans, and your mom was also there. I finally got the courage with a little help from Uncle Felix, to ask your mom out. Well before I could get a word out, we were interrupted by Uncle Felix's invite to D.O.R.K. So that attempt failed, but the following day at school which happened to have been Aunt Cadence's first day at school. So Cadence hated your mom at first. So Cadence had tricked me into going out with her. Now I use the word tricked loosely because I had fun on our date and we did end up dating. So as Cadence and I dated your mom had this resentment to me and Cadence after that, and soon your mom had found out Cadence was half-monster, and Hayley had held that against her. Well Cadence's brother Chino, had shown up at one point. Well he wasn't a nice monster like Cadence, and he had killed one of the security guards at Lakewood. Well you're mom blamed Cadence and I soon found out Cadence was half-monster. So sometime after that your mom and I had to fight Chino and send him back to the monster dimension, and following that I ended up fighting Cadence and sending her back to the monster realm. However she had grabbed my Troop Grid, I then had to enter the monster world to get it back. Things weren't going well I ran out of ammo in my weapon, and then the portal closed. So your mother in an attempt to save me jumped into the portal, and found me. Now at this point your mom really hated Cadence, so when your mom found me it was just me, and when Cadence showed up, she was almost fired at. I was able to calm her down. Well thanks to Mr. Stockleys thinking your mom, Cadence, and I all managed to survive the monster realm and were soon safely home."

"Wow dad thats amazing, you three were the first to survive the monster realm."

"Well, you could say that. I'm surprised you didn't know that already that's one of Stockley's favorite Troop memories."

"He tries not to talk about the days when you were in the Troop."

"Well thats too bad."

"So what happened after you guys returned from the monster dimension?"

"Well things were normal for the most part after that just usual monster fighting until one day, your mom and I had a drivers lesson with Mr. Stockley, and when suddenly we got a call from the Stillwater Troop. Well we rush over there. Not even rush, your mom was driving and we went about twenty in a thirty zone. So eventually we get th-My dad was cut off by the watch-com going off.

"I better take that. Can we talk more later?"

"I guess so, now getting going incase its said as I raced out the door.

Nick's P.O.V.

"So you're dad is finally talking about your mom and his years in the Troop?Holly mused once we had defeated the monster, it was nothing too big just a Basilisk.

"Yeah its weird."

"Why is it weird?"

"What's weird about it Nick?Jay asked from his station entering in today's info from the monster attack.

"Just what makes him bring it up."

"And whats that,Holly asked.

"Us."

"What do you mean us?"

"What happened last night."

"Not now Nick."

"Er what happened last night between you two?Jay asked.

"NOTHING!We shouted in unison.

"Sure what ever you say... Just don't make me get an Eris Fairy out here."

"What do you mean by that?Holly asked accusingly.

"Nothing at all dear muttered innocently.

"You drive me insane. You know that Jay?"

"Yeah yeah, why don't you two lovebirds go talk, I have work to murmured well shushing Holly and myself out of the room.

"You two are just like Jake and Hayley,Mr. Stockley laughed as we headed to the elevator.

"He's told me that twice.I said to her when we had gotten onto the elevator.

"So what did you say to our dad, to make him bring up your mom?"

"I told him that you kissed me on the cheek and I was just like I like her and I don't know if she likes me and err yeah.I said nervously.

"You like me?

"Yeah, is that a problem?"

"No, not at all."

"Why are you being so weird?"

"I'm not being weird."

"Yes you are, I told you I liked you and you haven't said anything."

"Well Nick, we've been friends for a year, and I think I may like you as more than a smiled at me.

"Really?"

"Yes Nick. I really like said before leaning in and giving me a quick peck on the lips.

" all I could say when we had broken from our kiss.

"I gotta get going Nick, we have a cheer comp tomorrow."

"But Holly?"

"Yeah?"

"Do you want to go out sometime?"

"I'd love to smiled before turning on her heels and exiting the school. I'm not sure how I got home seeing as I was floating on cloud 9, and couldn't believe that I had a date with Holly. I walked into the living room, where my dad happened to be.

"Oh hey dad.I said.

"Hey Nick, how was monster fighting?"

"Nothing to big just a basilisk."

"The first monster I fought was actually a basilisk."

"Really dad?"

"Why are you so shocked?"

"It's just until last night you'd barely talked about your days in The Troop."

"Oh? Well sorry about that, just been busy thats all."

"Yeah yeah."

"So anything fun happen?"

"Yeah, I asked Holly out and she said yes."

"Do you want to hear more about your mother?"

"Yes."

"So I left off about Stillwater?He asked

"Yes dad."

Jake's P.O.V.

"So we got locked into their headquarters and, soon the fog monster had eaten Mr. Stockley. Well we had managed to get ourselves into the panic room after freezing the monster didn't work. Anyways your mom has this idea to turn on all the appliances and try to burn the monster. So we get the room temperature up to 78, and fog burns at 80. Well things looked like we were going to die there, so I did what any man in my shoes would do. I kissed her. Well that got the room temperature up to 80 degrees and the monster was defeated. Well that seemed like the end for us. We kissed and nothing happened between us. That is until about a year later when we had been chosen to go help a new Troop get going. It was just your mom, Mr. Stockley, and I and we were to give them some starter tips. Something about being in Florida together made me think we are finally going to get together. Now remember son I'm only telling you this because life can do terrible things. So we're in Florida, trying to help these three teens just starting out in The Troop. We managed to get everything settled down, and had helped the kids. Well on our final day, Mr. Stockley had a meeting with their Troop advisor, and the kids didn't need our help anymore, which left just your mom and I to do whatever we wanted. We hung out, like we had been before the Stillwater Troop thing. Well we went out for lunch, and I had walked her back to her hotel room. Suddenly I found myself kissing her again. Thats when we became a couple. We were finally together. Little did we know back in Lakewood Kirby and Cadence had the same idea as we did. Well having two couples in our Troop always made things interesting. We continued our monster fighting for the remainder of High school. You're mom and I had been dating for a year and a half when we had graduated. I went to the California Institute of the Arts and your mom went to Berkley. It was hard not seeing each other everyday. We made it work though. One day halfway through our second year of college I drove 5 and a half hours to see her. I had something I needed to ask her. I had to ask her then. It was a long drive, I was nervous. We had been together four years to that date.I paused when I finished that.

"I think thats enough for today.I smiled and got up to go to my office.

"Dad?"

"Yes?"

"When can I hear more?"

"Soon, just remember I'm only telling you this because life can do terrible just like that I was sitting in my office. I had a photo album on my desk. I stared at the cover a long time, before opening it.
