Chapter 36
Rest and Relaxation
I woke up around 5 AM as my stomach decided it was hungry I got dressed then headed to the kitchen grabbing something to eat. After that I roamed to the hanger and noticed some of the soldiers were already up and about so I figured I'd enter. The moment the soldiers that were awake noticed me they saluted me as I did the same.
"At ease soldier." I stated as they all relaxed
"What happened to your injuries, Shawn?" Jon asked who was a Private First Class
"I heal extremely fast." I stated
"How?" Jon asked
"Due to my coralian blood it allows some advantages and disadvantages." I stated as this caught everyone's attention
"Like those orbs?" Jon asked as this caught my attention. 'I guess word travels fast.' I thought
"Basically, now not to be rude but I won't go into any more detail about my powers. It's for everyone's protection." I stated as I saluted then climbed into the cockpit of Michiko.
'Noisy bunch aren't they.' Michiko said causing me to chuckle a bit
'I agree but that's humans for ya. If they found anything as destructive as my powers then they have to know about it or healing powers for that matter.' I said
'Would you be included in the human statement?' Michiko asked
'Hm, yeah I'd ask about such things as well. I do have a curious personality in general.' I stated
'At least you do not deny it.' Michiko said
'Course not cause it's who I am.' I said smiling to myself
'How was the battle?' Michiko asked
'Ruthless like usual. Blew up a base, captured two hostages and rescued 30 soldiers. All in a days work.' I said casually as I continued eating.
'Do you enjoy doing what you do?' Michiko asked
'You already know the answer to that question. I only do what I do to protect my loved ones.' I stated
'Decent answer.' Michiko said in her usual soft tone as I just shrugged
'I'm gonna turn on the radio if ya don't mind.' I said
'Nope I don't.' Michiko replied as I turned on the radio they had some boring sounding person talking about the rebels, the Ray=Out magazine, etc etc. I didn't pay much mind to it until I recognized a familiar voice that caused me to literally jump out of the cockpit almost landing on one of the soldiers while I high tailed it to the bridge. I reached the bridge in a matter of minutes as I barreled in everyone looked at me curiously.
"Radio…On….Now!...Dewey!" I said between breaths as Holland immediately turned on the radio that was on the bridge.
"Everyone who's lost loved ones due to the second summer of love and would like revenge I now have the answer for all of you! I've perfected the Hammer of God secret weapon and am in the process of transporting it to where the Scub Coral is. If you want your revenge join me and we shall taste victory against these vile monsters. I have also located the ones responsible for what happened to your loved ones. They are located at the Tresor Research Base. Their names are Renton and Eureka. Go make them feel your wraith." Then the radio went silent. The rage Holland showed in his eyes I admitted was extremely scary and mine was on par with his.
"Holland want me to contact HQ informing them of what happened?" I asked
"They probably already know." Holland stated in a dark pissed off tone
"High tail it to the Tresor base then for Amarante's sake?" I asked as Holland just nodded
"James full throttle to the Tresor base. Shawn prep your LFO and tell everyone else to prep there's as well. This might turn out to be a big a bloody battle." Holland stated
"Yes Sir!" as I ran out finding Renton and Eureka first. As I barrelled into the room, I saw them staring at the Radio
"Mommy what's going to happen now?" Maeter asked then looked at me
"Eureka, Renton prep your LFO. Maeter don't worry about your parents I'll protect them" I stated as I barreled on to the next pair without waiting for a reply from them. I ran into Dominic and Anemone's room.
"I heard on the radio Shawn." Dominic said as he was already up and getting dressed as was Anemone.
"It'll be a pleasure fighting along side the both of you. Renton and Eureka are already getting ready." I stated as I ran informing Matthieu, Hilda, Talho and then barreled out into the hanger informing the soldiers.
"That bastard Dewey finally made his move! Let us protect Tresor everyone!" One of the higher ups said as everyone cheered raising their fists up in the air as I ran hoping into Michiko prepping her soon after the rest of the gang ran into the hanger jumping into their LFO's prepping them.
"Everyone please leave the hanger so we can launch when we have to." I stated as all the soldiers began leaving the hanger area fast.
"Everyone we'll be reaching Tresor in about fifteen minutes be ready to launch." Holland said over the PA system.
"It'll be a pleasure fighting with all of you. I'll be sure to watch everyone's backs if I can." I said giving everyone a thumbs up as they did the same.
"We'll watch your back too." Everyone said as we were all smiles before the battle but we were all nervous underneath it all as this battle would probably be one of the biggest ones we've participated in, at least for me. Fifteen minutes flew by rather slowly as Holland hollered over the PA system for everyone to launch. Nirvash was the first out then TheEnd then the R606 and R808. I was the last one out, what I saw shocked me greatly. There was quite a few people running out of the forest area and the surrounding area with a few KLF's and those two LFO's that escaped.
"Let's do it!" I yelled as I activated the Seventh Swell as did Nirvash and TheEnd. As we all rushed down going directly after those LFO's at full speed. While the others focused on the KLF's.
I went after the red LFO as did the Nirvash while TheEnd went after the White one. The red LFO brought out it's blasters firing them at us as the Nirvash and I split up putting our boosters to full to get on both sides of him. He noticed this and fired his boosters pushing him forward then around he fired again as both of us dodged. I launched my lasers at him as he was focusing on dodging them the Nirvash used it's boosters to cut it off then pulled out a laser gun charging it to full then fired it catching the red LFO off guard it managed to dodge a direct hit but the blast hit it's right arm as I used my boosters catching up to them as I brought out a gun as well firing a blast from it as the red LFO dodged easily this time but Nirvash predicted where he was going to go catching him in the process firing another round at him while I launched my lasers at him as Matthieu and Hilda came out of nowhere to assist us firing their guns as well. There wasn't a place for him to escape except through me as I fired my gun again closing off his escape all the incoming lasers hit dead on causing the LFO to explode. We all turned our attention to the White LFO that was fighting on even ground with TheEnd. Just then my seventh swell ran out as did everyone elses. Just then the white LFO took the chance to out maneuver TheEnd letting loose its whip as it wrapped around them as it got to pull back.
"Hell No!" as I opened the cockpit releasing a small orb this time as it hit his weapon separating the handle and the whip apart then before he could react I shot another orb at his cockpit as it dissolved the metal guarding his cockpit then I launched all my lasers and firing my main gun. She managed to dodge some but the rest hit her LFO's legs and the back of it causing it to dive bomb hitting the ground hard then coming to a slow stop. I flew down there as did everyone else as we all jumped out of our LFO's while I pointed a gun to emenies head.
"Come with us or I'll torture you to death." I stated with a scary look in my eyes causing her to literally cower in fear.
"Damn Coralians." She said
"It's only because of what you're doing. They wish peace with all of us." I stated coldly as she stood up putting her hands in the air while I walked up cuffing her then handing her off to Matthieu and Hilda
"Renton, Eureka, Dominic and Anemone I need you to follow me to the Tresor's medical bay now!" I stated as we both hopped back into our LFO's taking off to the medical bay building reaching it mere minutes later we landed quickly as I fired my weapons upon the rebel forces that were outside the building eliminating quite a few of them as the rest of them looked around then dropped their weapons holding their arms up.
"You four take care of them I'm going to save Amarante." I said as I jumped out of the cockpit hitting the ground hard then rolling as I stood up and began sprinting towards Amarante's room. The moment I came in I noticed the rebels were beating an unconscious Amarante. I didn't have to wait for my muscles to react.
"Die you fuckers!" I yelled as I ran up unsheathing the sword I had slicing the first person's head off as I went for the second person cutting off his arm that held the gun and his leg as the third person managed to get a few shots off hitting my chest dead on as I coughed up blood.
"NOOOO!" Amarante screamed as her eyes had shot open the moment I was shot as she grabbed the table that held all these sharp medical tools throwing it at the person while he was distracted with that I raised my hand firing a small orb at the gun then at his head as it enveloped both as he dropped to the ground blooding spilling all over the place. Just then Renton, Eureka, Dominic and Anemone ran into the room.
"Why'd you scream?" Anemone asked as their eyes fell upon on me.
"Hey everyone." I said grinning a bit as I fell to the ground coughing up more blood as Amarante quickly slid off the bed down to me as she looked at my wounds then at my face.
"Idiot! I won't let you die like this!" Amarante yelled as she concentrated then her hands began glowing brightly as she placed them on my wounds as they began healing my wounds at extremely fast speeds the orbs converged as her arm turned completely coralian and she gained wings but unlike Eureka's she had three like me but they were smaller than mine. After my wounds were completely healed she collapsed onto me leaving me stunned for a few moments trying to figure out what exactly happened.
"Amarante!" I said shacking her a bit then I checked her pulse seeing as her heart beat was still beating I released a breath I didn't know I was holding.
"Renton, Dominic can you put her back on her bed for me, please?" I asked as they nodded their head walking over lifting her up putting her on her bed then covering her up. Next they helped me up I was still quite sore from being shot but I just gritted my teeth. I noticed she was badly bruised all over her face and I didn't want to think how her body looked underneath her cloths. I'm just glad I made it here before they tried doing anything else.
"Whats happening outside?" I asked
"The rest of the army arrived subduing the rebel forces." Renton stated
"Good, let's go say hello to them. Dominic, Anemone could you stay behind and guard Amarante for me?" I asked as I grabbed one of the crutches I saw using it as support. I was still weak from the blood loose and the bullets I took.
"Yes, Sir." Dominic said still looking rather serious and pissed.
We walked outside as I noticed the military had the rebels under control. I walked up to one of them as he spat on me, I outright punched him.
"Just so you pathetic humans know the coralians you see before you have the ability to bring everyone that the scub coral absorbed back into this world once certain preparations are made!" I yelled to everyone as everyone's eyes were now on me with disbelief.
"Don't believe me then explain why I'm here from a different world. I never came from this world or from the scub coral." As I placed my hand on the rebels head concentrated hard on my memories as I unleashed them onto him but unknown to me it linked everyone together as they all saw my memories due to how close they were all grouped together. After a few minutes passed the memories ended. The rebels fell over but remained concious and stunned at what they saw.
"Now do you understand you stupid humans! You're lucky my future wife still lives or else I wouldn't be able to bring anyone back and I would personally kill all of you. I also need Renton, Eureka, Dominic and Anemone as well." I nearly yelled at the top of my lungs pointing to the other two as well.
"Next time you rebels foolishly attack this base I will kill all of you. I maybe the go between humans and coralians but I won't hesitate to kill either side if I have to." I stated glaring at the humans before me as they all looked away.
"Not even an apology, sad humans. You soldiers can do what you want with them I don't care." I said spitting back at the person's face as I turned around walking back inside the building to where Amarante lay. I failed to notice my comrades seemed a little hurt at my words because I said humans even though they knew It wasn't meant towards them it still hurt a bit. I entered back into the medical bay.
"Thanks Dominic and Anemone. You can go ahead and help Renton and Eureka." I said
"Will do." Dominic said as they both left the room.
I decided on sitting on the side of the bed while I moved a piece of hair out of Amarante's face as she stirred a bit slowly opening her eyes.
"Hey love. How do you feel?" I asked as she quickly sat up.
"Shawn, are you okay!" Amarante said as she looked me over feeling my shirt for any more wounds.
"I'm fine, love. You healed all my injuries." I said gently taking her hands in mine as she leaned forward laying her head on my chest as tears began falling from her beautiful eyes.
"I thought I was going to lose you!" Amarante said through sobs as I just remained silent releasing her hands and wrapping my arms around her gently. We stayed like this for a while. Once she quieted down she slowly moved her head away from my chest as I wiped the tears from her eyes.
"Your wings look beautiful. You're just like me now." I said as a gentle smile appeared on my face. Amarante looked to her side in the mirror that was on the wall. It revealed her wings as they were glowing just like mine except they were green with red veins through them and her arm. Her eyes widened quite a bit then she turned her head to me as she tightly embraced me while pressing her lips against mine. I could tell she was very happy with the outcome of what happened. Once she released my lips she slipped off the bed standing up and grabbed my hand forcing to me to stand up as I gave her a curious look but said nothing as we walked outside the building.
"You look so beautiful Amarante!" Anemone said running over nearly tackling her to the ground as she embraced Amarante.
"Thanks Anemone." Amarante said shyly
"I agree you look pretty." Both Renton, Dominic and Eureka said causing Amarante to blush even more.
"We apologize for what we did to all of you." One of the rebels said
"Words can't fix what has happened but what can be done is serve the military in fighting Dewey then you all shall be rewarded then." I said
"How?" Another asked
"I'll be sure to bring your family back that was lost due to the summer of love." I stated as they all nodded.
"Let's go all of you." A soldier said to the rebels as they did what they were told. The soldier saluted me as I did the same.
"Keep up the good work soldier." I said
"Yes, Sir!" He replied as he marched them into one of the airships storing areas.
"Sorry about my harsh words earlier. They weren't directed at any of my comrades." I said smiling my usual smile.
"It's okay, Shawn. We already know that." Eureka said.
"Anyways seeing as Amarante is awake this calls for a party!" I said raising my fist up in the air and shouting as everyone else followed suit.
"Can you all start the planning and asking the officials you asked last time?" I asked
"Sure shawn!" Anemone said happily as she grabbed her lovers hand rushing off while Dominic was almost being dragged behind her causing me to laugh hard at the scene.
"We'll cover the planning." Eureka said happily as she grabbed Renton's hand and slowly started walking towards the Gekko Go Storage Hanger on the base.
"What are you going to do, Shawn?" Amarante asked
"Hm, well I know I need to report to Holland about the situation then we can do whatever you'd like." I said as this earned a big smile from Amarante
"Okay! Let's hurry up then!" Amarante said grabbing my hand then literally dragging me towards the Gekko Go.
"Whoa slow down." I said laughing at how enthusiastic she was acting.
"But I want you to myself." Amarante pouted a bit causing a multitude of thoughts to run through my head
"Alright, let's run then." I said as she began running as did I. She seemed to be all smiles now. She even gave off a more pleasant aura due to her transformation making her even more beautiful if that was even possible. We reach the bridge on the Gekko go trying to catch our breath.
"Amarante, you're awake! And what happened?" Talho said in a shocked tone
"I saved Shawn from dying by healing him and I transformed into this." Amarante said happily as she smiled ear to ear.
"How come she's so happy?" Talho asked looking at me
"I think because I said her form made her look very beautiful." I said staring at her still being captivated by how she was now shining.
"Being young is great." Talho said winking at me as I just shook my head
"Anyways Holland would you like the report?" I asked as I looked over at Holland
"Go ahead, kid." Holland said as I informed him of everything that transpired.
"You captured one of those kids?" Holland asked sounding amazed
"Well it was like 5 on 1 plus using my power so it's to be expected." I said shrugging as Holland thought for a moment then nodded his head in agreement.
"Where's the kid at now?" Holland asked
"Matthieu and Hilda have her captive as we speak." I said
"Very well. Thanks for the report Shawn, you're dismissed. Go spend sometime with Amarante she seems very antsy." Holland stated as I looked over at Amarante as she ran up grabbing my hand then began running off with me.
"Hey doggie I'll go lifting with you a bit later. Could probably do some moonlight lifting as there should be a nice moon ou…." I said being interrupted by Amarante yelling.
"Thanks Dad!" Amarante yelled back as she started dragging me to the forest with me.
'This side is really cute.' I thought chuckling mentally.
"So where are we going?" I asked
"It's a surprise!" She said with a wide happy grin on her face causing me to laugh a bit.
"A surprise it is then!" I said with just as much enthusiasm as she laughed a bit
"It's nice to have ya back." I said wrapping my arm around her side bringing her side close to me.
"I'm glad to be back." Amarante said happily as the rest of the time it remained silent as we neared the forest I realized where she wanted to go now.
"The forest, eh? Very nice choice." I said as Amarante gave me another smile.
We reached the forest then walked for a little bit coming to grassy part with the trees covering the area but allowing some sunlight to shine through onto the grass. Amarante led me off the path and into this grassy area as she laid down motioning for me to laid down as well. I joined her on the ground laying next to her looking up into the trees. I noticed it was absolutely beautiful with how the sun shone through the branches from above. Amarante and I didn't say a word as we enjoyed the atmosphere. Amarante decided to take the initiative this time rolling over on top of me quickly kissing me then rested her head onto my chest listening to my heart beat. We stayed like this for what seemed like forever as we almost fell asleep I heard someone walking up the path. I looked over to reveal Dominic, Anemone, Eureka and Renton. They raised their hands up telling me to shush as I slowly nodded my head as they all laid down like Amarante and I looking up through the trees.
"Is she asleep?" Anemone asked
"Nope. Just enjoying my time with Shawn." Amarante replied happily
"This is a really pretty area. How'd you guys find it?" Eureka asked
"When I was in a coma my spirit was able to float around so I went exploring. I think you all call it an out of body experience." Amarante said
"Yep that's the correct term." I stated
"It was an interesting experience." Amarante said
"I bet." I replied
"Not to interrupt you're one on one conversation but we got the okay for the party. We came to get the both of you to help with the preparations for the party." Dominic said as Amarante and I just nodded
"Ya know you really fail at reading the atmosphere. We'll do it in a bit I'm going to enjoy this moment for now." I said while Anemone hit Dominic hard in the arm for being so dense as he looked clueless causing me to chuckle a bit.
Everyone after that went silent as we all enjoyed the sounds of nature ignoring the world around us. It was one of the most serene moments I've experience in my life. There wasn't a lot so finding these moments always made life really enjoyable. We all dosed off while someone in the background was watching us then turned around walking away back to the base. "Damn kids acting all carefree." He huffed.
Meanwhile the Izumo landed on the Tresor base with orders from head quarters. Jurgens walked off the ship and headed straight for the Gekko Go. He went to the bridge to find Holland deep in thought about what to do next.
"Thinking hard enough Holland." Jurgens said with a smug look
"Shut up. Why are you here?" Holland asked curiously
"I have orders from the higher ups." Jurgens stated as Holland just groaned
"What are they?" Holland asked
"You all are on standby until we find the location of Dewey. You are to stay on base or close to it." Jurgens stated
"Finally a fucking break!" Holland said exhaling rather loudly as Jurgens just laughed a bit.
"Let's have a beer then!" Holland said rather more upbeat then usual
"Alright." Jurgens said as Holland headed to the kitchen followed by Jurgens. They spent a few hours sharing military stories and the things they've seen plus the plans for after this war.
Meanwhile back to our hero from the 20th Century. I opened my eyes to notice that a few hours had probably past as the sun had shifted more. I looked around and noticed everyone else was still here plus Jan, Tory, Kamin and Rya, this brought a smile to my face to see that they got along really well. I looked down at Amarante as I noticed her eyes were open staring at me.
"Enjoying the view princess." I said with royal tone while winking
"Well of course, my prince." Amarante retorted mildly grinning while I couldn't help but laugh a bit as everyone was awake now.
"Sorry, Sorry." I said as I slowly sat up repositioning Amarante so she was laying across my lap while my left arm supported her back and her arms around my neck.
"Well who wants to start getting the things ready for the party?" I asked as everyone nodded their eyes still sleepy looking from the afternoon nap.
"How long did we sleep?" Amarante asked
"Probably a few hours due to how the sun shifted." I said as Amarante looked up then nodded her head.
"So I was thinking the party should happen tomorrow night or the night after, that way we have a chance to plan everything so it's perfect." I said
"I agree." Renton said
"Well let's head to the hanger then and begin setting up." I said as I looked at Amarante who obviously didn't want to get up giving me this look she was now curious as to what I was going to do. I slowly moved her off of me then lifted her up bridal style very quickly causing her to squeak a bit gaining everyone's attention as she blushed a deep red.
"Cute." I said she smacked my arm while I started walking back to the Tresor with a very amused smirk on my face.
The rest of the evening was filled with moving tables and chairs into the hanger setting them up then moving out the DJ gear again and the stage. We had a bit of trouble setting up the stage and the gear but managed to get it right after three tries. After that I let everyone listen through my ipod to find some music they liked to play during the dance. We decided on having some alcoholic drinks during the party as well with tons of food. A few of the Tresor staff members informed us of some other lasers and such for DJ's use. We grabbed the lasers setting those up as well. We finally reached a stopping point around 11 at night.
"Phew that was a nice day's work." I said
"Speak for yourself." Anemone said fanning herself with her hand
"I agree Anemone." Dominic said as Renton nodded while Eureka just kept quiet enjoying everyone's company.
"Are we lacking in the muscle department much?" I said teasing the two guys while they just huffed as I started laughing at their reaction.
"I had fun. You should spend more time with us." Rya and Kamin said in unison.
"Once this war is over, Amarante and I will spend lots of time with the both of you." I said happily which brought a small smile to their faces.
'Interesting they seem to show emotion towards their own kind but towards humans they lack the emotions, weird but I guess it's to be expected.' I thought thinking back about how Eureka acted though I decided not to think on it too much.
"Shawn can we head back to the Gekko Go?" Amarante asked as she looked really tired. I was surprised she kept up with all us even though she had just recovered, I felt a little bad for not having her sit back and relax but I knew she wanted to help.
"Sure, Love." I said getting up extending my hand to help her up as she took it while I lifted her up to her feet.
"I'll see ya'll tomorrow." I said as I patted the heads of Kamin and Rya as Amarante then intertwined her hand with mine as we started walking to the ship.
"See ya Shawn!" Dominic and Renton yelled
"Have a good night, Shawn." Anemone said winking at the both of us with this smug grin on her face.
"Night you two." Eureka said in her usual kind tone as Kamin and Rya just bowed a bit then headed back to their room not saying anything to the other people. Unbeknowst to Shawn Kamin and Rya held a special place for him but not in a romantic way but more like a big brother although they themselves didn't know what this feeling was or why they felt this way but they felt nothing towards anyone else including Amarante.
We reached the ship as I remembered my promise to James.
"Hey Amarante remember my promise to James?" I asked as she gave me this clueless look./
"Moondoggie." I said as it looked like a light bulb went off in her head.
"Oh him, yes I do remember. Want to go moonlight lifting?" Amarante asked
"Sure, let's go get him seeing as I have enough strength to do that." I said smiling, so Amarante and I went to James room to find him waxing his board. I knocked on the wall getting his attention.
"Hey man, ready to go lifting?" I asked
"Sup dude! Yeah, Gidget's going to come with too, if you don't mind?" James asked
"Nope I don't mind and Amarante wanted to come too." I said pointing next to me.
"Alright, go get your boards and we'll meet you outside." James said as I nodded my head. Amarante and I headed to our room grabbing our boards then hurried outside. I could tell tonights trapar was a splendid one.
"You're in for a treat doggie. There's some quality trapar in this area now." I said grinning
"I like the sounds of this. Let's party!" James yelled as we all started running then hoped onto our boards. I spead out my wings to help gain altitude a bit better and I noticed Amarante was using her wings to do the same but was a bit clusmier at it seeing as those wings were new. I noticed a few people watching from below. They ran into the Gekko Go then came out catching the waves as well then a few more came out and bunch of people from the Tresor's buildings poured out and caught the trapar as I smiled. James looked over at me and noticed I was smiling then looked around noticing probably thirty people gaining altitude till they reached us. I noticed the entire crew of the Gekkostate was up here, Morita, Dr. Bear and many other Tresor employees. I waved at them as they waved back. This made the night the best as we were lifting in the moon light the scene from the ground look liked a bunch of green waves streaking across the night sky as the moon outlined the boards and the people riding them. We were up there for a good hour as Amarante and I decided it was time to head to bed as we dropped off our boards grabbing them in the process then spreading our wings fully we flew down to the ground then walked into Gekko Go deciding we actually needed a bath we headed to that area.
"Hey Amarante I'm going to take a bath before heading to bed since I'm all sweaty." I said
"Okay I'll come in with you." Amarante said as I quite literally stopped in my tracks
"What?" Amarante asked
"Alright, I don't see a problem." I said as Amarante just smiled. 'I'll be keeping a towel wrapped around me for this bath time.' I thought it seemed like Amaranate had a similar idea. When we reached the undressing room, she removed everything then wrapped a towel around herself as did I.
"Had the same idea as me, eh?" I said chuckling a bit
"Very funny." Amarante teased back
"Amarante now has some spunk in her. Meow!" I said as she began laughing at me trying to do a sexy meow.
"Glad I make a good entertainer!" I said bowing gracefully then walked over to the shower area wetting myself down as Amarante sat behind me and did the same then soaping ourselves up and washing it off. After that I wrapped the towel around me again then dipped into the bathtub which was quite warm. Amarante did the same thing dipping in sitting next to me.
'You have no idea how much self control I have to use Amarante.' I thought but on the outside I was perfectly calm well except for one part that seemed to gradually grow in length.
'Thank god you can't see this Amarante. Explaining this would be kind of embarrassing.' I thought. It seems I spoke too soon as she did look down into the water and she started blushing a bit.
"Um, So your body wants to reproduce with me?" Amarante said as I instantly got red in the face.
"UHHHHHHH, basically I have a major attraction towards you but I don't think were ready for such things, yet." I said as Amarante actually began thinking.
"I agree but can you sleep in your boxers more often?" Amarante said as her cheeks were tinted a bit more red now. I honestly didn't know what to say or where that question even came from so I just nodded.
"Anyways looking forward to the party?" I asked trying to change the subject to a less awkward one.
"I am!" Amarante said excitedly causing me to chuckle a bit.
"Are you looking forward to it?" Amarante asked looking at me
"Of course anything I get to do with you I always look forward to." I said smiling as she blushed a bit again.
"Same here." She said smiling shyly causing her to look very cute.
"Wanna hop out so we can head to bed?" I asked
"Okay let's head to bed." Amarante said as she stood up climbing out of the tub wrapping the towel around herself.
"Coming?" Amarante asked as I grabbed my towel standing up and wrapping it around me in a fluid motion. Lucky for me my excited lower half had finally gone down. The moment I stepped out I ended up slipping and slamming into Amarante as we both went down. Somehow she managed to land on top of me while I was on the bottom. She remained there a bit stunned until she finally came to her senses and quickly climbed out.
"I'm sorry Shawn! Are you okay?" Amarante asked
"I should be sorry. Yep." I said chuckling a bit at how clumsy I had been.
We both got up then walked into the changing room as we dried ourselves off then I put my cloths on as Amarante did the same. As we were exiting the changing room we ran into Renton, Eureka, Dominic and Anemone as they all gave us this look.
"Don't even say it. Nothing happened." I stated as I gently grabbed Amarante's hand as she took this cue to begin walking quite fast before they could say anything else.
"HUE! HUE!" Anemone yelled down the hall which got both of us a bit red in the face.
We finally made it into my room as the door closed behind us, we both looked at each other then started laughing. We couldn't figure out why we were laughing but we were.
"I swear those four they just love to embarrass us. I'll have to get them back later and I know exactly how." I said as Amarante looked at me
"How?" She asked
"I heard them having some fun in their rooms and once in the bath area." I said with a wide mile grin as Amarante again started laughing.
"Anyways wanna undress and climb into bed?" I asked as Amarante nodded her head turning around as I stripped myself down to my boxers as she did the same. I climbed into bed and looked up at her noticing her undergarments were blue.
"You really like that color, don't you?" I asked as she turned around nodding her head happily.
"What about you?" She asked acting a bit shy.
"Yep I do. It suites you." I said smiling as she climbed into bed as she scooted herself again my chest and brought one of my arms around her stomach area as her hand intertwined with mine.
"Good night, love." I said
"Good night, my prince." She replied as we slowly drifted off to sleep.

A/N: The Bath Scene was my favorite humor scene to write XD!
