Hasbro owns Transformers and the name Xanthium, Lego owns Bionicle and the names Jala and Ketongu, and Galem owns Tali, Ava, Amber, Iris, Diego, Alyan, Adhira, Valera, and Kasar. Also, there are a couple paragraphs regarding the topic of sex, but nothing bad enough to give this story a mature rating. It's simply thoughts on the concept, and being prepared financially for the possible aftermath and that's really it.

Chapter 36: Home visit 1/3

Amber smiled brightly as she led Pow to her two story mansion. Of course, it belonged to her parents and she had lived here for most of her life. Happily, she danced up the steps, earning a chuckle from Pow and unlocked the door. "Well, here we are." She grinned. "This is my house."

Pow gladly followed her in, then gazing around the house's interior. The entire first floor of the house was covered in redwood flooring, which was cut to perfectly surround the marble pillars with gold trimmings that held up the ceiling in the living room area, and the walls were all white stone. On the ceiling that stretched over the centered wooden staircase, hung four crystal chandeliers which gleamed beautifully in the lowering sunlight. In the far right wall of the living room, was a marble fireplace with plant-like engravings in the sides. Pow tilted his head a bit to get a better look into the kitchen behind the staircase. The kitchen had white granite counter tops, a wooden table with silver and crystal candle holders centered on it, and a wooden shelf against the wall decorated with white China and porcelain, next to a recently cleaned sliding glass door.

"It's beautiful". Pow commented. Then giving her a quick peck on the cheek: "But it's not as beautiful as YOU are".

Amber chuckled as she blushed cherry red at the compliment. "Thank you." She glanced around the house for a moment, listening carefully. "Looks like Dad isn't home yet." Then turning to grab Pow's arm she continued with a mischievous smile. "My room is up this way."

Pow blinked for a moment. "Wait your dad? You room"? Then with a smirk, he teased: "Are you trying something"?

Though Pow was willing to give Amber children after their wedding day, that was really the only time he was willing to do that. Ever since he had learned what reproduction was, his parents had taught him to save it for the marriage bed, and he didn't dare second guess that statement. Besides, Pow had always felt it was better to wait till marriage to have children, because then that meant both participants were ready to raise a child financially and emotionally. Plus, the fact that nobody was even closed to prepared to raise a child as a teen might have helped a bit too.

Even if Pow WAS that kind of person, he had no idea who Amber's dad was. All Amber had really told him was that he was a very skilled Toa, and probably wouldn't hesitate to put a beating on anyone who even looked at her the wrong way. Which didn't surprise Pow as Amber was very beautiful and any male would be lucky to have her. But some guys were very deceptive and willing to get what they wanted from a woman however they thought possible. That being said, Pow again couldn't blame Nuju for being so protective over her, and to be honest he would probably have the same level of protectiveness over her should the right situation arise. Pow was even willing to die for her if he had to. No way was he going to let anyone hurt her.

"No, my collection is in my room." Amber laughed, knowing what he had meant.

Pow instantly slumped in relief. "Shoo! I'm sorry, but I was actually scared for a second".

Amber giggled as she lead him up the stairs to the second floor.

Upon reaching this floor, Pow was once again impressed. Carpets white as snow covered the floor, a long blue rug runner centering itself in the left hall. On both sides of the hall where there wasn't a door, were mahogany tables with oriental vases and dolls from Japan and China. The next thing that caught Pow's attention was the ceiling, 3D painted to look like a clear blue sky. But what caught his attention more, was the numerous pictures framed on the walls of Amber with her friends and parents, smiling happily.

Pow smiled at this as he commented: "Wow. Outside the war you look a lot happier than me".

That wasn't to say that Pow was never happy, as he did spend time with his friends in times where there wasn't a war. This was not often however as Pow was a bit of an introvert, and therefore did not do much with his free time, and he definitely wasn't going to try to invest himself into a sport like his parents Hewkii and Macku had been trying to do. Pow had actually gotten into boxing when he was younger, rather ironic considering his name, but he hadn't gotten into that for a while. But now that he and Amber were dating, Pow was getting out of his introversion habits, and it made his friends and family very happy for him, even though Pow had been an introvert by choice and not out of depression, which his parents had also constantly asked him. 'Plus, Amber is too hot and likable for me to not want to hang out with her'. Pow thought.

Amber smiled at the pictures as well. "Yeah, before the war and before Mom left with Aunt Adhira." Her gaze shifted to rest fondly on the whit Ko-Toa in the picture. "That's my dad, Nuju, by the way."

Pow laughed a bit at that. Then upon seeing Amber's raised eyebrow, he explained: "I'm sorry it's just... It just so happens that Nuju is one of Maze's heroes. He's practically the reason why he became a nerd. Other than being the son of Mazeka".

Pow wasn't even joking about that. Back when he had first met Maze in school, he would always try to talk about Nuju and how he was one of the most intelligent Toa on the team of the Toa Metru, and the genius things he did for the team, as a matoran, and as a Turaga. Honestly it annoyed Pow quite a bit at first, but as he got to know him, it was actually still annoying but he became more tolerant. He sure did get a laugh out of how much it had annoyed Edward though.

Amber giggled. "I'm sure Dad will be happy to hear that." She lead him down the hall a bit more before stopping at a door. "This is it. This is my room." She announced with a smile as she swung the door open.

The inside of the room looked like the inside of a diamond for the most part. Jewels and gemstones twinkled and shimmered in the light. Chords of clear crystals stretched across the ceiling from which smaller crystals dangled. Ropes of yellow topaz, citrine, pink diamonds, rubies and amethysts wrapped around her bedposts, desk legs, and draped across her dresser.

Pow blinked in amazement as he continued to gaze at the sight. "Whoa. Did YOU do this? This is amazing".

Amber chuckled as she walked in and sat at her desk, taking in her handiwork. "Thank you. I'm glad you like it." She smiled before opening a drawer to pull out the small box nestled inside.

Pow noticed the box immediately, and waited patiently for Amber to reveal what it was.

Amber smiled as she opened the box and pulled out a bracelet made of tiger's eye("Ew"! #Z), golden amber, turquoise and white crystals which she offered to him. "This is for you." She said, smiling inwardly at being able to pull off her trick with the box as the bracelet had been in her subspace the whole time. She just used the box as a distraction so she could pull it out.

Pow took the bracelet gladly and put it around his wrist as he commented: "It's beautiful". Then planting a kiss on the cheek of her Huna: "Thanks".

"You're welcome." Amber purred, before then raising her arm to show the matching bracelet on her wrist.

Pow smirked at the sight. "Oh, so this is like a promise thingy"? Then with a wider smirk, he teased: "I didn't think you were THAT attached to me".

"In a way." Amber chuckled at his tease. "I started making them after what happened on the plane when we...you know." The memory of their shared confession made her face turn red again. She had been surprised when he had admitted to liking her and figured she could turn the bracelet she had made into something better for the man who actually wanted to be with her.

Pow blushed a little at this memory as well as he held Amber close and responded: "I'm sorry that came out in the way it did".

Pow hadn't been sorry that he confessed to liking her, if that were the case he wouldn't be with her now. But he was a bit ashamed of himself for admitting his feelings in the circumstances that he had. Since they had become friends the very day before that, admitting his secret so soon was a risk. Matter of fact, Pow was surprised that Amber hadn't run away in fright. Most girls he knew would have been creeped out by this. For Pow to have gained the heartlight of a female like Amber was truly a blessing.

"I am, too. But it was what I needed to stop running from how I felt for you." Amber smiled softly up at him.

Pow smiled back and responded: "Same here"., before then pulling Amber into a hug, and planting a soft kiss on her lips. "I love you".

"I love you too." Amber returned the kiss and hugged him back. 'And I want to spend the rest of my life with you. After we win this war.'

Biomarvel740: Lego owns Hewkii, Macku, Nuju, and the Toa Metru. Also, earlier this year on March 5th, 2018, Galem saw Ironman (Owned by Marvel/Disney) for the very first time. XD lol!

Galem: (rolls eyes) Seriously? Why is that cause for celebration?

Biomarvel740: Because almost everyone else has seen it! Lol! But give us your thoughts on it, what did you think?

Galem: Why are you putting me in the spot light?! (hides) I thought it was a good movie.

Biomarvel740: Why did you think it was a good movie?

Galem: It was a lot better than what I thought it would be. Iron Man certainly wasn't as egotistic in the beginning as I thought he would be. And...his armor testing was hilarious, especially his first one.

Biomarvel740: (Chuckles) I agree. (To the readers) What did you guys think of Ironman? Also, what did you all think of the chapter?

Galem: Please leave a review to let us know or pm either of us if you have any questions.

Biomarvel740: We thank you all for reading-

Galem: and please...

Biomarvel740 and Galem: Have a God-blessed day! XD :D
