Pinkamena sat in a chair, looking around Inky's room. She clearly saw signs of a normal teenage girl. She smiles. Her daughter was growing up the right way. Inky sat on her bed, looking nervous. Pinkamena has never seen her like this. But she knew she needs some time and waited.
"Mom, how did you deal with your lovesickness from Dad?" Inky finally asked.
Pinkamena had to think about that. Though her lovesickness fade when she turns 21, she could still remember all the actions she performs under it.
"It wasn't easy. My sexual desires took over every time I thought of your father. I didn't care that we were enemies. I wanted him, and no one was going to stop me. He never hated me for it. Even after learning what I had, he still loved me. When I had Sue, we were happy. I wanted to be a good mother." She said.
Inky looks down and Pinkamena saw she was scared. Truthfully, Pinkamena couldn't blame her.
"Inky, I know you're a smart girl and an amazing fighter. I'm pleased that you are going over plans to keep yourself under control long enough to take a pill and find someplace to keep people from seeing you. I wish it was the same with me, though." She said.
"Wait, you mean?" Inky asked.
"Your father would stop me first. My lovesickness was worst than yours. I couldn't go past a day without your father. He was so amazing." Pinkamena smiles.
"MOM!" Inky blush.
Pinkamena laughs.
"Sorry, but there are many things about the lovesickness that even I don't know. Like I told you before, I thought your sisters Blinky or Pinky would get it. Hearing that you have it was a surprise." She said.
"What about Grandma?" Inky asked.
"She never spoke about it. Even after I seek out when I learn I had it. She kept dodging the question." Pinkamena sighs.
"Does anyone know about it?" Inky asked.
"I don't know. And there is no way I'm asking the Watchers. Stupid Rule Following Freaks. Thinking I shouldn't have children after what I did." She growls.
"What?" Inky asked.
"When all of the Ghost Zone learned I was pregnant, they try to stop Sue from being born. I had to hide away when I had to give birth to her. It was the same with all of you. And others blaming you five for my crimes?! I couldn't let that stand. Not even the Watchers were safe from my earth." Pinkamena said.
Inky then reaches over and opens her dresser. She pulls out a notebook and hands it to her mother.
"What's this?" She asked.
"My notes. I've tried to write to you for years, but I didn't send any of them. I was afraid that you wouldn't get them or didn't care. I know you love us, but..." She said before Pinkamena hugs her.
"Inkamena, I would never ignore these letters. If my daughter is trying to reach out to me, then I will do the same. Even as I was making up my crimes, you five were always on my mind. Each time I would do something to fix my mistakes my thought was 'I'm doing this for my daughters. I'm going to be a great mom when I see them again.' You five were my greatest joy." She said.
Inky blinks before hugging her back. Pinkamena broke the hug but kept her hand on her shoulders.
"Inky don't ever let your fear make you think the worst would happen. If even you became pregnant after your first time, I would never be disgusted with you. I wouldn't turn away my daughter or grandchild. All five of you might have been born from my lovesickness, but I still love and care for you all. However, keep using protection. You're only 15, young lady!" She said.
Inky couldn't help but laugh at that. Pinkamena laughs as well before sitting on the bed.
"Inky, I know you love Danny and would never hurt him of your own free will. Your sisters told me that you had the biggest crush on him than the others. Just know, if you two ever plan on tieing the knot in the future, I fully approve of it." Pinkamena said.
"We got a long way to go before then." Inky blushes.
"Good. So how was he?" Pinkamena smirks.
"MOM!" Inky shouted, making her laugh again.
Later...
Clyde shows her mother the gym she was working on, and Pinkamena smiles at the place. There were a few weights, some machines, and even a punching bag. It wasn't finished, but it was getting somewhere. Clyde smiles, glad to see her mother was okay with the place. Made her wonder how her mother became a supervillain in the first place. Clyde then thought back to her older sister Sue. Sue had followed their mother's old life. She also remembers how her Uncle Ink thought she was right in her choice. It reminds her of when she almost join Sue.
Pinkamena notices her youngest daughter's smile faded and grew a little worried.
"Clyde, are you okay?" She asked.
"Mom, why did you rage war on the Ghost Zone? Glob said that you were tired of being looked down on." She asked.
Pinkamena sighs and had them sit on a bench. Pinkamena took a huge breath and faces her daughter.
"Glob is half-right. There was another reason. Many thought I was some kind of whore because of how I dress. They thought I was nothing more than a plaything for them. I thought all of the Ghost Zone saw me like that. I wanted to get back at them and, somewhere along the way, I thought everyone was out to get me. I declare war on the Ghost Zone, not only to rule it but to show I'm no one's plaything." She said.
Clyde looks surprised at that. She then looks down and sighs.
"I almost join..." She mutter.
"What?" Pinkamena asks, confused.
"I almost join Sue. I was going to help her take over the Ghost Zone. I almost broke my sister's hearts." She said, looking ready to cry.
Pinkamena was surprised. She never saw Clyde ready to break down before. She was always told that Clyde was a tough girl, ready to fight anything and laugh in its face. Pinkamena places a hand on her shoulder, and she looks at her.
"Clyde, I have stated that I'm proud of each one of you. However, I'm not proud of Sue." She said.
"You're not?" Clyde asked.
"No. Back when I was still raging war in the Ghost Zone, I actually tried to get my siblings to join me. Inkros was close, but I could still see the hurt look on Susan's face. We're close before that. I look up to her. She was my role model. I might not be as flirty as her or your sister Blinky, but I wanted to be much like her. Each time we fought, I could see the heartbreak in her. Though I try to play off as nothing, I, too, would break down after leaving. There is no more than hurting family that makes you second guess yourself. I always told my army to leave my family to me. I couldn't bear the thought of my siblings beat and hurt by someone that doesn't know them. When I heard Sue pick up where I left off, I was heartbroken that she would do that. She...she let the same darkness take ahold of her like me." Pinkamena said, sadly.
Clyde was surprised to hear that. Her mother broke her own sibling's hearts. And she regrets her choice. Pinkamena thens and smiles at her.
"I'm glad you saw what could happen if you sided with Sue. You might be the youngest, but you have a big heart. No matter what, keep your sisters safe." She said.
"I will," Clyde said before they share a hug.
They broke and Pinkamena walks up to the sandbag.
"Well then, let's see how much stronger really gotten!" She said, making Clyde jump up.
Pinkamena grabs the bag as Clyde started to punch it. Pinkamena smirks as she felt the blows in the bag. She also notices that her punches were more forced than the last time she saw her. She then smirks as she recalls hearing something from her brother.
"So Clyde, what's this I heard about you and Danny proving a rumor known as the Sex Connet?" She asked.
Clyde was caught by surprise by the question. She misses the sandbag and trips over a weight on the ground, and crashes into the wall. Pinkamena grew worried and quickly check on her daughter.
"I'm okay!"
Pinkamena helps her up and Clyde's face turns red.
"MOM! That was an accident! We didn't know if it was true!" She yelled.
Pinkamena, though worry that Clyde hurt herself, couldn't help but laugh at her youngest face.
"I'm not upset. Your Uncle told me everything. As I told your sisters, I'm happy you got someone to love you. I even heard that Danny came to your recuse in the Ghosty Hang Out." Pinkamena said.
"Damn jerks! They thought I wasn't good enough for Danny." Clyde groans.
"Don't listen to them. I know how much he loves all four of you. I'm glad he's not letting my past ruin your relationship with him." Pinkamena said.
"Well, Danny did say even if I did join Sue and notices my mistake, he would still forgive me," Clyde said.
"And that's why I think he perfect for you and your sisters," Pinkamena said.
"You're not going to do anything to him, are you?" Clyde asked.
"Me? No! Why would I?" Pinkamena said, faking a hurt look.
"Mom, Dad told us about your little tricks. If you do anything to him, we'll..." Clyde started.
"Relax! I would never hurt someone that won all four of your hearts." Pinkamena laughs.
Clyde sighs and shook her head. Sometimes, her mother still has a bit of evil in her.
Okay, Part 3 is done. However, I can't shake the feeling I'm missing something in Pinkamena and Inky part. I don't know what that is, though. Thanks to Jack Firerage for the idea for Clyde and her mom. Not done with Pinkamena yet. The next chapter is going to be her spending time with Danny. I'm also trying to bring back the Power Berries from Pac-Man and the Ghostly Adventures, but I having trouble remember the Power Berries that are in the show. I'm using the common berries, by the way. No ancient berries or planet berries.
