Chapter 6: We Meet at Last

It was Wednesday now as Mothra packed up her notes from her professor's lecture on how traditional music effected modern pop songs. College had been going well so far for her, sure, she was absolutely drained of any energy by the end of the day, but she knew she'd get used to it eventually... or... at least she hoped she would, but her time on campus had been enjoyable overall. Today was special though, she'd spent what free time she had Tuesday to organize a lunch get together so that Moll and Lora could meet Megaguirus, Scylla, and Mutosan, she couldn't wait to get the five of them together. They had decided to meetup at the Western courtyard since it was a nice halfway point between where the two groups classes were that day. On the way Mothra met up with Moll and Lora, Moll waved hello while Lora laughed at something on her phone. "Hey you two!" Mothra greeted as she approached the twins, "I hope you're both excited to meet the others, and, again, I'm so sorry for the short notice." She apologized. "Meh, don't worry about it." Lora replied, "We were going to stop by and see if you wanted to hang out for lunch today anyway." "Indeed," Moll continued for her sister, "we've genuinely been looking forward to this today. It was honestly a bit disheartening that many of our friends chose not to come here with us, but new ones are just as welcome as old."

The three sat down and briefly chatted about their classes before Megaguirus, Scylla, and Mutosan arrived, "Oh, your just in time!" Mothra greeted the three. "Well, allow me to introduce you all. Megaguirus, Scylla, Mutosan, these two are Lora and Moll!" Mothra said with a bright smile, gesturing the three to her two lifelong friends, "We're very pleased to meet you." The twins responded in unison. The three stared at the duo dumbfounded as Megaguirus leaned towards Mothra "Not to be rude, but uuuhhh... do they always-" she started quietly before being cut-off when she noticed Lora stifling a laugh while Moll snickered. "Oh, you three actually fell for it!" Moll said, no longer able to hold in her laughter, "Please, forgive us." Lora continued, still attempting to hold it together, "Moll and I have a bit of a... tradition, I suppose... of introducing ourselves like that." "Oh thank god..." Mutosan sighed with relief, "for a second I thought I walked into one of my dads old horror movies." "I didn't think twins actually did that." Scylla said with profound interest, "I'd only ever seen in in manga's before.". Mothra beamed with joy as things already seemed to be off to a pretty good start, "I think the five of you will get along just fine.". Lora and Scylla got along rather quickly, as the more polite ones among Mothra's friends, as did the more outgoing trio of Moll, Megaguirus and Mutosan, with Mothra jumping between each groups conversations, just glad to be spending time with all five of them. "I've been rambling for a while though," Megaguirus ended her brief overview of American style Choppers, "how have you been doing butterfly?" she asked Mothra "No no no." Moll scolded with a devious grin on her face, "only Godzilla gets to call her by any special nicknames, isn't that right?" She teased, turning her head to Mothra, who blushed slightly at the sound of Godzilla's name, "Moll..." she whined as the other girls laughed and giggled at her reaction.

"Oh, while I've got you all here, here's something I'd like to ask." Mothra said to the group, "Goji and I want to see if we can all get together with him and the guys at some point." "The... guys huh..." Scylla said nervously, and looking at the ground. "Is something the matter Scylla?" Lora asked, "Ah, she gets nervous around boys." Megaguirus answered for her, "She can talk ABOUT them just fine, but actually talking TO them, she gets like this.". "She should be nervous," Moll said "These are bad guys, some of them have records and-" she stopped when she realized the looks she was getting and how Scylla seemed to shrink into herself, "Scylla, Scylla I'm kidding! Moll reassured her, "Mothra, Lora, and I have known Godzilla and his friends for years, their actually pretty good guys... mostly, Rodan can be a little dumb, but rest are fine! Besides, Mothra is head over heels for Godzilla, you know her, so that should tell you something." "Bad time for a bad joke." Lora scolded her twin, "I'm so sorry." Moll apologized. While Megaguirus and Moll started reassuring Scylla Mutosan continued the conversation with Mothra and Lora, "Well, I'm down for it if that helps." she said, attempting to get things back on track a bit, "Besides, I already wanted to meet and fight Godzilla anyway.", "I'm... not sure if he'll agree to fight you, but I'm glad your on board for this." Mothra thanked her. "Speaking of Godzilla," Lora interjected, "Mothra, do you know when his club meetings start?". "Yeah, we texted a little on Monday, He said that club starts on Friday. Why though?" Mothra replied, curious why that would matter to Lora, "Moll and I were talking last night, and we believe that, to help you get closer to Godzilla, it would be a good idea for you to visit him during his club hours." Lora responded. "WHAT?" Mothra cried in shock, "Ooooh, insider info!" Mutosan said with sudden interest. "Mutosan, please, not right now. Lora, Why?" said an exasperated and blushing Mothra, "Well for one, you aren't participating in any clubs yourself this year. Two, you and I both know he would greatly appreciate your support and company. And Three, you're in love with him, so shouldn't you be trying to spend time with him anyway?" Lora reasoned. "Well... I mean that's all true but..." Mothra tried to find a reason why not but came up empty handed, "I... I'll think about it" she said, admitting defeat. The girls parted ways a few minutes later, each headed off to their respective classes, though Mothra could only half focus as her mind battled with her desire to spend that time with Godzilla as Lora suggested, and her own insecurities about the idea. Later on, as Mothra sat in her last class for the day she received a text from Scylla.

Scylla: Ummm, please forgive me for earlier, I'm feeling better now. I gave it some more thought after Moll and Megaguirus' reassurance and... I'd be delighted to meet everyone when the time arrives!

Mothra smiled to herself, nodded and made her own decision as well, 'if Scylla can do it, then so can I!'.

Notes: I almost postponed this chapter till next week from a case of writers block, but after a couple days of rest I got it done. I hope you all enjoyed getting to see Mothra's group all gathered together like Godzila's group was back in Chapter 3.
