DarkLink313: Okay, Violet's not going to be alone anymore. Since they get to take a break until its their turn, the three characters from FF-Zero that have yet to be introduced are going to help. If you're not familiar with them, just ask me.

Violet: So...there're four of us now?

Jasmine: Seems that way.

Trinity: Violet! You've got light magic!

Violet: Uh...yes? Why?

Trinity: Me too! We're like sisters!

Violet: She's creeping me out...

Clair: sighs Ignore her...she's just excited. She's ALWAYS excited.

Jasmine: Hard to believe she's a Paladin...

Violet: Yeah, I guess. Anyway, let's just start chapter 6. No lemon in this chapter, but there WILL be on in chapter 7. This chapter doesn't even have Tim in it!

Clair: Well then...what's the dchapter about?

Violet: You'll see.

Chapter 6: Advice

When the sun came up, Alex got dressed and walked downstairs. Sunday morning was usually boring, since nobody wanted to go back to school the next day. As for Alex, she was eager to try and get advice on her relationship with her mom, whom she felt was probably the most reliable source of information. Alex found her mom in the kitchen making breakfast.

"Morning, Alex." her mom greeted, "I hope you're hungry."

"I am, maybe just a little." Alex smiled, "What's for breakfast?"

"I thought I'd try this recipe I found for French Toast. You like French Toast, I hope?"
"I've only had it once before, and it was pretty okay."

"Good."

Alex's mom set a plate of French Toast in front of her daughter, and Alex looked down hungrily at the plate. The buttery brown toast was covered in a thin layer of white powder (no, not THAT kind!) and Alex's favorite type of syrup: Strawberry (after all, who says you can't have French Toast with strawberry syrup?). Alex dug in and ate the plate down heartily, and when she was done, her mom had taken up a seat across from her and was just starting her own plate.

"Wow, mom, "Alex smiled, "That was good."
"Why, thank you Alex." her mother grinned, "I'm glad you liked it."

Alex decided that now was the time to ask her mom a few questions, but decided that she had better let her finish breakfast first. Once her mom was done with her plate, she took both empty dishes, forks, and knives, and put the in the I have a talk with you?" Alex asked, "Like...a personal talk."

"Sure." her mom nodded, "Let's go in the den, first."

They went into the den, and took seats next to each other on the couch. Alex sighed, and began.

"Mom...I wanted to get some advice on...uh...sex..."

Her mother looked surprised, but not mad.

"What brings this on?" she asked, "Did Tim ask you to sleep with him?"

"No." Alex shook her head, "He's a good guy, mom...he doesn't act like that. I'm sure he's thought of it...and I wanted to get some advice for myself."

"Like how?"

"Well...I've been having these dreams...and in all of them...they end with me and Tim..."

"Oh...I see."

"What do they mean, mom?"

"I think you're becoming attracted to him in new ways, sweetheart." he mom explained as she put her hand on Alex's shoulder.

"I realize that...but what should I do?"

"The only advice I can give you is to follow your heart. You're 18 now, Alex. You're old enough to make your own decisions in life, and if this is one of them, it's entirely up to you."

"You mean...you don't mind?"

"It's going to happen eventually, and I'd rather have it happen with a boy that I approve of while I have the chance. You're right about Tim; he is a good boy. From the way I heard your friends talk about him, he's loyal to you."

"You...you heard us?"
"Well, I was sort of eavesdropping." her mom admitted with a sheepish grin, "I know, it was wrong to do, but I was curious as to what you and your friends talked about. They really are good friends, Alex."

"I know, mom." Alex smiled.

"If you want to take your relationship with him to the next level, by all means, it's your decision. The only think I want you to PROMISE me is that you'll use protection."

"Mom!" Alex said defensively, "What kind of thing is that to say?"

"Well, I realize you love him, but you don't want to lose your future because you two were irresponsible."

"Don't worry mom, I'll make sure." Alex assured her, "But...there is one more thing I wanted to know."

"Go ahead, shoot."

"Um...obviously this would be my first time...and I don't know anything." Alex blushed.

"Well, I think you're asking the wrong person for advice in that subject." her mom blushed, "I don't think either of us would feel confortable talking about what to do."

"You're right..." Alex nodded, "Well, I've made my decision. Still, I do want to go into it with a little prior knowledge..."

"What about your friend, Clover?" her mom noted, "From the way she talked, she's knowledgable. I don't approve of her activity, but I'm not her mother."

"Well...Clover does know a lot about sex..." Alex nodded, "Thanks, mom."

"No problem, sweetheart." her mom smiled.

They embraced emotionally.

"My little girl...they grow up so fast." her mom sniffed, "Why, just yesterday you were asking me for help on putting your first bra on..."

"Mom!"

Alex walked up to Clover's door and knocked. Clover answered, and smiled at the sight of her friend.

"Alex!" she greeted with a hug, "What brings you here?"
"Well...it's a long story. Can I come in?"

"Sure." Clover smiled, "My mom's out shopping and should be gone for a few hours. We have the entire house to ourselves."

"Okay." Alex nodded as she came in.

They sat on the couch, much like Alex and her mother had done just an hour before.

"So, what's happening?" Clover asked.

"Well, it's like this..." alex began, "I've made my decision, and I want to have sex with Tim..."

"Really?" Clover asked, astonished, "Did he ask you or something?"
"No...it's my own decision. I've been having these dreams, and at the end of every one, I succumb to Tim's tocuh and let him take me."

"Aww...my little Alex is growing up..." Clover cooed.

"That's what my mom said..." Alex smirked.

"You asked your mom?"

"I wanted to get an honest opinion of whteher it was the right thing to do. My mom said I'm old enough to make my own decisions, and that she'd rather it be Tim than someone that would only end up hurting me."

"Well, I guess I see your point." Clover sighed, "It's a little late for me, but I have no choice now. When I go to college, I can try to make a clean slate. But that's not why you're here, is it?"

"No...I was actually here to get some...uh...tips." Alex blushed.

"Tips?"

"I'm a virgin...and I don't want to go into battle without a gun, so to say."

"Well, my first tip is simple." Clover began, "You don't need any tips."

"What? But I want to know what to do!"

"If you're a virgin, Tim will probably enjoy knowing that you're an innocent girl that doesn't know what to expect. If you go into the bedroom blind, he'll walk you through it himself, and will enjoy it more, which will make YOU enjoy it more."

"I don't understand."

"Guys in general, yes, even Tim, feel a certain rush knowing they're planting their flag in virgin soil. To put it bluntly, guys enjoy sex as much with an inexperienced virgin as they would with the most hardcore porn star."

"Why?"

"Well, the ego boost that the girl wants to let him be her first is quite a perk-up. I remember my first time; I had no prior experience, either. But he walked me through it and enjoyed doing it. Guys like to show they know what they're doing."

"So...I should just go into it blindly? Just let Tim do everything?"

"Yeah, that's about it. After you've gone to that level, tell me. I'll help you out from there, if you really want to know. Who knows, you might actually like being the innocent girl that has little experience."

"Really?"

"Really."

"Thanks, Clover." Alex smiled with a hug, "You're the best."

"I know." Clover grinned, "Now, go find him. If he really loves you, he'll probably refuse at first, on the claim that he doesn't want to force you into anything. If you really want to, though, he'll give up in the end."

Alex stood up, went outside with a last wave to Clover, and hopped into her car. She had never been to Tim's house, but she knew where it was (he had pointed it outwhen they drove by on their first date). It was already early afternoon, and she had an idea of how to go about the act. They would go on a date, then come back to his house and she'd convince him to make her a woman.

"Tonight's the night, Alex." she said to herself, "Tonight, you're going to take that step and become a real woman."

Violet: She's more aggressive than i was.

Jasmine: That's because you have no initiative in this field.

Clair: Not like me. If Lance ever came to me wearing only a shirt and boxers, I'd be all over him.

Jasmine: Same here. He's a hunk.

Trinity: He likes my tail.

Clair: I bet he likes mine more.

Trinity: Why?

Cliar: Mine is longer, so when we're going at it, I can wrap it around his body.

Trinity: Cheater...

Violet: Well, now that that's settled, next chapter is the official lemon chapter! After that, chapter 8 is the LAST chapter! This will be DL's first fic he ever finished (altough all his other fics are still in working...ESPECIALLY FF-Zero)!

Trinity: Yay!
