Chapter 15: A Family

3rd POV

Kale and Katie appeared back on the Lookout. It was night, and Megan had fallen asleep while waiting. Crystal stood and ran to Kale, wrapping her arms around his neck.

"I told you I was coming back." Kale said, squeezing the girl.

The two suddenly pulled away and turned red. Katie smiled, remembering how she and Mirai were like that at first.

'Kale… remember this… remember these sweet days with Crystal. These days don't come as often after you Bond.'

"I think it'll be a while before we even think of that."

'You do? You think I planned on Bonding with Mirai during our first time together? Never put love in stone. I never thought Mirai and I would be together… never thought we'd have sex or Bond, at least if we did we'd be married first. So remember that.'

"Well Kale, I guess this is it. I'll be watching over all of you, but I have duties to attend to now. Watch over those two, Kale. And Crystal? Teach him how to fly."

"Yeah… sure." And just like before, she completely disappeared, "What was that all about?"

"Nothing you need to worry about."

"So now what do we do?"

"Well… you still have your ship, don't you?" Kale asked. Crystal's eyes lit up. Kale smirked, loving it when her eyes did that.

"Yeah, I do!"

"Then I say we all go home. To New Life, to start a new life together. We'll be a… family."

Just like I've always wanted…

AS22: So Kale, Megan, and Crystal went to New Life. Katie began the Angel again. You know something's up with that, right? Well, you'll just have to find out, won't ya?
