-Aftermath- Protectors of Balance Base-
A woman walked out of a Corridor of Light. She had light tan skin, with a small scar on her upper lip. She had dark brown eyes, and shoulder length dark red hair. She was dressed in a white blouse with a white and black jacket over it. She also wore a white trilby hat. Black pants, boots, and a belt with a Key-Chain hanging from it. She was holding a large book in her left hand. She looked around for a second before seeing Zack smiling at her.
"You're back!" Zack exclaimed, Fiona smirked at him, as she sauntered over to him.
"Of course I am. You ever doubt me?" Fiona asked, as she held up the book for a second before placing it on the desk in front of Zack, he smiled at her as she made her way next to him. He hugged her tightly.
"Of course I didn't, I was just happy to see you again." Zack told her, she smiled at him, and kissed him quickly, before she pulled away from him.
"I would love to watch you pour over that book, but I'm beat, so I'm gonna go take a nap." Fiona told him, he smiled at her.
"This book can wait… Vani, can you stay here and guard it?" Zack asked, Vani nodded obediently.
"Of course Sir. You two just relax." Vani said, Zack smiled and then he and Fiona left the room, heading for their bedroom.
"How did it go?" Zack asked, Fiona smiled.
"It went well actually. Yen Sid was more than happy to let us have the book."
"That's good." Zack told her, she smiled.
"I also got a message from Rose. She says that Ruby has a crush. On Violet." Fiona told him, Zack chuckled.
"Well isn't that something." Zack said, she smirked as he opened the door to their bedroom. Fiona walked in first, and Zack shut the boor once he was inside. Fiona let out a sigh, and took off her hat, setting it on her bedside table.
"I just wanna get all this off, and lay in bed…" Fiona said, shedding her jacket off. Zack smiled, and took the jacket from her.
"Well, allow me to assist you milady." Zack said, in an overly formal accent, Fiona chuckled.
"Thank you good sir." She replied in an equally formal accent. "So, any chance we can go see our kids soon? I mean, I'm sure they miss us, or at least my cooking." Fiona said, beginning to unbutton her blouse.
"We could go in a few days. Nothing big is happening in the next week, or at least… Nothing big should happen." Zack told her, Fiona nodded as she took off her blouse.
"That's good. I really miss them… Why did they have to leave?"
"They grew up… We could always have another kid?" Zack asked, Fiona smirked at him.
"I know you mean well, but saying that while I'm undressing is pretty damn suggestive."
"Good thing it was kinda supposed to be." Zack told her, Fiona just shook her head at him.
-Aftermath- Virtuoso City, Hart Family Home-
"Hey kid, get up." Toni ordered, Violet mumbled into her pillow in response. "I'm serious kid, get up." Violet glanced at her alarm clock.
"Mmm… Not past noon… It's Sunday… Fuck off." Violet mumbled, before curling into a tighter ball, and burying her head in her pillow once again. Toni rolled her eyes, and walked away. Kelsi was in the kitchen making breakfast, Toni looked over at her.
"Your daughter wont get up." Toni said, Kelsi smiled. "I'm gonna watch some tv." Toni said, before going into the living room, and doing just that. Kelsi smiled, and turned off the stove, walking to Violet's room.
"Baby, are you gonna get up?" Kelsi asked, Violet shook her head.
"It's too early for a Sunday mommy, can I please sleep, and could you close the door?" Violet asked, in a sweet voice, Kelsi smiled.
"Of course you can." Kelsi said, before she left the room, closing the door as she did so. She went to the living room, and placed her hand on Toni's shoulder, causing her wife to look up at her.
"What is it babe?" Toni asked, Kelsi smiled at her.
"Can you take out the trash please?"
"Isn't that Violet's job today?" Toni asked, Kelsi smiled at her sweetly.
"Could you please take out the trash love?" Kelsi asked, in a sweet voice. Toni recognized that voice. It sounded sweet, but it really meant. 'Do what I told you to do, or else.' Toni let out a sigh.
"But… I was watching tv!" Toni whined as she got up, and went into the kitchen. Kelsi smiled and resumed cooking breakfast as Toni took the trash out.
"Thank you love." Kelsi said as Toni returned to replace the garbage bag, Toni just shook her head.
"You know how Violet just gets away with everything, like she get's to sleep in, and I get her chores."
"It was only the garbage Toni." Kelsi said, Toni shook her head.
"That's not the point, you just let her do whatever, like… Shouldn't you be the strict one? You're okay with her having… Sex, you let her just sleep in, and then you push her chores on me… It's kind of fucking unfair." Toni complained Kelsi smiled at her as the dryer stopped, signaling it was finished.
"Could you fold the laundry for me love?" Kelsi asked in a sweet voice, Toni grumbled something, and left the room to do her wife's bidding.
Kelsi smiled, and once she finished breakfast, she scooped some eggs, and bacon onto a plate, with some toast, then walked into the living room where her wife was dutifully doing laundry, and grumbling to herself.
"Love, come eat your breakfast." Kelsi said, Toni gave her an unsure look, and walked up to her, Kelsi handed the plate to her before giving her a kiss on the cheek. "I'll take it from here. You just enjoy your food."
"This is… Weird…" Toni muttered, Kelsi just smiled at her as Toni sat down, and Kelsi finished folding the laundry.
"Don't worry about it, okay? You did everything I asked of you. I just think that allowing Violet to be herself, and be independent is important to her growth as a person." Kelsi said, Toni nodded. Moments later loud, exaggerated moaning was heard for a moment before it stopped. Toni just shook her head.
"That's your daughter. She's watching the porn we pay money for, that's why she refused to get up." Toni pointed out, Kelsi just shook her head, and laughed.
"Like I said, she's allowed to be herself. She probably should have been more insightful, but she learns from mistakes quickly. Remember when we thought she was sneaking into our room, and getting into your magazines, because the drawer was slightly ajar. It was never like that again, and then you caught her."
"Don't remind me… She was like… Eight!"
"I find it funnier that all she would do was look at them. She didn't even know what they were for, also the fact that you still had all those."
"They were vintage! Like I'm just gonna throw them away, they really helped me discover my sexuality, and they mean something. To me at least." Toni said, Kelsi smiled at her.
"They helped Violet discover hers also." Kelsi pointed out, Toni just made a face, and shook her head.
"Nope. Don't want to think about that." Toni said quickly, Kelsi smiled, and kissed her on the temple.
"Come to think of it, those magazines helped me discover my sexuality." Kelsi whispered seductively, as she laid a few kisses all over her wife's neck. "I think we should go have a refresher course, remind me why I love you so much." Kelsi said, before she skipped off to their bedroom.
"God Dammit!" Toni exclaimed, as she set her plate aside, and rushed to her bedroom.
-Aftermath- Winniplex Diner-
"I need two plates of pancakes, quick as you can." Jesse said, before he moved and poured two cups of coffee. He took them over to a booth with a man and a woman sitting there talking.
Jesse moved back behind the counter, and let out a sigh, as two plates of pancakes were placed next to him. He grabbed them, and delivered them to the couple, before once again returning to the counter. He saw Mary, a middle aged woman come out from a door, she smiled at him.
"Take a break Jesse, I can handle this." Mary told him, he nodded and went through the door. He walked through the kitchen to the break room, and leaned against a wall, letting out a tired sigh.
"Man, you look like ass." He heard, he opened his eyes to see his Co-Worker. Emily. She had pixie cut orange hair, and bright blue eyes. Pale skin tone with freckles decorating her cheeks. Dressed in the same white and blue outfit he was, difference was she had to wear a skirt.
"Thanks for that Emily." He said sarcastically, she just smiled at him.
"What's got you so tired?" She asked him, he shrugged.
"I had to work at a dance until midnight last night. And I didn't end up getting home until two. Fell asleep at three, woke up at five, took a shower, and came here at six to work… So, I'm a little beat."
"Why'd it take you so long to get home after the dance?" Emily asked, Jesse shrugged.
"My friends car got a flat." Jesse answered, Emily nodded, and stared off in the distance for a second before looking at Jesse, and pushing her phone in his face. "What is this?" Jesse asked.
"Just look at it." Emily ordered him, and he followed her order. The phone was showing a screen for a movie, with two tickets bought already.
"A movie? Are we going to a movie?" Jesse asked, Emily nodded as she pulled her phone away.
"Yeah. My mama said we could use her car. It's on Friday night, so we still have a week, but I wanted you to know."
"Sounds good to me Emily. You know, I met someone kinda like you." Jesse told her, she gave him a look.
"How so?" She asked him, he shrugged.
"Her name is Violet. She also grew up with two lesbian parents. She's also rather loud, and… Well, difficult to say the least." Jesse told her, Emily smiled at him.
"Good! I've always wanted to meet someone else in my position."
"Well, she's Bi, not straight, and she's more annoying."
"Be nice, just because she's not around doesn't mean you have to talk shit." Emily chastised him, he shook his head.
"I meant annoying in a strangely nice way. Like, she constantly references sex and all that, but her company is really enjoyable."
"That's good. I'd like to meet her… Could we see her Friday?" Emily asked, Jesse shrugged.
"If you want, and if she wants of course… How was your day yesterday?" Jesse asked, Emily shrugged, and looked at her nails.
"Boring. My mama got back though, so that was great, seeing her again." Emily said, Jesse nodded.
"Is she back for good or…"
"I don't know. Things are apparently only getting worse out there." Emily told him, frowning slightly. Jesse nodded.
Emily's mama, Claire was a Guardian of Light, and a high ranking one at that. Lately she had been off fighting in these battles between Light, Darkness, and Balance. She was extremely strict, and protective. Emily's mother, Mary was the more lenient of the two, a sweet, and gentle flower. She was against fighting entirely.
"You ever think you're gonna join the fight?" Jesse asked, Emily shook her head.
"You know me. I'm not special. I mean only my mama has talents for anything like that, and I barely have any magic, so no… I just want it to stop so my mama can stay home."
"I understand… I sometimes wish I could be like you, just… Normal, with normal problems. I mean, I have problems, but I also have to make sure I'm a good representation for my faction, on top of making sure my sister, mom, and I can eat."
"Where is Katie anyway? Don't you usually bring her to work with you on Sundays?" Emily asked, Jesse shrugged.
"My mom actually has some time off today." Jesse said, Emily nodded.
"You could let me help out?" Emily asked, Jesse shook his head.
"I have to do it myself. I'm the man of the house, I should be able to do this myself." Jesse told her, she let out a sigh, and nodded.
"If you insist." Emily said, before the two of them were called back to work. Emily frowned as Jesse walked out to work, she wished he would let her help him for once.
-Aftermath- Hart Family Home-
Violet sneezed as she walked into the living room. She looked around to see the tv on, and no one watching it, and a cold plate of eggs, bacon, and toast on the table next to her mom's chair. She just hummed, and ran a hand through her hair before she went over to the couch, and laid down.
Her parents came out of their room a couple minutes later laughing about something. Kelsi going to the kitchen, seeing that Violet was around, and Toni returned to her chair to watch tv. Violet pulled a blanket from the top of the couch, and threw it over herself.
"Violet, sit up so you don't choke okay?" Kelsi advised as she brought in a plate of breakfast. Violet made a disgruntled noise at having to move just as she had gotten comfortable, before she sat up and took the plate of food from her mother.
"Thank you." Violet said, in a tired voice, before she sneezed once again. Kelsi just looked at her and placed the back of her hand against Violet's forehead. "I'm fine." Violet told her, Kelsi hummed, and took her hand away, as she moved to sit in her chair.
"So kid, how was the dance?" Toni asked, Violet smiled broadly.
"The dance… Well, I danced, she danced… We danced… It was great…" Violet trailed off dreamily, Toni and Kelsi just exchanged a look.
"That's good… Um, did you meet anyone new?" Toni asked, Violet shrugged.
"No, mostly I just hung out with Kya." Violet told them, Kelsi smiled.
"I'm glad you had fun."
"Yeah… Do you think I could get a tongue piercing?" Violet asked, Toni shook her head, as Kelsi nodded. The two glared at each other shortly after.
"Absolutely fucking not." Toni said, Kelsi glared at her.
"And why not?"
"Because, I'm her mom, what I say goes, and I say my daughters not having a fucking tongue piercing." Toni argued, Kelsi just shook her head.
"First of all, that's ten dollars. Second, tell me Toni, when did you get your tongue piercing?" Kelsi asked, Toni stuttered.
"That's not… Well, that's not important."
"No, no, tell me and your daughter how old you were." Kelsi pressed the issue, Toni glared at her.
"Fifteen." Toni mumbled out, quickly, Kelsi smiled smugly, as Violet just looked at them.
"And did you ask permission from your parents?"
"…No."
"And did you get it done in a safe way?"
"Well… No."
"Then I see no problem with my daughter getting a tongue piercing at seventeen, with our permission from a certified person." Kelsi told her, Toni just let out a sigh.
"Fine, let her do whatever." Toni muttered bitterly, crossing her arms. Kelsi smiled and her, and kissed her on the cheek.
"See, sometimes you're just wrong love… But, I love you anyways."
"Oh, I could tell from what you did to me with your tongue… God it's great to have you back." Toni said, Violet made a face in disgust.
"Gross! Would you stop before my ears start bleeding?" Violet asked, Toni smirked at her daughter.
"What, you don't like to think of your sweet mother fucking me?"
"I swear all last night all I wanted to do was go underneath Kya's dress, and make her scream my name." Violet countered, Toni shook her head.
"I don't want to hear that!"
"Then don't talk about my mommy like that." Violet told her, Kelsi just shook her head. Those two could be so immature.
"Would you two stop?" Kelsi asked, getting the attention of both her wife and daughter. "Janice is coming over soon, so don't talk about any of that."
"Do I have to put on real clothes then?" Violet asked, currently all she was wearing was a baggy t shirt, and panties. Kelsi nodded.
"Yes, after you finish your breakfast okay? It's the most important meal of the day." Kelsi said, Violet nodded.
"Second most important meal of my day." Toni said, glancing at Kelsi, who rolled her eyes with a smile. Violet shook her head.
"Mine too." Violet said, causing Toni to shake her head, as Kelsi just laughed at little bit. Those two would never stop. Toni didn't like the idea of Violet having sex, and Violet was disgusted by the idea of her parents having sex.
-Aftermath- Radiant Garden, Outskirts.-
Yuri was walking through a ravine silently, just contemplating what he would do next. He was here just to explore, and see more places of this world, but what about after that? He certainly took after him mom when it came to his explorative nature, like her, all he wanted to do was see all the worlds he could.
Yuri supposed he could visit her, that would be a nice thing, he hadn't seen her in a couple months already, hopefully she was still living in the world of San Fransokyo, if not he would just have to go and ask Zack, he would know, he knew where all of his old friends were.
Yuri's peaceful walk was interrupted when a dark corridor opened up in front of him. Yuri stopped and just stared at it as a figure walked through. Yuri hummed as the corridor closed, and the figure removed their hood.
"Hake… Why are you here bothering me?" Yuri asked, Hake smirked at him.
"Who said I was here to bother you? Maybe I just opened a portal and ended up here, in front of you." Hake told him, Yuri just shook his head.
"We both know that's not true. Why are you here?"
"You really don't trust me do you?" Hake asked, Yuri glared at him.
"I can see the wheels turning in your head. All the schemes, the machinations, the intimate moments with Victoria."
"Get out of my head." Hake told him in a dangerous sounding tone, Yuri just gave him a look.
"Couldn't if I tried." Yuri told him, before he grabbed his Key-Chain, and summoned Monochrome. He brought Monochrome up in defense, blocking a Dark Thundaga from reaching him, Yuri swung his Keyblade, charged with the Dark magic, and redirected it at Hake.
Hake jumped out of the way, and summoned a large Buster Sword. Hake rushed at Yuri, who ducked out of the way, and used Waterga, summoning a large geyser of water to flood the ravine.
Yuri then used powerful Earth magic to catapult himself out of the ravine. He just waited for a moment, as Hake jumped out of the ravine, and landed in front of him, resting his Buster Sword over his shoulder.
"You're tough." Hake told him. Yuri looked at him lazily.
"I can see every possible action you could take. You simply cant beat me." Yuri told him, Hake glared at him.
"That makes things a little unfair."
"I cant control it." Yuri told him simply. Hake growled at him, and rushed forwards, swinging the Buster Sword with one arm, Yuri hummed, placing one hand behind his back, and using the other to block with Monochrome. This caused a shockwave, and the ground cracked underneath Yuri's feet.
Yuri pushed Hake into the air, and jumped up after him. Yuri slammed Monochrome into Hake's side, and sent him crashing back towards the ground. Yuri used his free hand to fire a Blizzaga at Hake.
Hake blocked it, but the time it took him gave Yuri the opportunity to attack him once again. Yuri smacked him with Monochrome once again, sending him falling into the ravine.
Yuri looked over the edge to see Hake disappear through a Dark Corridor. Just as Yuri knew he would. Yuri turned around and pointed Monochrome at the sun. He charged a Thundaga Shot, and seconds later a Dark Corridor opened up, Hake flying out of it. Yuri fired the Thundaga Shot and hit Hake in the chest, sending him flying back through the Dark Corridor.
Yuri smiled slightly. He knew Hake wouldn't come back after that. He would take time to recover from that, it was a powerful magic attack, and Hake took a direct hit from it. Yuri dismissed Monochrome, and slipped it back onto his belt. He opened up at Corridor of Light, and looked fondly back at Radiant Garden before he walked through it. He would have liked to stay longer, and see some more of this world, but it wasn't safe so long as Hake knew where he was.
