-Aftermath-
"Okay, seriously Emily. What's wrong?" Jesse asked as the arrived at the front door of her house. She looked away from him, a glare still on her face. Jesse shook his head, and let out a frustrated sigh.
"It doesn't matter." Emily said, only for Jesse to shake his head.
"Bullshit." Was his response, Emily's eyes snapped up to him. He actually looked angry, which was new. She hadn't really ever seen him like that.
"Do you really want me to tell you?" Emily asked, she was tired of this. She was making this happen tonight. Fuck the consequences. She was making her move, whatever happened after that would be dealt with.
"Yes. Because I cant think of any reason why you would act all angry." Jesse told her, Emily let out a sigh. She was gonna do it. Hopefully it didn't turn out like Violet's relationship with her best friend.
"Because I like you Jesse. Like, really, really like you. Like a lot. Not as a friend, as something more than that." Emily told him, Jesse's eye widened, he truly had no idea she had felt this way.
"Wait… What? You like me?"
"Yes. I do Jesse." Emily said, sounding rather unsure, Jesse just blinked and thought things over for a few seconds. Causing Emily to glare at him, she let out a frustrated sigh, and grabbed his scarf pulling him close.
"Um…" Jesse started before Emily leaned in to kiss him. He noticed something about her perfume, it made him want to sneeze. So just before their lips connected Jesse sneezed right in her face, causing her to recoil for a moment, letting go of his scarf.
"Oh my god! I am so sorry Emily!" Jesse exclaimed quickly, Emily just shook her head.
"If you didn't want to kiss me you could've just said so… I didn't need… All of that." Emily muttered, Jesse bit his lip.
"It was your perfume! You know I hate that stuff. Sorry about that." Jesse said, Emily shook her head, and grabbed his scarf, pulling him closer, and actually getting to kiss him this time. He didn't really kiss back at first, before he got a chance Emily pulled away from him.
"You didn't kiss back…" Emily muttered sadly, Jesse panicked as she reached for the door handle. He reached out and grabbed her wrist, shaking his head, before leaning in to kiss her, she responded eagerly, before the door was thrown open. Both of them separated to see Emily's mama Claire.
Dark brown hair cut short, not even long enough to get a handful of, and bright blue eyes, that were sharpened to a point. With a large jagged scar on the right side of her face, and an extremely disapproving frown. She looked between her daughter, and the boy.
"Emily, your mother wants to see you. Now." Claire said, pointing further into the house and moving aside. Emily bit her lip and waved goodbye to Jesse before bounding inside. Once she was gone, Jesse let out a nervous laugh, and tried to walk away, however Claire followed him, gripping his hair roughly.
"Ow! Ow!" Jesse exclaimed. Claire just glared at him further as the door shut behind her. She shoved him away roughly, he tried to straighten back out his hair.
"Stay away from my daughter." Claire ordered him, he just looked at her.
"Why?" He asked, Claire's glare deepened and she rushed towards him grabbing his arm, and twisting him around, forcing him on the ground face first, holding his arm up painfully, and her foot pressing against his back. "Ah! Ah, of fuck…" He muttered, she glared at him and wrenched the arm further.
"Stay away from her. She's not like you or me. She doesn't deserve this life, she deserves so much more than you can offer her. So for both your sakes, stay away." Claire told him, with another painful wrench of his arm, another press of her foot against his back, and another pain filled scream from Jesse.
"Claire? Claire!" Emily's mother Mary shouted from the doorway. Claire turned to look at her. Mary had long blonde hair, to her mid back. Caramel colored eyes, and a worried look on her face. Claire turned to Mary, curious.
"Go back inside." Claire ordered, Mary frowned.
"Claire, let the poor boy go please?" Mary asked, Claire glared at her for a moment before letting out a sigh. She let go of Jesse's arm, and walked away from him, but not before warning him to stay away from Emily. Mary gave her a stern looking glare as Claire walked back inside.
Jesse picked himself up off the ground, and dusted himself off, as Mary walked towards him. He gave her an unsure look, as she smiled softly at him. Emily looked a lot like her, she tucked a strand of hair behind her ear before speaking to him.
"I'm sorry for Claire's behavior Jesse. She's just trying to protect Emily in the only way she knows." Mary explained, Jesse nodded. He understood that, but that did mean he was okay with how rough Claire handled him.
"Why's she so… Aggressive?" Jesse asked, Mary smiled.
"She's used to fighting, not being at home, and she loves Emily dearly. Me and Emily had talked to each other prior to tonight, about whether or not you two could pursue a relationship, and you have my blessing." Mary said, Jesse looked at her genuinely surprised. She and Emily had already talked about this? How long has Emily been waiting to be in a relationship with him? Explains why she was so angry though, she was frustrated he hadn't made a move yet.
"What about your wife, wont she disapprove?" Jesse asked, Mary laughed a little bit.
"Claire would disapprove of anyone trying to date Emily. Truth is Claire likes you Jesse, thinks you're a good kid." Mary said, Jesse gave her a confused look.
"Claire likes me?" Jesse asked, if that was her liking him, what would have happened if she hadn't liked him?
"Yes. If she didn't, I doubt you would still be with us." Mary said, Jesse looked at her, and she decided to rephrase that. "I don't mean that she would kill you. No, she would probably break both of your legs, then throw you to the closest hospital." Mary explained, Jesse nodded.
"Right… I'm glad that didn't happen." Jesse muttered, Mary smiled at him, before looking back at her house.
"You should get home Jesse. I'll send Emily out to say goodbye." Mary said before she retreated inside. Jesse let out a sigh, as he moved to stand by the side walk. A couple moments later Emily bounds out of the house, and towards Jesse.
"Sorry my mama did that. She really doesn't mean it!" Emily tried to explain. Jesse smiled at her, and nodded. Emily let out a sigh, and walked towards him, giving him a hug.
"I'm sorry." Jesse apologized, causing Emily to look at him, curiously, before realizing that he was apologizing for never seeing how she felt, and making a move. She smiled.
"Doesn't matter now. We're together. Aren't we? I mean, we kissed but…" Emily trailed off, Jesse smiled at her, and kissed her. She smiled, this was perfect for her.
"Of course we are… But, I gotta get home. Katie is probably worried sick." Jesse said, Emily nodded, and smiled at him.
"See you at work tomorrow then?" Emily asked, Jesse nodded, and gave her one last kiss before he left. Emily smiled to herself, and went back inside. Nothing terrible happened, that was good. Hopefully it stayed that way.
-Aftermath- The next day- Hart Residence-
"Hey kid! Time for school, get ready okay?" Toni called outside. Violet nodded, and let out a sigh as she jumped up and delivered a kick to a training dummy shattering it. Toni smiled at her daughter, she had improved greatly in her training with Kya.
Violet let out a sigh as she landed back on the ground. She wiped her brow, and walked towards the house, where her mom was waiting with a towel. Toni smiled as Violet took the towel, using it to wipe the sweat off of her face. She was dressed in a black sports bra, and a pair of baggy pants.
"I am so proud of you Violet!" Toni exclaimed happily, Violet smiled at her as Toni shut the sliding door.
"Thanks mom." Violet said, as she walked to her room. Toni smiled proudly, and went to her bedroom, where Kelsi was doing her makeup. Toni smiled and hugged her wife from behind, the blonde smiled.
"Thank you Love. Did you tell Violet that it's time for her to get ready?" Kelsi asked, Toni nodded.
"Yeah. Have you seen her though? Man, she can kick some ass! I'm so proud of her! We should go out for dinner tonight, the three of us, what do you say?" Toni asked, Kelsi hummed, as she considered her wife's words.
"I would love to. But, I have to work with Janice tonight until five, and then when I get home I have to finish all our finances. So, I don't think we'll have time Love." Kelsi told her sadly, Toni frowned.
"Aw, but… What if I did them? The finances I mean? Then when you get home, you can spend a few minutes getting ready, then we'll go out!" Toni explained her plan. Kelsi hummed as she thought it over.
"You? Doing our finances? I'll have to make a list of what exactly goes where… I know you hate dealing with this stuff, so if you're so committed to going out tonight, and not waiting..."
"Fuck waiting." Was Toni's response, Kelsi smiled, and brought a hand to her wife's cheek, pulling her close and kissing her before gently pushing her away.
"I'll tell you everything you need to know." Kelsi said simply, Toni smiled at her and clapped her hands together loudly.
"Great!" Toni said loudly, Kelsi smiled, and looked at her through the mirror.
"You better not mess it up though Love. I don't want to have to fix it later, okay?" Kelsi asked gently, Toni let out a sigh, and massaged her wife's shoulders, drawing a smile to the blonde's face.
"You got it." Toni confirmed. Just as they heard Violet's shower start up. Kelsi smiled slightly.
"Can you do me another favor?" Kelsi asked, Toni nodded. "Well, since Violet is in the shower, and we have plenty of time… Do you mind… servicing me? I promise later tonight I'll return the favor." Kelsi offered, Toni smiled at her.
"Let me shut the door, and I'll gladly service you however you like." Toni whispered into Kelsi's ear, before she moved to shut the door.
-Aftermath- Several Hours Later- Apex High-
"Can you feed me please?" Violet asked, with big puppy dog eyes, Kya just looked at her curiously. They were sitting at a table in the cafeteria during lunch.
"Cant you eat yourself?" Kya asked, Violet giggled childishly at her words, with Kya just giving her a blank look, Violet just shrugged after she calmed down.
"It will be fun! Plus, I actually broke a training dummy today, one of my moms. Do you know how strong I must be?"
"You've gotten so much stronger Violet. I'm actually really impressed with you. Never you thought you had it in you." Kya explained, Violet pouted, sticking her lower lip out, Kya just looked away from her, Violet knew what that did to her. "Stop it." Kya told her, just as Jesse and Damon came to the table, laughing about something.
"Well, I'm glad it all worked out for you man." Damon told him, as they sat down. Ruby coming a few moments later, and sitting next to Violet, who smiled at the girl for a second, before looking to Jesse and Damon.
"Hey guys! Look what I got!" Violet exclaimed, getting both of the boy's attention before sticking her tongue out, to reveal her new piercing. Damon nodded, as Jesse raised an eyebrow.
"You actually were stupid enough to shove metal through some part of your body?" Jesse asked, Violet rolled her eyes, these things usually took time to heal, but healing magic had taken care of that in an instant.
"Yes, captain buzz kill. Kya got one too." Violet told him, everyone else was genuinely surprised by her words, and didn't actually believe her.
"No way." Damon said, Jesse agreed with him.
"She wouldn't do that for you, I would though!" Ruby exclaimed, Violet laughed at her, and pat her head affectionately. Kya glared at them.
"Stop that Violet." Kya ordered, Violet looked at her, and nodded, taking her hand away, as the Guardian glared at Ruby.
"I know you would Ruby. But Kya did get her belly button pierced." Violet told them, Damon and Jesse clearly wanted proof, but Kya refused to show them anything. Arthur, and Jamora sat down with them.
"What are we talking about now?" Jamora asked, Violet smiled at him, and showed her tongue, before explaining about Kya's piercing.
"I'd like to see that, and maybe more." Arthur said, causing both Violet and Kya to glare at him. Kya was about to say something when Violet spoke up.
"No. She's my girlfriend, I'm the only person that gets to see more." Violet growled out. Kya just looked at her with a small, barely noticeable smile. Ruby looked shocked at this information, and pouted.
"You two actually dating now?" Damon asked, Violet nodded, Kya just nodded once, Damon smiled brightly.
"Alright! Looks like I win the pot! Pay up fuckers." Damon said, causing Arthur, and Jamora to groan, before each of them handed money to Damon, who smiled. Violet, and Kya looked at them.
"You took bets on whether or not we would get together?" Kya asked, Damon nodded.
"Yeah. Yesterday was the beginning of my week." Damon explained, causing Violet to groan.
"I should have bet on that…" Violet muttered, causing Kya to glare at her.
"Violet…" Kya said in a warning tone, causing the blonde to smile at her. Kya just kept her glare up, before Violet let out a sigh.
"Well, Kya… I could've got money, and gotten to date you!" Violet tried to reason with the Guardian, but she just shook her head.
"You're despicable Violet." Kya muttered, Violet just gave her a saddened look.
"But… I didn't do it…" Violet muttered, Kya just shook her head, before turning away from the blonde, Violet glared at Damon. "Fuck you." She said, Damon just gave her a look.
"Damn, baby girl. Sorry, not my fault you said it though." He said, Violet just shook her head. Kya got up from the table silently, Violet just staring after her.
"She's really mad at me…" Violet muttered, as her eyes glassed over, and her chin quivered. Ruby put a hand on her shoulder, in an attempt to comfort her. But before she could, Violet's arm was gripped gently.
"Come on." Kya said sternly. Violet just nodded, and let Kya pull her away from the table. Kya led them outside, to the courtyard. Violet looked up at Kya who hadn't said anything else. Kya led them through another door, and eventually out into the woods.
"Where are we going?" Violet asked, Kya just looked back at her, with a glare. Kya then shoved Violet against a tree, and pressed closer to the petite blonde. "Kya?"
"Violet… I cant believe you. Honestly, why would you ever bet on our relationship?" Kya asked, Violet struggled to find a response that wouldn't make Kya madder, so she just asked a question.
"Why is this such a big deal?"
"Because it is Violet! This is serious to me! To know that you would have bet on us getting together… It means that you would be willing to manipulate me to get what you want. I would never do that to you." Kya told her, Violet sighed.
"I was mostly joking."
"You shouldn't joke about things like that. But, there still needs to be some sort of punishment. Joking about our relationship is a stupid fucking idea Violet." Kya told her, Violet smiled slightly at her.
"You could hurt me?" Violet offered, causing Kya to look at her.
"What do you mean?" Kya asked. "I don't want to hurt you Violet." Violet smiled.
"Well, you know those videos we watched together? You could hurt me like that, I can take it. I trust you." Violet said, Kya just looked at her.
"I don't know if I'm willing to go that far with you yet. But, there needs to be more rules in our relationship, so this doesn't happen again. I also didn't like your affection towards Ruby." Kya said, Violet smiled at her.
"I was just being nice…"
"No, you were leading her on. Like you always do. That's over Violet, you're my girlfriend. Mine, you need to understand what that means." Kya told her, Violet nodded obediently.
"I understand. I'll listen to you when it comes to things like that." Violet said, Kya just looked at her, with a sigh.
"I don't want you to change completely Violet. I like you for who you are, but there needs to be a limit. If I feel you going to far, you stop immediately. Got it?" Kya asked, Violet nodded obediently.
"I got it." Violet said, Kya nodded just as he phone went off. Kya took it out of her pocket, and looked at it to see a message from the leader of the New Guardians of Light.
"Are you serious?" Kya asked aloud, Violet tilted her head, and tried to look at the phone.
"What is it?" Violet asked, Kya looked at her, and pocketed her phone.
"The Leader of the New Guardians of Light wants to meet with me…" Kya muttered, Violet smiled at her. The young Guardian looked absolutely stunned, and happy.
"Can I come?" Violet asked, Kya looked up at her and smiled brightly, grabbing Violet's hips, and lifting her up, spinning her around, the blonde laughed loudly, as Kya brought her down, and kissed her.
"Of course you can come!" Kya exclaimed, Violet giggled, and kissed Kya once again.
They didn't notice the third party watching from afar, with a jealous gaze. Emma glared at the couple, as Victoria smiled behind her, she wanted Emma to get angry, and jealous, and open herself further up to the darkness.
-Aftermath-
"Would you stop pestering me about it?" Tanner asked, Miranda shrugged, before noticing who was back.
"They're here again." Miranda pointed out, Tanner just gave her an irritated look. They were in school currently, and he was slightly worried that Miranda would talk about it too much.
"I know. Just ignore them. I always do." Tanner told her, Miranda let out a sigh.
"What exactly are we doing again? I honestly forgot, and it would probably be good to clue them in on what's happening." Miranda explained, Tanner nodded, seeing her point.
"Just another part of our job nudging history in different ways." Tanner reminded her, she nodded, and let out a sigh.
"I hate these jobs. High school sucks. How many times have we had to do it now?" Miranda asked, Tanner shrugged.
"In this just reality, or others?" Tanner asked, Miranda shrugged. "Well… There was that one time with Zack, and Janice… Then another reality with Zack, and Anna… In this reality we had Zack, and Fiona… I don't know, I cant remember any others." Tanner told her, she nodded.
"Do you think we'll have to do it again? Like, go to another dimension?" Miranda asked, Tanner nodded.
"Of course. I think we're planned for something in Blood of the Heart, but I honestly cant be sure. That hasn't gotten updated in a while. We are supposed to show up in the current arc though." Tanner reminded her, she nodded.
"I don't like that place. It's all wilderness, and uncivilized." Miranda complained, Tanner rolled his eyes.
"You've grown soft Miranda. We grew up in the wilderness. Multiple times." Tanner reminded her, causing her to let out a sigh.
"I know. But I like being in a cushy apartment… Why don't we have a house though? We did when Zack was fucking Anna, and you were fucking Shane." Miranda said with a smile, causing Tanner to blush.
"Shut up Miranda. I don't know though, we just didn't get a house this time, ask you know who not me." Tanner told her, she let out a sigh.
"He doesn't talk here, you know that. He could, he should. I got some shit I need to get off my chest." Miranda muttered, bitterly. Tanner just smirked.
"I'm sure you do. I don't know, ask him once they leave." Tanner told her, she let out a sigh.
"But I don't think the scene's done yet. I mean, it obviously isn't since they're still here!" Miranda exclaimed loudly, Tanner just shook his head. "Fuck it, there has to be something we can make of this, how is Shane?" Miranda asked, Tanner shrugged.
"Living his life in Winniplex. I couldn't ask him to leave, and I have a job to do." Tanner told her, she nodded.
"He doesn't mind the whole not aging thing?" Miranda asked, Tanner shrugged.
"I don't know, it's complicated. The only other time I fell for him was in Radiance, and that was when we were normal. Well, we didn't have our original back-story, at least. The rules of that world were a bit strange, I don't think we had any powers."
"I still had my beauty thing. You know, my whole power thing. Where I'm the definition of perfect for any given person." Miranda said, Tanner shrugged.
"It is weird how you chose that, and yet, you don't get attracted to people yourself. You're such a tease." Tanner said, Miranda smiled at him. "And I guess, we still retained our memories, so that could count for a power, I guess."
"I miss them… Do you think we can go to Radiance and visit Violet? She's still small there right?" Miranda asked, Tanner hummed, thinking it over.
"I think technically that entire story is still going, but we just aren't following it. We're there, but we're here at the same time. Same with practically every other reality we're in. We could go there if we use our stream of consciousness, it is all shared of course."
"Why is it so complicated?" Miranda whined, Tanner chuckled, shrugging his shoulders.
"It's because all this dimensional speak, and streams of consciousness, and anything related is complicated in nature. Simple explanation would be… Me, and all the other Tanner's out there all share one single consciousness, but we only tap into the thoughts from the universe we're currently in. If we tried we could tap into the others."
"So, I never understood this… There's different versions of us out there? What would happen if we were to meet?" Miranda asked, Tanner shrugged.
"Nothing really. Technically, with us two at least, we all basically share everything, so we would basically just continue to do that. There cant be more than one of us in a single universe, so if a new Tanner came here, I would go there, but our stream of consciousness would just switch too. Acting as if I was the Tanner over there, because I am technically." Tanner explained.
"Do you think they're gonna get any of this?" Miranda asked, Tanner shrugged.
"If I'm being perfectly honest, most of this stuff is just hard to explain. So, I don't know… Maybe."
-Aftermath- After School- Hart Residence-
"Hey mom." Violet said, poking her mom's arm, causing the woman to glare at her daughter irritably. She hated doing these things, but she wanted to celebrate Violet's progress tonight, and her daughter seemed dead set on annoying the shit out of her.
"Go away Violet." Toni muttered, Violet shook her head.
"But I love you!" Violet exclaimed loudly, and poking Toni's arm multiple times, causing Toni to glare at her.
"Would you please leave?" Toni asked, gritting her teeth, she didn't want to snap, but Violet was being rather difficult.
"I just wanna spend time with you." Violet muttered bitterly, poking Toni's arm once again. Toni let out a sigh, she could finally get some work done. After several minutes of relative silence, Violet started talking again.
"Kya and I agreed that I should have something on me that shows were in a relationship. We're getting a choker with her name on it, and I'll wear it every day." Violet said, causing Toni to glare at her, with a low growl escaping her.
"Violet, I really need to focus here. I cannot mess this up, and you and Kya's weird little submissive thing is not helping. Plus I didn't raise my daughter to be submissive like that."
"It's not in the bedroom yet. Plus, she hasn't done anything so I have to teach her stuff." Violet said, Toni rubbed her temple with her thumb.
"Are you going to leave me alone?" Toni asked, coming up with an idea. Violet shrugged, and poked her arm.
"Not planning on it!" Violet exclaimed, Toni nodded, and looked at Violet, this would get her to leave.
"Do you want to hear a story?" Toni asked, Violet shrugged.
"Sure!"
"Okay, this is how you go your name… Your first name at least." Toni said, Violet smiled brightly.
"Awesome! I always wondered where it came from! Is it from a famous warrior or something?" Violet asked, Toni chuckled.
"Not exactly… Just listen. Okay, well back in High School, when me and your mother were dating, Janice took us, that is me, your mother, Zack, Fiona, Rhyme, Tanner, Miranda, Shane, and herself of course on a vacation to Destiny Islands. We stayed there for two weeks, it was beautiful."
"I want to go there!" Violet interrupted her, causing Toni to glare at her, before going on with her story.
"Right. Well, me and your mother had been in a relationship for a while, and we were looking to spice things up. Zack and Fiona were too, but that's irrelevant. They were doing anal, anyway, me and your mother wanted to spice our relationship up in a different way. So, we agreed on a one time thing."
"Oh no…" Violet muttered, not liking where this was going, Toni smiled as Violet tried to get up, Toni however grabbed her arm, and held her down.
"Oh, you're getting punished for bothering me so sit down, shut up, and listen. Anyway, we agreed that we would bring a third girl into this. Have a ménage à trois, so we found a girl, her name was Violet, really nice, and a really sweet girl. She agreed, we had a threesome, and became friends after that, she's where you get your name. Also, one of your God parents, the other being Janice. She also baby sat you a bit when you were younger, and we lived with Zack."
"Oh god…" Violet muttered, Toni smiled, and let go of her daughter's arm.
"Now, fuck off and leave me alone to finish this, and make sure you take a shower. Since we're going out tonight, okay?" Toni asked, Violet just pouted, and went to her room, muttering something about her name being tainted now, Toni just smiled.
-Aftermath-
Well there it was! Emily, and Jesse are together, finally. Hope that works out well for them. Violet and Kya are going to see the leader of the New Guradians of Light.
