Chapter 17 - Purple's Package...

Shadic: Here. We. Are! :D

Archy: Aloha Everyone! :D

Together: We don't own HDN, just the idea, Purple (Shadic) and Molly (Me), etc. Enjoy!

Purple and Molly were sitting in their living room, watching some TV to relax from all the stuff that's been happening... Or at least one is doing that.

The Demi-Goddess had fallen asleep on her lover's lap due to lack of sleep last night and did not appear to be waking up any time soon.

Molly whispers to herself. "D'awww... I can't resist this..."

She starts to stroke Purple's hair, unable to control herself. She sighs happily.

"Finally..." She sighs. "No war... no arguments and no prison sentences... Just peace..."

EVENT FLAG TRIGGERED.

The bell of the house started sounding.

"What the..."

Molly looks around.

"Dexter, Computer system, what's going on?"

Computer System responded in moments. "It's the mailman"

"...Oh."

She gently places Purple to her left and on a super comfy cusion and stands up.

Molly yawns. "Open the lock, I'm already dressed.."

She headed to the door.

A click was heard and the lock of the door vanished.

As Molly opened the door she came face to face with the mail...woman?

Marvy was stood there. "Mail for Ms. Polins—...Oh..."

Molly smiles.

"Morning' Marvy... Thanks for bringing the post. What do I owe you this time?"

Marvy smiled. "Just a sign here and here" She takes out a paper and that affirms the client received the package. And she took out a pen as well.

Molly takes the pen gently out of Marvy's hand, it was almost as though a gentle wind had picked it out of Marvy's hand, and signed both signatures in both places.

"There you go"

Marvy nodded. "Thank you, and here you—" She groaned. "GO!"

She grabbed a box that looked insanely heavy even for someone like her, she placed it in between her and Molly.

Marvy smiled at Molly's questioning glance. "From Planeptune's Basilicom!"

Molly rose an eyebrow then but nodded.

"Thanks Marvy, oh and-" She pulls out two Silver credits worth around 200 each. "This is for you, you need the money right?" She hands it to her as she pulls the box into the house, and towards the living room.

Marvy nodded. "Thanks, no one is hiring ninjas as of late and rent is still a thing"

"I MIGHT have a job for you soon enough. Just, let me see what this package is all about and I'll contact you soon. Leave your details at the door and I'll contact you." She smiles and heads into the house, putting the box in the middle of the living room floor.

"... This is one BIG box..."

As she looks at it she notices a note that says: For Purple.

Molly offers a small smile. "Looks like that CPU is nice after all..."

She walks over to the sofa where Purple is sleeping currently, nudging her with her hand gently.

"Purple... Wakey wakey, you've got a package."

Purple groans in her sleep. "...Five more minutes~ Please~..." There is a cute snoring noise from her. "I swear I didn't know it said closed~"

Molly chuckles.

"Alright, we'll open it when you wake up... You've got TEN more minutes."
She walked to the kitchen table and sat down, opening a newspaper and began to read it.

On the newspaper:-

Battles on the frontier, will no-one stop the monsters!?

Molly sighs with a slight groan. "I don't want to get involved... I mean, I WILL if I have to but..." She looks back at Purple's sleeping form. "I can't do that to her..."

Ten minutes passed by, in which she used a part to think of the newspaper and another to get back to the couch and place Purple's head on her lap again.

...The stomach of the Demi-Goddess made a sound almost invisible to the human ear and she started waking up.

Purple yawned. "...Mornin', Molly" She smiled as her head still rested on her love's lap.

Molly smiled warmly at her lover. "Mornin' Purple. You've got a package.

Purple blinks. "Really? Been a while since I received one."

Molly points to the box in the center of the room. "That's all for you. I wasn't going to open it without you there."

Purple nods. "Thanks~!"

She got up from her lap, a bit reluctantly since she didn't want to, and walked to the box. As she stared at it she found a part that said: PULL HERE.

Pulling it, the box fell apart and only its contents were left.

There was a giant box that seemed fill to the brim with credits along a note: Sixteen years worth of delayed financial support from Neptune's part from Histoire.

There were some books as well one of them with the cover: HOW TO READ (for dummies), and an invitation to Planeptune's Basilicom to meet the CPU.

Molly offers a smile.

Molly was thinking to herself at that point, ''Bout time too'

Purple was just stunned. "..."

"What am I going to do with so much money!?"

Molly looked at the box and then Purple. "You can invest it, or save it. Personally, I'd save it if I were you. You may need it somepoint."

Molly giggles.

"You sound like someone who doesn't know what to do - For the first time in her life."

Purple flailed her arms a bit. "Well... This is simply too much money, I've never had this much at once before! And why would Planeptune's CPU want to—...oh, yeah...I think I may know why..."

Molly smiled at her. "You SHOULD know that the Planeptune CPU - Neptune - is your mother. I was a bit delayed in telling you... Sorry." She offers a bashful smile.

Purple nodded. "No worries, Miss Time already told me that

Molly went quiet at that. "... You spoke with her?"

Purple nodded again. "Yes, why?"

"Nothing, it's just... No-one has spoken to her apart from her son before... I hope you know its a great honour to speak with her."

Purple put a finger to her lip. "She seemed a bit mean... And it's because of her that you were set free, so I thought she was nice beneath all that seriousness lawfulness aura that surrounded her. I had an idea she was reserved...but not so much to have only talked with her son, I wonder how much guts her husband must have had to ask her out..."

Molly shudders. "I would hate to guess. Anyway, we should go out one day, I mean, I want to MARRY you so its only fair I take you to a park or something - Right?"

Purple looked at Molly in the eye. "Can we go to an amusement park?" She then offered her best puppy dog expression. "Please~?"

Molly nods.

"If its what my girlfriend wants, it is what she shall have." She smiles.

Purple smiled widely. "Yaay! My first time going to one and it'll be with my Girlfriend!"

Molly blushes slightly. "I... I see. I haven't been to one e-either"

The Demi-Goddess grabbed both of her hands. "Then, it'll be a first time experience for the two!"

Molly smiles again. "I guess it will be."

Purple then returned her sight to the invitation. "..."

Molly blinked. "Are you unsure?"

Purple went quiet and then spoke after a few moments. "... Pa always told me that Ma really loved him and that she would be back after she had finished her business. When it became my eight birthday...we realized she wasn't coming back. My image of a Mother was destroyed in that point...and then, Pa died while hunting some monsters and told me to come to the city, and to kick Ma in the nuts if I ever met her..."

Purple sighed. "When I arrived and after the Goddesses destroyed the Deity of Sin... I thought they were cool, especially Purple Heart since we looked so similar. But now...I don't know what to think of her exactly"

Molly nodded. "You're hurting... That's what it sounds like." She stood up and hugged Purple, making her stand with her.

"I'll be there with you. She won't try anything daft while I'm there."

Purple returned the hug. "Thank you."

Molly chuckled. "Hey, its my job as your partner to look after you. So, that is what I shall do."

She smiles warmly.

The Demi-Goddess did the same. "No, it's not your job..."

Molly blinked in confusion.

"It's OUR job to take care one of the other!"

Molly chuckles again.

"I suppose so. Let's get you to the Basilicom then. I know Neptune won't try anything while I'm there. After all... Perhaps you should know, I was the one who put her in hospital with all those bandages."

Purple nodded. "I could imagine" Purple frowed her brows for a moment. "Oh, yeah, I almost forgot"

She karate chopped Molly's head.

Molly yelps quietly.

"What you did to IF was wrong. Don't do it again. Please?"

Molly nods.

"Hai~"

Purple nods and smiles. "Well, let's go then!"

She grabbed Molly's hand and started pulling her softly to the house's entrance.

Molly blinked and was pulled along until her scanner started to beep.

"Hold on a sec."

The scanner then showed a screen that said, "Fully healed - no need for tech anymore" and quite literally fell off of the side of her head, and would have landed on the floor had Molly not caught it.

Molly went whisper quiet.

Purple's eyes widened. "...Molly, your eye is good again!"

She tried to touch the side of her head, and, the side of her head was soft, almost fragile but it was healed. Just fixing itself thanks to the Shares.
"Besides my gun, this is the last thing Time Traveller did for me... I... I really have left my old life behind haven't I?" She sighed but it was a happy sigh. "I think I can live for once... My retirement starts now." She smiled wider than before.

Purple nodded. "...Well then, it's a pleasure to finally meet you, Molly Polinsky, former Time Traveller and soldier." She started giggling a bit.

Molly giggled also.

"It's nice to be free of that life at last. So, thank you Miss Purple, daughter of Goddess - Lady Purple Heart. Without you, I wouldn't be here."

Purple looked down at that point. "And without you I would probably be...somewhere else that's not here"

She seemed down by it, only now she realized how lonely has been her life till now.

Molly places her spare hand on Purple's head, rustling it. "It's fine now. You're with me and we will always keep each other company, right?"

Purple nodded. "...Yes"

Purple kissed Molly again.

Molly closed her eyes in bliss as everything in her had finally settled down - No high blood pressure, no issues of any kind with her internals... She was officially a citizen of Gamindustri - Planeptune.

As Purple broke the kiss, there was a thin string of saliva still connecting their mouths. It died as the Demi-Goddess separated her head enough however.

"Shall we go, Molly?"

Molly nodded. "Ready when you are, hon."

"...Mhm..."

Purple hugged Molly and kissed her neck. "I think they can wait. I've waited sixteen years for a Mother, she can wait another day, right?"

Molly nodded.

"Probably."

"So, how about we just lay down on the couch and do nothing together?"

"Sounds good."

Molly grabbed a hold of Purple's hand and walked back to the sofa.
