(No ones Pov) "Aiden, are you sick?" Serenity asks as Aiden lay down on his bed. The young girl was very worried. Aiden hadn't come downstairs for breakfast, and he wasn't in his office. So Serenity went into her older brother's bedroom. She found him laying on his bed and he looks very ill. " Yeah. I am Serenity." Aiden coughed out as Serenity pats his back. " I'll call Smith and see if she has any idea on what to do." Serenity told him as she left the room.
" Serenity, is Darling alright?" Miia asks concerned as she saw the young girl walk into the living room. " He's sick, so until I talk to Smith. Nobody should go up there." Serenity said rather doleful voice. This is the first time Aiden has been sick. Usually Serenity would be sick and her brother took care of her. The girl was feeling helpless, since she never took care of a sick person before. Gao hands her the phone.
" Hello?" A voice asked from the phone and it wasn't Smith. " I'm Serenity Valentine. Is Agent Smith there?" Serenity asks the boy on the phone. " Agent Smith, is out at the moment." The boy told her as Serenity heard another voice. " Serenity, is everything alright?" Tasuku asks in concerned.
" Tasuku, I'm glad you are there! Aiden is sick and I don't know what to do!" She exclaims as her hands starts shaking. " Tell me about Aiden's symptoms." Tasuku says. Serenity tell him about her brother's symptoms. She was unaware that Miia, who was wearing a nurse's outfit was about to leave the living room. Kiri sighs and picks up a nearby squirt bottle. He then sprays the cold water on the lamia. " Why do we have a squirt bottle filled with cold water?!"Miia asks while looking annoyed. " It's to stop you, Shiana and Lucine from taking advantage of Aiden." Kiri tell her.
Serenity finishes telling Tasuku about Aiden's symptoms. The thirteen years old realizes that Aiden has a cold. " Okay, just listen very closely. First, nobody expect for the slimes can get near him. Second, I'm coming over to help out. Just wait for me to get there before you do anything." Tasuku tells her as he hung up.
" What did he say, Serenity?" Keros ask her. "He said, that everyone except the Slimes can be around Aiden." Serenity told everyone. " Fine with me!" Sabrina stated as she crossed her arms. Sabrina was the current troublemaker, but she still showed a caring side. " Suu's the only one who could help Aiden." Queen pointed out.
" Oh, yeah." Serenity mumbled. Jelli was a mute and Quess never handle anything like this before. Everyone looked at Suu who looked confused
Back in Aiden's room, the poor man was in pain. " Dang it! My head and throat hurts!" Aiden complains. He suddenly remember that the extra species in the house can't get near him and Serenity was out of the question. Now he hoped Smith would come over. " I must be really desperate if I want Smith to appear." Aiden thought.
" Master, I'm coming in!" Cerea declared outside the door. " Wait, don't come in here!" Aiden shouts as the door opened. Suu stood at the door. " Master, we're using Suu to help!" Suu mimicked Cerea. " Aw! That's really nice!" Aiden spoke in a happy tone. As Suu checked his fever by putting her forehead on his head.
Aiden chuckles as she did that. To his surprise Suu brought out a small pool and a bowl of something white. " Beloved, please sit in the pool." Suu mimic Mero. Aiden did as Suu said and immediately regretted, when he found out pool has freezing cold water. " When Mermaids need healing, we submerged in a pool was ice cold water." Suu said as Mero.
Aiden jumped out of the small pool and changed his clothes. " Sorry, but I can't be in cold water." Aiden told the slime who gave him the bowl. " Darling, I made this for you!" Suu declared as Miia. Aiden looked at it and decided it was fine and was about to take a bite. When he heard the little exchange from before and learned what was in the bowl.
" You now what, I'm not hungry!" Aiden nervously chuckled as he put the bowl up. When he looked at Suu, he was scared when the slime's arm turned into wings and her eyes glowed. " Nicole, is that you?!" Aiden shouts referring to the character from Dead Space.
Downstairs, was a little eventful when everyone was teaching Suu. First, Cerea taught her how to check a person's fever, only to faint from heat exhaustion. Tasuku had showed up at that moment and he helped Mero with the pool, not knowing about what it was for. Then Miia made her food, that Mero had tried. The poor mermaid fainted while her fellow mermaids tried to revive her as Kiri called the poison control.
Papi had taught Suu about how harpies keep each other warm. At last the girls mainly Miia accidentally taught weird things to the slime, Rachnera, Alexis and Sabrina tied them up while warning the girls only to find Suu gone.
Back in Aiden's room, Aiden had passed out from exhaustion. Suu read his mind and realized that he got sick helping her, Aiden throat started hurting and Suu put a determine look on her face. Back downstairs, Serenity was cooking. She chopping up vegetables when Tasuku enters the kitchen. " Is everything always crazy over here?" He asks with a chuckle. " Yeah." Serenity replied while giggling.
" I wonder where Smith is at." Tasuku says. "You don't know where Smith is at?" Serenity asks in surprise. " No. But I have a feeling that she's skipping work today." Tasuku sighs. Serenity agrees that the agent was most likely skipping work. Tasuku casually looks out the kitchen window. " Did Aiden put together that swing set?" Tasuku asks Serenity. " Yeah. Papi and Suu begged him to put a swing set in the backyard." Serenity replies with a giggle.
The twelve years old then hears the sounds of the girls protesting. Tasuku and Serenity rushes to the living room. The girls minus Quess, Jelli, Chione, Mimi, Alexis, Sabrina and Rachnera were tied up in webs. The three arachnes had decided to keep the girls tied up, because this was funny to them. Surprisingly Mara was tied up." Why am I tied up?!" Mara demands. " Because you were teaching Suu weird things too." Sabrina replies with a stern look on her face. She was trying hard not to laugh. Gao was busy untying Tsen, while Kiri was untying Kagura.
Chione walks into the living room. She blinks a few times and wonders if she was still asleep. " I'm starting to hate spider webs." Mimi grumbles as she tries to free Papi. Serenity, Tasuku and Chione help to free the others.
Back at Aiden's bedroom. Aiden woke up to find Suu breast feeding him water from her body. " Suu! What are you doing?!" Aiden shouted until he realized his throat wasn't hurting and he felt better. " Did you, do that to help me?" Aiden questions her as the slime nods. At that moment Miia, Mero, Cerea, Papi and Serenity came in the room. " Darling, you're better!" Miia exclaimed happily.
" Yeah, It really was my fault for not taking another umbrella." Aiden says sheepish. " No, it's my fault. You got sick because of me, but I still love you Master." Suu says surprising everyone in the room. " You love him!" Miia shouts angrily as she shakes the slime. " Miia, stop that now!" Tasuku shouts at her from the doorway. Miia immediately stops. She had heard the stern tone in the thirteen years old boy's voice. She didn't want to get into trouble, but she still felt mad that Suu is another love rival.
" Tasuku, did you help Serenity?" Aiden asks the boy. " Tasuku, was a big help to me." Serenity told her older brother with a smile . Aiden went down stairs to reassure the others as Tasuku left since he had something to do. Everything was fine, for now.
(Serenity's Pov) " Thank you for helping me, Gao!" I exclaimed happily as he helped me with the baking. I was making cookies for everyone after dinner. I suddenly notice that the house was weirdly quiet. " Hey, do you think it's too quiet?" Gao asks me as I rushed to the living room.
When I got there Tsen, Keros, Queen, Honey, Alexis, Sabrina, Mara, Rui, Sein, Shiana, Lucine, Kagura, Shaia, Haru, Chione, Kiri, and Mimi were there plus two slimes. " Where are the others!" I gasps as I realized that six people were missing. " Miia said something about being suspicious." Mimi recalled. " Yeah, she said something about Buddy too." Tsen added.
I groaned as the puzzle pieces start to fit in my mind. " Aiden, is going to be mad if they charge into his work!" I shouted as I grabbed my slip on shoes. " Keros, you're in charge!" I called out over my shoulder as I opened the door. I ran as fast as could to the park. " They have to be there!" I thought frantic while images plague my mind.
I found the park cleaned of chaos and I was exhausted. I sat down on a bench while groaning. " Do you always, sit down without permission?" An upset voice asked. Startled, I looked over to the boy I didn't notice before.
The boy had dark purple hair and red eyes that glared at me. " Sorry, I didn't see you!" I exclaimed as I jumped up. The boy just sighed. " Sit back down, you look like your going to pass out!" He scolds me. He was right, I may be slim, but I never was athletic.
" I'm Serenity." I introduced myself. " Wen." The boy simply said as he read a book. I notice the title. " Hey, that's a Sherlock Holmes book!" I exclaimed happily as I stared at the book. " You like Sherlock Holmes?" Wen questioned me as I nodded.
To my surprise, Wen adjusted the book where the two of us could read. I thank him as I started reading. It must have been a minute or two when a woman appeared. " Wen, you're not supposed to be here by yourself!" The woman scolded him. Wen just looked away. " Oh, were you on a date?" She questioned as a huge blush appeared on Wen's face and mine. " I just met her!" He protested as the blond hair woman laughs.
" Thank you for keeping Wen company, I'm Dr. Hart." She introduced herself to me. " I'm Serenity Valentine, it's was nice meeting Wen." I said as the blush on Wen's face deepen. Wen got up and stomped away from us. " Oops, we made him mad." Dr. Hart commented as she followed him.
I giggled watching the two leave the park, when I notice Miia. I followed her until I caught up to her and Rachnera. " What are you two doing!" I shout as I grab on to Miia's tail. " Serenity, stay out of this! This is between Darling and me!" She shouts back. " Be quiet! We're going to get caught!" Rachnera whispered as hands appeared and dragged us in a room.
I moaned in pain as I took notice that guns were pointed at the two girls and I realized a sword was pressed against my throat. I stared at the sword. It was close enough to pierce my skin." You three!" A familiar voice shouts in surprise. " Zombina!" I gasp as I recognize the voice. " Manako, Zombina, and Zanya. Let them go!" Smith ordered. The sword was pulled away breaking my daze.
I finally saw the person who had the sword. It was a boy with dark blue hair tied in a ponytail. He had orange eyes that quickly averted from mine. he was wearing white jacket with purple highlights, purple lapels, a golden-yellow epaulette hanging from his right lapel, a red and white medallion poking out of a chest pocket on his jacket, white pants, white gloves and white shoes. His outfit looks like a military-like uniform to me. I then notice he was wearing cool looking glasses " Serenity, Miia, Rachnera. are you three okay?" My brother asks. " Aiden. What is going on?" I ask him. I was completely confused and I had no idea what was going on.
Smith explained to the girls and I about a threatening letter sent to Aiden. " We thought the sender would appear if Darling-kun went on a date with me. I never thought you girls would show up." Smith told us. " I'm sorry, I lied guys." Aiden apologize to us. " It's okay." Miia bashfully says. She was embarrassed that she let herself get paranoid again. " I'm afraid, the sender wasn't fooled by the fake date." Smith said. " So, you girls are going to have a date with Darling-kun." The girls looked surprised then extremely happy. " What about me?" I asked. " The sender could go after me to get to Aiden."
" That's true, Smith." Aiden pointed out as Smith smiled. " That's why Zanya is watching her." Smith told him as the boy let out a noise of protest. " How old is he?" Cerea questions. I had a feeling she wanted Shaia to be my guard. " He's the same age as Serenity." Tio told her. " Really?! he looks like he's a year older than her!" Miia exclaimed in surprise. " Don't I have a choice in this?!" Zanya protested. " Not really." Smith replied with a teasing smile.
I notice Mero was looking at my arm. " Serenity, there's blood on your arm." She pointed out as I saw a line of dried blood that came from a little prick on my arm. " That's weird, I didn't get a shot." I thought.
Then I remember feeling a tiny sharp pain like a pinch when I was reading with Wen. And I realized that he had a something in his pocket that was a blood red color. Did he draw blood from me? I snapped out of my thoughts when Zombina starts laughing. " Poor Zanya! He's going to have a really tough time!" The zombie laughs. " Bina-chan. Please don't make fun of Zanya." Tio tells her.
Zanya groans in embarrassment. I felt really bad for the boy. Hopefully nothing bad will happen tomorrow.
