-chapter 55-
I spent the night with Zari and went to check on Kitty the next morning, she was asleep when I got there so I went to watch tv for a moment before returning to see if she had woken up, after doing this about 3 times I finally found her awake.
"Why are you here? Go back to Zari." She said when she noticed me.
"Zari is great and cool, but I feel like you need me more." I replied.
"I do." She replied.
I layed next to her and pulled her close.
"I love you Kitty, I'm not in love with you, but I love you enough to forgive you. But you can't be cruel like that, ok, you could get us all killed you know, The U.S.C could come after us, bounty hunters could come after us. I know that bitch was annoying as fuck, but what you did to her was completely uncalled for. Zari is afraid of you, I'm afraid for you. Saphira just got here so she doesn't really know what to think. " I said.
"I understand, you went over this yesterday." She replied. "I'm sorry."
"And if things don't work out with Phoebe for whatever reason, I still want to marry you." I said.
"But you're not in love with me." Kitty replied.
"I can learn." I said. "When, I married Aranea we didn't even like each other."
"Really?" Kitty replied.
"Yeah, she wouldn't even hold my hand, we had no common ground, nothing, we slept in separate rooms." I replied. "For the first few months it was like we weren't married at all."
"But time went on, we got closer, one night I decided she looked too damned good in her dress to keep wearing it. And at that point, I was ready to move on, I wasn't aware of my immortality yet and by the time I was it was much too late, Kitty she's the only woman I've ever loved as much as I love Phoebe and that was a mistake. And I just can't allow myself to feel that way again until I find out what happened to Phoebe."
"I understand." She said.
"Do you really though?" I asked.
"Yes." She replied. "Can I show you how sorry I am?"
"How do you want to do that?" I asked.
"You want to have sex with me in the pool?" She asked.
"Ok, that might be a start." I said.
"And maybe I'll wear a bikini." She said.
"Well we'll have to buy you one first. We'll worry about that later." I said. "Right now let's get to the pool."
"Ok." She replied.
-4 minutes later-
We entered the pool room and proceeded to make out until our clothes came off.
"Ok, now it's time for you to get in the water." I said. "May the chlorinated liquid cleanse you of your sins."
"What?" She asked.
"I have no idea. It just sounded cool to say." I replied as I jumped into the pool. She approached the shallow end and stepped down on the first step of the stairs, barely getting her feet wet.
"You gotta do more than that babe, come on." I said.
"It's cold." She replied.
"You get used to it." I said. "The water is actually pretty warm you're just cold cause you're standing there naked.
I swear it took five minutes just to get her to the bottom of the steps.
"There you're in see? It's not that bad, come on, we're not done yet, let's go deeper." I said as I took her hand.
"Why?" She asked.
"Because there's nothing sexy about being in water that's only up to our legs." I said.
So I led her deeper into the pool to where we were she was almost up to her neck.
"There, this is good." I said as I pulled her close. "Now we can start making love."
I started to make out with her again, it took her so long to get in we had to do some more foreplay, but eventually she wrapped herself around me and we started going at it.
When we finished I held her close.
"See that wasn't so bad." I said as we moved back to slightly shallower water.
"Yeah, but, now how am I going to get dry?" She asked.
"You can digivolve can't you?" I asked.
"Oh yeah." She replied.
"No more excessive cruelty." I said as Saphira awkwardly entered the room.
"Oh I didn't know you were in here." She said, embarassed.
"We're almost done, just get out." I said as she quietly left the room.
"I guess we should just get dressed and go to work then huh?" I asked, "work" being the scanning of planets for signs of the others.
"Yeah, I guess. I love you." She replied.
"Love you too babe, just don't get too attached." I said. "It keeps threatening to break my heart that one day I may have to break yours. You kind of need to do the same thing you know, don't allow yourself to fall for me until we know for sure about Phoebe."
"You won't, I had you for 20 years, I was lucky." Kitty said.
"It's not over yet baby." I replied. "But if we find out that Phoebe is still alive and available it will be time for me to move on."
"I wish it didn't have to be that way, but I understand." Kitty said. "And we'll always be friends right?"
"Yeah, we'll always be friends." I said. "We're all going to have to be, because we're gonna have to figure out how to get back to the digital world. And then we're gonna finish indramon and the other dark kings once and for all. And then, I have no idea, we'll just see what comes next. "
"Cj to the bridge please." Zari's voice came up on the intercom.
"What the heck Zari?" I muttered.
"Guess we better go." I said as I got out of the pool and attempted to get dressed.
Kitty climbed out, digivolved to lilithmon and was ready to go.
"Now we just need to get you a bikini." I said.
"What's so great about a bikini?" She asked.
"What's not great about them?" I replied.
We both headed up to the bridge where Zari was apparently waiting for me for no reason.
"Wasup babe?" I asked.
"Nothing, I just wondered where you were and why Kitty is with you." She asked.
"Well she is sorry, you know, I don't think she really understood the impact of what she did. I'm gonna give her a second chance. " I said.
"You pushover." Zari said somewhat annoyed.
"Oh relax, let's have breakfast and get to work." I said.
"What work?" Zari asked.
"Scanning the planets." I replied.
"I think we should move back to Zelusian space." Zari said.
"Yeah, you're right, the U.S.C could send stuff after us any day now." I replied.
"You know you shouldn't have rescued me." She said.
"Oh bullshit, I wasn't just going to sit there and let them eject you into the sun." I replied. "We're a family, fuck them if they think they can intervene. We've known each other longer than we've even lived in either of their spaces. Now let's get some breakfast, I'll make some pancakes. Then we'll jump into Zelusian space where we can hopefully still be welcome. And please, for the love of god, do not start fighting Kitty like Phoebe did, we're all in his together, not just us, but the rest of the group as well."
"They wouldn't have executed me, they'd trade me back to the Zelusians for other prisoners. Worst case scenario I'd be forced to serve another 6 month tour to pay off my ransom." Zari pointed out.
"I didn't think the Zelusians took prisoners." I replied.
"What kind of propaganda have they been feeding you?" She asked.
-40 minutes later, at breakfast-
"So Saphira which room did you move into?" I asked.
"What?" She asked.
"Where did you sleep last night?" I asked.
"On the couch, I was watching tv." She said.
"Ok well there's like 26 extra bedrooms, you can claim one if you want." I said. "This ship is basically a flying hotel."
"Zari has room 3, Kitty and I use room 7, any other room is up for grabs. You can have deck 4 or 3 to yourself if you want." I added.
"Wait so you're not staying with Zari anymore?" Kitty asked.
"If that's ok with you." I replied.
"What's wrong with me?" Zari asked.
"Nothing, it's just, that was a one-time thing because Kitty fucked up yesterday, and that's over now so, yeah, I had fun, don't take it personally, if you ever wanna just hang out and watch tv again that's fine." I replied.
"You know at some point you're going to have to pick just one of them." Saphira said.
"Well I pick Phoebe over all of you so, won't have to worry about that for a while and at the moment Kitty wins by default, because we've been a thing for 20 years." I said. "But yeah if you want to start seeing others on the side go ahead, but you know, they'll all be mortal so. Personally you two, even if our relationships are ill-fated I still find it better than being alone. And if one thing is for certain, if we're going to stop indramon we need to get our entire group back together. Maybe we'll luck out and find some others that can help, but now it's just us four."
"If you end up marrying me are you still going to sleep with Zari sometimes?" Kitty asked.
"We'll deal with that when it comes to it but if you don't want me to then no." I replied.
"Any questions that don't involve this insane love triangle?" I asked.
"Ok in a few minutes we're going to jump into zelusian space and stop at the first station we come across to pick up supplies because we didn't get the chance yesterday. Then we're going to go back to scanning planets, should be pretty straight forward as long as Kitty doesn't decide some random person deserves to be raped." I said to everyone.
"Ugh, don't even joke about that." Zari said.
"I'm not joking, I'm constantly reminding her so maybe she won't do it again." I said.
"I'm never doing that again." Kitty said. "and she wasn't random, she was that stupid clone that keeps ruining things for us."
"That doesn't make it right." I replied.
"I'm going to go set the ship to jump into Zelusian space, you two better not be at each other's throats when I get back." I said. "Saphira keep them from killing each other."
"Um, I'll try." She replied.
So I went to the bridge and started to setup the jump drive. The timing couldn't be better as a patrolling U.S.C battlegroup, a carrier, four destroyer escorts, two light cruisers, and lots of smaller ships just appeared on radar. We'd be gone before they could even properly identify us. The ship lurched into and out of hyperspace before I made it back to the room, burning through at least a third of the fuel rods, but it was nothing we couldn't replace at the next station. I came back to Kitty and Zari just staring at each other in silence while Saphira quietly ate her breakfast.
"They didn't start anything," Saphira said between bites.
"Ok, cool." I said. "You two are just going to have to make up, you know that."
"I don't care how you do that, but stay off of my side of the bed."
"Fuck you." Zari said.
"What are you afraid of her?" I asked.
"Can we talk in private?" Zari asked.
"Sure." I replied.
"You better not have sex with him." Kitty threatened.
"Yeah that's exactly what I'm going to do." Zari said with a bit of anger in her voice.
"Don't, he's my temporary boyfriend, get your own." Kitty cluelessly replied.
Zari and I met up in an empty bedroom down the hall.
"What's up?" I asked.
"I am afraid of her, you're letting her get away with this?" She asked.
"Babe I'm sorry but I can't break it off with her, not yet. You'll be ok, Saphy and I can keep her in line. You know she's never been the brightest, but she'll learn, I mean, she's learned how to use her powers, she just needs to learn what she can't do with them, and it's like I said, we all need to stay together. Besides I don't see why you're afraid, you're not exactly weak yourself, you were an admiral, she only made lieutenant because I was put in a position where I could promote her, and to be honest with you, the only real reason I did so was so I could keep a better eye on her. The sups thought I was nuts, that's probably why I never got promoted further come to think of it, but you got nothing to worry about. She's good at slashing people up, but everything else they taught her in training just went in one ear and out the other. " I said.
"Ok that does make me feel a bit better." Zari said.
"Good." I said. "Cause when we land I want you to help her pick out a bikini."
"You want me to what?" She asked.
"That's part of her apology punishment, I guess you could say, something like that, she agreed to wear one." I explained.
"Really?" She asked.
"Well the only reason I want to see her in one is cause you were so damned gorgeous in one, you inspired me." I said.
She kissed me on the cheek.
"Ok, I'll do it, but I want you this evening." She said.
"We'll see what happens, I can't make any guarantees. She's not in a sharing mood right now, and seriously, don't get obsessed with me like her, ok." I replied.
"I won't, I just want you for fun, I already met my true love and he died 23 years ago. Atleast you have a chance at getting Phoebe back, I have nothing." She said.
"You have me. And Saphira maybe, and Kitty once you two start getting along again. And whoever else we find. I went through the same thing with Aranea you know, it's not like you're the only one. Now I gotta go find a station to dock at. Remember my warning." I said.
"I get it." She replied.
Eventually we docked at a nearby station that was about a week of traveling away, to get more fuel and some other supplies and things. Kitty and Zari seemed to have cooled down a bit by then.
"Ok I need about 20 fuel rods for the ship." I said to the fuel vendor.
"It's you." The vender replied.
"Yeah it's me, it's the Janali Yaught, dock L3, I think." I replied.
"Yes, but first you must meet our master." He said before running out of his stand and into the street to hail a cab. Beckoning us to follow him when he managed to do so.
"Take them to meet our master." He said to the driver.
"I will refuel your ship, while he takes you to the radio station to meet our master" He said to us before the taxi pulled away.
"What is going on here?" Zari asked.
"I don't know." I replied. "Hopefully nothing bad."
The driver made a few phone calls as he directed us towards the radio station, from there the staff showed us to a room where a radio operator was busy pressing buttons.
"Master we found them, we finally found them." He said.
10 minutes of silence later there was a response. Because of the distance, there was about a ten minute gap between each of her responses. During which we basically just stood around and waited for a response.
"Cj are you there?" Phoebe responded.
"Oh god Pheebles, is that really you, are you alive? " I asked.
"Pheebles?" Saphira chimed.
"She's far away, please, one question at a time and allow a few minutes for response." The technician said.
"Mhm, it's nice to hear your voice again. Hi Saphy." She said 10 minutes later.
"Where are you?" I asked.
"I'm afraid I'm pretty far away, we won't be able to meet for a few more weeks yet." She said.
"Why are they calling you master?" I asked.
"Because I used my powers to take over the entire station, that way if you stopped by they would notice you. There's a machine there that keeps them hypnotized even when I'm far away, I'll turn it off when I come back, don't stay on the station though or else it will start to affect you, is there anyone else with you?" She said.
"Zari, Kitty, and Saphira, I have no idea where Henry, Claire or Iceleomon is." I replied.
"I bet you've been having fun with Kitty haven't you?" She asked, my cheeks went red even though she couldn't see.
"OH yeah he's been having some real fun." Saphira interjected.
"Shhhh." I said.
"It's ok I don't blame you, it's been so long." She said after a few moments of silence later.
At that moment everything went black, the power cut out, emergency lighting came on seconds later but the radio connection was severed, and the mind control device shutdown as well, though it didn't have an immediate effect.
"There's no power the radio is down." The radio technician said. "You all should go wait outside the station. "
"Awwwe I wanted to say something." Saphira said.
"Well, there you have it, she's alive." I said.
"But we never found out if she wants to get back together with you." Kitty said.
"I don't think she would go to this much effort if she didn't." I said as the staff started quietly motioning us back to our taxi.
"But hey Kitty, she said it's going to be a few weeks, and she doesn't mind." I said.
Just then a bunch of Zelusian soldiers arrived in full riot gear.
"Hands up! Everybody down!"
"Woah woah woah." Zari went. "Admiral Zarina Linerman, what the heck are you doing here?"
"Admiral Linerman, what are you doing here?" One of the soldiers asked. "We heard of strange goings on here at this station and the according to our scanners the source seems to be coming from this radio tower. Have the civilians been acting weird?"
"Yeah there's a machine that's hypnotizing everyone, I don't know where it is, but feel free to shut it down. " Zari said without saying anything about Phoebe.
"Actually according to my scanners, there's actually another signal feeding into this tower, coming from outside somewhere off in this direction." Another soldier said.
"What are you doing here admiral?" The lead soldier asked.
"We just came to get supplies and they brought us here." Zari replied. "We'll just be going now if that's allright."
"Of course, have a nice day." The lead soldier replied.
And so we made our way outside the building as the Zelusian army began a galactic wild goose chase. The source of the signal was coming from a missile embedded on the outside of the station, a missile fired from Phoebe's specially designed ship. Finding a single tiny missile sticking out of the side of a massive city-sized space station, however, took quite a while to find, especially if you were trying to find it from the inside, so long in fact, before the soldiers could find it, the "drones" had turned power back on, and the machine gradually hypnotized them into completely forgetting about what they were looking for, as it was designed to protect itself, and, before they could think to leave, it eventually led them into thinking they were all homeless civilians. Of course this wasn't the only station Phoebe had taken over, she really had made quite a mess of things. We tried to get back on board the station to speak with her again, but now the station kept refusing to allow us to dock, the man running the system informed us to simply wait outside.
Locked out of the station, we planned to spend a lot of time in the area, waiting for her to show up, but then Phanon showed up out of the blue with a group of fighters, and a handful of small cargo transports apparently intending to observe the escalating Zelusian activity for scientific reasons. As the Zelusians began to send more a more ships to investigate after an entire squadron went unaccounted for. Phanon seemed to just be watching them at first, but then they recognized our ship and their fighters turned and started shooting at us so we had to get out of there very quickly, they were still after us for some reason even though as far as we both knew their clone had been destroyed. In reality she was recovering quite nicely at a mental hospital in U.S.C space, but according to the news, she was dead. Phanon didn't care they still had us marked for extermination because of what happened to Michael Waters. Reluctantly we had to jump into hyperspace, before they managed to breach our shields, as we didn't have the firepower to take them on. We jumped even further into Zelusian space, and then, just as before, headed to the nearest station to get more fuel. The Zelusian army may have offered to help us, but we didn't have the time to wait for them to put Phanon in their place. Phanon made up some bullshit excuse that they saw something strange and decided to fire at it, to protect their rather vulnerable transports, and the Zelusians were none the wiser.
"She's going to think we ditched her." I said. "Fucking Phanon, why can't they just leave us alone?"
"We didn't have to leave, the Zelusians probably would have told them off." Zari said.
"Our shields were getting down to 80%, I didn't want to take the chance, we don't have the firepower to deal with that many fighters, even one can be a threat if it stays in the turret's blind spot." I replied.
"Are we going to die?" Saphira asked.
"No, not yet, we escaped." I replied.
The area of space we were in was tinted a somewhat sinister red from a large red star in the distance.
"This is the Great Sword of Space contacting the city station Aramadan, requesting docking permission." I said over the radio after the station's name popped up on the navigational screen.
"Permission granted, proceed to dock L1." A robotic voice quickly replied as the autopilot took over.
"Staff must be on break or something." I said.
"You jumped us to the cube?" Zari asked.
"The what? The cube?" I asked in return.
"The Aramadan cube." Zari replied.
"I don't see a cube." I replied.
"No, you idiot, we're in a section of space known as the Aramadan cube, ships go missing here all the time." Zari said. "That's why the computer is answering the radio, Aramadan isn't even a populated station, they lost too many supply ships to the cube and were force to evacuate. We need to jump out of here now, this place is off limits even to Zelusian battleships."
"Do you think they left anything valuable behind?" I asked as I hovered my finger over a button that when pressed would abort the docking procedure.
"No." Zari replied. " Whatever was there pirates have probably taken it already."
"Allright, jumping somewhere else." I said as I pressed the button and began to set up the jump drive.
"Wait let me pick." Zari insisted.
"What? You know somewhere good?" I asked.
"Somewhere better than this." Zari replied.
"100 years and we were so damned close Zari." I said as she started to press some buttons on the navigational screen.
"Well at least you know she's alive." Zari replied.
"Jumpdrive activated, proceeding to hyperspace in 10, 9, 8." The ship's computer said.
We jumped through hyperspace again, and ended up in a brightly lit area with a large space station in the distance.
I contacted the station again and was quickly granted docking permission.
"What's so significant about this place?" I asked Zari.
"Cendropolis 2? Everything." Zari said. "That planet to the left is where I spent my first few years after we got separated."
"So we're at your home basically?" I asked.
"Yeah, over 90 years ago." Zari replied. "also the station here is huge and has a lot of different things for sale, you can even buy ships there."
"I don't think we have the funds for that do we?" I asked.
"No, I don't." Zari replied. "But we could if I did."
It's a bit late to mention it, but Zari was paying for most of our fuel and supplies now because Kitty and I were basically flat broke, Zari had a pension, of all things, she hadn't pissed the Zelusian army off yet so she was still getting money wired to her account. I cashed mine out to help pay for the ship and I don't think Kitty ever thought to establish one.
"Well then we can stop there for fuel and think about maybe reuniting you with your baby girl." Kitty said.
"I wonder if we just warped back there and stayed close to the Zelusian ships, maybe Phanon would be more reluctant to attack." I said.
"Probably." Zari replied. "But for now, I'm going to take Kitty bikini shopping."
"But what if I don't want to go?" Kitty asked.
"It's part of your apology for that thing you did remember?" I asked.
"Oh, right, ok fine I'll go." Kitty said.
"Remember it's for your digivolved form." I added.
"Yeah I know." Kitty replied.
"I guess Saphy and I can just go check things out." I said.
"Right, we'll meet back here in a couple hours." Zari said.
I don't want to go, I'd rather just stay and swim around in the pool." Saphira said.
"You know Saphy that pool is not your room." I replied.
"I know, but I love it so much." She said.
"Well you can go back to it after we check this place out." I said.
"Nah, I'd rather stay here." She replied.
"Suit yourself." I said with a sigh.
So we stopped at this gigantic metropolis of a station, Zari and Kitty left to do some shopping while I went out, ordered some fuel, and basically just explored the area. Although to me it seemed like just another station compared to all the others I had been too, aside from it being huge and 2 hours not being near enough time to explore the whole thing. And there were a lot of people. So I ended up returning to the ship way before 2 hours were up.
The refueling technician, the person whose entire job revolves around pushing a heavy, well-insulated cart around on larger ships and replacing spent fuel rods with useable ones, was unusually attractive, her green skin as radiant as the reactors she serviced, it was a damned shame she wasn't immortal, as I could not afford to love another woman like that. I could only stand back and admire her beauty, and be grateful of what I did have. She would make a fine catch for some mortal someday, if she hadn't already.
I showed her where the engine room was to make her job that much easier, as she seemed to be a bit confused, and then I went to check on Saphira, who as usual, was just hanging out in the pool which was on deck 4, sandwiched between a lounge and another series of bedrooms.
"I thought you'd be in here." I said as I entered the room.
"I try to be as much as possible." She replied.
"So you spent the last century on a planet populated by sapient jellyfish?" I asked.
"Mhm." Saphira replied.
"What was that like?" I asked.
"Well, when they reproduce the males rip sacks of sperm out of their butts and hand them to the female, who may or may not accept them." Saphira explained. "And it used to be fatal according to their history, but they found a way to fix it medically, even though the mortality rate is still fairly high."
"OOkay." I replied. "Awkward place to start."
"And because the male basically kills himself to reproduce, it is usually a really really offensive thing for the female to reject unless the male was being very stupid about it."
"Ok, well, what else about them is interesting?" I asked.
"Well that was the most shocking thing, they risk their lives everytime they have sex." Saphira said. "And then the female lays something like 100 eggs, but only the strongest are raised, the rest are left to die."
"Well, I can't imagine having a hundred kids to be very practical." I replied.
"Well it was normal for most of their families to have twenty to thirty kids, and the males can only successfully reproduce three times or whenever they run out of sperm packets, they don't grow back." Saphira said.
"Well that sucks." I replied. "So what else?"
"They live entirely underwater. Look do you really want to talk about this or do you want to have some fun? Because the last time I had sex was with you and Phoebe a century ago and after seeing you and Kitty in here a while ago, I realized, I kind of want to know what it feels like again, and I don't know when Phoebe is going to get back so." Saphira replied as she started to undress herself.
"Really, a few days ago you weren't even sure if you wanted to stay here." I replied.
"Well I do." She said as she finished undressing, herself and threw her clothes to the side but still covered up her breasts with her arms as if she was unsure of what she just did.
"Ok fine." I replied as I got undressed as well.
"You won't regret this." She said as I entered the pool.
She put her arms around me and drew me into a kiss.
And things escalated from there.
"Oh yes, oh this feels so good, it's been so long." Saphira moaned. "Except I don't have a Phoebe to lick."
"You know she's still technically my wife right?" I asked.
"Yeah, well whatever." She said.
"I'm going to have to fuck you harder for saying that." I said.
"Oh yeah well, she had such nice boobs too." Saphira continued.
"Yeah." I said.
"I can't wait to rub them against my own again, and suck on her pretty silvery nipples." Saphira said.
"Fuck you." I replied.
"You are fucking me you idiot." She said.
"Hehe, yeah I am aren't I?" I replied. "You know what though?"
"What?" She asked.
"Her skin was never as slick as yours. And her nips were never as perky." I said.
"Awe, well she never had a dick either." She awkwardly replied.
"Oh crap. We're being watched." I said when I realized the refueling technician was watching us through the windows, probably got lost looking for the lower reactor room on deck 2.
"What?" Saphira asked.
"The refuel lady." I said.
"Mmm, she's pretty cute, she can be the Phoebe." Saphira said.
"Are you nuts, she's just a normal girl ." I asked.
"She'll do, get off of me." Saphira replied.
I complied, she chased the refuel tech down the hall until she finally caught her at a corner.
"You obviously like what you see if you were standing there for that long." She said to the terrified cutey.
"I'm sorry, I just, I." She tried to make up an excuse.
Meanwhile I put my pants back on and came up behind them.
"Look you have two choices you can join us or we complain to management." Saphira said.
"Cut the crap Saphy, if she wants to go she can go." I said.
"I kind of want to join." The tech replied before unceremonious pulling down my pants and sticking my cock in her mouth.
"What the fuck?" I replied.
"Come on you like it." Saphira said.
"Yeah but, this never happened to me before." I replied. "I don't even know her name."
"It's Kierra." She replied.
"Cute name." I said.
"Just come back to the pool when you're ready. I'll be waiting." Saphy said.
"What the hell?" I asked as she left me alone with this green-skinned cutey.
"AM I doing this right?" Kierra asked.
"Yeah, this isn't your first time is it?" I replied.
"I've done this before I haven't gone, all the way before." She said.
"Oookay." I said.
"It's easy tips." She added.
"If you say so." I replied.
"So who are you?" She asked as she stood up for a moment. "What kind of job do you have to afford a ship like this?"
"Are you going to keep going?" I asked.
"Well I figured now that the pushy princess is gone we could actually get a bit more acquainted." She said.
"Well, it's me, the pushy princess, and Kitty and Zari are out shopping right now, but they'll be back later. Kitty and I bought this ship with nearly everything we had saved up over our careers, and Zari keeps it running.
"You retired?" She asked. "Where did you work?"
"The army." I said.
"Bull." Kierra replied.
"We're all immortal, Kitty and I served for over forty years and Zari served for probably around 60." I said as I awkwardly pulled my pants back up.
"We're not that rich if that's what you're thinking, this ship is literally all we have." I said.
"It's still more than I'd ever be able to afford." Kierra replied.
"Well we do have extra rooms." I said. "Can you cook? We could use a cook. I ended up on a ship with 3 beautiful women and I do most of the cooking."
Zari and I were the only ones with any cooking skills whatsoever, the digibabes were hopeless.
"No, and no, I can't leave my father." She replied.
"Fair enough." I said.
"But why don't you show me what the rooms are like anyway?" She asked.
"Did you forget about me?" Saphira asked.
"No, no we didn't." I said.
"You get impatient?" I asked.
"Yes I'm impatient why aren't her big green boobs out yet?" Saphy said.
"I don't know, how about it babe mind showing us your tits?" I asked.
"Are we going to go all the way?" She asked.
"Do you want to?" I asked in return.
"I think it's about time." She said.
"Well ok then why don't you come back to the pool and strip for us so we can see what we're working with?" I asked.
"Ok." She said.
We headed back to the pool, Saphy and I got back in and watched our new friend strip naked before having a pretty incredible threesome. Then she left our ship, more than likely never to be seen again. Saphira and I bonded just a little bit over this, but she still kept me at a distance because she really just wanted Phoebe.
By the time Kitty and Zari returned it was as if nothing had happened, but I went and admitted it anyway.
"So uh, Saphira and I kind of fooled around a bit while you were gone." I admitted.
"Called it." Zari replied.
"Also the refueling lady got involved." Saphira said.
"Called it." Kitty said.
"You did not." I refused to believe.
"Yeah you did." Zari said as she handed Kitty some money.
"How?" I asked.
"She was cute and we left you alone with her." Kitty replied.
"So you're just banging random strangers now?" Zari asked.
" Well, that was kind of a fluke." I explained.
"Don't do that again, we can't have you getting any STDS, and what would Phoebe think?" Zari asked.
"All I know is if she was there and she caught some girl that looked like that watching us it would have ended the same way." I replied.
"So she caught you? Awwwe." Kitty asked as she handed Zari her money back.
"Yeah, you're probably right but still." Zari said.
"You never did anything like this when Aranea was alive did you?" Zari asked.
"No, not even, and never when Phoebe was here either unless she instigated it." I replied.
"Look you just better be ready for this evening." Zari said.
"Ok." I replied. "What's this afternoon?"
"You'll see, but no more banging random strangers, we should be more than enough for you until we meet up with Phoebe again."
"Yeah, you're right. Sorry." I said. "Also sorry Kitty."
"It's ok, Phoebe is alive, we probably won't even be together next week." Kitty said.
"But Phoebe will draw the line somewhere you know it." Zari said.
"Yeah, I know." I replied.
"Oh come on, Phoebe's not back yet he can bang anyone he wants as long as he's always there when I need him." Kitty said.
"Kitty, you're an idiot." Zari said. "Aren't you supposed to be his girlfriend, how do you not see anything wrong with this?"
"Well if Phoebe doesn't want him then I can have him. And the more women he sleeps with, the less chance she'll want him. And he's not really my boyfriend anymore, we're kind of just friends that happen to sleep in the same bed."
"That doesn't make a lot of sense Kitty." I replied.
"So you're fine with him being a man-whore as long as he marries you?" Zari asked.
"Hey. It was one random person, one!" I replied. "It's not like I bang a new girl everywhere we stop."
"Do you even understand what marriage is?" Zari asked Kitty.
"Yes and I know he'll commit, I know he will, if he sees that Phoebe doesn't want him." Kitty replied.
"She is right about that." I said. "I'd rather commit to one of you then being in whatever situation this is forever and Kitty has seniority."
"Ok Kitty, you need to stop encouraging him and being an idiot, and you, Cj, you need to get to the hospital and get yourself checked for stds."
"She was a virgin." I said.
"Fuck." Zari said as she handed the money back to Kitty.
"Kitty how do you even have money to gamble with?" I asked.
"She bet things besides money." Zari replied.
"Like what?" I asked.
"Nights with you." Zari said.
"Really I'm worth, what is that 50 credits to you?" I asked.
"Well recently you've been sleeping with her so much anyway I couldn't guarantee it wouldn't happen again unless I bet against her." Kitty said. "I'm sorry."
"Eh whatever." I replied. "As soon as Phoebe is back I'm probably not going to sleep with either of you anyway, not that it's either of your faults."
"Whatever, just get to the hospital." Zari said.
"But she was a virgin." I said.
"Yeah, well, we've got to be sure. I mean it, Cj as a friend. I know a lot of crewmembers that did the wrong person and only had 5 years or so to live." Zari insisted. "It broke my heart everytime to watch them deteriorate until they couldn't make it any further.
"Fine." I said, not expecting her to go that deep.
"I'll go with you so I can spend my money." Kitty replied.
-50 awkward minutes later-
"It's negative, see told you." I said as I showed Zari the results.
"And I bought this cute stuffed thing!" Kitty happily replied as she displayed her new prize. A thing that looked like a greyish-green koala bear with 4 eyes in a bizarre x shape. Holding a sign that said "get Well" on it that she totally just bought from the hospital gift shop.
"Good, now let's get out of here and get you back to Phoebe." Zari said.
"Allright, I'll go set the ship to jump again." I said.
"I'll help you so we can get in a decent position and avoid Phanon." Zari said.
"If you say so." I replied.
We jumped back to the vicinity of the hypnotized station and moved in close to a Zelusian Assault Frigate that was hovering, but not docked at the station. These mid-sized, modestly armed ships carried large amounts of troops and were usually used to secure stations and areas of planets the Zelusians didn't want to just blow up, but right now it had troops busy investigating the station. At this point they had finally found the machine that Phoebe was using to hypnotize everyone by sending in soldiers that were naturally immune to hypnosis, and now it was safely aboard the ship, being studied by scientists while some of the soldiers as well as the entire population of the station where recovering from its effects. They discovered the device was created on planet Rhynelios, and now a second assault frigate was heading over there. Whatever the girls were planning that afternoon got postponed because I couldn't get over the fact that Phoebe could come back any moment. Days passed, the Zelusian ship left and with the hypnosis machine gone, we docked at the station so Phanon couldn't do jack to us. And then we just watched the radar.
"What if she never shows?" I asked.
"She will. " Zari tried to reassure me.
"If she doesn't show up will you marry me?" Kitty asked.
"Kitty this is serious, and no, not until I find out why." I said.
"Can we atleast start having sex again?" She asked.
"I don't know." I replied, not in the mood to think about it.
We couldn't contact her again either, the people at the radio station didn't even remember her, so we really were just reduced to hanging around and hoping she might show up. It wasn't he most exciting time. Here we were in space of all places, bored out of our minds. Then a huge ship appeared on the radar that wasn't of Zelusian, U.S.C or even Phanon origin, neither I nor Zari could identify it, but it quickly came towards us. It got fairly close then stopped.
"You think it's some kind of cargo ship or?" I said.
"I don't know, I've never seen anything like it." Zari replied. "What kind of cargo ship has missile bays on the front?"
"Maybe it stuffs cargo into the missiles and then shoots them at a planet?" I asked.
"Why would it do that when it could just land on the planet?" Zari asked.
"It doesn't seem to be hostile." I replied, as it was now well within range of launching an attack if it wanted to.
"Oh, it's not hostile it's my ship." Phoebe replied from behind.
"Oh ok then I guess we don't . . . . have . . . too. PHEEBLES!"
"Hi Cj." She said as I got out of my chair and hugged her seconds later.
"Oh my god I missed you." I said.
"Don't squeeze so hard." She replied.
"Can I kiss you or do you have another husband?" I asked.
"Only you Cj." She replied. "You're not married to Kitty are you?"
"Oh hell no, she can't replace you, nobody can." I said.
"Awwe." Kitty said as we kissed.
"Are you going to let go of me?" Phoebe asked.
"Never, never again, it's been too long." I said.
"Is this the same dress you were wearing when we got separated?" I asked it looked very similar, but it was so long ago I couldn't really remember.
"Oh, no honey, I had new ones made for me since then." She said. "It's custom made you like?"
"It's really soft." I said.
"Mhm." She agreed.
"I don't really remember what your other ones looked like so I can't really tell the difference." I said.
"Oh well I assure you it's not the same dress. Anyway I'm glad you're still alive, I thought you would've been cut to shreds by something or other by now." Phoebe said.
"Well I retired for about twenty years, Kitty I just headed into space a few months ago. Didn't seem like the U.S.C was having any luck finding you so I decided to go and look for myself." I said.
"Oh Cj." She said as she squeezed me just a bit tighter. Something felt a bit off, but I chalked it up to not having her in my arms for well over a hundred years.
"I wish I could say I was never with anyone else, but I." I began to say.
"Oh it's ok Cj, anyway I need to say something to everyone else so please if you could let go of me for just a bit." Phoebe gracefully replied.
"Oh, allright, what do you have to say?" I asked.
"Well, I just want to say thankyou to everyone for looking after my husband, especially you Kitty, but now, we have a lot of catching up to do and Cj no more fooling around, especially with random refuel ladies Saphira how the heck could you let that happen? Seriously?" She said.
"I'm sorry I didn't think you would mind." Saphira said.
"Well I do mind, he could get sick or she could get pregnant and then what? Charley could have a half-brother he'll never even know about." Phoebe said.
"Well he does have a half-sister." I said.
"I know." Phoebe replied. "and a brother."
"We don't talk about him." I said.
"You should go rescue him Cj, nobody else will." Phoebe said.
"What are we going to do with a damned baby?" I asked. "We can't even get back to our own yet."
"We will, I have no doubt about it." Phoebe said. "I've already figured out how to get back to the digital world, but we need to get the whole group back together first. "
"We've been working on that." I said.
"I see, you've rounded up all the ladies for yourself." Phoebe replied.
"Well that's just how things worked out, I didn't do that intentionally." I said. "I've been looking for Henry and Iceleomon too, I just never figured out where the hell they are."
"So how do you know all this stuff so fast?" I said.
"You see my ship out there?" Phoebe asked.
"Yeah, it's a weird looking thing." I replied.
"Yeah well, it's specially designed to work with and amplify my powers. With it I can scan all the minds on an entire planet in seconds, and then search through the information on a computer until I find exactly what I need. I can hypnotize entire planets, I can effectively conquer the whole known universe."
"Great, so now you're an evil overlord." I replied.
"No, Cj, I only did what I had to do to find you, now that it's done, I don't need that kind of power anymore." She said.
"100 years babe." I replied.
"And you still love me." She said.
"I think about you every day." I replied.
"Did you really just go a century without sex?" I asked.
"Never question my self-control again." Phoebe replied.
"And you still want me?" I asked.
"If you'll have me and you're willing to be mine exclusively again." Phoebe said.
"We'll have to get married again won't we?" I asked.
"Yeah I don't think this part of the universe acknowledges our marriage yet." Phoebe said.
"Zari why don't you hit the jumpdrive, get us to planet Paloran." I said.
"That's U.S.C space." Zari replied.
"I know, just …"
"I know another beach planet where the U.S.C won't try to kill us." Zari suggested.
"Ok go there." I replied.
"The U.S.C is after you?" Phoebe asked.
"Yeah, just like old times eh?" I replied.
"Too much like old times." She replied.
"We can take my ship, nobody will recognize it." Phoebe said. "Then we can be alone for a few days and come back."
"You have a jumpdrive?" I asked.
"Mhm." Phoebe replied.
"Ok, Phoebe and I are going to go have some alone time on Paloran." I said.
"You three, you can go to that other beach planet, or you can chill out here, but we'll meet back here in 72 hours hows that sound?"
"Ok, do what you gotta do." Zari replied.
"Kitty why don't you come with us?" Phoebe said.
"Are you sure baby girl?" I asked.
"Yes, you were with her longer than you were with me, and, well, I want to work things out properly." Phoebe replied.
"Why? Just so I can watch you screw my boyfriend for the last 20 years?" Kitty asked, she knew this day would come, but she was still hurt.
"No, Kitty, it's not like that at all." Phoebe said. "Just come with us, I'll explain later. "
-About 2 hours later, on Paloran.
"So this is where you and Aranea lived. " Phoebe asked as we came upon our old house, it was why I wanted to go here, after all, so I could better explain what I had been up to for the past century.
"After we retired yeah, though we spent most of her life on the Apocalla, our daughter lived next door for a while too. "
"And some of your great grandchildren still live around here." Phoebe said.
"Yep, some of them." I replied. "I doubt any of them even remember me."
"You're a legend to them. They look up to you even though they never met you." Phoebe said.
"Oh, right, you met them." I replied.
"Yes I did." Phoebe replied.
"I lived on the other side of town for a while and then after Aranea passed I lived here with Cj for a while too." Kitty said. "It was a nice house, but I hated living so close to the ocean."
"Yeah and it was all getting too busy too." I said. "You see all those big hotels and skyscrapers? Not one of those was around when we moved here."
"Can I see her?" Phoebe asked.
"Aranea? Yeah, she was buried just a few blocks from here." I said.
So we headed to the cemetary, found her grave as well as my daughter's and her husband, I pulled my beloved close and started to cry as I remembered her last words.
"I found her babe, you never got to see it, but I finally found her." I said.
"Oh Cj, you really loved her." Phoebe said as she tried to comfort me.
"If you can hear me, thank you for looking after my husband, and for providing him with a family." She said with a hand on her grave as she started to cry as well.
"You had your heart broken that day didn't you?" Phoebe said.
"Yes." I replied. "And then again when my daughter passed. I guess I'm lucky though not many people get 2 loves of their life."
"Awwe." She replied.
"Good grief." Kitty said.
"You did get hurt without me." Phoebe pointed out.
"Well, I guess it was unavoidable." I replied.
We held each other for quite some time as a bored Kitty looked on.
"Why am I even here?" Kitty asked.
"You'll see in a bit." Phoebe replied.
"He doesn't even love me." Kitty said.
"He does but he won't admit it because he loves me more." Phoebe said.
"She's right." I said, reluctantly.
"Why don't you just come here Kitty?" Phoebe asked. "Everything will be fine."
"It's not fair, I've been with him much longer than you have." Kitty said.
"Yeah, but, we have kids Kitty, we still need to get back to them, and well, I'll explain later." Phoebe said.
I spent the rest of the day showing Phoebe around the parts of town I could remember that still existed, until that evening we ended up at the bar I used to go to every weekend. I tried to be impartial as it was clear Kitty wasn't exactly cool with all this.
"This place is pretty busy." Phoebe said.
"Yeah, it was almost always like this." I said. "I think my picture is on the wall somewhere, if I remember correctly and they kept it up."
"It's over there." Kitty pointed out.
"Oh yeah it is, sweet." I said.
"See that's me, Kitty, and Aranea, when she was still alive, and our daughter, on her 18TH, who was weeks away from leaving for training. That was actually before we moved here, we were just here once on vacation, back when this place was basically just one big beach and a handful of huts and stores."
"Your daughter was kind of hot. I bet that was a lot of trouble." Phoebe said.
"I don't even know how to react to that." I replied with a laugh. "No but seriously a few weeks after that photo was taken she left for training at the U.S.C headquarters, and we rarely saw her after that, we were lucky if we saw her 4 times a year, then she got married and finally slowed down, just a bit. Another 20 years of service and she retired and moved here right next to us.
"Whose Kitty's boyfriend?" Phoebe asked.
"I don't even remember he's probably dead by now." Kitty said.
"Oh yeah there was a time when everyone here knew who she was." I said.
"Really?" Phoebe asked.
"Oh yeah, after we retired and moved here for good she went and dated half of them." I said.
"Really?" Phoebe said with a heightened sense of interest.
"Well what was I supposed to do?" Kitty said.
"Nothing, it was just kind of funny. There we were in our sixtys and you're dating college grads, senile old men, basically whoever had the guts buy you a drink was your boyfriend atleast for a day." I replied.
"Well they were nice to me." Kitty replied. "Unlike you, you cheepskate."
"Kitty, pretty much every time I refused to buy you a drink it was clear you already had too much." I said. "Just cause you won't black out from it like everyone else does not mean you should just keep going."
"She can get drunk?" Phoebe asked.
"Yeah, super drunk, about as drunk as anyone can be without blacking out." I said. "And if she drinks enough she can be that way for hours, and then she starts knocking stuff over and accidently scratching people, and, it's a miracle she never got thrown out of here to be honest."
"Well it's getting pretty late you wanna go back to the ship? Grab a hotel for the night, what you wanna do baby girl?" I asked.
"Do you still have our wedding ring?" Phoebe asked.
"Yeah, and Aranea's." I said.
"Good, Let's get married again." Phoebe said as she revealed that she still had hers.
"Again?" I asked.
"Can I just stay here?" Kitty asked.
"Kitty, ever since we were separated I knew this could be what I would come back too. I knew it was really likely you two would end up together if Cj happened to find you first, I don't blame either you or him, but during all this time I found a solution so we can resolve this peacefully. And so, Kitty, as a reward for looking after my husband all of these years, we're going to make you our Virara." Phoebe said.
"What the hell is that?" I asked.
"Well there's an alien society where they marry in threes, husband, wife, and then virara, who is frequently somebody who is infertile, as it's a species where it is common for children to be born that way, but the virara generally acts as a peacekeeper between the two, helps raise the kids and tends to either one when the other can't be there." Phoebe said.
"You mean it?" Kitty asked.
"Of course." Phoebe replied.
"What about Saphira?" I asked.
"Oh, she'll understand." Phoebe replied.
"Allright so where are we going to do this then?" I asked.
"Anywhere is fine, doesn't have to be fancy." Phoebe said.
"Looks like you finally found her." The bartender said.
"Hi Jackey." Kitty said.
"Kitty, how's it going?" He replied.
"Yep, here she is. Still running your father's bar huh?" I asked.
"Hey, business is great I'm about to open a second location downtown." Jackey replied.
"Cool, well, we're just passing through, thought I'd show her where I spent the last 40 years or so." I said.
I remembered when his father used to run the bar and he was just a little kid running around on occasion as his mother, who was modestly involved in real estate, was busy with whatever that involved.
"Well let me get another picture for the wall." He said.
"Um, I don't think that's necessary." I replied.
"Oh come on, two lovers reunited, it's a beautiful story." He said as he pulled a polaroid style camera out from behind the bar.
"Now just hold her close, like that, right, awesome. This will be great for the second location." He said as he took the picture.
"Anyway, we got some other things to do this evening, so, we'll be on our way." I said. "Nice seeing you though."
"Allright well, come back any time." He replied as he shook the picture and set it on top of a stack of others he planned to use to decorate the walls with at some point.
"Allright so what were we doing?" I asked.
"We were going to get married, again." Phoebe said.
"Oh, right." I replied.
Because this planet was heavily involved in tourism, there were quite a few wedding chapels around that would cater to a wide variety of religions. So we found one and waited in line, and watched other random people get married.
"So this is it then I'm finally getting married." Kitty said.
"Sort of." I replied. "I never saw this coming, but as long as you're both happy I'll roll with it."
"It's going to be a fun night tonight." Phoebe said.
"Yeah it is." I replied.
"What's her new form look like naked?" She asked me.
"You won't be disappointed." I replied.
"Great." Phoebe said.
"I thought I'd take her shopping after this, so we can look our best, you know, for tonight." Phoebe said.
"Yeah. If we have the money." I said.
"We will, don't worry, and then you can get cleaned up too, and maybe we could get some new dresses."
I knew right away that by that she meant she would use her powers to get away with stealing things.
"That you're going to immediately take off?" I asked.
"Zari made me bring my bikini." Kitty said.
"Don't you hate water?" Phoebe asked.
"Yeah, but." Kitty began to explain.
"It's part of her apology for a rather wicked thing she did recently." I explained.
"Oh, that thing." Phoebe said.
"Yeah that thing." I replied. "I haven't even seen her wear it yet, we found you first."
The thing the U.S.C didn't really react to because at the end of the day she was just a clone. They were more after us for what they could come after us for, abuse of mind control and property damage, not helped by the increased vigilance caused by Phoebe's little escapade. Though the severity of the abuse pretty much guaranteed we'd see the maximum sentence if we were caught.
"So what you want to spend the night on your ship or you wanna grab a hotel?" I asked.
"Uh, let's get a hotel, I have some cleaning up to do first." A slightly nervous Phoebe said.
"Weird, you were never that messy." I said.
"Well, I uh, I kind of cheated, kind of." Phoebe said.
"What do you mean kind of that doesn't make any sense you can't kind of have sex with someone, and besides it's like 4 to one so. I mean Pheebles, I honestly don't care if you got gangbanged by a bunch of guys with 11 inch dicks at this point. I'm just glad you're back." I said.
"Well in that case the walls of my room are plastered with pictures of you that I got off of my phone, and guys that sort of look like you, and some girls, and I have a healthy collection of sex toys." Phoebe said. 'I'd much rather stay in a hotel so you don't see it and get freaked out."
"You've got to be kidding me." I said. "I'm not sure if that's more hilarious or sad."
"It got me by all this time." Phoebe said.
"She had sex with a toy? But Mr. Space koala doesn't have any parts. " Kitty said out of confusion.
"Oh good grief." Phoebe said. "Same old Kitty."
"Yep." I replied. "Not that kind of toy. Kitty."
"Maybe I'll show you later ok." Phoebe suggested.
"Sounds fun." I said.
"Maybe it will be." Phoebe replied.
An hour or so later we had the cheapest wedding imaginable in front of a bunch of random, mostly drunk tourists, many of which would likely regret their decisions the next morning.
"I now pronounce you husband and wife, you may kiss the bride." The "preacher" said in the same way a fast food service worker would ask if you wanted fries with your meal.
"Come here Pheebles. I missed you so much." I said as we shared a passionate kiss. A few random, likely drunk idiots cheered.
"And now, as per Qanlesian tradition, if the new Mr. and Mrs. wish to nominate a Virara to accompany both of them in their journey of holy matrimony with the guidance of the eternal ruler Qan Lee now is the time to do so." The preacher said as he stared at his script with an amusing amount of confusion.
"Kitty." Phoebe said.
"Yeah get up here babe." I added.
"Do you Kitty agree to accept Phoebe and Cj's nomination of you to be their one and only Virara, and to commit your life to accompany and serve both of them on their journey of holy matrimony with the guidance of the eternal ruler Qan Lee." The preacher asked.
"Yes." Kitty agreed.
Then by the power vested in me by the Paloran government in allegiance with the U.S.C and the eternal ruler Qan Lee, I make you their official Virara, may you be the bond that holds these two together on their journey of holy matrimony with the guidance of the eternal ruler Qan Lee." The preacher said.
"I don't get a kiss?" Kitty asked, prompting me to go ahead and pull her into one, feeling she more than deserved it, Phoebe didn't even seem to mind.
"Awwwe." Phoebe said while the crowd cheered and wooed.
-a few seconds later-
"Kitty it's just a kiss we're not supposed to make out." I said as she started to get a little too affectionate, so we just started hugging instead.
"You're not even supposed to kiss." The preacher said.
"I'll allow it." Phoebe interjected as she joined us in our hug.
"I present to you the new happy couple and their new Virara! Whatever that is." The preacher said as another staff member started to usher us off of the stage.
After that we spent about an hour shopping and basically preparing for the epic night we were about to have. We went dancing for a bit, but not very long because it was getting pretty late by that point, so we got two hotel rooms so Phoebe and I could be alone together for the first time in 100 years. Then we made love, we tied, which proved she still loved me, though something seemed somewhat off, but I chalked it up to being away from her for 100 years. In fact it wasn't just the sex a lot of her general movements just seemed kind of strange and she insisted on hovering everywhere instead of walking, which she could always do, but she seemed to do so a lot more than I remembered. Anyway, once we had consummated our marriage once again and were ready for a second round we headed next door and awoke a sleeping Kitty who was looking rather amazing in her new bikini, so I could show her off to my beloved, and I woke up the next morning between the two of them. Then we spent the day on one of the many beaches, where Phoebe used her ship, which was idling around in orbit, to freeze everyone in the area so we could have the place to ourselves for a few hours, and after convincing Kitty to come out onto the sand with us we had yet another threesome. Then we got dressed, and headed back into space to meet up with Zari and Saphira, who apparently had their own fun. But not before Phoebe introduced Kitty to her toys, which led to another threesome and their final use before she decided to eject them out of the air lock along with most of her pictures of me and other guys that just happened to look somewhat like me. By the time we got back to Zari and Saphira, we had our fix and needed to rest for awhile.
"Hey Zari how's it going?" I asked as I got back on my own ship with Phoebe and Kitty following me.
"I met this great guy we had an amazing time." Zari said.
"Good for you." Phoebe said.
"What happened to not having sex with random strangers?" I asked.
"What? He was young, we were on vacation. You got Phoebe back so I thought it was ok." Zari said.
"Maybe you should get tested for Stds." I replied.
"Oh fuck off." Zari replied. "Wait, you're not really jealous are you?"
"No, I'm just giving you shit cause you gave me shit." I replied.
"I got my baby girl back we're all cool." I said as I wrapped my arm around Phoebe.
"And Kitty is now our official, verara or something like that." I said.
"Oookay." Zari replied.
"He married both of us." Kitty said.
"Sort of." I replied.
"How was your time Saphy?" Phoebe asked.
"It was ok. I wish you were there though." She replied.
"Oh, come on, you can have me tonight." Phoebe said.
"What?" I asked.
"Well Cj, you slept with her when I wasn't here. As well as that random fuel girl, and there's all those times with Zari and Kitty which you don't even remember them all, you can spare one night so I can reacquaint myself with my digimon and get things sorted out with her." She said.
"But I just got you back." I said.
"It's just one night." Phoebe replied. "Then you can have me for forever."
"Ok, but I get Kitty." I said.
"That's why she's here." Phoebe replied with a smile before kissing me on the cheek. I just stood there and shook my head for a moment before moving on.
"So where are we going to go now?" I asked.
"Well I was hoping our captain would have an idea." Zari replied.
"Still have to find Henry, Claire, and IceLeomon." I said.
"Yep." Zari replied.
"Pheebles you ever find any information about them?" I asked.
"Nope." She replied.
"You want to sell you ship so we can get some more money?" I asked.
"Why?" Phoebe asked.
"It only has two bedrooms, no pool, and not a lot of other comforts." I said.
"But it can help us find them." Phoebe replied.
"Yeah, but how are we going to fly two ships at once?" I asked.
"It will follow us automatically." Phoebe said.
"We'll see how well that goes." I said.
"Also since we don't know where to even begin to look for them, maybe we should think about rescuing Cj's son." Phoebe suggested.
"No." I replied.
"But then we can reunite him with the clone lady." Phoebe said.
"Fuck her she's been nothing but trouble." I said.
"Cj, with my ship, rescuing your son will be a cake walk, I just press a few buttons and the whole place will be under my control." Phoebe said.
"Why are you so concerned about him, he's not even yours." I said. "He's just some random kid I had with some clone that I don't even remember being with because she knocked me out before having sex with me."
"If it's going to be as easy as you say it is we might as well just do it." Zari said.
"Great, set a course for Phanon Headquarters." Phoebe said.
"We'll get attacked before we even make it there." I said.
"I'll handle it don't worry." Phoebe said. "Cj I singlehandedly took control of over 150 planets and stations using that ship, a few fighters and even capital ships won't stand a chance."
"If you say so." I replied. "But how long is that going to last? The Zelusians are already onto you, they'll shutdown your machine over there before you even got here."
"There are some alien species out there that can't be mind-controlled." Zari said. "You're not even the first to try to conquer the galaxy with it. I'm amazed you've gotten as far as you claim."
"I wasn't even trying to conquer it, I was just trying to find Cj." Phoebe said. "That just became the easiest way."
"The U.S.C has been looking for you too, or at least they were, I doubt they care about that anymore, thanks to Kitty." I said.
"That's good then, if they aren't looking for me." Phoebe said.
"They don't even know what you look like, so, that's good too." I added.
We spent the rest of the evening just having a good time in general until it was eventually time for bed, which was pretty much just whenever we felt tired as there was no night or day in space.
