Okay guys and girls, another chapter. So I'm typing this up really quick before I head into work. Now I do warn some of you, you're probably thinking 'Hey he's starting to get cracky again with AJ and Melania.'

And sadly I wish that were the case. And that people like them didn't actually exist, but they do.

So we all got to deal with that.

Earth

"Just one more day." Winter was trying to calm Nala down.

But Pa had a different way of getting the lionness to calm down. Instead of telling her to be patient, he set up a lot of glass bottles for her to shoot at. He couldn't help but feel a sense of pride at seeing how much Nala was like them. If she had been born in the US, she would have had a great beginning. Luckily the smell of the burnt gunpowder and the sound of a shattered bottle helped to take her mind off of Jem.

Winter was worried about him too. But if there was one thing she learned about him, it was that he was lucky as hell even before Clover showed up. The only thing she was worried about was what would Jem do if he encountered Grimm? She was certain he had his concealed carry weapon on him, but she couldn't imagine him having a lot of extra rounds to spare. And while she may have unlocked his aura, the situation remained the same that he didn't have a lot. He would be lucky if he had a semblance.

He had just enough aura to take some hits from Grimm, but there was no way in hell he would ever be a powerhouse like Yang or Ruby. So his best bet would be to fight smart.

But as soon as she thought that, she face palmed.

He was an American, and he would most likely follow the american way of fighting.

Fire a shit ton of bullets until everything was dead.

She turned to see Blake who for some reason was looking stranger than usual.

"You worried about Jem too?" Winter asked as she shook her head.

"It's not that, its something...elsewhere...elusive..." She said as Winter rubbed her eyes.

"Are you seriously quoting star wars right now?"

"Look, I'm sorry, but I got a bad feeling about this." Blake said as Weiss groaned this time.

"Blake! Enough with the star wars quotes!" Everyone groaned as Blake was just ripping off the most famous lines.

"Okay sorry, but I'm serious, I can feel a d-" Everyone glared at her.

"Okay again I'm sorry, but I'm serious, something feels off." She couldn't put her finger on it, but she was certain something was going to happen.

"You're just being silly." Ruby said as she was certain nothing odd was going to happen.

Meanwhile outside the house

"More Tea M'lady?" AJ said as Melania was in her usual goth attire but this time she had swiped out her tiger ears for black panther ears.

"Yes, make it quick." She said as she held out her cup.

They had turn AJ's creepy peeping into a sophisticated operation. Well, actually Melania had turned it into a sophisticated operation since the tents, the camp stove, and all the equipment was hers. She always wanted to be CIA as a kid, so she would buy a ton of gear to spy on her neighbors. But the best thing about this situation so far? AJ was a complete wimp against her will. She could literally relax as he did the heavy lifting, and the idiot was even serving her tea. It was perfect.

She often wondered if this was what it felt like to be a disney villian. Because she was enjoying this. Even if AJ would stare at Blake like a five star meal. She rolled her eyes at the boy. She wouldn't call him a man, that was reserved for her precious Jem. Which that made her frown.

They had been observing the house for two days now, and she had not seen a trace of him. At first she could have believed he was staying in the motorhome, but there is no way he had been in there for two days withot coming out once, especially because he had a job and it was in the middle of the work week. Something was off. But she wasn't going to believe AJ's tales of 'Blue portals and real life anime characters'.

As far as she was concerned, Jem was just busy. Either way, she would continue to monitor the situation closely.

"Do me a favor and go pick up my dry cleaning." She said as AJ nodded.

"Yes M'lady! Could it wait til after lunch? I'm hungry and its a long wa-" Aj was cut off as a riding crop nearly slapped him upside the face.

"NOW!" She yelled as he whimpered and scurried off.

"Ugh, I was hoping to use this on Jem." She smirked as she was certain once she had Jem that she could make him submit to her will.

Oh the fun things she had planned. She brought her boots up on the little foot rest she along with her camp chair. She knew now she had been a bit too 'hasty' with Jem. She would slowly have to earn his trust again before she brought out all her little toys. He may be screaming no at the beginning, but she could guarantee he would be screaming yes at the end.

But before she could do any of that, she would still have to find out where he was hiding.

Ugh, too bad dealing with his cousin was insufferable. He was useful as a lap dog, and as long as she kept dangling that "Bellabooty" in front of him like a rabbit and a carrot, then they would be just fine.

Belladonna estate

"Okay now this is getting ridiculous, I swear to god I feel like I'm about to be asked for 'Extra Sausage' for breakfast." Jem said as for some reason, the only clothes that Kali and Ghira had for him to wear were shorts that were too tight on him, and a tank top along with the apron from yesterday.

Why was he wearing these clothes? Well, because he had tripped while washing dishes and he got himself soaked. Now this usually wouldn't have been an issue except for one thing.

Ghira wasn't his size, and he wasn't about to start crossdressing if Kali was the only one who had clothes. Eventually they found a tanktop and the shorts, which they had leftover from when a friend stayed over. This combined with the aporn Jem was wearing made him look like he was about to star in a cheap porno flick.

"Oh gods, I know I made Ghira and Kali sex fanatics in one of my fanfics, but PLEASE don't make that happen here!" Jem was not having any of that.

Most fans would be like 'Woo hoo! Threesome!" Jem however did not like the idea of that. Not just because he wasn't into guys, but even if he wasn't, just based on Ghira's size alone, he was certain the faunus could tear him in half.

"Noooo way I can survive that." Jem was as vanilla as it could get.

"Ghira! Kali! The eggs are ready! Theres some orange juice on the table if you want some!" Jem felt a bit like a housewife as soon as he said that.

"Ah, thank you Jem, thats nice." Kali said as both her and her husband sat down.

"Where are the others?" Jem asked as he gave them both a plate of eggs with some bacon, the pancakes were still being made.

"Oh, they're sleeping in, don't worry about them." That gave Jem a small smile.

Those kids probably didn't know what it was like to sleep late in the morning without having to worry about finding breakfast for the day. It was good to see coming here had given them some form of comfort.

"Could I get some extra sausage?" Ghira asked innocently.

CRASH

Jem dropped a plate in shock and hide his face so nobody could see the laughter.

"Oh, I'm so sorry!" He said as he was trembling.

At first the couple thought he was scared of their wrath for breaking a plate. And they couldn't understand why the previously confident boy was so scared. But they saw he was trying to keep a straight face and resisting the urge to laugh.

"I'll clean that up and be back with your sausage." Again, Jem felt weird saying that, but if Ghira wanted his sausage, he would give him his sausage.

"Huh, odd." Ghira couldn't understand what was so funny.

"Oh he's probably just tired, it is early in the morning." Kali said as she sipped the coffee that Jem had made.

"There is no way these two are this innocent!" Jem was certain they were doing this on purpose.

How did someone as perverted as Blake end up coming from those two? Jem thought about it for a second. At the very least, he was certain Blake had to be a closet pervert, if Ninjas of love and her weapon which doubled as a bondage piece had anything to do with it. But Kali and Ghira seemed completely immune to it. Was the universe having fun when Blake was born and decided 'I will make these two innocent souls come together and have a pervert for a daughter.'

He didn't know, but he was going to assume that was the truth.

"Jem, make sure to make enough breakfast for when the kids wake up." Ghira said as he nodded.

"Seriously, I feel like a live in maid at this point." He knew he was going to have to pull his own weight until the others found him.

But never did he think he was going to be doing housework. He swore to god if they got out a butlers uniform, he was going to take his chances on the street.

AJ and Melania

Melania was currently alone. AJ was in the tent watching Monster Musume. She rolled her eyes. Of course he would pick a harem anime. She scoffed at it. She may have been a pervert but she had enough class to not go for overdone harem anime. It was a one man deal for her. Half of those harem shows were practically Hentai anyways. But she shook it off. She had met who knows how many guys like AJ, and chances are he would not be the last. As long as there were guys who were so afraid of women that they turned to animated women who could never turn them down, there would be guys like AJ.

Maybe that was why she liked Jem. She could tell he was a fan of anime, but he didn't act like it. He didn't have all the collectibles, and he certainly didn't wear any of the merchandise all the time. He was just a normal guy. A normal guy with a nice body to go with it. She may have been hypocritical in her manner, but she just didn't care for otakus. She was one herself. But Otaku men weren't usually her type.

AJ was living proof of that.

Either way, they were about to go into the dawn of the third day. And she was hoping to see some proof of Jem Activity before long. She may have suggested this partnership in the beginning as AJ had proven himself to be a useful idiot, but he was starting to become too much for even her to handle. (1)

(1) Okay, so some are probably thinking I'm making AJ a parody and that nobody actually acts like that, well despite the fact hes based off a high school friend and a cousin I have, as I started earlier. He also represents a lot of people I've met over the years at conventions.

For example, in college, I didn't really watch Anime a lot because you would see fans show up and take it WAY too seriously. Some people live, breath and SHIT anime. And because of that, it makes them socially awkward. And what I think causes it is that Anime usually has a plotline they can relate to.

A lonely protagonist constantly picked on but eventually rises up and shows everyone how awesome he is. Which everyone loves a good underdog story, but some people who may have been socially awkward before will latch onto this and imagine themselves as the protagonists. But instead of using it as motivation to be better, they just put themselves in this box that says 'I don't need to do what any of these people say, they're stupid and I'm the best.' Even though they're leading themselves down a path of self destruction.

I know because I went through something similar in terms of Ressentiment. Once you believe that you're better than everyone, despite the fact that you're not, nor have you done anything to prove you're better than everyone. You're digging yourself into a hole.

There comes a time when you need to have a come to jesus moment and say.

"Well of course I'm not the best, in fact I actually quite suck at this."

AND THATS WHEN YOUR LIFE STARTS TO GET BETTER
