Hey! First of the month and a new, albeit, short chapter! Enjoy!

Jaden was led away by Fonda, looking at the mature beauty. Once they reached a small pond, she knelt down, dragging him with her. Once both their knees hit, they burst out into laughter again.

"I should have warned her to be careful around the local sea life." Jaden chuckled out.

"Indeed! That was funny as all hell." Fonda giggled out.

Jaden leaned back, staring up at the slowly changing sky. The winds were billowing in the breeze. Fonda looked at him.

"So what did you talk about with Mindy and Jasmine?" She asked, leaning over.

"Our futures. Jasmine wants to be a fashion maker in addition to being a vet, Mindy a game designer. Both plan on trying the circuit out though." Jaden said, not seeing Fonda leaning over.

"Oh? What about you?"

Jaden shook his head. He had said it three times now. He wanted a family. Here, Fonda looked at him.

"Well, you have five beautiful women..."

"Let me stop you right there, Fonda. Yes, I do have five beautiful women, but I do not want to compromise or even be the reason that they gave up their hopes and dreams. It would not be a one night stand, as I do intend to stay with all five of you...but I would just be like Harrington or even Jerome if I let my urges get the better of me." Jaden said coldly.

He was not going to pressure the five of them. Firmly of the belief that what should be intimate time for them and him. Not just be a roll in the sheets for laughs. Fonda smiled softly.

"Well, that is good to hear at least. You are taking our thoughts and feelings into this."

"I would be a very poor man and a piss poor excuse of a boyfriend if I didn't take your thoughts into this." Jaden said honestly.

"Oh ho, boyfriend is it?" Fonda teased.

Jaden gave her a look before she chuckled. He was to her, Yubel, Mindy, and Jasmine. Alexis was the official one though. The two lapsed into silence, looking out at the sky.

"What are they?" Jaden asked out of the blue.

"Hm?" Fonda asked, looking at him.

"Your hopes and dreams for your future."

Fonda ah'd in understanding then. She settled back, looking at the skies once more. She already had her dream job, being a medical professional. Her second hope was to find a good man, get married, and have kids.

"Well, I found a good man, but like me, he wants to wait. And I will gladly do so for him."

"Sounds like quite a guy." Jaden said.

He was. He did save her after all. The two shared a laugh at that. Fonda was glad to be able to laugh about that horrid occurrence in her life.

But Jaden then frowned. The marriage thing. She waved it off. Officially, she couldn't if Jaden and Alexis tied the knot, but nothing was said about unofficial. "Besides...you are a great man, Jaden." Fonda said, kissing his cheek.

"There you two are!" came a pair of voices.

They looked to see Jasmine and Mindy standing there, Jasmine's top back on. They had managed to get the top from the crab before it had scuttled into the sea. Jaden got up and offered his hand to Fonda who took it. She whispered something to him, making him nod.

By now, the sun had started to set. Gathering up their gear, they headed back to the manor.

"Wonder why Alexis didn't join us." Jaden mused aloud.

All he got was some giggles coming from Jasmine and Mindy. A smirk from Fonda. The group opened the door and Jaden stopped there.

There, standing before them was Alexis with a heavy blush on her face. But she was not wearing the outfit she had when she came in. She was wearing a black dress with white trim that bulged out due to her chest, with a thigh high skirt. On the front of the dress was a white half-apron, lace. A ruffled, lace headpiece finished the top of the ensemble. On her arms, she wore shoulder length white gloves. Below the skirt were thigh high lace stockings and black high heels.

Upon seeing Jaden, she bowed low, revealing her plunging cleavage to the teen male.

"W-welcome home, Master Yuki." She stammered out.

The women and spirits around him giggled again while Jaden stared. How did his life get like this?

Wow...Alexis is REALLY going all out here! Hope you enjoyed!
