"Okay! Uh... all the ice cream and put it on Mom's tab please!" Glenn sighed, glad to be back at Anna's side. Who knows what kind of mood swings she would go through?

He would be ready for them. He figured she would be worse than Leo in all ways. Save physical violence at this point.

~~~~~~~

"... Great..." Therese grabbed the water bottle and opened it. "Okay, so basically you're a fruitloop who's calling that man a fruitloop. Do you see the problem with that statement, Ace?" she asked as she sat down on the couch, already making herself home.

"No." Ace said bluntly and truthfully. "Look, can we just relax a bit? At least until the ship is fixed and we can go back home... Stupid alien, being a hussy and getting the ship nearly destroyed." He sighed.

~~~~~

And of course, Anna would destroy the ice cream without mercy, not wanting to show it any mercy because she was merciless. No mercy. No mercy ever.

Glenn just sat there with about ten scoops of ice cream. Eating away, he smiled at how she was eating. Glad she doesn't get fat from it... wow, I'm shallow. he thought before finishing up. "Okay, well we should head back so I can face the wrath of Mom."

~~~~~~~

"Look, sorry if I didn't know that girl had crazy powers, just like that guy! I don't even know what the hell everyone has!" Therese huffed. "I'm just not used to this. It's a huge shock..."

"Well, just calm the hell down then, sheesh! Which reminds me..." Ace said, pulling on Therese's collar and looking into her shirt. The back of her shirt. Do I need to spell this out? Really? I really honestly need to spell this out? Fine. He was looking at her back. Without her permission, he had begun staring at her nudified back.

~~~~~

'... But I wants moar ice cream!' Anna said, weeping. After several minutes of it, however, she stopped and followed him. 'Are you sure you can even get us all the way back?' She asked with a frown. 'I mean... What if you get exhausted again and... And...' Her eyes fluttered for a minute, and she slumped, simply tired by this point.

"I... Uh... Wow, gonna have to get used to this..." Glenn smiled as he picked her up gently. He unsealed his wings and took off, being very gentle with her and his stamina. "Well, I'm sure I can push myself til we get home..."

Glenn was purely exhausted by the time he was home. Stepping inside, he realized it was four PM, and he was in huge trouble.

Just as Glenn placed Anna into the guestroom bed, he was floored by his own mother.

"AHHHHH! WHAT THE HELL, MOM!?"

"You.Were.Late."

Anna blinked. 'We got ice cream. And he didn't want to invite you.' Anna said with a silent snicker, getting revenge for... Something. Yulia knows she had spent enough time over the past months being uberdepressed.

"What the hell, Anna!?"

WHAM!!!!

Just then Glenn was thrown right THROUGH the floor, leaving himself in pain. "Can't... move..."

"Well, that's what you deserve, Mister No Mana Idiot."

"At least... wait? I have mana!"

"Not according to my nose, you don't," Taini pointed out. "When did you become a real pipsqueak? You smell weaker than your own father back when he was 15!"

"Mom, cut it out! I just need rest, okay...?"

"I think you'll need more than that. I recommend to stay away from your brother if you know what's good for you."

"But Anna wanted me to kick his ass!" Glenn squirmed.

"And Anna wants you to be god, but you can't do that." Again, smack.

"OW!"

By then, Glenn was five feet down a hole.

"Urgh... Mom, for fuc-"

Make that ten feet.

~~~~~~~

"What are you doing?" Therese asked, now a little annoyed. "WHAT ARE YOU DOING!? Stop looking there! Gah! Why are you doing this!?"

"I'm tryin' to figure out somethin'!" Ace said, still searching for the tattoo, if it was, in fact, there. And as things were... Well, did she have a tat? Was she a secret angelus? Who could say?






Oh wait, Lenna could.

Right there on the top of her back lied a blue winged tattoo, appearing blazed. "Ugh, Ace, tell me what you're doing, okay?" Therese asked, hating to be touched by him.

"Hell, looks like ya were partially an alien on your home planet too!" Ace said, letting go of her shirt. "Yer an angelus too." He said. "So... I guess ya should try and learn to fly by yerself." He pointed out.

~~~~~

'... Teehee.' Anna said dully, picking Glenn up and dragging him into the house. 'Anyway, I'll get him ready for supper, okie?' She asked Taini with a small smile, finally able to do that again, even if only just a little bit.

Taini grinned, thankful that Anna seemed a little bit back to her old self. Glenn had a few large bumps on his head, but that's all he could think about as he drooled in pain. "....Pie... puppies... puppy pie..."

~~~~~~~~

"WHAT!? You're nothing but a liar! I had this tattoo done! Like... when I was a kid! That's when I last remembered it!" Therese growled, not very great and remembering anything.

"Well then why is it shinin'?" Ace asked, crossing his arms. "Tattoos don't normally glow, do they?" He
asked. "I mean, seriously. Tattoo glowin'. Angelus. Well what is it a tattoo of if ya got it done?" He asked, going all ADD on dat ho.

~~~~~

Anna heft Glenn into the seat as he mumbled. 'You need to be more normal.' She shrugged, blinking. 'Come on, food! I want food now! Hungry!' She mumbled.

Taini sighed. "You kids... you still act like you're damn 14... Yulia... My brother and I grew up at the age of 10, you know..."

Glenn still drooled slightly, until he snapped out of it. "Right... hungry..."

Right before them both were two bowls of thick and chunky rice and sausage soup. Glenn drooled again, but only at the sights and smells. "Yay! Food!" He said, just as his stomach roared (at this point).

~~~~~~~

"... I... don't know. I don't know why it glows... I don't know at all, okay?" Therese replied with a deep sigh, suddenly depressed. "Stop bugging me about it. I don't want to talk about it. I don't want to find out I'm an alien of my own fucking home."

"Half alien. Or something like that." Ace said, crossing his arms. "But it means you aren't a total alien here either. You're kinda sorta... Normal? Hell if I know." He said, drinking. "Well, hope they fix the ship soon." He sighed.

~~~~~

Anna blinked. 'I'm preggy, I'll act however I want!' She said with a huff. 'You should be nicer to me, cuz you know how I feel!' She said, frowning and taking a small bowl of soup and starting to eat it.

"Well, you still have to respect everyone, Anna," Taini sighed. "You can't call being pregnant an excuse to act more childish than usual. Isn't there a middle ground for you? I never was over-reactive and childish when I was pregnant with Glenn, Ela, and Leo."

Glenn desperately tried to stay out of it, just taking a large bowl of soup to eat.

~~~~~~~

"I hope so too. Not like I know what to do after it is fixed. I'm more lost than anything. I should have really stayed at my job... Probably not considering what we did to the world. You two would have done it anyway, with or without me," Therese replied.

'............................................. :<' Anna said with a giant frown. 'But... But... He... I... YOU BEAT UP MY BOY TOY!' She whined, trying to change the subject.

"Sorry, you can't change the subject like that." Derrick said, arriving with some fresh baked bread.

~~~~~

"... What?" Ace asked, blinking. "So you'd rather be a sober bar wench?" He asked, crossing his arms. "Seriously?" He asked. "I mean... That's kinda lame." He pointed out. "And you are alive still."

"BOY TOY!? Is that all I am to you...?" Glenn sobbed as Taini sighed. "Why did I want our son back again?" she asked while winking at her husband, indicating that Glenn, IN FACT, was finally home. She hoped it would shock him, just like Glenn shocked everyone else.

'Well excuse me for not being able to articulate properly...' Anna said, frowning. 'I don't really have any other words since I can't talk.' She pointed out, frowning even more frownily. Frown.

"You wanted him back because he's your son. He was inside you, after all." Derrick pointed out, laughing as he put down the bread.

"Wait, what? You don't miss me, Dad?" Glenn asked as he turned his head to Anna. "Sorry... it's just... kinda a negative thing to say." He rubbed the back of his head with an apologetic face.

Taini then sat down as she pushed a bowl towards her husband's seat. "Eat up. I'm sure you miss a good decent family time where it's easy to get everyone to eat."

"I wasn't questioning anything." Derrick pointed out, smiling and thanking his wife for the foodsies. He then started to eat quietly.

'... Can someone get me some pineapple juice with ketchup?'

"You're welcome dearest... but... Huh?" Taini blinked as she stared at Anna for a moment. "Like... mixed with?"

"I'll... I'll get it right now." Glenn stood up without hesitation and walked over to the fridge, finding the ketchup. But... pineapple juice...

Uh oh.

'........... Well... Where is it?' Anna asked, pouting a bit. 'I want my pineapple juice with ketchup... in fact, forget the ketchup, I want it with milk!' She said. 'So put down that ketchup!'

"That's disgusting." Derrick said with a laugh.

"... There is no pineapple juice. Do you have to have it right now? Or can it wait until after dinner?" Glenn asked as he ate as quick as he could, just in case.

Taini pointed down at the chair. "You're finishing first, Mister. You have to break her in anyway. I didn't make Derrick wait on me hand and foot every second," she laughed. "Though, I'd recommend you to do it very soon, Glenny."

'No... Pineapple juice...?' Anna asked, showing fangs, though her eyes weren't visible at this point.

"You know, the fact is that he was gone half the pregnancy. He has a lot to make up for." Derrick said, smiling.

"Oh yes, yes," Taini chuckled. "Oh, the old days. Glenn's gonna regret this for a little bit, but I think he can do well."

Glenn quickly jumped from the chair and teleported without even entering Seraphim due to how frightened he was. After about two minutes, he appeared before Anna, then ran over to the kitchen, doing EXACTLY what she asked for. Breathing heavier than usual, he walked over to her and placed the glass gently onto the table.

Anna sniffed at the concoction, then started to guzzle it. 'Mmmmmmm... Tastes like' Okay, now I want cottage cheese. You like men who constantly want cottage cheese, don't you, Lenna?

"Stop interrupting the narrative." Derrick said, eyes closed.

Bleh.

Taini widened her eyes, wanting to gag. "What was the worst I've ever had again, Dearest?" she asked, wanting to throw up at this point. Glenn seemed to be okay, at first, but then he felt lightheaded. "Mmph..." He sighed, finishing up the soup. "I... think I need to lie down."

Taini frowned. "What happened, Glenn? Your life energy is... your mana is three quarters less than normal. And it seems to be stable. You're worrying me."

"Just... trouble with a dragon."

Anna blinked, then passed out suddenly, having eaten plenty of food by now and having drank her concoction quite happily. She seemed to smile as she filled the room with silent snores.

"Well, son..." Derrick said. "You may as well fill us in on just what happened while you were away."

Glenn took in a deep breath as he took Anna into his arms. "When I tried to get home... we had to defeat the Templar Beasts..."

"Templar Beasts? The beasts that existed ten thousand years ago?" Taini asked with widened eyes.

"I... did not know that. Either way, we defeated each one, and we were caught by the shadow dragon... it... instilled our deepest fears... and I fell for it rather easily. I just... I lost it, and during then I felt my life energy leaving my own body. It hasn't come back."

"It may never..." Taini thought with a frown. "That leaves you in a horrible situation."

"I can't let that happen! I need to protect Anna! I can't do that if I'm... like this. I feel like nothing. I can barely teleport... I don't know what to do."

"Well... You should train." Derrick said. "At the very least, reach your current peak." He explained. "Your uncle may be able to help with that too, since he was once in a very similar situation... Although I hope you won't act as retardedly as he did back then." He explained.

"Uh...?"

"He continued even when he was bloody pulp. Didn't do him shit in the end. Should've taken breaks," Taini explained.

"I can always seek him out." Glenn replied. "Tomorrow. I just... want to be able to be with Anna for awhile, even if she is dead unconscious."

"Well, go for it son. Seems like you're finished anyway. Your father and I can clean up the mess," Taini explained as Glenn picked up Anna and brought her to their room, where he tucked her gently in. He then threw off his shirt and pants, folding them neatly. Having locked the door, he climbed in and, with great curiosity, placed a hand onto Anna's stomach, feeling nothing but a hardened bulge. "Wow..." he breathed.

Anna shifted slightly as she was touched, groaning and instinctively grabbing his hand. 'Mnnnnn.....' She whimpered, squirming in the bed.

"Hm?" Glenn blinked as he felt his hand grasped. He squeezed her hand as he took his other hand and rubbed her stomach a little. He then placed his head against it while rubbing it gently, wondering what it could sound like. He was quite the curious man.

'Mnnnnnnnnnn...' Anna groaned opening her eyes softly. 'W-what?' She asked, looking at him confused. 'W-what are you doing?' She asked, feeling just a little confused, also somewhat violated. 'I feel confused... Also, somewhat violated.' She admitted. 'C-can you maybe... not do stuff like that when I'm asleep?'

"S-sorry!" Glenn let go before frowning. He then turned away from her and sighed, closing his eyes. "Sorry..." He told her again before he tried to calm down, feeling awful for what he had done. "Just... curiosity, that's all." He then pulled up part of the sheets to cover his neck.

Anna shivered as he took the covers and immediately plowed her face into his chest. 'No fair, it's cold out here!' She said with a frown. 'Why do you have to take all the covers?' She asked, having one of those fabled mood swings of pregnancy, which would no doubt make Glenn have seizures before too long.

"I didn't! Just some..." Glenn replied before realizing he was going to be forced to give up most of his covers for her. Oh well, he could generate some mana to try and keep himself warm. He was too tired to care if he was cold or not, anyway. "Here... in fact, take all of them if you want."

Anna suddenly pounced the youngish man for warmth. She held closely, shaking just a little from the cold and waiting for him to pull up the covers so that they wouldn't freeze any more. Of course, knowing Anna and her pregnancy, this would no doubt end very badly for Glenn, and Anna would probably end up crying and running off with another Glenn-seizure inducing mood swing of doom.

Glenn wasn't sure what was going on. He now knew why his father was afraid of his mother when she was pregnant with him. He recalled Derrick telling him at times that it was torture, but at the same time worth it. Where's the worth it part?

The official pipsqueak wrapped an arm around Anna as he pulled the covers over the both of them, deciding to keep awake until she fell asleep. Would training even work...? he thought as he shook his head. He could show up... he could hurt Anna... if he finds out that she's... and I'm... vulnerable. He could do anything!

~~~~~~~~

"... Well, maybe I want to be a lame bitch," Therese huffed as she also crossed her arms in a defiant manner.

"Well you're here now." Ace pointed out, shrugging. "You didn't have to come with us. But then again, you wanted to be a hussy and keep pursuing that kid, even though he wasn't even available."

"..." Therese lowered her head. "Never met a guy like him, okay? Just wished he was available. That he and his girlfriend had it so bad... that..." She shook her head.

"You know, you're so far into your own pity party that you made up problems for him. So just how many cats did you own anyway?" Ace asked.

Just then Therese stood up, frustrated with Ace's words. He was too much of a pain for her to deal with. She just wanted to be away from him. Hopefully forever. So she basically stormed out, acting like a child rather than dealing with a pure asshole.

And she would be surrounded by the talking otters, who were just walking around and minding their own ottery business.

"So how many was it?" Ace shouted.

"... Were." Therese panicked quietly before walking through them, trying not to freak out. "Talking otters, talking otters, talking otters... damn talking otters!"

"You know, has anyone told you you're really high strung?" Ace asked as he walked behind her. "And if you keep walking that way, you're going to end up on the freak out end of a freak out stick." He pointed out to her.

"...SHUT UP! DAMN, YOU'RE ANNOYING! WHY CAN'T YOU LEAVE ME ALONE!?" Therese whirled around and shot a glare at him, wanting him dead.

"Just tell me how many cats ya had." Ace said. "And besides, I didn't do anythin', Ye'r the one who got the ship blown up. Yer the one who caused yer misfortune, so quit blamin' me." He pointed out.

"One, okay? ONE! Well, stop following me, okay!? I want you to leave me alone, but you can't seem to fucking do that, you clingy asshole!" Therese gripped her fists as she stormed off.

And he followed, smugly smugging smugly. "There, doesn't it feel better just to let it out?" He asked as she was ending up in a corner surrounded by the oresoren with no other way to go, since they were all over the place and she was in a corner.

Therese stopped, then pushed forward through oresoren, not caring anymore. She got over her fear quickly just by being PISSED with Ace. It was too much for her. He was driving her to insanity.

And where did she end up? The only direction she had was back to Ace, who would probably keep babbling. "So back then in the miasma... You enjoyed it, didn't you?" He asked like a jerk.

"..." Therese just stopped right there, on the verge of tears. She didn't want to deal with him anymore. She was frustrated and hurt, and didn't even know where to go. She just wanted to go away.

"Just answer honestly." Ace said. "Ya were flustered... And ya enjoyed it... Even if ya don't want to admit it."

"... I am answering honestly. Why can you leave me the hell alone?" Therese begged, now in tears, not even sure how to even get rid of him.

"Because ya like my company, and yer in denial." Ace said calmly. "And ya don't want to believe it cuz ya don't want to believe ya could like anyone ya think is as insane as ya think I am."

"I don't like your company, okay?" Therese grimaced. "Do you really want to keep hurting my feelings? Do you enjoy the sick thrill of making me cry???"

"Ya. Are a liar." Ace said. "Ya never had to come along, but ya did." He pointed out, smirking. "it was yer choice in the end, but ya didn't fight it." He laughed. "So are ya done bellyachin', or are ya gonna keep fightin' what ya know?"

"Look, I didn't want to die. Is that so much of a problem? Do you WANT me to fall in love with you and make out with you? BLEH! Fuck off..." Therese grumpily told him as she wiped her eyes, sniffling. "You're a dick. Nothing but a fucking dick."

"Ya wouldn't have died at any point." Ace pointed out. "But ya came here with me and ya followed me to the Oresoren Village. It was yer own fault that the ship went down, so ya kind of owe me anyways." He said, crossing his arms as the Oresoren density started to increase, the warring pair being surrounded by adorable fuzziness.

"Fine... whatever... just... do what you want. I don't give a damn," Therese replied as she felt extremely trapped. She didn't want to see the Oresoren, though she was growing used to them. Was she supposed to be stuck with him? Did he really want to trap her? Why? Why couldn't he just come out with the fact that he liked her?

Because A: He's a stubbon sonuvabitch. 2: He wasn't.

"I'm just asking questions." Ace pointed out, turning around. "And I bet if I left right now, you'd probably come right back to the cabin we're at because you have nowhere else to go." He said, walking off tot he cabin.

~~~~~

Anna continued to snuggle into the man, placing her forehead on the base of his neck like an affectionate kitten with nothing else to do and no bitchy tendencies.

For now.

Glenn closed his eyes as he hugged her a little, trying not to be too hard on her. He then sighed happily and yawned. Good night, Anna. I love you... He thought as he slowly fell asleep with her, nuzzling her cheek.

~~~~~~~

Therese stared off in the distance for a good for minutes. Maybe he was right. Maybe she was pathetic. Maybe he wanted her to kill herself. She didn't know. She began to walk off into a corner of anything and just cry her eyes out. Why did she make such a shitty choice?

As she cried, someone or something handed her a tissue, then waddled off as Ace arrived at the home, pulling out several tubes of applesauce and setting one on the counter, then he took one himself and sat on the couch, waiting for the inevitable.

~~~~~

It was early in the morning that Anna woke up. Of course, the first thing she did, was she started poking Glenn. 'Wake up... Wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up.' She said, her tummy growling. 'I need you to get me jellied banana pizza.'

Urph... Glenn groaned awake as he blinked. He then "heard" Anna, then fell out of bed, not at all ready to wake. He then dragged himself onto his feet and slumped with a robe on out of the room and to the kitchen, where he grabbed materials. With alchemy and fire mana, he quickly made one with his eyes closed and dragged himself back in, still exhausted from the day before. With the pizza on a plate, he handed it carefully to her before slumping back into bed with his robe still on.

~~~~~~~

Therese didn't show up at the doorstep for a long while. She just sat there depressed and hating Ace for being right. She had nowhere to go, and she had this sudden urge to kill him. She felt like it, after all. Eventually she did, after nine hours, and sat at the steps.

Ace looked out the window eventually, seeing her. "Hey!" He said. "You just gonna sit out there or what?" He asked. "Because... I dunno." He shrugged, then rolled over to take a nap.

~~~~~

Anna started nibbling at it. 'Cheater.' She said, eating happily nonetheless. If Glenn were paying much attention, he might've noticed that one of the posts of the bed had bite marks on it, as if someone had been trying to eat it, and had taken more than one attempt at the poor bed's life. More unfortunately, however, it looked as if they were human teeth too.

Therese nodded silently, then placed her elbows onto her knees. She attempted to sing happy songs, hoping that this was just a nightmare with him involved, and that she would end up waking in her bed and go back to work. Maybe gain enough confidence to flirt with a couple of guys.

~~~~~~~~

"I know I am, but I need to keep you happy. May as well do it the quickest way," Glenn replied as his hands were shaky. He placed them to his stomach as he rolled over in the bed, feeling like going back to sleep. Normally after he was forced to wake up, he would always act perky and happy. Now he was just... dead.

'Huh?' Anna asked with a blink. 'What's going on with you?' She asked, poking him over and over again. 'Is something wrong? There's something wrong with you... What's wrong with you?' She asked, before groaning. 'Guuuuu... Hungry again...' She mumbled, staring at the bed expectantly all of the sudden.

~~~~~

Ace didn't respond, simply rolling over some more and trying to sleep himself. He would have kept attempting were it not for a sudden earthquake which shook him right off the couch and onto the ground. "Ungh... Where's the fire now?" He asked with a groan.
