nThat was right, and there was also Missy, Lidy, and the grandmothers. The grandmothers could wait, but Lidy was a different story.

nShe held a special place in my heart, kind of the way that Nushi did, but not to say I didn't care about the other girls.

nFor some, it was just different, and I felt a bit more attached to them, and I felt like Beeno would be another. While Lidy might be partially in the system, she wasn't fully part of it, and if anyone deserved it, Lidy did.

n

"Let's go see the party that you all have set up! I want to hear all about what happened today! Seems like a lot has happened over the short time that I was gone,

" I said, but for some reason, all the women looked away from me, except for Keri.

n

"Oh! Let me tell you… Mmhmhmhm!

" Keri started to say, but Jilly went over behind her almost faster than my eyes could track.

n

"Nothing that interesting. Why don't you tell us about your day, or days according to Mex? I would also like to know what could make you sweat like that. Beeno was slick with it, and you were covered when we got to you, and I have never seen you scared of anything. The only time you have ever run was from me, but I was stronger than you,

" Jilly explained as she came over and took my arm and latched it with hers at the elbow.

nI really didn't want to think about it, and I was slightly embarrassed. I had nearly died of fright when that… that… What?

nThe things you see there are similar to dreams and nightmares, so they are tough to remember. It was more like you saw something that wasn't really there because they're creatures from the Negative Dimension, existing in another existence and reality. This is the same as the Dark and Light Elementals; their home is in a different reality than the one that we are in right now.

n'How many different realities are there?'

nIt's an uncountable number, it's constantly changing with the domination, destruction, or birth of new worlds and realities. You have been going for a while now, and I think you should just focus on having fun tonight and enjoy some much-needed rest and relaxation. You have surpassed every bar I have ever set for you, and it is really becoming great to work with you.

nI felt my chest swell a bit, but I kept my comments to myself and just thanked Hero. I should be the one thanking him, but I was worried I might choke up even saying them inside of my head.

nDon't worry, I understand. This has been a fast and challenging set of past days, but you have done so much more than I had ever expected of you. You are a hothead and think that you can just think your way through every problem. Though, now you are learning that sometimes it's better to rely on others, rather than doing everything on your own.

nIt was true, and I had been trying to figure everything out on my own, but I was also getting the help I needed from those that could assist me. I just needed to keep pushing forward, and things would work out as long as I asked for help along the way when I needed it.

nI looked over to Jilly, who was walking beside me, and smiled as I looked over at her and her beautifully fit body. I felt a smile creep onto my face, and It was hard to stop it, not like I wanted to.

nJilly noticed me looking at her and then slowed to a stop, and I stopped with her.

n

"What are you grinning like an idiot about?

" Jilly asked me as she crossed her arms over her ample chest, but I reached out and took both of her hands into mine, and my smile grew bigger.

n

"Honestly, I am enthralled by you. I am so used to you looking down on or being so much bigger! Now, things are different, and you are a bit shorter than me, and I can do this,

" I said, and let go of her hands, and I slipped my arms around her and pulled Jilly into a kiss that seemed to surprise her.

nJilly was frozen with her arms out to the side, but then she slowly let them both fall to my shoulders as we shared our first real kiss. This was something that I had been waiting to do for ages now, and it was worth every second of the wait.

nI let my hands slide down her back until the hard carapace ended, and I slipped my hands around her ass. Another new experience because before, Jilly didn't have an ass before as strange as it was.

nNow, as I slipped my tongue into Jilly's mouth and squeezed them playfully, Jilly pushed forward. She pushed her hips into me, feeling my excitement, and then Jilly broke the kiss by pushing my lips past mine, sliding across my cheek to my ear.

n

"I was wondering what that was for, and maybe later you might want to try the extra hole out? Maybe we should stop for now, though, or I think I will be murdered by the rest of the women the second you turn your back,

" Jilly whispered in my ear, not helping my situation at all.

nI let go of Jilly's ass and turned from her, back towards the first, and the moment I did, every woman looked away from the two of us. I turned back to Jilly and Gave her another quick kiss on the lips and then the cheek.

n

"I will spend some time with everyone, but I think that I might want to take you up on that offer later,

" I said with a grin and turned, trying to pull Jilly along with me, but she stopped me one more time.

nConfused, I stopped and looked back at Jilly.

n

"Can I ask for a favor? And you don't have to say yes, but I think It might help us,

" Jilly asked and explained.

n

"Sure, ask away! I can't make any promises, but I will listen to the question,

" I said with a grin, and Jilly took a deep breath and spoke.

n

"Do you think that you can ask Lizy to join us?

" Jilly asked, and my brain overheated, started to boil, and proceeded to leak out of my ears.
