(Y/N)'s POV

"They outnumber us by two people, so we've asked the others to be referees," Rias said as we prepared to start the game.

"Kid, you're okay?" Bill asked as he sat on the bench with the other girls from my Peerage. "You look shaky."

"It's too obvious?" I looked at him, with my legs were shivering like I was in cold icy tundra. "I was practically shitting myself."

"A powerful demon yet pathetic at sport? What flaw." He laughed at me.

"Shut up, flying space Dorito!" I scolded him.

"I'm, like, the worst at sports," Issei said. "I don't even know if I remember how to play."

"And I'm even worse," I said. "I got put in goal during a game of football once and the only reason I saved anything is because the ball kept hitting me like Scott Sterling!"

"Oh, you'll be fine," Rias told us. "Just aim the ball at the Sitris and hit 'em right in the face!"

"Asia picked it up in no time," Kiba said. "I'm sure you can do it, too."

I looked over at Asia and the evidence was not exactly reassuring. She was on the floor, doing the splits ... but not exactly by choice. Akeno was pushing her body into different stretching positions in preparation for the game, and it looked quite painful. I had asked about it once, but had been assured that it was needed.

"Aaah, my legs feel like they're on fire!" Asia yelled as she was being forced to stretch.

"Come on, just a little further, you can do it," Akeno said, smiling as she helped Asia stretch.

"You're really enjoying that, aren't you?" I asked her. As hard as I tried, I could not to stare at her hanging breasts as she leaned down, I was failing massively. I think she knew it, too, because she made sure to turn a little when she spoke, enough to give me an even better view.

"Well, I won't say I'm not ..." she said. "Maybe I can help you like this some time?"

"I don't know..." I unable to keep my eyes from wandering...I felt a sharp pain in my foot and took to hopping, seeing Koneko stood beside me. "Ouch! Jeez, Koneko, what was that for?"

"... Tone down the perversion," she told me with a glare. "... Don't turn into your brother." She looked over at Issei, who was looking at Asia and Akeno and drooling with a perverted smile on his face. I glared at him, as did Koneko. "... Speaking of which, I'm going to go deal with him."

I got an immense amount of joy from watching Koneko help Issei stretch out ... and the cracking of bones could be heard all throughout the room.

Afterwards, Issei handed us all something, at which point I knew why he had needed the needle and thread the night before.

"Team headbands?" Rias said, though she was smiling.

"We're gonna looked totally badass in these things," I said as I wrapped mine around my head.

"It's reminds me of that game character that I hate..." Bill glared at the headbands.

"Thanks, bro, I was working on these things all night," Issei said.

"You didn't sleep?" Rias asked in concern.

"I just wanted to make something cool to thank you guys for everything you've done for me and my brother," Issei told her. It was true, too; we probably wouldn't even be here if it weren't for these guys. "We're lucky to have friends as awesome as you."

"Yeah, you guys are great," I agreed with him. "To be honest, I don't really have many friends outside of this group. You guys are amazing, as far as I'm concerned."

"Plus I suck at sports, so this way I'll remember not to throw the ball at my own team," Issei added on, kind of killing the moment. No one said a thing for a while, before Issei said, "Are they lame? Should I have made t-shirts instead?"

"No, I think they're great," Rias said. "It was nice of you to do that."

"... You're a pervert, but you're sweet," Koneko begrudgingly admitted.

"Aw, see, I knew you two could get along!" I said cheerfully, earning me a light elbow in the ribs from Koneko. It still hurt, mind you, but not as much as it could have.

"Ready to rock and roll?" asked the voice of Sona. We turned and saw the entire student council stood in their gym gear. I had to shake my head to avoid staring. Saji I could easily ignore, though.

And then the game began.

The game started off with a bang when that blue-haired girl—I think her name is Tsubasa—threw the ball and it hit Koneko right in the left boob, tearing through her shirt in the process. The point was announced by that white-haired girl—Momo, I think her name is. Koneko went off.

Charging the ball with demonic power, Tsubaki threw the ball at Rias, who caught it as the wind created from the throw caused her hair to blow all over the place. Rias and Sona were trading words as Rias held onto the ball, but I was more focused on the game than what was being said, then Rias threw the ball through a magic circle, sending it into brown-haired girl-Tomoe and burning her clothes off. Issei gave a perverted face while I blushed and looked away from her.

One of them tried to throw the ball at Issei, but Akeno jumped and caught it, me catching a great view of her panties in the process. Demoniacally charged balls were thrown throughout the room over and over; windows were broken, the floor was pretty much fucked by this point, and Issei, Asia and myself were terrified out of our minds by the friendly game that had transformed into a battle to the death.

Then Sona threw a magically charged ball that chased Issei around the hall. As much as he tried to outrun it, it followed him relentlessly. There was a point where he thought he had gotten away from it, but I saw it clearly, heading towards hit ... private regions. Being the great brother I was, I dashed forwards and made the ultimate sacrifice. I stood between him and the ball and took a demonic power-filled dodge ball to the crotch, pain exploding throughout my body as I collapsed to the floor, screaming in a pitch so high it could barely be heard by anyone.

"There goes future generation of Cipher." Bill cringed at the performance of our game.

"MASTER!" Raynare shots up from the bench, concerned about my well-being. Mittelt was laughing at me though.

I lay on the floor in a daze, looked at Issei and said dramatically, "Go forth, my brother. Show these pigs that they will never break our spirit, no matter how many balls must be sacrificed." I let my head collapse to the floor, until I heard the voice of an Angel ... or, at least, a very kind-hearted Devil, speak next to me.

"I can use my Twilight Healing to make you better ... if you'd like," Asia said. I opened my eyes wide when I thought about what specific part of my body she'd be healing, and the reluctance sprang up very quickly. "First you have to show me where it hurts, (Y/N)."

Then the reluctance was like a tidal wave. "Oh, no!" I said quickly, sitting up and trying to smile. "I couldn't possibly ... I mean, that would be ... I'm fine!"

"But you're in pain," Asia argued, completely oblivious to why I was acting the way I was. "I think it'd be best if I took a quick look." She began to reach for the effected area, but I shot to my feet to keep it out of reach.

"Look, Asia, as much as some pain relief would help me right now, I really don't think it'd be a good idea for you to touch me down there."

"If it'd make you more comfortable, I could just do it over the pants." She smiled at me comfortingly, and I couldn't say no to her any more. A few moments later she had her hands around my crotch region, her hands glowing bright green as the pain I felt faded to a dull throb. "How does that feel now?"

"Pretty good," I told her. "That is really tingly, though."

"Dude, you are totally getting a stiffy right now," Issei said with a grin.

"Well, I can't fucking help it, can I?" I asked him with a glare. "I'm a teenage boy, damn it, that thing has a mind of its own."

"Never mind that," Rias said. "Asia, you take care of (Y/N). We've got a game to finish! Come on, guys, let's win this one for (Y/N)!"

"Yeah, for his man bits!" Akeno cheered. My face reddened.

"For his one-eye snake!" Kiba joined. My face was practically a tomato at this point.

"... For his sack," Koneko threw in. Apparently she was allowed to join again for the second half.

"For my host future generation!" Bill shouted on the bench.

"For master's balls!" Raynare joined in.

"For my twin brother's sex gear!" Issei yelled. I facepalmed, totally red by now. I doesn't help me at all with all those laughter coming out from Miltelt who tearing up from all those cheers. Kalawarner just smiled at me with sympathy.

"Thanks you for the support, everyone." I said in sarcastic manner. "Do make me embarrass with all those word like it was normal."

My personal favorite part of the next half of the game was the first throw, in which Koneko took out Saji in exactly the same way I was taken out: a ball to the nuts. And she was a Rook, too, so it must have hurt like a bitch.

Well, I say second half, the game only lasted a few seconds after Saji was taken out. In the end, we won the game and walked out of the gym feeling awfully smug.

"As much as I hate to lose, I have to admit this was a whole lot of fun," Sona said as the rest of her Peerage departed from us. "But if this was a Rating Game instead of us just fooling around, there's no way you could have beat me."

"You really think so?" Rias asked. "Well I guess we'll never know until we actually play the game. But it'll be a while until we have to worry about that."

"Don't be so sure, Rias," Sona said. "You never know what's coming up."

"Bye, Sona," I said as she walked away.

"Goodbye to you too, (Y/N)," she said, glancing at me behind her. "And sorry about, well ... where the ball hit you."

"Don't worry about it," I said with a blush on my face. "As far as I can tell, everything's still functioning."

She nodded at me and left. Then we headed back to the clubroom.

We clinked our tea cups together and simultaneously yelled, "Victorious!" before taking a sip from each of our cups.

"I'd like to tell each and everyone of you that I appreciate you going out there and doing what needed to be done to beat those Devils," Rias said to us all as we sat around the table and drank. "I hope you guys feel very proud."

"I feel proud that my manhood are still intact," I said, earning a little laughter from Issei making me blush in embarrassment. "But I think Issei deserves more appreciation for these awesome headbands."

And appreciation was given for the headbands, leaving Issei to rub the back of his neck sheepishly and act all modest.

"I hate to break up the celebrations," Rias said, "but I think it's time we got these three some Familiars."

As if prompted, Akeno went over to activate the magic circle.

"Wait, you mean we're going to get them right now?" Asia asked.

"It's a full moon tonight, this is our best chance to see him," Rias explained.

"See who?" Issei and I asked at once.

"The Familiar Master," Rias answered.

"You girls want to come?" I asked my Peerage who shook their head in denial.

"We stay put until you got back home." Raynare told me.

I only respond with a thumbs upand we soon left in the magic circle.

It took us to a forest. A very dark forest, at that. This place looked like it belonged on the outskirts of Hogwarts. I got a little nervous as I looked around. I wondered what kinds of creatures lived in this forest, and what kind of Familiar I would have by the end of this trip.

"Where the hell are we?" Issei asked.

"Duh, a magical forest where all the Familiars live," Akeno said as if it were an obvious answer

"Don't be scared," Kiba said. "This is where we came to get ours, too."

"Oh, I'm cool," Issei said, then added, "Even though I think I just pissed myself."

"Yeah, it's really freaky," Asia agreed with him, hiding behind me.

I put my arm around her shoulder. "Oh, don't be scared," I said. "I'm here with you. Plus, the stuff in this forest can't be that bad, otherwise them becoming our Familiars would be a ridiculously hard process."

"Okay, who wants me?" called a voice from overhead. Above us stood a man in shorts and a vest, a grey shirt tied around his waist, fingerless gloves, a waistcoat and a cap that he wore backwards, tufts of brown hair sticking through. "I'm the Familiar Master, Zatouji! If your goal is to find Familiars galore, you've come at the right time that's for sure! The full moon is out to help you decide, and I'll be with you to act as your guide!"

"If you can't tell, Zatouji is obsessed with making things rhyme," Akeno whispered to us.

"Thank you, Akeno, I was able to sniff that out," I said. "Honestly, I was busy trying to figure out exactly what this guy reminded me of. It was on the tip of my tongue, but I just...couldn't...think of it..."

"Really?" Bill looked at me with a deadpan.

"I'm just kidding. This is what happen if Ash hit puberty." I joked which makes Bill and Issei chuckled at it.

"Now how can I help you?" Zatouji continued. "Tell me all your wants and desires! A strong one, a fast one, one that likes to set fires?"

"Yeah, cool," Issei said. "Do you have any hot Familiars with big tiggoes that really like nerdy white guys?"

"Use your head, not your dick!" I scolded my twin.

"Is this boy serious?" Bill deadpanned at Issei.

To his credit, Zatouji looked just as annoyed as I felt. "This is why amateurs always annoy, if you're seeking something more than a toy use your other head, my boy. To find the Familiar who will be the best fit, look for best personality, don't look for best tit!"

"I like this guy," I said. "The creativity of his rhymes was really easy to enjoy."

"I can play piano..." The triangle space demon bragged.

That makes sense," Asia said, talking about what Zatouji had said. "But I'd like a Familiar who's cute and super fun to be around."

"Fun?" Zatouji asked. His face grew into a large grin. "Done and done!"

"Oh, thank you so much!"

"Hey, that's not fair, dude!" Issei exclaimed in protest.

"Oh, don't get your panties in a twist," I said to him, lightly hitting him in the back of the head. "Let's just walk through the forest and see what we can find. We're sure to come across something cool eventually."

And so we traipsed through the forest, following after Zatouji, until we reached a lake that was a deep blue in colour, unlike the overly polluted things were were used to these days. There was a rather ominous circle of moonlight shining down onto the lake through a large gap in the trees.

"This lake is awesome, righteous and right," Zatouji said. "At the bottom you'll find magical Sprites."

Issei was ecstatic. "Yeah!" he exclaimed. "Sprites are sexy! We just hit the Familiar jackpot! She'll emerge from the water wearing nothing but a soaking wet, see-through dress, with hair long enough to tie me up. Then she'll pull me below and we'll make sweet, sweet soggy love!"

"Issei," I said, turning his attention towards me. "Two things. One: you said that out loud. Two: I don't know why Mittelt says I have issues, because it's pretty clear to me that you're the one here with issues. Can't wait to tell her about this."

"Whoa," Kiba said. "Look at the lake."

"Here we go," Zatouji said, "looks like a Sprite is about to show."

True to his word, a blinding light began to shine out of the lake just where the moonlight hit it. Out of the water, something began to emerge. At first glance it appeared to be a woman in a soaking wet dress, just as Issei had predicted. On closer look, however, well ... let's just say I laughed so hard at Issei's face that I probably permanently damaged my voice box. This thing looked like the Green Goblin had interbred with the Dark Elves from Thor: The Dark World.

"That thing is hideous!" Bill joined me in laughing at my pathetic twin.

"Take a look, that's off the hook," Zatouji said with a smile. I was still laughing at the horrified look on Issei's face.

"Well it's clearly not of the 'roids!" Issei yelled. "What is that, a competitive body builder? Screw that! He looks like he could break me in half!"

"That's no he," Zatouji said. "Sorry, but this he's a she."

"A she?" Issei asked. He collapsed to his knees in despair. "I think I just threw up in my mouth ..."

"S-So, what do you think, Issei?" I asked, struggling to hold in my laughter. "St-Still wanna make sweet, soggy love to her?" I was holding my gut as a stitch began to form from laughing so hard. I was still laughing when we left, as a matter of fact, though it had died down to some light chuckling.

"That Sprite back there, she had really kind eyes," Asia said as we walked. "Even though she's tough on the outside, I could tell she has a good heart."

"Oh, I know that, Asia," I said, still chuckling to myself. "But apparently Issei doesn't. Me, I kind of want something a little easier to manage. Like a small animal or something."

"That thing had pecks the size of my head," Issei mumbled to himself. The disappointment at not finding a hot girl in that lake was still heavy on him.

"Oh my," Zatouji said, coming to a stop, us doing the same behind him. "Look high." We looked to where he pointed us, and saw what looked like some kind of small lizard. It had small wings and it was sniffing around on the branch of a tree.

"What is that?" Issei asked.

"Oh my," Asia said in wonder. "It's really cute!"

"Cute, but powerful, too. When they get angry, they have the power to shoot a lightning that's blue." I didn't think much of that one. Zatouji took way too long to get the rhyming word.

"That type of dragon is pretty rare, isn't it?" Kiba asked.

"I think this is the first time I've ever seen one," Rias said.

"Do it now if you want this one claimed, when these dragons grow up they can no longer be tamed," Zatouji advised us.

"Issei, since you possess the power of the Red Dragon Emperor, that dragon might be a really good fit," Akeno said.

Issei gained a grin. "Yeah, that makes sense," he said. "Right. Dragon, I choose—!" He was cut off by a scream. A scream that came from Asia.

She was being dripped on by ... something. It was a green slime-like substance that seemed to be dripping from the trees. And then it was dripping on all of the girls. Issei and I stood, dumbstruck, as the goo seemed to come from nowhere, covering the girls. Rias and Asia were making nosies of discomfort, but Akeno had a pleasured smile on her face.

"It's green slime!" Kiba said, drawing his sword, but being cut off when some of the slime landed on his face.

As I was observing Akeno, wondering what was going through her head that was making her smile, when her clothes started burning off. My mouth dropped open and my cheeks lit up and ... my 'little soldier' stood at attention. The worst part was her saying things like "I'm so slimy and wet," which was really distracting.

Issei put his hand over his mouth and whispered, "Dude, this is the best thing that's ever happened." I only gave a slight nod of agreement because of what I saw coming Issei's way. Koneko, clothes practically gone (which didn't help my situation at all) walked up and punched Issei hard in the face, knocking his ass to the floor.

"... Perv pants," she said with spite. She looked at me and I put my hands up in surrender, though her blushing face when seeing me instinctively look her up and down told me she wasn't going to do anything.

Rias, Akeno and Asia weren't able to get away from the goo as Koneko was, and they were being restrained by it as it continued to dissolve their clothes. Issei and I, having finally seen enough of the show, prepared to help them out of the mess they'd found themselves in. Well ... okay, we said we were going to help them, but then Issei decided that he wanted the slime as his Familiar.

"Oh, the pain hurts so good I might just have to fight you for it!" Akeno cried.

"With this slime I can make girls naked whenever I want!" Issei yelled in joy.

"No, Issei, you can't!" Rias protested. Her breasts were showing quite clearly now. "Picking a Familiar is one of the most important choices you'll ever make! Please, you'll have to think it through first!" Then the slime wrapped around Rias' ... lower region, and she gasped in either shock or pleasure. The red in her cheeks kind of implied which of those it was.

"I'VE THOUGHT ABOUT IT ENOUGH!" Issei yelled. "THIS IS THE ONE I WANT FOR MY FAMILIAR!"

Rias finally got loose and with a yell, she blasted the slime with her Power of Destruction. Akeno also got loose and blasted the slime with lightning (though oddly enough she gave it an apology first). Koneko smashed it. Kiba slashed it. Issei screamed in despair as the slime was destroyed and I watched with a deadpan. All of the girls had their breasts showing by this point, but the value of the image was worn thing by the violence that was occurring. In the end, all of the girls were covering their breasts, faces of anger or embarrassment on their faces ... with, once again, the pure exception of Akeno, who was smiling despite the situation.

There was still a little slime on Asia, though that problem was solved by a blast of lightning from somewhere in the trees. The small blue dragon flew down from the trees and flew in a circle above us. Then it blasted lightning at Issei for apparently no reason, causing him to fall to the floor in pain. I was sort of laughing.

"You okay, bro?" I asked, covering my mouth in an effort to hide my laughter. The small dragon landed on Asia's shoulder and sat there, leaving her to marvel at its cuteness.

"... That was dope," Koneko said after a few moments of pure silence.

"Sprite dragons don't attack unless they think their loved ones are in trouble," Zatouji said. "So in the Familiar world it means those two should be together on the double."

"You mean Asia and that thing are bonded now?" Kiba asked.

"That's pretty cute," I said.

"He's so cute!" Asia exclaimed. The dragon jumped from her shoulder and into her arms. She hugged it and it seemed to hug her back. It was an admittedly adorable scene. It almost made me forget what just happened. It didn't take long for her to start making the contract. The dragon sat in the middle of a circle of light as Asia spoke. "In the name of Asia Argento and Devils everywhere, I command you to accept this pact to be my Familiar forever." The circle vanished and the dragon hopped back up onto Asia's shoulder.

"Well, looks to me like you've got a friend," Akeno said. "I think you two will be very happy together."

The dragon started nuzzling against Asia's cheek. "Hey, that tickles," she said. "Billy, stop it!"

I perked up when I heard what she'd said. "(Y/N)?" I asked.

"For some reason that name popped in my head," she explained. "I love him, and every time I hold him I'll think of you."

"But that's my name, dammit!" Bill got a bit annoyed which I laughed a bit.

"That's ... really sweet," I said. "Thank you, Asia." I moved over to pet the small dragon. "Hey there, Billy." I petted his head, half expecting him to electrocute me, but he actually nuzzled into my hand. Issei muttered something that sounded like "That's bullshit" and stood there glaring at Billy.

"That's a strange thing to do for one of these creatures," Zatouji said in apparent bewilderment. "They hate other males, that's just one of their features."

"Great, now I just need to find something," I said. Some movement caught my eye from the shrubbery and I looked over to it, the others following my gaze. Then, to my immense delight, a cat made its way out of the bushes. It was purple with large yellow eyes. And the best part? IT WAS WEARING A FUCKING HAT! There was a cat in a witch's hat walking out of a bush! "Holy hell, you are adorable!" I practically yelled.

The cat approached me and began rubbing itself on my legs. "Nya~" it meowed at me. I gushed at it, picked it up and hugged it to me.

"Oh, look at you," I cooed. "Such a beautiful girl, yes you are." I hugged the cat to me and she purred. "You wanna be my Familiar, girl?" She meowed again, and I took that for a yes. "Okay." I put her down. "You just sit right there now." The others helped me put together the pact circle and we began. "In the name of (Y/N) Hyoudou, I command you to accept this contract and become my Familiar." The magic circle did its shiny-whiny thing and disappeared. I picked the cat up once again. "You ready to come home with me, pretty kitty?"

"You bet I am, sweet cheeks!" she said. Everyone froze. None of us said a damn thing. It was probably the most shocked silence we'd had in a while. "What's the matter? Cat got your tongue?"

"Am I dreaming or did the cat just talked?" Bill asked in confusion.

"Um ... I guess you could say that," I said nervously. "So, uh, why didn't you say anything a minute ago?"

"Where's the fun in that?" she asked and giggled. "The name's Blair, honey, and I look forward to spending some time with you very soon." There was a puff of smoke, and all of a sudden I had a naked woman with massive breasts hugging onto me, wearing nothing at all but a witch's hat atop her head. "We are going to have so much fun."

The glares Koneko and Akeno gave both her and me were chilling. The teary eyes of Asia made me feel really bad. The jealous look Issei was giving me was entertaining as hell.

There was too much going through my head to make sense of anything!

[Timeskip]

"They say Sprite Dragons only give themselves to the most worthy and pure-hearted of masters," Rias said to Asia when we got back to the clubroom. I was sitting on my usual spot on the sofas, Blair in cat form sitting on my lap and purring. I was struggling with whether or not I should feel uncomfortable given the current situation. "And normally they'd never choose to serve a Devil."

"Asia used to be a holy sister, so who knows, maybe that had some sway over the little guy." Akeno's voice was sweet and friendly, but she was taking sharp glances at Blair on my lap periodically. I smiled sheepishly and stroked Blair, who was purring away and ... moaning rather sensually every now and then.

Billy was nuzzling into Asia again, and she looked content with her Familiar. Koneko was saying nothing, but was eating sweets silently; she also took glares at Blair every now and then.

"Okay, sweet boy," Asia said to Rataro, "it's time to say goodnight." In a flash of light a similar shade of green to Asia's Twilight Healing, Billy vanished.

"So, are you gonna go anywhere, Blair?" I asked. "That little fellow vanished. Are you gonna do something like that?"

"I hadn't planned on it," she purred. "I was just going to come home with you." She rubbed herself against my chest in an insanely cute way that only a cat could pull off.

"Okay, fine. But you're going to want to stay in cat form if you're not in my room. And whatever you do don't speak when you're in cat form. I can convince my parents to let me keep a cat, but explaining away an insanely attractive girl is going to be another story." The words had left my mouth before I realized I'd said them.

"Oh, insanely attractive, am I?" she asked, smiling. "My, my, I think we'll have to do a thing or two when we're alone, (N/N)." She licked her lips, which would have been incredibly seductive if she wasn't currently a cat.

"I knew I should've gone with master." Raynare glare at the cat, with a killing intent.

"I am so jealous of you two," Issei said, looking between Asia and I. "How did you guys get the one-up on me? Sooner or later I'll get a kick-ass Familiar of my own, bitches!"

Kiba smiled at him. "I can't wait, man," he said. "See you tomorrow, everyone!" We all exchanged farewells and left for our respective homes. Everyone but Rias and Akeno, but I chose to ignore it. They probably had something important to discuss or something.

Blair was walking beside us as we walked, still in her cat form. Probably a wise idea, considering she would be naked otherwise. The sun was rising, so at best I'd probably get two hours of sleep upon getting home. At one point Koneko stopped me by grabbing my arm, everyone else walking ahead of us without realizing.

"... Don't do things with her before you do them with me," she said. There was a tone of worry in her voice that was surprising to me, and made me feel slightly bad.

"Hey, don't worry," I said, wrapping my arms around her small frame in a hug. "I liked you before I liked any of the others. I ..." I thought carefully about my next words, before deciding that the words were accurate. "... I think I love you." She gasped in surprise against me and I looked down at her. I smiled, lifted her chin up with a hand, and placed a light kiss on her lips. "Sorry if this comes as a shock, but it would have stayed in there forever otherwise."

"...That's okay," she said. "...I think I love you, too." We kissed again before realizing that the others were watching us from a distance. I could only guess what they were thinking. "...You probably shouldn't keep them waiting...You all live together, after all."

I smiled. "I guess you're right." We pulled apart. "See you tomorrow?"

"... Of course." She smiled and walked away. I walked towards the others and we headed for home.

I remember thinking to myself that things could only get better from here. And now, looking back on it, I can only think on just how wrong I was.
