HA! You all thought this would be a lemon didn't you!? Think again >:) 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Thank god you all just wanted cuddles." I giggled as Autumn hugged me closer

"Of course! We wouldn't take advantage of you....yet." Russel smirked as she laid her head on my lap 

I smiled nervously and ran my hand through her blond locks,

"So...is there anything you girls want to do while the others are gone?" 

"Not really..." Madoka answered 

"Well-um, could you drive me back to the therapy center? I want to have another go at it.."

"Of course." Chloe cracked a small smile 

The girls got up and Madoka helped me up from the couch. Autumn came back downstairs with my arm crutches in hand. I smiled at her as a thank you, and quickly put them on. Russel went to start her car while Chloe packed some snacks for us. Autumn helped me to the car as Madoka locked the door,

"Shotgun!" I giggled and started to 'run' towards the car 

"Y/N be careful!" Autumn glared at me worryingly when she finally caught up to me, and wrapped her arms around my waist 

"Autumn I'm fine." I giggled before looking up at her, "But I promise I'll be careful." I gently placed my hand on her cheek, staring into her brown eyes

I could see a faint blush on her cheeks before she quickly looked away,

"W-Well we should get going.."

"Yep!" I smiled and pulled my hand away from her face

I went to open the door when she did it for me,

"Why thank you my gentle woman." I giggled at Autumn as she did a dramatic bow

"Of course." She smiled before shutting the door 

Once the rest of the girls were in the car Russel took off towards the therapy center. I looked at the buildings as we passed by, trying to calm my excitement. I know it's weird to be excited, but if I keep trying then I could finally walk again! And without these stupid crutches! After a few minutes of Russel's driving, we magically appeared at the therapy center. 

"We're here!" Russel smiled before getting out

I looked over my shoulder to see Madoka and Autumn clutching their seat belts for dear life, while Chloe was sitting there calm as could be. After recovering they quickly got out of the car as Russel helped me out. 

"Thanks."

"No problem babe." Russel smirked as I blushed, and she kissed my cheek 

The girls followed after me as we walked in through the front doors,

"Already back Miss L/N?" The front desk lady, Aika, greeted me with a smile

"Yep! I just can't wait to walk again."

Aika giggled, "Well the room is already for you."

"Thank you Aika." I smiled politely

She nodded her head as I made my way to the room. When I didn't hear footsteps behind me I turned around to see the girls glaring at Aika, well everyone except Chloe.

"Girls? Are you coming or not?" I asked them, and they quickly snapped out of it

By the time they were in the therapy room I was already doing some warm up rounds with my crutches. 

"So um, how does this work?" Autumn asked awkwardly 

"Well I have to take off my crutches first." I giggled and she blushed softly, "But I need two of you to support me in case I fall. One of you supports me on the right while the other on the left." 

"Are you sure you should be doing this? You just fell down the stairs a few hours ago.." Chloe stated softly, but worry was evident in her voice 

"Eh, it's perfectly fine." 

"Well I'll take your right!" Autumn smiled and she quickly took my right hand

"I'll hold your left.." Madoka blushed and held my left hand 

"Alrighty! Let me just get rid of these stupid crutches." I smiled before trying to get the crutches off

Although they didn't seem to want to come off, and Autumn and Madoka had to help me. Russel and Chloe sat down on the chairs across the room before we started. I gripped Madoka's and Autumn's hands tightly as I started to walk. My legs wobbled at first, and I could tell Madoka and Autumn was worried.

"It's okay. This happens sometimes." I reassured them 

They nodded and helped me walk across the room. We did this for about an hour with very few errors. I almost fell a couple of times, but Autumn and Madoka were quick to catch me. On the last round I decided to challenge myself,

"Hey girls?"

"Yeah?"

"Could you uh, let go?"

"Why!?" 

"Well I wanted to see if I could walk by own, even if it's a few steps."

They seemed to think about it for awhile before Russel spoke,

"Let her do it. It's her choice." 

Madoka and Autumn looked at each other before letting go of my hands. I took a deep breaths before slowly taking a step forward. My leg wobbled, but I smiled since I didn't fall. I took another and another, and smile kept getting bigger. Once I touched the wall on the other side of the room I turned around with a huge smile on the face,

"I did it!" I cheered as the girls smiled

Autumn and Madoka ran towards me, and Autumn engulfed me in a hug. Madoka slipped her arms around my waist as I smiled down at her. They helped me put on my crutches, and I looked over at Chloe who was looking over at Russel, who was by the window.

"Russel?" I asked softly as I saw that she was glaring at something through the window

She didn't answer me, so I followed her gaze. My chest hurt when I saw Ichika, and the rest of my girlfriends across the street. They were all holding crepes, laughing well except for Chifuyu, and I swore some of them had blushes on their faces. Luckily the window was one-sided, so they couldn't see us,

"What are they doing over here?" Madoka growled, "The mall is on the other side of town." 

That didn't help the feeling in my stomach, and if anything it got worse. 

"L-Let's do a few more rounds." I muttered and turned away from the window

"I have a better idea." Russel stated and she softly grabbed my hand, "Let's do some shopping of our own."

I smiled up at her,

"Yeah. That sounds fun."

Timeskip 4 hours brought to you by chibi Autumn, Russel, Madoka, and Chloe freaking out about chibi Y/N in a dress

"-and that's why I don't like cats." Madoka stated as she held the front door open for me

I giggled as I walked into our shared house, but I stopped once I saw it was pitch black. 

"Um did you cut off all the lights Russel?"

"No." She said from behind me

As soon as the front door shut all the lights came on. My eyes widened slightly as I saw the girls glaring at us, well more like glaring at me, from the couch.

"Where have you been!?" Cecilia demanded as she stood abruptly 

"Funny coming from the ones that were gone for about 6 hours." Autumn huffed

"Well!?" Rin growled, "Answer the question!!"

"We just went to the therapy center. Then we went shopping." I sighed tiredly as I walked towards the kitchen

"Speaking of shopping...you girls want to tell us what you were doing with Ichika on the other side of town? Not anywhere near the mall or shops?" I demanded, and I looked at them from the corner of my eye

The girls except for Chifuyu and Tabane, had wide eyes and their breathes had hitched.

"As I thought." I glared at them

"We can explain-" Charlotte started, but was interrupted by the phone ringing 

I quickly picked it up since I was the closest,

"Hello?"

"Hi is this Y/N L/N?"

"Yes. Who is this?"

"Well this is the US president speaking to you."

My eyes widened,

"Sir!"

"There's no need for formalities. I came to contact you about General Goodwin. As you know his trial is coming up in a few weeks. I would like for you to testify against him."

"I-I-"

"You don't have to Y/N. We already have F/N on board."

"Can I bring someone with me? Just to settle my nerves?"

"Of course!"

"Alright. I'll do it."

"We'll send one of our lawyers over to talk to you and F/N. See you soon."
