Aclysia returned to her research after they all calmed down. They left her to it and returned to Rave’s room, after a short trip to the washroom. John loaded the burrowed clothes into the machine, to return to Jimmie tomorrow. After a few more hours of hanging out, he put on his school uniform and got ready to head home.
“Is it really fine that she stays here?” John asked while putting on his shoes.
“Don’t worry about it, tiger. Dad won’t make a fuss once he learns where she’s from. If he even sees her. She’ll probably just sit there all night and check stuff out.”
“Yeah, no idea how I would explain that to my mom,” John sighed and scratched the back of his head. Taking Aclysia back home with him would be the start of a very odd conversation. How much would Brenda condemn him if she found out he had screwed three women in one day? Quite a bit, perhaps? He actually wasn’t sure and he didn’t care to find out.
“She ain’t part of the Abyss, so you gotta deal with that,” Rave shrugged. “Just how the cookie crumbles.”
“I guess.” John let out a long sigh.
“Hey, this is fine with me. I can make her do my chores and stuff. Start the maid training.” Rave got a little closer and purred, “She’d make for a good first gal in the harem, right?”
John could only smile at the reminder of how good life had been to him today. “Don’t you abuse the authority you have over her,” he cautioned her. “Even if I told her you get one command that supersedes whatever I say, she is her own person.”
“Oh, I’ll be nice to her,” Rave licked her lips in a very overt manner. How John wished he could stay… he probably could from next week onwards. What mom was there to notice he wasn’t home at night when she was in DC?
John tightened his laces and got up. A quick goodbye kiss and then he opened the door. “See you tomorrow?”
“Totes’,” Rave responded with a large smile. “Be safe, tiger.”
He returned home without further incident. He awoke the next day without further incident. He went to school without further incident. He even apologized to Victoria without further incident. He gave Travolta the money and some other valuables.
One eventless day turned into two, two into three, three into a week. The day his mother left Springfield came about. He saw her off to the small airport in the city, then he returned to an empty house.
He bought some clothes for Aclysia that she could wear in public without attracting more attention than her beauty already did. The hair stayed white, with the kinds of colour people could turn their hair these days, it stood out but not to a degree that alarmed mundanes.
John aced tests, ignored glares by his former bullies, enjoyed the homelife with a woman who adopted ever more maidly standards, and just generally was having a good time. All throughout that, he grinded a few more levels out with Rave and Aclysia, sometimes Victoria. He even got Wisdom to 75, providing another upgrade in his MP regeneration.
Things were good.
