Aphmau's POV
I groaned, and got up to get the phone as it started ringing.

"What are you complaining about?" Aaron asked, pausing the show.

"The phone is interrupting the anime!" I complained, picking it up and pressing talk, putting it up to my ear.

"Hello?" I asked.

"Hey Aphmau!" LUCINDA?!

"Lucinda?! Oh my Irene, long time no speak!" I exclaimed.

"I know right! Anyway, I'm calling to let you know, that Kim and I moving back onto Mystreet!" Lucinda cheered.

"YES!! I can't wait to see you again! It's been too long!" I did a little happy dance, with my tail swishing around happily.

"Same! Also, we heard about Garroth." She said, serious now, "I'm hoping for a little more explanation on what's going on." My face and mood fell.

"Can we... talk more when you get here? That's a little... bit of a touchy subject." I laughed nervously.

"Well, that's fine since we just pulled onto the street." Lucinda replied.

"WHAT?!" I exclaimed.

"Yeah!" She chirped.

"AARON! LUCINDA AND KIM ARE HERE! LET'S GO!" I yelled.

"Wait-" I didn't give him time to protest, grabbing his hand and pulling him outside. A car drove past us, and then backed up and the front passenger window rolled down. A woman with long, wavy orange hair stuck her head out. She had sparkling red eyes, and smiled when she saw us.

"Aphmau! Aaron!" Lucinda exclaimed, waving. I pulled Aaron up to them.

"Lucinda! I missed you!" I hugged her, or tried to. She pushed me away, and opened the door, allowing me to hug her properly.

"Aphmau! I missed you to! And you Aaron." She smiled at him as I pulled away. He waved.

"Good to see you again." He said, smiling a little.

"APHMAU!" I got tackled to the ground by a blueberry.

"Who's in the car?! Is it Garroth?! I swear-"

"Katelyn! Your being paranoid!" Travis ran up behind her, pulling her off of me.

"Katelyn? Travis?" Lucinda asked. I could hear Kim laughing in the driver's seat.

"LUCINDA?!" Katelyn yelled.

"Lucinda? Hey!" Travis grinned.

"LUCINDA!" Katelyn tackled her in a hug.

"Why is Katelyn tackling everyone today?" Aaron asked.

"She saw you talking to people here, and got paranoid about Garroth being in the car. As for Lucinda, she's just really happy." Travis replied. Lucinda got out of the car, as Katelyn pulled away.

"I'm going to head to the house." Kim said, "I'll be back in a minute."

"Alright Kim." Lucinda replied, closing the door and waving, as Kim drove away to the house across from Katelyn and Travis. She parked, and got out, jogging back over to us.

"Hiya!" She smiled, stopping next to Lucinda.

"KIM!" Katelyn and I hugged her.

"Can't... breath!..." Kim gasped. We both pulled away. Travis started laughing at us, and Katelyn smacked him.

"OW! Okay, I'm sorry!" Travis held his shoulder, which now had a large bump.

"Hmph." Katelyn huffed.

"Ah, young love." Lucinda teased. She got smacked on the shoulder too. Aaron snorted, and Katelyn glanced at me.

"I ain't hitting your boyfriend." She raised her arms, stepping away.

"Thank you." I said, then hit Aaron over the shoulder.

"Was that a mosquito bite?" He asked me, smirking.

"You wanna go?" I asked.

"Hah! As if you could beat me." He retorted.

"Boyfriend?" Kim asked.

"Is that a Luna marking?" Lucinda asked at the same time, pointing at my neck. I blushed, and covered the small crescent.

"There's one on Aaron too." Kim pointed at him. I glanced back. He started blushing too, and covered his own.

"Yes." Katelyn said.

"Katelyn!" I could've sworn my face was melting suddenly.

"You marked her?!" Lucinda exclaimed, staring at Aaron.

"Uh... y-yeah..." he scratched the back of his neck nervously, revealing his purple crescent moon as he looked away.

"A-anyway! Do you need help moving in?" I asked, changing the subject.

"Oh, you don't have to!" Lucinda replied.

"Nonsense! We want to!" I retorted, crossing my arms with sass.

"We do?" Aaron asked. I elbowed him.

"Right! We do!" He said quickly. Apparently I can hit hard.

So, we spent the day helping Lucinda and Kim move onto the street.

Afterward, we chatted in their house, while Lucinda made potions.

"It's funny how nobody even said hello to me." Kim said suddenly.

"Ghost, they didn't even know you were there." Lucinda sighed.

"Ghost?" Katelyn asked.

"You still share a body with Ghost?" I asked Kim, "I thought you would've found a... more permanent solution."

"Unfortunately, no. We're having trouble with that..." Kim sighed.

"Anyway," Lucinda butted in quickly, before Katelyn and Travis started asking questions, "Garroth.

"UGH do we have to talk about this?!" Katelyn groaned, dramatically falling back onto Travis, who just sighed.

"Just... tell us the story." Lucinda said, coming over and sitting next to Kim.

"Basically..." I started.

"He was a horrible boyfriend." Aaron said. Travis snickered a little.

"Your not wrong." I sighed, "I did all the housework, and he never asked. He just told me to do it. At first, I didn't see the problem. He always had a reason, because he was going to hang out with the guys, or he was going to work, or working from home. I... never really questioned it... except for one night, which... didn't really go well. I dismissed as stress though. He had a lot of it, being the heir to his family's company."

"I met Aph again at a store." Aaron took up the story. "She recognized Blaze, who I had been with, and then me. After she left, Rilen said Garroth was using her, and Dottie mentioned she wasn't even aloud to have her ears and tail out. After a while, Diana, one of my pack members, sent me a picture of Garroth and one of her friends. Because her friend was unofficially dating Garroth, and they were kissing."

"After he showed the picture to Aphmau, I went with him to get her stuff. Jenny was there, I yelled at her a bit. she left while I grabbed her stuff. I came back down to Garroth threatening us with a knife. We exchanged some banter, he called Aphmau his, even though she obviously isn't, tried to stab me, and got Aaron instead. Aaron knocked Garroth out, and we came home to Travis asleep and Aphmau watching Netflix. Which then proceeded into some kind of party, since it didn't take long for news to spread. Zane, Laurence, and Kawaii~chan showed up, followed by Aaron's pack, I went to yell at them to get the werewolves out, and came upon them having sex-"

"WE WERE NOT!" I yelled, as my face suddenly started melting.

"How did you even get that?!" Aaron exclaimed, bright red.

"Oh I don't know, maybe the fact that you were together on the bed, and Aphmau was moaning. Loudly." Katelyn gave me a pointed look. If it was possible for my face to become even redder then it was, it did.

"Anyway!" Travis interrupted quickly, "I was watching Aphmau while they were gone. Also, Ein is cool now."

"Really?" Kim asked.

"That still confuses me." Katelyn said.

"What else am I supposed to do, when he is literally on his hands and knees, begging to be let into the pack?" Aaron sighed. I snickered at the image of Ein begging at Aaron's feet. It was kind of amusing.

"That's an amusing image." Lucinda snickered, I nodded in agreement.

"It was uncomfortable..." Aaron sighed.

"I CAN HEAR YOU! ALSO HAI LUCINDA AND KIM!" Ein yelled through the open window.

"HELLO EIN!" Lucinda yelled back, with a small sigh.

"HIYA!" Kim called cheerfully.

"YOU TOO?!" Ghost exclaimed.

"AND GHOST!" Ein yelled. I heard laughing outside.

"Don't laugh at me Daniel!" Ein exclaimed.

"Sorry!" Daniel continued to laugh anyway.

"THE GOVERNMENT IS DOING A TERRIBLE JOB AT CATCHING GARROTH!" Ken yelled, making everyone outside and inside start laughing.

"What? People were yelling. So I joined in." Ken said.

We heard the group laughing as they walked away.

The sun started to set, and I saw Aaron's tail twitch. Time for us to head home I guess.

"We should get going." I said.

"Alright, it was great catching up with you!" Kim smiled.

"Yeah! Make sure to come by again, kay?" Lucinda asked.

"Of course!" I exclaimed.

"Yeah, just be warned, that your probably going to be invited to a lot of outings now." Aaron warned.

"KARAOKE NIGHT WILL BE EVEN MORE FUN!" I cheered.

"HELL YEAH!" Katelyn yelled.

"Irene save me..." Travis muttered. Lucinda and Kim laughed.

"Good to know." Lucinda laughed.

"See you tomorrow?" Kim asked.

"I'm sure you will!" I replied, smiling.

"Night you two." Katelyn said, "I'm staying here to chat."

"See you tomorrow." Travis said.

Then Aaron and I left.

Back at our house, it took five seconds.

Five seconds,

for Aaron to get playful.

We entered the house, and right after he closed the door, before I could blink, I was pushed against the couch.

"Meep!" I squeaked as he leaned down, nipping at my nose. He smirked, and nuzzled his head into the side of my neck, and I blushed as he licked it. I pulled my hands up, and he grabbed them, pushing them against the couch above me. He pulled away, still pinning me to the couch, and stared down at me, smirking. I started squirming, and whimpering quietly. He leaned down, kissing me. It was gentle at first, but it quickly became rough, as he moved his hands, running them through my hair. He started to lift my shirt, and I didn't stop him.

Until the window shattered.
