The scene changed back into the house, with Maple's arrival things have changed a bit.

With the moose around, everyone started being a bit productive and joined in on cleaning the house.

Maple: Hurricane are the clothes all dried up?

Hurricane: Yeah yeah, where do I hang 'em?

Maple: Yeah I just hang them outside to dry out.

Hurricane was carrying clothes and mimicked Maple talking.

Hurricane: Why did Dario even bring her in the first place?

She walked passed Banny who was cleaning via vacuum cleaner on the floor.

Banny: I don't know, but I think she's a good addition because Dario's house can get dirty by us most of the time and he usually takes time to clean our messes.

Sprinter was rubbing the furniture with a small towel and a spray with her other hand.

She rapidly finished one furniture and moved to the other.

Sprinter: Say, where's meatsack at? Didn't he say today was his free day?

Maple: Oh yeah forgot to mention, Dario is with his boss at a meeting they're discussing something.

Peekon was washing the dishes.

Peekon: Ah I see, what about you tho? Why aren't you pitching in helping us clean?

The moose was beside the elk.

Maple: Well lemme freshen you up sweetie...

"Flashback"

The scene changed to Dario who was asleep on his bed, but then a huge shadow covered over him.

The hunter woke up all of a sudden.

Maple: Morning shorty.

Dario: Maple...?

Maple: Time to wake up and get ready for your day, need I remind you that you're with your boss in a meeting soon.

Dario: But the alarm didn't sound off-

Then his alarm rang, making the Americo-Macedonian grab a pillow and smashed it on his face groaning.

The scene changed to Dario who had finished showering as there was a towel around him, he was looking around the mirror as he put shaving cream around his face.

Dario: Alright and now-Hey where's my shaver?

Maple's hand entered the bathroom with a shaver.

Maple: Oh I forgot to mention, your old one was very hairy and almost unusable so I bought you a new one.

Dario: Awww, thanks Mapes.

He grabbed the shaver from her and began doing his routine.

Next scene, Dario was coming down as he was doing his tie but fumbled it up.

Maple: Hey lemme get that for you.

She appeared whilst wearing a cooking apon and fixed his tie and made it look good for the hunter.

Maple: There you go and-

She reached out for something and gave the latter a cup of coffee.

Maple: I made you some coffee by the way. And I also made breakfast for me and the rest of the girls, I'm gonna wake them up once you leave for your meeting.

Dario: You're sure doing a lot for me and the girls ever since you came here.

Maple: I know and soon I'll make them pitch in the work, that is you give me permission.

Dario took a sip from his cup.

Dario: Sure knock yourself out, but just don't be too bossy tho.

Maple: Don't worry sweetheart I know the line between respectful and strict.

She then kissed his cheek.

Maple: And have a nice day with your boss.

Dario smiled and kissed her back.

Dario: Will do Mapes, love ya.

"End of flashback"

Peekon: You're like an angel sent from the sky.

Maple: Yeah, and now I'll teach you all how to be good house keepers while he's away.

Hurricane's head popped out from the glass door.

Hurricane: And how long will that take?

Maple: I dunno he didn't tell me nor did I ask him.

The scene changed to Dario and Seth who were at a Starbucks cafe.

Seth: And as your file report here says Dario, you're doing a good job as a contracted hunter. You got a ton of kills and plus the business that I sell body parts of the animals such as fur and organs increased a bit.

Dario: Thanks Seth, anywhoo did Marcus come back?

Seth: You mean Marcus Courtois? No he's still in Thailand, he told me that his hunts were rather difficult and vast for him to track down.

Dario: Ah, well I could've gone with him and assisted him.

Seth: Yeah Seth wished to go solo because he knew he could do it while I sent you to Canada.

Dario: Seth, I have one request from you. Never send me to Canada alone.

Seth: Oh why what happened?

Dario felt a bit uncomfortable.

Dario: Let's just say... I had a bad experience there..

Seth: I see, well next time I send you there I'll see what I can do. But what bad experience did you have?

Dario: Well I was almost killed by one of the trophies and was tossed around like a ragdoll. That's all I'll say.

Seth: Fair enough, just be more cautious next time. Now what animal attacked you?

Dario: The...polar bear...

Seth: Ah, yeah those eat humans so you can't blame their genetics.

Dario: Locals said it was a man eater.

Seth: Well that makes a lot more sense.

Dario: Anywhoo where's the next place where I'm gonna hunt at?

Seth: Oh yeah well two places actually, your first destination is Utah and then after that it's Iowa.

Dario: Two states I've never been into, I can try and handle those ones by myself.

Seth: Because they're still USA am I right?

Dario: I mean it's home and I adapted myself to it and know what roams and what doesn't.

They laughed it off.

Seth: So Dario... seeing anyone lately?

Dario: What do you mean by that?

Seth: How's love life going?

Dario: Oh, well it's going great. They-I mean she's a real keeper hehehe...

Seth: Oh is that so, well I wanna meet her that is if you don't mind.

Dario's face grew to one out of shock.

Dario: M-meet her?

Seth: Yeah like as in me come over and see how you two are doing.

The Americo-Macedonian's face was sweating.

Dario: Sure but I need to give her a call to see how she would react to that.

Seth: Sure go ahead.

He smiled as he watched the hunter leave.

The latter pulled out his phone and called for Maple.

The moose was busy cleaning but she got the call.

Maple: Hey Dario, how's it going sweetie?

Dario: It's alright Mapes, anywhoo I have something to tell you.

Maple: Make it quick I'm busy cleaning the atti-

Dario: My boss is coming over and wants to meet you.

Maple dropped her duster in shock.

Maple: He wants to come over?!?

Sprinter heard that.

Sprinter: Who's coming over?

Maple: I can't believe it, what do we do?

Dario: I don't know, but it's gonna be one of you while the rest hide until he doesn't leave. I can imagine he's not gonna stay for long. You guys figure out who stays and who hides.

Seth: Hey Dario!

Dario: Shit I gotta go, cya!

He ended the call.

Maple came down as the rest were eyeing her

Hurricane: Maple who's coming over?

Maple: It's his boss, he's coming over.

Peekon: Shit what do we do?

Maple: He told me we have to decide over who stays here and pretends all is normal while the rest hide until his boss leaves.

Banny: Umm that's gonna be hard to decide.

Hurricane: No way am I in hiding, I wanna meet this head honcho myself.

Sprinter: I saw him and he seems like a good boss, he'd definitely like to see me-

Maple: Not with those marks on your face, that's a dead giveaway that you ain't actually a human.

Peekon: Girls let's calm down.

Sprinter: Does anyone have make up, I wanna cover these marks.

Hurricane: I'm gonna go and change to my different clothing.

Maple: Wait I got an idea...

She smirked as the other four were confused.

The scene changed to Dario and Seth walking to the latter's house door.

Dario: And we made it, lemme open the door for you sir.

Seth: Why thank you.

He then opened the door and he saw something he wish he didn't see.

He saw all five of his girls, but they were all dressed in maid outfits.

In addition Sprinter wore make up that covered the red markings on her cheeks.

Dario: *Gasp*

Hurricane: Hey pretty boy~.

Dario: What did I tell you guys on-

Seth saw them.

Seth: Dario? You said you had one girlfriend at home, and I see five of-

He was cut off by Banny who approached them with well intentions.

Banny: We're all his girlfriends mister Seth. It's a pleasure to meet you I'm Stephanie.

She offered her hand to which Seth shook in confusion.

Hurricane: I'm Henrietta.

Sprinter: I'm Mindy.

Peekon: I'm Penny.

Maple: And I'm Maple.

Seth: Is this true? You have five of them?

Dario: I said I had girl-FRIENDS at home earlier, didn't you hear well?

Seth: My apologies, may I come in?

Girls: Of course!

Hurricane: Make yourself welcome!

Seth came in and then he noticed how tall Maple is.

Seth: Sheesh you're huge, how big are you?

Dario: She's 7ft.

Seth was so shocked he then chuckled.

Maple: I'm not from here, I'm from... umm-

Dario: Russia! She's from Russia.

Seth: That explains everything then. And my they're all pretty.

The five giggled.

Peekon: So what can we get you Seth?

Seth: Well, I just had coffee this morning but I could go for some tea.

Sprinter: Oh, be right back in a jippy.

She rushed away.

Dario: Come on girls you can sit down.

They all sat down, they all had nervous looks.

Seth: So Dario how did you manage to get them all?

Dario: Charm, I guess?

Banny: He's a very nice and an incredible man.

Hurricane: A keeper may I add on.

Maple: Despite me being bigger than him I find him cute despite the height difference actually.

Peekon: He and I knew each other since childhood.

Sprinter: *from afar* And he has a big-

Dario: Moving on, yeah me and Peekon knew each other since we were kids, when I was in camp.

Seth: Ah so is she your first one?

Banny: Actually I am. We met in Texas.

Seth: Texas?

Dario: Yeah, she's one of the few friends of a relative of mine. We gotten close over time.

Hurricane: I come from Wyoming, I'm a tour guide there that showed him around.

Dario: Y-yeah, she was really helpful.

Seth chuckled.

Seth: I must say Dario, you remind me of my father back in the day. He was the same age as, same color of eyes minus the hair he wasn't a ginger tho. But still he used to have so many girls, he'd hung out with all of them.

Maple: Like a harem?

Seth: Precisely! But one day he had to choose one and settle down, and that's how I came to be.

The girls looked at one another in confusion and fear.

Dario: Oh and was he happy with the result?

Seth: Yes, they're now elderly and live a great life and are proud of me growing up and becoming an entrepreneur.

Banny then whispered to Peekon.

Banny: Does this mean Dario will soon choose one of us and dump the rest?

Peekon gulped and sweats in fear.

Peekon: I hope not...

Hurricane joined in.

Hurricane: Wait what are you two blabbering, no way is he gonna do that.... right?

Maple: Keep it together girls we can talk about this later...

Dario: That's kind of sweet actually.

Seth: Mhm, seeing your ladies I can tell they're energetic.

Sprinter came back with the cup of tea.

Sprinter: I'm back with the tea.

Seth: Why thanks Mindy, but yeah all of them are beautiful. It'd be a shame since you have to pick one in the future.

He then leaned to Dario and whispered to him.

Seth: If I were you I'd pick the childhood crush since you clearly know her the most. As for someone I'd not recommend, I'd pick the pale one.

Sprinter overheard that and changed from a happy demeanor to an angry one.

She then spilled the tea all over the entrepreneur.

Seth: Ahh!

Dario: Sir!

Sprinter: Oooops, I accidentally slipped *evil smirk*

The rest looked at her sarcastic acting but then looking at what Seth said earlier, they think he deserved it.

Dario: You ok there?

Seth: Yeah yeah, I'm fine Dario. It was an accident.

Sprinter: Yeah... it was...

Maple: Want us to give you a spare shirt?

Seth: No no that's ok, I was going to leave anyway.

He got up.

Dario: Leaving so early?

Seth: Yeah besides me being your boss for hunting I have a business to run, I'll see you when you're done in Utah.

Dario: Hold on let me drive you-

Then a car horn was heard.

Seth: No need, I just texted my limo driver to come pick me up and it seems he arrived.

Dario opened the door for his boss.

Dario and the girls: Bye!

Seth: Take care of those girls well Dario, and farewell.

He winked at them before leaving to his limo and it drove off after he entered

Dario closed the door and then turned to face the girls who had nervous smiles.

Hurricane: Well... brace yourselves fellas..

Banny: We're gonna get yelled at...

Instead of being yelled at, Dario laughed and fell on the floor while resting his back on the floor.

The girls were confused.

Peekon: What's so funny?

Dario stopped laughing.

Dario: Man that was hilarious, the way you all dressed up like that and acted all nice to him and then Sprinter added the cherry ontop with the tea pouring over Seth.

The cheetah wiped off her make up revealing her markings.

Sprinter: I had every reason to, after all it looks like I'm his least favorite one with that remark her said before I spilled it on him.

Hurricane: Fair game there.

Maple: I tried my hardest not to laugh.

Banny: But anyways, Dary I wanna ask something...

Dario got up.

Dario: Sure what's up?

Banny: What Seth said about picking one of us...does this mean you'll only settle down with just one of us and then kill off the rest?

Dario: Awww Banny...

He hugged her.

Dario: There's no way I'd do that. I love all the same way, I don't care what people say I'll pick all of you and get married with the five of you and whoever else I meet in the future. I don't play favoritism and don't plan onto. You guys are the loves of my life.

H/S/P/M: Oh Dario~.

They all hugged him on all sides.

Hurricane: That's so sweet... but seriously if you do that I'll ram you to the moon.

Sprinter: I'll slice ya to ribbons.

Maple: I'll do the same thing I did to that bear.

Peekon: And I.... Well I got nothing.

They all laughed it off in the end.

End.

OK guys this was chapter 23.

Peace out!
