(Outfit for this chapter!)

(Your POV)

It was the weekend. FINALLY. And I was spending it with my younger brothers, Zeus, Apollo and Hermes, they were triplets at the age of five and my youngest brother, who was only three months old, Artemis.

We were in the playground so the triplets could have fun.

I pulled the stroller holding Artemis as Zeus and Apollo were playing and laughing in front of me and Hermes stood quickly beside me.

"What's wrong Hermes?" I asked him.

"Oh, nothing..." He mumbled.

I glanced at him.

Hermes was the shy one of the triplets. Always hesitating to ask or do something else when it's not with his family.

"Hey don't you want to race your brothers to the playground? It's not too far from here and I know you could bet them" I encouraged him.

He looked at me with a shy smile.

"You really think so?"

"Oh, I know so" I playfully winked causing him to laugh.

"Hey, Zeus and Apollo!" I called out for them.

They stopped, looked back at me and ran up to me.

"What is it n/n?" Apollo asked me curiously as he and Zeus tilted their heads.

"Well, Hermes is feeling a bit left out so I was thinking maybe the three of you could race to the playground beside it's not that far. Just remind me of the rules again?"

"No talking to strangers-" Zeus started.

"No matter what they offer us" Apollo continued.

"Candy" Zeus said.

"Toys" Apollo said.

"or tocas" Hermes said.

Apollo wrapped his arms around Hermes and snuggled into his brother's shoulder.

"And if they don't leave us only-" He started

"Start screaming-" Zeus said

"Or make a scene" Hermes said.

"Or blow the whistle" The triplets said together.

"Wonderful!" I exclaimed.

"Now do you have your whistles?"

They each pulled out a silver whistle from around their necks.

"Okay well with that, on your marks" I started. I watched the three boys stood alongside each other, giggling as they got ready to race.

"Get set. Go!" With that, the child ran off screaming in pure joy as they ran to the playground.

I smiled at my little brothers as they ran off. I began to pull the stroller when I heard Artemis cooing. I glanced down to see his eyes wide opened and arms outstretched towards me melting my heart.

"Well if it isn't my little Artemis wide awake now" I smiled at him as he cooed again.

"We are almost at the bench then I could take you out, okay?" I told him.

He just smiled and continued cooing.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I sat on a bench close to the playground and glanced over a couple of times to make sure that the triplets were still there but my main attention was on Artemis.

After putting the brakes on the stroller I placed my hand underneath Artemis' armpits as he stood on my legs, cooing.

"Well look at you Arty! You are growing so much!"

He laughed in glee as he started to bouncing on my legs.

"Aw! Look at you! You're dancing already" I told him with a smile.

Suddenly I hear a dog barking. I looked around to see Aja chasing a dog.

"Luug! Get back here!" She told her dog, I assumed.

Luug ran over to me and hid underneath the bench I was sitting on.

Aja soon ran up to me.

"Oh hello Y/n- Oh my Gaylen is that your baby?! He's so adorable!" She squealed as she sat next to her.

"He's so adorable!"

"Thank you and he's my little brother" I corrected her.

"That is so lively!"

I smiled.

"Yeah I guess that is you see the three boys playing on the money bars?" I asked her as I pointed towards them.

"Yes"

"There alway my brothers"

She gasped.

"Really but their features look so alike, who can you tell the difference"

"Well, Zeus the firstborn triplet, wears blue, Apollo, second-born wears orange and Hermes, the third born wears yellow. Also if for some crazy reason if they want to give me stress and switch colours you could tell from their personalities and birthmarks. Hermes is very shy so if you stare at him for long he may break eye contact with you and he also has a mole on his left side of his upper lip. Apollo is very social and loves to give affection and get it back, though that is most children his age anyways. He has a mole on the right side of his nose, near is his eye and for Zeus well he's basically the leader since he's the firstborn. He's very protective of his younger brothers though they're only a few minutes apart. For a little boy, he's very brave"

"So a warrior at heart?" Aja quered.

I nodded as I watched Hermes and Apollo stood on the merry-go-round as Zeus tried his best to push it but it looked as though he wasn't strong enough. Hermes and Apollo got off and began pushing the merry-go-round soon it began moving and they all jumped on and began to cheer, making me smile.

"You much really care about them"

"I do beside how sometimes they could be annoying to deal with, I still love them and I'll do anything to protect them"

"That the same way how I feel about my little brother, he's the only family I have left"

"Oh-" I said shocked.

"I'm so sorry to hear that? I hope you don't mind me asking but what happened?" I asked.

She sighed.

"My parents were attacked by invaders back in Cantalpia and I just, sometime I wonder if I had done something, if I had been to the ceremony on time, maybe it would have been done on time maybe Mama and Papa would still be here" She started to tear up.

I rested Artemis on my chest so he could rest his head on and gently patted her on the back.

"Hey, sometimes things happen that are way out of our control. I remember when my dad disappeared one day. One morning he was sitting at the table with us for breakfast us. Like every other day before he had to go to work. The last thing he told me was that loved me and I'll-" I stopped and left out a sad laugh as I felt tears coming to my eyes.

"He told me that I'll always be his little princess no matter how big I get" I sadly smiled.

"And he's been gone for what? Before mom was three months pregnant. And now I had to deal with the questions. My brother would ask, When is dad coming home? Why did he leave? Is he coming back? And I had no idea how to answer those questions." I told her.

I looked at her and smiled.

"But despite that, you need to be strong for those around you that look to you. You need to look at the bright side of things. Sure they are going to be sad and cry and fall but if you stay down, no one said as so as you fall that you've got to get beak up right away, we're human, we are not perfect but if you stay on the floor for to long process of moving forward and building yourself back up is will not be made. You would just lay in the hole filled with sorrow and grief and the 'what ifs' and you'll never grow"

Once I finished talking she looked at me in shock as I blushed in embarrassment.

"Sorry I kinda went off, I do a lot of essays for English" I nervously laughed.

"I can see why Krel calls you a goddess"

"Your life had, what humans said a bump in the road and you overcame it and that speech you made, are you sure you are not royalty?" She asked.

I blushed and looked away from her.

"What with you Tarrons and flattering people?" I asked, pouting as Artemis cooed and grabbed my shirt pulling it as he tried to climb me.

I held him in front of me.

"Arty no!" I sternly told him.

He cooed at me. I sighed.

"Maybe you need a bottle" I said to myself as I looked around me at the baby bag and looked for the silver thermo bottle with hot water so I could make some baby formula.

Aja giggled.

"I could see why Krel fantasy you"

I stopped searching for it and turned quickly to her.

"He does really? Like when you mean fancy you mean like, he wants like when and wants to start dating me?" I asked.

"Dating? What does time have to do with this?" Aja asked confusedly.

"Well, courting me then"

She placed her hand on my shoulder in excitement.

"Yes! Isn't that lively!"

I grinned.

"I guess it is!"

"Do know that you make Krel very shy so he won't make the first move so you would have to" She explained to me.

"Aw! Thank you so much for telling me, Aja! You are the best also, does this make us friends?"

"Of course it does! Not only is my brother interested in you but you amazed me at how you fought off those skeltegs in school. So lively! Not only are you a fighter but you are very gentle when it comes to those you love" She explained to me.

Before I could thank her Artemis started to cry.

"Aw, I'm sorry Artemis, I can't find the thermo which is weird because it's always at the side of the bag and I'm pretty sure I didn't leave it at home"

"Maybe it fell off when I was coming here" I mumbled as I tried to calm Artemis down.

"I'm so sorry Y/n, looks like Luug took it and hit it, hehe" Aja nervously laughed.

I got up still trying to soothe Artemis.

"Oh that's okay, do you think you could find it for me when you get chance, it was my mother's favourite thermo" I told her as I began to strap Artemis in the stroller.

He had calmed down a bit but he still had tears coming out of his eyes atlas he wasn't screaming anymore.

"Well think it would be best if we go home now since Artemis doesn't have any food"

"Aw! Again I am so sorry for what Luug did. Luug apologise" Aja told him.

Luug came underneath the bench and nudged his head on my leg, whimpering.

"Aw Luug it's okay, I could always buy a new one for my mother" I reassured him.

Luug then ran around me in circles, I guess he was happy that I forgave him.

"Zeus! Hermes! And Apollo! We need to go home now!" I shouted out to them.

I watched as Hermes and Apollo came running laughing. I couldn't help but smile as they did.

Once they were in front of me they were out of breath but still laughing.

"Okay, what trouble did you two caused?"

Apollo tried to stop himself from laughing, by taking deep breaths.

"Zeus was on the monkey bars and and" Apollo choked out before laughing again.

"He fell!" Hermes told me as he erupted with laughter.

I couldn't help but laugh as well but quickly covered my mouth when I saw Zeus stomping towards us, tears threatening to burst from his eyes.

"Oh Zeus, come here" I kneeled and outstretched my arms for him to hug.

He quickly rushed in for the hug.

"I-I didn't fall, it was because this kid before with his greasy hands oiled the bars so I fell not because I wasn't strong" He explained through his hiccups as he cried.

"I understand Zeus, I know you are very strong"

"But why- why were you laughing at me?" He asked.

"Because darling it was very comedic! And look you have me and your brothers smiling. Besides now one else was watching"

"Really?" He asked as he looked up at me.

I nodded.

"Yeah! We didn't mean to make you feel bad Zu Zu" Hermes apologized.

"Yeah you're our brother, we are supposed to have fun not bring each other down" Apollo added.

"Great, now let's group hug!"

Apollo and Hermes came up and wrapped their arms around Zeus along with me.

"Okay now that done with, wells go home. I'll make some nice Jello and some fruit cocktail" I promised them as I got up from the hug.

"Yay!" The children cheered.

I looked over to Aja, who was smiling with Luug on her lap.

"I'll see you in school on Monday Aja" I waved at her.

"Wait before you go, do you mind giving me your phone number?" She asked me.

"Oh sure"

I gave her my number and quickly made my way back home.

Not only did I get to talk to Aja but I found out that Krel liked me! I can't wait to get to know him better.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

(Extra)

Aja went back home with Luug.

"Oh, little brother~" Aja teasingly called.

He emerged from inside the mothership, in his Akiridion form.

"What is Aja?"

She grinned.

"I had the pleasure of talking to...Y/n!" She exclaimed.

He walked up to her.

"You what! What did you tell her?" He asked her.

She giggled.

"Oh nothing..."

"I don't believe you"

"Fine. I maybe have told her you fancy her"

The fear on Krel's face said everything.

"And why in galylen's name would you do that?!"

"Relax little brother"

"And what is the meaning of this" Vex asked

"Krel has what the human's call a crush on the human named Y/n" Aja told him.

Krel groaned.

"Why does it feel like no one is listening to me?"

"Oh is that so? Well, Varvatos Vex must make sure this Y/n isn't a threat to the royals. Bring her here! So Varvatos Vex could integrate her" He ordered.

"Oh no no no-no. Absolutely not. We are not bringing her to the mothership, she might find out that we are. I mean she appears to be smarter than the average person"

"Oh relax Vex. I talked to her and seemed to know nothing of us being Akiridion or even what that is" Aja told him.

"It doesn't matter. We are not bringing her here" Krel said as he walked toward the

"Okay I get it, letting Y/n come here is risky but stop pretending that you don't like her! It pretty obvious"

Krel looked back at his sister.

"Is it that obvious?" He asked

"Yes" Aja, Vex and Mother answered.

He sighed.

"Okay...maybe I do have a crush on her but it won't matter. As soon as I get the Daxial Array and get Mother running again I'll have to leave"

He sighed.

"So it doesn't make any sense to start a relationship with her"

Aja walked up to her brother and rested her hand on his shoulder.

"I think you need to 'live in the moment', I once heard Mary say that. You might as well enjoy your time here on Earth and make memories you'll always carry in your core" She told him.

Krel smiled at his sister.

"You're right Aja. You know what? The next time I see her I'm going to talk to her and get to know her better" Krel proclaimed.

"Yes! That's the spirit little brother!" Aja turned her brother on.

"Varvatos Vex will see fit if the human Y/n does anything to harm you that she will not have a glorious death!" Vex shouted.

Krel's eyes widened as he began to shake his head.

"No no, that won't be necessary Varvatos" Krel told him.

Aja giggled as she made her way up the stairs.

"Well I'm going to talk to Y/n now"

Krel stepped back out from the ship and glance at Aja

"You have her number?" Krel asked.

She smiled.

"Yes~"

"Can you give it to me?"

Aja pretended to think.

"Well let me think...No!" She childishly said before running up the stairs

"Oh come on Aja!" Krel called to her as he chased her.
