5 My Future Luna?

As I sat there watching reruns of our favorite childhood anime, the girls finally returned. They came inside giggling, and stumbling over to the couch. Yvette surprised me by plopping down into my lap, and kissing me on my cheek. She looked at me with drunk eyes and said, "You know.. hic.. You're actually really really hot you know? Like a fire! He he he. I always want to be by your side. Make me your Luna!" I sighed as I gave Yvette a complicated look and said, "Talk to me again when you're sober and until then I'll think about it." Obviously I want to say yes, but I want to make sure it's what she really wants and not some drunken rash decision. Let's let her sleep first. That's when I noticed the bed by the door. It seems Yvette told Karen I've been sleeping out on my couch. How nice of her.

I got up off my couch and took out the cushions. Vale helped me fold out the bed frame and we carried the foldable mattress and placed it onto the frame. Now I have a bed in my couch. We collapsed the bed in and put the cushions back. I helped Karen get Yvette to my bedroom and got her settled. Then the three of us sat on the couch, and Karen began to speak.

"So, now we're able to talk. You're now a wolf boy, and a girl with an Irish last name meaning wolf likes you. Is this deliberate, or your fate? Only time will tell. Vale told me you rescued her from being lost. She confirmed you saved her, and clearly it was from something bad. I saw the fear in her eyes and I know that look. You have my eternal thanks as a woman for what you did for her." I felt a little embarrassed by her praise, but I nodded with a light smile in response. Vale had a sudden look of understanding in his eyes, and looked at me with pride. Vale, myself and Karen chatted for a few hours before we folded the bed back out and passed out for the night.

When I woke up in the morning Vale and Karen were both gone and Yvette was up making breakfast like usual. Kudos to her. No hangover huh? Well I don't have one either, but I'm not human, so she must have an iron stomach. I smelled biscuits and gravy and found drool falling down my face. Thank God Karen is gone, or I'd hear dog jokes right now. I rolled off of the bed and got up and put it back in the couch and set the seat cushions back in place.

I sat at my dining table and waited patiently for Yvette to finish cooking. "You cooked something great again. I love biscuits and gravy! Oh and you've got hash browns and sausage links too! Alright!" I began to do a stupid victory dance, which caused Yvette to laugh hysterically. I laughed along with her, and helped her set the table. We both sat down, and began to eat. Yvette looked at me with those eyes of love again and I felt my heart race. I cleared my throat with a cough, and Yvette spoke up.

"I know that you said we should get to know each other, and I agree. However, that doesn't mean we can't be in a relationship while we do this. My mom taught me to grab onto the man you want and never let go. That's what I'm doing. I'm not letting go. So, David please take me as your girlfriend. The Luna thing can wait until the future. I know that I don't have much to offer you in regards of my personal worth, but I'll start by looking for a decent job. I took culinary arts classes back in Ireland, so getting a job as a chef shouldn't be too hard for me. Let me do this; and please accept me. I want you and only you."

I sighed in defeat, and finally let my emotions out and replied to her. "I accept you. I'll gladly take you as my girlfriend. As far as being my Luna? If some day we get engaged, I'll do it. I'm a dedicated man, so I can only have one woman in my heart. Let's go with this for now; we're now dating." I smiled warmly at Yvette, but she started giggling. I asked her why she's laughing and she said, "You may only want me, but I promise you that other women shall come. You'll be mobbed by a harem of desperate women. Ha ha ha!" She laughed so hard at the end that tears formed. I felt my jaw drop, because I realized how plausible that future is. Shit.

The two of us enjoyed our time together, and Yvette decided she wanted to go look for a chef position somewhere. I offered to drive her around, but she declined saying that she'd call Karen. And so she did. 20 minutes later Karen showed up and hurried Yvette out the door before giving me a surprised look. Then she smiled and waved bye to me. I was puzzled by her behavior, but oh well what can you do?

I decided to see if the goddess would answer my question about something that's bugging me. 'Hey Goddess, I have a question for you. Are there any other supernatural creatures here on Earth like me?' I recieved an immediate reply.

[Ah my child. I have waited for this question these few days. To answer your question, yes and no. None are even remotely close to your power, however their numbers can't be scoffed at. Vampires, demons, lizardmen, merfolk, and many others. They grew careful over the centuries and have hidden themselves well from modern society. They all have learned some form of polymorph. I believe that answers your question. I must go now love, oh and congratulations with the druids descendant. She's a good girl, cherish her. Good bye for now my child.]

I was flabbergasted, but I knew I shouldn't bug the goddess again today. Still... why does she always call me her child? Well anyway, that's one problem solved. Now I know there's more supernatural creatures out there. I'd best be careful that I don't poke a hornet's nest. As I sat there absorbing the information I just gained, I heard a text come in on my phone.

{Yvette}: Hey
