Harem In The Intergalactic Apocalypse

"Something comfy. Vic's parents are really chill, and they smoke half the stuff they grow, so sweats, T-shirt, and a hoodie," I said, and Amy laughed.

"You and my parents are the biggest slackers! They never got anything done when you came over!" Victoria growled at me, and that was true.

"That was because you made me do everything to help you! I happened to like your parents, but you always would drag me away to order me around!" I retorted.

"What else did I ask for you to come over for?! They already like you enough!" Victoria shouted and then turned away from me.

Amy came over with a cute and knowing smile and kissed me before dragging her fingers down my chest. A plained light green hoodie with a white shirt appeared, and tan sweats.

"Make sure to find some good fruits and veggies! Strawberries are good, but we will need more," Amy told me, and I nodded, kissing her back.

She looked so pretty, but I needed to focus on the other one right now. Victoria still seemed to be bothered, but our memories were fun ones.

"Let's go, Vic. Unless you want to change before we go?" I asked, but Victoria shook her head.

"No, I am ready to go," she said and headed out of the room fast without me.

"She seems like a tough shell to crack, but there are some starting to form, I think," Amy said to me with a smile, and I nodded.

"Slowly, but make sure you go soak. The pool will make you feel much better," I said and pulled her into another kiss, and she returned it.

I turned from Amy and headed out of the room to go find where my curmudgeon went.

"Psst!" Melody said as I passed her room, and she yoinked me inside.

"Hello! You know, you can just invite me in, right? What did you want, cuteness!" I asked, and she smiled at me.

"Nothing, just wanted to steal a kiss and say you are doing a great job!" Melody said and pulled me by the hoodie into a kiss.

Then she removed my hoodie in the same motion.

"Hey! I just got that! Get Amy to make you one!" I growled, but Melody jumped back like a cat and hissed at me.

"Mine! They are always better after you wear them!" Melody said as she slipped the hoodie over her head.

It almost went down to her knees, and she looked cute in it, so I could hardly deny her. I didn't really need it, but it was more of a comfort thing.

"Fine, you win this time, cuteness, but I will be on guard for you next time. Now, where did the curmudgeon go?" I asked.

"Probably down by the elevator. I can assure you that she will not get flung out of the tree!" Melody laughed, and I laughed back and then made a serious face.

"She will learn to fly."

"That is your funeral."

"It will take too long, but we will take the easy way back. Best I can do for her," I said with a shrug, and Melody laughed again.

"You really never change, do you? Everyone gets the same amount of pushing room, but there are some things that you just don't budge on!" Melody said with a smile, and I grinned back.

"Yeah, I can think of someone else who is quite similar and has never changed since I met her. That's why I can't ever stop loving you as much as I do; you refuse to change, so you are stuck with me!"

"Could be worse," Melody said, and I left the room with her grinning at me.

I headed back down the hall, and sure enough, Victoria was waiting by the elevator, but she was glaring at the whole that was open on the south. I headed down to the first floor, and she turned around to face me.

"I know the tree is hot but is that hole in the wall necessary?!" Victoria complained.

"Nope, but it will close after we are gone," I said as I walked over to her, and Victoria started to back away from me.

"Wait! I am not like the other crazy girls! I hate heights! Please, Daniel, don't do this!" Victoria pleaded as I scooped her up.

"Stop fighting, and put your head into my chest. Close your eyes, and I will tell you when you open them," I explained, and Victoria slowed down some.

"Promise? I really don't like heights, and I am terrified right now!" Victoria said with a shaking voice.

"As long as you are in my arms, nothing can hurt you, I promise. I will always keep you safe and out of danger to the best of my abilities," I told her, and Victoria turned her red face into my chest, closing her eyes.

"Shut up, idiot. I only asked for a promise. You don't have to say all the other dumb mushy things!" Victoria said, but I could see a slight smile on her face.

I ran to the edge and aimed southeast to the far edge of the city, and I was wrapped in roots. We were lifted out into the air, and then the tree flung us.

For the rise up to my arch, Vitoria was quiet. Then when our climb up stopped, she opened her eyes.

"Oh my god, Daniel! Oh god! We are going to die! I should have never listened to you!" Victoria cried in pure terror, but I silenced her with a long kiss.

She fought me for a moment, but then she returned the kiss with surprising passion.

The ground came fast, and then impact cracked the ground, but I took no damage. My feet did tingle, but I had absorbed most of the shock.

Vitoria and I still kissed, so I summoned grass to push us along the rest of the two blocks. We had gotten close, but this was a long toss without throwing me like a missile.

"Daniel and my little girl?! Am I hallucinating? Helen! Are you seeing this miracle?" A familiar voice asked, and Victoria turned to stone in my arms, freezing mid-kiss.
