The Glyph Monado

Ch. 18: The Triplet Family

Boscha was woken up by the sound of a camera flash and saw her parents.

"What are you doing!?" She loudly whispered.

"Don't worry honey, we just thought you three looked cute together." Her mom said.

"GET OUT." She loudly whispered through her teeth.

"Now honey, there's nothing wrong with your parents meeting your little friends." Her dad said.

Boscha looked away.

"They're more than friends."

"More than friends?" Her mom asked before she gasped, understanding the phrasing, "We're sorry, honey. we didn't know."

Boscha's mom pulled her husband out of the room. The second the door closed, Amity started to wake up.

"What was that?" She asked, rubbing her eyes.

"Nothing. Let's just say, we need to introduce you and Luz to my parents."

Boscha wrapped her arms around Amity and nuzzled into her neck.

"Want to go back to sleep?"

"Mmmm, yeah." Amity said as she laid back down, pulled Luz and Boscha closer.

An hour later, the three of them woke up.

"Well, I guess I should introduce you two to my parents."

"Already?" Luz said in surprise.

"Trust me, there's a reason for it."

After the three girls got out of Boscha's bed and straighten themselves up, Boscha lead them out of her room to the den where her parents were going about their days.

"Mom, dad, I want you to meet Amity and Luz. My girlfriends."

Amity gave a nod to them, having met the Triplet parents before as Luz waved nervously at them.

They walked over to the trio.

"It's a pleasure to formally meet our daughter's girlfriends." Her mom said.

"You got lucky with this one Boscha, not many people are able to find two beautiful girls." Her dad said.

'Well, he likes us. So far, so good.' Luz thought as she became less nervous.

The matriarch Triplet saw something around Luz's neck and looked a bit closer to her, gaining a better image of it before she gasped at it.

"Is that...the Monado?!" She said aloud.

Luz covered her neck.

"T-t-the what?" Luz asked, "I-I-I've never heard of that!"

"You haven't heard the legend?" Boscha's dad asked her.

"N-n-no." Luz said, sweating a bit.

'I can't lie at to save my life.' Luz thought!

"Luz, was it? I know this may be sudden but do not lie to us. Boscha isn't the only one that studied my great-great-great grandfather's journal." Boscha's dad said as he leaned closer, gazing at the necklace. "Though it never said the Monado could change into jewelry."

Luz took it off and turned it into the sword.

"I don't know how it does that either, but it does."

'Magic obviously.' They all thought as Mr. and Mrs. Triplet looked over the sword in awe.

Finding the blade so much more impressive than the notes said it was.

"Incredible, don't you think Elizabeth?" Mr. Triplet said.

"It's amazing, Mavic." Elizabeth said, "Boscha, I think we should learn more about your girlfriends over dinner."

Luz let out a small meep, not expecting her plan to spiral into this. She just wanted Amity and Boscha to get along so the three of them could date peacefully but she didn't expect two major stages to hit her like a brick house! Meeting the parents and having dinner with them! Yet they haven't even had their first date yet!

"You can relax Luz." Elizabeth said, "we don't bite."

"You don't have to assume we're the strict kind of parents but we can be flexible and approachable if you be honest with us." Mavic said with a nod to Luz.

"O-Okay. Sorry for assuming." Luz said to them.

"Now, why don't you tell us how you found it. I searched but could never find it."

"Gladly but it was mostly Boscha that found the cave it was hidden in. I just had the right tools." Luz said.

"Hey, don't be modest, without you, we never would've found it." Boscha said, "Besides, you're the only one that can even lift it, so it wouldn't move anyway."

"Oh stop." Luz said with a blush.

"Please. Before both of you get big heads." Amity said with a smirk.

"Oh, like you're one to talk, Amity." Boscha said with a smile, playfully pushing Amity a bit. "How about we sit down and talk some more?"

Luz took one of Boscha's hands and Amity grabbed the other. Elizabeth and Mavic smile, it was nice to see Boscha happy by something other than Grudgby.

"Maybe she'll stop being a bully now."

"I was not a bully. I was just asserting-"

"You were a bully." Luz and Amity said, cutting Boscha off.

"See? Your girlfriends agree." Elizabeth said with a giggle.

"Traitors!" Boscha said.

Luz and Amity giggled.
