Not long after leaving Starlight Adventure Park, the small family watched as the sun started set over the water's edge in the distance, dying the once blue waters with shades of red, orange, yellow and even some bits of pink and purple.
Airis snuggled with her father and mother, watching the sun set as it reminded her of her home back in the mountains. But in her opinion, this view was just as beautiful if not even more beautiful.
"You know, at night they dimmed the lights here, so that when guest look up they can see the stars better." Aaron said.
"I've always enjoyed stargazing." Aphmau smiled, "Especially looking up at the moon."
"Same."
"I like the moon, too." Airis said, "Mama used to say that the moon was like a beacon in the darkness leading us to where we needed to be. Or that it's like a guardian that watches over us as we sleep to keep nasty monsters away from us."
Aphmau chuckled, "Then I guess the moon was really watching over me and Aaron years ago."
"What do you mean, Aph?" Aaron asked.
"Remember? The full moon was out the night you asked me to go to prom with you."
Aaron's face turned bright red, "Oh, that's right... I"
"Prom?" Airis repeated, but before they could explain what it was, Aphmau's phone went off.
"Hmm, Zane?" Aphmau wondered aloud.
"You should answer it." Aaron said, "Maybe we left something."
"Maybe." Aphmau answered the call, "Hello?"
"WHERE ARE YOU?!" Zane shouted, the shout was loud enough for even Aaron and Airis to hear through the phone.
"Ow! I think he busted my eardrum." Aphmau cried.
"Same, I heard it from here and my ears hurt."
"Mama, calm Uncle Zane down." Airis said covered her already sensitive werewolf ears.
"Zane, are you okay?" Aphmau asked.
"No I'm not okay! I'm about to have a panic attack because of what just happened."
"Zane, calm down. Tell me what happened."
"I. Kissed. Kawaii~Chan." Zane said, but Aphmau laughed.
"I'm sorry... what?"
"No laughing!"
"I'm sorry, it's just, I could've sworn you said that you kissed Kawaii~Chan." Aphmau said with Aaron chuckling in the background. Airis on the other hand, was smiling with pride, knowing that the two were finally starting to realize a few things.
"I did!" Zane answered.
"You're serious?"
"I. Did."
Aphmau's eyes widened, "You are serious."
"What?" Aaron questioned.
"I. Kissed. Kawaii~Chan."
"Were you asleep?"
"I'm so embarrassed I wish I was!"
"Wait, what's going on?" Aaron asked.
"Zane said that he kissed Kawaii~Chan. Like, on the lips?"
"No, on the butt. WHAT DO YOU THINK?!"
"I don't know, I don't judge. Look, Zane, I just... I just can't... Give me a minute." Aphmau put the phone down and took a deep breath.
"Mama, what's going on?" Airis asked, "Did Uncle Zane and Auntie Kawaii~Chan really kiss?
