When the trio arrived at the gates of the family home, Christian said, "Here's some money for your trouble. I hope we didn't 'defile' your well sculpted form." He handed the Queen P550, but she dismissed it, saying, "You two barely made a dent! Besides, ever since I gave birth to those two, I tend to produce and lay insect eggs less and less. All I contribute to the society of insects were just ants, termites, and, rarely, cockroaches anyway. Other breeders can contribute much more species."

Jessicca rang the doorbell, and Benedict's voice replied, "Who is it?"

"It's Jessicca and Seiryu! We have the fresh grad with us!" Seiryu exclaimed.

Benedict went out of the front door, headed down the stairs, and opened the gate. He saw the three of them and exclaimed, "Finally! Our boi has now passed college life! We have something for you inside. Come in!"

...

The quadro went inside the front door to the quiet receiving area when suddenly---

"CONGRATULATIONS!"

Quilleanna, Jannassis, Ian, Denise, Mauvorin, and Quvarranna, the Quvarranna, appeared from behind the sofas and ran towards him. Christian also ran towards them, and they hugged each other tightly.

"Quill, Jannassis, brother, sister, Mauvorin, how nice to see you again!" Christian exclaimed, "Sorry I missed your graduation. I mean, I was there too, getting my first degree, but I didn't see you."

"We did see you, however," Quilleanna replied, "but you were too far away, and we had to get home immediately after that occasion."

"Oh, then congratulations to you too," Christian replied.

"Thank you!" Mauvorin replied, "And by the way, you know who's here beside me!"

Christian then looked at Quvarranna, still strikingly beautiful and stunning as ever, and she looked at him with a smile brighter than the stars above.

"Quvarranna!" he exclaimed, putting a hand to his head, "You're here. In the Mansion. Out of the forest."

"I know, right?" Varrah exclaimed as well, "Ovira and the Deity Council have given me and all succeeding QPs leeway. We're free now to go outside the forest, but we can visit our sisters once in a while."

"That's great!" Christian said, spreading his arms wide open. The breeder jumped a little as she went into his arms; he ended up hugging her six long legs and the first few feet of her soft, white abdomen which still carried lots of eggs and seeds of insects of different kinds.

...

The ten all headed toward the TV area and sat down; Christian and Quvarranna were beside each other, of course, and he wrapped her arm around her back while she stretched her arms and legs.

"How's the others so far?" Christian asked.

"Okay," Quilleanna replied, "First off, Alexander and Gwendolyn have gone back to heaven."

"They died again?!" Christian asked.

"No, just called back up by the deities," Ben replied.

"Anyway, " Quilleanna continued, "Vyrhihyannah and Mozart are engaged but still deejaying, gaming, and offering fan service. Nosci is taking care of his and Seiryu's children. Finally, Marionne---"

"Oh, that fox centauride," Quvarranna cut in, "Why haven't you told me about her?!" She assumed a pouty face while pointing a finger at him

Christian was silent. "Aww, never mind that. I was just kidding," Quvarranna replied, "Quill backed you up, fortunately, you should thank her for it!"

"Okay now, half-sis," Quilleanna replied, "Anyway, Marionne's still deejaying, but she's become lesbian."

"Ouch!" Jessicca remarked, shaking her left hand as if it punched a very hard brick.

"Who's the lucky girl?" Christian asked.

"A gamer breeder called Park," Jannassis replied, "Top half looks exactly like D.Va from some human city in an island country north-northeast of Valoran, lower half looks exactly like Seiryu's, except it's seven yards long."

"Mozart's ex before he met Vyrhihyannah," Quilleanna added, "Vyrh's cool with her. In fact, the four of them did a photoshoot for an issue of The Sutra magazine. Close together. In the nude. Proclaimed sexiest deejays alive."

"FYI, she has a terrible case of diarrhoea," Mauvorin added, "That's why she sometimes speaks incoherently and breathes heavily while gaming in all her videos, but she is competing well with Vyrh and Mo."

"What's her music style as a DJ?" Christian asked.

"Dubstep, drum and bass, future bass, house, and trap," Quvarranna replied, "The party types."

"Oh, and one more thing," Ian said, "Quvarranna just earned a degree from our school, honoris causa."

"No way!" Christian exclaimed.

"Yes way!" Quvarranna replied, "In environmental science along with Seiryu and Nosci two years ago."

"We gave speeches at some place called Leong Hall on environmental concerns and interspecies hybrid awareness," Seiryu replied, "Of course, we had to explain it to Varrah in simpler languages."

"But I understand perfectly what you've said, Sei," Varrah replied, "I'm not stupid. I gave the audience a background of the Natura, of the flora and fauna of our homeworld, and of the different environmentalists around our globe."

"Mostly on the Natura," Seiryu replied.

"Because we are natural environmentalists," Quvarranna replied.

"Based on everything you told me, I say you guys did a lot!" Christian replied, "I was busy studying for five years."

"Yet some of your writings have appeared in the collegiate folios," Denise replied, "even an entire free verse poem dedicated to Varrah, although you did not explicitly state it."

"I figured it out while I was reading it, " Quvarranna replied, "Every line began with a letter of my name and then in reverse! Even the verses were touching." She shed a tear as he hugged her again.

"Yieee!" Ben giggled.

"You too, no?!" Christian replied.
