Kiara pov: Calli got home and immediately woke Kobo and Clara up. I sighed as soon as I heard them start to make noise since it had only been a few minutes since they fell asleep.
"Auntie Bae!" Clara and Kobo shouted, so I knew Calli had managed to collect Bae, and whether or not it was against her will or not would be determined soon.
"I'm home, Wawa!" Calli sang as I exited our room.
"I'm aware," I said.
"Hi Kiara," Bae said quietly.
"How are you?" Irys asked
"I'm fine," I stated. Irys nodded and gave me a thumbs up.
"By the way I ran into Mumei," Calli said.
"Oh, is she happy?" I asked
"Yes, she really is acting out of character," Calli said.
"Not really," I said.
Calli looked at me, tilting her head, and asked me what I was talking about.
"I want to see Auntie Mumei!" Clara said
"Later, we need to go see your grandma now," I said.
"O-oh okay!" Clara said she seemed thrown off by this and somewhat nervous; after all, this would be the first time she and Kobo met Mama Mori.
"Get ready," Calli said.
"Yes Dad!" Kobo and Clara said as they were dismissed to their rooms.
"Do they call you dad?" Irys said she was confused.
"Yeah why?" I questioned
"It's just that I didn't know you were into that," Irys said.
"Into what!?" Calli asked frantically.
"You know being called Daddy," Irys chuckled.
"I am going to kill you...." Calli hissed
I reached for a spray bottle and yanked it out, spraying Calli with it like an animal I was training.
"Calli...." I growled
"What I seriously want to do is use Ricky and cut her head off right now!" Calli said
I took the bottle and sprayed her again, giving her a stern look that made her shudder.
"Look Wawa, I'm sorry, but I need to say that word sometimes," Calli said.
"Not in front of me!" I said
"Yes, I understand!" Calli obediently said
"Good!" I said, letting out a chuckle that was somewhat sadistic.
"I think you spend too much time around Mumei," Bae said.
"You are on that laugh?" Irys said
"What are you stuck on?" Bae asked
"Kiara has completely tamed Calli like the hell." Irys said
"We don't swear here." I said as I pointed the bottle at Irys.
"Uhm, I'm sorry!" Irys said
"You're a softie, Calli," Bae giggled.
"No, I am not!" Calli cried
"Yes, you are darling!" I cooed as I walked up to her and hugged her, kissing her on the cheek softly.
"Ugh... Wawa what!?" Calli said in shock and embarrassment as her face turned red when she grew more flustered.
"What are you embarrassed about?" I asked
"You kissed me in front of Bae and Irys!" Calli yelled
"We literally kissed in front of them like three or four days ago," I said.
"Holy shit, I keep forgetting it's only been that long!" Calli said
I glared at Calli and sprayed her once again, this time for swearing. I looked at Bae, who looked like she was pondering something.
"It has only been like three or four days!" Bae said in shock
"Yeah, it's been August for an eternity," Irys said.
"Nope, according to Kobo, it's December now," I said.
"But it's not..." Irys said she was kind of afraid of something.
"Awww, how cute that you're worried that Santa is going to come for you." I laughed
"Santa is a demon. We need to kill him before he enslaves us all!" Irys hissed and hid herself a bit.
"This is almost as ridiculous as Mumei's printet fear," Calli says.
"Okay, she isn't afraid of printers, she just hates them," Bae said, defending her.
"But why does she hate them?" Irys asked
"Are we really going to tell the story of why Mumei hates printers?" Irys sighed
"No...." I said I was wondering why the hell we would do that.
"Mommy, we are having trouble packing!" Clara and Kobo yelled
"Calli, go help them," I said.
"You know they don't want me to help them..." Calli said.
"Eh?" I said.
"You should go help them," Calli said.
"But I don't want to," I said.
"I don't want to do it either!" I said
"Well, that's the dilemma," Bae and Irys said.
"Not really, Calli shouldn't be stubborn," I said.
"I'm stubborn, and you're stubborn!" Calli said
"You're lying; you are the most stubborn girl I know, and I'm meaning that as a good thing!" I said
"Wait, do you really mean that?" Calli said it lovingly.
"Yes, I do," I said.
"I want to puke," Bae said.
"Same, but only when I look at you," Irys laughed.
Bae glared at her and began to hit her rapidly, trying to get her to take it back.
"Are you two really in love, or are you faking it?" I asked
"That is a wonderful question, and I'll answer that for you," Irys said.
"And?" I said.
"And what?" Irys said
"What is the answer?" I asked
"The answer?" Irys said in confusion:
"Isn't that a story in persona 3?" Calli said
"Calli, go help Kobo and Clara...." I sighed
"Make me!" Calli said
I pointed the spray bottle at her, and she immediately turned and began walking to their room.
"There we go!" I laughed
"You really tamed Calli well, how?" Irys asked
"Oh, I'm not telling you until you tell me if you and Bae are actually in love yet," I said.
"Well, you see, Irys and I are..." Bae paused and shook her head.
"Yeah, I agree with what Bae just said!" Irys cheerfully stated
"Are you two okay in the head?" I asked
"Of course we are!" They both said it in unison.
"Are you really sure?" I asked
"Yes!" They spoke in unison once again.
"Are you going to talk in sentences from now on?" I asked
"Maybe!" They spoke in unison.
I was really excited to figure this out, but first I need to go help Calli with Kobo and Clara.
