Chapter 33 The Orginials

"Master, or is good to see you back so quick. Your Queen was missing you!" Kitsune informed me that she strode over.

"I did not! It was dark, and I, uh, needed him to guide me around! That's it! Haha!" Melody declared, and I groaned.

Come, let's make a hot spring on the top of the tree, my Cuteness Queen," I said with a smile, and she stopped dancing and frowned at me.

"Can you stop saying impossible things like they are nothing?!" Melody complained, and I rolled my eyes.

???????????????? ???????????????????????????? ???????????????????????? ???????????????????? ???????? ????????????????????-????????????.????????????

"Do you mind doing all the rooms and letting the girls know that I am getting the water ready for everyone?" I said to Sofia, and she nodded, lifting into the air, and flying up to the second level.

"She is so pretty and cool! I can't wait to see what the other girl looks like!" Melody exclaimed, and I came up behind her.

With a squeak, I scooped Melody up into my arms. She immediately nuzzled into my chest, and I leaned my head down to kiss her on the cheek.

Once I was up the stairs, I walked forward towards the walk I was facing, but it started to unravel. As it did, a stairway started to build as I walked up to it, rising up into the leaves of the Great Tree.

I didn't really need to do much, and by the time we reached the top of the stairs, there was a streaming pool waiting. We were not quite at the top of the tree, but it was enough to see the city all around us.

"Is all this really real? I mean, everything seems so fantastical, and I find myself getting carried away. The queen thing was a joke to make the girls feel more comfortable, but now they are going along with it!" Melody complained, and I tickled her, causing her to laugh.

"You made your bed. Plus, this has all been more or less your symphony since I asked you to be my girlfriend!" I complained back as I let her down at the edge of the water.

"I couldn't keep you all to myself when I knew the other girls love you just as much as I do! I think that you are going to need all of us in the coming days," Melody said as we got undressed.

Once we were both naked, we slipped into the warm water, both of us letting out tiny shivers. There was a step for us to sit on around the inside of the spring, and I glided over to sit on the far side.

Melody came over and tucked her soft body into mine, and I wrapped my arm around her to bring her body closer to mine. She leaned her head on my shoulder, and the two of us let out a sigh as I closed my eyes.

"You know, with my eyes closed, I can kind of imagine this place as a hotel, and we are going on a vacation. I know it's not, but just for this moment, I want to pretend that it is just you and me, all alone," I said, leaning over to kiss the top of Melody's head.

"You had better enjoy it while it lasts. The rest of the girls are bound to be up here soon, but I really do love how much you care about me. I know that I push the other girls on you, but that's because they all care about you the same way that I do. I guess I have a big and weird heart, but I can't help the way I am!" Melody complained, and I laughed.

There were sounds of talking coming up the stairs, and both I and Melody stopped talking. I had assumed that the girls were going to be louder, but it was only Kaite and Anya.

"Where are all the other women?" Melody asked, but the girls shook their heads as they got undressed.

"They wanted to wait until after Dan was done, and we had some time with him. They said that they would wait," Anya explained, still taking her shirt off, but Kaite was already stripped down and wading into the water.

Kaite was smiling as she came over to sit beside me like she knew something, but I was already pretty sure. This would be about the insane roommate that hoofed me in the nut sack.

"So, I heard that Vicky finally made her move, and you had your hands on her bare chest! Not only that, but you also put Marley over your knee and made her kiss you! You were a busy man! Still, only one of the two seems to like you better!" Katie laughed, and I rolled my eyes.

"You know that she kicked me in the sack right after kissing me, right? I don't get what her problem is! Marley does seem better now, but I can see her slipping back to her stubborn ways!" I growled as Anya came over to kneel before me in the water.

"You will just have to spend some time with them, but I am not sure about Vicky. You beat her in everything before this, and now you are just widening the gap. With Marley, that's fine, she wants you to be better than her at everything, but Victoria is the opposite," Anya explained.

"Oh! So you did that to her! No wonder she was so meek! So cute!" Melody chimed in, and the other girls sighed.

"Well, that just means I need to spend some time with Victoria. I really don't know anything about Vic cause she was always flinging insults at me or challenging me to something stupid! Gah! That woman frustrates me!" I complained, slumping into the water.

"You will figure it out. Now, can you please tell us what happened up to meeting Amy? She told us that you were hit by a truck, but you are still alive. You explained most of it to my grandparents and me, but you left out the part about Amy. She couldn't explain it, so I would like you to so we can understand what happened," Melody said, looking up at me with a more serious look this time.
