[ Y - Young Adult: Not suitable for readers under 16 ]

A few days pasted after that, and Fumu found that she didn't have to worry about people caring what who or what she was attracted to. No one wanted to be on the business end of Kirby's inhale, Fumu's hammer, Mable's fists, Meta Knight's sword, or Silica's overpowered gun/ flame thrower/ rocket launcher/ sword so it became a none-issue very quickly. Perm and Memu decided to accept their children as they are when they had them, so it wasn't an issue was with them to start with.

She went about her normal business which was mostly reading, eating, and training now. No demon beasts had turned up there, so things went back to pre-Dedede in the people's general behavior. Fumu didn't know what that was, due to Dedede proclaiming himself King since before she was born.

When Silica was free to go from the doctors' care all she could do was wonder around until she found Fumu reading under a tree, seemingly by herself. "Hey, Fumu", she said walking over to her, back in full health. "Oh, Silica!" Fumu smiled up to her, moving her long bangs out of her face. "Why are you out here alone?" "My out answer is 'Because it's much quieter'. My new answer is 'I'm not alone. sir Meta Knight has been assigned to protect me. It's just very good at staying out of sight'." Silica sat next to her with a surprised look, and let out a little bit of a laugh. "Yeah, I know. My parents think it's a good idea. I stopped caring, though. I train now to become strong on my own." "That's great! that's where it all starts", Silica nodded.

"I'm a little unnerved, though," she said changing the subject. "Why?" "Well, my medical bill?" "What bill?" "Exactly. I didn't get one." "My parents took care of it", Fumu said casually. "Oh. Thank you." "No problem." Fumu closed her book and silica looked out to the lush grassy field. "Hey. What happened to your big space? The one you got from Nightmare's base." Fumu finally asked. "Oh, I don't know a space craft that big. I sacrificed it to kill some demon beasts, and got a much better suited craft for myself. Something that big wasn't even meant to live in." "what do you mean?" Fumu asked. "It looked like it could hold a small plant of being, but it was mostly weaponry. It wasn't fit to live on. The others got rid of their's, too." "Oh, I see. I suppose I can understand that."

"If you're staying for a while, you can stay at our house," Fumu said nicely, and Silica smiled with a light nod. "What about my ship, though?" "The knights have been working out it. They're great with ships, but it will still be a while before it's done." "Oh, wow. This is a handy place I crashed into!" "Yep!" Fumu got on her feet and dusted off her sleeveless full-legged body suit as the warrior got up beside her.

"Hey, mama! Hey, daddy!" she called out when she walked in. She didn't expect them to actually be there to answer. "Hello, Fumu!" her mother called coming down the stairs to her. "Oh, who is this?" Memu asked walking up to them with a smile. "Mom, she's Silica Garlude. The daughter of the Star Warrior, Garlude." Silica bowed to Memu. "It's an honor to meet you, Milady.... Umm... Duchess?" Memu put her hand to her face, with a light blussh. "Yes, something like that. Don't worry about titles. I think Perm is in the kitchen."

The followed Memu into the grand cooking area where Perm indeed was, giving instructions and monitoring the Waddle Dee chefs. "Hey, daddy! Meet Silica!" she called out as she ran up and hugged him. He hugged her back before looking over and smiling to the other young lady. "Hello, Silica! Welcome to our humble home!" "Yeah... 'humble'...." Fumu looked down blushing a little. "I take it this is the set up for the New Years celebration," Fumu said looking at the working cooks. "Yes, dear! We will start celebrating tonight, and it will go on into tomorrow night." "Dear, why don't you show Silica where she'll be sleeping, then show her around?" Memu suggested. Fumu looked down to her and nodded, then lead the silver young lady away by the hand. "Well, she's better than anything Bun will bring home. I'm glad she has some kind of manners", Memu said to her husband. "I'm dreading that stage with Bun," Perm frowned and put his hand of his forehead, but smiled before saying "But, I don't expect anything less from Fumu. Silica is the one that fought Sir Meta Knight for his sword, remember? That says a lot about her in itself."

The knight came on the other side of the hall at the same time as the young ladies. "Hello, Sir Meta Knight and company," Silica said in a pleasant tone. "Hello, Silica. I'm glad you've recovered. Your ship will be fixed in a few more days," came from the lead knight. "Thank you for helping me." "Thank you for helping us defeat Nightmare," came from Sword Knight. "I figure I should take revenge on the right one that was responsible for my mother's death, to be fair", she replied with a smirk. Meta Knight nodded to her, then looked over to Fumu without thinking about it. "By the way, I will be helping Fumu with her training while I'm here!" Fumu looked over to Silica and her unmovable smile. Sword and Blade looked at each other, then turned to Meta Knight. "You're the best person to do it", was all he could find himself to say. "Milord..." Blade Knight started to saying something, but Meta Knight turned and continued walking to there room. "She'll listen to someone she perfers the company of", he said flatly as his eyes glowed forest green.
