As the Girls play in the pool, some swimming around. A pair of hands touch your bottom half.
"Owner~ do you like my massage~?" a female voice whispers.
"I do, but not out here... please." you struggle to say.
"Alright~, what are you going to do today?" Katie says.
Falling victim to the possibilities for today's events, you've decided on one.
"I'll be working on the truck, we need to expand on Deiya's surrounding. Then we can strike NATO out of the Country." you tell her determined.
"Alright Owner... Oh! One more thing. Now that we have mated, I and my Sis think it's time to stop calling you Owner and Master." Katie says.
"Fair by me, what then?" you ask.
The Water sends a few waves your way, it's Kate.
"We're thinking of just calling you Dan from now on, can we?" Kate asks, shyly.
"You don't have to ask me if you can. Didn't I tell you, when we first met, that you can call me anything." you tell them.
They turn around, facing their back towards the emerging sun. Exposing their backsides for you.
"Do you like the view?" Katie asks with an innocent face.
"I-I do, of course. Being surrounded by my Foxes is the best." you tell them, looking at the sky.
The Foxes let out a giggle, enjoying your struggle.
While everyone is having fun, you've announced your actions to everyone. They agreed and stayed in the pool for a little longer. Now, it's time for you to get to work.
The Truck you've brought back recently has quite a few quirks. Together with a now-dead Engine, the Truck needs a general overhaul.
Examining it further reveals the Transmission has broken down as well. With every passing minute of the examination, the situation becomes grimmer.
"Hey Dan, what are you doing?" a familiar voice asks.
"Agh... slowly giving up hope." you tell, emerging from underneath the truck.
"Wow! You two look beautiful!" you gaze upon your Foxes wearing skirts, summer-themed ones at that and a jacket each.
"We thought you might like it! We're very happy you do." Kate adds.
Another trait of having Hershall Foxes as your Girlfriends is that they will most of the times wear clothes that will boost their Lovers spirits.
"We found these in our Bedroom. Are we dressed to your liking?" Katie asks.
"Well, slap me and call me stupid 'cause you two look fresh as a Sunflower!" you've challenged your Foxes.
" *slap* Dan, you're a dummy." Katie says.
"I didn't mean it... but I like your strength." you add.
Tracing the very recent events, the dawn of Summer, them dressing in these skirts. What lies next, is a date.
"Blast it... fuck this truck, I'll take you two out right now!" you excitedly say.
The Foxes grab your arms before you can escape,
"Nope, you'll finish your work here. If you can finish it." Kate says.
"Alright, you two. I don't know what went through my head. I usually finish my work..." you mumble.
"It's fine Dan, you just want to make us happy." Katie says with a bright smile.
"Also, Dan can you tell us... about your Past more, please?" Kate adds.
It's a given that once you get closer with someone you love, you'd want to know more about them. Even if it might hurt them deeply.
"Sure, I'll take a break then." you say, setting aside your Work.
The Foxes have found their way to the town's Car Workshop, not too hard to find. You take a seat and crack open a beer.
"So, what you want to know?" you ask them.
"Your worst childhood memory." Katie doesn't hesitate to ask.
"That would be being kept in a forsaken hospital for no reason..." you begin to tell the tale.
It was close to Christmas, a few days only. It was a harsh winter for your lungs, having asthma, the sharp blade-like wind blowing in your face, feeling like it could cut you to shreds and second. One morning, you catch a cold. A severe one at that, you brought into the Hospital by your Parents. Soon after you've been put in a Saloon. It's a 1 person one at that, so peace and quiet are guaranteed. Your parent's not changing their expression, as if it's your fault you caught a cold. With sleepless night coming into the double digits, it is likely that your body is at its end.
The Parents that hate, and consider your mistake, have left for work. Leaving you into the care of the Hospital, was a good one. Around the late afternoon, into the early evening even. Your strength dwindled, a few nurses rush to your side. Panicking, not knowing what is happening, the machines are going crazy. Your vision darkening with the second, you shed a tear that your dreams will never become reality if this is the end.
Closing your eyes, a white room is presented to you. A skeletal figure with a scythe is staring at you, not uttering a word.
"Is it my time? I didn't even get to see my children grow up. Nor did I make a family, make someone happy." you usher to the Skeleton.
"Thy time is not now, you've been treated like a mistake, but chose to treat the person you love as you've never been. Thus you're not done for yet... I trust you won't fail...." the figure says.
"But why am I here? If I am going to die then at least tell me if anyone has loved me in this fucking life.." you mumble, powerless.
"Quite soon, you'll meet those who will love you even beyond the grave. Until then, sharpen your skills in keeping them safe. As the world will try and rip them from you. You've been sentenced to an early death, but I see no reason to complete it. Thus, leave this Room and become the Husband and Lover you're mean to be. And shake the world to its core, let nothing tell you who you are!" the Reaper points at a door, staring you off.
Snapping back to reality, after staring at the ground for so long. The Foxes are trembling with tears falling down their Faces. You rush over to their side, spilling your beer.
"Hey hey, it's fine. It happened, don't cry you two. There no point in crying for what happened years ago." you try to comfort them,
"We're sorry Dan, it's wonderful that you came back from the Dead. Theses are just tears of happiness, not of fear or sadness." Kate says.
"In Foxlore, the one that comes back from the Dead is destinated to be the perfect Husband for a pair of Empresses." Katie adds.
"Why is that?" you ask them.
"When Empresses are born, a Human with a bright heart is chosen by destiny to be their Husband. But for that, he will be highly tested." Kate adds both Sisters start to smile.
"Do you mean... I passed... that tests?" you struggle.
"You did Dan. That is why we want to make you happy, for as long as we three live together on this world. You'll be happy because of us, and we'll be happy because of you." Katie adds, planting a kiss on your forehead.
"Dan, you'll be our Husband. Nobody will hurt you again, promised." Kate says, planting another kiss on your forehead.
After the Foxes have calmed down and are back to normal. You give the Truck a final inspection, this one will decide if it is worth it or not. For the upcoming mission.
Katya has sent you a message, it mentions her Husband's inability to personally hand you the reward of your promotion. Hence he will send it with a Supply Package next week, but only she can open the crate the Rewards are in.
This puts a smile on your face, back to work.
The conclusion of the Inspection on the old Truck, Transmission and Engine are broken. The Chassis of the Truck is rusted and even has holes in it.
In the end, you'll be pumping more money into it, then you're going to get out of it. A clear no-go.
"Girls, mind if I take you on a date next week? Got a surprise for you two as well." you ask them.
"Sure Dan, we don't mind under one condition. You'll take a walk with us around town this evening." they set the demand.
"Understood, this old cluster of problems won't be moving any time soon. Except into the Scrapyard. Sorry old fellow." you speak to the old machine.
The Day goes on, you've finished your Work. Time to take care of your family, keep them happy and safe with everything you've got. And with what you will have in the near future.
