"Dr. Shizune, I've been thinking a lot about these coincidences that keep happening around me, and I believe they might be connected to my powers," Orion began, his voice a mix of uncertainty and determination.

Dr. Shizune, intrigued by the idea, leaned forward in her chair. "That's an interesting theory, Orion. Can you give me some examples of when this has happened?"

Closing his eyes, Orion recalled the first time he had noticed the phenomenon. "I was walking with my mother Selene, and a thief was running towards us. When Selene held my hand, a brick fell from a building and hit the thief in the face, knocking him unconscious."

Dr. Shizune scribbled notes as Orion recounted the events. "And has this only happened when you're with people you care about?"

"Well, mostly," Orion replied, thinking back on the recent events he had witnessed on his way to the office. "But I've also seen it happen to strangers."

The doctor looked deep in thought as she considered the information. "There could be a few factors at play here, such as your desire to protect, your proximity to people you care about, or even physical touch. But we'll need more data to narrow it down."

"So, what should I do?" Orion asked, eager to understand his abilities better.

Dr. Shizune looked him in the eye, her voice firm but kind. "I want you to visit me once a week, and whenever something like this happens, try to take note of the circumstances surrounding the event."

"Alright," Orion agreed, feeling a little overwhelmed but determined to make sense of his powers.

As Shizune and Orion tried to test his power, she suddenly leaned forward and kissed his forehead, but nothing happened. She looked at him in disappointment, but then her heel broke and she fell onto Orion, their lips colliding. At that moment, the nurse opened the door, happily jumping and shouting, "Doctor, your article was selected by the magazine and you will be interviewed explicitly. How lucky is that!"

Shizune and Orion exchanged a knowing glance, feeling a bit more sure about his power, but they still decided to wait a little longer. Hugging Orion goodbye a little longer than normal, Shizune sent him off. Whether the hug was longer due to her happiness or perhaps to get more lucky, Orion didn't know, but feeling her bosom on his chest felt good.

Whistling again, he walked back home, this time feeling better as he saw bad things happening to bad people around him. He noticed a man who tried to snatch a purse from a woman, only to stumble and fall, the purse slipping out of his grasp. Another instance was when a group of teenagers were bullying a younger kid, only for a nearby water sprinkler to turn on, drenching them and causing them to scatter in embarrassment.

When he reached home, Aurora and Luna were ready to go. He drank a glass of water, and they left. Hand in hand, they walked to the mall, chatting about their favorite stores and the things they wanted to buy.

"Hey, Orion, do you think we can find those cute matching shirts we saw online?" Luna asked, her eyes twinkling with excitement.

"Of course, Luna," Orion replied. "And I think I saw a store that sells that video game you've been wanting, Aurora."

Aurora grinned. "You're the best, Orion."

As they reached the mall, the girls dragged Orion from shop to shop, showing him at least a thousand different clothes. They tried on cute sundresses, stylish jackets, elegant gowns, and even a few outrageous costumes, laughing and enjoying themselves.

Feeling tired after checking out all the clothes in the giant mall, they decided to watch a movie. They settled on "The Time Traveler's Adventure," an action-packed sci-fi film. With popcorn and drinks in hand, they enjoyed the movie, completely immersed in the thrilling story.

After the movie, they visited the arcade area and played around, competing against each other in various games. Orion noticed that both his sisters seemed to win an unusually high number of games, and he couldn't help but wonder if his power was somehow involved.

As they left the mall, Aurora and Luna were feeling tired. Orion offered to piggyback Aurora, and she gratefully climbed on his back. Luna, however, insisted on being carried like a princess, in his arms. With his sisters comfortably situated, Orion walked back home, chatting with them about the day.

"So, what was your favorite part of the day?" Orion asked as they made their way home.

Aurora, resting her head on his shoulder, replied, "Hmm, I think it was trying on all those clothes with you and Luna. We had so much fun!"

Luna, snuggling against his chest, added, "Yeah, that was great. But I also really loved the movie. It was so exciting!"

As the three siblings walked into the house, they found their mothers, Elara and Selene, sitting on a loveseat in the living room, snuggling affectionately. Elara's strong arms encircled Selene, who leaned into her embrace, a contented smile on her face. The warm, loving atmosphere of the room was almost palpable, and the siblings couldn't help but feel their hearts swell with happiness at the sight.

"Hey, moms," Orion greeted, carefully setting Luna down before helping Aurora off his back. "How was your day?"

Selene, her eyes sparkling with joy, looked up at her children. "Oh, we had the most wonderful time," she gushed, her cheeks flushed with excitement. "Your mother Elara surprised me with a day at the carnival!"

Elara chuckled softly, pressing a tender kiss to Selene's temple. "Well, I figured it was only fair since our kids were out having fun, we should have some fun of our own."

Selene playfully swatted at Elara's arm, grinning broadly. "You know, you didn't have to go to such lengths, but I'm so glad you did. We had such an amazing time together."

The triplets settled down on the couch across from their mothers, eagerly listening as Selene and Elara recounted their day at the carnival.

"I hadn't been on a Ferris wheel in years," Selene admitted, her eyes growing distant as she reminisced. "The view from the top was just breathtaking, and sharing it with Elara made it even more special."

Elara smiled warmly at her partner, her voice filled with affection. "Seeing the joy on your face as we soared high above the ground was worth every moment."

Aurora, her eyes wide with curiosity, leaned forward. "What else did you guys do?"

"Oh, we played all sorts of games," Elara replied, her eyes twinkling with mischief. "I may have won a giant stuffed bear for your mother Selene."

Selene blushed, burying her face in Elara's shoulder. "It was so sweet of her. And, of course, we couldn't resist indulging in some delicious carnival treats."

Luna's eyes lit up at the mention of food. "Ooh, did you have funnel cake? And cotton candy?"

Selene nodded enthusiastically, her eyes shining with delight. "Yes, we did! And we even shared a caramel apple. It was all so delicious and fun."

The conversation continued, with Elara and Selene regaling their children with tales of their laughter-filled day at the carnival. The siblings listened intently, smiling as they imagined their mothers enjoying themselves, hand in hand, amidst the whirling rides and lively atmosphere.

As the evening wore on, the family decided to have dinner together. Elara took charge in the kitchen, preparing a sumptuous feast of grilled chicken, roasted vegetables, and creamy garlic mashed potatoes, while Selene set the table, adding elegant touches like candles and fresh flowers.

Gathering around the table, the family shared the delicious meal, their conversation flowing effortlessly. They laughed and chatted, teasing each other gently and exchanging playful banter.

After dinner, the family moved back to the living room, where they settled in for a quiet night together. Selene and Elara resumed their position on the loveseat, their fingers intertwined and their eyes locked in a tender gaze.

Aurora leaned against Orion, her head resting on his shoulder, while Luna snuggled up to her brother on the other side, her eyes growing heavy with sleep.

As the night wore on, the siblings began to feel the weight of their day's adventures. Yawning, Aurora stretched, rubbing her eyes sleepily. "I think it's time for bed," she murmured, her voice thick with exhaustion.

Luna nodded in agreement, stifling a yawn of her own. "Yeah, I'm beat."

Orion smiled at his sisters, his own eyelids feeling heavy. "Alright, let's get some rest. We've had a long day."

The siblings stood, bidding their mothers goodnight with warm hugs and affectionate kisses on the cheek. Elara and Selene returned the gestures, their eyes filled with love and pride for their children.

"Sleep well, you three," Elara whispered, her voice soft and tender.

Selene smiled, her eyes shining with warmth. "We love you all so much."

With one last wave, the siblings retreated to their bedrooms, leaving their mothers alone in the dimly lit living room.

Elara turned to face Selene, her expression serious but filled with love. "I know I've said it before, but I just want you to know how much I love and appreciate you, Selene."

Selene's eyes filled with tears, her voice thick with emotion. "I love you too, Elara. I'm so grateful for the life we've built together, and for our beautiful children."

Elara cupped Selene's face in her hands, her thumbs gently brushing away the tears that had spilled onto her cheeks. Leaning in, she pressed a slow, lingering kiss to Selene's lips, pouring all her love and adoration into the tender gesture.

When they finally pulled apart, Selene whispered against Elara's lips, her voice barely audible. "Let's go to bed, my love."

Hand in hand, Elara and Selene made their way to their bedroom, their hearts full of love and contentment. The day had been filled with joy, laughter, and the warmth of family, a testament to the strong bond that united them all.

As they lay in each other's arms, drifting off to sleep, the house was filled with a sense of peace and contentment, the echoes of their love and laughter lingering in the air.
