"Now, you said something about an invasion?"

I took a deep breath. So far, this day just kept getting better and better. 

I was still glad about the party though.

"Yes, the aliens will strike in a matter of months. A messenger from Neil arrived at the academy today and I heard everything from the headmaster." There was no harm in telling the people here. I trusted every single one of them. 

"That idiot!" Grandma fumed. 

"I'm not following this." Mom raised her hand like a kid. I guess this ran in the family. 

I also saw Elsa staring at us from across the room, while sipping her juice. Strangely, uncle Excrucio and his wife hadn't left. This was rare. 

But that was all of us. And this is why I had the guts to say everything. 

"Basically, you know your mom wasn't from this world, right?" Grandma said, looking at mom. 

So, I guess this wasn't that much of a secret, assuming she could say that in front of uncle and the rest of us.

Come to think of it, Elsa didn't know, right? I gave her a side glance and well, she just kept on sipping her juice, not a care in the world. 

Well, she didn't care about where mom's mom came from. Or the fact that she even had a mom other than Grandma. Seriously, why the hell wasn't she surprised?

"But you are my mom!" Mom fired back.

'Well, this is going to take a while.'

 Grandma rolled her eyes but her expression softened. "Anyway, your father was also not from this world. Originally he came from the future, with that wen- ahem! Your mother."

I had a feeling this woman did not like mom's real mom. Yeah, it didn't take a genius to figure out why. 

Again, I took a look at Elsa and she still didn't show any sign of surprise. 'Is it possible that moron already knew?'

The only people who were surprised were Marg and mom. 

Judging from what the headmaster said and the evidence shown so far, gramps already knew mom's real mom before coming to this world- as she was the reason, they could come to this world in the first place. And later, gramps met my grandmother, and then- things got complicated and mom's mom died.

Yeah, even I was confusing myself with the who was what with the what. 

"Anyway, what is important, is that there was a reason why your father came back from the future and for that reason, your mother had to die." Grandma took a deep breath, turning to me. "You're sure, the girl is from Neil? But isn't it too soon?" She wondered aloud. 

According to the timeline of gramps, Neil wasn't attacked, or at least not in the next three centuries but as they came back in time and stopped the invasion from taking its root, things had changed. 

"Neil is already under attack," Enira said. 

Grandma looked a tad surprised for a brief second and then composed herself. "In that case, this is very bad. We're not ready."

"I'm still not following anything. What are these aliens you speak of?" Mom again asked. She looked very stressed, to say the least. 

"Aliens, at least that's what your father called them: He never really gave me a name. They are humanoid in form but their technology is far greater than ours. They too have powers like we do, but- the most troublesome thing about them is their ability to create bioweapons- or so your father had told me. The man was really tight-lipped, so he never really said much. And he wanted to forget the future and not have our family involved with the aliens." For a second, grandma almost smiled in nostalgia but a second later it faded as her face clouded. "And he's gone."

I knew it was my fault but- "But we are still alive and we have to make sure that we keep living. We don't have much time and-"

Knock! Knock!

Our long-awaited guests had arrived.

And I was glad we were interrupted now, cause I was about to say some rather stupid things. 

The bunny maid opened the door and two girls came inside- one was freezing- or rather just shivering while the other looked fine. 

"I d-didn't know it was that cold!" Raea shivered way too much. "And what's with the sudden call! I thought you were in trouble or something."

Call?

I looked at Enira and she just smiled. 

Yeah, I didn't want to even start that conversation. 

We welcomed them in and Raea covered herself with a blanket of sorts and went to the corner, sitting with Elsa.

Meanwhile, I brought the girl from another world- what was her name again- in front of grandma. "Now-" I started. "WE have seven months. I have the tea party with the Battlesuins tomorrow and if everything works out, I'd like to get married to Marg next month." It was a mouthful to say, but I'd made up my mind. 

Marg covered her mouth and looked glad. And here I thought she wasn't going to show any emotions in front of other people. Then again, she did conceal her emotions pretty well a second later. 

Grandma sniffed this girl too… did she have a fetish or something? "Yes, she certainly is from Neil."

"And you're that confident because?" Elsa asked, across the room. "Do you really think you can take on them alone and come back unscathed?" I guess she was talking to me.

"We'll first hear them out and try to see where they are coming from. We have ways to beat or rather trap Hyora but- yeah, I'm confident because, I want to believe this will go okay. After all, if it doesn't, I wouldn't be coming back, right?" I smiled. "And what kind of idiot makes a plan where he doesn't come back safely?"

I saw a lot of eyes rolling. Yeah, that joke didn't fly. 

"Well, I'm free," Uncle said. He was just having some cupcakes but he finally headed our way. 

"I'm not working right now, so I guess I can take a whole day off." Mom smiled as she fixed her hair.

Grandma looked at her kids and- "I guess I can tag along too. I'm too bored these days anyway." She cracked her knuckles. "Blowing up a city or two might ease the boredom."

Huh?

'Well, they're villains alright.'

But wasn't this supposed to be-?

Mom put a hand on my shoulder. "You thought I'd send my one and only son to that place and not make sure everything works out okay, did you?"

So much for having faith in me.

"Come on people! It's not like I'm going to die or something!" Because I seriously didn't want to. And besides, alone, I was fully capable of wiping out people, and Enira lately, had gotten fairly strong. "And didn't I want to do this alone?"

"But sweetheart-" Grandma grabbed my hand. "You're not alone."

Well, that sure shut me up. And I did not expect that from her at least. 

And that was probably the nicest thing she said to me in like ten years. 

"I know, I know. But that's why I'm doing this to prove-" To prove what exactly?

Why did I want to do this alone again?

Because I got selfish and chose Marg?

Because I fell in love with her?

Because I wanted to take responsibility for my actions?

Because I wanted to pretend, I'd grown up and didn't need anyone's help?

Really, why did I want to do this?

"Look," Auntie came close. "I'm not good with words but, it's our job as your elders to make sure your future's bright. It's fine if you think you can do this alone, actually, I think you can. But- as a family it's our job to look after you, to look after each other. That's what families are for."

That was probably the longest sentence she ever said to me. 

"Your path is yours to choose," Uncle said. "But let us protect you. Think of it as a present to your unborn kid," he winked with a grin. 

Seriously, what was up with this day! 

So many firsts were happening!

And I was kind of getting scared of all this. 

Finally, Marg came and stood in front of me. "We're in this together. How could I just stay behind and ask you to do everything?" She proceeded to hug me. "I love you and as your wife, I'll bear all your responsibilities alongside you."

And she didn't even say, FUTURE!

Sigh. 

Looks like there was no way out of this one.

Sigh, indeed. 

But, it wasn't a lie to say, I was glad.
