After kissing Amy goodbye, I opened a hole in the side of the house and leaped out. My wings burst from my back and caught the wind as I glided over to Anya''s tree.


    I could sense that she was in her room reading something, so I flew up to the top of the tree where Anya''s tree house was located. I glided down until I reached one of the top entrances, but I noticed that the ce had be moreplex and twisted.


    "Daniel?" Anya called from below.


    "Did you expect anyone else to be flying in?" I asked with augh as I walked inside and down some winding stairs to Anya''s room.


    She was sitting curled up in a pile of throw pillows on a massive swinging chair that rocked gently. Anya sat up, but I waved for her toy back down as I walked over and crawled on.


    "I thought it was you, but you can never be too safe when there are Viins in the world, right?" Anya asked, and I nodded.


    "That is true and a fair point, but we will get a warning if the Viins get anywhere near us," I exined as I cuddled up with her. "No need to get up. I am here to just spend some time with you since you kicked me outst time."


    "You were supposed to be going to rx," Anya said, looking up at me with a frown, and I grinned.


    "I did rx. I got to kick a ton of ass, and I got shit done as well. Thanks to you telling me to rx, we were able to stop arge number of Viins and help lots of people. If you want me to rx like you want me to, then you are going to have to force me," I exined, and Anya rolled her eyes and then tucked her head into my chest, closing her book, "How A Realist Hero Saved The Kingdom."


    "I suppose that it was good, but then I am going to keep you here for the rest of the day!" Anya told me, and I nodded.


    "That sounds like a good idea. I wanted toe and talk to you about the movie ideas anyways," I exined, and Anya looked back up at me with an angry look that made her look adorable.


    "No! You are going to sit here and rx! No talking! Just rx with me for a while. There will be plenty of time to talk about thingster if I have you all day long. You have been going almost nonstop for thest four days now!" Anya dered, and I sighed.<novelnext></novelnext>


    "You know that there are a lot of things that need to be done, and there is an infinite amount more that I want to do. I have a hard time sitting still now, unlike before when all I wanted to do was rx with a book. Things have changed, and so have I," I said, and Anya nodded.


    "That is true, but that doesn''t mean you don''t need to rx. I am not asking you to do this; I am telling you as your girlfriend that loves you very much," Anya told me, and I smiled, leaning down to kiss her.


    Anya put her book down and wrapped her arms around my neck as my own circled around her. The two of usid back on the perpetually moving swing, pressing our lips together as I pulled her closer to me.


    My hands started to slide down her back until my hands reached her ass; I squeezed both cheeks yfully.


    Anya moaned into my mouth but then pulled back from my kiss, looking into my eyes, her slightly flushed face standing out from her naturally white hair. I knew what she wanted to ask, but I waited for her to speak.


    "Did you already give away all the abilities?" Anya asked, but I shook my head.


    "No, I still have one left that I have been saving. I know that you told me that you don''t want one, but I think that you are going to need it. I can''t really see another way that we are going to achieve what we want with the movies," I exined, and Anya grinned, making me frown. "What are you grinning about?"


    "Well, the truth is that I wanted to get an ability like the other girls, but I didn''t want to take away from someone who could use it better. I figured that getting people that can help you fight was more important," Anya exined, but I shook my head again.


    "No, we have enough firepower, but at some point, the Viins will be defeated; I have no doubt about that. I want to n for our future after that. There is no reason why we are going to need to fight each other in a serious sense like we are with the AI right now in the future. Once everything is all done, I want the world to go back to something like what it was before, but obviously different," I exined, and Anya nodded.


    "I agree, and I am delighted that you picked me for thest one. This is thest time you will be able to give something like this away. You probably took some time to think about this; it means a lot to me. I really do love you. You know that, right?" Anya asked, and I nodded.


    "And I love you just the same. You have always been important to me because we shared so many of the same interests. For the rest of the girls, I learned to enjoy the things they like or put up with them, but it has always been different with you. I can think of many fond memories of stayingte in your dad''s bookshop to make love and then cuddling up with a pair of books after," I said with a smile.
