"Yeah, and crying sure hel-" Hamon begins to grumble. "I mean, uhhh... Right. Sorry."
He gives Cream a look that asks 'Am I done here or what?'

"Grr.. you're the one that caused it F***wad!" Poison deliver a ground shattering kick to his nether regions, causing crippling pain to allow her to blast him with an energy sphere. She walks back to her work annoyed while Cream, still smiling, examines Hamon, "My, that looks painful. This will take a few hours." She places her hand over him before. Sealing him in white room

As soon as Elia fell asleep, Jet grabbed the journal from under her pillow and began flipping through it. Man he had some plans for Jafet. I don't think anyone in their right minds would even propose women's rights there.

[The next day at night]
A full moon was shining down on the lake's shimmering surface. Pearl was fully dressed in her Lehenga along with a few extra sashes. Everyone was outside cheering her on to go.
"Dancing was always your favorite thing to do. Make this one count Pearl." Wha-Wha told her in a sisterly tone rather than lovers.
"You already know the steps in your heart. Blow us away little sis." Jet said amongst the crowd.
"I believe in you Jam. And your favorite is waiting when we get back." Cream said warmly.
"Come on Pearly! You got the touch!" Mist shouted with zealousness.
"The time has come dear. Don't hesitate." Rhea told her with a motherly hug.
Pearl smiled as she looked at Arcturus to say something.

"I know you can do it, Pearl," Elia said.
We'll be going back to Shaldra soon. I need to start thinking of exactly what I'll do when I get back, and how I'll escape. Although, I'm still a little out of it from yesterday, so if I plan now, something is bound to go wrong. ...Why do I have such a pathetic mana pool, anyway?
Elia slowly wandered through the crowd, quite obviously distracted. At one point she became a little dizzy, and ended up bumping into someone, but she wasn't sure who it was due to her current state. Normally she would apologize and make sure the other person was okay, but it never crossed her mind. Instead, Elia just stood there, trying to sort out everything in her mind, growing more distracted and beginning to become frustrated by her jumbled thoughts.
Everything is so foggy right now. I can't believe I slept through the rest of the day yesterday, through the night, and until an hour ago without waking up even once. I should be okay tomorrow, but I really overdid it yesterday. I didn't even realize it until afterwards, so if I hadn't stopped when I did, I might have gone into a coma or worse. ...I wonder what's been going on in the palace while we've been gone...

"Good luck Pearl~! You're our girl~!" Mercury felt a bump right as they ended. Wow. What happened to her? Uhh well we don't exactly have a chair for her... "Do you want to sit?" After Elia didn't respond, Mercury thought it would be best to help her sit on the grass without falling over. She took her to the front where she helped her get off her feet.

"You already know what I'd say." Arcturus told her as he hugged her from behind.
And with that, Arcturus pushed Pearl forward a bit as a send-off before taking a step back to observe.

Pearl took a deep breath as she started walking to the water's surface. She took one step on the water. It created three ripples. Another step. Four ripples. Four more steps. Fifteen more ripples. She made her way to the center where the moon covered her in a silver light. With another breath, she was finally ready to start.
She started alone with a basic spin. Her largest sash elegantly suspended in the air. It fell down and draped over her shoulders as she knelt down with one knee. This time a single ripple was created and it sounded like the strumming of a lute. The silver light around her began making an illusion, the outline of a woman. As Pearl rose, so did the water to fill out the illusion. She moved with the woman in harmony the way figure skaters do on ice. The string of consecutive ripples that followed them began playing a pleasant song. That song was interpreted different by everyone who listened, but it always accompanied the dance. The illusion lifted her and gracefully brought her back down. Their moves on the water were perfectly timed and choreographed to emphasize statue like poses. The ripples began glowing as Pearl entered her final spin at the center of the lake. The light created a glowing white circle underneath her that expanded to the edges of the forest. In that brief, blinding flash, the water flowed from the illusion to her. Her eyes became golden in color as the light faded and she walked back to land. The illusion cast on the forest as well as the mist, faded away, revealing the sight of three mountain ranges and a hauntingly beautiful forest. Pearl began walking to the leftward mountain range and pretty soon so did everyone else. Jet helped Elia up as she still looked a little tired. Rhea told Arcturus, "Well I think it's time you met your mother-in-law."

Zappa felt a sudden force begin to fade him away. "What's happening now? Is this your doing monster?"
"Heh, you'll find out soon enough." The madness inside Van Halen smiled a despicable smile.

"I hope she likes me." Arcturus told Rhea as he walked along. "No one likes in-laws that hate you."

Elia didn't say anything until after they started walking toward the mountains. She kept looking around, and even though she seemed really out of it before, Elia seemed to be perfectly fine at that moment. The closer they got to the mountains, the more she acted like her normal self, and appeared to be thinking of her childhood.
"It reminds me of home," she said before her face changed again, into one with a sincere smile and twinkling, innocent looking eyes.

"You'll be just fine. She's powerful, but kind. Don't try to hard to make a good first impression." Rhea told Arcturus as they walked.
---
Wha-Wha nudged Alto who was standing near her, "So I guess this is your first time meeting mother, huh? Oh and this is also your first time seeing the forest for what it is. Not too bad, right?"
---
Jet smiled as she saw how happy Elia was. She felt no need to interrupt her, so she just walked quietly next to her.

"And what if I end up making a poor impression?" Arcturus asked a bit nervously as he stopped and looked at Rhea.
---
"It's pretty nice, but not as nice as some things." Alto giggled as she bumped Wha-Wha with her hip.

"Nothing. That's what I keep trying to tell you. So listen a little. That might help." Rhea told him as they reached the base of the mountain
---
"We can go to that later. And maybe with your cute assistant involved." Wha-Wha told her with a smile.
---
Zappa, despite his struggle, continued to fade from inside the mind. "I can exist in multiple places in space at once, but yet I seem to be gathering elsewhere. So if this isn't your doing, then that must mean..."

"Are you sure?" Arcturus asked Rhea, this time with much more worry. "I'd be terrified if I accidentally spilled tea on Pearl's mother or something."
---
"Oh, that's right, I never punished him for messing up my clothes this morning." Alto smiled with sadism as she wrapped her arm around Wha-Wha. "Maybe Alucard too?"

"Just loosen up . We don't bother with all the social etiquette here in case you hadn't noticed."
---
"Of course! They're gonna get a very unique experience." Wha-Wha pulled her in close with her own devious smile.

[That morning, Pearl's Dream]
In a misty flower field, a young Pearl, about ten years old, was looking around with great curiosity at her surroundings. She left no stone unturned as she explored the area. Of course her exploration stopped where it always did. A man in a wild golden cloak extended his hand to her. As always she smiled and ran to take the man's hand. As she got closer, she became her current age. And just as she was about to reach the hand, he vanished as always, except this time the dream didn't end. Pearl fell to her knees and began crying. The dream finally ended when Pearl was half submerged in a sea of her own tears.
Pearl shot up in bed with one arm extended. She wasn't sure if Arcturus got up, but she did begin to cry whilst sitting up in bed.
[Elsewhere in the castle]
Jasmine was playing a strange type of string instrument. It was larger than a lute and had dials to tune the strings. As she played she sang:
"I am falling, I am fading, I am drowning
Help me to breathe
I am hurting, I have lost it all
I am losing
Help me to breathe"

"Butbutbutbut..." Arcturus muttered as he backed down.
---
"Fufufufufu..." Alto laughed evilly as she rubbed her hands together. "Yes they will..."
---
[That morning]
Arcturus awoke to see Pearl weeping aloud as she sat up in bed. He silently sat up with her before wrapping his arms around Pearl's abdomen and hugging her.
"Pearl," he asked as he rocked gently to comfort her. "What's wrong?"

"You're stressing over this way too much." Rhea said as she gripped Arcturus' shoulders. "She's not going to kill you or maim you. Calm down and be yourself."
---
"Hehehehe... They'll be lucky to feel a thing below the waist afterwards."
---
Pearl cuddled up to her husband while still bawling and crying. "H-he al-always leaves me. W-why won't he stay?"

"Knowing my luck, she'll kill me if I even touch Pearl." Arcturus teared up a bit as he walked forward again. "I just hope she likes me and accepts that I've married her daughter."
---
"Fufufufufufufu..." Alto continued laughing with Wha-Wha as they scrunched their backs and continued sneakily along behind Rhea and Arcturus.
---
"Who's leaving?" Arcturus held Pearl up to his chest before slowly reclining. "Was it a dream? Tell me, it's alright."

"Marriage isn't traditionally one of our customs, but you two love each other. She'll accept that."
---
"H-him. He offers me his hand, but then he disappears. D-did I do something wrong?" Pearl slumps down on his chest with the heavy sobs starting again.

"But how will I know that she's okay with me!?" Arcturus fell to his knees in a dramatic moment as he shouted towards the sky.
---
"Hey, maybe it's a sign." Arcturus replied as he laid his hand across Pearl's chest. "There could be something that you want, but it's just out of reach. It might be out of your reach, but with my help, I'm sure you could get it."

"Pearl chose you. That's enough for her. I doubt you've earned the sky's wrath recently." Rhea offered him her hand to get him up.
---
"But I've seen him since I was a little girl... I just want to know who he is..."

"I think I've earned the chance to shout at the sky." Arcturus sighed as he stood up without taking Rhea's hand and then shook it. "Plus, that was my first time."
---
"I don't know who he is either." Arcturus held Pearl's hand as he rubbed his head against her neck. "I just want to help you, but I don't know how."
