What's next?
Give suggestions, but ask for their thoughts!
Chapter by Nenen
Your daughters are looking at you with lost expressions, unsure of what to even say. Well, you can't blame them. Maybe you can give them some ideas and see what they think. "Mmm, how about we head out into the city? What do you girls think?"
"Is… that what you wish for, Mother?" Dialga asks, though her tone seems to suggest she isn't saying all she thinks.
"Dialga, if something is wrong then feel free to tell me. I will not get mad at you, you can be sure of that." You nod at her and wait to see if she says what she really thinks.
"W-well, while I may not be o-oposed to the… idea. I'm not s-sure how the townspeople would react to you, Mother."
"Mmm, and what do you think, Palkia? I want your honest thoughts." Your other daughter practically jumps on her seat when you ask her.
"U-um. I-I think that… w-would be a mess?"
"Palkia!" You raise a hand to stop Dialga and let Palkia speak, giving the later a nod.
"Is just…! You know how the townspeople get about us two together, Dialga. By ourselves it is fine, but seeing us two together they think a disaster is happening. If Mother were to… appear with us, I fear their reactions would be bigger than we expect." Dialga seems like she wants to reprimand her sister for even daring to suggest you would cause trouble, but you don't give her time for that before you speak.
"I see. It is a very valid concern. Thank you Palkia, for your honest thoughts." You turn to Dialga. "Dialga, do not be mad at your sister. She raised a valid concern. It has been centuries since I last walked on this world. While it is true that Legendaries like you two co-exist with all Pokémon, the same can't be said for me. If my sudden presence is taken as an omen of a great disaster, then it is for the best that I stay here for the time being."
"M-mother…! But that's…" Dialga clearly understands Palkia and your point, but she doesn't seem like she wants to accept it. You go and place a hand on her head, caressing her gently.
"I understand you may think otherwise, but I came here willing to accept that things wouldn't go their best way right away. Just know that all that I wish for right now is to spend time with you two, be it out there, here, or elsewhere. It doesn't matter to me if I can only watch from afar as long as I can be with you two from now on."
"M-mother…" She looks like she's about to cry. You go back to your seat and give her some time. It speaks volumes that she doesn't use her powers to evade letting her mother see her this way. "I'm sorry, Mother. I… didn't tell you the whole truth of my mind." You nod to her to keep her talking. "I… knew the way the Pokémon in town would react would be catastrophic. B-but I didn't want to ever imply your presence would be a bad thing. Now that you said y-you want to be here with… w-with us… I just. I… can't bear the t-thought of you going away again." She breaks down in tears this time. "I'm sorry, Mother! For being this selfish!" Palkia looks down at that, probably sharing her sister's feelings on the matter. You get up, and gently stand Dialga from her seat. Then, you embrace her in a warm hug. Her cries become louder as she's given the comfort of a mother that she missed for too long. "F-forgive me… Mother! I…!" She just hugs you tight after that, crying on your bosom. You look at Palkia and give her a nod. She then walks to you, and hugs you tight as well. Tears fall from her eyes, not as strong as her sister.
"You aren't being selfish, my precious daughter. Any child deserves the love and company of a mother. To think that it would take me this long to realize something so simple… I can only be ashamed of my past self." This time Palkia hugs you tighter and cries more.
"M-mom, I… I k-know you just wanted the best for us. Y-you didn't do it b-because you didn't w-want us near… I…" Palkia tells you. You hold them bore with more strength but even more care and love.
"Don't ever think for a second that I didn't want you. I'm your mother, there is no way I would ever hate you or wish you away. It is sorely my fault that I failed to see the harm I was doing with my original choices. I was a failure to you both as a mother." You then pet both their heads. "Even if it takes centuries, I'll spend as long as it is needed to rebuild the broken bridges between all of us. You don't have to forgive my actions just yet, you can be rightfully mad at them. Just know that I love you dearly, and will do all in my power to earn the right of this love." The previous Arceus made mistakes, grave ones. You knew you would be faced with all of them when taking her place, but that's fine. The two… no. All of them are worth it.
After a few minutes you feel the sisters have calmed down. "I'm going to release you now. Is that okay?" Two nods. You do and see their faces wet with their tears. You look at them, and get an idea. "Say, I have realized that you two are donning outfits befitting this era. Do you believe I could use some as well just as you two do?" You see their eyes widen, then a faint blush appear on their faces as they try to look away without showing that they're looking away. Did they… not realize you're basically naked? "While I have no shame in my form whatsoever…" at that you push your chest forwards, making the two blush more. "I do believe this could bring me closer to you two, don't you believe so?"
"W-well Mo-mother, ahh, it may have… slipped our minds your la- I mean the subject of clothing." Dialga is blushing as she admits that she completely forgot you were completely naked this whole time, and that she was hugging your naked form just earlier most likely.
"Maybe we could… lend her some of ours?" Palkia suggests to Dialga, though it is more of a question than a suggestion.
"That would save time but… doesn't Mother deserve her own clothing?"
"True, but would she think we want to be away from her if we go shopping? We said we aren't ready to answer her already, to just leave would be…"
"I can't say what she would think. But I'm still leaning towards buying some, after all I'm not sure ours would fit. She is-'' then she looks at you and freezes. You are doing everything in your power to not laugh out loud. They were so lost in their own world they forgot you were here! You gather yourself as much as possible, and then tell them what you think.
Suggestions:
•Try out their clothing. It could be a fun experience!
•Tell them you are fine with waiting in the house. They go shopping.
•Use your powers to accompany them by being one of them.
•Something else.
