A small, small world...

The buzzing sound of his phone would have been a **** on a week day, but today it woke him up for something he would enjoy. He had an hour or to to prepare before having to grab a train to reach Anna's house.

The slime bed was perfect as always, adopting the shape and slight slope to make him more comfortable than he had ever been in a bed. The surface of the mattress under his hand had even taken the shape of a tit.

As soon as it noticed that he was awake and moving, the warm slime blanket that enveloped his naked body retracted into the mattress.

John looked on his phone to see if anything happened in his room in his absence and then took a look at the new pop-up open in front of him.

New Quest: Time to grow up!

Success:

Failure:

YOU CAN'T REFUSE THIS QUEST.

"What the fuck is this quest? I can't refuse it and I can't see more than half of what I will get. The money and xp really look like bait, but the failure penalty could be anything... I have to focus on today, I'm not a murderer, I don't see myself becoming a serial killer just for some money and xp... " he raged, sitting on his bed.

John walked out of his castle's bedroom when he saw something really strange. He just saw what looked from afar like a scarab/rat hybrid... He used Move to pick it up and hold it in front of him.

The rat was bigger than the usual small mice he was seeing around the basement of his castle, he remembered the special rat he had summoned, fucking normal mice. This rat was a hybrid alright, but not the kind he imagined. It had apparently slipped its body in an empty scarab shell, wearing it as some sort of armor. John wondered what impact this change would have on the front line between the maze scarab and dungeon rats at the entrance of the tunnels.

He let the small critter go and got back to his real bedroom. He really wasn't sure if he would ever feel comfortable sleeping in the bed here, after his new one and possible company in his kingdom.

After a quick shower John put some fresh underwear on and got down to the kitchen. He found his mother there, wearing a skimpy robe that failed to hide that it was all she was wearing. It seemed that while she stopped walking around naked, she had trouble getting used being fully clothed around the house.

"So, John! Big day today! It will be fine, it's clear that you too love each other. Just let her feel comfortable with the speed at which things happen and you will blow her mind. Say hi to Trudy for me, please." she said, giving him some orange juice and toasts.

"Trudy? I thought her mother was named Gertrude and she doesn't have a sister..." he asked, beginning to eat his breakfast.

"Oh, she finds it too old fashioned; she only wants to be called Trudy." explained his mother. Together they went again, checking a final list of last minute advices before John returned to his room.

He got back to his bathroom to brush his teeth, comb his hair and put on some deodorant and cologne. He picked one of his nicest shirts and smart pants, with some leather shoes.

The walk to the station and the train ride were devoid of any incidents, even the weather worked in his favor, with not a cloud on the horizon to ruin his day by drenching him on the way.

A few blocks from the house whose adress he had made sure to commit to memory, he took his bouquet of flowers from his inventory. He finished his walk from the station to her house and soon found himself facing the door of a nicely kept house.

His hand was about to hit the door to knock when it opened by itself, revealing a really unusual couple.

A very tall, muscular, blond man with cold grey eyes and enormous hands and arms. Just near him a small rotund woman, very large with long curly blonde hair and blue eyes.

"Hi, you must be John. Enter, enter." said Anna's father, extending a huge, callous hand for him to shake. Even the small amount of strength he put in this would have seriously hurt before his rounds of augmentations. He looked impressed at John's grip and smiled to him. "A strong, young man for our small Anna, good, good..."

"What a beautiful bouquet, Anna will love it. Your mother told me that you were becoming quite a handsome young man, but she understated it." said Anna's mother, she then turned away and shouted. "Anna!!! Your boyfriend is here!"

John could hear Anna berate her mom from saying that in the distance and he could almost feel her blushing from there.

Anna ran in the room, certainly afraid of what would be said if she let her boyfriend alone with her parents (a reaction probably inspired by what most certainly was said the day before between the women of both families).

She was wearing a faded yellow sweater and a long navy blue skirt. She had changed her hairdo totally and her face was almost glowing with wellness. Half of her hair had received a really faint pinkish hue and was gathered in a small bun on the side of her head, while the other half, still of her original blonde was flowing freely on the side. Her bangs stopped in the middle of her forehead, leaving her vibrant light blue eyes visible.

"John,... Wahoo are those for me? They are so beautiful. Hmm and what a nice scent, you shouldn't have, it must have cost a fortune!" she said, amazed at the flowers, the first she had ever been offered in her life.

"Nothing can be too nice for my Anna." he replied. It made her blush, her emotions were so strong that she shed a few tears when she threw herself on him to hug and kiss him. John returned her kiss and closed his arms around her, reassured it was the right thing to do by the warm smiles on both her parents faces. "I love you, Anna." he whispered in her ear when they broke their kiss. He felt her knees wobble as he said that and for a moment had to support her.

"Come on, Anna. I need to show you something before we leave." said her mother, taking her away to the kitchen.

"You are not staying for lunch?" asked John to her father.

"She cooked a nice little meal just for you. We wouldn't want to make this too awkward for you two", replied her giant of a father. He put a hand on John's shoulder and applied enough strength to make him bend his knees slightly, that he could do this with a single hand and without forcing was a tribute to his amazing strength. "I'm not stupid, neither is my wife. We know perfectly what you two have planned for today. Trudy knows your mom, she says you are a nice boy, Anna is in love with you, you seem decent enough... But if you hurt my daughter or break her heart by being a jerk... I will crush you with my bare hands! Understood? " the man who said this to him was very different than the one who had opened the door a minute ago. He had told this, not as a threat, but as a simple fact, never raising his voice or getting angry.

"Mr Klein, I swear to you that hurting her is the last thing I would ever want to do. You have quite a wonderful daughter and being with her is one of the best things that have ever happened to me in my whole life. I've never been really lucky or talented with girls and her love is something that I treasure and will do my best to safeguard. I understand your worries, because I share them. I already asked myself about what could ruin our relationship, in order to avoid it at all cost." he explained, hoping to have passed this test.

"You sure can keep calm under pressure, I've known grown men panicking in such circumstances. You have a way with words, but I trust you. I've always been told by other fathers that I should worry when something like this would happen, but it seems the best way to go about it. Just try to make Anna happy and safe, and you will always be welcome in this house. " laughed Mr Klein.

"Andreas, you big brute! Stop scaring this poor boy and go get the car ready." said Trudy, coming back from the kitchen alone.

John shook the huge hand offered to him and soon after was kissed goodbye by Anna's mother.

"We shouldn't be back until 10pm, don't throw a party and no ****! Have fun you two", she said closing the door. John noticed due to his stealth indicator that Anna was behind him.

Once the front door was locked and the two young lovers alone, they both let out a sigh of relief, the whole meeting the parents awkward moment had passed without major problems.
