Only fools rush in p3

"You guys sound so serious, I'm starting to worry." Henrietta said, "That's because i am." Ned replied, "You mean we are, I may not remember it but I'm still Jade's parent too." Garrick added crossing his arms.

"The hell is going on?!" Jade said,"This is Rather...interesting." Rapunzel commented.

"I've been trying to give you hints, Jade...however it seems the direct approach is the best solution." Yuri spoke-up.

At this point everyone was standing very close to each other, kinda like in a circle while waiting for Yuri to say more.

"Hints?" Jade questioned, "Hold on, what Direct approach? You've been hinting at What? cuz you skipped hinting at some of us apparently since we're not all Valentinos." Yurei replied skeptically making Ned roll his eyes, "This jealous little shit." Ned mumbled.

"I feel like I have an idea about what is going on." Muriel said, "Me too...I think I...understand what's going...on too." Tacito replied.

"You two are smarter than me, I'm as confused as Yurei on this one." Thorn whispered.

"If any of you have an idea on what's going on, Don't say it, let Yuri themself do that, it's their moment not ours." Jasper said.

"Noted my love." Faunus replied, "Okay, I will not say anything." Muriel said.

"Yuri, I don't mean to be rude but are you gonna keep us waiting forever?" Garrick asked impatiently, he wanted to know what's going on already.

Smiling nervously, "No...it's just that now that I have to say it, I'm feeling kind of embarrassed." Yuri said while blushing.

"Eww, Why are you acting so shy all of the sudden?! it's disgusting!" Yurei commented but in order to shut him up, Tacito stepped on his foot.

"OWOWOWOWOW?!" in pain, Yurei grabbed his foot and whined, "HEY TACI?! how can you do this to ME! that's domestic abuse!" Yurei complained while Tacito ignored him and smiled at Yuri saying, "Please continue what...you were saying...Jihi."

"Ah! The satisfaction! I feel so proud of my nephew for handling that jackass mate of his." Faunus whispered happily, "That makes two of us." Jasper whispered back sniggering.

Now that Yurei has calmed down, Yuri took a deep breath and sighed, "Sorry for building-up this unwanted suspense...like I said, I'm feeling embarrassed, and I understand if this confession may make some of you angry because I've been sitting on this fact for so long, without sharing it with the people who should've known." Yuri said.

"I don't understand." Jade said, "Yuri, you've been hanging around my daughter way too much lately, you two became close so quickly and then out of nowhere you mention a mate to her, do you know how bad this seems?!

You know that Jade is someone who's too romantic and she easily falls in love, but it also takes her ages to fall out of love." Ned said annoyed.

"SO WHAT MOM?! Why do always treat it as if I'm going to die everytime I fall in love with someone new! so what?! HuH?!" Jade protested, surprising everyone.

"Jade you did almost die before! please understand that I'm only trying to protect you here!" Ned replied.

"I've been 25 for years now! I can protect myself on my own!

And Yeah, I do have a crush on Yuri but it's just a crush, it'll go away and I'll get over it! so stop worrying yourself over things that are irrelevant to you like my love life.

IT'S MY LOVE LIFE NOT YOURS! I don't tell you to do anything in yours so don't control mine!

Let me fall in and out of love! let my heart break and heal on its own! WHO DO THINK YOU ARE TO TELL ME WHO TO LOVE?!" Jade replied screaming at Ned who felt as if his heart just sank deeper into his chest.

"Jade calm down! you're getting angry at the wrong person for the wrong reasons!" Garrick said.

"Jade, It is normal for Ned to worry about you! you are his daughter!" Muriel spoke-up, "Muriel is right...You should feel grateful! my parents don't even care who I'm dating or who's breaking my heart." Thorn added.

"Stop it You guys!...*Sighing* it seems like this has turned into one huge misunderstanding...and here I thought Jasper got his smarts from Ned." Yuri said.

"You're the reason this whole chaos is happening, what the hell are you talking about anyways?!" Yurei spoke-up, "Mi amor stay...silent." Tacito warned him.

"I didn't lead Her on, what led Jade on was our bond itself." Yuri explained.

"What does that mean?" Henrietta asked.

Sighing, "I suppose Jasper got his smarts from me." Rapunzel replied.

"Yuri...are you...?" Garrick seemed to have finally caught on to the meaning of the mage's words.

"Yes, Jade is my mate." Yuri said and all of the sudden, the room fell silent for a second.

Jade just stood there, staring at Yuri who got confused at the sudden Silence, "Umm...is everyone Alright?" Yuri asked.

"WHAT?!" Ned shouted, "You're Jade's mate? as in...Destined Mates?" Garrick questioned.

"Yes, darling...I did expect it to be shocking news.

After all, I Know that my previous relationship with Mallory and the fact that I'm a parent may be an annoying fact...but that was long before your daughter was born, so it shouldn't affect my current relationship with Jade." Yuri replied nervously.

"These people...everyone here is weird." Henrietta whispered, "As if you're normal." Rapunzel replied sniggering.

"You're missing the point Yuri! how come you're her mate?!...wait! does that make Jade my stepdad?! HOLY SHIT MY LIFE IS GETTING FUCKED BY THE FUCKING VALENTINOS AGAIN!" Yurei shouted in despair making Tacito sigh and shake his head in disappointment.

"Shut the fuck up you lunatic! thank whatever deity you worship that it wasn't me who's paired with your Parent, cuz then your pathetic life would actually be fucked!" Jasper replied annoyed, Causing Faunus to giggle.

Suddenly, "Jade, Honey...Are you still functioning?" Ned asked when he noticed his daughter hasn't made a noise or done anything for a reaction so far, "Jade, I think you're too Shocked, you should probably sit down." Garrick adviced her.

"Sis? you good?" Jasper asked.

When she didn't reply, "I think you guys broke her or something?" Thorn said, "I wonder what is going on inside her head, she is never this calm." Muriel said.

"Hey Jade, can you hear us at least?" Henrietta asked while approaching her, "Back away." Rapunzel suddenly spoke, "Now."

As if it was a signal, "I have a...Mate?" Jade spoke-up grabbing everyone's attention.

"Honey, are you feeling okay?" Ned asked, "I have a mate...Mom I have a mate! just like you and brother! I have a mate!" A big smile found its way on Jade's face.

"Jade...!" Ned was surprised, his daughter never looked so happy, and when he glanced at Yuri, he watched with a bigger feeling of surprise how the mage's eyes filled with tears as they approached Jade, "I knew it...You're too pure for me, I still don't understand why it has to be you Jade.

But I promise from now on, I'll do whatever it takes to be worthy of your pure soul." Yuri said, before bowing in front of Jade.

When the mage lifted their head, Jade wrapped them instantly in a big hug, "Don't think too much about it, if we're together it means we're already worthy of each other." Jade said making Yuri burst into tears while hugging her back.

Yurei's expression softened watching Yuri cry, "And here I thought They're a robot." he mumbled.

Smiling at them, "We didn't have to worry after all...I'm glad this misunderstanding is resolved." Garrick said to Ned but was taken back when he heard Ned sobbing by his side.

"Hey! are you alright?!" He asked worriedly, "I'm fine...I'm just happy for her." Ned replied sniffing with a smile on.

"AWWIE! Ned is in tears! it is making me want to cry too!" Muriel said, "Please Don't say that, You know I'll end-up crying too! I'm too weak against this shit!" Thorn replied.

"I don't feel...like crying anymore...than laughing just...thinking about how... we all Are...step by step...becoming one big...and weird Familia." Tacito said chuckling, "I can't imagine...explaining all of...this one day...to my child." he added.

"It's kinda weird...seeing your own parent cry." Jasper said to Yurei.

"Weird is an understatement, but I get it a little...i cried my eyes out too when Taci turned out to be my mate." Yurei replied.

"Well that is...True." Tacito said chuckling again, "He cried like...a total crybaby."

"Hey! I Know that we Are in the middle of a Generally bad situation, but we have two people who declared love today and I think that deserves some sort of celebration." Muriel spoke-up grabbing everyone's attention.

"A Celebration? really baby? now with my memories back I think I'm too traumatized for another friendly party." Thorn replied.

"Well I can't say that I don't agree with Thorn, we may be having a beautiful moment right now but we need to stay on high alert.

We have no idea when that asshole is going to show-up." Jasper said.

"You two are right, it is pretty dangerous to let loose in such a situation." Faunus said making Muriel pout, "Okaaaaay, I guess no party for me." he said disappointed.

"Don't be too sad baby, we'll find other times to party." Thorn said, wrapping a still pouting Muriel into a hug.

"Hey, I also agree a party may not be the best course of action, but shouldn't we ask the concerned people whether they wanna party in their honor or not, before deciding on our own?" Henrietta suddenly suggested.

"You have a point!" An excited Muriel said before he abruptly broke his hug with Thorn and approached Jade and Yuri who were still hugging.

"Jade sweetheart! what do you think? do you want to party?" Muriel asked.

"Party?" Jade questioned.

"Muriel what are you doing?" Garrick asked curiously, "I want to know if you guys want to party! to celebrate these romantic moments! you and Ned should also decide." Muriel replied.

"I seriously need a break." Ned said while drying his tears, "So do what you want for the night, party or whatever you want, you can even sleep here I don't mind." he added.

"I want a sleepover party!" Jade said enthusiastically, "What do you think Yuri? we've done this before, The sleepover I mean." Jade asked.

Sniffing, "I just cried too much to think, do what you want darling." Yuri replied.

"A party it is then!" Jade said happily, "WOOHOO!" Muriel cheered.

Sighing, "This man was a king?... unbelievable." Thorn said, "You talk as if you're any better." Yurei replied.

"Before either a fight or a party happens, Did all of you forget About Matilda and Socorro?" Faunus spoke loud enough for everyone to hear.

"HOLY SHIT MATI! I COMPLETELY FORGOT ABOUT HER! I GOT SO BUSY WITH EVERYTHING I FORGOT TO CHECK ON HER!" Ned freaked out.

"Calm down Neddie! when we left, Matilda was asleep, I think she is probably going to stay like that until morning, so tomorrow we can go check on her.

Besides, she is with her Mate and her mother, she should be fine." Muriel said to reassure him.

"Muriel is right, try to relax Until tomorrow, I'll go with you to see her." Garrick said.

Taking a deep breath, "Alright, I guess I can chill for the night." Ned replied.

"YAY! WE GET TO PARTY!" Jade shouted, "Can't believe we're twins." Jasper said making Faunus laugh.

"I'm going back to my bedroom, so don't break the house." Ned said.

Leaning into Ned's ears with a smirk, "Does that mean we can finish where we left off earlier?" Garrick whispered.

"You sure are naughty today." Ned replied blushing.
