A/N: Well, this chapter actually came a lot quicker than I figured I'd make it. I don't update well, but I'm trying for this. Also, if you have any ideas for angel names, feel free to recommend them. I don't make good names haha.
The previously stone angel stared at the two boys, one of who fidgeted under the gaze, the other grinning devilishly. It stayed like that, awkward staring, for at least a few more moments. Then, the angel pounced on the twin like boys, wrapping her arms around the both of them. Tightly. "You've grown up so much!" She claimed excitedly, "I can't believe my little boy grew into such a handsome young angel!"
Pit would've said thank you, but that was kind of hard in the kung fu grip of hugs. Viridi was ultimately his savior from the most lethal of forces, a motherly hug, by saying, "Uhm, ma'am... I don't think they can breathe."
Immediately, the mother angel released the two boys while apologizing, "I'm sorry! I didn't realize! It's just, well, I'm kind of shocked." She turned to Dark Pit, "You said you're my son's clone, right?"
Dark Pit nodded, "Yeah, it's a long story, back when Pit was fighting Medusa a second time," he paused as he recieved a questioning look from Pit's mother, then said, "Actually, I think I'll let Pit explain."
Pit nodded, "Uh, well you see, after Medusa turned all the angels to stone, she trapped Lady Palutena, and I had to climb up from the Underworld to rescue her, and that was the first time I rescued her," he said, explaining the basics of his first adventure. "Then," he continued, "Medusa got revived, so I went and started fighting against her. I had to fight Pandora first though, because she had this mirror that kept making Underworld troops. I destroyed it, but Pittoo came out the moment I did." He spared the details of how they fought, not wanting her to dislike Dark Pit.
"So your name's Pittoo?" She asked Dark Pit.
He was about to object, but Pit answered, "Yep, good ol' Pittoo."
Dark Pit's protests were unheard apparently, as she hugged him and said, "I guess since you're Pit's clone, that makes you my son too, Pittoo." Dark Pit wouldn't admit it, but he probably thought that it was nice to be hugged like this.
"So, uh, what do I call you? I mean, it would be kind of awkward if I just said, 'Pit and Pittoo's mom' everytime I talk to you," Viridi asked
"Oh! You're right, that would be terrible awkward," she said, "My name is Mia, it's a pleasure to meet you Viridi."
Viridi responded, "It's a pleasure to meet you as well, Mia."
"So how do you know my son, er, sons?" Mia asked, noticing that the two angels had decided to relax in the hot spring.
"Oh, Pittoo's an officer in my army, the forces of nature, and Pit... well, at first we were enemies, but we eventually became friends," Viridi answered.
"Good friends?" Mia probed.
"Yeah," Viridi answered casually, "But he's, quite frankly, a bit of an idiot."
"His father is very oblivious too," Mia responded, "but he has a good heart."
Pit and Dark Pit were watching Mia talking to Viridi, and Pit whispered to Dark Pit, "Is it just me, or is it weird for Viridi to be so nice?"
"I heard that!" Viridi snapped, smacking Pit with her staff, she then noticed Mia looking at her, and explained, "Don't worry about it. He may not look like it, but he has quite a bit of endurance."
"Yeah," Pit said, "Viridi beats me a lot, and I got used to it. Though sometimes I'll wake up the next morning sore all over because my body is not meant to bend that way!" The last part clearly a personal shot at Viridi.
"That was one time, Pit. And I didn't hear you complain then!" Viridi shot back.
"I couldn't talk, my mouth was busy!" Pit replied in turn which ultimately broke the seal.
Dark Pit began howling with laughter, while Mia's face reddened in embarrassment, which caused Viridi to ask, "What?"
"I, uh," Mia stuttered, unsure of how she should phrase what she was about to say, "Well, um... Isn't it kind of awkward to talk about that kind of stuff with other people present?"
"What kind of stuff?" Pit asked, smacking Pittoo in attemps to quiet the laughter.
"You know," Mia said, embarrassed, "stuff." Apparently the emphasis was lost on the duo, as they both looked at her with confusion. She sighed in defeat and whispered, "Sex."
"What! No!" Viridi exclaimed, hiding her own blushing face.
"No!" Pit yelled, his own blush plainly visible while he tried to explain, "What happened was I got stuck in the bush," He was interrupted by even louder laughter from Dark Pit, then continued, "That is not what I meant, Pittoo."
"There's nothing wrong with it," Mia said, despite the objections of the angel and the goddess, "It's just, kind of awkward to hear about."
"I'm not sleeping with Pit!" Viridi exclaimed.
"Yeah, Viridi and I aren't like that," Pit backed.
"Yet," Dark Pit added, which gave him the honour of Viridi's staff to the face.
"Well, wanting to wait is perfectly natural," Mia said in a lecturing tone,"but when you are ready, remember to be safe."
"We're not even in a relationship!" Viridi proclaimed in frustration. When she noticed that Pit hadn't backed her up, she shot him a look, only to see him swimming in the hotspring. She called, "Right, Pit?"
"Huh? What were we talking about?" Pit asked.
"How could you already forget?" Viridi queried
"Well," Pit answered,"You know how a chicken takes three steps and then forgets?"
"Gah, you're an idiot!" Viridi stated the obvious.
"Ah, young love," the oldest angel cooed.
Viridi sighed in frustration, before changing the subject, "You mentioned a photo album?"
Mia nodded, "Yep, come on," she said grabbing Viridi's hand before jumping into the air, batting her wings a few time. However, she landed almost immediately and seemed to be confused. She looked at her wings and said, "Everything seems normal..." She tried again, flapping her wings fast enough to create a light breeze, but wasn't able to fly.
"Don't worry," Pit said, "Viridi can open a doorway there, right?"
"Of course I can," Viridi said, flicking her wrist. As she did so, a doorway appeared, opening up before the group. Mia walked through the door way. Dark Pit followed immediately after her, leaving Pit and Viridi to bring up the rear. Viridi whispered angrily too Pit, "You should have backed me up!"
"With what?" Pit whispered back.
"That we're not together, you idiot!" Viridi answered.
"Oh," Pit answered. He thought for a moment, "Wouldn't they be more sure of it the more we deny it though?"
"You're an idiot," Viridi said, reenforcing the fact. She smacked him with her staff before he could retaliate, and quickly caught up to Mia and the dark angel.
"Lover's quarrel?" Dark Pit asked, snickering, which earned him a smack from Viridi yet again. The group travelled in relative silence, though there were a few bits of conversation.
Suddenly, Mia spoke, "Before we go see the picture album, could I see the other angels?" After a moment, Pit nodded and changed course, leading them to the warehouse like building where the angel statues were held.
As the light from behind the group shined into the building, it illuminated the remaining statues. Mia approached one of them, tears in her eyes. She whispered something, and wrapped her arms around the statue as she began to cry. Pit moved forward, almost laying a hand on her shoulder to comfort her, but instead hesitated, and eventually drew back. A moment later, the door opened again, revealing Palutena, who said, "Pit, Viridi, Pittoo, what are you doing," though she was cut off as she saw the older angel. She whispered, "Mia, is that you?"
