Finally we filmed the farewell to the school, with flowers, farewells and other dramatic nonsense, which is a bit unreasonable when you remember that we had only been here for five days. By the way, it was filmed by a different director, so it went off without incident.

- Haa. That's what I got ripped out of my day off for? - who was mad as hell, but I still liked her better.

- I'm sorry, I don't know where she went. - Ripley said apologetically as she got into the car.

It's worth remembering that since we're all in the same car, it's a good time to honour the detective's request, ask the guys for an autograph and pass on the gift.

- Do you guys mind signing a photo? The police station asked me to. - I pulled a promo photo out of my bag that already had my signature on it and passed it around. Then I got a gift for Arnold. - And this was asked to be given to you personally.

- Hmm? - With a wide smile and rubbing himself by his wide jaw, he opened the box, where he found.... - A purple thong? Not my style, Jude, you'd love one of those anyway.

With a slight feeling of disgust, Arnold threw the knickers in Jude's face. He looked at his nemesis with lowered eyebrows at the argument, then returned the smile and picked up the underwear.

- They're see-through, only girls should wear them, guys' genitals can't look attractive in them. I realise that fashion is not your thing, but you have to have common sense, don't you? - With a smug smile, Jude threw his pants back at Arnold, but missed over a bump, hitting Ricardo.

- Hmm?... They smell, and not at all expensive.... - After this sentence, everyone turned sharply away from Ricardo, who was sitting with a confused and disappointed look.

.....

Arriving home, I hurriedly unloaded, changed and contacted Penny to make an appointment. I was so determined to get it over with that I couldn't be distracted by Mystique opening the door in my guise, NEWT running around with a towel in her hands, Sabretooth running after me trying to retrieve my stolen goods, or Pyro lying in my room fiddling with my laptop.

- Kya! I-I told you I'm not g-g-ready... - at the random moment I was taking off my jeans, she jumped out of the room.

There's no stopping my determination!

- Peter, since you're home and probably hungry, I'll make a quick lasagne? - That's what I thought, until Mystique came into my room in her apron with a tempting offer.

-Half an hour and one serving of lasagne later-

After a suddenly very tasty lunch, determination filled my veins again and I-.

- Here, coffee. - drank the coffee Mystique offered me. Also unexpectedly delicious.

After that, determination filled my veins, remember, I dialled Penny's number.

- Who's this? - Instead of any sort of greeting, she answered with a tone of incredulity.

- Forget the rubbish I told you, I wasn't myself.

- For the last fifteen years or just this week? - Though her tone lightened, the irritation came over me, and it wasn't the first time these things had been connected.

- Firstly, I was nice to you until you were seven. Two, two. Three, we need to talk and it's important.

- You have a--

- Where are you right now, I'll come over. - knowing that she wanted to offer to come to my place, I hurried to make the appointment myself.

- I'm at an amusement park right now and-- Well. I'm not sure you'd want to be there if I wanted to get out of here. - Penny whispered the last part.

- Huh? - My sister's at an amusement park and she wants to get out of it, Gina Grey got to her, too? - I'll be right there!

- Wait, I didn't give you the address. - not wanting to waste a second, I hung up the phone and rushed out, determined to save my little sister.

-An amusement park whose address Penny had texted-

Arriving at the place, I quickly realised why Penny wanted to get away and why she thought I'd better not come. It wasn't the park, it had been her favourite since childhood, it wasn't the weather, it was a nice day, it was the campaign....

- Hmm?! - The blonde choked on her ice cream when she saw me. Then stood up abruptly and walked towards the nearest tree.

- Long time no see, Flash. - I had no choice but to hold her from behind.

- Mm-hmm...

.....

- Boo! Bro, you said you needed to have a serious talk with me, and the first thing you do is cuddle with Flash without even saying hello! - Pouting so hard that even the juice in her glass was bubbling, Penny threw me.

- Well, you're my sister, and she's my ex, so it's easy to see who's stealing my attention.

- Ex... - Flash, who was sitting at the same table with us, suddenly stopped catching the straw of her drink and stared into the void.

- The question is, what are you doing in my ex's campaign?

- Ex-girlfriend. - apparently having had enough of trying to catch her drink, Flash decided to lie down and rest.

- Flash, are you all right? - ignoring my question, Penny turned to my ex.

- Yeah, I'm just heartbroken, but otherwise I'm fine... - she replied, crying.

- Okay, then. - After making sure Flash was okay, Penny turned to me. - She suddenly apologised to me, since then she's been trying to hang out in my incomparable campaign ever since!

Suddenly I felt extremely sorry for poor Flash, still resting on the table.

- The question is, little brother, what's the important thing you wanted to talk about? If you tell me you've got another girl, I'll run away and never forgive you again. By the way, if you win the show, I'll never talk to you again, ever! - Man, maybe we shouldn't go out in the first round.

- Haa... This isn't about me, it's about you, Penny.

At my serious tone, both girls listened intently, even gulped.

- How? What? What do you plan to do in the future about love? What does it look like for you? What do you expect from your future husband? - I feel sorry for parents who have to talk to their children about spires and violets.

- What do I expect from my husband-to-be? Nothing, except for him to tell me he loves me once in a while. - God, my sister's standards are so low! Who's to blame for her wanting to hear that she's loved, eh?! Her aunts told her that all the time. - What does love look like to me? I don't know, when you can watch TV together instead of going to an amusement park and be satisfied? There's no plans, it's just like everyone else, I suppose.

- Right. Well. Is there a boy you like? Maybe you've dated someone before? Or are you seeing someone now? - Given her standards, I'm sure I'm a hundred per cent not going to like her choice.

- Pah! - Flash suddenly perked up and straightened up in her chair. - Sorry, it slipped out.

- Nothing Ex, oops, sorry Flash, got confused by accident, oops.

- Ex... - and so Flash laid her head on the table again, resting.

- And so... - Penny averted her gaze. Suspicious. - Not dating, I haven't, and I don't particularly like anyone.

- Okay. So tell me, what do you envision your ideal young man and your life together to be? - I need to figure out how likely Penny is to end up in a relationship where she's being taken advantage of. Who knows, maybe it's okay for girls in this world to even want that?

- Bro, what's with all the questions? - the little one glanced at me. - I will marry you after university. I could have done it sooner, but before the children are born, I would like to study and find a job.

...

...

So...

I was wrong. I don't approve of her choice two hundred per cent. I may be a nice guy, but--

- I'm sorry, Penny, but what the hell?! Are you out of your mind with your anime?!

- Э?! - Both girls were staring at me like I was the one who said the anime crap.

- Peter, do you hate Penny? - Flash came back from the dead. - She's your sister, and you're not gonna marry her?

- Sister. Marry. Marry your sister. Am I the only one who finds that strange, immoral and unnatural? - the girls looked at me for a few seconds, turned to each other with a "did he really say that?" look, and then looked at me again.

- Yeah? You're alone.

- Bro, what are you doing? Don't be so tsundere, you could get offended.

- You're not telling me it's normal in this world for a brother to marry his sister...?

- I'm not sure what 'for this world' means, but yes, it's quite common. - replied Flash. - Well, no one is forcing anyone, it's just the way it usually works out.

- Yeah, I see... A world full of perverts, awesome. Penny, you weren't seriously talking about marriage and children between us, blood relatives, brother and sister, people who came from the same woman, before being spermatozoa of the same man, were you?

- Bro, that look in your eye scares me, put your pupils back on!

.....

It took me about half an hour and two fruit smoothies to calm down and get my pupils back. Perhaps the latter helped more than the time, for when your brains freeze first, followed by a nice thaw, it's relaxing.

- Now, Penny. - I'm going to regret bringing this up any further, aren't I? - How long has this thing been on your mind?

- By thing, you mean our wedding?

- If you want my pupils to stay where they are, I'll use the term "thing," please.

- Eleven, twelve years old, I think? When the tro-

- No details!

- Getting C's. Did you have something else in mind? - How can my sister, with such innocence, look at me and talk about incest with such calmness?! - Anyway, that's when I wondered why I was distracted. Well. Anyway, I decided to marry you.

- Okay, let's skip your explanations, which don't explain anything, but create more questions. Why me? Weren't there any other guys around you?

- A few, but there were. - Penny blushed slightly and looked away. - But you're better.

- How so?! I'm your brother, you barely have to put up with me! - Is a simple request for a healthy family relationship too much for this world?! - Do you know what they're saying about me on a couple of sites on the internet? Ugh, and what they call me.

- So what if they tweet about you being picked to be on their retard show, who cares? - Let's just say I talked about it.

- Hey! I actually love "Bridegroom for the Avengers" I haven't missed a single season! - outraged Flash, who's still with us.

When I went to this meeting, I was afraid that my sister might be okay with a relationship in which she would be nothing more than a thing. In reality, it turns out she wants to marry me, her brother! How do I get it into her head loli that this is complete nonsense and she, unlike her body - here a long time ago need to get over it, it's time to grow up already!

- It's decided! - I hit the table. - I'm gonna find you a boyfriend! A cool, smart, successful guy who will make me look like a pathetic excuse for a human being. And then you'll leave this delusional thing behind!

- Don't call our future wedding and kids a delusional thing! - Penny punched the table back, nearly breaking it. How long had she been this strong? She hadn't been this angry before, though. - It doesn't matter who you find or how much better than you he turns out to be! After all, no matter how nasty, unfeeling, self-absorbed, mediocre looking brother is, I'll still choose you!

- Little one! - I had to speak through my teeth out of anger.

- Fool!..

Deciding not to continue this stupid argument, I turned around and walked away, thinking of candidates that would be suitable for the role of Penny's dead-shit boyfriend.

**Penny**

- It's annoying. - and what's more annoying is that I don't know what went through his head. Did I say something weird?! He's the one who was trying to hurt my feelings with his reaction.

- Penny! - Flash grabbed my hands with a determined look, I almost forgot she was here too. - Don't give up! I'll support you and help you in any way I can!

- Thank you, Flash! I'm sure as an ex-girlfriend, you must have some advice for me!

- Ex... - Flash lay down on the table with a blank expression, tired, I guess.

Whoa! What is this?! All this time, while I thought our marriage was a done deal, my brother didn't even think about it?! So instead of trying to look my best in front of him and seduce him in every possible way, I was acting casual and abusing my little sister status in every possible way...?!

- It's over. - Suddenly feeling weak, I lay down next to Flash. - It seems I can't even be helped by my ex's advice now....

- Ex...

**Silver. Mutant School**

When I woke up, I found myself in the room all alone. Apparently Parker and his unburner had finished cleaning up and gone somewhere.

- Grrr... - The thought of them leaving together made me bite my fingernail. I had to pack, or he'd be yelling at me for not packing when he got back.

I reached for my suitcase and got ready to pack when I noticed a note under the door. It asked me to open the door, which I did with the care of a professional mercenary.

- What? - behind the door was a rather enormous cake. On which was another note apologising to Peter and asking him to take the cake inside.

Reluctantly, I did. The cake was quite heavy, even with the trolley taken into account. Another oddity, it sounded like music was coming from it.

Bringing my ear closer out of curiosity, I did hear music, electronica to be exact. The kind of electronica they used to tectonics to. Just as I decided to remove my ear, the music started to build up and....

*explosion*
