As the day progressed, Jack's family continued to explore the island, captivated by its otherworldly beauty. Jack and Ponis walked together, their conversation flowing easily as they got to know each other better.

Liana and Luna were particularly fascinated by the Dial shops and their unique, shell-like devices. They eagerly listened as Ponis explained their various uses, marveling at the ingenuity of the Skypieans and their technology.

Jack had too many berries to spend, which he earned from hunting pirates, so he purchased tens of every possible Dial and stored them into the Pocket Space to experiment on them later.

After having fun and ensuring the girls were content with their travel, Jack sent them back to the Pocket Space. He even took Ponis with him to show her the isolated island, the forest, his mansion, and the creatures living on the island.

Upon setting foot on the island inside the Pocket Space, Ponis started to cry due to feeling the earth under her feet. It was always her dream to visit Upper Yard, but she never could.

Jack looked at Ponis, his eyes filled with understanding and sympathy. "I know this isn't Upper Yard," he said gently, "but I hope this can give you a small taste of what it's like to feel the earth beneath your feet."

Ponis smiled through her tears, nodding. "Thank you, Jack. This means more to me than you can imagine."

As they explored the island, Aria and Robin played together, their laughter filling the air. Amelia, Olvia, Liana, Luna, Sophie, Isabella, and Titi followed along, admiring the beauty of the island and the wildlife that inhabited it. Ponis marveled at the lush landscape, savoring the sensation of walking on solid ground.

Jack showed Ponis the various features of the island, including his luxurious mansion and the diverse array of creatures that called the island home. He also introduced her to the unique plant life, which he had carefully cultivated over the years.

Ponis was amazed by the island's beauty and thanked Jack for sharing this special place with her. "I never imagined I would have the chance to experience something like this," she said, her eyes shining with gratitude. "I'll never forget this day."

Jack, seeing Ponis's emotional reaction to experiencing the earth beneath her feet, felt an urge to make her a part of his life. He looked at her and offered, "Why don't you come with me? I travel the world, and Titi joined me to see the world. I can take you with me, you can stay in the Pocket Space, and live with us."

Ponis looked at him, her eyes filled with surprise and uncertainty. "Are you sure, Jack? I wouldn't want to impose on you and your family."

Jack's face remained calm, but his eyes took on that gentle, calm blue hue. "I wouldn't offer if I didn't mean it, Ponis. There's something about you that I can't ignore, and I'd hate to separate from you."

Ponis hesitated for a moment, weighing her options. She glanced at Aria, who was happily playing with Robin, and then at the other women, who seemed content and at ease in their surroundings.

"I... I would be honored to join you, Jack. Thank you for the opportunity."

Jack nodded, his eyes still that soft, calm blue. "Welcome to the family, Ponis."

As they continued to explore the island, Aria and Robin frolicked together, their laughter filling the air. Amelia, Olvia, Liana, Luna, Sophie, Isabella, and Titi followed along, admiring the beauty of the island and the wildlife that inhabited it. Ponis marveled at the lush landscape, savoring the sensation of walking on solid ground.

At one point, Aria stumbled and scraped her knee, letting out a small cry of pain. Jack immediately rushed to her side, his eyes full of concern. "Princess, are you okay?" he asked softly, examining her injury.

Aria sniffled, trying to be brave despite the pain. "It hurts, Daddy," she admitted, her voice wavering.

Jack gently picked her up, holding her close to his chest. "Let's get you cleaned up, Princess," he murmured, carrying her back to the mansion with the others following behind.

Ponis watched the exchange, her heart swelling with affection for Jack and his daughter. She knew she had made the right decision in joining them.

Inside the mansion, Jack cleaned and bandaged Aria's scraped knee, his touch gentle and soothing. Aria clung to him, her eyes filled with trust and love.

"Thank you, Daddy," she whispered, her voice full of gratitude.

Jack pressed a tender kiss to her forehead. "Anything for you, Princess," he murmured, his eyes that soft, calm blue.

Later that evening, as the family gathered in the mansion's living room, they chatted and shared stories with Ponis. Aria, now feeling better, curled up in Jack's lap, listening intently to the tales of their adventures.

Ponis, feeling more at ease with the group, opened up about her life in Skypiea and the challenges she had faced. The women listened with empathy and understanding, offering words of support and encouragement.

Titi, having pushed past her initial jealousy, engaged in the conversation with genuine interest. "Your strength is admirable, Ponis. I'm glad you'll be joining us on our journey."

Ponis smiled at Titi, feeling a sense of camaraderie with the other women. "Thank you, Titi. I'm looking forward to the adventures ahead."

As the evening progressed, Robin, having reached her limit, grew fussy and tired. Olvia picked her up, gently rocking her to sleep. "I think it's time for bed, little one," she whispered, her voice soft and soothing.

Robin's eyes fluttered closed as she snuggled against her mother, her small hand gripping Olvia's shirt. "Night-night," she mumbled, her voice barely audible.

Olivia smiled warmly at her daughter, kissing her forehead before carrying her off to bed. The rest of the family began to wind down as well, realizing that the day's events had taken their toll on them.

Jack looked down at Aria, who had fallen asleep in his lap, her face peaceful and content. Carefully, he scooped her up in his arms, mindful not to wake her. "I'll take Princess to bed," he murmured to the others.

Amelia, Liana, Luna, Sophie, Isabella, and Titi shared warm smiles and began to prepare for bed themselves. Ponis hesitated, unsure of where she would sleep.

Luna noticed her uncertainty and approached her with a reassuring smile. "Come on, Ponis. I'll show you where you can sleep. We've got plenty of room."

Ponis, grateful for the offer, followed Luna down the hallway to a cozy bedroom. "Thank you, Luna. I really appreciate your kindness."

Luna smiled, her eyes warm and welcoming. "It's no problem, Ponis. We're happy to have you here."

With that, the family settled in for the night, each finding comfort and rest in their new home.
