《Relief of Guilt》Uncertainty
Advertisement
The afternoon was coming to an end in Titanville, and many Titans were dismissed from the newest School. Moments after all the students left, Godzilla and her friends exited the school.
"Well everyone. I have to go grade these tests. So I guess I'll see you all later." Godzilla says as she began walking towards her castle when Zilla stopped her with a firm grip on the tip of her tail.
"Not yet, me and Komodithrax are going to treat the rest of ya to one of our spa dates." Zilla smirked.
"Wow, what's the occasion?" Otachi asked.
"We have some special news." Zilla glanced at Komodithrax. "And with the school thriving as well as our businesses, it seems like a suitable evening to treat ourselves."
"Y-Yay." Titanosaurus stammered, while Gojirin (Not Godzilla's Sibling. Merely another of the Gojira Species.) squealed in delight.
Godzilla gave a genuine smile, she was already looking forward to her six-month anniversary with King Ghidorah, and now she got to treat herself to a relaxing spa outing with her best friends.
The six elements of nature entered the spa and eventually stepped into the hot tub. As soon as all of them stepped in, Gojirin zipped to Zilla and Komodithrax's side.
"Tell us the news!" Gojirin begged with big blue eyes. Zilla gave a soft laugh as she ruffled Gojirin's scales.
"Settle down and I'll tell ya." Zilla waited. "Me and Komodithrax are gettin' married."
"OH MY-" Otachi quickly placed a claw over Gojirin's excited response. Gojirin rolled her eyes and kept quiet, but her tail wouldn't stop twitching.
"I'm so happy for you two." Titanosaurus smiled.
"I get to do the Aerial Show at the wedding right?" Otachi grinned when Zilla slowly nodded. "Awesome!"
"I'm sure that lots of titans will show up for the first wedding of one of the Elements!" Godzilla grinned. "I wonder if anything happens when an Element gets married? And to another Element? This'll be a fun research project!"
"Don't get too distracted, I'm sure that you haven't made time to get your gal a gift yet." Zilla laughed. "Normally, titans wait to celebrate one-year anniversaries, but I remember you telling me how excited King Ghidorah was about this."
"O-Oh, right." Godzilla smiled nervously, her eyes darting everywhere.
"Something the matter, darling?" Komodithrax asked.
"Well, I've been...thinking about their immortality...and mine." Godzilla frowned, still handling the realisation after all this time. "And I really like her, I do. But I can't help but wonder if I our relationship is Am I only dating her because their an Alpha, and I'll never have to see her die?"
"I...don't mean to get so morbid." Godzilla added. "It's just that Ichi, Ni, and San initiated so many things that I wonder if I truly wanted this relationship, or if it was just-"
"Meant to happen?"
Everyone stopped talking and looked at Komodithrax, who just realised that she had spoke up.
"Oh, I'm sorry." Komodithrax blushed. "I just get what you're saying dear. After all, King Ghidorah was the one to accept you as a student, mentor you and answer your letters, and most importantly, the one to make you an Alpha in the first place."
"But look at me at Zilla, we come from completely different lives." Komodithrax motioned her claw towards her fiance. "We weren't meant to happen, we were meant to be. No matter the circumstances, we were meant to find each other. I'm certain of it."

"Don't overthink it Godzilla, you literally have eternity to be sure of your emotions." Otachi rolled her eyes.
"Fair enough, I certainly don't want to get you in a panic attack over it." Komodithrax swam to Godzilla and hugged her bicep. "Long-distance relationships can make a Titan over-analyse, and you tend to do that anyway."
"Y-Yeah, that's true." Godzilla chuckled. "Besides, it'll be a few weeks before we even see each other again. I have plenty of time to relax and think it over."
After Godzilla settled down, blissfully unaware of the night's further events, the six friends resumed talking about the future wedding until they all left. However, there was a tall and bright figure of gold standing out in the dusk of Titanville, standing before the Six Elements.
King Ghidorah.
They stood before Godzilla with a bouquet of pastel white and lavender flowers, her mane flowing beautifully over her shoulders and her gentle smile was enough to make any titans's heart race.
And Godzilla's heart was racing, from anxiety rather than love. She looked at her friends, who seemed to have no idea of this surprise, before looking at her boyfriends.
"Queen Godzilla." Her name rolled off of Ghidorah's tongues so pleasurably. "May we perhaps, steal you away for the evening? I'm sure that you won't regret it."
Komodithrax was already coming up with an excuse to save Godzilla from an overwhelming choice to make, but Godzilla smiled at her before looking at King Ghidorah.
"I'm sure I won't either, Ghidorah." Godzilla smiled affectionately, levitating the bouquet with her magic. "Komodithrax, would mind bringing this to Minya and asking him to find a proper place for it in my room."
"Of course, you two have a most lovely evening!" Komodithrax took the the bouquet and waved them both goodbye. As soon as the two walked off Godzilla teleported her lavender royal dress gloves and crown to her as Titanosaurus asked.
"You sure that she'll be fine?" Titanosaurus whispered.
"I should hope so, we'll have her back no matter what happens." Zilla promised. "I-"
"Girls!"
The Five Elements looked at Rodan and Angirus, who looked exhausted as hell from running.
"You have no idea who showed up at the train station!"
"Gee, seems like we're walking really far away from Titanville." Godzilla laughed nervously. Ghidorah looked back at her with a warm smile.
"It'll be a bit longer, would you like to sit on our back and relax your legs?" Ichi asked. Godzilla nodded and Ghidorah stopped and crouched down to let Godzilla sit.
"We're going to Alielot, it's faster this way instead of using the train." Ichi, Ni, and San frowned at the last word. "Hold onto our necks, we're about to go faster than the speed of light!"
Godzilla did so, and in a sudden mind-numbing second, they were in Alielot.
"Wow, how did you do that?" Godzilla asked.
"To be honest, we teleported us." They admitted. "We had to do some walking first to make the teleportation spell easier, without the mountains in the way."
"Oh, right."
Queen Godzilla and King Ghidorah made their way to a mansion-sized restaurant that had a delicious aroma emitting from the inside.
"You'll have to thank Komodithrax and Gojirin when you get back home, they truly helped Alielot develop a more diverse taste for food." Ni pointed out. "This place specialises in over 200 kinds of sushi roll, and several different kinds of salad. We don't have to pay a single cent, so you can taste-test as many as you'd like."

Godzilla was still staring in awe of the big restaurant as they walked in and were placed in a booth big enough for six regular-sized titan's.
"You d-didn't have to do this." Godzilla stammered. "Just because I'm an Alpha, doesn't mean that I should be taking food for free in Alielot."
"Nonsense, Goji. We've gone several centuries without having to pay a single cent." Ghidorah winked. "Alpha's like us are simply too busy for such silly mortal things."
Godzilla kept a small smile, deciding that she would at least give the waiter a generous tip that'd make Komodithrax proud.
She tried to order as little in variety as possible, but King Ghidorah went on to order 30 different kinds of roll to try out.
He's not being selfish right? I mean, she oversees of the Alien Kingdom, so she deserves it...?
"What's on your sophisticated mind, Godzilla?" Ghidorah wrapped a big wing around their love, pulling her closer.
Godzilla blushed and her posture sagged slightly. They tried not to be publicly affectionate, since only Godzilla's best friends and their fellow Alpha's knew about their relationship.
"I'm thinking that you shouldn't keep your wing on my back for long." Godzilla whispered gingerly.
"Oh, alright." Ghidorah moved their wing back. "But we can't hide our love from our respective Kingdoms for long, we-"
Godzilla squeaked, pulling further away from her former teacher.
"Oh, we didn't mean to..." Ghidorah frowned. "You don't have to say it back, but we love you Godzilla. It tore us apart to send you to Titanville, I cried for days. We wanted to make you an Alpha right away, despite the fact that you hardly had any friends and you weren't ready. But we waited patiently, to give you the gift of being with us forever."
"Wait, you only made me an alpha so I can be with you?" Godzilla spoke up.
"N-No." Ghidorah lied. "That wasn't the main reason, you're smarter and more talented than any titan we've mentored. It was very important to make you immortal. I mean, look at all you've done! You've accomplished so much, creating the School for diverse creatures and saving the world time and time again. Being with you is just a bonus."
"Oh." Godzilla blushed, happily reflecting on her accomplishments. "Thank you, Ghidorah. Y'know, there is three more kinds of roll I also wanted to try."
Ghidorah's eyes brightened as they called for the waiter, happy to put their girlfriend's mind at ease. The evening went by more peacefully. And even if Godzilla didn't say 'I love you' back, King Ghidorah was content with the surprise anniversary dinner.
The two Alpha's were almost done eating when a Firebird seemingly made of Molten Rock slammed the doors open and looked straight at Godzilla.
"There you are!" Rodan shouted. "I've been flying everywhere to find you!"
"Is something wrong?" Godzilla jumped over Ghidorah to face her former student.
"I don't think so, but you need to see this." Rodan admitted. "There's someone new in town."
"Okay, let's get going. Ghidorah, this has been a great-"
"We're coming too, we want to make sure no-titan needs assistance from more than 1 Alpha." Ghidorah decided. Before the two fire benders could respond, Ghidorah put their wings around both of them and teleported all three of them to Titanville.
"He's waiting for you at the castle." Rodan added. "Last time we saw him, he seemed apologetic for his actions, but he wanted to make sure that he's...allowed to be here."
"Another reformed titan, eh?" Godzilla chuckled. "Let's see who...
Titanus Kong stood next to the castle door, lacking any of his usual armour. Instead opting for a T-Shirt and jeans that really defined his muscles. Seeing the rest of his exposed and thick brown fur made Godzilla blush unexpectedly.
"K-Kong?" stepped closer. After the wave of shock rolled over, Godzilla bolted towards him and lifted him into a hug. "Kong! You're finally here, I thought I'd never see you again!"
"I'm...here to stay too." Kong smiled. "The first time you asked, I wanted to stay here in Ponyville. But, the truth is, I didn't say no because I wanted to announce the Storm King's defeat..."
"I said no because I felt guilty." Kong admitted. "I felt horrible about what I did to you and your friends. I didn't think I deserved to be anywhere near such a loving community. I didn't think that any number of apologies would make it better."
"But Cranium wanted to see this place, and I missed...all of you." Kong looked away. "Plus, I heard of a trio of purpose finders that could help me find my true calling-"
"You don't have a..." Godzilla held him at arm's length and looked at Kong's face as he shook his head. "Oh,of course they can help you! They've started running out of titans to help in Titanville, so they'll be really happy to help! Where is Cranium anyway?"
"He's in the castle with Minya." Kong answered. "Do you know any really good inns here? Might as well stay at one while I find a house to live in."
"Nonsense! You can stay in one of the decorative guest rooms in my castle." Godzilla smiled. "It'll give us time to catch up."
"I don't, uh, want to be a burden." Kong admitted. "You sure it won't be a problem?"
"I'm positive!" Godzilla responded over Ghidorah's barely audible growls. "In fact, you should enrol in the School! It'll help you in your honesty, kindness, loyalty, and so much more."
"Maybe I should, thanks-"
"We shall get going Godzilla, but thank you for the wonderful night." Ghidorah smiled.
"Oh, of-"
Before Godzilla could respond, King Ghidorah pressed their lips against their girlfriend's purple ones. Kong was about to turn around and leave, but Ghidorah opened their eyes while Godzilla's eyes were still closed. They glared at Kong out of the corner of their eyes, making their possessive message clear.
Kong looked away, and Godzilla was the first to pull away after a few seconds. King Ghidorah kissed her forehead, and teleported out of sight.
"I had no idea that two of the Alpha's were dating each other." Kong smirked.
"Oh, we've only been dating for six months." Godzilla explained. "I directed a play about them, and we first kissed in the meadow when she ran off. I had lied about how bad of an actor they were, but I realised how much I mean to her...a-and vice versa."
"Well, I'm happy for you." Kong whispered, keeping a smile. "I should probably go to bed, I've got a lot on my mind."
"Oh, okay!" Godzilla grinned. "Let me show you the guest rooms."
The two titans walked into the castle, and Kong was quick to say goodnight to Godzilla once he found a suitable room, closing the door and leaning against it.
Kong started shaking, digging his fingers into the carpet. He should've known Godzilla was dating somebody else, she was Queen Godzilla.
I'll be fine, I'll be fine. I'm not ready for anything bigger than friendship anyways.
Everything will be okay.
