Alexia giggled, a slightly mischievous smile on her face. "Well, Ai, Charisse, what kind of friend am I to let you two not spend this day together!"
Their scrolls beeped. Alexia had sent both of them a special digital ticket, courtesy of the Royal family.
"Any movie theater and restaurant will serve you for free today! My gift to you! Go on then, have fun!"
Still giggling, she finished dressing and opened the door. "Sorry I'm late, Alfred!"
Thorin grunted. "Ah, it's fine, boy! Go have fun, far be it for me to stop you!"
Nora pouted. "Aaaah. I wanted to break his legs. Including the the third one."
Her father laughed loudly. "And you might get your chance, princess! We'll be here all week, boy, so if you ever feel like training with old Thorin...don't hesutate!"
Mina chewed on her fish. "Oh, yeah. I din't get to fight you, right? I think Sal did...eh, but I definitely remember fighting her."
She nodded at Kazumi.
"...I had to work harder than usual. It was really tiring.."
"Didn't even succeed in killing you..."
She said that very casually.
"Eh... I'm right here silly." Alexia would hear Alfred's snark-dipped voice from behind her. He already entered the room as he didn't know how much time he could actually be on those window ledges without falling when he saw Charisse and Ai acting like lovebirds.
"Man you're gullible." He chuckled and showed his signature grin.
"You can't even notice the difference between someone sneaking into your room through your window and someone behind a door? Might wanna improve your hearing Lexi."
"And yes. I saw it all. Aaaaaaaaaaaallllllll." Al's smug smile widened as he jokingly commented to Alexia. He wanted something to put seeing the other two in the room act like they did off of his head, something refreshing like Alexia being angry and embarrased.

Al tried to narrowly do a back step but still felt the brunt of the kick.
"Owwww your legs have some damn reach Lexi." He said as he barely managed to keep his balance.
"Anyway." He said while still in pain. "Where are we going?" He coughed although he seemed to overexaggerate how much the pain was affecting him. He was surprised by her strength but that was nothing compared to his bodyguard days.
Lexi's eyes widened as she registered what she had dine. She was utterly horrified.
"I'm sorry! I didn't mean to-. Are you okay?! Do you need an ice pack?! I'm sorry!"
She was panicking right now. Well. What a way to start a date.
....Wait! This wasn't a date! Right?! Great. Now she was both guilty and blushing.
Life. It hated her.
Al's eyes widened in fear as she mentioned ice.
"Hell no do not put that frosty thing anywhere near my crotch." He said angrily as he glared at her.
Quickly regaining his composure and finding balance. He tried to speak again.
"Eh...I mean, I'll survive Lexi don't worry. What kind of bodyguard can't take a hit from his master right?" He tried to hide whatever pain was left under a smug smirk.
"... Anyway, we're good to go now, so let's go."
Ghatz smiled and nodded. "Sounds good Thorin. I'll be back tomorrow, then! And then Nora can try and break two of my legs. Third one's off limits." He then chuckled, before walking over to Veronica and hopping into the backseat.
"Sorry guys. This girl is just... awesome. Strong, funny, and she understands that hammers are the best weapon ever!" He blushed slightly and grinned, looking at his companions. "You think I got a shot with her?"
Song of the Week: Find You by ZEDDGlen didn't particularly care about Ghatz's crush and was more than happy to share this with the young man "I dinnae know about Mack and Wulfric, but I dinnae particularly care about whether or not you have a chance with the lass. If you want to woo her, do it instead of asking us about it." After a brief pause, Glen added "I cannae say that I'm the best person to take courting advice from though, seeing as my marriage was arranged by my parents and my wife's."

Ai ran her finger down Charisse's arm this time.
"It's-a-secret," she said, melodically.
Then, she pulled away.
"Thanks for that, Lexi, but it's just such a shame that I have no one to go with. What a waste! I guess I'll just be reading in my room, then," she said. "Have fun out there, Lexi. You too, Noa. You should wake Noiri up and do something nice for her today."
She stepped out of the room. Her tail was swishing playfully behind her as she left.
Charisse dived down and grabbed at Ai's legs instinctively.
"I-I'll go with you! I-I mean it's not l-like I have someone to go with or anything!" Charisse managed out before succumbing again to the sheer embarrassment at her own actions.
A dinner and a movie with Ai sounded like heaven. Or whatever the Mistrali equivalent of that was

"Gimme your pants.. and now your other pants"Ai crouched down and flicked Charisse's forehead.
"But Charisse. Aren't we just friends right now? Lovers' Day is for lovers."
Ai stood up and extracted her legs from Charisse's grasp, then shrugged.
"You must think of me as desperate, that I'd go out on Lovers' Day with my friend, huh?" she said.
She hid a mischievous smile behind her hand. She thought that perhaps Charisse just needed a little more time to work up the courage.
"But I accept. Shall we go?"

Ghatz looked at Glen, puzzled. "You? Married? Huh." He raised an eyebrow. "That's really unexpected..." He scratched his head, confused. But before he said anything else, he sat and thought. He opened the window and said "Hey, Thorin! Do you think Nora can come with us? It'd be really fun to have her along!"
Song of the Week: Find You by ZEDDWith a sigh, Glen said "Not by my choice, but aye, I am married. Kate, my wife, and my parents decided to marry us to help stabilize the relationships between our clans. She's a pretty lass, a mighty fine warrior and someone who I love quite a bit, but I cannae say that I want to deal with the married life quite yet. I'm glad I've got about four years away from that aspect of my life, which is one of the reasons I was eager to enroll here."
Charisse's eyes gained a vibrant energetic sparkle and she nuzzled Ai's leg ecstatically. She hopped up quickly from her prone position, a smile decorating her still blushing face.
This smile didn't last too long, however, as she soon frowned. "I do not actually know of any restaurants to go with to. Are you having ideas?"
Charisse would certainly need that time to build up courage. She had crossed the first hurdle, but the rest would become exponentially difficult. While she was fearless and brave on the field of battle, her behavior on the fields of love could not be more different.
"Gimme your pants.. and now your other pants"Alexia looked at Alfred, a worried expression on her face. Why did he react so strongly?
....No. It wasn't her place to pry.
"Olympos Tower. I want to get a good look at it."
The two soon boarded an airbus down to the city of Vale. The city had obviously been decorsted for today. Streamers, booths, street performers...The Lover's Day Festival was in full swing.
It was at that moment that Lexi saw a very familiar face.
"Alexia, is that you?" The girl was definitely a noble.
"Weiss?!"
Thorin glared at Ghatz. "Are you insane?! Let my little girl get drunk with a bunch of hormonal saps? Never going to happen! You're lucky Nora likes you, or I would have bashed your head in!"
Mina stared at Kazumi, a puzzled expression on her face. She turned to Braun and asked sincerely:
"Is she alright? Or is she a bit touched in the head?"
As it turns out, getting something done might be tougher than Noa originally thought.
"Noa..." Noiri muttered weakly as she rolled over to face her friend. Her face was red and there was a faint heat emanating from her body. From the looks of it, Noiri appears to have caught a fever. On Lover's Day.
"Why does everything have to loop back to YGO?" -Guy who ruined YGOGhatz looked at Thorin blankly for a moment. "Uh... okay... I didn't really think that through all that well. Sorry." He then looked at Nora. "Wait what? You like me? I thought you wanted to break my legs?" He looked very confused. And he was. He was normally a rather straight shooter when it came to how he felt, and at this point, he couldn't tell whether or not she was serious about the leg breaking.

Song of the Week: Find You by ZEDD"Aw, Dust. Well, no two ways 'bout it." Noa took her cap off, fingers brushing across the scar on her forehead briefly before she shrugged off her jacket as well. "Looks like Ahm gonna hafta learn how ta play nurse, too."
She sat down at Noiri's side and placed her hand against her partner's forehead. Hmm, yeah. Wasn't as bad as the episodes Noa had back when she was younger, but it was still wasn't any good. Since that was the case....
"Ya need help takin' yer clothes off?"
For once, it wasn't as bad as it sounded.

"Other day? You'll have to forgive me, but I don't think we've ever met." Braun said with his ever present smile, shooting a look to Kazumi every now and then. What's up with her?
