A/N: takes place after ep. 24 of Kiddy Grade (oh and in nooo way involves Kiddy Grade 2, that series is dead to me as far as I'm concerned...)
Now...ONWARD!
"You're joking...right?"
"ECLAIR!"
The brunette pulled her head back with a repulsed look on her face.
"I'm sorry...it's just that..."
"That what?"
"It looks like something some upper class housewife would be wearing...don't you have anything else?"
the younger team member sighed heavily. "Eclair, you asked if you could borrow something of mine for the show; the least you could do is accept what i gave you."
"I'm sorry Lumiere it's just that...frills really don't look good on me."
"ALL elegant ladies wear things like this!"
"Well...it just isn't me."
She reached over and snatched up one of her own formal dress. She quickly slipped it over her head and slid her arms through while a fuming Lumiere watched. she grabbed an ornamented clip off of her dresser and clipped it on a part of hair on the right side.
"There! Ta da!"
Lumiere let out a deep breath. "Honestly Eclair, if you were planning to wear something of your own; you should have said so from the beginning."
"Yeah well, I wanted to see if you had anything good first. Now come on, let's go!"
Lumiere shook her head as she watched the retreating girls' back. "You're so silly sometimes, it's not like my wardrobe would've changed between the last few times you looked..."
"did you say something, Lumiere?"
"Huh? No nothing."
Eclair switched her gaze up toward the night sky as they made their way outside. "I have feeling tonight's gonna be a great night."
Lumiere followed her gaze. "Hmm, i think i agree with you. Perfect for the opera house."
Eclair cringed at that. "Tell me again, why I agreed to go with you."
"Simple, because the last day we had off, I went to a place you liked. We agreed to take turns picking places, remember?"
Eclair sighed heavily. "Right, right..."

"Man! This is so boring! I don't see why we have to get stuck with the night shift anyways!"
Un-oh turned around away from the monitor to face his more stoic partner who stood in the corner.
"It can't be helped. Was it not you who said you wanted a shift after dark?"
The emerald-haired ES member shook his head slowly. "Yeah...but that was cuz i thought it'd be more excited. I didn't think I'd be sitting here with nothing to do..."
"The shift changes in two more hours."
"I know that, but it kinda seems like light-years away..."
When he realized his older partner had nothing more to say to him, he broke the silence with a loud sigh. "Well, guess it can't be helped. Hey, you think they'd mind of one of us when out to get something to eat?"
"You are not suppose to leave your post at any cost."
"Alright, alright, forget I asked..."
A-ou headed toward the door.
"wha...Wait, where're you going?"
"To get something to eat. Is that not what you wanted?"
Un-oh blinked then smiled. "Hurry it up, okay? I don't think I can deal with this boring job long by myself.

"Come ON, Cesario!"
The little pink-haired girl tried her hardest to pry her older partner from the vehicle; pulling his hand with all her strength.
"You....promised....to go...to...ugh...this Italian...ngh...restaurant with me...Ahh!"
She landed on her bottom on the sidewalk. Looking down at her scabbed palms that caught her own weight. She stood up and rubbed her bruised behind.
"Ouch, that's gonna leave a mark."
The slam of a car door broke her from her thoughts.
"Huh? Cesario! Open up!"
She banged on the window as she saw him sitting in there staring straight ahead.
"Ugh! You can be such a jerk sometimes! Cesario!"
He turned her direction startling her. She then saw the black sun-visor glass slowly rising to cover him from view. After that she heard a click of the door locking.
"What? Cesario! Come on, this isn't fair!"
She banged on the window once more.
"Come on, I know you can hear me...FINE! We'll have Chinese! Just open the door, okay?"
The window visor came down and with a click Cesario opened the door and scooted a bit to make room for his partner.
"Jeez! You and Chinese! I swear..."
She stopped in mid-sentence as she noticed two figures coming out of the opera house next door...two recognizable figures.
"Clairy! Lumy! Is that you? Hey!"
She waved in their direction which the two girls seemed to be engaged to what looked like a slight bicker.
"Uh oh...looks like Clairy isn't too happy about going to the Opera house with Lumy..."
She switched her gaze toward Cesario, casting him an angry glare.
"But at least she put up with it...unlike SOME people I know!"
Cesario upturned his nose a shrugged, earning a grunt from his younger partner.
"Ugh! You're such a pain in the neck sometimes!"
A/N: pardon me if the spelling is crap. That's never been my forte. But anyways, reviews please! ^^
