Hello guys! I believe I'm almost done editing my cross-over and moving on to the next chapter. Hooray! But, before I could even attempt to touch it, Bravely Second came out, and I fell in love with, well, Yu's and Magnolia's love. They are so adorable! Anyway, to celebrate its release, this is a multi-chapter story about the Luxendarc crew a few months after the events of Bravely Second. Forgive me if some of the events are wrong, since I barely understand Japanese, and therefore, did not understand some of the situations. As for the title, if you can figure out the two letters that fill into the beginning of the last two words, I applaud you. Put your guesses in the review section. It will be revealed at the end of this story. And now...without further ado, let's start!

Updated A.N.: Since the English names are released, I would like to make it clear that all names are based off the Japanese game. If the plot happens to get altered during translation, all plot references are to the Japanese version. Thank you.

Disclaimer: I do not own Bravely Second, nor do I own the characters. Plot is purely mine. Spoilers abound.

Chapter 1: The Sweet That Delivers.

For Tiz Arrior, the greatest shock to him was Agnès's proclamation to be his wife, and he was never more ecstatic in his life. In the midst of his overflowing happiness, he swept her off her feet and ran merrily to the inn, shouting to its residents of the joy he just felt. Agnès only blushed quietly in his arms, toying with the pendant, transfixed into a stunning silver ring.

Their wedding, unfortunately, was made into a public event. Edea took it upon herself to create the perfect wedding for the country bumpkin (although she can't call him that while he has that crazy hair), and she spent hours upon hours planning every detail to the nitty-gritty, even resorting to dragging Magnolia down every cake shop to find the most "fashionabluuuhh" wedding cake she could afford. Being new to this sort of thing, Magnolia took eager notes as they searched, while silently wishing for the same when she gets engaged.

After failing to find a suitable cake, Edea and Magnolia packed up for a journey to find their former baking enemy, Panettone. Their trip led them to the Florem Gardens, where they stumbled upon Amy and Panettone strolling through the various flower patches. Amy held a basket filled with little purple flowers (Edea knew there was a name for them...Tiz mentioned it once before…), while Panettone energetically explained his plans for the latest sweets. Upon seeing the two blondes, Amy smiled wholeheartedly.

"Ah, Edea, Magnolia. What are you doing here?" she greeted. At the sound of her voice, both travelers slumped down onto the grass floor, groaning in relief. The hosts gasped and started to splutter in worry, dropping down to their knees to inspect the cause of their visitors' exhaustion.

Party Chat: The Quest for Cake.

Edea: "Thank you for letting us in at such short notice!"

Amy: "No problem at all! I guess you could consider it as a beginning to new bonds."

Magnolia: "What a lovely place you have here~ I wished I've come visit it sooner."

Panettone: "Well, you're welcome anytime! Speaking of which, you two look like you went through tiring measures to get here? Might I ask why?"

Edea: "We're on a quest for cake!"

Amy and Panettone: "Quest for cake?"

Magnolia: "Only Edea would dubbed our struggles as that..."

...

"Wah! This tea is amazing!" Edea squealed as she gulped down her third cup. Amy returned a cheeky grin in exchange. "Thank you. This place is perfect for experimenting different blends. It seems like a new combination is found every day. Ah, darling, can you get us some strawberry cake?" The baker only bowed slightly before going to the counter to prepare their plates. While the two girls chatted away, Magnolia sat staring at her cup of tea, a bothered expression threatening to show.

"Magnolia, what's the matter? Something on your mind?" The mentioned girl jumped as Panettone sat down next to her. A plate of cake was placed on the table in front of her. She stared at the dessert oddly, like the presence of it was bringing back nostalgic feelings. Magnolia shook away the thought, and proceeded to munch on the strawberry cake.

"Delicious! I wish I could make something like this!" Magnolia praised. The patissier chuckled, gesturing over to the display lined with various baked goods. "If you want, I can teach you and add them to your Patissier asterisk." Magnolia physically brightened at this. "Good gravy! I look forward to it!"

Edea coughed into her fist. "Anyway, we came here to look for a wedding cake." Panettone tilted his head in thought. "For whom, may I ask?" Edea giggled before answering, "For Tiz and Agnès's wedding!" The news hit them both hard, for Amy dropped her teacup, while Panettone recoiled in shock, his hat falling onto the floor.

"What?! Since when?!" they both exclaimed. Now it was Magnolia's turn to giggle at their surprise. "A few months after our battle against Providence, I believe." Panettone sheepishly rubbed his head. "Well then, I believe this does call for a special job. I might as well get started." He stood up and rushed to the back, humming a questionably familiar tune. Amy spiritedly expressed her congrats, retelling the story of how she and Panettone first met to Edea, while Magnolia donned her Patissier asterisk, making small talk with her mentor about the multiple steps to baking.

When the cake was finished a few days later, it was planted onto Yu's dining table, towering over the occupants in the room. Yu and Magnolia stared in wonder, while Edea failed miserably to stop the drool coming out of her mouth.

"Wow...will we actually finish this?" Yu asked, still staring up at the tip, which was adorned with a white chocolate fence surrounded by tiny red roses. Two chocolate figures stood proudly under the arch, sharing the same white color as the rest of the delectable delight.

"Mrgrgr...Why can't I eat this already?!" Edea whined in frustration, her stance ready with the aura of a predator ready to pounce. In fact, she almost did...if both Yu and Magnolia haven't intervened.

CRASH!

"GAHHH!"

Tiz, who was on his way to the Zenelosia household to check out the cake, heard the harsh sound and cringed slightly. "AH! What was that?!" he wondered aloud. Immediately, his leisurely stroll transformed to an urgent dash. The door slammed open, and the sight he was greeted with rendered him speechless.

Edea was face-down on the floor, a bit of her drool forming a puddle near her head. Yu had her arms pinned to the ground, but his own body was crushed by Magnolia. Her head was buried in the back of his neck. A nearby vase was knocked down into brittle pieces, the daisies scattered among the rapidly drying pool of water.

"W-what?! Are you guys okay?!" Tiz sprinted over to the pile of human limbs, but no one moved from their position. Edea grumbled something somewhere along the lines of "I only wanted some cake." Yu and Magnolia remained unchanged. An awkward silence filled the atmosphere, the embarrassment creeping up to Tiz's face once he looked at the mess at a different angle. It looks as if…

Abruptly, Magnolia shifted off of Yu and rushed out the door, her hands over her eyes and her face beet red. The remaining two picked themselves off the ground; their eyes staring morosely at the Ba'al Buster's retreating figure.

"M-Magnolia!" Yu distressingly shouted. He chased after her, leaving only Tiz, Edea, and the servants standing next to the broken vase with the flowers.

Edea lowered her head. "I'm sorry, but the cake...looked so good, and I only wanted a taste…" Tiz glanced at his former travel companion and ultimately sighed at the situation. "Edea…surely you can wait until preparations are over." She frowned at this statement. "But…" she retorted, "It looks too good to ignore!" The Norende survivor crossed his arms, surrendering to the Eternian native's eating craves. "Okay, okay. You can have one slice. Can I get a knife?" The butler nodded, disappearing into the kitchen for a minute before coming back out with the requested item.

"Here you go." Tiz offered the plate to an eager Edea, who gobbled the slice down with surprising speed. "Wah! This is really good!" she squealed. Just then, the door slammed open, revealing Panettone and Amy, out of breath with horror on their faces.

"Did anyone eat the cake?!" he exclaimed. The urgency in his voice prompted Edea to look up to him, visible pieces of her meal on the side of her lips. Dread struck the duo.

"Hmm…what's…?" Edea slumped her head down suddenly, her eyes shut from the world. For a moment, no one dared to break the tense atmosphere. The snap of Edea's head cracked the trance, and the occupants found her face with an unusually red color right in the line of sight with Panettone.

"Ahh…Panettone, you look so handsome in that outfit." She giggled and stumbled over to him, occasionally pulling on her bangs. The baker appeared horribly uncomfortable. "Edea, I have something for you to eat…" he cut himself off when she invaded his private space; her body was pressed up against his form. "Oh, but I don't want to have it now…maybe later…" Panettone could feel the buried fury coming from his sweetheart, and he turned pleading eyes to Tiz. The boy huffed and proceeded to pry the girl off. What he didn't expect was for Edea to assume a battle stance, shouting, "Don't you dare get any closer!" A katana was drawn, and Tiz fumbled for his dagger before engaging in combat. When the battle started, all Tiz could think of is:

"Why does this have to happen to me?!"

With Yu…

"Oi! Magnolia! Where did you go?!" Yu bent down, trying to regain his breath. "W-where could she have gone to…?" He leaned against a building, waiting until his heart calmed down and he could think about the remaining possibilities. "Now…could she be at the…no…how about…no." Yu clutched his head in frustration. Yu didn't know how long he was searching, but he clearly remembered that the sun was up when he left…

"This isn't the time to give up. I have to find her and explain things. Good luck, Yu!" With that, he sprinted off to the Crystal Orthodoxy headquarters. The doors groaned open by his push, and Yu searched the place, eventually failing to find his target. "Looks like she's not here…" A pale light beamed onto his figure. His attention was grabbed by the crescent moon shining onto the ocean.

"The moon huh…I wonder what it is like to live there…" He continued to admire its beauty. Despite what happened with Magnolia's homeland, it still continued to provide a comforting light onto Luxendarc. He smiled a bit when he connected that aspect with Magnolia.

"She's…truly amazing…"

Unbeknownst to the leader of the reformed "Orthodox Knights," the girl of his affections is drifting on a boat on the sea, staring at the same pristine crescent. She smiled bitterly at her home world, feeling the wave of homesickness flowing through her.

"Still as beautiful as always," Magnolia absentmindedly commented. The events from before was brought suddenly to her mind, causing her to hide her head in her lap. "What was I thinking? I never been that close to Yu before…and yet…oh, how embarrassing!" She faced the moon again, wishing for any guidance it could possibly provide. Minutes passed in silence before she paddled back to the dock. Upon opening the door to her temporary home, she gasped and instinctively took a step back.

The furniture was completely obliterated; visible deep slashes are embedded into the chairs. The portrait and coffee table supporting the ghostly white cake was left untouched by the chaos. Poking out of the wall near the stairs was a katana. When Magnolia ventured further, she found a dagger behind a gashed chair, lined with white clumps on the tip.

"Good Gravy! What happened here?!" She looked around the catastrophe, searching for any signs of the culprit, but she came out empty. "I feel bad for Yu, having to replace all of this…but why is the cake unharmed?" The giant, elegant structure of food somewhat lit up the dark room, and she felt allured by it. "Maybe…one slice wouldn't hurt." She grabbed the dagger and wiped off the excess chunks. Facing the back of the cake, the Ba'al Buster sliced off a piece and propped it into her mouth.

"Mmm. Delicious!" was her reaction to the fluffy taste. She continued to savor the unique flavor until a jolt of heat flowered in her blood. Her head felt light-headed; the blood started rushing to her cheeks.

Then the door slammed open; the last sound she heard before she succumbed to darkness.

...

Unsuccessful with his search for Magnolia, Yu dejectedly walked back to his mansion. When the disaster was introduced to him, he cringed in disbelief, wondering how so much damage can occur in the time he was gone.

"W-what?! No way…" He quickly surveyed the destruction in his living room. "Did this place get robbed…?" A sudden tingle shot up his spine. His guard was up, trying to sense the abnormal presence in the room. Footsteps tainted the silent air; the lump in Yu's throat tightened slightly. "Who's there?" The shadow stepped forth into the moonlight, exposing a recognizable white flower.

"M-Magnolia?! Oh, thank goodness, you're alright." She displayed no signs of response. Her vision traced the linings on the floor. Yu took tentative steps forward, concerned over the lack of reaction. Her head lifted slowly to meet his gaze, and the sides of her face turned a pretty shade of pink.

"Y-Yu?!" The boy sighed in relief. "Magnolia, you scared me. I couldn't find you anywhere." Pink brightened to red. "U-umm. Yes, I-I apologize." She turned to avoid eye contact, prompting Yu to inspect her unusual behavior. "Are you okay?" The heat became unbearable for her, and her hands covered the burning red skin. A gulp ran through her throat.

"Yu…umm…you're a bit too close." He checked the distance between them. Not even arm's distance to her. There was something terribly wrong.

And what happened next came as a blur.

From what Yu could remember, he could make out him falling to the floor…a pair of lips next to his ear…the feel of Magnolia on top of him…

He blacked out when Magnolia flashed a suggestive wink and lowered her head down to meet his.

The next day…

Edea Lee groaned, feeling a sharp pain in the back of her head. "Huh…what happened to me…? How did I get…?" "Ah, you're up. Thank goodness." Still clutching her head, she turned to the sight of Tiz leaning over the side of her bed. Edea immediately noticed a cut on his right shoulder.

"Tiz?! What happened to your shoulder?" The former shepherd winced at her words, as if noticing the injury for the first time. "You sure put up a fight, Edea." The Templar's daughter only tilted her head in confusion. When did she engage Tiz in combat?

"Ah, I think I can explain things." Both spun around to find Panettone and Amy shifting uncomfortably on their feet. "That cake was accidentally mixed with a potion I made when I was under the Empire. It's an ingredient that causes the person who swallows it to fall in love with the first person he or she hears. Fortunately, the effects wear off after the person is knocked out." Tiz crossed his arms. "So that's why Edea felt flustered after she heard your voice." Amy nodded in confirmation. "And when Tiz went up to remove Edea from darling, she got defensive and attacked you. Here, we can show you the damage." The blonde shakily walked down the stairs, her mind recoiling at the carnage of their battle.

"Oh no! This is bad! Really bad! How am I supposed to pay for all this?!" As she surveyed the destroyed furniture, she noted how the cake had a hole in the back side of the bottom layer. "Neh, do you remember anyone else eating from this?" The rest of the group came over.

"No, not really…" A strangled groan escaped from the back of the slashed couch. Everyone watched warily as Magnolia appeared, stretching her arms while yawning the exhaustion away. "Oh, good morning, everyone." Behind her, a disheveled Yu rubbed his head, grunting when he touched a particularly sore spot.

"G-good morning. Oh, Edea, why do you look so…"

Edea screamed in complete horror; her mind just put together the events that transpired between the two.

"Yu…your…your neck!" The Zeneolsia heir stepped back in shock, not understanding what the problem with his energetic comrade was. The butler handed him a mirror, and Yu almost dropped it once he discovered the small purple dot located in the middle of his neck.

"Wah!" He fell to the floor, too stunned to even comprehend the gravity of the situation. Magnolia merely leaned forward for a closer look. "Where did you get that, Yu?" His face lit crimson red, suddenly remembering what occurred after coming home.

"M-M-M-Magnolia! Too close!"

And while the flower-wearing girl chased a severely flustered knight, Panettone lightly finished up his explanation. "Also, once the person regains consciousness, he or she will not remember what happen when the potion is in effect."

Edea stared at the white cake. It still shone with the same gleam as before, but now, it blinded her rather than dazzled her. She whined out in annoyance at her predicament.

"Now I have to buy a new cake and repair Yu's house! How am I going to cover for all this?!"
