Sora watched as Mia and Anna got soda and sweets together, smiling at her friends. Today she was in shorts and a shirt, nothing flashy, and Fool was in cut offs with no shirt. Sora had noted this detail as soon as they woke up. She made Fool sleep on the couch while she took her bed. Although they shared a kiss, Sora was uneasy about her feelings for the man-doll-thing and felt horribly confused regarding them.
Mia had been working on a new script and was going to show Sora, Fool, and Anna, so they had decided to make it a small party with the sort of treats that weren't usually available to the athletes. The three girls sat at the table while Fool took a shower, keeping the door locked as a joke. He knew no one would barge in on him like he used to try to do to others when he was a doll.
"So Sora… I never knew you liked Fool," Mia started. "I mean, he's handsome, yeah, but weren't you always talking about him when he was a doll and how perverted he was and such?"
Sora nodded, not realizing how much she had talked about him, but tried to think of a good way to explain her feelings. Just then Layla walked in and raised an eyebrow at the three girls.
"Hello Sora."
Sora jumped up happily, hugging the woman and letting out a wordless shriek. Her blonde hair was still long, and her ocean blue eyes seemed happy. She had been training on Broadway and hadn't had so much time to visit, but she managed to get a week off and decided to surprise Sora. As the two were hugging, Fool came out of the bathroom, toweling his hair off. "Who's… Oh, hello Miss Layla."
Layla raised an eyebrow, but she took it calmly when she saw that Fool was as tall as she was and standing in shorts and a button down shirt. "Hello Fool. What are you doing here? And why are you so large?"
Fool smiled, running a hand through his wet hair. "Just thought it'd be a nice change of pace for now." He went over to the two women and chattered lightly with Layla while Sora went to go get another place setting for the new arrival.
Kalos gazed at Sarah, a slight smile tainting his lips. His beautiful Diva was laying on his desk, looking at him with an adorable smile.
"What do you want with me, Sarah?"
"Well Kalos, first I want the door locked…" She murmured, smiling mischievously. Kalos nodded and got up, locking the door from anyone entering. He then turned to Sarah, who was still smiling. She beckoned him closer, and Kalos obliged, standing in front of Sarah and his desk.
Sarah pulled Kalos close, slipping his glasses off as she pressed her mouth to his, moving so their bodies were touching. The closeness made both of their hearts beat faster, and Kalos parted his lips to move his tongue into Sarah's mouth, which she willingly accepted. The kiss deepened, and Kalos' hands wandered down Sarah's sides…
"Hey Sora, how many people did you plan on bringing to lunch?" Anna asked, juggling the extra dishes. Sora shrugged, not expecting anyone else.
"I wonder where Sarah went…" Mia mused, imaging her kickboxing or practicing her crazy martial arts.
Sora shrugged again and sat down in between Layla and Fool, giving her a good opportunity to talk to both of them.
The lunch was simple sandwiches, juice and salad, and everyone began to eat quietly.
"So, Layla, what have you been doing of late?" Sora asked, nibbling on some bread.
"Oh, you know, movies, off-Broadway training.. Nothing too great..." Layla sighed, remembering the time she and Sora had performed the Legendary Great Maneuver and loved the warm feelings it gave her. She still felt a tingle as she remembered what they had been doing.
Fool remembered as well and smiled. Sora's costume had been so cute... Fool blushed, remembering the little kiss he and Sora had shared yesterday and feeling his ears burn with heat. It was so sweet, almost a dream in its own way. He glanced to the girl, who was laughing about something with Layla and the others, and he resisted the urge to sweep her into a hug and kiss her again. But it was so tempting.
A few hours later everyone left and Sora was alone with Fool again. Sora went to go read a book, and Fool followed her, sitting on the chair next to her, although he was sort of sitting on the arm rest and reclining in her lap. She tried to adjust to fit him, but that only ended up worse, with her sitting sideways in the chair and he kneeling over her.
"Um, Fool? You aren't small enough to sit with me like this anymore…" Sora said quietly, not sure he realized just how tall he was.
Fool silenced Sora with a kiss. Unlike before, it was passionate and full of the man's desire to be with Sora. The petite girl returned the kiss after a moment, placing her hands upon Fools' arms. Fool leaned in a bit and Sora relaxed, letting him lay on top of her as they continued their sweet and passionate kiss. Soon she had pulled away though, blushing and muttering an apology as she ran off, slamming the door shut as she went. She ran into Anna and Mia in the practice room, face flushed.
"What's wrong Sora?" Mia asked, standing from her stretch.
"I… I don't know what to do.." Sora mumbled. "I love him, I think, but… But..."
Anna looked at Mia, and they both hugged Sora, stroking her hair.
"It's alright Sora, what happened?"
"Alright everyone, come here for the new production!"
Kalos was standing in the doorway, looking at all of them. Sora went over with the others, still blushing and confused, and they all watched Kalos, waiting to hear what he had to say.
"We're going to be putting on Aladdin, got it? Sora, you shall be playing the Princess, Fool shall be playing Aladdin, Anna, you will be…"
Sora lost count of what happened after. Kalos went on with who would be playing what.
I… I'm playing the princess? And Fool is playing Aladdin? That means… we're going to be partners! She thought suddenly.
