"So, Lu-chan… don't you have something to say to me?"

Disgruntled, the purple-haired summoner glanced at her oldest friend. Caro was practically glowing in comparison to her teammate as the two took a seat, Lutecia gripping her cherry Coke like a lifeline. "I have nothing to say," she shot back. "Unless you're talking about your attempted rape three months ago."

"Rape?" Caro blinked innocently. "It was just a kiss, Lu-chan."

"You raped me. With your tongue. I still have nightmares about it, dammit."

"Okay, okay, so it's tongue rape. But if I hadn't done it, you wouldn't be with Vivio right now, would you?"

Lutecia shrugged, gulping a mouthful of Coke. Immediately noticing her friend's silence and obvious exhaustion, Caro couldn't help but lean in, curious. "Hey. What's wrong?"

"I didn't sleep a wink last night." Lutecia stifled a yawn behind her hand. "It's catching up with me, I guess."

"Huh? Wait… but… weren't you just out with Vivio last night? I thought—"

The idea hit hard and fast and made Lutecia smirk. Standing, she snagged her cherry Coke and started to head out, taking a long drink from her bottle. "She's a good kisser," she called over her shoulder. "Very good. Better than you, I'd say."

Caro's eyes bugged out of their sockets as her jaw dropped.

"LU-CHAN! Don't tell me you—you haven't gotten that far—it's only been three months, Nanoha-san would kill you if—DID YOU?!"

Lutecia chuckled and called back once more, her tone singsong.

"That's for me to know and you to find out, Caro."
