Last chapter: Eclipse just gave the police a warning letter. How will the twins react to this?

Chapter 3:

Rein was busy choosing her outfit and her sister Fine was just observing her. After they found out that Eclipse will do a grand show on stealing a dead princess's crown, Rein decided to go and try to meet the Phantom thief.

"You know its past curfew hours, right?" Fine said as she eyed the different clothing that was scattered on the floor.

"Don't worry, don't worry," Rein said, "Auler said he has a fool-proof plan to get past the teachers."

Her sister arched her eyebrow, "Fool-proof huh?" she cupped her chin in thought, "I'd rather stay here and eat some snacks but I don't want to leave you alone especially if you're going to see that bastard."

The blue-haired girl flashed her a grateful smile, "Thanks Fine!" then she pouted, "And really! Please don't use the term 'bastard' to describe Eclipse. He's a caring and lovable guy."

"But he really is a bastard! I don't even know where you caught the idea of him being caring and lovable!"

"You just don't know that side of him."

"And you don't know how much of a jerk he is."

Rein sighed, "Can we stop arguing and just help me in choosing an outfit?"

Fine gave her sister a helpless stare, "You know I don't have any taste on those kind of things."

Rein held up two dresses, not hearing her sister's remark, "The dark blue strapless dress or the black mini dress?" she asked.

"You look beautiful in both," Fine said.

"You think so?"

"Definitely. You know half of the boys in the school fall head over heels to you, right?"

Rein blushed in embarrassment, "Um…uh… r-really?"

Her sister laughed, "Yup! And just choose anything there!"

"Hmmm… maybe I'll go with the light blue dress after all," she muttered, "I'm just going to try it.'

"Sure."

When Rein emerged from the bathroom, she was so beautiful. Her hair was laid down and her simple attire brings out her curves. Fine nodded her approval matching it with two thumbs up. Rein grinned and proceeded to choose the best kind of shoe that goes along her dress.

Fine quietly stared at her sister and saw how happy she was. 'If she's this happy with Eclipse, then who am I to stop her?' she thought. She despised the Phantom Thief, always bringing her sister into loads of trouble and thinking that all of the girls would fall for him. He's such a playboy… and a heart breaker. That's why she doesn't want Rein to keep her hopes up because she may eventually fall in the pits of rejection and despair. Rein deserves more than that. But she saw how Eclipse looked at her sister and maybe… maybe it'll be alright.

For a moment she remembered Shade and her heart made a jump. The kind and gentle boy that she had always glanced from afar. She knows that Shade likes Rein so she never gathered up the courage to really recognize her feelings for him. Fine determined that Shade was just an interesting person – nothing more and nothing less. However, Rein knew that Fine likes Shade (despite her sister's denial) so she never hinted a drop of interest on him. Besides, Rein's eyes were focused on Eclipse.

Suddenly, there was that nagging feeling again. The idea that goes around and around on Fine's head.

"W-What if… What if we liked the same person, Rein?" she voiced out her feeling.

Her sister stopped, "You mean to say that what if Shade is actually Eclipse, right?"

Fine nodded.

"That's impossible," Rein said, "Eclipse's attitude is far from Shade."

"O-Okay," Fine said but her voice was layered with doubts and anxieties that never left her. Sensing this, Rein moved across the room to face her sister, "They're not the same," she said, "I'm sure of it."

Rein didn't know how wrong she was.

Heeeyyy, remember the time in the anime when Fine really found out the Shade was Eclipse? And Rein was totally not trusting Eclipse although Fine was? xD
