So updates will be slower, but I'm gonna continue these stories, don't worry. I was just rather busy- actually still am.

"M'Lady." Jaze dipped into a bow and seemed to send a silent message to Izzy. Fine only looked back and forth between them.

Izzy's voice took on a slight annoying tone. "What are you doing here?"

Jaze stared right on back, confidently. "I could ask you the same thing. Since when did you meet my girlfriend?"

Izzy ground her teeth together and sighed. "Fine seems to have lost her memory. She doesn't remember you, you bigot."

"So he really is my boyfriend?" Fine asked Izzy quietly, staring at Jaze disbelievingly.

Shaking her head, the black haired girl answered her companion. "It wouldn't have been my choice, but you are."

"See, now c'mon, honey, I missed you!" Without offering the princess any time to protest, Jaze wrapped his arms around her. "Where've you been?"

"I don't know..." Fine was still uncomfortable around her supposed boyfriend, but he totally seemed like a stranger to her.

"I told you before. She's lost her memory. That's why we're on our way to Will."

"Which reminds me, I didn't even get to introduce you to any of my friends! What do you think of lil' ol' Izzy here?"

Fine couldn't help the smile that spread across her face. "She's great!"

"Hear that, Izzy? My girl really really likes you! If you like her, you'll definitely like the guys! I'm already excited!" Jaze let go of Fine, to her relief, but she was already becoming rather accustomed to his affection.

He couldn't be bad if she is going out with him.

One corner of Izzy's lips lifted, but she looked away, trying to look unaffected.

"So let's head over to Will now, then." Jaze stated.

"As long as Fine doesn't wander off again..." Izzy gave Fine a pointed look, which Fine obviously avoided.

"Don't worry, I won't let that happen..." Jaze stared down at Fine with a huge smirk planted on his face, making Fine shake her head.

"I won't wander off, swear!" Fine declared hastily.

Izzy and Jaze looked at each other for a moment and then burst out laughing.

"Your face!" Jaze pointed at her.

"You looked so scared!" Izzy covered her mouth in an effort to quiet her laughter.

Fine then pouted, not happy about their teasing. "That was so not funny! You know, maybe I will run off! I can fend for myself!" The redhead placed her hands on her hips and her eyes staring them down. "You don't pick a fight with this girl!"

"Oh, big girl's got an attitude does she? Well I can totally act with more of a 'tude than you!" Jaze swung his hips, jutting them out to the side dramatically, accompanied by a flamboyant gesture of putting his own hands on his hips. "You, girly, are no match for the Master!"

Fine's hands fell to her sides and her eyebrows raised. "Um, should it scare me that you can do it better than us girls?"

Izzy let out a laugh. "But then again, the only girl he had any sort of luck with was you-"

"And you took me all in, baby!" Jaze grinned and winked at Fine, proud.

Izzy continued what she was saying before she was interrupted. "-and that was only after he was rejected numerous times and finally resorted to begging that you gave him a chance." The black-haired girl cast a smirk to Jaze, who could only accept her story as truth.

"Oh, indeed, I was a sad, sad case. But it was all worth it! Now I'm going out with the cutest girl on the Mysterious Star!" Jaze smiled at Fine, who once again looked away, embarrassed. She was, however, growing used to his affectionate personality.

"No offense taken, don't worry about me." Izzy rolled her eyes.

Fine stuck out her tongue. "Well, it's true~"

"Oh no she didn't!" Jaze held up his hands with wide eyes. "Is it about to be a... Girl fight?"

"You wish!" Izzy and Fine retorted at the same time making them look back at each other and giggle.

Fine smiled at her companions. "It feels like I've... Never left..."

Jaze and Izzy looked at each other and grinned.

"And here I thought the girl Jaze was going on and on about was going to to be dreadfully annoying! You, though, are actually tolerable!"

"I think that deserves a gold medal." Fine nodded to herself. "Or... CAKE!"

"Then let's get some back at the shop!" Izzy announced. Fine and Jaze nodded in agreement and the trio set off, Izzy and Jaze smirking darkly.

The 'fake' Fortune Teller that had made such a brief contact with Izzy before stared into her Crystal Ball, watching the scene unfold from down the street. It is working... Perfect...

"What do you mean Fine has disappeared?" Prince Bright asked, confused.

"Is she gone, like, 'poof'?" Sophie suggested.

"Of course she didn't disappear into thin air! That's impossible!" Altezza retorted.

"Then where has she gone?" Lione cocked her head to the side.

"That's... Just it... I have no idea where Fine has gone... It's been almost two weeks, now..." Rein explained quietly.

"Oh, Rein don't cry!" Lione rushed over to her friend to support her, as did the others.

"When was the last time you saw her?" Mirlo hesitantly inquired.

"It was right before we went to sleep. I woke up from a nightmare and she was gone..." Rein replied.

Bright held his hand to his mouth, thinking. "Where did you two go during the day?"

Rein blinked. "We went to the Seed Kingdom. The Seed Princesses were with us."

"Yes, we were with them the entire duration of their stay, as soon as they found us." One of the Seed Princesses confirmed.

"Was Princess Fine separated from you guys at any point?" Bright asked further.

"Yeah, she often does that, though." Rein had become very interested in what Bright was getting at - this time not even for the sake of Bright himself.

"Maybe something happened there that could give us a clue. Everybody up for a trip to the Seed Kingdom?" Bright proclaimed.

Hands shot up around the room.
