"Good morning, Ren!" Yashiro hummed quietly, smiling to himself, as he piled into Ren's car and they drove off towards LME.

"Morning, Yashiro. What's first today?"

"Well, for you, you have modeling for RMandy at their studios. For me, I am fruitlessly trying to see how you and Kyoko could possibly still not be together." The bespectacled man sighed.

Ren turned his outer persona on full force and parked almost too fast, walking as fast as he could into RMandy without sprinting as Yashiro struggled to keep up.

"Hey, Moko-san!" Kyoko, though tired from lack of sleep, sparkled brightly as she smiled at her friend.

"Mo! It's too early for this. What is it?" She growled, though if her fellow-pink sufferer could look that tired and happy at the same time, it had to be good.

"Give me your hat. Or glasses, either will work." Kyoko smiled mischievously.

"Uh . . . okay?" Reaching into her locker, Kanae grabbed her trusted baseball cap. She had worn it the day she moved out on her own, and the first day in Love Me. Of course, she had to wonder what would happen to it now. 'Too late now,' she mused, as she handed it over. Kyoko set it down on the floor in front of them and sat back down. She closed her eyes and focused. Kanae was growing more confused by the minute.

For a few moments, nothing happened.

And then something did.

The hat slowly glided up into the air, spinning in circles, floating around the room, stunning Kanae more than she had thought possible.

"Kyoko . . . are you doing this?"

Kyoko opened her eyes and giggled. When she turned away, the hat lost its gracefulness, though still remained in the air.

"Whatever would make you think that, Moko-san?"

"Mr. President! Mr. President, sir!" Mr. Sawarada raced through the hallways, following a trail of confetti to where he hoped the rather flamboyant president was. The man in question was in the middle of learning how to do the Macarena with his granddaughter.

"Hmm? Sawarada-kun? What's the matter?"

"The *huf* director for Agent *huf* 00FAYE is requesting *huf* that we give permission *huf* for them *huf* to use the *huf* Love Diamond in a scene *huf* of theirs."

"Oh! Well, as long as they take good care of it and Sebastian is there, I suppose it'll be okay."

"Thank you, sir. Excellent Macarena there, sir."

"Wow."

"I know, right! Isn't it cool?" In the Love Me locker room, having free time is a gift from god. So, of course, Kyoko took the chance to practice and ran with it. Soon enough, their I.D. cards, Kanae's hat, glasses, and a few rags they found in the spare lockers were floating around.

"Mo! Of course it's cool! You're levitating things, for Pete's sake! But what're you doing this for?"

"Well," Kyoko silently gave the command to drop the items before explaining, "I'm using a hover board in my newest series piece, and I figured that instead of CG, I'd figure out how to power it myself, and my demons seemed the best choice. It really looks like magic, doesn't it?"

"Of course it does . . . but do you even know how much the board weighs?"

~*~A FEW DAYS LATER~*~

Kyoko had gone back to the AGENT 00FAYE set a few times, though all the shots so far were set in the royal palace. Tenanye would be introduced later in the episode. However, she'd finally managed to find out how much the board would weigh, and it was depressing, in the end, to find out it weighed more than she did at a total of 150 pounds. She figured she'd be able to work up to that level, though maybe not in time for her first shoot. Ms. Nakamura had still been giving her that chill. Everyone had to admit, though, that she played an excellent assassin fairy. According to the script, she had been sent by the top advisor in the wolf kingdom to kill Fairy King Hreidmar, as he didn't want the truce between the two kingdoms to happen. (Fairy Princess Inkeri and Wolf Prince Romulus were to be married to seal said truce.) The series was pretty much about Tenanye's battles with Maurelle.

Kyoko could hardly wait.

A few more into shooting, after introducing herself into the show and having her first (on land) battle with Maurelle, they were informed that they would start flying in a chase for the 'Faye Diamond', a large diamond lent by the president (The Love Diamond) set in a tiara that Princess Inkeri always wore. Director Su was really excited; neither girl had really flown yet, and she wanted to see how it looked. As a Wolf Spirit, Maurelle didn't have wings in the first place, so she was going to be using a real live jet pack for shooting while Kyoko had a harness, and they'd make it look like black magic when they added the board. So far the jet pack was working. They had Ms. Nakamura do laps everyday to see if she could do the right sort of acrobatics- she did it perfectly, every time. Kyoko had to do a few loops and practice swinging in a harness, but that was pretty much it.

So, of course, after finally figuring out how to levitate herself without her demons making her do the splits or ending up up-side down, Kyoko decided it was time to practice riding on a board.

If only it weren't so hard to find one.

"Mo! Just go to the sport store and buy one!" Kanae wasn't much help.

"But what kind of board?" Even though she had enough money, due to taking on AGENT 00FAYE, she was a little bit stuck.

Eventually it got too annoying and Kanae dragged her into the nearest shop that sold any kind of sports equipment, regardless of any consequences, namely that Kyoko could now lift her with her mind and throw her across Japan.

"Mo! Here." Kanae handed Kyoko a board, who had been bawling about it so much she hadn't realized that they'd paid and left already.

"Uh, Moko-san, it's a surfboard."

"So?"

"So . . . um . . . it's great?"

~*~LATER, IN THE LOVE ME LOCKER ROOM, WITH A SURFBOARD~*~

After having established that she did not want to fly, Kanae coached from the ground. Kyoko had found it a little embarrassing at first . . .

"How do I sit on it? Sideways? Or like a horse? Or should I stand-"

"MO! Just sit on the dang thing already!"

But now she was just riding side-saddle all over the place, her demons enjoying the thrill and basking in the power, until she was just a blur of dark aura and giggles on the beige surfboard.

'Oh, the look on Shotaro's face! I can see it now!'

'As can I! It's positively delicious!'

'Oh, I can't wait to be filmed!'

'I just want to film his reaction!'

"You know what would be really fun, Moko-san?" Kyoko stopped short.

"You know, we haven't paid a visit to Kyoko-chan lately! Can we stop by the Love Me room when we go to meet the president?"

"Might as well. You won't stop pestering me if I don't." Ren pulled the keys out of ignition and walked after Yashiro, who was skipping along into LME.

"If I just floated above the door just like this . . . "She directed her demons and board above the door, curling her feet up so that they were out of view from the door, her back against the wall.

"Well, here we are!" Yashiro giggled, his fan-girlishness overwhelming the surrounding area.

"Yashiro, calm down. I swear that plant next to you just withered." Ren turned the knob.

"And then I dropped down, like this- BOO!"

Kyoko, unfortunately, flipped upside-down at the exact moment Ren opened the door, stopping mere inches from his face.

"Holy cow. Tsuruga-san!" Kanae's eyebrows shot up. Yashiro, who had been turned around to view this dead plant himself, spun back and instantly went into cat mode. Ren had a duly concerned look on his face. Kyoko was a whole other story.

Hanging midair on a surfboard in front of the person you consider your sempai is gonna do things to you. Namely make you fall. Her demons, well versed in the pain of his gentlemanly smile, disappeared back inside her instantaneously. Now that she had no power holding her up whatsoever, gravity took over.

"Oooooh . . ." Kanae grabbed the board, which had fallen a little ways away, and hid it behind the lockers while Ren and Yashiro helped Kyoko up.

"Mogami-san? Are you okay?"

"I'm fine, thanks." She snatched her hand back and wiped her hands off on her jeans. "Why would you think I wasn't?" Her now confident voice and actions made Ren smile inside.

"Kotonami-san?"

"Yes?"

"Who is she right now?"

"Judging by what she's doing," They looked at Kyoko, who was now patting her waist as though feeling for a belt, "I'd say she's Tananye, her newest character. A tomboy fairy, which sounds nothing like the fairy's I've heard of."

"Same here. Ms. Mogami?"

At the mention of her name, Kyoko snapped back into herself and dropped her hands to her sides.

"Oh! Tsuraga-Sempai! Yashiro-San! Nice to see you again." She bowed politely bouncing back up. "Are you here with another assignment?"

"No, just saying hello on our way to President. But what were you doing?"

"Um . . ." Kyoko bit her lip and looked over at Kanae, you shrugged dramatically and gave her a pointed 'You-got-yourself-into-this-mess-you-get-yourself-out' look.

"I, uh, we were just going over a piece in my script and I got a little over-excited."

Ren raised an eyebrow.

Kyoko grinned at him nervously.

Yashiro whipped his head back and forth, grinning maniacally.

Kanae face-palmed.

"Well, if you really don't want to tell me, I'll leave it to y-" As he turned to leave, Kyoko turned into a whirlwind.

"NOOOOOO! WAIT! I DIDN'T MEAN IT! I'LL EXPLAIN! I'M SORRY! " She was soon back to a standing position, surfboard in hand, in front of two very shocked men. Kanae sat back down to watch the show.

"Um, Kyoko-san, why the surfboard? We're in the middle of Japan, not to mention inside a concrete building." Yashiro adjusted his grip on his suitcase. She had questionable sanity, yes, but she wasn't stupid.

"Um, if you just turn around for a second . . ." Kyoko made a spinning motion with her hand and the men complied, still completely in the dark. Kanae still didn't say a word. Kyoko had explained to her about how her demons dislike Tsuruga's true emotions, their connection to reality being to shaky to stand up to him. If he was anything but confused, they wouldn't come out.

Kyoko took only a few seconds to coax her spirits out. 'He won't hurt you this time. See, he's clueless. And if we shock him, we're sure to shock Shotaro!'

They burst out similarly to the time she'd been stalked, getting her up in the air on the board in seconds.

"Okay, you can turn around now."

Their reactions were priceless.

Woo! Cliffhanger! How do you like that?

Anyway, hopefully the story will progress nicely.

P.S. - Does anyone know how to change one's ID picture? I'm stuck with this one, unfortunately . . .
