Hi guys! Smile's here again with another chapter, it's been a day since chapter 3 was published so let's see how long it takes me to write this one (BTW, Happy Valentine's Day!).


Meanwhile, Fine was walking home with her head still in the clouds, she still couldn't process what had just happened, but the sight of Shade stroking her face... -"He looked so cool"- she sighed.

She was still in this state of mind until she arrived home and was received by her sister. Rein took her by the shoulders and forced her to make eye contact -"Do you have any idea of how worried I was? You left without saying anything at all!"- Rein then hugged her -"I'm sorry if I made you angry, I just wanted to protect you!"-

After her sister pulled apart, she gently stroke Fine's hair off her forehead -"I almost thought you'd miss the sleepover!"-

-"That was today?"- Fine asked. And after Rein nodded, the younger twin rushed to her bedroom and packed everything -"Sorry, I'm ready!"-

And the twins left the shop.

-"By the way, where are we going?"- Fine asked.

-"We are going to Altezza's house, you remember her?"-

-"Oh, right! Is the girl who started that funny dancing in the meeting?"- Fine laughed.

-"She wasn't exactly dancing, though"-said Rein, but her sister didn't seem to hear her.

-"I like your friends"- Fine started saying -"They seem nice"-

-"Don't worry. They'll soon be yours too!"- Rein smiled.

-"Then do you think you can be friends with Shade?"- Fine asked with hope.

-"Don't push your luck"- Rein sentenced -"I'll accept the fact that you've befriended him, but I'm still not pleased with that"-

Fine pursed her lips, but soon changed her face when her sister announced that they had arrived.

They were greeted by Altezza's mother, a mid-thirties woman who shined like a jewel on her own way. The woman invited the twins to enter and indicated the girls where Altezza's room was.

-"She's beautiful"- Fine whispered.

-"I know. I hope to become a beautiful lady like her once I grow up!"- Rein commented with hope in her eyes.

-"Oh, you are already pretty!"- Fine then hugged her sister. It was a bit uncomfortable to walk if they were hugging, but Fine didn't seem to let go of Rein.

-"Fine, you're pretty as well"- laughed Rein when they were about to fall in the hallway. It wasn't much before the sisters did fall, knocking over a door.

The girls were still on the floor when a boy emerged from the mysterious door -"What's the matter..."- Bright's words vanished as he saw who were in the floor -"The Gisli T-Twins!"-

He rushed over to help Fine, much to Rein's dismay, but the pink haired girl stood faster and left Bright helping the bluenette.

-"Thank you, Bright..."- Rein whispered, to which she received a cordial smile from the guy.

-"You're looking for Altezza's room?"- Bright asked Fine, but the girl told him that Rein knew the way, and instead urged her sister to go.

-"Thanks again, sorry for the inconvenience"- muttered Rein.

As the girls continue. Fine noticed the change of behavior on her sister -"Is something wrong?"- she asked.

-"Why did he tried to help you first?"- Rein said with a gloomy face.

-"What? Who are you talking about?"-

-"Bright, of course"- Rein whispered angrily -"Why did he tried to help you first?"-

-"And how do I know? I didn't even noticed him trying to help me!"- Fine defended herself.

-"He's been acting strange the hole day"- Rein commented.

-"You're probably overreacting"- Fine said -"Maybe he wants to be a good neighbor with me and welcome me here or something"-

-"You think?"-

-"Of course, otherwise he would help the pretty twin first!"- Fine then proceed to hug her sister and didn't let go.

-"Oh, Fine!"- laughed Rein.

The girls found Altezza's room a few minutes later.

-"You're late"- was Altezza's greeting.

-"Sorry, Fine took some time in packing her stuff"- Rein said as the twins entered the room.

-"At least you're not as late as Sophie"- remarked Lione Keahi, the girls then laughed.

-"Is Sophie the only one who's missing?"- asked Altezza.

-"Yes, the Nili sisters couldn't come"- said Mirlo Namazzi -"But they are grateful for the invitation"-

-"Sophie will most likely arrive later on, so let's start the sleepover"- ordered Altezza.


Meanwhile, Bright had rushed over to his room and dialed a number.

-"Hello?"- answered someone on the other line.

-"Shade, I need help"- Bright said anxiously -"This is an emergency"-

-"What? Hey, are you okay? Something happened? Tell me!"- Shade was gripping the phone, almost causing a ruckus since he was having dinner with his family.

-"What? I'm perfectly, it's just that..."- Bright thanked God he wasn't talking face to face with Shade, otherwise his friend would see him blushing way too much.

-"What? Holy...I mean, Good Lord, Bright, tell me already!"-

-"She's here! In my house...Fine Gisli!"- Bright exclaimed.

Shade really considered on punching his friend next time he saw him -"So...did she ate all the food on your house or..."-

-"I'm being serious, Shade Taranath!"-

-"So am I, have you seen her eating?"- laughed Shade.

-"What should I do? She's going to sleep here!"- Bright panicked.

-"Well, what do you want me to do?"- Shade said -"This is your problem, man"-

-"I don't think I can do this"- whispered Bright -"I really need your help"-

That's how Shade appeared on the Diamonds Porch with a small backpack on his back and an apologetic smile when he was greeted by Mrs. Diamond.

-"Ah, you're here!"- Bright said while tackling him.

-"Did you say something about bringing a friend, honey?"- asked his mother, trying to remember a non existent request.

-"I didn't? Oh, mother, I'm so sorry!"- said Bright with big puppy eyes.

-"Ah, don't worry, honey, you know Shade is always welcome!"- she said pinching both guys cheeks.

-"You're such a cheater"- whispered Shade when they were going upstairs.

-"Oh, shush, you'll be doing the same if you were in my..."- Bright stopped suddenly.

Shade looked over Bright's shoulder -"Hey what's the big idea?"-

Fine Gisli was looking around the hallway, some meters in front of them, she suddenly turned around and said -"Ah, Altezza's brother!"- and rushed to where the boys where standing.

-"Ah...F-Fine...uh"- Bright was a blushing mess and Shade would definitely loved to see more if he didn't want to left his things already.

-"Hey, Gluton"- Shade said -"You're blocking the way"-

Fine's eyes light up when she saw who was behind Bright -"Shade!"- she extended her hand once again -"Sweets?"-

-"You just..."- Shade stopped midway, Bright was right there and now that Shade knew his obvious crush on Fine, maybe he shouldn't tell his friend about how the girl spent the evening digging her face in cakes at Moon Kingdom -"You shouldn't eat cakes at this hour"-

-"Oh my, what a strict parent!"- Fine laughed.

-"I...I could give you some cakes!"- Bright suddenly screamed. Judging by Fine's reaction, she was most likely to have forgotten his presence, although Shade didn't mention that.

-"Eh? You have Moon Kingdom's cakes?"- she said with excitement.

Bright looked away while blushing -"S...Sure, you...you can invite everyone else..."-

Fine ran in order to go, but return soon and said -"Uh...do you know where's the bathroom?"-

-"Don't tell me you've been searching for it since before we arrived"- Shade laughed.

-"Then I won't..."- Fine said as she turned to leave.

-"Wait"- Shade sighed -"The bathroom's at the end of the hallway"-

Fine bowed and sprinted towards the toilet. The boys, after Shade left his things in Bright's room, proceed to go to the kitchen in order to prepare everything.

-"Since when do you have Moon Kingdom's cakes?"- Shade asked as he was putting some plates in the dinning table.

-"Oh, come on, you're my best friend!"- Bright said -"I obviously have some goods from your shop"-

-"Well, thank you for your patronizing"- mumbled Shade.

-"Did you see her smile when she knew about the cakes?"- Bright sighed-"She's so cute"-

Shade smiled fondly while remembering -"Let's see if you still think that once you see her eating"-

-"You know there's something called karma, Shade"- Bright sentenced.

-"Well, I don't believe in such things"-

Shade was laughing so much at how ridiculous Bright could be sometimes, when Fine stormed into the dinning room and faced the boys.

-"Are the cakes ready?"- Shade noticed how her eyes lighted up whenever something sweet was mentioned and smiled.

-"A-Almost, we just need...to wait for everyone else..."- Bright said.

-"How many of you are again?"- Shade asked with some plates in his hands, he thought four were just enough, but he wanted to be sure.

-"Uh, I think we are..."- Fine struggled for a bit before deciding to use her hands and then look to where the stairs were -"Oh, here they are!"-

From the main hallway, a group of girls emerged. Altezza, Sophie (who had arrived sometime before Shade), Mirlo, Lione and...Rein Gisli.

Shade almost dropped the plates he had on his hands. His face was burning hot and he could hear Bright's annoying little laugh and the words karma.

-"Big brother, thank you so much for this!"- Altezza said as she took Bright's hand in delight -"How did you know we wanted some cakes?"-

-"Well, for some sweet ladies like you, it's only understandable...right, Shade?"- Bright said with a smile.

Shade tried to say something, but his brain couldn't process anything so he just nodded. He tried to make eye contact with Rein, but he noticed that the bluenette's eyes were only focused on the school's Prince.

-"Right...She likes Bright"- he reminded himself -"No matter what you do, she'll most likely won't notice you"-

At the same time, Fine had been watching Shade's conduct ever since Rein entered the room, thinking it would be funny seeing the boy loosing his cool; but as soon as she looked how different he acted towards Rein than how Shade acted with her, she felt something twist in her heart. However, she soon let that aside when she saw the cakes.


The girls chatted some more, except for Fine who was too occupied eating cakes and just nodded with energy when they asked her for an opinion. In fact, Fine was so focused on how delicious the cakes were, that she didn't even notice when the girls told her that they were going to be upstairs waiting for her.

She only noticed she was the only one in the table when Bright asked her if she had finished.

-"Oh, sorry!"- Fine exclaimed -"I didn't notice you two were only waiting for me"-

-"That's not the only thing you haven't noticed..."- Shade murmured, he hoped no one had notice, but Fine said.

-"I'll be washing my plate, don't worry"-

-"No, leave it to me...I'll wash it"- proposed Bright, to which Fine just laughed.

-"Don't worry, Altezza's brother has done more than enough!"- the girl went to Shade's side and said -"You should go to rest, as a guest this is the least I can do!"-

Shade thought that Bright would resist or something, but the boy just smiled with a red face and went upstairs with his head in the clouds.

Shade and Fine stayed alone in the kitchen, washing the dishes in silence as a heavy atmosphere was being created between the two teenagers.

Fine broke the silence -"The cakes were delicious, by the way"- she said quietly -"Rein likes them a lot. She thinks your mom's the best patisserie in the area"-

-"Well...Those cakes were actually done by me"- Shade said with a small blush.

Fine stopped washing the plate and faced Shade -"You did?"- Shade nodded -"You?"- the boy nodded once again -"For real?!"-

-"Can you be quiet for a second? Yes, yes I did!"- Shade said with a bright red face.

Fine left the plate in the sink and started jumping around Shade -"I can't believe it, I can't believe it!"- She stopped and took Shade by the collar -"You must tell Rein!"-

-"No I won't"- Shade said quickly as he pushed away, flustered at being so close to Fine -"It's way to embarrassing!"-

-"You told me!"- Fine said as if it were the most obvious thing -"Besides it's something really cool! I bet if you told everyone at school they would just stopped spreading rumors"-

-"Or they would start laughing at me"- Shade said quietly -"Look, I don't even know why I told you, okay? I just did, but please don't tell anyone else, not even Bright knows..."-

-"Alright, I won't"-

-"And don't even...wait, you won't?"- Fine shook her head -"Are you serious? Just like that?"-

-"You did keep my secret after all"- the girl was trying to hide a smile, but failed miserably -"Now we have exchanged secrets"-

Shade stood in silence, watching Fine containing her happiness for some reason, but soon enough, he started smiling too -"You're right, we've exchanged secrets"-

Fine couldn't keep her smile anymore -"Then let's make a promise!"- she hold out her right pinky.

-"A promise?"- Shade asked while staring clueless at Fine.

-"Yes, a promise!"-

-"And what happens to whoever breaks it?"- asked Shade.

Fine took some time as if she were thinking, but soon stopped -"Nothing happens I guess, I just wanted to make a promise with you"-

-"Let's hope none of us breaks it, then"- Shade said, chuckling a bit. The promised was already made.


Fine returned upstairs quietly after making the promise and met with Mirlo who was coming out of the bathroom, judging by the things she carried, she had just taken a bath.

-"Ah, Fine! The bathroom's free, you can go in if you want"- Mirlo said happily, but began to worry when the other girl just nodded.

-"Fine?"- she asked quietly -"Are you alright?"-

-"I think I committed the biggest mistake ever..."- Fine murmured, which scared Mirlo.

-"Then...can you tell me? Maybe I can help you"-

-"I think...I fell in love with someone who won't reciprocate my feelings..."- Fine sighed deeply.

Mirlo stood in silence before approaching Fine and hugged her. The bathing set was left on the floor.
