As Fine's twin sister I plan to know all about her love life. Their conversation continued.

"Um, is it hard to get along with me?"

"Yes."

"Am I annoying?"

"Yes."

"Can we be friends at least?" He just stared.

"I want to be friends! Even if I'm annoying, hard to get along with, not very smart, tomboyish with a huge appetite, barbaric and one of the most unprincesslike

princesses in the history of Fushigiboshi!" What did she just say? She turned bright red. He burst out laughing.

"You really called yourself unprincesslike and barbaric!"

"But I'm-"

"You're interesting Fine!"

"Really?" Before I knew it, Fine was very close to him and his face.

"Can we be friends?"

"Why not?" Fine cheered and did the "Thank Goodness" Dance. It was strange that she didn't notice that Bright sama and I had left them alone in the

hallway but that's Fine for you. The last week of school was boring and made everyone even more excited for summer. Surprisingly it was also the time when Bright

sama and Shade started staring at Fine and me (I caught them a few times). I wonder why? Well anyway summer vacation started and we all headed back to

Fushigiboshi with the other princes and princesses (Altezza, Lione, Sophie and the other girls). I never thought that they would actually devise a plan to get the 2 of us

closer to our crushes. And the plan took place throughout our summer retreat to the Flame Kingdom's beach. I had changed into matching swimsuits with Fine,

which were a pink one piece and a blue two piece with matching bracelets. We all played until we were parched. That was the first part to their plan. Altezza and

Sophie brought out strawberry and blueberry ramunes for Fine and me. They even brought out my favorite waffle with blueberry honey! Yay! But, why do I feel like I

won't be having a peaceful time eating?

Bright's POV

Fine and Rein both look cute in the water. Rein is content. That's good. Wait, why am I thinking of Rein? The week before summer vacation… I couldn't help but think of

Rein. She was always giving advice to classmates. She was already so cheerful but she basically sparkled when someone needed help. Why did she go to so much

trouble for people she didn't even know that well? Sometimes she even gave people some of her treasures. Rein, why? Why do you go so far to give happiness but

end up hurt in the process? Wait-what about Fine? Am I losing my mind? Anyway Shade and I were taking a break from swimming until Altezza and Sophie called us

over. The next thing I know, I am being pushed into Rein and just took a bite from her fork. Isn't this a-

Then I ended up on top of Rein. How can I be so clumsy? She's blushing. When I got back up Altezza handed me a blueberry ramune to drink.

"Here Onii sama!" Her smile is suspicious but for now I just want something to get my mind off what just happened. I drank from it. As I was drinking it Altezza gasped (it sounded odd as well)

"Ah! Onii sama that's Rein's-" I spit it out immediately. I heard Rein looking for her drink.

"Nee, Fine? Did you see blueberry ramune? It was right next to me a minute ago. Who would take it?" Uh Oh… I definitely can't tell her about this. For now, act like I didn't do anything…

Shade's POV

I'm actually having fun on this long trip. Fine sure keeps me busy. One minute she is splashing water on everyone and the next she is gobbling down a giant

strawberry shortcake. But I don't seem mad at all. Why am I thinking about her? That last week before summer vacation was just so odd. Why was Fine so willing to

give away her happiness for other people? How could she be so blissful when people needed her to sacrifice something for them? Was it really necessary to be

ecstatic when someone asks you to help them with their problems? I can't tell if she's nosy or just thick headed. Was she really content with her life? I hope- What?

She doesn't act like a princess, she eats like a pig and is way too happy all the time! She's not even close to me! So why- Before I could complete that thought, Milky

dragged me to where Fine and Rein were eating. Why is this happening to me? What am I doing being pulled over- I was just pushed by someone (seems intentional)

and I am headed for Fine. She turned around and started panicking as I was getting closer.

"Eh? Wait!" I could see her lips but stopped before them. I had just taken a bite from her fork that she put in front of my face. Is this for real?! When I finally digested

all of this Milky handed me a strawberry ramune. I drank it without thinking where it came from.

"Um…Onii sama that's Fine's-" I spit it out and hurried to put it back on the table before Fine noticed. What would her reaction be if she knew I technically kissed her

twice? This was an accident right…? I have to act like I didn't do anything but… I am close to freaking out whenever Fine drinks from that strawberry ramune! I think I may be getting sick…

Normal POV

Fine and Rein were more than just shaken by the afternoon events. It all just happened so fast! Despite all the "coincidences" Fine and Rein still couldn't tell that all

the weird events were the work of their friends, especially Altezza. Anyway nightfall finally came for the restless couples. The girls all wore summer yukatas from

Lione's idea. Fine wore a short red and pink patterned yukata with her hair tied in 2 high twin tails. Rein wore a regular length green and white flower patterned

yukata. Her hair was in a bun and she changed her bangs. Shade and Bright were speechless when they saw them. Shade couldn't help but stare at Fine with a pink

sparkle in her hand. It was a smile than he had seen but never thought was so beautiful. She just attracted his gaze (or so it seems). The light from the sparkle made

her eyes look like they were glowing. When she finally noticed him, they played with sparkles together. And around this time, Shade couldn't control his urge to pat Fine's head and so he did.

"Shade?"

"Sorry!" He was acting weird and even looked away.

"It's fine. But why did you pat my head?"

"I don't know. Maybe it was because you looked like a little girl with a toy. Don't people like to pat little kids' heads?" He grinned.

"Hah?! I'm not a little girl!"

"Are you sure?"

"Yes! You're weird Shade… for confusing me with a little kid." She pouted.

"I might really be going crazy…" He muttered.

"Huh? Shade? You're going crazy? Are you ok?!" She slapped his forehead to check if he's going ill. He stood up blushing.

"It's nothing!

"It can't be nothing! Look at your face! It's red!" And so she started chasing him around with the sparkle in her hand.

"Oi Fine! At least put that sparkle down! It's hazardous!"

"What are you talking about Shade?! You're still holding yours too!" And on the other side, Bright was charmed by Rein. She didn't notice until she looked up at him.

"Rein you look different tonight…"

"Really? I never noticed." She scratched the back of her head.

"It looks good on you…" He muttered.

"Bright sama… Really?!" She tilted her head a little with her smile. Her hair touched his face.

"Ah…" He sat on the ground. Bright was blushing.

"Sorry Bright sama! Are you ok?"

"Y-yes." He took her hand and stood up. However, his hand wouldn't let go of her hand. Bright looked at Rein to see she was blushing and trying to focus on her

sparkle. The 2 smiled as they got closer. His feelings were all mixed up. The audience behind them all huddled together to cook up another fruitful plan. As the boys

were confused the pairs of sparkles stuck together as the meteor shower started. Both of the pairs watched the magical sight. What does this mean?

Could it be? Fine and Shade were a fated couple? Rein and Bright were destined to be together? The days passed with more excitement. Many more

advances were shown between the 2 couplets. Bright caught Rein before she fell headfirst into the water. Shade was caught staring at Fine many times when they

played with water. Not to mention the group teased them to no end before the end of the lively get-together.

"This summer retreat is such a big success! Fine and Rein must have gotten closer to Onii sama and Shade! But there is still one last thing to do. It's the last day at the

beach. I must make sure they have an amazing memory! It's going to be so funny at night…" Altezza was having too much fun setting up Fine and Rein. On the

last day of the trip, Shade got an abnormal amount of knocks on his door at 8 P.M. Everyone was grinning making him feel chilly. Only Fine, Rein and Bright

weren't there. It seemed they needed to talk and even went to get Fine to join but as she opened the door Shade was shoved inside. Since there was probably no

way Shade could over power 10 people he gave up but force from the door pushed him into and on top of Fine.

"Sorry Fine. Are you ok?"

"Y-yeah." She was seriously turning red. Does she have a bad fever? Shade checked the window to see that it had been locked from the outside. Now it seems like

everything's recurring all over again. This is ridiculous. And there is no sofa to sleep on. Does this mean the Moon Kingdom's prince is going to be sleeping with the red

haired princess of the Sunny Kingdom again?

"Since you're locked in, you can sleep on the bed. It's not that small. Fine smiled a bit.

"Are you ok with it?"

"I guess. I don't want you to sleep on the mat." She crawled into the bed and faced the wall. The bed smelled like Fine. From that he could tell that it was going to be a

LONG night. Although Fine was feeling restless, she was the one who suggested sleeping together.

"I can sleep on the floor you know?"

"But you shouldn't! I'm fine so stay here ok Shade?"

"Thanks Princess Fine." She turned red once again.

"Why are you calling me that?"

"I can't?"

"Well I guess but aren't you the one that thought I'm nothing like a princess?" She turned around and pouted.

"That's true. I still think of you as an uncivilized monkey-"

"Huh?!"

"But you're more than I expected. You're always so happy, you are actually very caring, you hope for everyone's happiness, and you have a determined side. Well I

can't tell if that's being annoying or downright persistent." He started laughing.

"Shade!" She was actually pretty elated that he noticed all those things about her.

"Your face is completely red." The blue haired boy got up and turned the girl with ruby eyes around. She was pink and red alright (her face).

"Don't worry. It's not because I'm sick." What did she mean by that?

"That's good I guess. And I want to ask, why do you like helping people so much?" It looks like he finally shows his soft side to her.

"Doesn't everyone like to give happiness to people around them?"

"Really? In your case it's extreme since you would drop out of school for someone. You're really nosy, Fine."

"Well even if I am, it makes me feel great. I am helping to make an environment with happy classmates surrounding each other. I'm benefiting myself too. She smiled.

"Fine… you really are-"

"Please don't go anywhere, Shade…." Her voice trailed off. Fine had fallen asleep. As he was staring at her, the prince couldn't help but smile. This was so different from

when the 2 first met. Meanwhile, this is sad to say but Shade didn't realize that Milky and everyone were spying near the window that they had secretly locked.

"Shade…" The moonlight lit up her face. There was no doubt that the 2 were in love. After all Shade's body "moved on its own". The princesses outside were getting rowdy.

"Do it Shade!" Altezza whispered. The enchanted prince looked down at Fine and leaned in to when he was about a few centimeters away from the sleeping princess's

lips. Since she is asleep, Shade assumed it would be his own little secret. His lips touched hers as the crowd outside cheered. A few seconds passed as Shade finally

came back to his senses and laid in the bed not sure of what just happened.

Bright's POV

I was dragged out of my room and pushed into Rein's room. What is going on? I saw Rein confused about what happened. I checked all the possible ways out. They

were all locked from the outside.

"Rein… It seems that we've been locked in…"

"Eh?" She started blushing and daydreaming about what she thinks will happen tonight.

"So…? What do you want to do?"

"We should sleep soon. Bright sama, I think you should sleep on the bed. I don't want you on the floor all night.

"But-"

"Don't worry! It'll be like the first time we met!" I laughed. She turned to the wall. She looked like a cherry tomato. This was really sudden and even I feel

embarrassed. Did our friends really have to do this on the last day of our trip? I could feel that we both couldn't sleep. Rein was too jumpy to sleep so I tried to lighten

the mood. We laughed and blushed when we remembered those moments when our friends did something that caused us to get closer.

"Nee, Rein? Why do you support people so much that you'd be sad?"

"I wouldn't say that I'm unhappy… even if I did sacrifice something for that person wouldn't it make people feel jolly when they know they did a good deed?"

"Well.. You have a point…"

"That's why I always look on the bright side. That's just the type of person I am." She blushed. Was Rein this appealing?

"I was happy to go on this trip Bright sama…" Rein eventually drifted asleep. I smiled and looked at the ceiling. Then Rein grabbed my shirt in her sleep. I couldn't

break out of the grip and now it looked like we were hugging. And I couldn't even imagine that Altezza and everyone were spying on us after spying on Shade and

Fine. She looked so peaceful and I just suddenly leaned downward and kissed her lips. Since she was sleeping it was going to be my little secret… I think. Why am I so

fickle? Who exactly do I like?! What did I just do?!

Me: Hey Everyone! This was one Long chapter! It could even be a One-Shot! Right Fine, Rein?

Twins: Um…

Me: What wrong? It couldn't be… you're embarrassed? Well I can understand… The beach house incident, the meteor shower and the… *blushed and sighing thinking about the last event*

Twins: Ome! Why'd Shade and Bright sama kiss us? And in the same room?

Me: Oh you only meant that? Who knows? Why don't you ask them yourselves? Shade, Bright!

Twins: No! *Ran away*

Me: It's too bad… I wanted to have a little more fun…
