I don't care if she's the ruler of the Cyclonian Empire. She's still fourteen.

It's So Obvious

"I will do it."

"Oh, really," she said. "I'd like to see that."

"I'm sure you would, Master," he replied.

"After what she did to you..."

"She's quite deserving of it."

"I'm sure she is."

"You did summon her, yes?"

"Of course I did," she said, grinning. "Like I said, I'd like to see that."

Dark Ace turned when he heard the door open.

"You summoned me, Master?" Ravess said, walking in and promptly bowing.

"Yes, I did."

Ravess noticed Dark Ace grinning like an idiot. "Are you okay?" she asked.

"Fine, fine," he replied.

"Well?" Cyclonis said.

The archer raised an eyebrow. "Well, wha—"

Before she could finish her sentence Dark Ace had his lips pressed against hers.

Looking shocked at first, Ravess quickly put her arms around Dark Ace's neck. He placed his hands on her waist as they deepened their kiss.

Cyclonis' jaw hit the floor. She stared as their kiss continued. And continued. And contin—

It finally hit her.

"You set me up!" she yelled at them. "You two planned this!"

They looked at her like "I have no idea what you're talking about."

"Out, out, out!" she yelled, shoving the two towards the door. "Get out!"

The two commanders stood on the other side of the door, snickering.

"I can't believe you managed to get Cyclonis to dare you to kiss me," Ravess said.

"I can't believe she did dare me to kiss you." He grinned. "You think she would've picked up on it before all of this."

She kissed him on the lips. "I hope Snipe got that picture of her. I really want to see the look on her face."

An odd payback for whatever Cyclonis may have done but one Dark Ace and Ravess clearly enjoyed.

I need suggestions for an annoying song for Dark Ace to teach Finn for the sequel to No Strings Attached.
