(In the car)

With her seatbelt on Mina inched forward to ask her father a question. "Daddy? Are you coming to see me today?"

Looking at the road he made an easygoing comment, "Yes, why do you think I was getting ready right now at this hour?"

Sakura jumped in the conversation, "Don't you mean 'us' he is my papa to you know? That's not fair that you can take away my mommy but I can't."

"We both know that Misaki loves me more anyways, and besides Daddy would not even want to come if it wasn't for me. I am the star remember?"

"Why do you always say that you are better than me? Also, both papa and mommy love me way more than they love you" she inches forward to ask Takumi "Isn't that right?"

"Stop lying to yourself, they both love me more because I am smart and pretty, but you are so sloppy and your grades are not that great and-"

"We all can't have straight A's like you Mina!"

Annoyed he took a breath and realised it while still looking at the road he asked them, "Why do you girls always argue with each other?'

Both girls yelled in unison, "She started it!"

Takumi continued, "Me and Misaki love both of you equally, therefore-"

Mina cut him off, "You are supposed to love me more..." she slumped in her seat "I am your daughter..."

Suspicious he glanced over at Mina from the rear view mirror and saw her mischievous face. "Mina, me and you both know that you are only doing this to make Sakura mad so cut it out."

Mina sat up and crossed her arms, "Hmph...it was fun while it lasted I guess."

Rolling his eyes Takumi turned to the theatre the girls would be preforming at. As he parked the car and got out, like a total gentleman he opened up the doors on both sides for his princesses. Both girls on either side of him held his hand as he gave them a little fatherly advice. "If you ever get a boyfriend, which I hope will be in the very far future and he doesn't open doors for you, dump him."

Arriving at their destination there were many children with their teachers about to start rehearsals before the big show. Though the cherry blossom group strayed from their respective groups to talk and laugh before they separated. Once The group saw their leader they all ran to her side. Kaito dressed as a prince, walked coyly to Sakura's side while Takumi and Mina were peering his way. In front of Takumi he took Sakura's hand and placed a gentle kiss and said, "Oh fair maiden, thou is more beautiful than that ugly girl scowling at me right now."

Giggling Sakura pulled her hand away, "You are so funny Kaito." She stood up from where she was sitting and hugged him, "At least someone thinks i'm pretty!"

Jealous Takumi pulled Sakura away from Kaito's embrace and sat her back down next to him. "I think you are as pretty as your mother."

Mina stood up and gave Kaito a knuckle-sandwhich, "I think so too, you do not need compliments from this guy! He is so rude, how can he call me ugly!"

Nearing the time for them to leave for rehearsals Takumi kissed and hugged his girls goodbye and left to pick up Misaki.

IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII

(Walker Mansion)

Misaki who was supposed to be ready he was both filled with disappointment. Before he had left the girls and him had surprised her with a new dress that they had picked out for her, but it seems like she had no intentions of wearing it. She was currently wearing her usual tee-shirt and jeans, something that Takumi was bored with seeing her wear. While driving home he fantasized her in the dress looking beautiful beyond compare. Of course he loved her the way she was but this time was different, he had the need to see her in different clothes. Knowing well that it would take a lot of convincing for her to change since Misaki was not a materialistic women.

Takami looked her up and down and smiled, "Are you going like that?"

She looked down at what she was wearing and then looked back up at Takumi, "Yes, is there a problem?"

"Not necessarily, but I personally do not think that you should go to like that. I know I should not ever tell you what to wear and how to think but you are going to stand out. All the other mothers are going to act scornful towards you. I do not what you to feel unwelcomed where you are supposed to feel welcomed."

"Why are you rich people so bent up on how others should look and how they should act...it's so annoying."

"Us rich people? Personally I do not care if you went in your underwear, but then I would be jealous of all the dirty men staring at you. Plus, that is something only for my eyes only. In addition, Sakura and Mina would be happy to see you wear something they picked out for you. Do you not think so?"

"First of all, I would never ever in my life show that side to you. Second, why do you always have to use the children to bland my decisions? You know that every time I have to agree with you..." She snatched the dress from him and started walking to her room.

He muttered, "That's why I use it Misaki." Wanting to tease her even more he walked behind her following her until he got to the door.

Hostile she tried to close the door in his face only to have him block her efforts, "What are you doing idiot Usui!?"

"I thought I might help you get ready. You might need some help zipping up the dress."

"Well you thought wrong. You know Mr. Walker, as the master of the house I thought you would be more sensible."

He snorted, "Mr. Walker? Is that what you call me now? I thought I was Takumi to you?"

"Technically, you are still my boss so calling you by your first name is very rude."

"Yes, it seems like it is rude. Adora! Come and help Mrs. Shintani look even prettier than she already is!"

"Why do you have to yell?"

"So everyone in this house will know how gorgeous I think you are."

She rolled her eyes and shut the door.

IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII

An Hour later Misaki got dressed and her appearance made Takumi feel like he was heading for the emergency room pretty soon. She looked very different from her old self. Her gown was a gorgeous gold and white. The sweetheart neckline showed off her shoulders, and her makeup was stunning. He thanked the maid for making her look the way she looked and like a teenager he acted on impulse and hugged her tightly. As a man, he fought back his desire to kiss her glossy lips. Never in his life did he ever feel the need to control his pure desire but he knew that this women in his arms does not appreciate his lust like the others. Even though he knew he at least wanted to hug her, feeling her warmth emanating from her very being.

"What are you doing Takumi, get away from me!" squirming in his hold she tried to pry him away from her.

Letting her win he let go and gawked at her, "Wow...just wow...You look so-"

"Stupid, I know. This is why I didn't want to wear this, i look like an idiot."

"No, you look amazing. God you look so magnificent. I know that i tell you this a lot these days, but you look so beautiful that no words can describe how beautiful you look right now."

"Yeah right.."

IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII

As everybody lined up to get inside the theater Takumi and Misaki sat near a fountain to wait for the line to get shorter.

"So why did you never come to Mina's performances?"

"It is not like I never came, I used to come with my wife. After she left I attempted to come alone, but the women never left me alone. Also, at the time I did not think that she would enjoy my presence."

Like comforting a child Misaki squished Takumi's cheek, "Don't be silly, no matter what a child loves their parents. Even if they are a little immature like you."

Like a child he pouted, "You only say that because both of our girls love you more than they love me."

"I am sorry am I interrupting anything?"

Startled Misaki looked up as Takumi rolled his eyes and stood up. Bluntly he confronted the person, "Thank you for ruining the mood."

"You are very welcome", he turned to look at Miskai, "So this is Misaki? She is more beautiful than your description" Gerald says as he mocks Takumi's happiness.

Making an inference Misaki stood up smoothed out her gown and greeted Gerald, "Hello , how do you do?"

"Mr. Walker?" He turns to look at Takumi, "You said that she was a person with no status? She is very polite and looks like a model, if I was not married I would love her for myself."

A tall lovely women with a lavender colored dress and long brown curly hair walked over to Gerald's side, "To which I am glad that you are married." She looked at Misaki and introduced herself politely, "Hello my dear, my name is Stella Walker. I have been married to this guy for 9 years, so I appologize if he was being weird."

Reaching for Misaki's hand Takumi entered the conversation, "You really do have an understanding wife. Hey Stella how have you been?"

"Still trying for a girl, after two cute little Geralds I want an adorable little Stella."

Squeezing Misaki's hand as she tries to pry his hands away Takumi continues the conversation, and later mouthed to Gerald 'I have to talk to you' and Gerald nodded. Takumi turned to Stella, "Stella, I leave you with Misaki, please take care of her for me." He gives her one of his bright smiles and kissed Misaki's head and finally let go of her hand.

"Misaki, you look very beautiful, but I agree with Gerald. You are very proper for someone who is supposed to be poor."

"I will take that as a compliment, but I have a question. I know that we have never met but how do you get yourself so beautiful. I tried putting on makeup but I could not understand how to do it. So I left it out."

'Aww she is so innocent, she would make a good sister in law! I like her!' Excited Stella took out her lipstick, "This is a cute shade, even though it's pink it will look lighter. Come with me to the ladies room, we have 30 minutes before the show starts. I will make you look even more magnificent that Takumi would not be able to keep his hands off of you."

Hesitating she declined her offer, "Nevermind, the thought of that annoys me."

"Future sister in law, you should comply with the demands of your older sister. Please, it is only 30 minutes."

'Why does everyone in this family like manipulating me… Mrs. Walker seems like a nice women so I guess I can let her. UGH! Why are you giving up so easily these days.' "Fine...only thirty minutes also, nothing close or in my eye please."

"I will take your requests into consideration, but thank you little sister."

xoxoxoxo

"You know that Grandfather would never accept her child."

"I know Gerald, but she is going to be apart of my family. Not Grandfather's family but mine."

"Think like that all you want Takumi, but once he gets wind of this he can take away the power you have now."

"I know that also, but I am willing to give it all up for her. I love her Gerald, i love Misaki."

"Does she know the real you? If she does then no wonder you love her. If she doesn't, then no wonder she loves you."

"She doesn't know, and she will never know. I know her, if she finds out the truth she would want me far away from her."

"If I was a women I would want the same thing. I mean a man who has good looks but has dirty underwear under his bed is too much baggage"

"Dirty underwear?"

"It's a figure of speech."

IIIIIIIIIIIIIII

Walking in the theater every women gawked at Takumi while every man ogled Misaki. Noticing the looks Takumi pulled Misaki closer as they walked to their seats. Takumi directed Misaki to the seats closest to the stage. Misaki looked at him puzzled and pat his shoulder, "The seats say 'reserved', are you sure we should be sitting here?"

He whispered in her ear, "They are reserved for us."

Misaki muttered and shoved her purse in his direction, "You could have told me before we got here."

He smirked and sat down in his chair placing Misaki's purse on his lap, "I wanted to surprise you."

"Aren't you embarrassed to hold a women's purse to close to you?"

"Only a boy would feel that embarrassment that is only of the things that separate me from a boy. As a man I had to answer lots of important phone calls from cookie monster and carried diaper bags."

In a mocking tone, "Aww how fatherly, I wish I had a father like you."

As the lights dimmed the show started. It started with a voice, 'The Princess and the Pea' these cute little children started to sing and dance while presenting Kaito as the prince. He wanted to marry a princess, Viola dressed as one of the princesses was not a match for him. She was to vain and only cared about her looks. Alisa, also was not a good match for him, she was to greedy. After traveling the world, he never found a real princess every princess had some kind of flaw. Defeated the prince came to his castle disappointed. As kids danced to pretend that it was raining Mina appeared in the middle of the dance group dirty as the princess knocked on the door. One of the kids were way to enthusiastic about the dance and his presence overwhelmed the rest.

Misaki smiled and whispered to Takumi, "He is so cute"

"Uh huh, he is super adorable"

Adrien dressed as an old king opened the door, and there was Mina all dirty and messy as she claimed that she was a princess. After Mina was dressed in a beautiful pink dress and she said her lines perfectly.

Takumi whispered to Misaki, "Mina is doing so good, and she looks so pretty up there."

Holding him hand to inching closer to his ear,"What do you expect, she is a Walker."

The queen ordered a pea to be placed under twenty mattresses that the princess would sleep on.

Sakura was playing the little sister of Kaito as she put the pea under the twenty mattresses. Then she was part of the song and dance about the mattresses, the pea, and the princess.

Takumi whispered, "Sakura is a good dancer"

Misaki whispered back, "I know, she always danced when she was a baby. She looks embarrassed, do you think she saw us?"

Takumi smoothed his finger over her hand, "Most likely that's probably why she is so embarrassed."

After the prince found out that the princess was real because she felt the pea and could not sleep. They got married and that was their happily ever after. After the children bowed and the lights went back on Takumi, Misaki, Stella, and Gerald all walked out together and talked all about the show. How good some kids were, and how funny others acted. Takumi and Misaki parted from Gerald and Stella for a while to wait for the girls.

Unconsciously holding Takumi's hand they made their way back to the fountain.

"How was it?" ,Takumi asked Misaki curious about her thoughts

"The show was very good, I never seen a play so professionally made."

Smiling at each other like a happy couple Hinata came to disrupt that happiness.

Holding onto Takumi's arm Misaki meet eye to eye with Hinata and whispered to Takumi, "Takumi, Hinata is here"

Takumi held onto Misaki's hand intertwining their fingers and whispered into Misaki's ear, "Don't worry everything is going to be okay."

Together they walked close to where he was and confronted him without causing a scene.
"What are you doing here?" asked Misaki quietly

Hinata snaked his arm around Misaki and whispered in her ear "I came to see my daughter perform. She looked very pretty, did you do her hair? Who knew that she had such good memorization."

Takumi gave Hinata a fake smile and pried Hinata's hand away from her waist, "Misaki did her hair but I did her make-up."

"Right, you're here to I completely forgot. Hello Takumi, your daughter was okay, even though she was the main actress she lacked enthusiasm and well she was not that great."

"Actually I beg to differ, both of my girls did wonderful. I am so proud of them, Misaki after this what do you want to do?"

Quietly she squeezed his hand and answered, "I'm not sure..."

"We should go to a restaurant to celebrate. Im sure our little piggy would be happy to eat delicious food."

Hinata glanced down at their locked hands, "Our? My? You know that what you are doing right now is called cheating right? I guess it's true, another man's trash is another man's treasure."

Takumi walked over to Hinata and took a piece of lint off of his jacket, pat his shoulder, and dusted him off, "That's the reason why you are getting a divorce, that's also the reason why your daughter hates you, and finally if Misaki ever cheated on you that does not mean that she will lose custody of her child. As a matter of fact, you will be the one to lose custody and possibly even your freedom. Think about that until next month."

After the girls were dismissed both ran to Misaki.

"Mommy"

"Misaki"

"Did I do good?" Both girls asked her waiting for her to praise them.

"You both did wonderful darlings. I am so proud of you both."

"I am proud of you to Sakura." Hinata injected his unnecessary opinion.

"Hey Daddy." Sakura answered enthusiastically

"Come here and hug me Sakura."

Giving her a way out Takumi picked Sakura up. "I can't because Mr. Usui is carrying me."

Both alpha males smiled at each other as Hinata moved closer to Sakura giving her a kiss on the cheek. "I love you Sakura, see you later."

After he left the family finally could live in peace for the rest of the day.

"Daddy, where did Uncle Gerald go?"

"I don't know but if he has not came back by now then most likely he left."

"Are you buying us dinner? I am hungryyyy Mr. Usui!"

"Sakura, you should not pressure Takumi to much."

"Don't worry Misaki, I like being pressured by little hungry piggies." He wiped Sakura's cheek of her father's kiss and replaced it with one of his kisses.

"I love you Mr. Usui."

"I love you to Sakura and I love Mina and I also love Misaki."

Misaki hit his shoulder, "I don't love you Takumi, but Mina does."

Takumi held Misaki close with his free hand, kissed her cheek and whispered "You are lucky that I have to keep it rated G."

Misaki hit his shoulder again and walked ahead of them and turned back, "Are we going to dinner?"

Both girls ran to Misaki's side to praise her beauty.

Takumi smiled noticing how red she was and even though no one could hear him he replied, "Yes."
