Also if you own a picture or Video that I found online, and you either want your name added, or me to take it down. Please contact me and we can talk it out.

I will be writing out scenes even if my Oc isn't in them. As long as she's mentioned, or influencing the characters in some way. This may seem a bit annoying. But that's just how I write. I like to embed my characters into the story line. Because of this, most of the dialogue/scenes will come from the original work.

Love and a red rose can't be hid
~ Thomas Holcroft
{Third P.O.V.}
"Ais has been acting really strange ever since the party…" Tiona observes, looking at the girl who was sitting on a bench, below them. "Think it's 'cuz she's just mad at Bete?"
"No likely." Her sister deyns, "He did make quite a scene, though."
"What's that wolf up to now?" Tiona asks Aurora.
Aurora sighs, "He's off pouting somewhere because as soon as he sobered up, I made him tell Loki about all of the things he said and did. Including the fight he picked with Rieveria." She answers, resting her cheek on the palm of her hand.
Tiona turns to the elf, "Have you heard anything from Ais, Lefiya?"
Leyfiya shakes her head lightly, "I haven't spoken to her since the party. I didn't know how to approach her…"
Aurora looks down at the blond girl, "I'm worried about her. The way she reacted yesterday…"
"I see." The amazon nods. "If only we could take her out for a change of pace."
"A change of pace?" The elf repeats an idea forming in her head.
"What'd you have in mind?" Tione asks the girls.
"Food!" Tiona replies in an instant. "Lots of meat!"
"If only Ais were a simpleton like you." her sister sighs.
Aurora feels a sweat drop roll down the side of her head. "Why am I not surprised… But Tiona may be on to something. We could take her out for some food."
"A change of pace…" Leyfiya mumbles as she continues to think.
"Oh, Mother Hen has arrived." Tione comments as they see Riveria approach Ais. "It's probably best to trust Riveria with this sort of thing…"
"Isn't there anything we can do to help?" Tiona asks.
"Um…" Leyfiya speaks up, "It's just an idea, but…" As Leyfiya begins to explain her idea, all three womans faces begin to brighten up.
"That could work!" Aurora exclaims, clapping her hands together in joy.
"Ais!" Tiona calls as once, running down towards the blond. The other three follow behind her at a normal pace. "Hey, feel like hanging out with us today?"
Ais looked up at them, confused. So Leyfiya added,"We thought we might do a little shopping in town."
"Monster Feria is also coming up soon." Aurora points out. "I think it would be nice to have something new to wear."
"Well?" Tione asked.
The girl blinks at them, and then nodded.
"All right. Let's go change and meet at the front in ten minutes." Aurora finalises.
Aurora runs upstairs to change. When she reaches her room, she throws it open and quickly changes.
She's about to run out the room, but stops when she sees the time.
"I just remember that I promised Thumper that I would let him out today!" The girl exclaims. She turns and looks around her room. "We'll as long as she stays in my room it should be fine. And it will only be for six minutes." With that decided, she summons the Al Miraj. "Come forth Thumper. You are bound to me. Mine to command, and mine to use. So come to me Thumper!" A soft white furred, blue eyed rabbit appears on her bed. It had a bright orange collared collared, with a big white bow in the front. And scattered all over it, were small, cute, carrots.
"Listen. I let you out as promised. But you need to stay in my room understood."
The rabbit nodded, in understanding.
"There's a shop that Tione and I always go to!" Tiona suggests as they walk down the street.
Leyfiya begins to panic and blush, "The shop thay Tiona-san and Tione-san often go to is…"
The three other girls, who weren't amazons, begin blushing as they enter the store.
"This is more like a swimsuit store." Aurora comments.
"I haven't come here for a long time- Then I'll indulge myself slightly today." The older amazonian says, grabbing the wolf by her forearm.
Her sister nods as she grabs Ais, "Ah, There is a new product, let's go and see it, Ais!"
"A...Ais-san! Aurora!" Leyfiya tries to protest.
"Ais, do you want to try this one?" Tione asks, holding up a pink outfit, that could only be considered a few strings of fabric. "Your body lines are very
Slim, it should fit you."
"I… that…" Ais stutters out.
Lucky for the blond, Leyfiya jumps on the case at once. "Please wait a minute! Why did it become Ais-san wearing clothes from here!"
"Is there anything wrong? Leyfiya should also try wearing it!" Tione suggests.
"I… I will not wear it!" Leyfiya shakes her head.
"Ais, How about this one? It is the same as mine?" Tiona says, holding one up.
"N-no!" The elf once again answers. "Actually making Ais-san wear these kind of incident-type clothes! I will not permit it!"
"But don't you want to see Ais wearing these clothes?" Tiona asks.
Leyfiya can't help but imagine it…
"How is it Leyfiya? Ais asks, walking out in Tiona's usual clothing. She even had her long blond hair styled the same way.
"T...That should be an indecent outfit…" the elf says, blushing, "But when Ais-san wears it, It is… That… beautiful."
As all this is going down, Aurora is squatting down in a corner, her head in her knees to try and make herself appear as small as possible. But that wasn't enough, because her ears began to twitch as she heard the deadly, quiet, sound of pitter patters approaching her. She looks up to see Tione coming towards her. "H-Hi, Tione." The girl greets.
"Well don't you look cute. I have exactly the thing for you." In an instant, Tione swings the girl over her shoulder and is carrying her towards a dressing room.
"W-wait!" But it's too late, because she's thrown in, along with a bright red coloured dress, with a bright golden flower pattern all over it. It has a short, half sleeve, black jacket to match.
"I'm not letting you out till you put it on." Tione says from outside.
As Aurora put it on, the main thing she is worried about, is her tail. That is, till she sees the perfectly carved out hole, just for her tail. 'Looking at it, and how the fabric is cut. It was made after the dress, and recently as well. Meaning Tione's the one who did, so I'll have to buy it either way now.'
Somewhere in the twilight mansion, Finn stops and stares at his thumb. Garret stops walking a couple steps ahead of him. "What's wrong Finn?"
"My thumb is throbbing. It's feels like I'm missing something."
'WAIT!' The Aurora's eyes widen to the size of saucers. "TIONE! WHERE'S MY UNDERWEAR!"
The other woman laughs, as she opens the curtain. "It's the style of the dress. You'll get them back, once you take it off." But before the wolf can close the curtain again to change, Tione grabs her arm, "That is after, you show the rest."
Leyfiya's eyes widen as she sees Aurora. "What on earth did you put her in!" she exclaims, causing the woman in question to blush a bright red.
"Ais-san, Aurora, let's fonto an elfen clothes shop! Although I cannot help much, I will still use all my might to pick for you two."
"W-wait!" Aurora protests, "I need to change out and buy this."
"Why?" Ais asks, confused.
"Tione cute a hole in it, for my tail."
"And you'll be wearing this to the festival!" Tiona tells her.
"What! No I won't!" Aurora shakes her head.
"Yes you will." Tiona argues, "You're buying it! So you should wear it!
"This is the place!" Lefiya declares as they enter the elfen shop. "Specially for elves an unique and elegant design from high-quality smooth silk to soft linen that doesn't lose its listire, all of the various natural materials can be found here. No latter which ones it is, all of these are first-class products. It does not overly insist on laces and frills, because of this, it further emphasises the cuteness. How is it, the clothes that I recommend?" She asks after he rant.
"Makes movement difficult." Tione comments.
"Feels quite hot while wearing it!" Tiona whines.
"I did jot ask the two of you, Tiona-san, Tone-san!" Leyfiya yells at them.
"I'd hate to admit it, but I have to agree with Tione. It's a little too restricting for my taste." Aurora says, sending the elf a small apologetic smile as she tries to move her arms around.
Leyfiya pouts, before proceeding to show Ais dozen different dresses.
"Lefiya," Tione calls, "It is still best for Ais to wear clothes that are convenient to move in, Right?"
"That is right." Aurora nods in agreement, "Because of fighting, or just waking in general."
"Eh!?" The girl squeaks.
"But the female-type clothes here all have long skirts or frills." Tione observes, looking around at the dresses that surround them. "If that's the case, why not wear male clothes?"
Leyfiya looks appalled at the suggestion. "How could you let Ais-san wear male clothes?!"
Aurora sighs as she watches another scenario play out in Leyfiya's head. "I think we should get her out of there before she can get too invested." She suggests.
Tiona nods and calls, "Lefiya?"
"IYAAAAAA!" The elf shrieks.
"Don't you have any animal hybrid stores you wanna show us?" Tione asks the wolf well Leyfiya is hunched over in a corner, denying her thoughts.
Aurora shakes her head, "No. Clothes there are only made for animal hybrids. So they all have holes for tails and ears. Plus, I can't really afford to go to one right now. That expense dress broke my budget for the day. So if I go to one now, I may not be able to resist the temptation to buy something."
"Sorry about that." Tione laughs.
"Have you seen Ais…" Tiona asks.
Aurora looks around the room, unable to see the blond anywhere. "She left!" She exclaims, and instantly gets serious. "We need to find Ais! She doesn't know the streets that well. We'll split into groups of two. Tione and I'll go left. You guys go right!" The silverette shouts over her shoulder, as she grabs Tione, who was the closest to her, and runs out the door.
Tione and Aurora end up being the ones to find Ais. Aurora waves her hand through the air to get the blond attention. "Ais! There you are. We've been looking all over for you."
"Aurora… Tione…"
Tione looks at the dress on display next to them. "On this street, there are various types of clothes displayed. Ais, you did not think of what kind of clothes you wished to try, right."
"I don't know. I always only wanted to become stronger. Aside from that, I am not too clear…" the Sword Princess answers.
"... Is that so?" Tione asks.
"There's nothing wrong with taking a break every now and then. You know." Aurora tells her.
Ais nods, and turns to the window, "This is… a bridal gown…?" Ais asks, unsure.
Aurora follows her gaze and stares at the gorgeous white dress. It was full of lace and frills. It even had a matching hat to go with it. "...It is." She answers.
"Aurora, Tione, have you thought of wearing these kinds of clothes!" Ais asks.
"Yes…" Both women answer.
Though Tione is the only one who chooses to specify her answer. "... In the pastI did not hold any interest towards boys. The two of us sisters were a strange group among the amazons. Towards the captain, I had even thought what is so special about just a mere hobbit."
'Yes… But Finn is very strong?" Ais comments.
Tione smiles at the girl and continues on, "Inside the captain's office, there is a wall painting that has a goddess depicted. It is the goddess Phiana that the hobbit race firmly believed in. If you trace back, it is actually a group of knights that has been constructed into a goddess. So, after the true gods descended, this faith had disappeared without a trace. The hobbits lost their pillar of support and sped up their decline… It is basically rare for you to hear heroic tales of the Hobbits. Even if they become adventures, most of them are supporters or rearguards. The entire race had given up. The captain he, for the revival of his own rave, came to Orario. For all the hobbit rave that are currently living in the world, and the children that will be born into the future. He came forward in order to let them feel the existence of 'pride'."
Aurora looks down at the cement, 'And that's exactly why he won't ever let himself fall in love with any woman who isn't a prum.'
Unknown to her friends' feelings, Tione continues on, "That strength and knowing he was burdened with something extremely heavy. For the first time since I was born I had truly loved someone. I had wanted to become that person's special existence. So to speak… Eight now, my goal is to wear a bridal down and stand next to the captain!" Tione smiles at the blond.
'I feel like she's answering for both of us.' Aurora couldn't help but think, as she crossed her arms and leaned against the wall next to the window. 'But unlike her, to continue to stand next to him. I'll have to continue to swallow my feelings…'
Tione still wasn't done, "So to speak… Ais, my encounter with the captain… I had found another goal aside from becoming stronger, after I joined the Loki familia. Tione and Lefiya are still growing aside from becoming stronger, there are things that are also just as important. Looking at Ais right now, I cannot help but wonder. These feelings aside from becoming stronger… Ais, did you also find that kind of feeling."
"Is there anything you wanna add?" Tione asks Aurora, who had been silent the whole time.
The brown eyed woman looks up, "Not much." She smiles, but walks towards Ais and pulls her into a hug. She leans into her ear and whispers, "Just promise me this Ais. If you have a chance. Then take it. Or the longing in your heart may slowly be the end of you."
Ais looks up at her, but before she can ask the woman to clarify, they hear screams of Ais's name. As Lefiya and Tiona run towards them.
"That's great, so you were with Tione-san and Aurora?" Leyfiya asks.
"Yes." Ais nods.
"What is it, Tiona?" Tione asks her sister.
Tiona's voice quivers as she speaks, "That child just now…"
"Is it the cute girl that crashed into Tiona-san earlier?" Leyfiya asks. "It should be a goddess-sama right!"
Aurora sighs, "It's about a girl… which means it'll be about-"
But before she can even finish, Tiona breaks into a full blown sob. "Her height is only that. But her boobs were so big!"
Seeing that was the only issue, Tione turns around to the rest of the girls, "So what shop should we go to next?"
At this point, a full on argument breaks loose. As Tiona accuses them of being traitors, and Tione threatens to take them to an undergarments shop. Of course Leyfiya protests at once, and Aurora takes a couple steps away.
But before a full blown fight can break out, Ais speaks up. "I want to go to that shop and look!" She says, pointing at a shop to their left.
Aurora turns around, "That's a shop for the locals. It might actually be the best one for you." She smiles.
Though as Ais stares at the older woman, she see's something else behind deep chocolate her eyes. Something she can't pinpoint. But knows she doesn't like.
As soon as Ais goes in, she grabs a dress and enters a changing room before the other girls can see it.
"I wonder what dress she chose?" Leyfiya asks.
"All I saw was a white and purple blur." Aurora shrugs.
"Aww, but I wanna see it now." Tiona groans impatiently.
"And you'll get to." Aurora smiles, nodding her head to the curtain that was being opened.
"How do I look!" Ais asks. She was wearing white knee high socks, a purple skirt with a gold borderline. Her top was a gorgeous white. It was off shoulder and sleeveless halter top. The bottom of it had a gold borderline, along with the top of her breasts. The final touches were medium sized golden flowers near the bottom of her shirt.
"Y-you look amazing, Miss Ais!" Leyfiya answers at once.
Aurra nods, "It suits you perfectly."
"Those are so perfect!" Tiona agrees.
"If Loki were here she'd be all over you!" Tione adds.
"You think?" The blond asks, a slight blush on her cheeks.
"I'll go and take care of the bill, then." Leyfiya tells her.
"What?" Ais aska, looking up in confusion.
Leyfiya smiles back at her, "It's my thanks to you for always taking such good care of me!"
"But…"
"Let Leyfiya spoil you just this once." Tione cuts her off.
"That's right. It's her thank you. Let her do this, or she'll feel bad." Aurora says, hugging her.
Tiona nods, "Lefiya said she wanted to cheer you up somehow, if only just a little."
Aurora stretches as she enters her room, "That was sure a fun day." She says to no one.
The wolf's eyes widen though, when she sees a gorgeous bouquet of roses laying on her bed. She pads over to her bed and picks them up. "I wonder who these are from?" she hums, and looks around for a card or a note. "Nothing…? So it's anonymous."
As she continued to admire the bright red roses, a symbol for love, what the tamer had failed to see, was a golden card, that had been knocked over by Thumper and was now resting in her trashcan. On it, lay an invitation to Monster Feria, from a certain blond...
