A/N: Prologue updated so as to match with the rest of the story a bit better. Couldn't log in yesterday, so I'm updating now. Trying to atleast stay at 1k words per chapter total. thus far I'm ahead by a couple thousand, and working on increasing the lead! On with the show!

Author: Heh...

Yuuka: What is so amusing?

Yukari: I believe I know where this is going.

Yuuka: Ohh? Do tell.

Yukari: Hush. She's about to say it.

Author: Is this really the first time I said my catch phrase?

Yuuka: Ahh, so that was why she laughed. ...Pardon my ignorance, but what on earth is a catch phrase?

Yukari: Ahh, yes, I suppose you wouldn't know, would you?

Yuuka: Tick-tock, Yukari. I haven't all day to listen to your inane prattle; get on with it.

Yukari: I have to wonder why the author chose you for the co-host spot.

Author: Well, interactions between you two are far too rare for my liking, and yet you are both fun to write for.

Yuuka: You never did say what a catch phrase is.

Yukari: Well, if you must know, it is a phrase meant to catch your attention. It is a phrase a character is known by.

Author: And after going on three years, I have to say, if 'on with the show' isn't my catch phrase, I don't know what is.

Yukari: Quite. It is the only thing that you say consistently.

Author: ...I shall choose to take that as a compliment. Anyways, how about w-

Yukari: Get on with the show~?

Author: ...You just love to steal my line. Yes, let's-

Yuuka: Get on with the show?

Author: ...I hate you both...

Hakurei shrine, early afternoon, Usagi's PoV:

Where once were sleep clothes, Reimu now sported the outfit that I remember her wearing last I saw her. With a red ribbon with white frills in her hair and her sidelocks in little red-white napkin holders. Really, I had seen something not unlike that holding the napkins in the Yakumo's place. On her hips, a red skirt that reached just past her knees, while on her torso was a sleeveless red top with a white collar, tied with a yellow ribbon around the collar. She also wore the strangest detachable sleeves. Really strange way to dress, all in all. As for her feet, she wore a pair of brown Mary Janes over white socks.

With her arms crossed over her now fully dressed chest, Reimu said, grilling the duo for information, "Let me get this straight. You slept with an outsider regardless of how dangerous that could be to her, poked her cheek as she slept with reckless abandon, got bitten by her like an idiot, and then she iced over. After that, you rushed to the nightsparrow for help, dragged her over the bamboo with her butt on full display, and found this fairy who claims to be the same girl as the rabbit. I think you said her name was Usagi...?"

Cirno, for her part, nodded once, while I shook my head furiously.

Raising a brow, Reimu asked, "So she's not named Usagi?"

Sighing, I said, "Th-that's not what I meant... I meant that we... Erm..." Blushing, I quietly continued, "That we didn't sleep together..." My once pale cheeks were now a slight sky blue.

Chuckling with a grin, Master asked, "What's wrong, Pupil? "

Pressing my index fingers together as I continued to blush, I said, "We aren't sleeping together, Master...

With an innocent grin, my master replied, "But she's right - we are sleeping together! We spent the whole night together in bed!"

Noticing Reimu's risen brow, I quickly said with a bright blue blush, "W-we slept that whole time!"

Grinning, Cirno replied, "Of course we slept! What else is there to do in a bed? As of last night, we've started doing such things!"

Reimu was having trouble keeping from snickering at this point.

I couldn't help but blush as I asked, "M-master, do you even realize-" Suddenly, a hand was over my mouth.

I suddenly found myself being picked up, and I began to squirm a bit as they were picking me up by my face. Whispering real close to my ear, Miss Reimu said, "Don't tell her - she's a bit ignorant to such things. Why spoil that?"

Sighing, I suggested, "Well, uhh... Why not watch our training? You might be entertained by that..." I tried as I might to squirm free of her iron grip, but it was to no avail.

This gave the Miko pause. That wasn't a bad idea. Smiling, she said quietly, "You might have a point there..." Raising her voice to normal volume, she added, "Hey, Cirno, you can train her here today, and I'll decide if it's entertaining enough to let you do it other times."

Smiling, I said, "Deal." Unbeknownst to me, I had taken the switched bait perfectly.

Looking to Cirno, Reimu shouted, "Alright, Cirno, you can train here for today! ...With supervision, of course!" Grumbling, she muttered, "Wouldn't want the shrine destroyed, after all. ...Again."

Cirno had wandered off at some point for some reason or another.

From under the shrine, Cirno asked, dumbfounded, "Huh? What do you mean by training?" At the end of that question, she punctuated it by way of popping her head out from under the shrine.

As the both of use let out a sigh, Reimu asked, "Cirno, why on earth did you come here of all places...? From the sound of things, I'll bet that you came here after forgetting where you were going... After all, your 'pupil' said that you were taking her some place to train. This is hardly a place of training."

Stroking her chin, Cirno remarked, "Yeah, I guess you never really train here either, huh?" Before Reimu could counter, Cirno exclaimed, "Ahh! I remember where I was going! I was headed to the other side of the lake!"

Staring at Cirno dryly, Reimu asked, "How on Earth could you get that wrong...? You'd have to purposefully forget where you were going to do that... Maybe you really are an idiot..." Reimu couldn't help but palm her face a bit.

Growling, Cirno bristled, "I'm not an idiot, idiot!"

Sighing, Reimu said, "Sure you aren't... Anyways, as you're here, why not start with the basics?"

Perking up at hearing the suggestion, Cirno asked, "Basics?"

Sighing louder, Reimu said, "Flight, Cirno. You fae do it a different way, right? Well, she's a fairy, isn't she? Besides, it'll be good for her."

Blinking, Cirno came to a sudden realization. "You're right! I should teach her to be the best fairy she can be!"

Now excited at learning just what I would be learning, I asked with barely contained joy, "I'm going to learn to fly like everyone else?!" My eyes were alight like glittery stars. In response, Cirno shook her head. "...Ehh? B-but... didn't you just say...?"

Grinning, Cirno corrected, "I'm gonna teach you to fly like we fae do! Big difference!"

Blinking, I asked, "What's the difference? I really wanna knooow!"

Chuckling at the question, Cirno answered, "Pupil, keep your pants on!"

Tilting my head, I said, "But I'm not wearing pants... I'm wearing a... uhh... I'm wearing whatever I'm wearing."

Helpfully, Reimu said, "A Kimono. And, if you haven't been paying attention to the color as well, it's purple."

Grinning, Cirno said, "I guess you're right! Hrm..." She stroked her chin a few moments. "Don't strip...?" Chuckling, she went on to say, "Well, anyways, now that that's out of the way, let's move on; do you know how to flap your wings? That's the most important part, after all!"

Reimu couldn't help but snicker at that. "Yeah, be sure to keep your kimono on; I wouldn't want to see you chasing off my donations.

Cirno snorted at that, muttering, "What donations...?"

At that, Reimu drooped.

I began to think. Is there some sort of muscle back there...? Is that how you make them flap? Invisible muscles? ...Or maybe wiggle? On that note, what would such a wing be good for? It looks more like it would be good for gliding, not flight, what with the blade-like nature of them. I couldn't help but sigh. "I can't do it! I tried everything I can think of, too..."

Cirno couldn't help but snort, at that. "Usagi, you're thinkin' too much! I mean, it's not so much doing anything special, it's just doing it! Hrm... Maybe if i do this you might understand!" Cirno unceremoniously grabbed hold of one of the four icy blade-like wings, and gently traced a finger over the very edge, causing the other 3 to go rigid, before quivering.

My eyes went wide, and I cried out, "Hanh...! W-what are y- AHn... N-no...! S-stop thAHHHt, Master...! no... n-n-not th- MNN...!"

With that out of the way, Cirno, grinning with an evil look in her eye, pinned me and began to tickle my sides.

I began to laugh, twitching about. "AHaha! n-no! Haha! Cirno...! Why are you-! Ahaha! Why are you doing this?" There were now tears in my eyes. My wings were now also wiggling back and forth, flapping to the best of their ability at this point simply because they are trying just as hard as my arms to get her away.

"There we go! Your wings flapped some, Usagi! Isn't that great? Usagi? What's wrong?" By this point, I simply laid there twitching, seemingly broken by the fairy's performance upon my wing, which was followed by the tickling.

Reimu couldn't help but sigh at all that had taken place. "I think she's gonna be out for awhile, Idiot..."

Growling, Cirno shouted, "Wha- I'm not stupid! I'm a genius!".

Sighing, Reimi said, "Ahh, also I would suggest against touching her wings like that in the future. She... doesn't seem to like it... Yeah, let's go with that..."

With a grin of questionable innocence, Cirno said, "Ehh? but she looked like she like it a lot, to me!"

Reimu paled in realization that the fairy of the lake just might know after all, what her earlier statement meant, but simply played along.
