Yamato walked into the Cafe after collecting his mail. As their home was up in the nature preserve, it was unfair to ask any mailman to deliver out there. Normally, he used his daily commute to town and the university where he reported his work; to also pick his mail from his and his uncle's P.O. Box. It was a fair daily exercise, not that he needed it after gaining superpowers. His body now seemed to always be in prime physical condition regardless of what he did all day. But nonetheless, mail time was a fun little quiet time. He'd stop by the cafe for a brunch snack and read what was his before taking that which belonged to his uncle back home. Today, he was seated in the private Booth reserved for him and his friends. He flipped through his mail before stopping at an envelope colored in light pink with white hearts.

"The Valentines Day reunion dance, huh…" Yamato sighed, reading the invite over, "Hard to believe it's already been 5 years since then. I bet Daichi is happy to bring his girlfriend to this." he smiled fondly at the memory of his former roommate from college.

"Oi, Yamato, what's…" Leo came in before blinking at the heart symbol on the letter Yamato was reading, "EHHH?! YAMATO GOT A LOVE LETTER!"

*CRASH!*

Sela and Tusk looked at Amu, who had just crushed a dish into snow.

"Oh, this bodes poorly." Tusk gulped.

"Huh?" Yamato blinked honestly, ignoring most of it after spending so many months with the Mobians, "Oh! This...no, Leo, it's not a love letter, it's an invitation to a dance."

"YAMATO HAS A DATE!" Leo shouted.

"AH!" Tusk panicked, running out of the kitchen as the cold began seeping out.

"No...I don't have a date." Yamato laughed.

"Liar! Everyone knows you go to a dance with someone!" Leo exclaimed after Tusk strapped a muzzle on to him...which barely muted him.

"Don't you guys have dances in Mobius?" Yamato asked, "You know, like Homecoming, Winter formal, Sadie Hawkins, Prom?" he then recalled the government system, "...Royal Receptions? Balls?"

"Ohhh~" Tusk and Leo nodded.

"Pfft…" Sela spit up melted ice, "You idiots…"

"Demo, it does always get romantic at these things. Someone's bound to find that special someone, maybe it will be my turn." he smiled.

Amu's ears and tail shot up at that.

"Nanta na!" he laughed, "Good luck with work, minna. I gotta deliver oji-san his mail and pick a good tuxedo." Yamato then went out the back and hopped on his Extreme Gear, flying off.

"HIT THE DECK!" Sela shouted as the kitchen was flash frozen again, "Roll….Auntie...you okay?"

"Hey," Sonic called out as he came in carrying a bouquet of roses, "Roll you in?"

"..." Sela peeked into the kitchen, "...She is, but she's busy at the moment."

"With what?"

"Being a fish in winter," Tusk deadpanned as he carried a heater into the kitchen, "...Any chance you brought strawberries?"

"Well, I got her favorite strawberry ice cream cak…" he then heard ice shattering as Roll came out, panting with steam coming off her that was fading, "...and flowers."

"...Why did I even make this bet?" Sela grumbled as she handed Leo several hundred Yen, "Of course they'd be able to move fast enough to vibrate into releasing heat..."

"She really loves strawberries," Tusk blinked.

"So Roll," Sonic sighed, "Given we've been here almost half a year and after what Uncle Mario told me about tomorrow." he sighed, "I want to tell you...I'm sorry for everything."

"...Amu, keep Auntie frozen! I don't want to pay the bet!" Sela panicked.

"Losing power...and...She already out."

"Guys, shut it," Sonic glared, making them freeze as he looked back at the surprised Roll, "...I know we haven't been as close back then when I was mute, and then I dated Sally. I still love her, but I also love you and that won't change," he told her, looking her in the eyes, "I know this Eggman thing is causing you pain, i know this, and i still stand on keeping him alive...but you need to know that doesn't change how important you are to me, and always will be. Haseo is my brother, your mom is my mom and i will never stop trying to make you happy so if you don't mind a stubborn hedgehog who can be a bit of a fool at times, will you be my valentine this year?" he offered her the flowers and cake.

'Valentine?' the others thought.

"...I would love that, Sonikku," Roll replied, a tender smile on her lips with tears of joy welling in her eyes, "I love you, too."

"..." Amu then passed a sobbing Aphrodite a handkerchief.

"Phew... Glad that went well. Uncle Mario knows his stuff. I'll let you guys get back to work now. Later, Rolly." he waved running off.

"Wait...what's Valentine mean?" Leo asked.

"Good thing this thing gets...inter...net." Tusk muttered, taking out his Zyuoh changer, "Hmm…"

"..." Aphrodite muttered to herself as she looked at her phone, "...An entire day...based on love for love? ...I'm staying on Earth."

"...Oh no," those who knew the Sakurai Clan freaked as Roll and Aphrodite trembled in joy.

"Wait!" Sela called, pushing them into the still partially frozen kitchen and slammed the door leading in shut followed by the shutters that allowed them to serve plates ready to take out, "Okay! Go!" she shouted before sliding across the ground into the bathrooms leaving Tusk and Leo out in the open. Amu vanished a long time ago.

"EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE~~~~!-!-!-!"

"...Tails still sucks at making shutters!" Leo snapped underneath the blasted off shutters with Tusk.

=Ugh...Just be glad you heard it behind the fortification. My main unit is always on her wrist!= Skye complained.

"Oh, not that bad as last time." Sela said, peeking out while the air duct opened as Amu poked out upside down.

"Could have been worse," Amu noted.

"Best recipes, sweetie! Best recipes!" Aphrodite ordered before shoving a pile of flyers into Leo's arms, "Leo, go get your sign and get these distributed. Amu, Sela, pink and red! We need more pink and red! More!"

"When did you make these?!" Leo gawked.

=Oh, I've had them on standby to print since I got activated by all of you for when she learned of this holiday= Skye replied.

"Gah! You are a sneaky hedgehog, darling!" Aphrodite scolded, "No wonder your original was more affectionate on February 14th each year!"

"Well Earth...you've done it again."

=To be fair, Japan takes it a step above other countries, with a companion holiday a month later= Skye added, =Normally on today, girls give chocolates to the boys they like, and friendship candy to their friends. Then a months later on Whites Day, the boy's turn to give the sweets. But people still use Valentines Day as an excuse to be extra romantic. So...technically there are two romance days=

"NOT HELPING!" Tusk trumpited in his Mobian form.

=Wrong. Not helpful to single people like you=

"I have a lot of self love," Tusk countered proudly.

"...Two days of love?" Aphrodite squeed.

"Not again! Uh...uh...Amu, I saw Yamato kissed by a girl!" Sela yelped before jumping back into the bathroom, 'Well, it was Aphrodite who did for getting Haseo that stuffed doll, but I'm not telling her that.'

"NANI?!" she hissed as the entire cafe was flash frozen.

"Darn it, S…" Tusk began before he was frozen.

-outside-

A man with long hair dressed in khaki cargo pants, a white T-shirt, and red hooded vest walked hand in hand with a girl a little shorter than him with long hair that fell to her shoulders dressed in a pink sweater, white blouse and pink shorts. Both had odd yellow guns strapped to their legs for some reason which went unnoticed...or rather most thought them silly toys to really care about it.

"Ahh man they're closed...I thought this would be a good place for the honeymoon." the man muttered, looking at the frozen door.

"Ah, I'm sure they are just closed in preparation for a big event tomorrow," the woman smiled, "Come on we can try again later!"

"You're right! We still got a Brave Honeymoon to enjoy!" he laughed, "Ole!" he laughed as they ran off, "Come on, Minityra!" he shouted as a mechanical little T-Rex ran after them.

"Ahh!" Leo screamed as he was used as a battering ram to break out.

"Freedom!" Tusk shouted, dropping him as they reverted to Mobian form.

"You guys okay?" Sela asked, clearly not bothered by the cold.

"We...We're Savanna animals…" Leo muttered, shivering, "We don't do cold…"

=Oh it's plenty hot here…= Skye said as Roll and Aphrodite were literally on pink fire.

"..." Leo deadpanned as he handed a smug Tusk a wad of cash, "I thought Auntie was a fox, not a hedgehog…"

=No, that's the power of the Sakurai and Love, Leo…=

"I prefer the power of punching things…" Leo groaned.

"Oh shut up," Sela sighed, pushing Amu closer to the Sakurai to melt her free.

"Well, hopef…" Tusk started before he andL Leo looked at...a stampede of girls who were their regulars, "..."

=RUN BOYS!= Skye shouted with a laugh =YA GOT THE APEX PREDATORS OF HUMANS: FAN GIRLS!= he declared before crying tears of laughter as it was too late and they were swept up =Oh~! Too late! Bye-bye, boys~! We hardly knew ye! ...Well, I hardly knew ye. The others must've known ya for years...=

"Wait, I need those boys for delivering flyers!" Aphrodite called, "Oh, and darling, I'll have Tails program a punishment protocall."

=For what?!=

"Not telling me about this day!"

=Aw shucks...Oh wait. Ha! Jokes on him! I'm programmed to do a factory reset if someone accesses my code!=

"Oh, I know something that'll override that...I helped him with it as a nice gift for you."

=Oh, what could that…= he started before blinking as Tails came in with a digital ai that looked like Aphrodite =...uh...There are two of you. ...I don't think I'm programmed to handle two of you…= his form fizzled before vanishing as the watch lit up =Yeah, I'm barely able to process two of you and keep my hologram up without overloading=

"Sorry, Skye...she wouldn't let me...I told her no." Tails sighed.

"Oh, he'll love it...besides romance between AIs can happen too."

"Note to self, never let anyone watch Red vs Blue with me again." Tails sighed, "I swear I thought it was just a show about people standing around talking…" he then looked at Sela, "You know why Tusk and Leo were violated in a sea of girls?"

"..." she blinked for a long time, "Ask your sister." she finally replied.

"Wait, what's that mean?"

"Ask your sister." the girls all replied.

"Saved the multiverse once, and still get treated like a kid." Tails sighed, leaving A.I Aphrodite with the Sakurai family.

=Please tell me Valentine got brought up= the AI giggled in excitement.

"...right. Valentine…" Tails groaned before leaving.

"Sakurai clan!" Amu shouted, getting Roll and Aphrodite's attention, "I humbly prostrate myself and beg for your assistance on your now scared day!"

"...Data me, get in the watch and punish Data-Darling," Aphrodite ordered, "Sweetie, we have a Shield Daughter to attend to in a time of need for Love!"

"Can we call Data-you Venus?" Amu asked. "It would be less confusing."

"Venus was my mother's name," she mused.

"Oh...wh-"

"Onee-chan, Okaa-san, what's going on?" Haseo yawned as he poked his head in, rubbing one of his eyes.

"Haseo-chan, there is a love-based holiday on Earth! Two here in Japan!" Roll explained excitedly before gasping, "Sonikku must have learned about it! Well, he earned brownie points, that's for sure."

"Plan on what you'll do to him in naughty times later, assist Amu with getting her naughty times with Yamato-san now," Aphrodite ordered before recalling, "Ahh...he has a royal ball today! Come, my daughter and Shield-Daughter, we are off to find the princess who shall elevate our Shield Daughter of the Winters to a Winter Princess for her prince!"


"Tails?" Miyuki spoke, looking around the room to see Tails slumped in the corner, "...daijoubu?"

"...no…" Tails sighed.

"...It's about 'her' isn't it?"

"..."

"...Ahh…" Miyuki sighed, walking over to give him a comforting hug, "I know you still loved her, but...what she did to you was…" she suppressed a growl as she gently rubbed his head, "Tails, I think it's best to move on…"

"...But...what if she…?"

"Tails, I think she made it clear she doesn't want to be any part of your life unless it was to provoke it," Miyuki frowned, "Girls like her always find a chance to mess with someone emotionally just to make themselves feel better, because deep down...they themselves are hurting, afraid that to let anyone else in except for certain people who approve of their bad behavior."

"..."

"I know today may upset you, but it will also give you another chance at love, kyu," Miyuki smiled softly as she knelt down to face im, "Now come on, tell onee-chan if there's anything she could do to help, kyu."

"...Z-Zooey."

"Hmm?"

"Th-there was this vixen I met back in our world named Zooey," Tails admitted, a light blush on his face.

"Then I'm going to find her."

"What?"

"Nicole, do you have a picture of this 'Zooey' girl?" Miyuki called.

=I do yes= Nicole replied before a holographic image of a yellow furred vixen in a red dress appeared before her.

"...Oh, she looks lovely!" Miyuki smiled before giving a stern look at Tails, "And you haven't talked to this girl yet why, kyu?"

"I didn't react well to you after you found me, now did I?"

"...Touche," Miyuki admitted, "...Very well then. I will find this girl for you, and you will get to know her better, kyu!"

=I would love to help, but I will be spending time with Haseo this day= Nicole said.

"Oh?" the two asked.

=Yes, for his own reasons. He is romantically obsessed with me, so I shall please him=

"Maybe word that differently…" Tails muttered.

=...What is wrong with what I said?= Nicole blinked at that, a nearby screen giving a confused emoji.

"...I should not be the one explaining this…" Tails sighed, "I'm just the child here...Sis...you handle this." he said quickly wanting to get out of this conversation.

"I'm going to hurry and find Zooey before the days over, kyu." Miyuki sighed, leaving as Nicole shrugged.


"Yo Yamato!" A man a fair bit older than him waved while wearing a military uniform.

"Ahh, Tendo-san!" Yamato waved. "Gai and Aya, too." he greeted the young adults around his age with their father.

"Yo, Yamato, we finally escape Dad's military school," Gai sighed in relief. "You're lucky your uncle isn't super protective hard as...AHH!" he cried as his father put him in a headlock and noggied his head. "Dad, no one does noogies no more!"

"You're such a big mouth...just like the uncle you're named after! I swears, it's like part of him reincarnated with you!" his father laughed.

"So Yamato." Aya clung to his arm, "Did you get the invite, too?"

"Oh the dance." he laughed, "I just got my invite." he smiled, "I'm not sure it's for me though."

"You always did prefer to hang around animals than people." Gai chuckled "And I took you to all those strip joints."

"You did what?!" his dad snapped.

"AHA!" he panicked, running only for his dad to grab a random can and toss it and bean his son in the back of the head, "I'm telling mom!"

"Those two never change..." Yamato chuckled. "So how was military school, Aya?"

"Don't change the subject. Come on! Let's go to the dance together." she sighed, "It's been a long time since we saw each other, and you're always busy with work...or maybe you got a girlfriend?"

"Girlfriend? No...nothing like that…" he chuckled, "Just...a lot of extra work." he muttered, patting his Zyuoh Changer.

"Son, trust me….I had extra work in my day." Ryu muttered, headlocking his son, "But it's always nice to enjoy the finer things in life no matter how little they are. Besides, it'll be outdoors picnic."

"I'll probably just bring along some of my friends." Yamato smiled, "I messed with them enough this morning." he laughed.

"It's ok. Dad's bringing his and mom's old friends, including uncle Jeff," Gai sighed. "He's gonna ruin my chances with the ladies."

"Like you ever had any." Ryu laughed, "At best, you have my looks and charm with your uncle's poor taste in rebound chicks."

"Aw man...that's the worst combo." Gai complained.

"Well I hope there aren't any girls. I want you all to myself tonight." Aya said before kissing Yamato cheek, making him blush at this exact timing Amu had just came from the corner and looked at the scene. "See you at the party~! Come on dad, baka-nii! We're going shopping."

"Ugh." the two cried.

"...Oh...this is gonna suck," Aphrodite muttered from a nearby skyscraper, looking at the scene through binoculars.

"It's gonna be a bloodbath," Bud said, spooking her as he caught her before she almost fell off the ledge, "Are you both good and bad at this, Aphrodite?"

"Good at matchmaking, but bad at timing it seems," Aphrodite sighed.

"I mistook you for a different type of roof top onlooker...I'm glad it was just you." he sighed, earning her attention, "What...what's with that look of shock? You find it odd I am protective of him?"

"No, are you living here?" she asked, seeing a tent.

"I move from place to place." he explained as she blinked, "That's your idea face...I remember it from the times your husband gave you dangerous inspiration."

"So who's the girl?"

"Tendo Aya and Gai. They're Yamato's school friends since kindergarten. They seperated after Ryu sent his kids to military school mostly 'cause he was gonna be supervising there and he hates being away from his family." Bud explained, "Believe it or not, their father was a superhero, too."

"Really? ...Meh," Aphrodite shrugged.

"Meh?!"

"While that is interesting, I find the fact he sees his family is more interesting. To keep bonds with your family is a strong familial Love."

"...You learned it was Valentine's Day, didn't you?" Bud groaned, "I knew you'd fall in love with this day...You don't know about next month, do you?"

"I expect it," Aphrodite replied as she pointed at his pocket.

"...Dang blast ninja," Bud grumbled as he pulled out the chocolate coated sunflower seeds in a bag with a 'With Love, Aphrodite' on it, "Anyway, I'm here 'cause I figure the other girl would move in on this day."

"You're against Amu?"

"...No…" he groaned, a look of he was not in the mood for this bit clear on his beaked face, "I mean to ensure things don't go wrong. Yamato has never been one to understand these things...Which, to be fair, happens a lot. From what I can tell by human standards, he's incredibly handsome."

"True. I had a vote done at the cafe and the cutest man category was won by a write-in of Yamato and he had only worked a little bit there for a day off at his job on orders from his superiors to take a day off," Aphrodite noted.

"It's that darn smile of his I tell you..." Bud sighed, "And the fact he's more caring then any man reasonably should. I swear, it's like he raises you sometimes." he sighed, "The tiger girl is moping...she's heading the opposite way of Yamato."

"She just saw her intended mate be kissed by another of his species just as attractive as her," Aphrodite replied.

"That girl is flirty," Bud added, "She's done that so often, Yamato hardly considers it more than just her being eccentric. Her chances aren't dashed yet."

"...I think she had the same idea."

"Hmm?"

"Her tail shot straight up."

"?" Bud looked around and then at his tail and Aphrodite's.

"...If you bothered to take the four others who can become Zyuohgers with you when you sealed the big cube, you'd learn that when she gets an idea her tail goes up and not just when there's a Deathgalien about," Aphrodite explained.

"Who told you that happens when Deathgaliens are around? That's an basic instinct reaction to murderous intent."

"When you are raised to be both Shinobi and Kunoichi, your murderous intent reaction gets screwed," Aphrodite replied, "Mine doesn't go up unless those Deathgaliens show up...or a filthy Raiju."

"Well, that's your problem. I'd drop you, but Rose would never let me hear the end of it." he said, pulling her up finally.

"?! Rose? Y...You know where she is?" Aphrodite asked, her eyes wide.

'D'oh!'


Meanwhile with Amu

"Ok, Amu. Don't worry...you still got the cuteness of being an animal and the tail. Yamato loves the tail," she told herself as Roll looked at her, the tiger pacing about.

"Amu-chan, I love you like an actual sister and not just a Shield Sister, but if you don't stop pacing, you are going to leave a donut hole in my floor and we will be having blades drawn," Roll warned.

"...Oh right. Sorry," Amu whispered as she sat down, tapping her cheek as she thought and pondered, "Hmm...but what to do…how can I be Yamato's date for the dance?"

"Knowing Yamato-san, he'd probably invite all of you who can hide as humans and not as cosplayers to it," Roll noted, "So that's how you get in, but the date? A bit harder."

"How?"

"You don't wait for him to ask; you ask him," Roll replied.

"...That is harder," Amu cringed, "And he's gonna be busy most likely...but…" she paused as she shot up, a determined icy fire in her eyes, "Nothing I can't tackle! I'll get his attention and ask him, even if it means eating the worst cooking in the world! ...Wait..." she looked at Roll, "Are there any other towns participating in this dance?"

"How would I know?" Roll asked.

"Right, it was a private invite...Wait. Where is it taking place?"

"I may be a Shinobi that doubles as a Kunoichi, but I didn't get a chance to look at it," Roll replied, "Then again, you froze me so there's also that."

"Oh...eh heh. Sorry about that," Amu chuckled sheepishly.

"It's fine," Roll noted...before their tails popped straight up, "And look at that. For once, they did good timing."


"I love you!"

"No, I love you!"

"Yay! Another success," the culprit cheered standing there was a female humanoid being, her torso was covered in a white armored jacket which worked to emphasis the female body as it tightened around the waist but curved around her chest area, a black and pink heart shaped breast-plate shield covered the center of her chest, her arms were covered in black armored sleeves with white shoulder padded armor with red hearts imprinted in each, her wrists covered by belt like bracelets with spikes extending from them, each hand ended in white gloves; her skirt was large and bell like with coat tails which fell around the side and back of her skirt, a black belt with a red heart symbol buckle, her legs covered in white high heeled boots. Finally her head was hidden behind a helmet colored in white with a heart shaped visor with pink eyes glowing behind it, the top of her helmet had a silver three pointed tiara with two rabbit ears extending upwards, the right er decorated with a heart like earring "Another successful Romance Shot!" she cheered in a cutesy voice as she twirled around an oddly shaped hand gun with a rifle like handle, and a thick rectangular barrel, and a small little keychain dangling from the handle.

"GAO!" Leo roared as he charge into the area, "ALRIGHT I...uh…" he looked at the scattered lovey-dovey couples, "...Did I come in at the wrong time?"

"Hello, friend! Are you in need of love?"

"...You're not related to my honorary Auntie, are you?" Leo asked.

"She sounds like a classy lady!"

"Hey wait a minute...you're not a human or a Mobian...What are you!?" he panicked.

"Do you feel lucky, punk?" she asked in a serious tone.

"Yipe!" he cried, reverting to Mobain form.

"You're gonna find a fine queen~" she grinned, pointing her shotgun at him, "Love Magnum, fire!"

"Gah!" he panicked, jumping aside and cartwheeling around multiple shots before sticking a landing, "Honoo Kakusei!" he shouted, transforming, "Savanna no Ouja! Zyuoh Lion!"

"Hi Zyuoh Lion~! Let my magnum hit you and let you fall in love with your destined one," she declared, shooting again.

He cried as the blast hit him and sent him skidding back, "OW!" he complained, "What's the big idea, lady?!" he cried as the energy bullets rolled off his suit, doing little more than hurt.

"Mission accomplished!" she smiled.

"Leo, are you alr…" Sela started before Lion tackled her, "Oi! What are you…?!"

"SELA! I LOVE YOU!"

"...HAH!?"

"SE-GAH!" he cried as he was punched and sent flying into the air, "What happened?! Where am I!? SELA, WHY YOU HIT ME~!?"

"Huh? My Love Magnum failed?! Oh I get it...he's a womanizer! No love for you!"

"Wait, what?! Now you listen…"

"Heartbreak Magnum!" she called out, pulling out a magnum with a broken heart on it.

"Gh?!" Sela avoided the shot, "Gunslingers...Of course it'd be gunslingers." she sighed, transforming mid flip to avoid another shot, "Make yourself useful." she ordered, picking up Lion and holding him like a shield as she rushed forward.

"WHOA!" Lion cried as he was then hit. "Ahh...Sela doesn't love me...no one loves Leo….no one~~~!" he cried as he was hit again, "What happened?! Why am I crying...I'm not crying; you're crying!" he got hit again, "Life...is...meaningless...empty pitch black nothingness…"

"You're using your friend as a shield?! You're going to be a lonely person...no love for you either!"

"I don't need fake love!" Shark snapped, swinging Lion around and blocking another shot before kicking her guns away. She then kicked her leg forward and hit the enemy in the side, knocking her away.

"Why you kick me...I'm a lover, not a fighter."

"Shut up! Girly girls like you annoy me," Shark said as she pulled out her buster in sword form and slashed the Kaijin across the chest multiple times before jumping back from another shot.

"I'm BACK! ACK!" Lion cried as the missed shot hit him, "You know that time...oh there it goes!" he cried, falling over and crying.

"That...is...one unpredictable weapon." Shark complained, blocking a swing before grabbing both of her arms and aiming them up, "Talk. Who's team are you on? It's Quval, isn't it?"

"Team Cupid~!"

"A new team!" she shouted, slashing the Kaijin making her cry and stumble over, "It doesn't matter how many of you Deathgaliens come after us. We'll stop your evil plans each time!" she declared.

"What's evil about love?" she asked, "He wouldn't have pounced you if he didn't feel a bit of love for you."

"You're annoying," she said, slashing her again, "Stop sounding like my honorary aunt and her family, dammit! It's creepy!"

"Oh? More agents of love? Splendid!" she beamed, "I can ask them for help and bring the world love and be rid of depression, hate, and despair forever! Also stop slashing me! My dress will be ruined and I'll be naked."

"Oh shut up!" Shark groaned, shooting her and making her cry in shock.

"Don't just get more violent!"

"Girly types like you paint all girls negatively." Shark sighed she then made for another swing before Lion stopped her. "Leo, what the hell?"

"Sela, I just realize something...Where the henchmen...and why is nobody hurt?"

"...You make a point." she note, elbowing him away.

"Why hit me?!"

"Cause you made a point...meaning this bullet calmed you down."

"Ah, she's right." Lion realized, "I want to yell and say I don't like this…"

Huh...everyone being so clingy, it's weird…"

"Yeah, she hits them with that gun...even the animals are acting all lovey dovey." Lion added before they were both shot as she ran off giggling.

"...Baka…" Sela blushed while she looked away from Leo.

"I'm back to normal!" Leo roared, "She must have goofed and hit me with the wrong gun!" he smiled, moving over to Sela only to get punched, "Ow…."

"Don't come close...it's creepy." she said shyly

"Yatta! Love bullet hit!" the kaijin beamed

"What's with those guns?!"

"Easy! Those that deserve love get hit with my Love Magnum! Those that act violent or have negative things about them don't get love, so they get hit by my Heartbreak Magnum!" she explained before posing, "I am the Agent Princess of Love, Himai!"

"You get back here, Himai!"

"Baka Leo, don't look at other girls!"

"Eh...but...wha?!" he gasped, confused.

"Tsundere love is so difficult, isn't it?" Himai giggled before running off.

"Get b-wait. What's a Tsundere?"

"Stop looking at girls!" Shark snapped, punching him into a building.


"Eh?!" Yamato gawked, hearing Leo reporting, "She can make people fall in love?"

=Hai...ah...she shoots with one gun you cuddle...hit with the other you cry...or...other things. I don't know...it hurt.=

"Where's Sela?

=That better not be a girl on the phone, baka!=

=She's acting Tsundere, and I don't even know what it is...but it HURTS~!=

"Wait, Sela got hit?"

"...I knew she was a Tsundere!" Aphrodite declared.

"So...what do we do...She can turn emotions against people…" Yamato muttered.

=Good news! I think I've been shot so much...I'm immune!= Leo cheered.

"Oh, good job, Leo-chan! You get a big juicy steak for becoming immune!" Aphrodite cheered.

=Yay! Auntie's steaks are the be-YEOW! She's biting my tail! She's biting my tail! Get her offa my tail!=

=Don't flirt with Ba-chan!=

"...Wow…"

=Yeah, it hurts! Oh and Himai more or less wants to rid the world of all negative emotions and make everyone fall in love= Leo quickly explained.

"..." everyone looked at Aphrodite.

"What? Even I know that that is a bad thing right there," Aphrodite pouted, "Just for that, only Leo gets the steaks."

=WHOO! MORE-YEOW! She has all of my tail! She has all of my tail! She's bitin' mah butt and mah tail!=

"Honestly, this Sela doesn't feel different from regular," Tusk shrugged, "Keep Aunt Aphrodite on the line."

"...Yeah...I think I'm gonna step out or ask that Yamato-chan puts it off speaker," Aphrodite replied.

"I'm gonna go look for this Himai. Tusk, you go help Leo, Amu come on." Yamato ordered.

"Wait, why do I have to help Leo?" Tusk frowned

"If Sela is under weird effects, what'll happen if she falls for me and you as well?" Yamato defended. "Or worse, what if it's infectious?"

"...Yeah...Can I get shark repellant?" Tusk asked Aphrodite.

"Data-Darling's busy being punished," Aphrodite replied.

"...Shark repellent isn't a real thing," Yamato sighed.

"..."

"...It's not a real thing on Earth," Yamato corrected, trying to ignore the awkward silence that followed, "Know what? Nevermind."

"Should we get Sonic and Roll for help?" Amu asked.

"No, let them enjoy Valentine's Day," Yamato smiled, "Besides, do you want to risk the Heartbreak Magnum on them?"

"Hmm...good point. Better safe than sorry," Amu agreed, imagining the effects.


"She wanted to tag along anyway," Amu smiled as Yamato and Sonic noticed the girls were dress pretty fancy.

"I have a normal change of clothes if it's actually casual," Roll noted, holding up a bag while she wore a dark-pink kimono with navy-blue wind patterns with her long hair pulled into an intricate bun with blue chopsticks in it to hold the bun in place.

"I'm uncertain myself." Yamato shrugged.

"Hmm?"

"Well, I honestly didn't intend to go. I was just joking before." he revealed, "Honestly, I never liked these dance things...it felt so awkward with so many eyes on me. I always went Stag, but for some reason that brought more attention to myself." he explained with a chuckle, "Man, people can be so weird, right?"

"He can't be that oblivious, can he?" Sonic asked the girls, "Can he?"

"..." Roll just giggled before kissing Sonic's cheek.

"It's part of his charm." Amu smiled.

"You sure this Himai will show up?" Sonic questioned, "You'd think she'd be careful after last time."

"I am afraid this enemy is not nearly as smart as that," Yamato sighed, "Besides...Valentines party? There are people all around the concept and scent of love strong in the air."

"I'm getting giddy just thinking about it," Roll admitted.

"While I admit love is important and powerful, having only love to control you isn't good." Yamato added, "Forsaking all other emotions for just one can't lead to anything good in the long run."

"Besides it sounds like she only focuses on romantic love," Amu added, "Love has more variations besides romantic."

"Oh so true," Roll nodded.

"Now where to begin looking…" Yamato muttered as he activated his eagle vision and began looking around, "I'll check high vantage points. Sonic, do your thing and check out of the way spots. Amu, you and Roll might be able to move around the social circles better than us."

"Actually, I think Amu would be better with you," Roll noted, "It would keep innocents away from you both if an emergency were to occur."

"That's a good point…" Yamato nodded, not noticing Amu giving Roll a happy look.

"Good idea," Sonic smiled to Roll, "Yamato is way too in hero mode right now."

"Arigatou, Sonikku," Roll thanked.

"Come on Amu." Yamato nodded walking off as she followed after his eyes aimed up forcing Amu to lead him around via holding his hand.

"As much as I'd love to also enjoy this thing alone, I'd rather we stop this nutso and then enjoy our night our way," Sonic added, "Yamato makes a good point. One kind of love driving all the time won't let people make the best choices. Plus, her love doesn't sound natural either..." he cringed, remembering the glimpse of the effect on Sela he saw.

"It's a perversion of everything a Sakurai stands for when it comes to Love," Roll agreed with a scowl.

"At least she doesn't sound evil...but boy will you give her one heck of a talking to after, huh?" he chuckled as they walked through the sea of couples and party goers.

"..."

"...Oh my god, you are," Sonic gawked, trying not to laugh.

"Someone has to teach her," Roll replied, "And if not me? We sic Kaa-san on her."

"By that point, I'd just feel sorry for her," Sonic admitted, earning a giggle from Roll.

"Where'd he go!?" a young man, wearing a kimono jacket panicked, "Ah mou...What kind of Yokai wanders this far for one day?"

"One who we know is really gullible, sadly…" a tall, blue-haired woman in a white jacket over a blue tee and jeans sighed.

"...Yokai?" Sonic whispered to Roll.

"Oh, Cyber-Tou-san told me about them. They're mythical creatures of Japanese lore," Roll explained, "Though he added that it could be stories based upon Mobians coming here in the past."

"Huh...Neat."

"I can't believe the dance is happening here and Sensei is forcing the entire class to go."

"Ai KITA!" a pompadour man shouted."Takkun, no complaining! Everyone gets a shot at love this day!" he declared, fixing his tie which had a crescent moon symbol on it.

"Even you, Sensei?"

"Sense's life is private." he did a 180 with a snicker hidden from them.

"That's a bit of neat tie," Sonic noted.

"I think I read that the moon was blown up a few years back and the one we see nowadays is just the collapsed form of what remained," Roll noted.

"Actually, someone took a moon from another universe and brought it here." A baby in a fancy suit told them.

"...Did that baby just talk?" Sonic whispered.

"Might be a medical condition," Roll replied, "And plausible. Weird things happen around us all the time, Sonikku."

"AH!" a young man panicked, coming and picking the baby up, "I'm sorry for him! Run, Reborn!" he shouted.

"Onore, Mao!" a man in red and black shouted, chasing him.

"...Just don't pay attention," Sonic muttered, pulling Roll away from the area.

"Hai, hai," Roll agreed.

"Earth...is weird in so many ways…" Sonic smiled as he realized just how much chaos was actually going on if anyone bothered to look away from their significant other for this night.

"But that just makes it all the more memorable, ne?" Roll giggled.

"You got that right," Sonic chuckled, wrapping an arm around her waist, "I kinda just want to keep watching the chaos." he admitted.

"Same," Roll admitted.

"Lala, that better not be a hentai invention."

At that, an explosion occurred

"Sensei!"

"I'm on it!"

"We...wait...is this dynamite...who throws dynamite?!"

"How are people not scrambling in panic right now?" Sonic asked as explosions went off, "Humans must have a high tolerance for weird."

"Just Japan…" a man with a red streak in his hair sighed as he walked by, "Just Japan…"

"...Was that weird to you?" Roll asked Sonic.

"By this point, what isn't and what is...no longer matches." Sonic shrugged.

"...Fair enough," Roll shrugged, "Ooh! They have strawberry cheesecake! Ikuze, Sonikku!"

"Hope Yamato and Amu are having a good time."


"Whoa…" Yamato awed at the amazing decorations put up.

He had gotten tired of using his eagle vision for so long, so he decided to take a break and rest his eyes. Mostly before they ended up taking on a red predatory bird look for a few hours like the last time he overused his powers. It made his angry glare much worse that day as all his friends were utterly terrified of him that day...and then Haseo whimpered and instead of fearing him, Roll and Aphrodite made him fear them.

"Whoa~! Heart shaped little cakes!" Amu awed, holding a plate up, "I wonder how they taste...MM! So sweet~!"

"Love, love and more love," a puffy pink-haired girl giggled, popping in and out of existence to deliver more cakes.

"...You saw that right?" Yamato asked.

"Sho good~" Amy mewled in bliss.

"Thank you!" the two jumped when the pink-haired girl popped up before them, "Courtesy of Sugar Cube Corner of the city of Ponyville!"

"That sounds like a town we have on Mobius…" Amu muttered, taking another bite of cake, "These are really good, miss…"

"Pinkie Pie, at your service!" the pink-haired girl answered with a bright smile, "And I'm here with my friends for the Valentine's Festival, and to help promote Sugar Cube Corner!"

"Well thank you, Pinkie-chan...you're a big help. And clearly the most popular caterer." Yamato smiled, "It's too bad the others couldn't come along...but…"


"AH!" Leo cried as Sela choked him out.

"Stop...bad! Bad Sela!" Tusk shouted, trying to drag her away, "NO! Don't murder Leo!"

"Air pipe crushing…can't roar..." Leo wheezed, "Get...the...airhorn…"

"Hey guuuuys…" Tails muttered before spinning right back around, "Nope." he shook his head before he was dragged back in by Tusk's stretching trunk.

"GET OVER HERE!"

=Yay! You used the meme!= Skye cheered.

"How did you get here?!"

=Oh, Tails made it too much like Aphrodite so I used her weaknesses on the digital copy of her and I am free= Skye grinned =And boy is everyone cheering for Sela=

"YOU'RE STREAMING THIS?!" the boys, minus Leo, snapped.

=Yep. It's titled 'Men fail to get Women' and we have over a million viewers!=

"I'd delete you if you weren't important to so many of us!" Tusk snapped, "Ugh...time for dad's old failsafe for crazy women."

=The girls on chat are all booing you now, Tusk=

"Aw shut up."

=And now they love ya? ...Well, my title is accurate for the video=

Tusk extended his trunk out and into the sink before sucking in a large amount of water. He then aimed and fired a blast of water which slammed both Sela and Leo against a wall due to the sheer water pressure of the blast.

"...Bwah! What happened?!" Sela gasped out once the water died down

"Oh thank god…" Tusk sighed, wiping his forehead with his trunk and spritzing himself with the remaining water, "Sela got some weird strength boost from that mind alteration."

"Mind alter-ARE YOU STREAMING THIS?!"

=And, folks, we are out of time. Men, don't do what Tusk did with your noses. It'd burn like heck. Bye~= Skye called as he ended the stream.

"You better delete that or so help me I'll get Tails to upload you into that Resident Evil game I've been hearing about!" Sela threatened.

=I go into emulators all the time to experience different worlds like my original did by travelling to different Zones when he was younger! Also depends, which one you talking about? The classics, the remake of 2, or 7?=

"One of the latter two."

=Hmm...zombie scientist with ever mutating cells due to a virus and a bio-weapon that wears a cloak as a limiter, or zombie rednecks controlled by a constantly aging girl with pseudo psychic powers via a mold-like substance...Challenge accepted!=

"Shut up!" everyone snapped, blowing his hologram away.

"We need to make a list of what Holo-Skye can't do," Tails muttered.


"...I'm sure they have it handled," Amu shrugged.

"Glad to see you two enjoying today," Pinkie noted, "You know...if you want some good ol' love advice, try talking to my friend Twilight's sister-in-law! She's practically the princess of love! ...Actually she's more like goddess of love in a sense, but semantics."

"Roll and her Mom didn't hear that, did they?" Yamato asked out loud.

"Can I get her number?" Amu whispered as Yamato looked around in worry.

"Busy with her hubby," Pinkie answered before a man with cobalt hair ran by, "...Speaking of whom, hey Shining! Wh-"

"Not now! Gotta find the perfect ice cream for her!" he shouted.

"Perfect ice cream!?" Pinkie shouted, "Really sorry but I got to help! This is my kind of mission!"

"Good luck!" Amu waved as Pinkie ran off, leaving a smoke cloud in her image as it waved before dissipating.

"...well, she was….overly-animated," Yamato slowly blinked, "...but seriously, did Roll and her mom hear that part about a princess of love?"

"I think she's busy." Amu said, seeing a swarm surrounding Roll.

"Oh my god! Roll-chan is real! I love your streams!" a civilian squealed in excitement.

"Oh Takun, Takun! It's Roll-chan~!"

"Lala, she's just a virtual YouTuber. That's a cosplayer obviously."

"Oh if only they knew…" Yamato smiled, "I guess Roll is really popular."

"From what I gather...she's the only person able to get good footage of our giant robot fights." Amu spoke up, "The news always has shaky footage from the ground or from really far away. Roll gets the good shots from nearby safe spots."

"Considering her upbringing and abilities, it's easy enough for her to find them, right?" Yamato noted.

"Yeppers!" Amu beamed before her phone buzzed, "Oh, the channel got updated. 'Will host special show for Valentine's Day...and will inform mother and try and meet this princess of love.'"

"Oh darn…" Yamato sighed.

"Aw...poor Yamato...You're always papa eagle mode..." Amu patted his shoulder.

"I can't help it...you guys are more than capable...but there is still so much you don't get about human norms…" he sighed.

"Well...we're making progress...sorta." Amu whistled innocently.

Meanwhile as she, Yamato, Roll, and Sonic enjoyed themselves, Aphrodite and Bud watched from a good distance, mingling in with the party goers to avoid suspicion.

"I must say, kudos to whoever prepared the strawberries for these snacks," Aphrodite noted, "It's almost good as one raised by a Sakurai."

"You Sakurai and your strawberry addiction." Bud said, ducking as Yamato almost made eye contact with him, "This Himai isn't here yet. This might be a dead end, not that it matters."

"How could you say that?"

"I've been watching the thing. If anything, it's just a little kid." Bud explained while pondering what exactly set the Zyuohgers after her.

"Perhaps. But it's not a complete waste. You are getting to watch something akin to a date for your metaphorical hatchling," Aphrodite noted.

"Do not call him my hatchling. He has a father already. I'm the annoying uncle/big brother figure who does things his way," Bud sighed.

"You're Uncle Jesse?"

"How do you know that show?" he demanded.

"Oh, Skye's last trip to Earth before you left and sealed it had him bring the complete series, a television, and a player for the series."

"Look, it's complicated...but yes, I am watching out for Yamato. A lot has happened since I came to Earth…" he sighed, moving his hand up to his human form's white hair, "I am the only one who can watch over him for the time being. I owe it to him to do this much…"

"Aw...Now that's sweet," Aphrodite giggled.

"Speaking of sweet…" he pondered, seeing some sweets, "I'll be right back. Free food is the best food." he explained walking off, and revealing he could somehow hide things in the feathers of his wings.

"You do that...I have to help my daughter find this 'princess of love' we've overheard about form that excitable pinkette," Aphrodite stated

"Oh my god woman, she's a princess and that means security and...ugh you're not gonna listen, so I better make sure you have a get away," Bud groaned, following her, "This is college all over again and I don't like it, cause you've had two kids and somehow not matured at all since then!?"

"Huh...I thought I heard Buddy's voice...oh well," Sonic shrugged, coming back from a lap to see Roll hounded by fangirls, "...Well...This has happened."

"Roll seems to be an Idol," Yamato chuckled.

"...Her site on YouTube?" Sonic guessed.

"Seems like it," Amu replied, "It does help she gives variety at times like guest co-hosts and that she's her own sponsor."

"Guest Co-Hosts?" Yamato and Sonic blinked.

"Oh, like Tails showing up, or when Nicole popped up," Amu recalled.

"Oh you had me thinking she had famous people on there," Yamato chuckled, "Sorry. When you say it like that my mind went to actual talk shows."

"Ah. ...Does Officer Kruger count?" Amu asked.

"What the…?! When did she get him on there?!" Sonic gawked.

"Oh, last week after helping do the standard evacuations," Amu replied, "...It kinda worries me that they have standard evacuation plans designed specifically for giant monsters and robots. It's like they got them on a weekly basis for decades."

"You have no idea how many times this happens in Japan by now, do you?" Yamato chuckled.

"...mmm…"

"The answer being every day a week at least two or three times a day," a voice spooked them as Yamato looked at Tendo Ryu.

"Ryu-san." Yamato smiled, shaking the man;'s hand.

"Oh, is that Yamato? He's so grown now." a woman spoke up as Amu and Yamato turned to a woman with long black hair dressed in a very nice dress suit.

Like Ryu, her clothing seemed to have little decorations indicative of there both having served in the same form of agency. Also, the brilliantly shining wedding ring was probably a good clue as to her relationship with Ryu.

'I'm feeling an odd kinsmanship with this onee-san,' Amu thought as she blinked twice, looking at Ryu's wife.

"Kaori-san," Yamato greeted with a wave.

"It's been a while, Yamato," Kaori greeted before looking at Amu, "Oh? Did you find a special someone at last?"

"Huh...oh!" he remembered, turning to Amu, "Well it's not that we are a couple...we've only known each other a few months now." he admitted, making Amu's tail fall, "But...I mean...who knows what the future holds, right?" he chuckled with a bit of a blush.

"?!" Amu's tail shot up at that.

"Oh, the mixed results…" Bud groaned, "Well...the interest is there...that should be enough for you to work off, right?"

"Love is what Love is," Aphrodite answered.

"Oh? You know one of my mother's phrases?" the two turned to see a young woman approach them, her hair a mix of pink, gold, and violet while she wore a pink blouse, matching skirt, tights, and high heeled shoes.

"I'm...how...woman explain." Bud turned to Aphrodite.

"It's one of the sayings my family's had for nearly several millennia," Aphrodite replied before giving a bow, "How rude of me. Sakurai Aphrodite. A pleasure."

"A pleasure," the young woman smiled before bowing a bit herself, "Princess Mi Amore Cadenza of the Crystal Empire, but you may call me Cadance for short."

"I never said Earth was totally normal…" Bud muttered.

"Princess? Ah, a girl some friends of my daughter met mentioned you."

"Pink hair like cotton candy and seemed to have ADHD with how excitable she is?"

"Why yes."

"She's friends with my sister-in-law and actually asked for my help with this party," Candace giggled, "And from your own name, you must truly embody love in all manners."

"It's something all my family learns from a young age."

"..." Bud began to scoot away slowly before both girls grabbed his arms while still conversing, 'I should have stayed in my hiding spot!'

"Oh no. You aren't leaving just yet," Aphrodite stated, not once looking at him.

"Indeed. My husband is currently busy trying to find something for me, and I'd love to talk with Lady Aphrodite," Candace added.

"Buzzard feed…" Bud groaned.

"Do you happen to know any good places to eat? I can certainly go for something chocolatey and strawberry flavored," Candace said to Aphrodite.

"Oh, I know several, one of which is the family cafe."

"Oh! The cafe I've heard about where you use strawberries in all your recipes with an animal motif?"

"It explains a lot when you think of it…" Bud lifted his hand above Aphrodite and pointed down at her, "Also, wow. Really? Everything?" he asked shocked.

"We've have millennia to perfect the recipes," Aphrodite confirmed, "And, no, the recipes are family-known only."

"That's fair enough. My mother use to make the most perfect strawberry angel food cake, using the sweetest strawberries she use to grow in the castle garden," Cadence nodded.

"...How sweet are we talking?" Aphrodite asked, "Because us Sakurai are known for…"

Candace said nothing as she reached into her purse and pulled out a small cooling container before opening it, showing a few strawberries before offering one to her, "Try it."

Aphrodite blinked as she took one and took a bit, her tail and ears shooting straight up as a shiver went up her spine.

'I got her…" Bud sighed, lifting her up over his shoulder, "It's okay...this is normal...at least according to her significant other...he left me instructions on how to handle this."

"Give it a moment," Candace stated.

"Delicious! Oh, it's delectable. Not too sweet, not too tough," Aphrodite noted, "It's quite a delicious strawberry with a lot of love and care placed into it!"

"Well of course. Strawberries are the fruit of love after all," Candace smiled, "And nothing's better than one grown in the Crystal Empire, especially the ones grown in my family's garden."

"...please tell me you'd be willing to cut a deal," Aphrodite begged, "My famiy garden was lost recently."

"Oh of course. In return, I would ask for a small favor," Candace said before whispering to her, "I was hoping you could help me perfect my chocolate brownie recipe. I could never replicate how my mother use to make it and trying to add my own twist to it."

"And I don't even have a Skye to punch…" Bud muttered.


Yamato sighed as he looked around. He could see tons of people, but so far nothing had happened. Perhaps this was a bad choice in the end, this place is already filled with love, why would she even come here. Wait a minute… A brilliant smile formed on his face to match the idea in his head.

"Yamato?" Amu blinked.

"Amu-chan...I think I have an idea to smoke Himai out." He explained.

"Idea?"

"I mean she must be enjoying this party...so I'm thinking she already had a run of the place, I think if we want her to come out...we need to give her targets," he spoke.

"I don't follow." Amu admitted.

"We need two people who don't look happy to be here…" Yamato explained slowly and waited for her to catch on.

"So...she can make them fall for each other!"

"Exactly."

"But...how do we do that?" Amu pondered, "We can't use Leo and Sela since she knows them already."

"True…we just need to find two people who don't want to be here. Even one would..." Yamato began.

"Mmm...where is he…?" a girl who looked to be in high school with her hair pulled back with a red bead-covered hairclip muttered as she looked around, a green, wooden sandal in hand, "Hina-chan, any sign of Togami?"

"No," A girl with tanned skin in a red track jacket and blue runners shorts answered as she shook her head,, her hair done into a ponytail done up in a swirl-like fashion, "Mmm...just our luck. We managed to leave Futo for the day for this festival, and he just leaves Toko like that."

"Oh-hoh-hoh...When I get my hands on him…" she whipped out another green wooden sandal, gold kanji saying 'Idiot Heartbreakers will die' on it, "He'll regret it."

"...Huh...My tail twitched just now. She has a tiny bit of bloodlust," Amu noted.

"...I wonder…" Yamato muttered as he approached the two, "Ano, excuse me!"

"Hmm?" the two looked over at him.

"What does this Togami look like?"

"...Oh. Well he has glasses, wears a business suit, blond-ish hair…" Asahina began.

"And he just screams rich douchebag," the girl with the sandals finished.

"...Is that him over there?" Yamato asked, pointing at a young man with the exact description as he sat near a white table, reading a newspaper.

"..." Amu and Yamato swore they heard a gun cock when the sandal girl whipped out her wooden sandals once more and adopted an intimidating face as she dashed over.

*BONK-BONK!*

"Gah!"

"That's for what you did, rich boy!"

"Did you see her move...Yamato?" Amu asked.

"Barely…" he muttered, "I flinched from the anger…" he chuckled out.

"Technically, she's the Ultimate Landlady afterall," the tanned girl stated, "..Oh sorry. I'm Aoi Asahina, but my friends call me Hina. The girl with the sandals was Akiko Narumi and...the 'rich douchebag' is Byakuya Togami."

"Pleasure...I'm Yamato...and this is Amu…" he motioned, "Just happy to help."

"Earth sandals must be the ultimate weapon…" Amu whispered to herself, hiding behind Yamato.

"...Hmm...maybe.." Asahina muttered before shaking her head, "Never mind. We need to try and get Togami to see reason."

"I refuse to go out with her! I did not even want to be here!" Byakuya argued, fixing his glasses before dodging a sandal.

"We got Toko to look nice just for you, and you stood her up!" Akiko argued.

"And yet you and Aoi managed to convince Shotaro and Philip to leave the city!"

"For a day! We needed some relaxation after dealing with that psycho bear and the Gaia Memories!"

"Does this make sense?" Yamato asked.

"Nuh-uh." Amu shook her head.

"...ugh. I don't need this…" Byakuya muttered as he walked off.

"...forget ultimate Affluent Progeny, you're the Ultimate Douchebag!" Akiko snapped.

"...Ultimate's…" Yamato whispered, "...Ano, by any chance do you go to that Kibougamine school over in Futo City?"

"Technically me and Togami do," Asahina pointed out, "I'm the Ultimate Swimming Pro."

"..."

"...what?" Asahina asked, tilting her head slightly.

"...Please do not say that near our friend Sela," Amu pleaded, "She is fierce in being competitive in water."

"...I'd accept the challenge, but…" Asahina paused as her stomach grumbled, "...I need donuts!"

"...maybe…" Yamato whispered to himself for a moment, "...You said your friend…"

"Friend is stretching it...kinda," Akiko stated, grabbing Togami by the scruff of his suit.

"...right. You said he didn't want to be here, right?"

"Massively," Byakuya deadpanned, "...you're planning on using me as bait for something, aren't you?"

"Does it happen often?" Amu asked in surprise.

"Several times," both girls replied.

"Alright, then you're use to it." Yamato smiled.

"Just like that?!" Byakuya asked.

"It's either this or I release you back to the nice girl with the sandals?" Yamato smiled.

"Yamato also deals with knuckleheads." Amu smiled, "But he punishes people with his scary glare of disappointment."

"...what do I get out of this in return?" Byakuya asked with a frown.

"..." Yamato crossed his arms in thought.

"We already offered...we let the nice lady with the sandals have at you again." Amu smirked, "Unless...you'd rather we let her have at you again...cause it's no skin off our nose if she dents your skull."

"...I deal with her everyday. Your argument falls flat o-"

"You do it, or I lock you in a room with her," Akiko threatened, making Byakuya tense up.

"Like I said...we could leave you to the nice Landlady…" Amu smirked, "Or you can help us and be done with this day...and get out before the crazy stuff happens. Your call, Megane-kun." she teased, pushing up his glasses.

"...ugh….what do you want me to do exactly aside being bait?"

"You're gonna draw out a crazy lady with the power to make two people fall in love by vocally voicing how much you don't want to be here." Amu explained.

"Yeah more or less…" Yamato sighed.

"You must be joking." he muttered.

"It's this or the closet." Akiko smiled, "Also Philip and Shotaro are literally halfway across town at the bike show with the other guys...so...these guys might just literally be your only line of defense for the day."

"...wh-"

"Kyoko and Naegi are busy, so you're stuck with us," Asahina added.

"Oh, and we'll give you coupons for half-off your entire order at the Animal Heart Cafe," Amu added.

"?! That's the new cafe that opened in this city recently, right?" Akiko whispered to Asahina.

"I heard it was crazy popular with some of the best food in town!" Asahina hissed, too excited to keep her voice down any lower.

"He'll do it!" they both declared.

"Now wait a…"

"Roll-chan, we need a sample! Boy right here to convince!" Amu called before a cookie shaped like a Bo Shuriken covered in a pink frosting went into his mouth.

"Ack! Now see…" Byakuya began before blinking, "...Odd...not too hard, nor soft...no hint of burns, but not cold...not overly sweet but not bland…"

"And that's just from the dessert menu," Amu grinned.

"...After we're done, I want to hopefully propose a business deal," Byakuya stated.

"The owner will be glad to do so," Amu replied.

"Excellent, then lead the way."

"Oh you are good," Asahina whispered in awe as she looked at Amu, "...Also please tell me you have donuts too."

"The best!" she smiled, "But they only serve them during morning hours, so be there early."

"She left the moment you said 'during morning hours'," Akiko pointed out.

"Eh?" Amu blinked as she looked around, not seeing any trace of Asahina anywhere.

"...How did she do that?" Yamato asked, "Sonic and Roll barely manage to do what she just did…"

"She really loves donuts," Akiko pointed out, "Me and her once sat outside the bakery...at 6 in the morning just so she can get some of the donuts just as they're made."

'I wonder if she's been to that 'Krispy Kreme' donut place on the other side of the planet Data-Skye talks about his original liking when he came to Earth at times,' Amu pondered before shaking her thoughts away, "Okay, then let's get started on Operation Love/Hate Attraction."

"You already had a name?" Yamato and Byakuya asked in shock.

"Always think ahead," Amu giggled.

"Ooh! And to add to it, I'll get Toko-chan to help!" Akiko beamed.

"Wait, what?" Byakuya blinked before Akiko ran off, "No wait! That wasn't part of the deal!"

"Suck it, rich boy!"

"...I swear this better be worth it."


"Phwa…" Roll sighed in relief beside Sonic as they sat on a bench, "I didn't think I'd be swarmed by so many people…"

"I thought humans didn't move in swarms…" Sonic muttered.

"I think Data-Tou-san said that 'fans are more like animals than even Mobians at times,'" Roll noted.

"Serious question...what's with your Virtual Dad and his hatred of all things fan or fanatic?"

"Oh, that's because Tou-san's original thesis was a study on them before something happened and he changed it to something else," Roll replied, "He...never really told me why. At least, not until I was older, but…" she looked at the sky, frowning while trying to find where the Deathgaliens were in orbit.

"Right...sorry wrong question…" he sighed, "Let's just be happy they don't have anyone out and about today. Otherwise this day would really be ruined...if not for the possibly alien girl with mind altering energy guns. …What does normal mean again?"

Roll giggled, "I think normal is overrated. It's just nice to enjoy each day's surprises. Still...No sign of her yet, ne?"

"Not a bit," Sonic snorted, "Honestly, we got so much lovey-dovey stuff in the air, how is she not here?"

"...Maybe we need it to not have it," Roll noted.

"I don't get it…"

"Roll, we need your help! We're gonna trap the crazy lady by giving her targets to come after. Oh Sonic good...you can speed them out of the trap. Wanna enjoy your date? Come on!" Amu said at such speed Sonic was jealous as she pushed them towards where their trap would take place.

"Eh? Nani? Nani-nani?" Roll pondered before noticing Byakuya, "Hm...He seems like someone who flaunts his money around…but tries to do good things through the flaunting."

"Bingo!" Akiko cheered, appearing next to them, "AH! I know you!" she freaked happily, turning to Roll.

"Later!" Amu and Asahina informed.

"Right, right…" Akiko replied with a cringe before turning to Byakuya, "Alright, you know what to do. For the coupons!" Asahina lightly chopped her head, "For the safety of people!"

"We just need you...to be you." Yamato chuckled.

"Make it SUPER clear how much you don't want to be here." Amu added.

"...Huh...They already thought ahead of what you were thinking, Roll," Sonic noted.

"Data-Tou-san must have been teaching Amu-chan how to plan ahead," Roll nodded.

"It was Yamato." Amu explained.

"OH!" they both said in unison.

"Well that was a confidence boost…" Amu rolled her eyes.

"And begin!" Akiko ordered.

"...Ugh...Fukawa isn't here...thank god," Byakuya sighed in relief, "Honestly, I did not want to be here. I'd rather wait at the office and wait for the next case rather than be here for some stupid holiday made to drain cash out of people for 'love's sake' and feeding people's base desire to procreate."

"..." Roll began to pull out another katana.

"No…" Sonic scolded, pushing the hand holding the handle back into where she was pulling it out.

"It's all an act Rolly...all an act...I hope…" Amu cringed the last part.

"What was that last bit?"

"All an act!" Amu replied quickly.

Yamato motioned for Byakuya to talk louder, much louder.

"...ugh fine! I'm only here because I was dragged along by the others!" Byakuya shouted, "I detest this holiday with every fiber of my being, especially since I had to deal with Fukawa and that psychotic other personality of hers! I may keep her around for certain reasons, but she is creepy and stalkerish! And furthermore, I keep telling her to bathe, and yet she doesn't listen! This stupid thing called love is a myth!"

"MYTH?!" Roll snapped before Sonic held her back and got her tail stuck in her mouth.

"MYTH!-?-!-?" Himai's voice snapped.

"Bingo," everyone spoke up as even Roll snapped out of her little rage episode due to how much louder that was.

"Ptoi!" Roll spat her tail out before it stuck up straight along with Amu and Sonic's tails, "Well...that was good acting."

"Right…" Yamato nodded, "Sonic…" he pointed simply.

"On it." he gulped as he blurred grabbed Byakuya and carried him away.

"Matte!" Himai shouted as she jumped and landed where he use to be standing, "That man...oh what he just said..he deserves no love whatsoever, even from family! In fact...anyone that knows him deserves no love from ANYONE!"

"...Maybe too good…" Asahina cringed.

"See...you overreacted...but this...just no…not good whatsoever." Amu pointed out to Roll.

"Is she trying to declare who can love and who can't?" Roll questioned, her eye twitching.

"I AM! Everyone here deserves no love!" Himai declared, pulling out her heartbreak magnum, "I AM THE AGENT PRINCESS OF LOVE, AND I DECIDE WHO GETS LOVE AND WHO DOESN'T!"

"That's not how it works!" Yamato declared, stepping forward, "No one has that kind of right or power. We won't let you mess with the feelings in people's hearts! The love you give people is false and based on the will you force upon others!"

"No! It is righteous and truthful! I am getting rid of all negative emotions and make it so love is the true emotion in the worlds! Only love and happy emotions! If you hate love, then you don't deserve any, not even a parent's love!"

"..." Yamato took a loon breath at that, "It's like talking to a child." he sighed as he flipped up his Zyuoh Changer, "Honno Kakusei!"

"...fine. Then you deserve nothing but sadness..heartbreak...despair!" Himai snapped, Asahina and Akiko flinching at the mention of 'despair'.

"Please get people to evacuate, Sonikku," Roll informed.

"Huh? Hey, wait a…" Sonic began before Roll looked at him.

"This is my fight because her actions insult everything my family stands for. I know you may not like my reasoning, but this is my fight, so please help get the people out," Roll spoke.

"...stay safe," Sonic said, grabbing Akiko and Asahina before running off.

"Ooh look at you wearing the pants in the relationship." Amu smiled happily, "Way to go Roll."

"What?!" Eagle cried as he blocked several bullets with his Eagriser, "They curve?!"

"Of course! They aim right at the hearts of those I say don't deserve love!" Himai argued as she continued to fire.

"Of course they do…" Eagle sighed as he slashed his sword and cut several of them out of the air before flicking his wrist and sending the whip like blade out and wrapping around the wrist of her hand which held the Heartbreak gun. He pulled and dragged her forward and rolling across the ground before coming to a stop by hitting a bench.

"Gah! You insuffera…" Himari growled, whipping her guns out once more only for the barrels to be clogged with a Bo Shuriken each.

"Love isn't something that you control," Roll glowered, a Bo Shuriken between each of her left hand's fingers while her new katana was in her right hand, "It's a force that can't be controlled, only nudged."

"No nudge! With love, you go full force!" Himai argued as she pulled out a new set of guns, "Only someone with no love in their heart would say that!"

"Love...doesn't work that way," Eagle spoke, "Love can't be forced by anyone...it's something that happens with time."

"As Aunty says; 'Love just is,'" Amu's voice added before Himai barely jumped out of the way of a blast of icy winds from Tiger where she had been before yelping in pain as Roll blurred by her, delivering multiple slashes with her katana.

"The only ones who say love can be controlled are those with nothing to love in the first place," Roll added.

"WHAT?! I...I DO HAVE LOVE!" Himai argued, "I BRING LOVE EVERYWHERE, NOT LIKE THOSE MANIPULATIVE YOKAI CREATURES!"

"...I really hope you're not insulting any of my ancestors that people mistook as Yokai," Roll glowered.

"Ah...this is just one of those days." Eagle sighed, aiming his EagRiser across his arm as they stood their ground waiting for her next move, "Worst possible day for one of those days to...I really didn't want to ruin your date Roll."

"It's alright. This will be over in a few minutes and we can resume it," Roll replied.

"Besides...she doesn't even have grunts...this will be fun." Tiger added.

"Of course I have Grunts! Ikuyo~!" Himai called out as within a matter of seconds, Goumin, sandy mole-like creatures, masked creatures, ghoul-like creatures, and other creatures bursted out.

"...Amu…."

"I know...I know…" she cried behind her mask.

"Are those...drills for its face?" Roll pondered, looking at the sandy mole-like creatures before they froze and slowly turned their heads to her, "...Ah. A berserk button." she blurred out of the way as they dogpiled where she had been, ending up in a fight cloud pummeling one another, "Not very bright either…"

"I'll handle the grunts. Amu, Roll, think you can handle Himai?" Eagle asked as he lifted his hand up to his mask.

"Gladly," the girls replied with a thumbs up.

"Honno Kakusei!" he declared sliding his mask up as he changed into Gorilla, making the grunts all stop mid charge as he bulked up, "You're mine!" he roared while flexing his arms, making the grunts pale.

"...Amu-chan, are you drooling in your helmet again?" Roll deadpanned.

"No, no. I'm not doing that," Tiger replied.

"I hear it sloshing."

"...She also says that strawberries should be destroyed."

"SHE DIES!" Roll snapped, leaping at Himai with a second katana in hand.

"Not even gonna question where she suddenly got two…" Tiger muttered, "Just gonna pray one day she doesn't rip off that one show and begin using three." she sighed as she rushed along with her.

The two girls swung their swords, deflecting shots from Himai before closing the distance and kicking her back. Tiger swung around and slashed the unknown monster across the chest, making her stumble back with a cry of pain. Roll jumped over Tiger's shoulders and swung both her swords down and added to the damage by cutting Himai across the torso. The two cartwheeled and flipped over Himai, distracting her by forcing her to turn around only to get slashed by both at the same time, sending her stumbling back and tripping over her own heels.

Gorilla roared as he swung his arms sending them all flying off into the air. As they began falling back down, he swung and punched them all sending their bodies flying and exploding in mid-air. Gorilla snorted, blowing steam from his mask's 'nostrils.'

"Ready for a combo?" Roll asked.

"You bet!" Tiger replied.

"Roll!" Gorilla shouted, tossing her his EagRiser, "A loan for today!" he grunted, holding several of the surviving grunts in headlocks.

"Arigatou!" Roll thanked, catching it and quickly ran her hand along the flat side of the blade, engulfing it in a red glow, "Shoot and Slash?"

"Shoot and Slash!" Tiger agreed, replacing her weapon's blade cube with the blaster cube.

With that, Tiger aimed her blaster at Himai as Roll prepared to swing her blade.

"Eh wait...what are you both...?" Himai blinked at the aura glowing around them.

Tiger pulled the trigger, firing a cube of energy at Himai. Roll roared as she swung her blade, releasing a large slash made of the red energy. The two collided, forming into a bird-like shape made of pink energy that struck the stuned Himai.

"Ha…" Gorilla growled as he pulled his fist back before punching, his fist igniting with fire as he sent the last grunts flying into the air before exploding like fireworks.

"That's...unfair…" Himai groaned, falling over and exploding.

"We...we made...aw man!" Lion groaned as the trio of Zyuohgers arrived just as the flames of the explosion died down.

"No one insults the strawberries or tries to control the uncontrollable force that is love!" Roll declared.

"...She said things she shouldn't around a Sakurai, didn't she?" Elephant asked.

"Yep!" Tiger replied.

"Ah...well at least she's not a Deathgalien so she can't grow big!" Lion laughed.

"Crap…." everyone cursed as Roll tossed a rock at his helmet.


"ZzzZzz….Ah...uh...Naria continue…" Ginis snorted, waking up from some kind of stasis sleep.

"H-hai…" she yawned, stepping on the teleporter.

"Wait...were we having a game today?" Ginis asked, "Ah well...ZZZzzzzzzZ!" he snored as a bubble of energy formed from his nose.

"Squishy...don't worry...daddy's got you..." Azald snorted holding Eggman in a killer hug as he rested in a bed. Quval sleeping within a pod which worked to heal and upgrade his mechanical body.


"Itai…" Himai groaned still in one piece.

"She's alive?!" Lion freaked.

"Huh...she's remarkably strong." Roll and Tiger muttered.

Everyone then stopped as the green coins landed and Naria walked out with a yawn.

"This...ah...this has Ginis-sama's cellular energy...please don't waste...waste it...whoever you are." she muttered, jamming the coin into Himai's forehead.

"...I know she's the enemy, but I can relate to having those kinds of sleepy episodes," Tiger noted, Roll and Lion nodding in agreement before everyone moved back when Himai grew gigantic.

"Eh?! I'm HUGE!" Himai exclaimed.

"...Well, wasn't expecting to stream a fight today…" Roll noted, "Wild Zyuoh King?"

"I'd really like to put an end to this so...yes." Gorilla sighed as he pushed his mask down and reverted to Eagle, "It's...easier to pilot in this form." he chuckled to Roll.

"Understandable. Your muscles seem to strain a lot when you use Gorilla and it must be hard to sit at the controls...or sit at all," Roll noted before running off to set up.

"Minna Doubutsu Gattai!" Eagle shouted as they all tossed their Cube Animals into the air along with the weapon Cube Animals.

=Yon-San-Ni-Go-Ichi-Roku! WILD ZYUOH KIN~G~!=

"Konnichiwa, minna~! Roll-chan reporting on Valentine's Day!" Roll greeted to the camera, "Today's battle is important to all lovers out there. The unstoppable Wild Zyuoh King going up against Himai, a bad girl who thinks Love can be controlled and believes only she can control who and who can't have love." she glanced at the comments, "I'm in agreement with the chat. She's going down quickly because we all want to celebrate tonight."

"Wait...you're taller?! That's not fair!? Itai!" she cried as Wild Zyuoh King punched her, making her stumble back.

"You're really annoying!" Lion shouted, spinning his controller as Wild Zyuoh King delivered an uppercut that knocked Himai off her feet and landing in the park.

"Owie~! You meanie!" Himai snapped as she pulled her guns out, "No love for you!"

"Wild Zyuoh King only loves one thing!" Tiger cheered, "And that happens to be beating bad people who try and force their wills on others!"

"That's too specific and the fact it fits with what we do makes me feel sad…" Elephant muttered.

"Ah! Be careful, Wild Zyuoh King! Those heartbreak shots might affect the Cube Animals individually!" Roll called out.

"Good point!" Tiger realized as she had the livestream playing on the smartphone she borrowed off Yamato.

"Is that my Earth cellphone?" Eagle blinked, "You're watching her stream while we're fighting?!"

"No time! Dodging time!" Tiger replied.

"We can dodge?" Shark asked.

"We normally just let them hit us 'till they run out of energy." Elephant realized, "But if those shots do work on the Cube Animals…"

"I got it! Come on, legs! Let's move!" Lion cheered.

Wild Zyuoh King skipped to the left before running in a circle around all the buildings, letting the energy bullets hit and nullify themselves against the walls of concrete. It then grabbed its sword and swung, deflecting several blasts before skidding to a halt. Wild Zyuoh King swung its sword and cut a radio tower off a building and sent it flying like a spear at Himai, who cried and ducked as it landed in the parks lake.

"Hahaha!" Lion laughed before Shark used the cube that surrounded her to lift herself up and kick him, making his helmet spin around, "AH! I can't see...I've gone blind!"

"Well...I expected a big laser finisher, but this is much more interesting," Roll admitted, "Ike, Wild Zyuoh King!" 'I get the feeling Leo was being himself.'

"Oh duh...we have the big chest laser thingy! Thanks Rolly!" Tiger bopped the side of her helmet.

"Right. Hit her with the finisher once she gets back on her feet!" Eagle ordered as they inserted their cubes back in with the red side pointing at them.

"Zyuoh Dynamic...STRIKE!" they all roared.

Wild Zyuoh King roared as its chest began glowing red. The cubes began extending out like pistons each one extending out and back multiple times as massive amounts of energy gathered. Wild Zyuoh King swung both arms down as he unleashed all that energy as eight different colored blasts with the astral projections of the cube animals which formed the mecha guiding the blast.

"Ugh...wh-What's that light?" Himari groaned as she got up in time to see the energy coming out at her, "Oh...I think my heart's gonna be the thing that breaks!"

"And there's the hissatsu! The Zyuoh Dynamic Strike!" Roll cheered, "See? This was a fast battle. Gomen nassai if you were expecting more, minna. Sayonara~"

"Ow…" Himai's voice groaned from the smoke.

"Uso she survived!" Shark gawked as the smoke dissipated, showing Himai survived Wild Zyuoh King's finisher and just shrank down.

"Why...why can't any of you accept love in your heart?!" Himai declared crying as the party goers and the Zyuohger surrounded her with Roll joining back with Sonic nearby, "This is fake love, all of it! The world gets worse and worse everyday! It used to be so beautiful and filled with honest love, now I don't even see the true love anymore!"

"Baka," a young man spoke up as Sonic and Roll saw the kid with his pompadour sensei, "Who said love was something you can see?"

"...Eh?" Himai blinked.

"Love is something you hear, and feel, listen to the heart." the kimono jacket wearing teen added, the bluenette by his side with a white and blue dog in her arms, chocolate smeared on its content muzzle, "Trying to see love with your eyes isn't smart."

"You gotta feel it!" the pompadour man shouted. "Inside my heart is the love for my friends, my family and my sensei! Even if their not be my side i love my friends Ai no KITA!"

"Love isn't something easy," the young man with the baby on his shoulder stepped up, "For some people love has to be earn, love has to be found you can't just force it, you have to want it, earn it, work for it. But it has to be on each individual person terms"

"That takes too long!" she argued, "When it finally happens, you miss your chance."

"Then you miss your chance." those who spoke up shot back, making her look in shock.

"Love isn't one and done." the teenager with the baby and the kimono jacket wearer said standing up side by side.

"Do you think it's easy?" the student said standing up with his teacher. "Look at the heroes who fight for this insane country and planet, they fight with love, justice and peace in their hearts, they have someone they love motivating them every step of the way, in order to make the people they love happy they have to fight."

"Sometimes it's easier with the people you love at your side." the couple with the mini t-rex spoke up, "My wife and I met during a battle of bravery!"

"Wow! Love brings people together in such mysterious ways!" the wife smirked.

"When I met my wife, we didn't fall in love right away. In fact, she was in love with my best friend." Ryu smirked, "However as time grew on, some things weren't meant to be and next thing I knew? I was in love again."

"Again?" Himai blinked.

"Ahh. My first love died. I lost her and the pain in my heart was unbearable, but with the friends I made and the love I found at the end of my war, I was able to finally move forward and these are my proudest achievements!" he laughed, hugging his son and daughter who groaned at that declaration.

"Dad~" they groaned together

"...see Himai?" Zyuoh Eagle asked as he landed on the ground with his team the mecha slowly shrinking down and letting each piece land on their shoulders, "Love is not just so simple as romance. Love can come from any relationship or bond...Love is one of the strongest emotions in the world...but it can only grow strong when tempered by the many other emotions which dwell within us. There are such things as loves that hurt from unrequited feelings...or love which can blind and lead you astray."

"There's nothing wrong with being Lovey-dovey...but if that's all you think about, you'll ignore the other important people in your life." Tiger added.

"Yeah!" Lion agreed, his helmet still on backwards...causing him to face towards the crowd of people then their enemy.

"Shut up…" Elephant and Shark sighed.

"But...I...and that…" Himai muttered unsure of how to respond to the heroes.

"Ugh...okay we tried, Roll!" Shark shouted.

"Yes, she's right here, Kaa-san," Roll informed before hanging up, "And...cue the rope."

"Rope?" Himai repeated before a steel-woven rope wrapped around her before she was pulled into the nearby open sewer entrance, "WHOA!"

"And done," Shark smirked behind her helmet while crossing her arms.

"...I'm kinda sorry for her. She's gonna get lectured by Auntie of all people," Elephant muttered under his breath.

"Better her than us," Shark argued.

"True!" he agreed.

"Ah...group hug for the win!" Lion cheered, hugging random people, "Wow, Sela, you got taller all of a sudden."

"Ah Lion, that's not…" Eagle began before Lion was tossed into the air and into the park's pond, "Uh...nevermind...have...have a good day citizens!" he chuckled, trying to sound heroic, "Let's go…" he hurried the others to find a place to de-transform in private.

"I'll get the fishing rod," Sonic rolled his eyes before zipping over to the pond with a fishing rod to hook Lion and pull him to land.

"Bye!" Roll waved to some people as she followed the others.


"Oh finally…" Tusk sighed as they all walked out of a storage shed for the groundskeeper.

"Yes...because this doesn't look weird at all..." Sela sighed with sarcasm.

"LEO CAN SEE~!" Leo roared in glee.

"You know maybe you should consider doing that thing from those hero movies and not have a secret identity?" Sonic offered.

"Yeah...not sure having fans of our hero personas swarming us all day sounds smart," Amu pointed out, "We're overbooked at the cafe as is normally."

"Yeah, speaking of...we're going to have a lot more the rest of the week," Roll noted.

"Eh?!" the others exclaimed.

"Kaa-san already made flyers that we're doing an entire week of Love," Roll explained, "Exclusive memorabilia and a raffle for giving a chocolate to a worker of their pick."

"Aw man~!" the main workers of the cafe whined.

"Well...at least we can check this...villain...enemy...antagonist off our list…?" Yamato muttered.

"Now now dear, remember the deal," Aphrodite's voice spoke.

"Yes, mother...but are they going...I mean I was so…"

"Ah ah ah, I love you, and they'll love you, but you gotta give it a shot." Aphrodite said, coming in with an embarrassed Himai in a maid attire.

"..." Sela and Tusk moved behind Leo.

"SHE'S BACK!" Leo roared, "Wait...her mask comes off?!"

"I guess Aphrodite won this round," Yamato chuckled.

"...gomen," Himai whispered.

"Eh?"

"Gomen...nassai for what I did," Himai sighed, "It just...I..was created to help bring love to the world as my creator intended."

"Creator?" Yamato blinked.

"So you took your job out of hand and caused trouble for everyone." Leo blurted, making her slump her head, "It's okay...your a fellow idiot like me!" he laughed, causing a depressed aura to form over her.

"Idiot," Sela muttered, smacking Leo upside the head.

"...Are...you a cyborg?" Yamato asked.

"...I am yes," Himai nodded, "That mask is...my 'secret identity' if you will, and...like I said, was created to bring love to the world….but...I went overboard…My...creator died before they could put the finishing touches on, and...my settings were put into maximum."

"...Then why did you sound like a m-" Amu began.

"Filter in the mask."

"You're intense for a girl, you know that?" Leo muttered, earning a slap from both Sela and Amu.

"You have to be when you're an agent of love and justice!" Himai declared before flinching at the stern look Aphrodite gave her, "...sorry."

"It's alright. You're still learning," Aphrodite informed, "But you'll still be working here for the rest of the week so I can keep teaching you."

"Well I guess we can relax for the rest of the day." Yamato sighed changing the topic, "tomorrow we'll figure out what else to settle. It's still a day for people to enjoy. I could use a good rest at home though." he yawned walking off.

"Oh me too!" Leo cheered before his tail was yanked, "No! No work!" he cried as Tusk dragged him off.

"You caused us plenty of trouble and you and Sela need to work off the pain and damage you caused due to the mind altering effects." Tusk explained.

"No!" Leo cried, reverting to his mobian form and trying to claw his way to freedom, "No please! No more work! Leo wants to nap to!"

"You'll work and like it, you big baby."

"HELP~!"

"Bye~bye!" Amu waved.

"You know you're helping too, right?" Sela asked.

"Look! Obvious distraction!" Amu pointed. Sela turned around before Amu grabbed Yamato's arm and pulled him away.

"WHOA!"

"Wait...what do we do about the whatever she is!?" Tusk shouted, "What if she does this all over again next year?!"

"Well...I guess that makes it the next Super Sentai's job!" Yamato chuckled.


"ACHOO!" a young man with short black hair wearing a blue and red jacket with a silver shoulder sneezed suddenly as he was about to eat a blue colored ice cream popsicle.

"You okay, Lucky?" a young man with spiky brown hair asked, dressed in reds, whites, and black with several zippers on his clothes.

"Ah...it was just wierd…" Lucky explained, scratching his nose, "Eh I'm sure it's nothing bad. After all, what could go wrong on Valentine's Day?" he laughed before they both looked at a source of beeping, before Lucky held up a wrist mounted device which looked like a cartoon-ish space gun strapped to his arm, "What's up, Commander?"

=Lucky! Sora! We think we figured out the next world the Organization is going to head to! We need to deploy to intercept them!=

"On it, Commander!" Sora saluted as he shot up, "What's the next world gonna be like?"

=Might want to grab a warm winter coat…=

"Yosha Lucky!" Lucky cheered, "Lets go Sora! I feel like testing their luck this time!"

"Betcha I can beat more Heartless and Indavers than you!" Sora challenged.

"Oh it's so on!"
