Quina came out from the kitchen with a big dish of heart-shaped cookies, covered with bright red sprinkles. As s/he placed the plate on the table, Eiko asked, "Uh, Quina? Why are they hearts...?"
"I not know. Zidane just say to make red hearts," was Quina's answer.
Zidane knew about them, Eiko thought…somehow. Vivi knew why.
Nobody was in the room, except for them. The cookies were delicious to their tongues; of course, regarding it's a Quina recipe! Needless to say, those cookies were mirror images of their own affection. They were sweet like the warm feeling toward one another, and red like the cheeks puffing into blushes. Adding to the rosy room they were in, this feeling took them into a dreamy place.
Freya and Fratley attempted to climb on the side of the castle and too anxious to think of other ways to watch Vivi and Eiko. Being Dragoon knights, they could climb almost as well as jump, though seldom practiced in training. The two of them climbed as silent as a mouse, or preferably, a rat. Step by step, hand-by-hand, they ascended up in an orderly pace. There was the window, only few more yards away...
But they weren't the only spies around. Zidane and his queen were watching the young ones as well through the crack of the door.
Vivi and Eiko, wordless, looked at each other. The bright yellow eyes and the jade eyes met, and their hearts were beating fast. They couldn't express their feelings to each other. It was impelling for them.
"I couldn't. How should I say how I feel to her? I couldn't describe it..." Vivi thought.
"What's this? This is the same feeling I felt for Zidane before... " Eiko pondered at the same time. "Vivi?"
"Yes, E-Eiko?"
"Well..." Before she continued her sentence, they heard the guards stomping outside and yelling, "Thieves! Hurry! We have to catch them!!"
"Man! Just when things are getting kinda fun here!" Eiko complained to herself. Vivi heard that and wondered what exactly did she meant by that. "Come, Vivi," she said, "Let's go and check it out! We'll go and help catch the thieves that are invading the castle!!"
"O-ok…" Vivi replied. Eiko ran before Vivi.
"Come back here, thieves!" a soldier cried out. A group of them were following two mysterious figures in black. Obviously, they didn't know who those two really were. The thieves jumped from level to level, attempted to avoid from causing a whole chaos in the castle.
"I think we should just reveal ourselves. It's pointless to continue this silliness." One of the dark figures said.
The other replied, "You're right… though it was fun for the time that lasted…"
The soldiers halted as they allowed the two "thieves" to jump down. "Friends, we aren't here to bring any harm to your King and Queen. Please forgive us. Here, allow us to unmask ourselves, and perhaps you shall know us better."
"B-Burmecians…? Are you not Lady Freya?!"
"Yes, and I'm Sir Fratley of Burmecia. Please forgive our doings, but we have reasons, you see…" Freya tugged his arm as she saw Zidane and Garnet coming, followed by Eiko and Vivi.
"Freya! Sir Fratley! So good to see you here!" Zidane cried out, "W-wait a sec, so you are the thieves the guards were yelling about?"
Freya giggled. "Y-yes, you may say that-"
Suddenly, Eiko tackled Zidane on the side by accident and ran toward the two Burmecians and yelled, "FREYA! FRATLEY! YO! GOOD TO SEE YA'LL! Hey, why are you dressed in black? Are you the thieves? Hey, how could Burmecian Knights be thieves?" She turned toward the female soldiers, "How could they be thieves? You should watch who they really were before-"
Then Zidane placed his hands on top of Eiko's shoulders. "Hold it hold it! Calm down Eiko. Let's go inside first and we'll talk."
"Actually…" Freya started, "Eiko, why won't you accompany Vivi?" Then Eiko turned around and found Vivi standing behind all of them by himself. He looked so lonely and sad that Eiko couldn't but feel guilty that she ran without waiting for the shy Black Mage. "You're right…" Then Eiko scampered toward Vivi and said cheerfully, "Vivi, let's go back to the room! I mean we left the delicious cookies that Quina made for us." Vivi nodded and they both dashed off together.
Garnet greeted the Burmecian knights. "Good evening, Freya, Fratley. What was all the big fuss about?"
"Good evening, Your Majesty. It's a quite a simple story, you see. But let's go inside to talk first," Fratley suggested.
"You're right."
Zidane and the others gathered inside in her room. She thought it wasn't a bad thing, for everyone were only her friends, so there was nothing to be ashamed of to invite them inside. Zidane started, "Ah, now don't mind to be in the Lady's room. Not like there will be any of Dagger's panties or br- Ouch!"
"Pervert…!!!" Garnet scolded after hitting Zidane on the head.
"Ok ok…Geez… sorry… Anyways, back to subject. So, what was the sneaking around for?"
Freya started off with a small laugh. "Well, we were following the young lovers that entered into your castle."
"What?! Y-you mean Vivi and Eiko?"
Fratley answered with a nod.
"Hehe… guess we're not the only spies on them." Freya and Fratley looked surprised. "Yes Dagger and I were to spying on them, but can you blame me? I love seeing out little buddy Vivi catching on someone he likes!"
"Believe it or not, Lady Freya and I started this date for them. We noticed Vivi's secret timid sadness, and we wanted to help him. To see whether they were going well or not, Freya decided on this ninja business." Fratley said.
"So that was why Vivi and Eiko were on a date…"
"Yes."
Suddenly, from the bottom floor, Eiko shouted, "ZIDANE!!! DAGGER!!! Vivi and I will be going outside the castle now! Oh yeah, please help us thank Quina for making such yummy cookies!" Zidane, Garnet, Freya, and Fratley got eye contacted with each other and knew what they would do next. The four of them quickly but quietly left the room to look.
Outside the castle, Vivi and Eiko sat at the stairs of the dock that was in front of the castle. Again, the silence won over them. Vivi was drawing swirls on the cement ground, while Eiko stared straight at the moving water. "You know Vivi, I want to say thank you for asking me out tonight." She turned toward Vivi with a small adorable smile. The Black Mage had small blushes on his shadowy face in return. "It-it was nothing really. I hope you had fun…"
Eiko replied, "Of course I had! Um, Vivi?"
"Yes?"
"How come you asked me out?" Vivi realized that Eiko started to turn red as well.
"B-because…" Eiko was waiting for an answer, "…I wanted to… of course, well, and some people encouraged me to ask you, because I was afraid if you would say yes or no… I really like you, Eiko."
As Vivi looked at Eiko, he saw Eiko rubbing her eyes. She was *happy*. Eiko found the courage to look back at the cute face of Vivi and hugged him tightly. "Thanks… Vivi. I really like you too. You're such a great friend!"
A distance away, there was a large green bush. Four heads popped out from there. Zidane uttered, "Yes… very romantic indeed. Everything's going steadily for them…"
"I know this is improper, but I too can't resist from being curious of those two," Garnet added.
"Hehe…my influence maybe."
"Maybe." Garnet chuckled.
After Eiko let Vivi go from her grasp, they stared at the moon together. They loved that moment because nothing was disturbing them from the quixotic instant. They listened to the ripples of the water and the cricks from the grass crickets. A small breeze blew. Vivi, staring at the pale moonlight deflecting in the white clouds, suddenly remembered a gift that's stuffed inside his pocket. "Um, Eiko…?"
"Yes, Vivi?" Eiko answered.
"H-here, this is for you." He handed her the white silk handkerchief. Eiko looked shocked at the moment. It was so beautiful. Vivi thanked Fratley in his mind for giving it to him, and Fratley, who were behind the bushes, seemed to receive the message. Even though the handkerchief wasn't exactly from Vivi's hands, it was from Vivi's heart.
"T-thanks…" Eiko blushed even more. "Oh Vivi! I love you!" Then she gave Vivi another embrace.
"How endearing…" Freya whispered from behind the bushes. "Let us not spy on them anymore. I think they should cherish this moment alone. We shouldn't budge in."
"You're right, Lady Freya." Fratley agreed. Then the four of the peekers left the young couple alone.
As they left them, Zidane accidentally stepped on a twig. "Aiya-" Zidane began, but Garnet quickly covered his mouth and stared at Vivi and Eiko to see if they heard. Vivi and Eiko turned towards them and saw Fratley's ears.
"WHY YOU PEEPERS!!!!" Eiko turned to a volcano and summoned Phoenix. Phoenix did its job good. All four of them were medium-rare.
"Honsetly! We'll never be alone!" Eiko put her hands to her hips.
"H-How about there?" Vivi points to a boat.
Eiko smiles. "Vivi, you do have taste in romance!"
Vivi and Eiko then rode on the boat together and treasured every minute. And again, they fell fast asleep on the boat, toppled over each other. It was a wondrous night, where the night wore the moon as its pendant.
