            Miki was getting excited. She had given all the invitations to a travelling demi-human on his way to Guldove, who had agreed to deliver them to the various guests. Bouncing all over the deck, she could barely contain her excitement.

            "Calm down, the concert isn't until the end of the week," Yu laughed,

            "But we get to see everyone again! How can you not be excited? Oh, check out this dance move,"

            Miki demonstrated her new move, a twirl on one leg coming down to the splits. Yu applauded and shook her head, smiling,

            "Great Miki,"

            "Miiiikiiiii!"

            Miki and Yu looked up to the wail coming from their dressing room. Mi ran out, nearly in tears and stopped in front of them,

            "I l-lost the invitation for N-Norris. I slept in and when I woke up it was gone!" she cried,

            "Mi, calm down," Miki looked, "I sent all the invitations, including the one for Norris,"

            "Are you sure? It was pink and had silver glitter and I drew 46 little hearts—"

            "—In your favourite lipstick, yeah, I know," Miki put up her hands, "Don't worry, Norris will come,"

            "He better…" Mi said darkly, making both Miki and Yu look at her in surprise, "Well, I've been waiting for him to come back for ages!"

            Miki was about to reply when the bard of her dreams came in, looking almost shy. A slow smile crept on Miki's face; she knew the cause of the embarrassment on his face. That last whisper he had said last night was still on both their minds. Miki admitted that she was confused, why would he lose her? Happiness had never struck her so hard, Nikki had clued into the fact that she liked him, and now all the dreams of being held in his toned arms were coming true. She vividly remembered the trip to the Ancient Dragon Fort, and a blush spread across her cheeks.

            "Did someone say something? Why are you two blushing?" Mi asked, looking confused,

            "Er…" Miki's eyes widened, "I...um…"

            "It's hot," Nikki breathed,

            Miki swallowed hard as her eyes focused on his. Yes, it was hot. It was getting hotter, "Yeah," she managed to agree.

            "Really? Go out on the deck, you'll get the nice breeze," Yu suggested as she turned back to the mirror,

            Miki and Nikki looked at each other and made a mad dash for his balcony upstairs.

            Miki pressed her mouth against Nikki's and kissed him passionately as she felt his strong hands move up her body,

            "Good time…to…get to room…" She breathed,

            "Yeah," He murmured in a husky voice.

            They escaped to Nikki's room, further bewildering Yu who came out with drinks and couldn't find them, where Miki wound her arms around his neck and kissed him softly,

            "Nikki, why…why didn't you ever tell me that…" Miki trailed off, unsure of how to pursue her question,

            "That I adore you?" He asked with a seductive smile, "I was never sure you felt the same way,"

            "I wasn't obvious enough for you?" She asked in shock, "Nikki, are you daft?"

            Nikki laughed, a strong laugh and then hugged her tightly, enjoying the feel of her bare skin against his and her soft arms around him.  He wanted her so badly, but he still didn't know if she was going to leave him. Almost frantically he carried her to his bed and laid her down, staring at her lithe form as she smiled back up at him.

            "I want you forever," He whispered, amethyst eyes shimmering,

            "Nikki? Is, something wrong?" Miki paused in her caresses and frowned,

            "Just be with me tonight," He said with a soft smile, "That's all I need,"

            "All right."

            Miki gently lowered him on top of her and captured him in another kiss. The bard's body was chiselled to perfection, and she could feel each muscle glide over her body. She managed to take off her sleeves without pausing her kisses, but as the articles of clothing fell away both her and Nikki realized the downside of wearing elaborate costumes…

            ~*~

            "So, what are your plans for Norris?" Yu asked,

            "I don't know, bedazzle him I guess. Where's Miki? I was going to ask her if his favourite colour was yellow," Mi pouted,

            "Both her and Nikki disappeared again," Yu said with a shrug, "Yellow? Is that why you made your new costume yellow?"

            "Yeah! And I'm going to put bells on the ends of the shoes and skirt," Mi grinned excitedly,

            "I think I'll wear green," Yu mused,

            "Again?"

            "Sure why not?"

            "All right," Mi laughed, "You can help me stand out so I can catch his eye,"

            "Of course I will, oh! Let me try a new hairstyle on you, together we can make you look ravishing!" Yu grinned with excitement, grabbing combs and hair elastics.

            "So, what do you think of Miki and Nikki disappearing all the time," Mi asked after a moment,

            "Miki's always liked Nikki, and Nikki's always liked Miki. Didn't you think it would happen sometime?" Yu replied,

            "I guess so, but, why the sudden affection?" Mi frowned, "It's not like Miki, she's timid around Nikki, now she's all fired up,"

            "She just knows it's okay to love him now," Yu said swiftly, combing out her twin's hair,

            "Love him!? Ow!" Mi sat up suddenly, causing Yu to pull her hair, "You really think she loves him?"

            "Don't move! Yeah, I think so," Yu looked dreamily in the mirror, "It's so romantic…"

            "Just do my hair."
