"This is going to be a long night," Kari sighed, looking at the outfits Boris had left for them. They were revealing as usual, leaving their midriffs for show to whoever looked their way. The outfits consisted of long-sleeved, boat-neck, form-fitting tops that cut off neatly at the upper abdomen, each in an assorted color. Different shades of the color of the shirt had been tossed in at the hems of the neck, sleeves, and bottom of the top, giving it an organized look. The skirts cut off at the knee, the back a stylish lace-up. The skirts were also matching in color to the tops, the same color of hem used at the bottom of the skirt. The shoes were sandals, two straps going over the foot for keeping the sandal on. The sandals were all black, giving all three girls a unified look.
"...Boris knows which colors are our favorites," Ayumi chortled quietly, shaking her head with a slight tinge of amusement thrown in. True, Boris had actually bothered to learn their favorite colors to please them, hoping for a bit of respect and maybe even love in return. Although he'd gotten the colors perfect, right down to the specified shade, the girls still held only disdain and hatred toward their cruel owner.
"True. Baby Blue is my favorite color," Orion laughed in agreement, looking skeptically at her outfit hanging in the one closet all three girls shared. Kari deeply admired the shade of purple Boris had her outfit made out of, but... it's not like it made her think any higher of him in any way, shape, or form. When the three girls had first laid eyes on their outfits, Ayumi had nearly dropped dead at the site of her own. Hers was green, but not just any green- her FAVORITE shade of green. With a small sigh, all three girls dragged themselves into their outfits, looking forward to the end of the night.
"Let's just get this over with!" Orion said cheerfully. Seemingly enough, that was the pick-me-up that all three of them needed as they headed into the kitchens to prepare the food for serving. After several hours of setting up and other assorted things, the courtyard was ready for the Christmas festival. Large pine trees had been set up around the perimeter, all of them decorated in festive Christmas décor.
"Girls, we've done good!" Ayumi said, wearing her 'foxy grin', as everyone so affectionately dubbed it. At that moment, Davis came stumbling into the courtyard, breathing heavily. All three girls raised an eyebrow, staring at Davis rather skeptically. Davis smiled briefly before going into 'Talk-without-punctuation' mode.
"Girls!! The entertainment's gotten sick, so we need someone to sing! Can one of you do it?" he explained quickly, ending with the same amount of vigor as when he had started. Orion and Kari exchanged glances, then Ayumi and Orion, before all glances turned to Davis, who just smiled and chuckled weakly. Both Kari and Orion spoke up.
"Ayumi will be happy to do it!" Ayumi looked up, blinking, giving the two girls a 'WHAT THE HELL?' look. Both Orion and Kari smiled, a glint of evil appearing in their eyes. Ayumi rolled her eyes, looking rather annoyed with this development. "...Fine. I'll sing," she snapped, folding her arms stubbornly. Davis smirked, standing up and running to the door. But, before he stepped inside, he turned to the girls once again, staring particularly at Ayumi.
"I'm sure Koji'll be happy to hear this development." And with that, he left, heading off to break the news to everyone. Ayumi's eyes widened, a blush deeper than the most scarlet ruby crawling onto her cheeks. Kari and Orion smirked, looking to Ayumi with a mischievous glint in their eyes.
"Ayumi, is there something you neglected to tell us about you and Koji?" Orion asked evilly, spinning Ayumi around to face them. Ayumi blinked, shaking her head vigorously. Kari and Orion raised an eyebrow, waiting for her to explain.
"O-of course not!" she replied, chuckling weakly. Orion laughed a bit, but then stopped, leaning forward so she was in Ayumi's face. Ayumi backed up a bit, blinking.
"We all know you like Koji! Well... except for Koji, that is. He's completely oblivious," she stated, rolling her eyes. Ayumi blinked, walking towards the door Davis just walked into a few moments earlier. She turned to face Orion and Kari once more.
"I'm going to go prepare a song, thank you very much," she snorted, slamming the door behind her. At that moment, Kari and Orion broke into a fit of laughter, doubling over from the immense pressure of their fit. Orion wiped a lone tear from her eye, finally able to stand up.
"Oh... Man... Ayumi's so much fun to tease!" Orion giggled, breaking down into an uproar of laughter once more. Kari nodded in agreement, attempting to even her breathing out.
"Yes, she is!" she agreed, sitting down on one of the stone benches to recollect herself.

Later that night, when the festival had started, people of importance had crowded into the courtyard, taking part in dancing, eating, and other activities related thereafter. Ayumi was unbelievably nervous about her singing debut, which was less than half-an-hour away. So far, due to her immense stage fright, she'd dropped a slice of cake, spilled some of the punch all over a nobleman, and tripped over herself more than once. But, she wasn't as near as bad as Orion. Orion had knocked over the punch bowl, spilled pie all over a nobleman, managed to get herself pelted with a slice of cake, and nearly spilled punch all over Boris himself. Kari, on the other hand, hadn't managed to get herself in any trouble, gracefully getting food from place to place.
"You guys have to be the biggest klutzes I've ever known," Kari laughed as the three of them walked together for more food. Orion chuckled sarcastically, pretending it was funny. Ayumi just remained quiet.
"WOW! It's amazing! Ayumi's ACTUALLY keeping her mouth shut!" Orion gasped in fake surprise. Ayumi glared at her, looking rather peeved at the moment. Orion sighed, knowing that Ayumi was really nervous about her singing tonight.
"Don't sweat it!" Kari said cheerfully, realizing that Ayumi was singing in less than a minute. Ayumi made her way towards the stage, gulping. She walked up the stairs, standing at the front center of the stage, gulping. All the people turned to look at her, thousands of eyes staring her down.
"U-Um... This song is called 'Every Heart' and... that's what I'll be singing," she stated nervously, taking a deep breath.
Tell me babe, how many do I shed my tears?
Every Heart Every Heart is not a gentle yet
Shall I do? I can never say my loneliness
Every Heart doesn't know so what to say oh what to do
(I) was afraid of darkness 'cause I felt that I was left alone
So I prayed for help to (the) distant million stars
Round & Round the planets revolve round the sun
And we always seek after love and peace forever more
Growing, growing woe baby we can work it out Look up at the sky, every Heart is shining all today
Show me now; what kind of smile do I come across?
Every Heart, Every Heart can take a step towards the dreams
All of us what to take a lasting happiness
Whenever you feel sad, I wanna hold you & give you a sound sleep
Someday Every Hearts gonna' free and easy
We have peace of mind
Someday all the people find the way to love
Goes & Goes the time goes on we are not alone
We live on together and we will find some precious things
Sometime we will smile sometime we will cry somehow
Don't forget believing yourself - Tomorrow's never die
There is the warm heart places on my mind
In my earliest day's there and it's so sweet
There are many stars they have talk with me so kind
They say yes always time's a friend of mine so shine
Round & Round the planets revolve round the sun
And we always seek after love and peace, forever more
Growing, growing woe baby we can work it out
Look up at the sky, every heart is shining all today
Goes & Goes the time goes on we are not alone
We live on together and we will find some precious things
Sometime we will smile sometime we will cry somehow
Don't forget believing yourself - Tomorrow's never die
And with that, Ayumi left the stage, an uproarious applause echoing throughout the courtyard walls. She ran over to Orion and Kari, sighing and laughing a bit. Orion and Kari pat her on the back, amazed for some reason...
"That was... AMAZING! Well, to say the least, anyway," Kari gasped, drawing Ayumi into a tight hug. Ayumi smiled.
"That... Wasn't so bad!" she said, smiling. And then... it went bad. Boris just happened to walk by to congratulate Ayumi, when Orion dropped the pie she was holding. It flew a few feet before landing... directly on Boris's front. Orion, Kari, and Ayumi gasped, wincing a bit afterward.
"...Ladies... all three of you shall receive punishment tomorrow," Boris barked, storming off to clean himself.
