Author's Notes: I don't own Fuhsigi Yuugi. And some characters are not part of Fushigi Yuugi.

"That was my guess", said Suboshi.

"Boy is she lucky!" Nuriko added.

"Don't worry Padmae we won't tell Amiboshi", Tasuki said, still laughing.

"T-Thanks", she replied. 'I hate it when people tease me to other people. That is why it is easy for me to fall in love'.

"In the name of god Suboshi you've been whistling for five minutes. And I can feel an evil smile from your lips. The heck is wrong with you?!" Amiboshi exclaimed as the two watched television. Suboshi turned to his brother and grinned.

"Nothing. By the way who will give your gift to in our Christmas party?" Amiboshi looked away blushingly.

"T-To Padmae". Suboshi laughed hard as Amiboshi looked at his brother again. "What's wrong?"

"O-Oh nothing. You're lucky!" was all his brother could say as he tries to stop laughing. 'I never knew this two we're destined'.

For three days they studied for their test. It was those days that they'll set their other thoughts aside and concentrate on their lessons. It is like they couldn't breathe for three days. And after the test Christmas party came. "At last! Test is finish! Yey!" Tasuki cheered.

"I have to buy a gift for Amiboshi. I have to pass this way now". Padmae began.

"Okay Padmae", Nuriko said. Padmae immediately left. And as the three went to the other way an idea popped up in Nuriko's mind. "Hey guys how about we match Padmae and Amiboshi! What do you think?"

"That's a good idea!" the both replied.

"And Suboshi will be a...a..."Tasuki began, forgot the words he will say.

"Ah I know! We'll match the two and let's pretend you Suboshi will have a crush on Padmae!" Nuriko finished Tasuki's sentence.

"WHAT?!" Suboshi yelled.

"Good idea Nuriko. In short this will be a love triangle!" Tasuki exclaimed he put his hands on top of Suboshi's shoulder.

"But I don't have a crush on Padmae. I have a crush on Yui!" Suboshi said.

"Don't worry. All you had to do is like making Amiboshi jealous. And let's see if he'll learn to love again", Nuriko said.

"But will he ever have feelings for her?" Tasuki asked.

"He will have feelings for her, Tasuki. They always blushed when we teased them", Nuriko replied.

"Okay I'll accept it", Suboshi replied.

"Yes!" the two said happily as they went to buys some gifts.

AS the people arrived in their classroom the classroom was arranged in the shape of a circle and the tables were at the center. Padmae arrived and as she has seen the chairs in a circle she doesn't know where to sit. "Padmae!" someone called. She looked to see Suboshi. "Over here!" Amiboshi frowned. He was about to call her but his brother was the first one to do so. But he then realized why he feels this way.

"At least I found you guys. When I first went in the classroom I don't know where to sit", Padmae said as she sat beside Amiboshi. "Thanks anyway Suboshi".

"No problem my princess", Suboshi said as he bowed. Amiboshi and Padmae looked at him confusingly while Nuriko and Tasuki we're not really shocked. It's their plan anyway and they just stayed calm. But they have to pretend their shock.

"Princess?!" the two said shocked.

"It's not bad if I call her princess right?" said Suboshi. Padmae began to blush.

"N-No but I think you have to call me by my name", Padmae complements.

"Or Mae", Amiboshi added. Padmae turned to Amiboshi and gave a wry smile.

"Padmae will be fine. You know I remember my past if somebody will call me Mae".

"Then I'll call you Princess Mae", Suboshi again said. Padmae just gave a nervous laugh. Then their teacher signaled his students they will start.

They have their opening prayer. Then after that they have played games. Although Amiboshi and Padmae didn't join. Tired was their excuse. Then at long last Padmae will finally know who plays the lovely song whenever she heard it every dismissal. "And now let's hear my brother Amiboshi perform who is practicing for weeks to present in our Christmas party", Suboshi announced. Their classmates began to clap their hands as Amiboshi went to the platform with his flute. As the clapping subsided he began to play his flute. Padmae listened carefully and the song is the exact song she hears every dismissal. It was soothing and sweet as she describes. It was sad too. She was drowning in the music of Amiboshi starring at him. As he stooped he looked at her and smiled. She smiled but not without a blush. Another round of applause.

"Thank you everybody. I hope you like the song. Anyway before we have our exchanging of gifts let's eat minna-san! I know everybody is hungry! So enjoy!" Amiboshi said. His classmates cheered as they went to get some food. His friends went to him.

"Bro.that was nice!" Suboshi exclaimed.

"Thanks".

"Amiboshi", he turned to look at the source of voice and found out it was Padmae. "Your song was really nice. So after all it was you who always play the flute every dismissal time".

"Hai. Arigatou gozaimasu Mae for you like the song", Amiboshi said. Padmae nods her head.

"Come on guys let's eat! I'm really hungry!" Tasuki interrupted.

"Sure", was their reply.

"Padmae over here", Suboshi called. Padmae looked at Amiboshi and he was looking at her. She looked away blushingly. Was it ever hurt in his eyes? And to Amiboshi he felt weird. Jealous? No, he doesn't think so.

After the delicious food they have eaten it's time to exchange gifts. As Padmae and Amiboshi exchanged gifts they we're shock that Amiboshi got Padmae's gift, so did Padmae. As they said their thanks they opened the gift. Amiboshi smiled as he received a red t-shirt and the name Amiboshi was embroidered at the back. And Padmae received a cute necklace which is silver and had a pendant which is a heart. "Let me do that for you", Amiboshi said as he put the necklace around her neck.

"T-Thanks", Padmae said. "It's beautiful".

"Thanks and thank you for the gift. It was cute", he also said.

"It's nothing". As the three saw this an evil smirked was playing on their lips.

"They're so cute!" Nuriko said.

"Yup! Told you it was a bad idea to pretend I have a crush on her", Suboshi began.

"Don't worry Suboshi they'll know sooner or later", Tasuki said. "Time for the other plan guys!"

"Oh yeah I almost forgot!" Nuriko said as he went to the two. "Guys if it's alright can we have a sleep over?"

"I don't know. I have to ask my mom", Padmae replied.

"Me too", Amiboshi agreed.

"You don't have to ' they'll be sleeping in our house", Suboshi said.

"WHAT?!" his brother nodded.

"I've asked Mom about it and she agreed!"

"And I and Nuriko have asked our parents too. Padmae you just have to ask your parents", said Tasuki.

"Okay then. When will it be? How many days?"

"Just one night. It will be on December 31 that we'll sleep in Amiboshi's house. Then we can go the next day", Nuriko replied.

"I think my parents will allow me. It's just one night", said Padmae.

"Okay then see you in December 31", he said with a wink.

It was getting cold in December. Christmas was really nice. People exchanging gifts and there. But what Padmae really couldn't wait is the sleepover. But after seven days of waiting her prayers have been answered. December 31 had come at last! As Padmae went to the house of Amiboshi she was amazed their house was beautiful. "It's...nice", she said.

"Well they do have a big house", Nuriko said as he went in.

"Plus you can sit on the rooftop!" Tasuki exclaimed.

"Really?! Can't wait to go there! Are we going to go there tonight?"

"Sure Mae. Fireworks will be shown tonight", Amiboshi replied. "Here I'll take that", he added as he carried her bag.

"No I can handle it", she refused as she holds the handle of her bag. She didn't even notice her hand was on top of Amiboshi's. They looked up as they met their gaze. They blushed and looked other way. "S-Sorry".

"I-It's nothing. I'll take it to your room".

"You mean the guess room", Suboshi said with a smirk.

"Yeah, yeah whatever!"

"S-So where will Nuriko and Tasuki sleep?" she asked, trying to forget what happened a while ago.

"In the other two guess rooms", Suboshi replied.

"Why you want to sleep inside Amiboshi's room?" Nuriko teased with a grin. She blushed again.

"Nuriko! No! Don't think like that!" the three laughed. It's really fun teasing the two. Then Amiboshi went down.

"Hey guys! Wanna play basketball before we eat dinner?"

"Sure!" they all replied.

"I didn't bring an extra shirt", Padmae began.

"How many shirts did you bring?" he asked.

"Let's see...one for tonight and another for tomorrow". They all sweat dropped. "Nanda? You just said one night".

"Never mind. Minna-san wait for me in the outside", Amiboshi said as he ran upstairs.

They played basketball that afternoon as Amiboshi arrived. With Padmae also playing. She was also sweating. "Hey can I join you?" Amiboshi said as he went to them.

"Like duh yes bro.", Suboshi replied as he shoots the ball in the ring. Then Amiboshi steal it.

"My turn".

"I'm going to steal it from you Amiboshi!" Padmae said.

"Try if you can", he said with an evil smile. He passed by her and was about to shoot the ball but she managed to steal it. "H-Hey!"

"Catch it if you can!" she said with a wink. The other three sat down on the bench looking at the two playing one on one.

"I am not really shock if the two are destined to be together", Nuriko began, wiping his sweat.

"How would you know?" Suboshi asked.

"Just look at your brother. He likes playing one on one with her".

"And Padmae too", Tasuki replied.

"Sou desu ka", Suboshi said looking at the two. "Hey wait for a moment!" the two looked at him confusingly. "Padme met her love one as she was also playing basketball that time right?" the two we're also alarmed.

"Oh yeah! Your right Suboshi! Could it be-"

"That this time she'll fall for Amiboshi too?" Tasuki finished Nuriko's sentence. The three looked at each other then shrugged.

"I give up Amiboshi I'm tired!" Padmae said as she tries to catch her breath. Amiboshi was still dribbling the ball.

"Tired?" she nods. "How abut you go and take a hot bath. Dinner will be ready soon".

"Will you help me stand up?" she favored coz' she was sitting at the ground. "My legs are tired". So he did help her as he extends his hand. She took it gratefully but as she stands up they realized they we're just close. "cough I think I should better g-go".

"I-I think you should", Amiboshi also said. She gave a wry smile then left. Amiboshi went to his friends.

"I just can smell and maybe see LOVE in the air!" Tasuki began to tease. Amiboshi just rolled his eyes.

"Please can you guys stop teasing me?"

"No because we can see it clearly", Nuriko began.

"Nani?"

"You're in LOVE!" Amiboshi blinked his eyes, blushed, then exclaimed.

"NO I'M NOT!"

"If you're not bro.then why are you blushing?" Suboshi asked. And all was his brother's reply was a faint blush. "See". Then Padmae had finished taking a hot bath after a few minutes as she went to her friends.

"Hey minna-san! Auntie said its dinner time!"
