Kyo continued to lean into Alice. At the last moment, Alice lifted her hands and pushed Kyo away.
"Kyo… I do love you, but, I…"
Kyo understood what she was about to say and wrapped his arms around her. "Its alright. I can wait until after we find Mayura." He whispered in her ear. "But after that, I can't promise anything."
Frey walked in their room chattering. "Are you guys coming? We were about to…" Frey saw them together and his hands instantly flew to his face.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Everyone came running up the stairs.
"What's the matter?" Mei Lin asked. Suddenly, she stepped on Frey's face. "Oh my gosh! I'm sorry Frey!"
"No, go ahead. Walk all over me. I can't feel any worse."
"Oh ho! So you guys went all the way huh?" Billy asked. Alice and Kyo blushed.
"No!" Alice protested lifting her hands.
"It's not what you think." Kyo added.
Frey thought about what Billy said and rolled over on his side. "Now I feel worse. How could you say that man? My Alice is leaving me!" Frey cried.
"Let me help." Chris kicked him in the head.
"Oh! Let me do that!" Mei Lin pleaded. Nyozeka and Chris jumped on Frey's stomach while Mei Lin beat him up as well.
Alice, Billy and Kyo just stared in amazement.
"Um, do you think he'll be alright?" Alice asked.
"He'll have a few bruises but he'll be fine."
"I'm not so sure. I would never wish a little kid and a rabbit jumping on you for anyone. Frey doesn't even deserve that. That's definitely saying a lot coming from me."
"So are we leaving or are we going to stay here and beat up Frey because either way I'm happy." Chris asked.
"Hey! Get off me you little…" Mei Lin grabbed Chris before Frey could tackle him to the ground. Frey landed on Nyozeka making a squish sound.
"I guess that answers your question." Mei Lin said walking out the room, Chris still in her hands.
"Yea. Well then lets go." Billy added walking out the door.
"Are you alright…" Alice ran over towards Frey.
"Alice, I…" Frey said lifting his arm in lovey dovey mode. "I didn't know you cared…" Alice lifted Frey up and instantly pulled Nyozeka up, dropping Frey back on the floor.
"…Nyozeka? Oh Poor Nyozeka." Frey's eyes grew wide and his mouth dropped. A slow slithering soul came crawling out of his mouth.
"What's with him?" Kyo asked.
"I don't know, I don't think he's even hurt. He was the one that was squishing poor Nyozeka." Alice hugged Nyozeka softly. "He's just trying to get attention." Alice turned on her heel and walked out of the room.
"I would leave ya behind man but this is Alice's room so I can't very well trust you in here." Kyo carried the soulless Frey out of the room, down the stairs (roughly I might add), and out the door.
"Okay! So who wants to sing next!" Frey asked automatically pointing to Alice.
"Why do you keep doing that? I'm not going to sing." Alice insisted.
"Aw, come on Alice." Frey said snuggling up to her.
"I'll do it if you stop touching me…" Frey thought about, kissed her and hurriedly backed away.
"Alright, it's a deal!" Alice whapped him over the head with the microphone stand.
"I don't want to go now, I was just kissed by a buffoon." She claimed.
"Fine, I'll go!" Mei Lin stood up and walked over to the microphone. "I want to sing 'Scarlet' Ayashi no Ceres. Got it?"
"Yeah, found it." Chris said. Suddenly music started playing, a sad sort of sound.
"Haruka na hoshizora ni yume wa mada miemasu ka? Osanai ano hi yori azayaka desu ka?"(A/N Translation: Can you still see your dreams in the distant, starry sky? Are they more vivid than they were when you were little?)
Kyo nudged Alice. "So what's the real reason, you won't go?" He asked.
Alice looked at him surprised and quickly replaced her surprise by sadness. "This was always something Mayura and I did together. I've never sang with anyone else…" She replied. "Plus, I am sure that my voice isn't that great, you know?" Kyo stared at her for a moment and turned his head. Mei Lin had finished her song and was bowing and enjoying their applause.
Kyo stood up. "You were really good Mei Lin." He congratulated even though he didn't hear most of it. Alice paid no attention; she only looked down at her lap, sad and cold. Music started up and a Sailormoon tune came over the speakers. Suddenly, Nyozeka popped over to Alice and lifted her head up to the microphone. Standing there pointing at Alice was Kyo.
"You say you're cool, and you're strong. You say you'll lead, and I should tag along." Alice felt the sudden urge to jump on the stage and show Kyo what he had coming. She smiled at how he was singing in Serena's voice. It was kind of funny. "But would you cry (huh?) you'd be a mess. If we showed up at the party in the same new dress." Kyo let go of the microphone picking up a jacket and creating a toga. Alice grabbed the microphone and let her voice rip.
"You say you're brave," She winked at Kyo causing him to blush. "Sailor scout. But it's too late to tell me that you won't ditz out. 'Cause spacey things, that you've said, prove that you got moon rocks rollin' in your head." Kyo and Alice moved at the same time pointing to each other.
"Who do you think you are? (Who do you think you are?) Who do you think you are? (Who do you think you are?) Ya say you're the best by far… Who do you think you are?" The song continued and everyone laughed when Kyo was forced to paint his fingernails and cheered at the end of their performance.
"Wow, I didn't know you could sing that well Alice. Sing another for us!" Mei Lin pleaded. Alice blushed.
"I really wasn't that good." A scary Frey appeared behind her.
"You're right, you weren't good at all." Frey said. Alice turned around, daggers shooting from her eyes. "AHH! You didn't let me finish! I think you were spectacular!" He immediately said.
"Suck up." Chris muttered under his breath.
"Hey Chris, have we heard you sing tonight?" Billy edged on.
Everyone's head turned toward him.
"I will not do it! I won't, you can't make me!" He declared.
After much fighting and wrestling, Chris was forced up onto the stage. He chose a song from the anime Gravitation.
"Blind Game again kanari kireteru Doll itsuma demo kawaranai yoru o buchikowase." He sang the song and everyone applauded him. Suddenly, Alice stood up and walked out the door, apologizing saying she had to use the bathroom. Alice glanced around making sure no one was following her then went straight by the bathroom and ran outside. She searched the night air for some sign of danger. Once she turned around to go back in, it appeared.
"What took you so long dear sister?" A malicious smile spread over Mayura's face.
