A/N: Hey guys! Another chapter for you. There's not much to be said about it, but thanks so much for the fav's, follows and reviews. Enjoy!

Having finished her rather one-sided conversation with her father, Lala exited the throne room and returned to the living quarters. Nana, noticing the clearly upset expression on Lala, knew something had probably gone wrong.

Even though it was still hard for her to tell since she didn't know what they had talked about in the first place.

Which aggravated her greatly.

Eager to find out, but also careful not to upset her sister even more, Nana began questioning Lala.

"Ane-ue? What happened?"

Lala, troubled by the conversation she just had, filled Nana in on what their father had told her.

"A way to make him… stronger?" Nana asked, perplexed.

"Yeah."

How are you going to do that?"

"I…" Lala found herself momentarily unable to collect her thoughts.

"I don't know." She admitted. "But I'll think of something."

"I'm sure you will, Ane-ue." Nana said encouragingly, trying to lift her sister's spirits."You're the smartest of all of us. I believe in you." She said. She was secretly worried what would happen with Rito if Lala couldn't find anything.

Not that she liked him or anything.

She did, however, also believe in her sister's brilliance. She would think of something.

After a very awkward and quiet dinner with the Royal Family, aside from the conversation Sephie was having with her daughters, the girls excused themselves to their rooms.

"Have you thought of anything yet Ane-ue? I know it's only been, like, a few hours but…"

"No, Nana." Lala was still slightly upset from the day.

"Okay. Just let me know if you need anything."

Seeing that it was getting late, they decided to head to bed.

Nana slept peacefully, but Lala, restless, was brainstorming ideas, currently coming up with nothing. All that could be heard in the quiet was the sound of Sephie reprimanding Gid for what he had done and more.

In the Yuuki household, everything was calm. Mikan had decided to stay home after the "incident" with Momo earlier that day, leading Momo to decide to confine herself upstairs. Mikan once again decided to follow Rito when he went to bathe. Half because she knew Momo could strike at anytime, and half because she enjoyed the time she spent with Rito. There was nothing wrong with that right? It was only because they were brother and sister of course. Bathing with him was her right and hers alone, though that didn't stop Momo.

"So what was that whole thing about earlier?" Mikan asked Rito while scrubbing his back.

Rito's nerves started running, not wanting to call back to earlier that day.

"What do you mean, Mikan?" He asked her, hoping she wasn't talking about what he thought she was.

"Whatever it was that you were doing with Momo."

Damn.

"I wasn't doing anything Mikan! I thought she was gone!" Rito hastily tried to explain himself.

Mikan only laughed. "I know it wasn't you, Rito. I was just testing is all. You don't have the guts to do anything like that of your own will."

She said that, yet she actually wondered how true that statement was. Rito wouldn't collapse to the temptation from Momo, right?

Rito, too, recalled how his mind went blank and his body moved on its own. He was barely aware of his own actions. It wasn't the normal lustful blanking out, he had actually lost control. The thought somewhat worried him.

"Either way, I'll make sure nothing happens, Rito." Mikan wasn't sure whether she was reassuring Rito or herself. Being honest, Momo's escapades were becoming quite repetitive. She went back to quietly scrubbing, not wanting to think of what Momo might try next.

Finishing up the shower, Mikan exited the bathroom slightly before Rito. On her way out however, she thought she caught a glimpse of a fairly familiar tail moving around the corner. This roused some suspicion in her mind, but she ultimately decided to let it go.

Now back upstairs after listening through the bathroom door, Momo was once again plotting her next move.

"Agh!" Momo was now starting to become slightly upset at Mikan's intervention.

"I won't be able to get anywhere with Ri- I mean the Harem Plan if Mikan keeps interrupting." Momo thought out loud, trying to pass off her near mistake in her own thoughts. "And now she'll probably be even more on guard. And I still have to add her to the harem." Momo recalled the incident with Celine's pollen affecting Mikan, who was barely able to salvage the situation when she momentarily lost control despite her valiant efforts not to.

Momo then realized something: Mikan didn't know about the Harem Plan.

"Ah. Mikan-san wouldn't go for it anyways. Unless…"

Momo barely got any sleep that night, thinking about her hypothesis and wondering how to carry it out.

Nana got up and performed her usual morning activities. But something felt off. It was… too quiet.

That was it! Lala hadn't come out yet!

"That's odd. Ane-ue is usually up at the same time as me, if not before me. I wonder what's going on." Nana went up to Lala's door and listened. She could hear sounds of construction and mechanical whirring on the other side.

"Ah, she's probably just working on another invention. I'll ask her about it later." Nana then dismissed any further thought and went to have breakfast.

-
On the other side of the door, Lala was indeed hard at work on another invention, albeit smaller than her other inventions. This one's function didn't need it to big like a some of her others. This may have even been her smallest invention yet.

As she was transferring the data she had been working on for nearly all night into the invention, she muttered quietly to herself.

"I won't let you down, Rito."
