Bue and D both woke up at the same time. She turned to see a smirking D across the room. "So, the other bue told me that you DO have feelings for me, isn't that right?" Bue looked shocked then pouted and looked away. "I can see you blushing!" "I am not blushing!" "What specifically do 'ya like about me?" "I don't!" She crossed her arms, her pride was not about to admit defeat while it's being struck. D got off the bed, bue smirked at this, imagined a pistol and started shooting at his feet. When she ran out of ammo mal woke up, being a heavy sleeper and all. "What're the lovebirds arguing about now?" He asked groggily, bue got up and with her new steel-toed boots, kicked his stomach, same with D. They crashed to the ground, "the only feelin's I have for D are disgust an' annoyance!" "How about a bet?" D told her, bue raised an eyebrow in interest. "What kinda bet?" "If I can make you blush, even once today, you have to admit it!" She smirked with cockiness, mal chuckled. "I'll be the judge! D, summon a mirror!" D put on a smug face and did so. "Whaddaya say, princess buena?" She rolled her eyes. "I'll take you up on that bet!" He took her hand, "so, a full day of romance it is!" "Or it could be confused with two hours due to the lack of clocks and the capability of telling time...that is." With that they walked out the door, bue groaned. "Oy it's gonna be a lon' 23...25? Hours?" "I believe it's...hmmm..26!" D purposely miscalculated, bue just shrugged and the door slammed behind them.
Mal had a bit of a feeling that a full moon would be first, D snapped his fingers and mal's regular gut-feeling was correct, he's so predictable! Only this time, he also imagined a lake and a gondola with the fire-lit lamp at the head. Bue was silent while in the boat same as D, though she repeatedly checked over to her right to see her face in the water and make sure no hint of rosy cheeks could occur. D knew there needed to be a bit more to the scene and so, he snapped his fingers again and they were dimly illuminated by multicolored lanterns on their right and left, forming a straight hall. This time bue started to smile then put her hand to the water, her fingers making rows of uneven separate currents, slurring her reflection. With the smile bue had on her face she knew it'd be impossible to face D so keeping her hand in the cold water seemed best. When it started getting red, bue reluctantly pulled her hand out and just onto her lap to dry as she just rubbed it hoping the friction alone could heat it up despite the fact that the hand was still wet. D noticed bue's hand in the water, seeing her rubbing it let him know that it must've in there too long. He took her hand and held it between both of his. Bue started gnawing on her lip and her eyes turned back to water, D sneered. When her hand felt warm again she quickly snatched it back and gazed at her reflection in the water once more but this time it was different... She saw another girl standing behind her which was confusing enough seeing as standing on a boat would make it tip, but she was almost identical to bue only most of her hair came over her face.
She's my anger alright and as hard to control as my punch reflex...maybe this day'll be easier if I wasn't in it...
With a cocky grin on her face, though concealed by her hair flap. "I think I see something in the water..." She had imagined a lily pad and thus, started reaching for it and purposely tipped the boat. It was when they fell in the water that bue triggered her change by remembering all the times D had embarrassed her…. She shot up from the water with a gasp which was quickly replaced by a sneer. D shot up second and 'bue' turned away then parted her hair to the left like it always is, I guess I'm needed at the moment. Sure, I'll take them up on that bet. Though the real question is...what do I get out of it?!...and..how the hell do you mimic that accent?! I can try but I don't feel like looking like some retard imitating a brooklyn accent mixed with southern bell. (For the first time in the Prisoner saga...I have bestowed upon you the answer as to what bue's accent ACTUALLY IS!...The author didn't even know herself what the accent was exactly until it popped up like a lightbulb.) Just talk as little as possible, yeah!
Mal, meanwhile was sitting on one of the beanbags eating more chips and still paying close attention through the mirror that D had summoned for him since he's the judge. When they went under, the mirror followed of course. But when they came up, bue looked different and had a familiar devilish looking grin on her face with most of her hair covering the part that the mirror was facing, her sharp teeth showed. They had the very dull brightness on her face revealing a few more unseeable details than in the mirror room. Her teeth were as sharp as D's, her eyes, jet black and bottomless, it seemed her hair would go totally flat as opposed to it's usual bouncy like spikes that'd flow down. If her eyes were crimson she'd be D twin instead of mal's, D and mal both have the same hair and look almost exactly alike but there are still regular features that the two don't share, making them complete opposites. D looked much more sinister with his glowing red eyes, the thing with his hair is that the hair flap in which all of them share, his is a little bit closer to his ear causing both eyes to always be visible. His teeth were sharper and similar to that of a wild animal, instead of mere dark brown under-eye-circles, his were all black. Mal had the more childlike features, when they were all younger and while on mike's side before D had closed the portal, he had no under-eye-circles, no sharp teeth, he used to smile happily whenever the three of them played together and had kept his joyous light brown eyes. With these differences, from a distance or even if you blurred your sight, you could still easily set them apart, now all you can look at is their eye color. Bue was often known for being the weakest in mind but even to the others in strength, because of this she was the easiest to manipulate with both illusions and hypnosis. Her "trait" might as well be given the title of "personality", she has her own facial features as well as a completely different outlook, if not for the flat hair she'd be D's identical twin. When mal and bue first met, they both had the exact same light brown eyes, neither had dark circles, neither had sharp teeth, and they both looked exactly the same but right now, D's features are showing in bue. "D! That's not bu-". Before mal could finish his sentence, D already had 'bue's' wrist in a tight grip and was bending it back painfully as the she bit her lip. "If you'd think I'd fall for some dumb trick like that then you're sorely mistaken, bring...her...back!" She snatched back her hand and plunged him under the water for 5 seconds then he shot back up with glowing crimson eyes. "Bue, bue! Get back here, we're not finished with this!" He put his hand on her head then pushed her back into the water. She took his arm and pulled it off her scalp then flew up gasping, "'YA JERKIN' LIL'…. Worth a shot?" Even still being in the cold water D crossed his arms and bue mimicked his movements to mess with him, he started to smile then hugged her. She was shocked then felt her face get warm and feared the worst, I betta' not be blushin' or…...GYAAH! DO NOT BLUSH! Bue thought nervously when in truth, D was the one turning red. It was a bit of a long scene until bue broke the silence, "say...how deep is this lake?" D let go of bue to answer her question, also to check wether she was as red as him. "Iono, maybe 15...20 feet, why?" "How about a race to the bottom?" She had a competitive fire in her eyes with a smile, D couldn't help but agree. Mal just stuffed his face with more chips as he changed position to upside down and angled the mirror so it faced him correctly.
"1, 2, 3,...GO!"
They both yelled then dove under the water and swam down as fast as they could. It was merely 7 seconds before one of them touched the ground, whilst the other followed with only a millisecond difference, this was bue and D just gave her a raspberry. She glared, as fast as the water would let her, she pinched D's already red-ish nose and used it to throw him about 5 feet away. Bue then looked up in awe, her mouth opened in astonishment as tons of tiny air bubbles escaped her lips, D looked up not long after and did the same. They were staring at how pretty the moon looked in the wavy water but then, the two of them started turning red, knowing their lungs were practically about to burst, they rushed up to the top. D and bue launched from the ground and shot through the water like torpedo's while they gasped and coughed. "Tha'...was…*cough*...fun…. Hey, your nose is all red." "Probably 'cause you pinched *cough* it! And...so is yours *cough*." Bue felt her nose then sneezed causing a big ripple in the lake, D felt her forehead and compared it to his. "Fever, both of us." "Aaaawww, but I don' wanna go ba' to the room, hmph!" "I think you forgot something-..." "-wha-". "You...lost-" "-what're 'ya talkin' 'bou-". He pulled her in close to him and gave her a kiss and this time...she blushed heavily, D noticed but didn't say anything. Mal just watched their moonlight silhouette 'making lip contact'...he just looked away and ate more chips.
