Bright's POV

"So can you explain to me again why we're having tea in different rooms," I asked Moon carefully as I looked around in the room that she forced Rein and I into. It's best if I don't get her mad or something will happen to me.I don't really mind this room is nice, but still... The room had large windows like the room but this time the windows were stained glass in the form of blue roses. No light was shining through but you could see the roses perfectly.

"There wasn't enough space for all the food on one table and I thought that this room would be best for you two. Is there a problem with that?"

"N-not at all!"

"Then I need to go clean up in the kitchen, or Camelot will yell at me. Enjoy the tea." She then left the room. She scares me.

"Well then, why don't we sit down," Rein asked as she pulled out one of the chairs and sat down. "These look really good and really cute."

I sat down as I look at the food on the table. I'm amazed, did Moon actually make all of this? "You're right, so are you going to eat your favorite honey waffles?"

"That's Rein's favorite, I like strawberry cakes the best." Oh right, she's not Rein but Fine right now. "But I do like them a little too. I'll eat any type of sweet. It's a lot better than blood." Then she started eating a whole cake.

"I've been meaning to ask you this for a while, but there wasn't really a good time for it. Why is it that you dislike blood so much?"

She put her fork down for a second and looked at me. "Because I don't like taking blood that someone else could've needed. Someone could've died without that necessary blood. I, who just need it as nourishment, wouldn't it be cruel that someone died because I needed food?"

"I guess so, but wouldn't you need it to live too," I asked as I picked up my tea cup. This is as good as the tea that Altezza prepares. Jasmine, the aroma is wonderful.

"I think Rein told you this before, but I'll say it again. We only need blood to be energetic. We can probably get the nutrients that we need from somewhere else," Rein explained. "So without blood we'd probably be fine. The only problem is our instincts and taste buds. Our minds might not want blood but I guess that no matter what we do, our bodies strive for it and it's the most delicious."

"That's really interesting, I never knew that some people suffer like that. It must be hard." I really don't know what I'm suppose to say in this situation. Now that I think about it, when we first did a dance lesson, Rein looked more exhausted than normal. I guess that explains it.

"Can I ask you a question now?"

"Sure what is it?" This cake is good too. I didn't try anything the first time because I thought that Moon poisoned it. She was really mad at Shade and I that day.

"Why don't you hate vampires? Surely you've heard the stories of vampire attacking innocent people."

"I've heard the stories of hunters and vampires, but I couldn't help but feel sorry for the hunted vampires. Don't they have people that would be sad that they're gone? Wouldn't it hurt to be treated differently because of what you are? Vampires are people too and people should be judged as a person and nothing less. At least that's what I think."

She smiled. "If more people would think like you, everyone would get along better. It's really nice that you think about vampires that way."

Rein has such a nice smile. It's even prettier than Fine's. Then I just realized what I was doing. Why am I thinking this? It's not like I like Rein. I like Fine... don't I? "Bright? What's wrong? You suddenly stopped talking."

Then I asked her the question that I've wanted to ask this entire time. "Why are you acting like Fine, Rein?"

She looked shocked and didn't talk for a minute. "You found out? How's you know?"

"One of your fingers on your right hand has a small callus that I've noticed every time we dance and you wear earrings while Fine doesn't. From the beginning, I just kinda knew that you weren't Fine, but Rein."

"I'm really glad that you found the difference. Moon wanted to figure something out and revenge on you two for some bizarre reason. Did you and Shade do something to upset her?"

"Um..." It's probably the time when we first met, but I can't tell her that! Or Moon just might kill me! "I'm not sure, did I do anything wrong?"

"Yes." Rein and I turned to see Moon. She held out a bowl of rice with red beans. "This is a celebration, so eat it Bright."

"Moon, what are you talking about?"

"Oh Rein, Shade found out too. Go switch clothes with Fine. Red looks nice on you, but blue's better."

"Okay, then I'll be right back, Bright-sama." Then she quickly exited the room to go change.

"Yes, the blue dress will look very cute on her," she said as she ate the rice.

Then I asked," Is there a reason why you're here? Moreover, what's up with the revenge?" Why is she the one eating the rice?

"Revenge, I really don't need to explain that. Second, you pass. Good job." She's congratulating me but in a monotone voice, I can't tell if she actually means it or not.

"What exactly did I pass?" Should this be a good thing or a bad thing?

"If you couldn't figure out the difference between Fine and Rein if they were to have the same appearance, then you wouldn't have the right to like Fine or Rein, whichever one that you choose in the end. It's kinda like a warning. If you break Rein's heart, I won't go easy on you. At least that's something similar to what I said to Shade."

"You really do care for Fine and Rein a lot. I should do my best to get Fine to like me, since you've given me some permission," I said my thoughts out aloud. I'll work hard and become a person that Fine will like.

"Is that really the person you that you want to like you back?"

"Why are you asking me something like that again?"

"No reason. Well, I'd better be going. Rein's returning. Then, we'll see each other at the Princess Party next week and be sure you notice things." Why is it that it seems like she's not telling me something? I wonder what she's hiding. Did she hide a poison in the food or something?

"Bright-sama! Sorry for the wait. It took a while to find shoes that I wanted to wear. It turns out that Fine was wearing them," Rein said as she walked into the room. "Now, shall we finish our tea?"

I just stared at her. The dress looked amazing on her and her smile was radiant. Like she was sparkling. Then I thought back to what Moon just said. "Is that really the person you that you want to like you back?"

Shade's POV

"You're quiet today Rein. Is something wrong?" This is getting boring, why can't Fine just say that she's herself and then we can have a normal conversation with each other?

"Nothing wrong at all. I was just thinking about some stuff."

"Okay." Then I noticed her feet in the shoes that I got for Rein. "So you like the shoes that I got for you?"

"They're very nice. Thank you for giving them to me. I'm amazed that you actually brought them through. Since it would seem strange that someone like you would go into a store and buy a pair of heels," she said, a slight laughing tone in her voice.

"If you like them so much then, why don't I get you another pair?"

"I'm completely fine with just these, besides I already have 15 pairs of shoes already, at least."

"No, I'm still going to buy a pair for you. This time the heels will be lower and the ribbons should be... pink. After all, you kept almost tripping today and that color is best suited for you, Fine."

She smiled. "You found out?"

"I did. You were just acting like Rein right? After all, Rein can walk in shoes like that better and your smile is different from hers."

Then suddenly Moon appeared. "Good job at finding out the difference Shade so, as a reward here is your red rice," Moon said as she handed me a bowl of rice with red beans. "Enjoy."

"What are you talking about," I asked her. All I said was that Fine was just acting as Rein and she suddenly showed up and started congratulating me. At least I think she was, they way she spoke makes me think differently through.

"Fine, you must be tired wearing those clothes. Why don't you change into some shorts? It'll feel more comfortable, won't it?"

"Yeah, I'll do that," Fine said before quickly running. She looked happy, does she dislike dresses that much?

"Now, let's have a talk Shade."

"Why do I have to talk to you?" Now what's she planning?

"You don't really have to talk, just listen. Since you've passed my little test, I won't be as strict as I have been on the fact that you like Rein."

"Why?" She's acting weirder than normal today.

"Because you can figure out who's who. I wanted to see if you could figure that out," she said as she finished off the red rice." And because I ate your rice," She said bluntly. Then why did she even offer the rice? "Shouldn't you happy about this? It just got a little easier to tell Rein that you like her."

"No, I mean why are you going to do something like that?"

"Didn't you hear me? I'm doing something like this because I ate your rice. Just enjoy the reward instead of questioning it."

I guess that's right. After all, I do like Rein, but she likes Bright. I'll just have to make sure that she falls for me in the end. If I'm just a little nicer to her then eventually won't she fall for me? Now that I think about it, why does Rein like Bright? I guess it could be because he's nice to vampires.

"Well, before you confess I think it would be best to figure out who you like first."

"Why do you say that?"

"No reason. Make sure that you notice a lot of things. See you at the Princess Party next week." She seemed stranger than normal today. I wonder why? Oh well, now what should I eat? This strawberry tart looks good. I took a bite of it. It's good.

"Shade, what were you and Moon talking about?"

"Nothing. Just about which sweet I should try," I said as I turned my head to where she was. Why was she taking so long? Changing clothes only takes about a minute for me.

She was now in shorts wearing long, black socks. The long sleeved, dark red shirt had fit her perfectly and the sleeves had ribbons around the edges. It was girly but more tomboy-ish. It suits her. She was beautiful in her own way. Even through it wasn't the same style as Rein who always wore dresses, she was pretty. Wait, why am I thinking about this?

"Well, before you confess I think it would be best to figure out who you like first."

Is this what she meant by that?
