Emerald and Mercury singing

Previously:
The red winged female gently touched the blue haired girl's cheek, "You are such a pretty woman."
Neptunia backed away from her and stood partially behind Adam, "Um…who are you? And where did you come from?"
"I just came down the stairs. My name is Flare and I am…"
"She's my mother." The bull faunus replied cutting in so not to be embarrassed by what ever came out of his mothers mouth. However inwardly Adam was happy that Neptunia didn't just assume because they both had bull horns.
"Oh,…that's great." Neptunia said not moving from her spot behind Adam. At this point she didn't care if she looked like a coward, that woman was seriously freaking her out the way she was looking at her. Even her wings were being twitchy.
Flare smiled, "You two must be starved. I have some snacks upstairs if you want any." Neptunia and Adam looked at each other unsure.
Now:
Emerald and Mercury quickly hid the papers they had in their hand behind the backs shoving them in there pockets as they saw Neptunia and Adam walked up close. Their mind went back to when they were in the dungeon.
Flashback:
They were watching the blue haired princess just loosing her shit when they got dragged by the back of their shirts up the stairs. Then like magic they were standing in front of a romantically decorated room and a page shoved into their hands. Flare was smiling at them. "Memorize that song in the few minuets that I need to get the two or I will dress you two up and have you two to where everyone can see you." Then the mad woman disappeared back the way she dragged them from.
Both the dark fairies looked at each other panicked both thinking, 'Fuck.'
End Flashback:
They gave a fake smile as the two got closer shocking the two being set up as they took in the room in shock.
I got a feeling.
Flare showed off the room, "With the short notice this was the best I could do."
That tonight's going to be a good night.
That tonight's going to be a good night.
"Don't do what I won't do." The woman gigged and skipped out.
That tonight's going to be a good…
Adam leveled them with a look, "Stop."
They stopped happily as Emerald said, "Thanks A." Mercury nodded in thankfulness.
The bull faunus nodded in understanding. There was no way they would sing that song willingly. "Go see if the antidote is ready."
"Yes sir." Emerald said walking off with her partner.
Mercury placed the boutonnière on the table, "Here's the boutonnière." He walked next to the green haired girl, "You have a really pretty voice."
She smiled with a light blush on her cheeks, "Thank you, Mercury."
Neptunia and Adam looked around again the bull touching the heart above them with his pointer finger, "Why would my mother do this?"
The two looked at each other then it clicked and they backed away from each other with disgusted expressions. "Who likes this?"
"I certainly don't." Adam replied.
"I hate this."
"I hate it more."
Neptunia smirked and pulled the heart holding the two beams in a heart shape, "Are you sure about that?" The two beams straightened. Neptunia tore the heart in two perfect halves. "They are all fools."
"Just rushing to be in love." Adam agreed with a smile walking in further.
"They always say they can't help it." The female mimicked looking over at the king as he cut the balloons down so they fell with her trident before putting it gently on the table chair.
"They're in chains."
"That only serve to bind you." Neptunia growled out pushing the red balloons off her head.
At the same time they said as they tore up a red paper chain, "It's nothing but trouble."
Running into each other they gagged and backed away. Adam kicked one of the balloons that knocked over one of the beams at the entrance. "What's the point?"
"Bursting bubbles." The princess stepped on a different balloon making a farting noise as the air was let free. This made to the two of them laugh at the sound.
"That's what they get." The bull said picking up a heart only to have a mini heart attack as it got taken from his hand and stuck to the statue of two fairies dancing. He looked at the light fairy with a wide smile as she threw another knife and knocked the blasted statue over.
"It's all lies." She said with a smile.
"The pain." Adam said throwing some paper hearts into the fire.
"The sorrow." Neptunia said as she threw down the boutonnière to the floor and stepped on it.
"Wait." The princess stopped and backed away confused as he picked it up. "I…actually like this one." He flipped it around in his hand before putting it on.
Her dark blue eyes looked even more confused, "May I ask why?"
"I…I really don't know."
"Oh…" She looked at the hideously thing, "…I supposed it's…nice to look at."
Adam couldn't help but smile at that, 'She's honestly doesn't like it. I can see it.' Once again he tried to look at her wings but his attention was dragged to Mercury and Emerald running in with the Sugar Plum Fairy.
"Damn it Emerald, I don't want to carry her." The grey haired male held it away from him letting Adam take it from him.
"Oh, because I want her whispering in my ear how cute we will be as a couple." Emerald growled standing next to him.
"Well what is it."
Nora straightened herself out as Neptunia stood next to the dark king. With a giggle the orange colored fairy said, "It's a riddle."
The blue haired princess got excited, "Oo, I love riddles."
Meanwhile Adam groaned, "Great." He shook his head, "What about all that stuff you asked for?"
"Well seeing as I have been imprisoned as long as I have, I never have time to shop." Then with a smile and tapping of her finger tips together, "Would like to hear the riddle or not?"
Neptunia covered Adam's mouth before he could speak, "Yes please." The bull looked at her while Mercury and Emerald covered their smiles. This princess was a very smart and ballsy. Those dark blue eyes looked at his mask, "I am not loosing my chance to help my sister. Besides I love riddles."
The faunus rolled his eyes as she dropped her hand, "You better be happy we're on the same page."
They both rolled their eyes as Nora made a drum with her magic and drummed it. "The antidote is the one thing more powerful than the potion."
Adam looked at Neptunia, "You like riddles tell me the answer."
"Shut up, I said I like riddles not that I can figure them out in seconds." The princess tapped her chin, "Besides I like more complicated ones with a complicate answer. This one seems like a simple answer. I can't figure them out as fast as complicated ones."
The bull faunus sighed and sat down, "Well next time specify."
"Shh, I'm thinking." Neptunia started to pace as she thought about what the answer could be, "Damn it, I hate simple riddles."
