Baron was wrapped up in Haru's arms as they lay together on a gauzy cloud. The sweet brunette stroked his ear as the cloud drifted lazily through the night sky. If he reached out, he could touch the stars.

"I missed you Baron," she murmured, nuzzling her cheek against the top of his head. He reached up and fingered her silky hair, twirling the strands in his gloveless hand.

"And I you, my dear," he whispered back, taking his free hand and entwining their fingers together. It felt strange, but in a good way, to slip his furry fingers in between her naked ones.

"Do you love me Baron?"

"You know I do." He smiled, mumbled to himself, "I always have."

"Then you won't mind if I do this, will you?" His lovely brunette placed a slender hand against his cheek, and she bent forward until he was gazing into her chocolate brown eyes. Leaning further, he felt her sweet breath on his lips and the tip of her delicate nose brush his chin, and their lips were just about to connect…

"Hi Baron!" a voice, significantly higher in pitch than his Haru's, said. Not entirely suppressing his groan, Baron opened his eyes to find the innocent brown pair replaced with irises that glittered gold instead.

"Belinda," he grumbled as her daffodil strands tickled his throat. "Can't we have this meeting later? I was with Haru…"

"Haru this, and Haru that. Haru, Haru, Haru," Belinda repeated mockingly, her expression dark as the light faded from her eyes. "All you ever think about is Haru." Her head disappeared from his view, and behind him he felt her shifting around. "Fine then. I understand how it is."

"Understand how what is?" Baron asked slowly, afraid to hold still but equally afraid to move.

"Don't play dumb!" she snapped as she wiggled one leg free from beneath his back. "I understand how you feel." Her other leg came free, and Baron was now only being supported by spindly arms. However, he couldn't sit up and thus was forced to listen to the irritated fairy's tirade.

"I'm afraid I don't follow…"

Belinda cut him off. "I understand that you're going to choose some human over the fairy you promised your hand to fifty-two years ago."

"What?!" Belinda chose that moment to remove her hands, and Baron suddenly tumbled headfirst through the cloud. "That's what you get you lousy two-timer!" she screamed down at him through the hole. "So stay out!"

All the while Baron was falling what seemed like thousands of feet, he heard the distant echo of evil cackling and the faint words to a song:

"Baron and Haru, sittin' in a tree. K-I-S-S-I-N-G! First comes love, then comes marriage, then comes a kitty in a baby carriage!"

It was at that moment Baron's worst fear was realized.
