Chapter 130: Happiest Place on Earth!

DISCLAIMER: I do not own Skip Beat, for if I did, Kyoko's White Day gift would include Kuon.

"Oh my goodness, Julie! Did that just happen? How do we deal with this? We've never had a chance to figure out something like this. He never brought a girl home before. We've never had a daughter before. They're sleeping in the same room. Do you think they're doing…" Kuu paused his frantic pacing to look at his wife and hissed, "IT!"

Julie rolled her eyes. She was supposed to be the dramatic one in this family. "Kuu, they are two hot blooded young adults that have been living together for months. I'm pretty sure they're having sex."

Kuu put his hands over his ears, "La, la, la, la, la…. I can't hear you." Julie burst out laughing. He was so silly. "She's my baby girl..." he wailed. It was a good thing there was a whole floor between their room and the kids' otherwise they would have been disturbed by Kuu's emotional outbursts.

"Who's a baby? She's a beautiful, talented, independent young woman. You're going to have to accept that. She's in love. They're in love. You forget I wasn't much older than Kyoko when we had Kuon."

"Oh God," Kuu moaned with anguish and sat on the edge of the bed. He dropped his head in his hands. "I know I joked around that I wanted grandbabies but the reality of it all is quite frightening. You saw what we were like as parents; we were so young...our son Julie, our baby boy. We loved him with all our heart but we still failed him. We were too busy growing up ourselves, too focused on our careers, to ever see him clearly." Kuu sobbed into his hands.

"How much did you have to drink? You're an emotional wreck," Julie scolded. "I think I know what this is about. You were scared today, weren't you?" Kuu lifted his tear-stained face to his wife. "I know I was terrified. I told myself not to screw this up several times. I was afraid Kyoko wouldn't like me. I was afraid Kuon wouldn't love me anymore but I think we're going to be okay." She rubbed Kuu's back. "I think we're all doing okay. Well, maybe I made a poor choice of giving Kyoko some champagne when she's still underage. I'm going to learn from that mistake. I'll have to teach her how to decline alcohol without offending anyone at these fashion functions she's bound to attend as a designer's assistant."

That sobered him up quickly. She was right. Those types of events could get shady fast. Kyoko was a pure Japanese maiden, well not so much these days thanks to his hentai son, but she was still a greenhorn when it came to the celebrity world. Hollywood was a whole other beast compared to Japan. He was glad Kuon would be around to keep her safe. It pained Kuu to think it but it was probably the sole reason for him returning home in the first place.

"Come on darling let's get to bed," Julie tugged on him to stand so they could snuggle under the covers. "We're having a family fun day with our kids."

Kuu asked his wife while in bed, "Do you think it's okay if we tag along with them tomorrow?"

"Kuon wouldn't have asked if he didn't want us there. It's been so long since we've been there. I wonder how much has changed over the years."

"Are you good with the plan we set to get out of work early?"

"It's A-okay. Everyone is aware of my preexisting health conditions."

"You don't have any preexisting health conditions," Kuu responded with a chuckle.

"They know I get sad," Julie replied softly. Kuu tightened his arms around his wife.

The first month after Kuon left for Japan, Julie could barely find the energy to get out of bed. For a split second back then Kuu thought he would lose her too. With professional help and secret updates from Lory, they were able to get through the worst of it. They threw themselves into work and watched from afar as their son thrived overseas under a pseudonym. They couldn't let his efforts go to waste. They had to do their best to improve themselves as well for his homecoming.

"It's a good cover story though," she added after a few quiet moments then yawned.

"It sure is. Good night, my love." Kuu said with a kiss to the top of her head.

"Sweet dreams, Kuu. I love you," Julie replied. She snuggled into his chest and closed her eyes.

Kyoko contorted and stretched like a feline basking in the warm glow of the sun. Only there was no sun. Nothing but the twinkling lights above. She smiled softly to herself as she recalled the wonderful day she had with Kuon, his parents, and even Tina. She didn't know what the plan was for the day since Kuon insisted on keeping things a surprise. Images of yesterday's highlights floated through her mind until she got to the end. Her face turned crimson as the clear memory of what she did to Kuon right under the very noses of his parents occupied her mind. She whimpered at her shamelessness. How could she possibly face his parents again? Should she apologize for her actions? Maybe she could just pretend not to remember.

She stared at Kuon sleeping peacefully next to her. She never did get to hit him with a pillow last night. She pretended to sleep when he came into the room too embarrassed about what she did that she couldn't face him. At some point, while he was in the shower she fell asleep for real. What a shame? She thought while rolling over to her side to face him directly. She reached out her fingertips to brush the spun gold covering his face. He reminded her of a sleeping angel with his light features. She traced softly over the light-colored brow. The Muse was thorough in her work.

A small smile graced his lips before his eyelids fluttered open to reveal intense green eyes. Kyoko inhaled sharply at the sheer beauty of this man lying next to her. She wondered if she would ever get used to waking up next to him in this lifetime.

"Good morning, beautiful," he whispered. He pulled her closer to him until their bodies and noses were touching then proceeded to place small kisses on her lips. His strong arms moved up and down caressing her back. Her heart fluttered with each touch of his lips and each grazes of his fingers on her heated skin. His parents already thought she was a shameless hussy. Her thoughts, not theirs. What would they think if they heard them making love? Kyoko wasn't exactly quiet. It would be absolutely mortifying for her. The biggest obstacle holding her back was Mother Nature. The pills shortened her cycle to barely a few days. She should be at the tail end of it today but now would still be too messy for her.

She shrunk away from him when reached to stroke between her thighs. Kyoko glanced up when he let out a frustrated sigh and turned on his back. Kuon chuckled and raked his hands over his face, confusing Kyoko. Why is he laughing? He turned and flashed her that Godly smile that always weakened her in the knees and made her heart race. No fair, Mister!

She rolled toward his side of the bed and laid her chin on his smooth chest. She waited for him to explain his behavior. He tucked his hands behind his head and continued to smile instead. Kyoko became aware of the hardness of his muscles beneath her with every rise and fall of his chest. She turned her head to lay her cheek against him. She could hear his heart beating erratically in his chest. She turned and pressed her lips against the skin where she thought his heart resided. Kuon gasped and shifted beneath alerting her to his arousal. They couldn't have sex right now but there was no reason he had to suffer.

She parted her lips and kissed the spot again to tease him. His breathing became shallow. She licked and sucked that spot repeatedly as her fingertips grazed his abs and lower to cup him between the legs. He groaned as his whole body tensed.

"Kyoko," he wheezed, pushing himself against her hand. She stroked the contours of his length through his loose pants and continued to suck the same spot until she left a deep bruise on his chest. He hissed when she bit his skin but the pain was quickly replaced with pleasure as her hand slipped into his pants. He wasn't wearing any boxers. Kyoko couldn't help the giggle that escaped her lips when his hand delved into her hair and ever so gently applied pressure for her to go lower.

Kuon's hand was possessed. He couldn't believe he just did that. He cursed under his breath when she pulled away from him. It was at the tip of his tongue to apologize but she positioned herself between his legs further shocking him. His eyes widened at the mischievous smile on her lips and the conflicting blush on her cheeks. Her expression made him grow harder. Her fingers hooked on the waistband of his pants and tugged. Kuon instinctively lifted his pelvis aiding her to pull the garment down and off. He sprung loose standing at attention with pre-come already oozing from his tip. Her golden eyes flashed with desire as they roamed over the length of his naked body. Knowing she still desired him eased his earlier apprehension. He thought it was something he did.

He gulped when her hands slid up his thighs and gripped his erection with both hands. Kuon sank back down into the goose down pillows and stared at the lit canopy above. It felt like this was happening under the stars. It reminded him that he had to take her to his spot one night while they were here. All rational thought left his mind as he groaned with pleasure. He shuddered when her hot tongue licked the droplets off his tip. He was so pent up he could have come right then and there. He focused on his breathing and dug deep to prolong his pleasure. He jolted when she cupped his sack and kneaded gently. Fuck! She was going to make him come. He looked down just in time to catch her tongue flicking away the newly formed moisture beads off his head.

"Baby," he begged, gripping the bedsheets roughly and jerking his hips up. Kyoko showed mercy and closed her pink pouty lips over the head of his shaft. It always amazed him how that sweet little mouth could swallow so much of him. His eyes rolled back into his head intoxicated by the pleasure she delivered. She nibbled, sucked, and licked the length of him until he was at his limit. He wanted nothing more than to sink into her, hard and fast, and drive them both to oblivion.

"Please," he panted out begging for release. "Please," he repeated with more desperation when she continued to torture him with her slow caresses. Without lifting his head, he reached out and searched for her. His hand delved into her hair when he finally found her. She let out a soft moan, making Kuon loosen his grip and stay his hips. Did I hurt her? He moaned when she decided to put him out of his misery and increased her strokes. Within moments, he exploded violently at the back of her throat causing her to gag. He expected her to release him so she wouldn't choke but she continued to swallow around his erection until she sucked him dry. She wasn't done. She licked every inch of him and cleaned him up. She was so hot.

Kuon sagged into the bed completely spent. She was so good at this. Kyoko joined him after going to the bathroom and snuggled into his side. He tilted her chin so she could face him and kissed the tip of her nose. It was selfless of her to think of his needs first. He would have to pay her back in full whenever she would let him touch her intimately again. He hoped it was soon.

They spent the morning once again with his parents until they left for work together. Kyoko was quiet at first in the presence of his parents but was soon her usual sweet self. She was probably a little embarrassed by the intimacy they shared this morning. They still had a couple of hours before it was time to leave for the surprise he planned today.

Kyoko sat relaxed on the couch with her feet up, sifting through one of his mother's tabloid magazines. Now and again she would gasp at whatever scandalous news she read about an American celebrity and shared it with him. She looked adorable and perfect sitting in his childhood home like she was always meant to be there. He knew his mother took her on a full tour of the house interior, well almost the full tour. His mother told him that they bypassed his old room.

That's what he loved about Kyoko. She allowed him to get to things in his own time instead of demanding. It wasn't his intention to keep her in the dark about that part of his life but he had other excuses to avoid it. He left Kyoko in the living room and went downstairs to his room.

"Kuon?" Kyoko called out. He found her standing at the foot of the stairs gazing at him. He flashed her a strained smile. He had no idea how long he stood in front of the door without entering.

"Dad, gave me the key this morning," he said quietly as she approached his side.

"You don't have to go in if you don't want to," she assured him. She took his hand in hers and entwined their fingers then squeezed.

"I want to show you," he confessed. Kyoko nodded with understanding. He took a deep breath and unlocked the door. He opened it slowly, took one look inside, and slammed the door shut. Shit! He smiled nervously down at her. Her eyes flashed with amusement at his discomfort. Why in the hell didn't his parents take that down and why did he let Rick convince him to put it up in the first place. This was going to be embarrassing.

He sighed and opened the door quickly. He rushed in like a hurricane and ripped down the poster of the blonde playboy pinup on the wall across the door. His eyes scanned the room for any defaming evidence. He couldn't believe nothing changed. The roach of a joint he last smoked was still in the ashtray on his desk for goodness sake. He opened his desk drawer and threw it inside only to find more rolling paper and a baggie of marijuana. Did his parents not go through any of his stuff while he was gone? The place was free of dust so he knew someone maintained it while he was away.

His eyes fell upon photographs of him, Rick and Tina stuffed in the drawer. There were a lot of things in this room that reminded him of his best friend. The posters on the wall, the stack of CDs on the shelf by the stereo. Rick had a heavy influence on him when he was a teen. Kuon learned a lot from him.

He whirled around when he heard a squeak behind him. Kyoko was examining a magazine from the pile Rick gave him. Noooooo! Those were all x-rated. He flew to her side and snatched it out of her hand.

"Um, um, Rick gave me those. The articles you know. They're really interesting," Kuon stammered, turning his back on her and walking to the other side of the room to stuff the magazine in his desk. He needed to clean out his room of all this embarrassing paraphernalia.

"My name is Brittany. I'm nineteen years old and my favorite position is the reverse cowgirl…"

Kuon turned a deep shade of red as he twisted in her direction. She was reading another magazine from the stack. She turned the page in his direction. He caught a glimpse of a busty blonde bombshell in nothing but a cowboy hat and boots. Her hands and hair barely covered her lady bits as she straddled a mechanical bull. In his defense, he never looked at those magazines. He only took them to appease Rick.

"The articles?" Kyoko smirked. She was struggling not to laugh as she continued to read. "I love my men like my horses. The feel of strong muscles between my thighs gets me ex..."

Kuon was on her in a flash before she could read any further but Kyoko managed to evade him. She tried to read between peals of laughter as she ran around the large room to escape his grasp. He finally caught her around the waist. They lost their footing and conveniently collapsed in a heap of laughter on the soft mattress of the bed.

All his worries about this room were gone thanks to her. He pinned her to the bed and nuzzled her neck. He was overdue for a shave so he used his scruffiness to tickle her neck until she begged him to stop. He rolled over to relieve her of his weight and she could catch her breath.

"So this is the famous Kuon Hizuri's room," she finally said, glancing around the room. It was similar in size as hers with one wall of glass and a balcony overlooking the ocean. One wall had a large wooden desk surrounded by shelves overflowing with books. To the right was a reading nook. She could imagine him sitting in that area just reading the hours away or doing schoolwork at the desk. The other wall had a long low shelf with a stereo system and a lot of CDs and knickknacks in it. Above the shelf, posters decorated the wall. She recognized a couple of movie posters but one, in particular, caught her eye.

"Boys don't cry?" She read aloud. The poster was simple with the silhouette of a man with his back towards them holding a guitar.

Kuon laughed beside her. "That was Rick's idea of a joke." He didn't elaborate on the tears he used to shed as a child. "It's an album and a song by the band The Cure. I've played some of their stuff for you before at least the not so depressing stuff."

"Can you play it for me?" she asked, nodding to the stereo. Kuon rolled off the bed and sat in front of the shelf shuffling through the stack of CDs until he found the album. Kyoko joined him on the floor. They spent the next hour listening to music and going through the stuff on his shelf. He had a story for each object regardless of its triviality. She loved learning about this adorable side of him.

Kuon pulled the car over at a gas station once he got off the freeway. "Do we need to put gas in the car?" Kyoko asked, looking out the window at her new surroundings for any clue of their destination.

"No, but I need both my hands to put this on you," Kuon stated. He unraveled a strip of fabric from his jacket pocket. "Turn your head the other way."

Kyoko looked at him skeptically. She had no clue what he wanted to do to her.

"It's to blindfold you. I want a total surprise." He bypassed level one and went full bore level three puppy dog Corn face. She couldn't resist that level of adorableness. She turned her head to face out the passenger window while he slipped the strip of cloth over her eyes and tied it securely behind her head, careful not to pull her hair.

"Is it too tight?" He asked with concern. Kyoko shook her head and turned in the direction of his voice awkwardly.

He waved his hand in front of her but she didn't react. "Be honest, can you see out?"

"I can't see anything, Corn. Promise." She replied. He leaned in and pecked her on the lips.

"Oh!" she cried out in shock. "No fair, you have to warn me when you're going to do something like that.

"That would defeat the purpose of a surprise attack," he told her, putting the car back in gear and merging into traffic.

"Hmmph," she huffed and folded her arms over her chest with a cute pout. Kuon chuckled and kept his eye on the road.

They drove for a while before they neared their destination. He glanced at this watch. They were making good headway. He accounted for traffic delays in their commute to make their appointment on time.

"Kyoko, please turn your head," he commanded. He reached up with his free hand and gently tugged at the knot of her blindfold. It slipped right off. He held up his phone awkwardly to record the moment glancing between Kyoko and the road. He hoped a traffic cop didn't catch him on his phone.

Kyoko had to blink several times to get used to the sunlight. When she finally did, her jaw dropped at the sight before her. Her eyes adjusted just in time for her to catch the large sign with its flags and castle.

"I take it, you're excited," Kuon chuckled. Kyoko could barely nod. She was too shocked.

Kuon showed the parking attendant his pass. He was directed to the front of the lot. "Are you ready to play?" Kuon asked while turning off the ignition once he found a space. He didn't realize he was talking to himself since Kyoko was already out of the car and jumping for joy.

"Corn, I can't believe this is the surprise," she exclaimed. No wonder he told her to dress comfortably and wear layers. The climate here always started chilly, warmed up, and then went back to chilly once the sun had set.

"Do you have everything you need?" He asked, coming around the car with her hat and sunglasses. She held up the small crossbody bag with her phone and wallet. "Good, let's get going. I don't want you to miss anything I have planned."

Kyoko had to hold on to her hat to keep it from blowing off while they navigated their way to the tram. Several pictures later, they were finally passed the ticket booths. Pulling out his phone, Kuon guided her to one of the attendants standing by the entrance. He showed his phone to the employee who in turn guided them past the crowd and inside to another employee that appeared to be expecting them. Kyoko was overwhelmed by all the sights and sounds. She heard the train before seeing it. Above her were an actual railroad station and track.

"Welcome Princess Kyoko and Prince Kuon, I presume. My name is Tanya, I'll be one of your VIP guides today. May I please scan your reservation?"

Kuon handed his phone over to her which she scanned with her device. "Perfect," she said, handing him back his phone.

"Is everyone in your party with you?"

"Well, we are expecting our parents but they won't be able to come until later," Kuon explained.

"No problem. Thank goodness for cell phones. We can rendezvous with them when they do arrive. Would that work?" Tanya offered.

"Yes, thank you very much."

Kyoko was overwhelmed by everything around her. This was her first time at an amusement park. They had yet to enter the park and she was already drifting off to La-la land as the train pulled up to the station.

"Would you like to take a picture at the entrance? It's all-inclusive in your package."

Kyoko and Kuon set up in front of the flower bed and posed for a picture. Tanya had the photographer scan a card. She explained the photo card as they walked through a short tunnel under the train station and out into a small town square. The photos would be linked to their account on the card and they could retrieve them online later.

"Before we begin, please follow me this way to pick up your badges at guest services." As they walked, Tanya gave her spiel about the history of the park. Kyoko listened with rapt attention to everything the guide told them. It was fascinating to hear about the park's evolution.

They followed Tanya inside the building, bypassing the crowd of guests lining up to be helped. She walked straight up behind the counter and gave them each a VIP pass on a themed lanyard to wear around their neck. Kyoko's was a cute pattern of different princess characters while Kuon's had superheroes. "And here are the passes for your parents when they arrive."

"Thank you very much," he said, handing the passes to Kyoko to put in her purse.

"Oh, how could I forget. Happy birthday, Princess." Tanya exclaimed, garnering several curious looks from others. Tanya handed Kyoko a birthday pin with her name written on it.

"But Kuon, it's not my birthday," Kyoko whispered.

"Just go with it, Princess," Kuon assured her quietly.

"And these are for you. It's our Briar Rose design," their guide said handing her a glittering rose gold headband with matching mouse ears attached.

Kyoko blushed faintly while Kuon adjusted her hair around the headband. He put her hat in the bag Tanya had the ears in and proceeded to carry it around as they walked.

"Great, let's start with a picture in front of the castle." Tanya gestured for them to follow her out.

The magic of Kyoko's pin was instantaneous, her name was written on the pin so as soon as she walked out of the building she heard, "Happy Birthday Princess" or "Happy Birthday Kyoko." It was shocking but she loved it. Those words followed her throughout the day.

Kyoko walked awestruck as they made their way down Main street and approached the castle. If it wasn't for Kuon holding tightly to her hand she would have floated off in the sea of people out of pure bliss. Once again, they stood to the side and waited for the photographer to finish with a family. As soon as the family was done, Kyoko and Kuon were ushered to go next.

Kyoko felt awkward about cutting in line but that was one of the many perks of being a VIP guest at the park. Their first hour was spent going on rides and checking out shops in the adventure-themed area. They paused for a moment to take a break. Kuon bought her and, though it was declined vehemently, Tanya a pineapple soft-serve ice cream cone. She shared the refreshing treat with Kuon.

After their break, they spent another half hour in the next area of the park. Tanya checked her watch as soon as they rendezvoused with her at the mansion's cemetery.

"Let's start making our way back to the castle," Tanya suggested. "It's almost time for your appointment."

"Appointment?" Kyoko echoed.

Kuon smiled at her. "You'll have to wait and see." They followed Tanya back to the castle and into a room off the side. Kyoko and Kuon smiled at all the little girls in the boutique admiring all the princess dresses and accessories. Tanya brought them to the back of the shop that revealed, behind heavy curtains, a salon. There were several girls of all ages sitting in chairs getting their hair, nails, and makeup done.

"Happy Birthday, Princess," the woman at the counter greeted her warmly. "If you don't mind waiting a few minutes we will have you in a chair with Lidia soon."

"What?" Kyoko asked, astonished.

"Thank you, we appreciate it," Kuon spoke up beside her.

"Kuon, what is this?"

"This is just the beginning," he told her. Kyoko gaped at him. What else did he have planned?

While Kyoko had her makeover, Kuon left with Tanya to retrieve his parents. It took him a minute to pluck them out from the crowd. They fit right in with the rest of the tourists. Kuu wore a Mickey Mouse Hawaiian print button-up shirt, khaki cargo shorts, a bucket hat, sunglasses with high white crew socks, and sneakers. He looked nothing like the celebrity father he knew in that get up. Julie had her hair in a ponytail with a pink sun visor and sunglasses. Her outfit consisted of denim capris, a Minnie Mouse t-shirt and jacket, and a fanny pack strapped around her waist. His fashionista mother was well hidden. He laughed when they greeted him in Russian. He appreciated that they put a lot of effort into their disguises to spend time with him and Kyoko. He gave his parents their passes out of Kyoko's purse that he had slung across his shoulder.

When they returned to the salon, Kuon was ushered to another room while Julie and Kuu waited for Kyoko to finish. Kyoko sat excitedly as the pixie dust was showered upon her for the finishing touch of her makeover. She loved that she was able to pick out all her colors and keep things age-appropriate for her. The stylist was skilled enough that everything on her shimmered in a flattering light. She didn't look like the little girls around her. She was led to a private room to change her clothes. The dress hanging on the hook looked nothing like the princess dresses she saw in the shop. The fabric was rich and heavy. The silver embroidery on the dark purple fabric appeared to be hand-stitched. How did Kuon do this? She eagerly removed her clothes and put on the dress. With a little contorting, she got the zipper in the back up by herself.

"Princess is everything alright?" the employee asked from outside the curtained room.

"Yes, I'll be out in a second." Kyoko slipped on the soft silver flats provided with the dress. She smiled at her reflection in the antique mirror. She looked like a real princess. She placed her items into the gift bag she was provided quickly. She couldn't wait to show Kuon. She smoothed her long skirt and stepped out of the dressing room.

"Oh, honey, you look so beautiful," An American gushed, rushing up to Kyoko. She looked around nervously for Kuon but didn't see him.

"Thank you, very much," she said formally with a slight bow. Everyone is so friendly in this country.

"It's me, darling," Julie whispered.

Kyoko gaped at the woman in front of her. It shocked her to see the fashionable woman she knew dressed like the masses. If she had looked into the woman's eyes she would have known right away it was his mother.

"There's dad. He went to check on Kuon," she pointed as a man, looking every bit like a tourist, walked into the area. His face lit up when he saw Kyoko. She covered her mouth to suppress her giggle as she took in his attire.

"You look gorgeous, honey," Kuu praised. He walked up to her and kissed her cheek. "Someone is waiting for you."

Kyoko and the Hizuris followed the employee to another room where Kuon waited dressed in his costume looking every bit the royal prince she knew him to be. In his white embellished jacket and matching pants.

Kyoko's eyes watered as she walked up to him. "I can't believe you did all this." She cupped his face in her hands and pecked him on the lips.

"You look beautiful, my princess," he said, sweeping low into a graceful bow. I have something else for you." Kuon turned and nodded. He walked toward the employee at the door and returned with something in his hands. As he got closer, Kyoko noticed a glittering tiara decorated with amethyst and white gemstones sitting on a red velvet pillow. "A tiara fit for a queen." He handed the pillow to his mother and set the crown on top of her head, careful not to ruin her new updo.

Kyoko went weak-kneed at the sight. She hoped, for once, the stones were fake. He escorted her to an area with the perfect courtyard backdrop for a photoshoot. Julie took charge of suggesting the right poses. Kyoko's favorite shot had to be when Kuon got down on bended knee and kissed the back of her hand.

When the photo shoot was over, Kyoko expected them to change back into their normal attire but Kuon had other plans. A royal butler entered the room and presented Kyoko with a card on a silver platter. She picked up the card and read the script. Royal Tea Party!

"Would you like to go?" He asked, holding out his arm for her. She took his arm eager with anticipation. They were all invited.

They followed the butler through another doorway and entered an extravagantly decorated dining hall. It was filled with several other little princesses and their families already seated. The staff was all in costume to fit the theme. The little guests mistook Kuon and Kyoko to be part of the attraction and stopped them for an autograph or a picture. After explaining who they were to the parents, they still posed for pictures if the children wanted it.

Kyoko was impressed by the string quartet in the corner, the crystal chandeliers, the white linen tablecloths, and the porcelain tea set on the table. Kuon held out her chair for her to sit while Kuu did the same for Julie. The little family talked among themselves with Julie sharing the hilarious story of how she got them out of work. It wasn't professional of the parents but they didn't regret being here with their adorable kids.

The staff came around pushing in silver tea carts filled with tiers of dainty sandwiches and sweets.

"Thanks, son," Kuu beamed to Kuon with a thumbs up. Their table was the only one that received two carts full of food. Kuon knew his dad's stomach well.

When all the guests were settled and enjoying the food and tea, the real princesses glided into the room to music and fanfare. Kyoko bounced with excitement at the spectacle. She was so excited to see her favorite princesses singing and dancing just like in the movies. After the little show, the princesses dispersed and took the time to converse with each table. Kuon slid a little notepad and pen in Kyoko's direction.

"For autographs," he gestured with his head. Kyoko caught the princess at the next table over signing the little girl's book. She was excited to do the same. She leaned in and kissed her boyfriend in gratitude. He thought of everything to make this time special.

Kyoko managed to get each of the princess' autographs and take photographs with them despite all the fangirling she did. Her cute reaction fit perfectly in with all the other young girls. It was what Kuon had hoped for when he planned this event for her.

After the tea party, they changed back into their regular attire. Kyoko learned that their costumes were provided by Kuon and delivered ahead to the park. This meant they could cosplay later should they so choose in the privacy of their home.

They spent the rest of the evening enjoying the VIP treatment into all the rides and attractions. Toward the end of the night, they were led to a priority viewing location at the front of the park. Kuon embraced Kyoko from behind as the fireworks burst into the sky high above Sleeping Beauty's castle.

"I love you, Corn," she whispered as tears pricked her eyes. She turned her face up to kiss him. Today was a magical dream come true.

Kuu managed to snap a well-timed picture of the couple kissing as the fireworks exploded in the background.

AN: Thanks for sticking with me! I loosely based the events at Disney on my personal experience (just not the VIP kind that the rich and famous can only afford) XD. I was always planning on having him take her to Disneyland and Sensei fueled it even more with those WD tickets. This was my way of paying homage to that extra chap in the manga. I'm sorry if anyone was expecting a proposal. The whole time I was writing the scene I was like shit this is proposal level stuff right here Kuon...STAHHP IT! But alas, it was not meant to be this time. Anyway, I hope you enjoyed this chapter.

AND OMG I read the new chapter and oh my heart! I loved it! Sensei always slaps me in the face with her realism (which I love) and that's why I write this fairytale to speed things along, XD.

Thank you for the reviews of the last chapter. I appreciate hearing from you!

Until next time, ja ne! ^_^
