Tokiya and Kurei were sitting in the living room waiting for the girls to come down. They didn’t really know what to say to each other so there was an awkward silence. Tokiya was wearing on of his blue suits and he held some flowers and a box of chocolates, for Kotohonou. Kurei was wearing a white dress shirt with a black jacket. Tokiya was surprised; he was so used to him wearing his robe.

"Coming!" came a cheerful voice form upstairs, "Well be down in a sec!"

"No we won’t!" came another voice.

"But, Hana-sama, you look so pretty!"

"I’m hideous!"

"No you’re not."

"Yes I am!"

"The dress looks good on you!"

"The neck line is too low! I feel so revealed!

"Nothing’s showing."

"I fell NAKED wearing this!"

"Here, just put on these shoes."

"I don’t think they qualify as SHOES! How can anybody walk in these!"

Kurei and Tokiya walked to the bottom of the stairs. "Uh…girls, is everything alright up there?" Tokiya asked.

"Everything’s fine!" Kotohonou said as she walked down the stairs. She was wearing a light blue dress and light blue pumps. "Hana-sama will be down shortly."

"I’m never coming down!" Kaosu yelled.

"Please." Said Kotohonou as sweetly as she possibly could.

"Oh, alright." Kaosu sighed. She walked down the stairs slowly; she was wearing a red dress with red pumps, which was the reason why she was walking so slowly.

"AHHH!" Kaosu said as she tripped over the last step. Kurei was able to catch her. "Thank you, Kurei!" she said as she patted him on the back.

Kurei had the look of surprise on his face, she looked quite pretty, her hair was usually pulled back but she had her hair down.

"Not a word." Kaosu said to Kurei.

"What?" Kurei said.

"You have that look that says, ‘oh my god, what is she wearing!’" Kaosu replied.

"I wasn’t thinking that." Kurei said.

"Suuuure, you weren’t." she said.

"Here Hana-sama." Kotohonou said as she took out a package. "Happy early birthday!"

"Why thank you! Here I got you something too! Happy late birthday!" Kaosu said as she too took out a package.

They both eagerly opened their gifts. "Oh, cool a camera!" Kotohonou cried, "Thank you!"

"This…this is…" Kaosu said as tears rolled down her face.

"Yup, sure is!" Kotohonou said.

"Thank you so much!" Kaosu said as she gave Kotohonou a big hug.

"Hey, Kurei let me take a picture of you!" Kotohonou said as she held up her camera.

"No." he said.

"Awww…come on." Kotohonou said.

"No." Kurei said, "I’m not photogenic."

"No excuses." Kotohonou said as she quickly snapped a picture, but Kurei was quicker and raised his hand, covering the lens.

"Fine, but I will get a picture of you, in your NORMAL clothes." Kotohonou said as she gave the camera to Tokiya. "Take a picture of me and Hana-sama, in our pretty dresses!" Kotohonou cheerfully said.

"No." said Kaosu. "I’m not photogenic either."

"Please!" Kotohonou begged, "you rarely ever wear a dress and I want to remember what you look like with one on. The last time you wore a dress it was one hundred years ago!"

"I wore a kimono, a couple times!" Kaosu said.

"That doesn’t count, come on, please!"

"Fine."

Tokiya snapped the picture. They all walked outside. Kotohonou still had her camera with her so she could snap more photos. She tried to snap some photos of Kurei but he was to quick for her.
