Laurel turned away from Farren, "When are the Chious coming to do yo think?" she asked Nic.

--

Rosen reached up and straightened Long's cap, face still a little red.

Nic shrugged.

--

Long's face was also a little red. And he was having difficulty keeping his gaze on Rosen's face.

"Wonder where Yue and James are..." she mused.

--

James continued to fuss over his jacket, it just wouldn't sit right.

--

"You look... really cute," Rosen whispered, keeping his hands on Long's hair.

"... Should I whistle for your backstage crew?" Yue asked as she finished up her hair.

--

Long's blush deepened a little. "... I still don't think a nurse would wear this," he mumbled.

James made a face in the mirror at her before starting on his own hair.

--

"Who cares?" Rosen whispered as he leaned in closer.

So Yue sat and waited while James finished up.

--

Long didn't reply as he stood on his toes, trying to give Rosen a kiss.

James was very particular but eventually he was done and stood with a smile, "Hopefully your brother doesn't kill me," he chuckled.

--

Rosen let him as he reached around and felt Long up.

"Kaliko won't let him," Yue reassured James with a yawn. "Besides, he'll probably be more distracted by the transformed Long."

--

A shiver ran up Long's spine as he put his arms around Rosen's neck.

"Good points... as always," James teased as he put an arm around Yue.

"Is this the place?" Blaze asked Kale.

Kale shrugged, "It's ornate enough," he muttered, looking at all the bright lights.

Blaze shrugged back before grabbing Kale's hand and walking in with him.

Kale tried to stay in the background as much as possible. But Laurel ran up to them, dragging Nic behind her, "... What are you guys dresses as?" she asked, confused.

When Kale didn't respond, Blaze explained, "Jolly Ranchers."

Laurel blinked before laughing, "That's original," she praised. Kale shrugged a little.

"It was Kale's idea," Blaze explained.
