She flicked up her wrist and pushed back her short hair from her face, clearly irritated.

“ I’m usually a great driver okay? It’s not my fault that you’re so good looking I was distracted.”

My retort froze in my throat as I recognized what she said and I turned away before she could see me got embarrassed.

I coughed and turned back towards the front then tried to change the subject but she swiftly followed up by saying,

“What? you've never been called handsome before? if this gets you so embarrassed you should listen in on the girl's locker room after your practices. A couple of girls almost got sent home for sexual harassment.”

Her charismatically teasing voice infiltrated my induced calm and forced me back to looking out the opposite window until we finally arrived at her workshop.

Unlike Alice, who would wait for me to get out first and open the door for her, Sparrow swiftly got out before I could even register that my life was no longer in danger from her hazardous driving and hit the roof of the car,

“ Get out, Mr. handsome. We don't have a lot of time today. “

I got out and followed her inside where I was once again met with my kidnappers. They all stood scattered around the room but snapped to attention once Sparrow walked into the workroom.

A costume like a suit was shoved into my arms and I was pushed into a changing curtain that had been set up in the room.

Soon, I was back on top of the pedestal being poked and prodded into different looks then having my picture taken.

The quadruplets with the green and yellow hair leaped at me and did my hair and face in a whirlwind. the two worked in tandem and put on a show of teamwork that impressed me.

I decided to catch a quick nap as they worked and the two began to talk to each other,

“ Rin! Why are you doing that? it needs to be a lot more dramatic don't you think?”

“ What do you want me to do? His hair is so short there isn't anything I can do with it except spike it up. but then that might look stupid”

“ Really? it might look nice though. He has rather sharp features so I feel like it could work. You know like a militant/soldier sort of look?”

Rin squealed loudly right by my ear and made me flinch,

“ You’re right! but then you’ll have to change the makeup. Use a bit more to make him look a bit more rugged.”

Right now I was dressed in a two-piece suit that fit like activewear but somehow resembled light leather armor from the middle ages and I'd seen a cape that I figured I would later be strapped into.

“ Ohh. and later on when Finn get here we could have it like a prince and his retainer!”

Oi.

“ Ohh. That would be so cool!”

I never agreed to anything like that. And what do you mean cool? that may just be one of the tackiest things I’ve ever heard.

“Yuko! Sparrow!”

The blue-haired girl whipped her hair back to face her sisters, while I was moved from the comfortable chair onto the pedestal where Airi, the pink-haired quadruplet flitted around me.

“ What?”

“ Would that concept work? like The prince and retainer thing?”

“ Only if we can get Finley here. As things stand we only have his measurements because Sparrow’s brother told us.”

Sparrow chimed in,

“ Although I’m still unsure of how he got them. But go ahead, I made sure he wasn't working tomorrow so he’ll be here.”

I tuned in at that,

“ So you know where he works?”

She opened her mouth to respond but then closed it with a stumped expression and shrugged,

“ No, my older brother said I couldn't investigate him and he never said so I don't know. But Will does and since he’s okay with it, it should be fine.”

“ Don’t you think it's weird though? Like, have you ever been to his house?”

She shook her head once again,

“ No. I’ve never been there and he’s always at mine so I don't stress it.”

As I was about to express how ridiculous his living conditions were I was shushed by Mori who tied a gladiator type mask over my face Yuko took over from there.

As the photoshoot started Sparrow walked around the workroom, doing a million things at once but still managing to hold a conversation with me,

“ So you’re helping Finn too?”

I tried to nod in response but after being hissed at in synchronization from the quadruplets I switched to a verbal response,

“ Yeah. He asked the other day and I figured why not.”

“ So you’re participating in the martial arts and track competition? But what about the other sports? were too big to be anything but a company now so we need representatives for everything.”

“ Yeah I’m doing those two with my team, and the other guys in the dojo have secondary sports as well they said that they would ask their teams. They said that they would enter with a few of their teammates as well.”

She nodded approvingly then offhandedly said,

“ Wow, Good looking and considerate. Ain’t you just a catch?”

After that, I refused to talk to her until the end when I was finally released and the other girls went home. Since I had been kidnapped I did not have a drive home and could only wait for Sparrow.

As I waited for her to help me take off the obnoxious cape from my back I suddenly heard a loud thump from the bathroom and traded looks with her,

“ Is someone still here?”

She slowly began to shake her head but then froze and for the first time, I saw her get flustered.

“ Stay there!”

Still, with how oddly she was behaving I was worried and began to get closer to take a look, but she hissed at me again.

" I. Said. Don't. move"
