"It's big enough for two people to live comfortably in it. It's not big enough to own a piano though. The only way I could get a piano in there is if Lex moved out. I'm not making him leave though, I enjoy the company. If he did move out one day though, I suppose I could turn the spare room into a music room and put the piano in there. Though that would mean no one could sleep over unless they wanted to sleep on the couch." Jesse explained softly. "I wouldn't want a mansion Radiant if that's what you're thinking. I do love my house but if for some reason I had to get a bigger one I would. Yes, it would be a lot of cleaning, not that I mind." he agreed with a smile. It would be pretty neat to own a piano, then he wouldn't need to bother his sister so that he could use hers. "You would be sad if I got a bigger house Radiant?" Jesse asked curiously.

Faida nodded as she ate her food and soon finished it all up. "Yes you did Soldier." she agreed and blushed softly when she noticed he was holding her hand. She gave it a gentle squeeze and chuckled. "I would feel bad taking a baby from its mother. Besides, I do not know if Radiance would allow me to bring home a little friend." Faida explained. Part of her wanted to see these baby animals though and she did want to take one home if she was allowed to of course. "What do you want to do Soldier?" she asked and laughed softly. "If you were a puppy I would very much take you home and take very good care of you." Faida answered honestly.

"I would if you where alone." Radiance answered honestly as she looked down at her lap. " I don't like you alone. I don't like anyone alone. People shouldn't be alone. I was alone before Faida and now that I have her I wouldn't ever want to go back to being alone. Once you find someone it's hard to go back to your old ways." She said as she smiled up at him. " A big home is nothing without someone to share it with. I learned that." She said as she looked at Kia leaning up and softly nuzzled her nose with his. It made her smile and laugh as she did so. She smiled as she laughed. " So that is what that feels like. " She said as she laughed softly. " If you want a bigger house that is up to you. And we could get you a key board. There are really nice ones that are just as good as a piano. That way you could put it away when you are done. Besides if you get a bigger house it may not be around here. And then..." She said as her words trailed off. She looked down at her lap as she frowned. " I wouldn't be able to see you. And I would miss you terribly."

Lex laughed as he smiled hearing her replies. " I would hope you would take care of me. Because I'll always take care of you." Lex said as he grinned at her meaning what he said. " I am sure that Radiance wouldn't mind. And that is what happens is most end up in loving homes with people." Lex said as he stared at her impressed with her. " So shall we head out? " He asked as he got up and started cleaning up his plate and the dishes he used to make their meal. "Besides maybe we could find a house. I'm sure Jesse is ready for me to get out of his hair. You know me better than anyone so I would love you to help me find a place."

Jesse stared at Radiance and listened to what she was saying. She was right, a big house would just be depressing if he had no one to share it with. His sister had a big house, but she also had a family of her own. He had no one, well except for Radiance but she had her own house and he wasn't going to ask her to move in with him. He knew she enjoyed living with Faida and that made him happy. "You're right." he said softly once she had finished and chuckled when she nuzzled her nose against his. It was rather adorable really, to see her this happy. However, when he saw her sad again, he gently lifter up her chin with his finger so that she could see him and kissed her nose softly. "Hey, stop that. That's not true Radiant. If I ever moved farther from you, I would visit you every day before and after work. I can promise you that." Jesse promised seriously. "I'm not leaving you alone anymore Radiant, I don't want to. I want to be able to spend as much time with you as possible. I want to be able to keep you happy like this." he explained honestly.

Faida smiled and stood up, "I will always take good care of you Lex." she started and thought for a moment. "I will have to call her just to make sure. Maybe she will be happy to have a new friend as well, maybe it would make her happy too." she added as she thought about having a pet in the house. It would be nice to spend time with her pet if Lex was at work and Radiance as well. That way she wouldn't be so lonely anymore. "We can leave when you are ready." Faida answered and shook her head. "Well, I do not think Jesse is kicking you out. I think he likes having some company. I think if he wanted you out he would tell you." she pointed out but nodded. "I will be happy to help you any way that I can." she answered.

Radiance blushed as Jesse lifted her chin and kissed her nose. She couldn’t help but smile as he did so. She gave a nod hearing what he had to say on the matter at hand. She smiled happily for him hearing his sweet words. “You promise we want have to be alone again? I promise to also never leave you alone again. “ She said softly as she smiled warmly at him reaching up and wrapping her arms around his neck hugging him close to her. She closed her eyes for a moment as she enjoyed the embrace. Kia was the one human that she never wanted to leave his side. He was one of the few humans she would give her life for if asked. He could hurt her like no other could but in the end she loved him like she had never loved another.

Radiance slowly open her eyes as she thought about Kia and his words. She felt slightly guilty as she thought about everything they had talked about. Here she was telling him she cared for him and loved him, however she wasn’t being honest with him. She was the angel from the stories and the magic water was real. However if she loved him so much why couldn’t she be honest with him. He had spoke such kind words to her and was even willing to come see her before and after work and here she was lying to him. It honestly made Radiance feel terrible. Part of her knew it was for his protection. The other part of her knew it was for her own protection. If he knew what she was he would run. Very few humans were true to their word she had learned that the hard way. The sheriff and a few people here where exceptions. The Sheriff didn’t run from her but he also knew his place with her. Did she really love Kia if she couldn’t be honest with him about all things.

“Well lets get going.” Lex said as he looked to her and smiled. He walked to where she was as he held out his hand to her. He lead her out the door and locked it before opening the door to his truck for her. Once they where in he started up the truck and drove to the dinner to get the ice cream he promised her. “I thought we could go to the dinner for the ice cream. Nancy has the best food and ice cream. But if you would like I think there is a small ice cream shop we could go to. “

Jesse listened and nodded, "I promise we won't ever have to be alone again Radiant. I'm not going to leave you alone again. I...I don't like the thought of leaving you alone." Jesse admitted and blushed softly. Sometimes he would dream that something bad would happen to her if he didn't protect her and he really didn't want her to end up in the hospital again...or worse. His blush only got brighter when she wrapped her arms around his neck. He wrapped an arm around her waist and ran one hand through her long wavy hair gently as he thought about all that had happened. There was no doubt in his mind that he loved her, but he didn't think it would be smart to tell her he loved her. Not yet anyway.

It was probably too soon and the last thing he wanted to do was scare her away from him. If she left, well he'd be a wreck for weeks but he'd eventually have to try to move on right? Looking down at her he knew he didn't want to lose her. He had lost her once and he didn't want to go through that heartache again. The thought of losing her again was one that he couldn't bare. Jesse wrapped both arms around her and pulled her close to him in a loving hug, just holding her there and frowning. "I won't leave you alone Radiant." he whispered softly.

Faida smiled and took his hand and walked over to his truck. Taking her seat in his truck, Faida buckled up and smiled at him. "Oh I have missed Nancy and the food at the Dinner. We can go there. I always have enjoyed eating there." Faida answered happily. Lex really was a kind human, and she wondered what he would do if he found out that she and Radiance were angels. Would he run from her? Or would he run towards her? She wanted to know but at the same time she didn't want to be alone and she feared he would run away and leave her alone if he found out. "Soldier...c-can I ask you a question?" she asked nervously.

Radiance peered up at Kia as she stared at him in awe. She couldn't help but smile as she heard him. " I promise to never leave you alone neither." She said softly as she tried to put her fears aside and just enjoy the time with him. However deep in her heart she was torn. If she told him who and what she was she feared he would reject her because of her appearance. Unlike Faida and some of the other angels her appearance looked more monster than angel or human. But if there was someone looking for her and Faida then telling Kia and Lex would be putting them in greater danger. It would be better if there was a threat to keep the humans here safe. If the men wanted her and Faida then they should only face her and Faida. Telling the truth to Kia would put him in more danger along with Lex Faida and herself. If people where here to hunt her and Faida down then she and Faida should handle this matter themselves.

Radiance gently kissed Kia's cheek as she smiled at him. For now she would enjoy him. However it was time she and Faida had a long conversation with the two figures. Radiance knew of other angels like her and Faida and knew the humans they loved and trusted with their precious secret. She and Faida would need a few days to track them down and find out if any of them had people snooping around for them as well. However she knew her first priority would be to keep Kia and Lex safe. She would speak to the Sheriff on this matter along with Faida. He was the leader of the people here and the one she trusted with her life. It also meant that for now no one was safe to go to the shrine not until her and Faida found out more.

"Kia you need some rest. You haven't rested well either have you?" She asked as she smiled sweetly at him and started to sing. She sung one of the songs she used on children knowing it would make him relax and put him to sleep within moments. He needed rest and she needed to stop acting like a human. Radiance felt ashamed of herself as she sung disappointed that she had forgotten she wasn't human. She had forgotten that happy endings didn't find beings like her. She could wear her mask and pretend to be human but in the end she wasn't human. She could never be with Jesse like she longed for and it was stupid and naive of her to believe she could. If there truly was a threat then her selfishness of wanting to be human could get the very people she loved and cared for killed. Her selfish dream had to come to a end. Even if that meant she would use her power to make Jesse forget her. She still had some power in her songs. She couldn't make him forget her fully like some of the other angels but she could warp his memory and make him think she was a childhood friend. It was time for her to let him go. She could erase herself from his memory so he could move on and find a human mate. The thoughts that went through her mind made small tears fall from her eyes.

Radiance didn't wish to lose Jesse again but if it meant keeping him safe she would. For now she would hold him while he slept but when Faida got home. They needed to talk. If she had to she would erase Lex's memories of Faida and make Faida just a dear childhood friend for Lex. It would be past her ability to erase them completely from the men's memories. But she could change their memories of them so the two men wouldn't be in love with them. It was the less cruel of the options they had. She and Faida needed to stop this game they where playing. They could pretend to be human but they needed to be more careful and remember at the end of the day they weren't human. They needed to do their job and protect the humans instead of falling in love with them. She knew this would break Faida's heart but if it meant protecting Lex then Radiance knew just like herself Faida would endure the pain.

Lex turned his head as he heard Fida and flashed her a heart melting smile. " Of course my beautiful Queen. Though we are just about at the dinner so you need to think about what ice cream you would like. " He said smiling at her before turning his attention back to the road. He found them a parking spot not to far from the dinner and was impressed with how full the parking lot was for the dinner already. " Wow Nancy must be a busy lady today. I know she is the only dinner in town but this is busy even for her. Come on my Queen lets get inside and get our ice cream before anymore people show up." He said as he got out and open her door for her. " I'm thinking we can take ours to go. I'm not sure if there will be any seats with the crowed gathered here. I'm curious on why so many cars are here. I know Nancy is always busy but this is ridiculous. " Lex said as he gently took Faida's hand and smiled at her. " I better hold onto you. I wouldn't want to lose you to anyone in there. Your my Queen after all it's my job to protect you. Besides I don't share well. This is one soldier who isn't losing his Queen to anyone. " He said in a playful tone. However Lex meant what he said. Faida was special to him. He honestly hadn't felt this way about any girl before. He had liked other girls but they where no Faida. Faida was the only girl he knew he couldn't live without. She was special in so many ways. Faida had a light to her that touched everyone she came in contact with. He had saw it the first day he met her. Even after being beside her for so long he saw her light and all the lives it touched. She was a special person who could make people believe in hope and goodness. That was something he honestly loved about her.

Faida was one of the few people that no matter how stressed or worried he was, when he was with her his carries melted away. She made him forget everything that bothered him and made him want to be a better person. She was the only person that made the pain from losing his partner go away and gave him a purpose with his life. Up to meeting her he had lost his purpose. He had closed up his heart and started drinking. He was going down a dark path till she appeared to him in his darkness. She had fought with him and made him into a better person. Lex was well aware he owed Faida a great debt that he could never pay. " Faida I want you to know that I do care for you very much. I would go as far to say that I love you. I know I'm not the easiest person to be with or around. However you have managed to put up with me and even make me better than I was when you first met me. I want to thank you Faida from the bottom of my heart. If you hadn't appeared in my life when you did I'm afraid I wouldn't be standing here now. I was going down a dark path until you appeared like a beacon of hope for me. I had closed up my heart and started drinking. I had let my hate, anger, sadness, bitterness, and every other evil emotion take over my life and heart. It had gotten so bad that my drunk self was even telling me to stop because he was tired of me. I wanted vengeance so bad I didn't care what I had to do to get it. " He said hanging his head admitting his true intention of confronting the gangster at the club. "However you managed to change me. I'm sure to you, you don't see it that way. But trust me you did. I have never met a person like you my beautiful Queen. You where the person I needed to save me from the dark path I was travailing. You also gave me a purpose again for my life. I plan on spending the rest of my life trying to make you happy and smile my beautiful Faida." He said as he gently caressed her cheek with his free hand. He leaned in and kissed her softly. " So don't ever worry I will always be by your side. And I promise to punish anyone that dares to harm you. I love you Faida." He said softly in her ear so only she could hear. " Now what do you say we go get that ice cream before it's standing room only inside the dinner?"

Jesse smiled and kissed her forehead, "You don't know how happy it makes me to hear you say that Radiant." he whispered and continued to hold her in his arms, not wanting to let her go. He was glad that they were back together, he was a mess without her and he never realized that until she was gone.

Jesse blushed softly and nuzzled her cheek, "You make me so happy Radiant, don't ever believe otherwise." he whispered and held back a yawn, however it seemed she knew just how tired he was. "Well yes, it was difficult to get a good amount of sleep since I was worried sick about you, I really wanted to see you Radiant." he whispered and frowned. When she started singing though, his eyes widened for a moment before eventually closing as he fell to sleep with his arms around her lovingly.

He loved her, and he was going to have to tell her sooner rather than later. He just hoped it didn't scare her away. Even though he didn't want to sleep, sleep was a welcomed idea right now, he was exhausted.

Faida blushed when she saw his smile, it made her heart flutter as if it were a bird trying to get out of a cage. "W-well.." she started and frowned. "I-If you saw an angel. A real life angel in front of you, what would you do?" she asked. Faida didn't think it was an odd question but perhaps he would think so. "You do not have to answer if you do not wish to." she quickly added.

What sort of ice cream did she want? Faida pondered on this as she took Lex's hand and followed him into the dinner. Lex was right, poor Nancy was extremely busy trying to keep all the customers happy. "Oh my! It is quite busy today, I wonder why?" she said to no one in particular as she looked around at all the people talking and ordering their food. Hearing what Lex said about sharing made her smile. "Well that is very good to know, I will keep that in mind Soldier." she answered and remained close to him, she wasn't such a big fan of crowded places. She honestly wanted to leave as soon as possible.

Faida looked up at Lex when he started to speak and was slightly confused as to what he was talking about. "Oh Lex..." she started and smiled sadly. No not now, she didn't want to cry right now but he was being so sweet and it always triggered her emotions when he was like this. "Lex do not feel bad, you coped in the way you knew how and that is okay. I am not upset with you for behaving the way you did, we all behave differently in different situations and we should not be ashamed. I am very happy that I was able to be of help to you Lex." she answered and blushed brightly at the kiss and kissed him back sweetly. "And I shall always be by your side as well Lex." she answered and blushed as she fought back the tears in her eyes. "Y-Yes...w-we should get the ice cream." she agreed, trying to compose herself.

Radiance smiled as she watched Kia sleep. She held him close to her as she tried to enjoy the moment. However her mind raged battle with her feelings. She knew in the end her responsibility to protect would win out over her emotions and even her heart. Besides keeping Kia safe was very important to her. Radiance gently kissed his fore head as he slept holding on to him. She stared at the chair where a blanket lay as she motioned for the blanket to come to her a sudden gust of wind picked the blanket from the chair and flew it over to her where she put it around Kia as he slept. She kept her singing up knowing it would keep him asleep and give him the rest he needed.

Lex was surprised by Faida reaction as he wrapped his arms around her and just held her close for a moment or two. He then kissed her fore head as he took her hand and lead her to the dinner. He lead the way to the cash register witch was surprisingly clear. He thought about her question as he debated about telling her about the legends he had been reading into. " I'm not sure honestly about your angel question. But from what I know they don't make themselves always known. And if they do most humans are scared because angels are beings of great power. However angels always identify themselves and always tell humans not to fear. Most come with messages. So in all honesty I'm not sure. But for now lets get your ice cream. If we don't hurry I'll have to take you home soon. It's starting to get dark. "

Jesse continued to enjoy his sleep and stirred slightly when he felt some sort of movement but didn't wake up, he was fast asleep with his arms still around Radiance. His body had relaxed when the movement vanished though and his breathing let Radiance know that he was sleeping very peacefully.

"So you would run away..." she whispered to herself and nodded at what he said. He was right, it was getting pretty late and she wanted to check up on Radiance and talk to her. There was no way she could ever tell Lex the truth, especially not now that she knew he would run away. The thought that he would leave her side crushed her, but he had just said he would always stay by her side. Still, if he knew what she was, he'd break that promise in a heartbeat. "I would like strawberry Ice cream." she said softly and hugged Lex's arm affectionately. Faida loved this man, his company always made her feel safe although safety was never an issue. If she was ever in any danger she always knew how to handle it, but this was different. This felt more....special in a way.

Faida smiled at Nancy and then looked at Lex, nodding at what he said. Quietly, she followed him out to his truck and took her seat and held his ice cream while he drove her back to her house. When they arrived, she smiled at the sight of her pink house. She didn't think she'd ever get tired of seeing it. "Yes, it is a very good sign I agree." Faida agreed and carefully stepped out of the car, handed him back his ice cream and followed him inside the house. "I will not believe what? What is happening?" she asked and peaked inside the house, smiling at what she saw. "Oh my, how sweet." she whispered and looked at Radiance. "I am happy for you both and glad you were able to work things out peacefully." she commented politely before starting to eat her ice cream happily.

Radiance looked up as she heard the sound of a car pulling in. She turned as she heard the door open and couldn't help but smile as she heard Lex. His voice tented to carry as she shook her head softly still holding Jesse in her arms. She smiled at Faida as she came in looking better than she had earlier in the day. "There is food in the kitchen if you wanted some. I told you I was coming home and cook." She said to Faida as she smiled softly. " We both said we where sorry and sorry for hurting you both. So you don't have to worry about us anymore. If you could be quiet as you can Jesse is sleeping. I think he could use some sleep." She said as she smiled softly looking down at Jesse and smiling.

Lex looked at the pair as he smiled starting to eat on his ice cream. He just smiled as he looked at Jesse. "That's a happy guy right there. " He said due to the content look on his friends face. "Rest would be good for him really for all of us. And by the way you both owe Faida and I several friend dates! We get to pick what we do as a group and you two just get to smile and nod and pretend that you like it. " He said as he looked to Faida taking a seat on the other couch eating on his ice cream.

Faida giggled and nodded as she looked at Jesse then at Radiance. "Soldier is correct, we must go on many dates together and eat the pizza with the movies." she agreed. She wondered if the old Radiance was back, she didn't want to be with the one who ignored her, but she knew deep inside she could never be away from Radiance for long. She adored her friend and she was happy to see her here with Jesse asleep in her arms. "He must have been very tired, poor thing. I hope he gets plenty of rest." she said and sat beside Lex as she ate his ice cream. "How are you feeling Radiance?" she asked curiously.

Radiance looked to Faida as she smiled and laughed softly for the first time in a while feeling like her old self. " You two strike a hard bargain. But of course we must eat pizza with the movies!" She said as she smiled truly happy as she smiled warmly at Faida. " Faida I promise no more leaving you alone. I'm glad you have Soldier to make you happy! You two have always looked good together and are a great team together. " She said as she smiled warmly and looked back to Jesse still asleep in her arms. " Yes he is very tired. I hope he gets plenty of sleep as well." She said as she smiled and looked to Faida. " I feel much better. I almost feel like I woke from a fog. I am sorry for hurting you. I promise not to do so again." Raidance said meaning it. She kept her promises. "Lex what are you doing?" Radiance asked as she watched Lex get up and grab a sharpie from the desk. She wasn't sure what was on his mind but he had a evil grin on his face as he looked at Kia. " DON"T YOU COME NEAR MY KIA !!!" She said to Lex in a stern voice. However it didn't seem to phase Lex in the least. Before she could stop him Lex had the sharpie open and had already drawn a mustache on Kia's face.

Radiance froze as Lex suddenly started to draw on her face. She didn't understand what was going on as suddenly she felt something cold on her wrist. She jumped as something clicked looking down seeing she was now hand cuffed to Kia who slept. " Wha...." She didn't understand what was going on. However Lex just put his finger to her lips for her to hush as he returned the sharpie to the desk and took his seat beside Faida.


"Because you two where apart for sometime. I thought it would be a good punishment for you two, to have to spend some time together for a while. You committed crimes against each other and hurt the people you loved. Some time together would do your relationship good. " Lex said finishing up his ice cream as he looked back to Radiance and grinned at the heart he had drew on her cheek. "The heart on your cheek was just a distraction so I could cuff you. But Jesse's was a different story. I couldn't resist he out cold in your arms. He hasn't acted like my friend in a while. I miss him honestly. Just as Faida missed you. You are like Faida's sister and Jesse is like my brother. Besides the mustache fits him nicely. Now stay still while I get a picture of you two. This is so going in a picture frame at the house! Heck I might turn this into a mounted canvas and put this in the living room. " Lex said as he pulled out his phone taking a quick picture for a little bit of revenge.

Jesse slept for about fifteen more minutes before slowly waking up with a soft yawn and removing his glasses to rub his eyes in order to fully wake up. He noticed something cold on one of his wrists and quickly put his glasses before looking down to see his hand was cuffed! Following the cuff, he noticed he was cuffed to Radiance. "What?" he said to no one in particular and wondered if they did something bad. Looking around, he noticed Lex and Faida and narrowed his eyes. "Good one Lex, now remove the cuffs." he said seriously and wondered what sort of trick Lex was pulling.

Faida only watched and shook her head. "I do not think that Jesse will enjoy this little punishment. I do think it is a good idea though, but I do have a question Soldier." Faida said after finishing her icecream and looking at Lex. "How will they go to work?" she asked and looked over at Radiance, frowning. "You promise?" she asked and smiled sadly. "I have missed you Radiance, very much." she said and then frowned. She missed her friend and she thought that she had lost her for good.

"Not happening this is part of your punishment and you can thank Nancy for this. It was her idea. I just promised to deliver it. "Lex said as he looked to Faida and smiled. " Oh don't worry about that Radiance has the next two weeks off and so does Jesse. The hospital said Radiance earned it and Nancy said the same for Jesse. Oh and Jesse sister liked the idea of this as well. She said that you could spend the weekend with her and her family if you like. Honestly all of us where going to cuff you together and leave you in a house with no car till you guys worked everything out. But I'm glad we don't have to do that. Besides you need more rest and some time alone. If you don't like this punishment talk with your sister and Nancy. I'm under their orders." He said meaning it.

Radiance looked to Faida as she smiled. " I mean it Faida.' She said as she looked to Kia. " What? So for two weeks we are stuck like this? There could be issues with this. " Radiance said worried if one of them needed to shower or use the restroom. "I'd prefer to be left some where with Kia rather than hand cuffed. This is embarrassing. What if one of us needs to relieve ourselves or bath? " She asked a little worried with this idea. She looked down at the hand cuffs as she noticed the metal wasn't normal. " What kind of hand cuffs are these? " She asked as she looked to him.

"Punishment? Why?!" he asked, getting a bit upset. "This isn't funny so if this is some kind of sick joke none of us are laughing." he said and sighed. "I'd rather not talk to any of them thank-you very much. I don't need to get fired, and my sister is only being nice to me because I have a girlfriend. If I didn't, she wouldn't even care to see how I was doing." Jesse muttered. Listening to Radiance, she did have a point. It wasn't like he was just going to close his eyes, it would still be very uncomfortable for both of them.

"I believe you Radiance." Faida said and smiled before looking at Lex. "She is correct, what about privacy? We did not really think this through did we?" she asked and pouted as she tried to think of a solution. "If we uncuff them, I believe nothing will happen, they will insist on working. What if we go with the original idea. Leave them in a house and lock them in so that they cannot leave. Take the cars and come back after two weeks to check on them?" Faida suggested.

Lex looked to Jesse as he hung his head and sighed. " Fine don't get upset. You really can get over dramatic." he said as he got up and uncuffed the pair. He looked to Faida as he nodded agreeing with her. " Your not getting fired and I believe two weeks together will do you both good. I agree with Faida. So Radiance do you promise to keep Jesse safe if we leave you two in a cabin? I trust you Jesse isn't always so agreeable. Besides this is more of a mini vacation for you two. Neither one of you would go willingly even if it wasn't under these circumstances. Lex hoped that that Jesse didn't look in a mirror any time soon. "Well at lest one of them is back to their old selves. The other is still angry and ordinary.

Radiance looked to Kia as she gently put her hand on his shoulder happy herself that her hand was free." It's ok Kia calm down. Remember they are our friends and wouldn't to anything to harm us. " She said as she looked to Lex and Faida. " I promise to keep him safe. However we could just stay here. " She said softly. "It's nice to have friends and family that care about us as you do. Thank you for that. But maybe just asking us to go with you some where and taking us there would have been a better approach. Cuffing isn't a good idea unless you want a reaction like Kia gave you. You two should be aware of that more than anyone else."

Jesse shook his head. "Sorry, I'm just not used to being cuffed you know. It caught me by surprise and radiant has a point. We each need privacy and we can't get that if we're cuffed together." Jesse explained and sighed softly at what Radiance said. Looking at her, he noticed the heart on her cheek. "Did you draw that heart on your cheek Radiant?" he asked curiously. "I'm not mad at them, I'm just a cranky person when I wake up unless I drink some tea or coffee." he explained, hoping that they would believe him.

"We cuff people a lot, we are used to cuffing people right Soldier?" Faida asked and smiled at him. "I think we can leave them here. That means I will be staying with you for two weeks. It will be like a house swap. I will be able to see what it is like to live in your house and Jesse will be able to see what it is like living in this pink house." Faida explained and grinned happily.

"Why don't we let them choose witch house. Jesse might wish to go to his house. But switching houses might be a better idea." Lex said as he smiled at Faida. He said nothing as Jesse asked about the heart on Radiance face. Lex simply got up and excused himself to the kitchen as he fumbled around and managed to get some coffee going. He was sure that he needed it so Jesse wouldn't kill him. However he would take the wrath of Jesse the mustache was really awesome on him. " Don't worry I'm making you a pot." He said in a very friendly voice.

Radiance reached for her cheek as she shook her head. "No Lex did it that's how he got the cuffs on me. He started with you and I told him no not to draw on you." She said as she frowned not happy that she had failed to stop Lex. " I'm sorry I did try to stop him. But you look really cute now. However I'm not sure how to get sharpie off are you?" She asked as she smiled at him gently caressing his cheek softly. " I'm fine with being here if you are. And it's ok we understand." She said as she smiled hoping to ensurer him.

Jesse narrowed his eyes. "He drew on me?" he repeated and sighed softly. "No Radiant it's okay this isn't your fault. If Lex wants to start a little prank war I'll just have to get him back somehow." he said and held Radiance's hand. "It looks nice on you though. To remove sharpie you just need hot water and soap. It will take a while to come off but just washing it and it will come off eventually." he answered softly. It would be annoying to remove but it was possible.

Faida nodded in agreement, it would help them spend time together and get to know one another better. That, and she would be able to spend more time with Lex then. She would miss being with Radiance but this punishment was for their own good. They needed to clear up any doubts they had and this would also help them see just how much they truly cared about each other. "Are there any rules to this?" she asked Lex as he walked away to the kitchen.

Radiance smiled as she gently put her hand on Kia's shoulder. " Please don't do a prank war. Besides I love your new feature. Besides you need to get some rest. " She said worried about Kia as she looked over at Faida. " Would it be ok if we get clothes and things from Jessie's house for him? Or are you and Lex going to bring it over? " She asked knowing that they had no choice but to stay. She looked looked to Jesse as she smiled softly. " Clam down please. Lex is making you coffee to make up for his wrong doing. Why not making him pay you back in doing a choir or something? Why not make him bring you coffee from Nancy everyday we are stuck here." She suggested trying to keep Jesse out of another fight. Radiance smiled as she thought about what Kia had said about her heart. Maybe she would keep it for a while. She honestly didn't look forward to scrubbing her face.

Lex peered out from the safety of the kitchen hearing Faida speak. " Yes they can't use any cars and can't go to work. They are stuck here for the next two weeks. And they have to go on any dates we want. Also Jesse has to make dinner for them at lest twice and Radiance has to cook at least twice along with baking. They have to do something nice for each other they can buy and decorate and even leave on the condition it's for a date or to do something sweet for one another. " Lex said as he came out with a large cup of coffee for Jesse.

Jesse raised an eyebrow. "What exactly did he draw on me?" he asked. He wasn't going to prank Lex, he wasn't creative enough to pull off a good prank, and he had other things to do like clean and pay more attention to Radiance so he couldn't be wasting time on silly pranks. "I'll behave Radiant, I promise." he said to her and thought about what she said. He didn't want Lex spending his money on him though. When Lex arrived with his coffee, Jesse smiled. "Thank-you very much Lex." he said and softly blew at his coffee to cool it down a bit before taking a small sip happily and relaxing further on the couch. Rest? Well he could go back to sleep if that's what Radiance truly wanted.

Faida listened to Radiance and smiled. "I think we can go get him some clothing for him. You heard the rules. You must be kind to each other and cook for each other. Do kind things for one another and you are not allowed to leave the house for any reason unless it is to go on a date. This punishment will test just how much you both care for each other." Faida explained and looked at Lex. "We need to bring Jesse some clothing for him to wear." she informed quietly.

Radiance smiled as she heard Kia. " Thank you Kia. Why don't you make a list of things you would like unless your tired we could do it tomorrow." Radiance said as she kicked of her heels and curled up beside Kia on the couch indulging herself trying to forget about her ideas from earlier. She smiled happily as she wrapped her arms around Kia's waist and rested her head on his shoulder as she smiled. She was content just laying there with Kia like this.

Lex nodded as he smiled. " I can handle that. And I believe I can handle coffee to make up for my drawing. " Lex said as he looked to Faida and smiled taking his seat beside her. " So what shall we do now? You should think of a few group dates my Queen. Something that would make you happy to do." He said knowing that Faida had been the most hurt and needed the group dates more than anything.

Jesse ran his fingers through her hair softly while drinking his coffee. "A list.." he repeated and knew it was a good idea. "Well for right now some clothes is all I need. I do think we all need to get some sleep though..." he answered softly and looked at Lex. "I agree with you. We should plan more group dates, those were always fun. Oh, and if you're going to be staying at the house Faida, I'm not sure my room is exactly fit to be slept in right now. I need to clean it as soon as possible so you'll have to share Lex's room." he said and chuckled, knowing that wasn't going to be a big problem since they obviously, liked each other.

Faida listened to Jesse and nodded before looking at Lex. "Soldier are you okay with what Jesse has stated?" she asked and thought for a moment. "We should go on the dates of groups sometime soon, they are always a lot of fun!" she exclaimed happily. Faida loved the drive in movie dates with the others, everyone always seemed to enjoy themselves and it was always fun spending time with their friends.
