Dream
That night Mu Qing had the same dream with the little girl and the card men.
They were now laying their faces on the ground.

Kneeling before the hideous queen who was steaming mad. "Who's been painting my red?" She demanded.

She lifted the rose bush with her hand, Mu Qing was surprised by her strength. "WHO HAS BEEN PAINTING MY ROSES RED?!!" She stomped closer, "who dares to paint, the putrid paint, the royal flower bed?!"

Mu Qing sighed, "I'd probably scold my troops if they did something like this too...but this woman is extreme..." How spoiled rotten was she as a child?

"For painting my roses red...someone will lose his head!" She threw the rose bush away.

One of the card men pleaded, "no, your majesty, please it's all his fault!"

"No, not me the Ace, the Ace!" The queen sneered down at the Ace, "you?"

"Not me, the Deuce of spades!" He pointed to them at one. "The Deuce, you say?" She demanded.

"Not me the Three-!" He was about to point out when the Queen had enough, "silence!! OFF WITH THEIR HEADS!!" She bellowed. Cheers were heard as she began to smile in glee at the praise.

Mu Qing was glaring at the whole thing... "I wish I could rip through this damn vision so I could kill her myself..heaven be damned..."

End of dream

Mu Qing woke up, "how cowardly are her men to not stand up to her..."

For some reason, he felt like something was pulling him down. He also heard some muffled...yelling? He looked down to Grim beneath his arm, his face smooshed by his side. He gently removed Grim from him, "Bèn Māo? How are you squished there?"

Grim gasped for air, "I've been almost suffocated by your shirt for five minutes because that moron decided to cuddle up!"

No wonder he felt being pulled down. He turned around to see a familiar ginger-haired boy, his arm around his waist, "Tíaoqíng, you flirty bastard!!!" He screamed.

"Don't cha think it's rude to yell at people when they're sleeping, Qing-chan?" Soon Cater was pouting and was kneeling on his knees with Mu Qing glaring down at him, "Anyone with a brain who react that way I did if they saw a moron sleeping without admittance next to them!"

Cater grinned, "you just looked so cozy, but I began to feel sleepy and you felt like a warm blanket..." he giggled at Mu Qing's blush, "then I call it an invasion of privacy! You do that once more without my permission, you'll never be allowed in here again!" He folded his arms.
Cater smirked, "so all I have to do is ask, you say?~"

Mu Qing gritted his teeth, "let's get this apology thing over with! Hēi Tào and Xīn-xing since you're up already."

Cater smiled before the door was opened, "Damn you. Cater!" Deuce and Ace glowered at the older boy. They were dripping wet. "He poured cold water on us! How'd you get here so fast?" They yelled in unison.

Cater smiled, "just checking up on Qing~chan is all..." then he left for downstairs.

Mu Qing sighed, "let's go get ready. And Xīn-xing-"

"Yeah I know, let it teach me a lesson about asking for permission. You told me twice last night before we all went to sleep." Ace heaved a wary sigh.

Mu Qing nodded, "what tart are you planning to give Riddle anyway?"
