Topaz looked down, tears continuing to fall down her cheeks. "I don't wanna continue being the problem for you all! First the Mana Amplification and my Mana Storm now you're just hiding things from me"Topaz says. "N-Not to mention Spica, you started to sweat when you saw her"Arcturus mutters Spica looking at him. Spica looked back at Topaz, his eyes widening when he saw the first life Topaz for a split second. "Deja Vu, Spica"Sirius asks. Spica glanced at Sirius, feeling as if his mouth was drying up. "It's nothing, Topaz." She looked up, Spica wiping her tears away. "I promise I won't keep any secrets from you, starting today, and if I did have one right now and it involves you, I'd tell you"Spica promises. She stared at him, then nodded and looked down.

"Arcturus, how could you let Topaz come out by herself and forget your obligations at the banquet"Spica scolded. Topaz looked up, her gaze on Arcturus. "Sorry, I was looking forward to this day for weeks and...I just came across Topaz as well..."Arcturus says. "Hm, it must be cause there without a host, maybe we shouldn't be keeping you here for so long and besides, what a debutante without the star of it all"Sirius says his eyes turning green. Topaz pinched him, Spica smirking when Sirius jumped in alarm. Topaz grabbed his sleeve, forcing him to stay still. "What"Sirius blinked. She stepped closer to him, smoothing her hands over his chest before stopping, frowning as she fiddled witn something. "Topaz?"Arcturus says stepping closer.

"He has a loose string on his clothing, I spotted it when I stepped out"Topaz says. Sirius stared down at her, his eyes widening in surprise as he watched. Topaz tied the two split strings together, making a little bow out of it, a slight smile on her face. "You seem to care about the banquet"Topaz mutters as she fell around for anything else out of place. "I can't say I can't...in fact, this particular banquet means a lot to me"Sirius chuckled his eyes turning yellow. "I'd like to hear what Arcturus has to say about his negligence"Sirius says. She glared up at him, then tossed his tie at his face. "Fix yourself up"Topaz says turning away. Spica snorted, a little smile on his face. "Okay, okay, I'm sorry, I won't pick on Arcky anymore, I promise, just finish"Sirius sighed.

She held her hand out, Sirius handing her the tie. "Lean down"Topaz orders. "Well actually, I forgot something I was supposed to bring to the banquet, I came back to get it then I found Topaz and then you two"Arcturus explains nervously. Topaz glanced at him as she finished Sirius's tie. "That's enough for now, Arcturus, I shall take care of this, I advise you to hurry along, you as well Topaz"Spica says. Topaz flinched in surprise, Sirius pressing a kiss to her forehead. He pressed another to her cheek, causing her face to turn red. Arcturus stepped away from Spica, sweating a little when he felt the blazing fury of a protective brother waving off him. Spica cut Sirius off, placing a hand over Topaz's mouth and pulled her away. "You're no fun"Sirius chuckled.

"I'll come dance with you later Topaz, careful not to get caught up in this mess again"Spica says. "..alright, what he said, cya Arcturus, bye Topaz"Sirius chuckled his eyes yellow. Sirius pressed a quick kiss to her lips, dodging Spica's slap to the head. Topaz stared in shock, then fell to her knees. "Toto!"Arcturus says surprised. She opened her mouth, something colorful dropping out. "Woah, what's that"Arcturus says amazed. Topaz held it up, staring in amazement. "A rainbow moonstone...I used to collect these back home"Topaz mutters. "How.."Arcturus says. Topaz blushed, her face turning red. "Sirius slipped it into my mouth"Topaz says embarrassed. Arcturus stared at her, his eyes wide in alarm, realizing why Sirius kissed her at that moment.

"THAT JERK! HE COULD'VE HANDED IT TO ME!"Topaz yells. "I mean, it's Sirius we're talking about you know"Arcturus says helping her up. She stared at the rainbow moonstone, feeling her heart speed up. She still remembered vividly how Sirius told her that they were on the next level with each other, which always made her wonder how she really fell for him and how he fell for her. She sighed, seeing one of the reasons why he captured her heart in the last two lives. "Topaz, wanna come to central hall with me?"Arcturus asks. "Oh sure, that souhds nice, a little more time away from dsncing could do me some good"Topaz says turning to him. She smiled as Arcturus beamed, following him unaware of the moonstone changing colors in her hand.
