A motionless Usagi lay on her bed, her eyes having slight dark circles under them. Without warning, she shot bolt upright, eyes flashing open as a mischievous grin blossomed over the entirety of her features.

While making whooping cries she dashed out of bed and to her door, flinging it open before sprinting down the hall and skidding to a stop before the sharp turn off into the living area, then thundering over to where Killua slept in the couch.

Stifling laughter she crouched down to be eye level with him, and cautiously poked his cheek once, twice; he groaned slightly as he opened his eyes slowly.

"KILLUA!!" she practically screamed, her voice ecstatic. "FIFTEEN. FIFTEEN."

"What?" he asked groggily.

"FIF–TEEEEEEEN," Usagi repeated, enunciating each syllable.

"And why?" Killua asked again, his face contorted into a look of confusion.

Beginning to look disappointed, Usagi asked, "you don't remember?"

They held a serious gaze for what felt like ages before Killua began laughing at her confusion. "Are you kidding? How could I not– I've known you for three years."

Usagi opened her mouth to speak but was cut off by a second door being slammed open as a tiny voice called out, "FIIIIFTEEEEEEEEEN!!!!" as Alluka bounded down the hall before jumping onto Usagi in the living room.

"Fifteen!! Fifteen!! Fifteen!!" the two shouted in unison as Killua looked on.

"Why are we saying that?" Alluka stopped to ask.

"Because," Usagi started, putting an arm around Alluka's shoulder before gesturing out into space. "I am fifteen today."

Gasping loudly, Alluka gazed at her in awe as Killua merely looked away.

"Awe, Killua doesn't like being younger~" Usagi teased in a weird voice.

"Shut up," he stated, looking away as he grew flustered before standing. "Oi, what time is it?" Killua asked with a stern voice, eyes closed.

"Um," Usagi thought, placing a finger on her chin before standing up and dashing into the kitchenette. "10:30!" she hollered.

"Geez, okay, we have time," Killua said, half to himself.

"Time until...?" Usagi urged, walking up to him.

"Until Cheadle speaks at the opening ceremony," he stated. "It starts at six."

"Pssh, that's a lot of time!" Usagi told him, placing her hands on her hips as she looked up at him. "Honestly, the way you said that kinda made it sound as though you had something planned~" she cooed.

"I thought that much was obvious," he admitted, looking down towards her; a tiny smile began to appear on his features.

"What?" she asked, squinting up at him.

Before he could stop himself Killua had quickly wrapped his arms around her and lifted her up close against him as he spun around in circles. "You're so tiinnyyyyyyyy!!!" Killua exclaimed, his face resting on her shoulder as they spun.

"H-hey!!" Usagi let out, flustered. "I am the epitome of all evil!! Fear me!!"

"Noooo you're the epitome of adorable!" Killua replied before he reminded himself that Alluka was in the room. Stopping his spinning, he placed Usagi on the ground, and she immediately punched his arm, albeit very lightly, as she attempted to hide her face in her hands.

Looking over at Alluka, Killua saw she had large eyes and slightly parted lips. "Onii-chan," she breathed. "You..."

They braced themselves for her response.
