Love Potions.

They’ve been used countless upon countless times to win over the hearts of the members of the Departments. All of them which had been accidently affected for those said members to go after their poor bosses. But tonight…

Well, tonight's the night where all hell breaks loose.

And the fault is of another stupid attempt to drug one of the drinks.

Let me explain.

*****

(February 14th, Trinity Department Parlor)

Kitari/Sailor: “Now this is just stupid.”

Karno: “Oh, lighten up, Kitari, you look stunning. Doesn’t she, Leon?”

Leon: “Hm? You’re asking my advice?”

Kitari: “Nah, I am not getting any response from the tease-butt lion.”

Leon: “Excuse me?”

Ichthys: “Yeah! Yeah! Ain’t Sailor pretty, Scorpio?!”

Scorpio: “Why the freak you asking me!?”

Sailor: “Heck, I don’t wanna know!”

Scorpio: “H-Hey…”

Kitari and Sailor were presented with special Valentines Day dresses. They were flowy, like their usual uniform coats. In addition to the Department theme, there were flushes of pink and red with a mute sparkle. The ribbon work and layers of fabric made them almost like wedding dresses. The dressmakers of the palace really were pushing this. Adjusting their regular crowns on their heads, careful not to mess up their hair or whatever, they follow their members out of the parlor.

Kitari: “I’m glad they gave us flats. Easier to walk in.”

Sailor: “Yeah, and they didn’t have us wear the birdcage thing.”

Kitari: “...yet.”

Teorus: “Do you know who you’re gonna dance with?”

Kitari: “Dance? As in ballroom dance? Nah, no way, no can do.”

Leon: “Oh, please, the Wishes Queen should be able to do ONE dance.”

Kitari: “Heck, the only dance I’ve done...when was that? When I was in college?”

Sailor: “Oh, I remember that! When you had to that one tango thing with Aurum? That was so hilarious, especially since you two turned it into a sparta!”

Partheno: “How can you turn ballroom dancing into sparta?”

Kitari: “Hmph.”

Sailor/Kitari: “Stomp, don’t glide. Get faster every five seconds. Before you know it, it’s turned into deer ramming.”

Tauxolouve: “Deer ramming? Oh my.”

Kitari: “...I think I might’ve broke his foot.”

Sailor: “You DID.”

Kitari: “Glory, did I…?”

Leon: “...Curious, who’s this Aurum human?”

Karno: “...Leon?”

Once they had stepped foot into the ballroom, everyone’s head swiveled toward them. Obviously, all the goddesses scowled menacingly when they saw Kitari and Sailor. Those two just sighed and mentally rolled their eyes. Their members had been pulled away by flocks of women which just left men to go over to the small group of queens.
