"Brothers?" Estarossa called. He was wandering about the castle looking for Zeldris and Meliodas who had mysteriously disappeared. "Hello? Anyone?"

"Esta?" Lia suddenly appeared from around the corridor, rubbing her eyes sleepily. Estarossa had forgotten it was only eight o'clock, and Lia hadn't slept much.

"Yes, Lia?" He replied, picking up the sleepy princess.

"Where you going?"

"I'm looking for your brothers." Estarossa answered.

"Oh... Wait I know where they are!" Lia grinned sleepily. "The training field. I saw them from my bedroom."

"Alright. Thank you, little princess. Let's get you back to bed, hmm?" Estarossa grinned. Lia just nodded and flopped against Estarossa's chest.

He carried Lia back to her black and pink room, an odd yet nice assortment of colour, Estarossa thought, and put her to bed.

He then flew to the training field and saw Zeldris in combat with Meliodas. Landing, he saw that Zeldris and Meliodas were paired up, fighting against Galand and Melascula.

Estarossa watched from the sidelines as Meliodas and Zeldris tore everyone to shreds. After the battle ended, Meliodas and Zeldris walked towards Estarossa.

"So, how long was that fight going on brothers?" Estarossa grinned.

"Only a few minutes before you arrived." Meliodas answered, smirking. "Quite weak. They are out of shape since the peace treaty."

"Yes, well, I got letters!" Estarossa yelled happily.

Blank stares.

"What? You know, the festival on in Balance Point, to celebrate the 50 year treaty with the other clans? Well, apparently, everyone wants to meet on the field at lunch time." Estarossa stated. "Meliodas, you're supposed to wear something red, Zeldris just skip the ties, you never liked them anyway and wear a white shirt, and Lia can come as well."

"Hey!" Meliodas snatched the letter and showed it to Zeldris. "Do I even own red?"

"Tons of it." Zeldris answered. "Well, if I'm getting out of a tie, I'll wear a white shirt. Hey Mel, do you have a white shirt I can borrow? Mine are ripped."

"Sure, I'll get it in a minute-"

"Hey!" Estarossa crossed his arms. "I want to join in the brotherly bonding. It's like I'm not even here."

They glanced up at him, raising an eyebrow. The two could be twins, despite the age difference.

"Well, too bad. You're too tall. And besides, you always have Lia!" Meliodas grinned slyly.

At hat moment Lia decided to show up, still in her nightdress, jumping up onto Estarossa's back. "Hi!"

"Single for life..." Estarossa muttered dramatically, walking back to the castle.

"He has some acceptance issues..." Zeldris chuckled.

So, at lunchtime, everyone met at the field. They just looked everyone over, looking at the outfits.

Ban was in the usual, but this time the leather was black and he had a shirt on. Elaine wore a flowing white dress.

Diane wore a pink dress with white buttons, and King wore his usual, not getting the fancy dress part. But he did comb his hair, so it counts.

Elizabeth wore a blood red dress coming down to her mid calfs, while Meliodas wore a shirt and red tie, with a black waistcoat.

Gelda was in a short white dress, with long lace sleeves and Zeldris wore a crisp white shirt, and, luckily for him, he did not need to wear a tie.
