A/N: Yeah, it’s 2207 in this story; a couple months after Akira and Ryou have been adopted.

It was night time. Both Akira and Ryou were asleep and Invidia sat on the couch cuddling with Arty.

“Arty…” She whispered.

“What?” Arty looked at her, she was so adorable cuddling up to him…

“Arty…” She said again.

“Okay, what do you want?”

“Well…Akira and Ryou are asleep…and…”

“And?”

“A while ago you promised me that we’d…do some stuff.” Invidia whispered.

“I…Well I…”

“Shush…” Invidia placed her finger over his lips. “Don’t talk, just… kiss me” Invidia whispered in a gentle voice. Then, their lips met, and they shared a long, deep kiss.

After they were done Invidia got up and sat in the middle of the floor. “Come here…” she said.

“Now? Right here?”

Invidia nodded. “Come on….It’s fun and you did promise…”

Arty smiled at her and went over. They kissed and he slipped his hand behind her back as he began to unzip her dress.

“Arty…You…” Invidia stuttered as her heartbeat sped up.

“Why do you sound so surprised? You know I keep my promises…” Arty whispered.

“And I’m damn glad you do! Now do me a favor…”

“Huh?”

“Make me naked.” Invidia hissed.

“Of course Princes….” He whispered. Then he kissed her and began to work her out of her dress.

Meanwhile something else was going on in Akira’s room. She was up.

“What a strange dream…” She whispered as she rubbed her eyes. She didn’t normally have bad dreams but when she did it scared her.

-Akira-

I blinked and looked around, making sure that I was in my bedroom. I just had a really bad dream…They took me back to the academy, and Invidia-Mama did nothing. This is my biggest fear. Invidia-Mama and Daddy keep telling me that it’ll never happen but it still worries me.

‘Should I talk to them?’ I sighed and sat in bed thinking for a bit. ‘I have too…I want my Invidia-Mama!’ I thought as I got out of bed and started crying a bit. I walked out and down the hall into her room.

“Invidia-Mama?” I whispered as I walked in, the room was empty. I climbed on the bed and sat for a minute. ‘Where are they? I thought Invidia-Mama said it was bedtime!’ I crossed my arms. ‘It’s no fair! How come I have to go to bed and they don’t?’ I got off the bed.

‘Where are they?’ I asked myself as I headed down the hall, as I came closer to the living I heard these weird sounds…it sounded like Invidia-Mama. ‘What’s going on…?’ I came to the end of Hallway and my eyes widened; I stood halfway in the hall trying to figure out what was going on. I didn’t get what was going on but it was weird…

Invidia-Mama and Dad were on the floor together, their clothes were thrown to the side leaving them both naked, and Dad was on top of her doing something really weird to her neck and she was moaning…

‘Is he hurting her..?’ It almost seemed like it, but Invidia-Mama’s moans didn’t sound anything like the whining she usually did when she was hurt. In fact it sounded like…well…like she liked it!

‘And what’s he doing to her neck anyway?’ I watched for another minute before going back down the hall it was getting too weird for me to understand. I decided to ask them later, then again if I was supposed to be asleep they probably didn’t want me to know about it. But why? I pondered for a minute; come to think of it I didn’t know why they were on the floor either… Then it came to me. ‘Maybe it was a floor show! Yeah that’s it…but I probably shouldn’t tell anyone…If they wanted me in bed then it must be a thing that adults do alone.’ They’re weird…

-Later: Iscandar-

About two weeks later the Argo landed on Iscandar, it wasn’t a mission, just a visit. When they got there Akira considered asking Astra if her parents had floor shows, she figured that since Astra was older she might have known but she ruled against it.

So for now she just sat in her guest room pondering.

“Akira…”

“Huh?” I looked over to the side as Invidia came in.

“What are you thinking about?” She sat on the bed and looked at her.

“Nothing.”

“Well Astra’s been looking for you she said she wants to show us something.” Invidia told her. ‘I’m not sure why though; little kids never say anything of value!’

“What is it?’ Akira asked.

Invidia shrugged. “Just come on.” She said as she picked Akira up.

Invidia carried her downstairs and into one of the dens where Starsha, Alex, Derek, Nova and Arty were sitting.

“Where’s Astra?” Akira asked.

“She’s getting something.” Starsha said. “She told us to meet her here for some reason.”

Invidia put Akira down. “And knowing her it’ll be something weird.”

“Hey! My daughter is not weird!” Alex snapped.

“Whatever…” Invidia waved her hand, walked over to where Arty was sitting and sat in his lap.

“Invidia you can’t sit on me…” He told her.

“Oh, come on I’m warm and cuddly… How can you resist me?” she looked at him with her ‘Sad Eyes.’ For some reason Arty still hadn’t figured out that Invidia sometimes used it for attention but she was okay with it, as long as she got some love.

“Aw, you are so cute!” He hugged her just as Astra came in.

“I’m here!” she said.

“Was that really necessary?” Invidia asked.

Astra ignored her and walked into the middle of the room.

“So, why are we here Honey?” Starsha asked.

“I decided that I want to hold an Art show!”

‘This outta be good…’Invidia thought, she had seen little kids’ art and it wasn’t that good, but they were always proud of it. It annoyed her a lot, even though when she was little she did the same thing.

Starsha smiled at her. “Okay, show us your pictures, Honey.”

“All right…” Astra sieved through some papers and picked up a piece of paper. On it was some kind of gray blob with a red line at the bottom. “This is the Argo!” She said.

“That’s nice Honey.” Starsha said.

“It looks almost like it.” Derek complimented.

Astra smiled and picked up another one, this one looked a little better. It was a tall building with a light blue tint to it, what looked like grass and water was underneath it. “And this is the Palace.”

“Aw, it’s…Cute.” Nova said.

Astra put it down and picked up another one, this one was A LOT different than the other two. “I call this one ‘Daddy cheering up Mommy in the only way he can!’” she said happily.

Starsha and Alex looked at Each other as everyone’s eyes widened a bit.

“We’ll buy that one now!” Starsha and Alex said at the same time as Starsha grabbed the picture and sat on it.

Akira looked up at her parents then Astra. “You know I’m not sure that it’s very cheery, my parents do that too and Invidia-Mama makes these weird moaning noises.”

Invidia’s eyes widened. “How do you know that?!” she asked. There was no way Akira knew something like that! Not even her Father knew it!

Akira looked at her. “I saw a Floor show!” She finally admitted.

“You… You know…” Invidia fell backwards and off of Arty.

Everyone looked at her.

“Arty check and see if she’s dead.” Derek said.

Arty leaned over and held up her hand “You dead yet?”

“I wish…”

Akira went over and looked at her “Invidia-Mama’s blushing…”

Invidia sat up. “Of course I am! You just revealed the biggest secret in the world!”

“Invidia, it’s not that big.” Arty said. “They already know…”

“You told them that we play around outside of bed?!”

“No, you just did.”

Invidia looked at everyone “I…Uh…ignore that!”

“Oh come on, it’s not like you’re the only one who does…” Nova whispered.

Derek nudged her. “Nova…”

“What? I’m not gonna lie…” She whispered to him.

“Oh, so you both admit that you’re bad girls…” Starsha said.

“So are you…” Alex teased.

“Alex!” Starsha blushed. “Why’d you have to tell them that?!”

“You set me up…”

Invidia laughed. “So, I’m not the only bad one huh?”

“No, but you’re the prettiest one.” Arty whispered so that only Invidia heard him.

“I know…” Invidia hugged him. “I love you!”

“I know” Arty kissed her cheek.

“You two are so cute…” Nova sighed.

“That’s why I married her.” Arty smiled at her and they kissed.

“Gross…” Akira said.

“It’s not gross! It’s love!” Invidia told her. ‘Sweet passionate love…’ She sat down and laid her head on Arty’s leg. She didn’t care what they knew anymore…she just wanted love.

Arty placed his hand on her head and she began to fall asleep as everyone else left. He let her stay for a bit, it was cute and he just wanted her around, she was so warm…He kissed her head. “I love you…” he whispered. ‘For now and for always…’
