Sparky Repairs, Sunday

Feeling badly for missing the last two Sundays here at work, the twins made sure they came to open shop-not that anyone ever really came by anyway.

Today, however, was a day to rock out to some MSI. Between bouts of homework, they blasted the music through the shop, bouncing off the counters and some shelves.

Sparky's is open~

After spending some ~~handwavey?~~ time with Ranma in the room after the fiasco with the cat at breakfast, Setsuna noticed the twins being absent from the room and realized that they were probably at work. Ranma confirmed this and, after a bit of consideration, figured this would be a good time to approach them with a Very Important Issue.

She grinned a little at the music. "I'm not interupting anything, am I?" she asked.

Both looked up when she came into the shop, "How could you?! We're head banging over here!" Each wore a grin as they mock scolded her.

Hikaru gave one final toss to his head, his hair completely disheveled, and went to turn down the music. "What brings you by?"

Setsuna realized suddenly that it felt like a while since the two of them had said so much all together like that, and it took her back of a moment, shaking her head before she continued.

"I have a mission for you," she said, intenting to encompass the both of them, but her attentions found themselves diverted particularly to Hikaru, without realizing it. He was the one she was scouting, after all, the one she knew to have the knack for this sort of thing.

"A mission? What kind?" There was a definate lighting up in both their eyes at the suggestion, although upon closer inspection, Hikaru was probably quite a bit more excited, especially since she was looking more towards him.

[[dinner...]]

"It shouldn't be difficult," Setsuna said, suddenly adopting a serious tone, "but it will be very important. This Wednesday, it's crucial for you guys to do me a favour by keeping Ranma occupied for most of the day until evening and, above all else, keep him off the fourth floor." Her eyes darted from one to the other. "Do you think you can do that for me?"

[[ no problem; I'm disappearing for work soon, anyway ((boooooooo)) ]]

"Totally, Captain!" They salute her formally, smirks on their faces. Yes, they were quite aware of the day she was asking about, it was only a matter of time before they asked why.

Setsuna was well aware of those smirks on their faces and she gave them a warning look. "And you're to give no indication of why he's being detained in such a manner, understood?"

Not that she even had the slightest inclination that Ranma would be perceptive enough to clue in, of course, but she couldn't trust the twins not to goad him into thinking that something might be up.

"Of course, but what exactly is that reason?" Hikaru asked, leaning back against the front counter.

Setsuna blinked at him. "Well, it'll be Valentine's Day. Isn't the reason obvious? I want to make him some really special honmei-choco, but I want it to be a complete surprise. Which also means I'd really appriciate it if you two could find somewhere else to be that evening, as well. And, uh..." Her very stern disposition was faltering into quiet, bashful blushing, "if, uh, maybe you wouldn't mind me staying over that night...." She cleared her throat a little.

"Exactly why we wanted to know." They wagged their fingers at her. They wanted to be warned every chance they got. Plus, 'keep him busy' did not automatically connotate 'I'm staying over for the night'. Duh.

[[*serious slaughter of the gmail*]]

Again, it was Valentine's Day, her first one ever actually celebrating it with someone else. Setsuna figured the staying over for the night part went without saying, as well.

"...So...you guys are...okay with that?"

[[ *stabinate* ]]

They wave their hands dismissively at her. "If you're worried, we could camp out in the common room or something. Avoid the alarm clock." Kaoru suggested, the idea of camping and making a fort in the common room kinda fun.

Setsuna was two seconds away from insisting in a very assertive way that they shouldn't have to feel put out at all and that it wouldn't really be necissary when her opened mouth was snapped immediately shut by a striking thought. When was the last time she and Ranma had every really had time alone together? Without having to worry about roommate or impending cat doom? When would they have a chance to have it again? Blinking a few times, a red blush indicative of her thoughts, she stammered, "I...if you guys wouldn't miiiind..."

"Whatever." Both shrugged a bit dully. Hikaru held back the urge to say 'you owe us', allowing their offer to be their own sort of gift to her.

"Really?" Setsuna's shoulders straightened; there may have been a bit of bouncing on her toes before, excitedly, she beamed. Since she couldn't very well hug both of them at once, she just hugged the twin closest to her. "Arigato! You two are the best!"

She made a mental note to definately up the quality of their giri-choco.

Kaoru chuckled a little at the sudden hug. "We'll keep him in his natural state of oblivion."

"See? It's not like I asked something of you guys that was difficult."

Setsuna felt a little bad for the stab, but, really, it was true. And that obliviousness was sometimes what really endeared Ranma to her, anyway.

"Very true." They both smirked. In a lot of ways, they could see Ranma not even knowing anything about the day at all. Which would make it even easier, really, but probably not all that probable.

Setsuna drew in another long, relieved, happy sort of breath before shrugging a little, beaming a little. "I guess I'll let you guys get back to work, then," she said. "Thank you again. So much..."

"Yeah, yeah, at least now we can get back to our rockin out, eh Kaoru?" Hikaru grinned, going over to the stero to turn it up again. Talking to her had been 'work', so now they were fully entitled to another break!
