Soon after laying down on the couch, Adryn drifted off to sleep. However, no sooner than that, Nova entered the room, causing Adryn to wake up instantly. Adryn opened her eyes and stared up at Nova, who'd jolted backward with surprise.

"Oh, I'm sorry for waking you," Nova said quickly, worried that Adryn might be upset, but she was wrong. Adryn just sat up and yawned before responding.

"It's alright. I honestly shouldn't be sleeping yet anyway."

"I heard from Eclipse that you guys are heading to that idol club tomorrow. Do you know what you're going to be wearing?"

"Huh? Oh, uh, no, I haven't even thought about it. I'll probably just wear a tank top and some pants like usual or something like that." Adryn could feel the headache still there, but it was lessening now. It seemed like lying down for those few moments helped a little bit.

"Um, no. that isn't happening. Let's go. Get up!" Nova then literally pulled Adryn from the couch and dragged her through the mansion and to Adryn's room. All the while being dragged, Adryn wondered what Nova was going to be doing to her. She was a little worried about what Nova planned now. However, once they got to Adryn's room, Nova and Adryn began to go through Adryn's closet full of clothes. Well, the closet was full of clothes but to be more specific, they were either tank tops or some form of pants. There were a few pairs of shorts and maybe a skirt here and there, but there were no real feminine outfits there.

"Huh, I guess I really will be wearing my usual stuff," Adryn commented as she sat down on her bed to rest a moment. It was exhausting going through her clothes with Nova.

"Hell no Adryn. We'll need to go out then and get you something. You've got to wear something fancy, you know Eclipse will be so you gotta too!"

"You know what, I think I do have something. Give me a second." Adryn then pushed past Nova and crawled into her closet, only to emerge a moment later with a box and a bag in her hands.

"What is this?" Nova was worried but Adryn then opened the box, causing Nova to gasp.

"This is something I bought a while ago but never found an occasion to wear." Adryn stood up and pulled out the emerald-colored dress that was in the box. The dress was about the middle of thigh-high, the neckline was a V-neck, but wasn't too deep and it had tank top like straps. It was completely sparkly as well, every time the sparkles hit the light, emerald would be cast out throughout the room.

"This... this is beautiful! How did you get this without me knowing?!" Nova's excitement caused Adryn to laugh out loud.

"I don't know why you don't know this dress, it wasn't like I kept it from you on purpose."

"Well, I'm still angry with you, but that's alright. It's perfect!" Nova then made her way to Adryn's vanity and picked out some jewelry. To be specific, 2 necklaces, 1 opal and 1 a locket type thing holding sage and special oil inside of it, then 2 opal rings, one blue and one regular. Nova chose 2 sets of earrings, for the top hole, a blue opal, and the bottom hole would have a dangle earring with 6 different colored stones. Nova also decided to allow Adryn to wear her Mothman bracelet.

Once all the jewelry was picked out, Nova made Adryn put everything on and then opened the bag that Adryn had brought out to reveal shoes that Nova had never seen before. They were black and were small heeled shoes. So those went on Adryn as well.

"I actually look really good, don't I?" Adryn asked as she looked into her full-length mirror in her bathroom. It wasn't every day that Adryn wore special clothes, so she was shocked.

"You look amazing. Just add some makeup and then you'll be perfect." Nova stated as she peeked behind Adryn to see her in the mirror.

"Well, now that it's all done, get out."

"Huh?!" Nova was surprised to be pushed along by Adryn until she was out of Adryn's room.

"I'm exhausted now. Now is nap time."

"Alright." Nova laughed at Adryn's comment and left the room, closing the door behind her. She then got a great idea and went to Reiji's room after a moment to let Adryn get away from the door. Nova then knocked on Reiji's door, and after a moment Reiji opened it up. Nova gave Reiji a smile, causing the man to feel dread.

"What's up?" Reiji was nervous but decided to pretend like he wasn't. He didn't want to show fear in front of Nova.

"Say Reiji, do you know what you're going to be wearing tomorrow for the club?"

"No?" Reiji wasn't sure where this was going to go, but he definitely didn't expect Nova to push past him and enter his room without permission.

"Good, I'll help you pick out an outfit." With that, Nova and Reiji, reluctantly, begin going through the man's clothes.

After a little while, and a lot of clothes, Nova finally had an outfit picked out for Reiji. It consisted of a black, slightly tight-fitting shirt, black jeans, an emerald belt, and black shoes to go with it all. Nova even picked out some jewelry for him. The jewelry was a sterling silver ring that goes on Reiji's middle finger of whichever hand he chooses, and a silver necklace with a little pendant that wasn't really anything.

"Hmm..." Reiji muttered simply as he looked at the outfit that now rested on his bed.

"What?" Nova asked, preparing to get offended or angry with the man for rejecting her pick.

"I wasn't aware of this amount of black I had in my clothes I'd brought with me." Nova instantly began to laugh at Reiji's comment, but she knew he was serious, which made it more funny to her. As Nova laughed, Reiji pulled out a fedora from a hatbox and put it on the bed. It was black with an emerald ribbon with it.

"Hell no, Reiji. That isn't allowed." Nova instantly put the hat back into the box, causing the man to pout. This made Nova laugh again. "It wouldn't look right with the look I'm going for with this outfit."

"Why can't we have an outfit where I can wear a hat?"

"Nope. You have to match with Adryn." Hearing these words from Nova instantly caused Reiji some worry.

"What is your plan?"

"Good question." Nova giggled as she made her way to the door. She then turned around and smirked at Reiji. "Good luck tomorrow, you'll need it." With that, Nova walked out and closed the door behind her. This left Reiji confused and honestly a little more worried now. Reiji decided to shake off the worry and put his club outfit on a chair in the room so it wouldn't get all crumpled and wrinkled or anything.

The rest of the day continued without much issue for the residents of the mansion. Once dinner time came, Nova again approached Reiji, who was watching something in his room on his phone, to wake up Adryn and get her down for dinner. So, Reiji did as Nova asked and went to Adryn's room. He knocked on the door to Adryn's room but got no answer. So, Reiji opened the door and saw that Adryn was laying on her bed, under the covers and facing the door where Reiji was now. She had her eyes closed and she was breathing deeply, so she was clearly asleep.

"Adryn?" Reiji spoke up just above a whisper, not wanting to startle the sleeping girl. He approached the bed and spoke up a little louder. "Adryn?"

"Hmm?" Adryn mumbled as her eyes fluttered open. She looked at Reiji, completely confused, and then opened her eyes a little more, realizing that Reiji was actually there and she wasn't imagining it. "Oh... Reiji?"

"Hey Adryn, it's dinner time. I was asked to wake you up."

"Ah, alright." Adryn then sat up in bed and stretched, she then sighed and looked to Reiji. "I just had a funky dream about tomorrow."

"What was it about?"

"I... I think I'd rather not talk about it." Adryn blushed and looked away from Reiji. She was fidgeting with her hands and just seemed nervous, so Reiji didn't push the matter.

"Well, let's head down for dinner, alright?"

"Sure. Thank you for waking me up." With that, Adryn and Reiji headed down to the kitchen and sat down next to each other.

Dinner came and went with no particular things going on. Everyone was cordial with each other and no one fought for once. After dinner was eaten, Camus, Shiori, Ranmaru, and Nova all headed out to finish up their song. This left Ai, Reiji, Eclipse, and Adryn in the kitchen. Reiji and Eclipse cleaned up, while Ai suddenly excused himself to go do his own thing.

"So, are you ready for tomorrow night? Are you excited?" Reiji asked Eclipse, who just paused to look at him.

"I'm excited to see Taemin again, no matter where we are together," Eclipse responded simply before turning to look at Adryn. "What about you?"

"I'm actually pretty nervous. I don't usually go out and have fun anymore. It's been a little while." Adryn spoke up honestly.

"You should be having more fun, but you know, just not doing anything too crazy."

"Well, tomorrow, I plan on drinking but not too much. But um, how do we plan on getting back home?"

"If anything, I'll drive us there and back home. I haven't driven my precious car in a little while." Eclipse's car was the gunmetal gray old luxury car that has been sitting in Adryn's garage for a long while now, as Eclipse doesn't normally drive anywhere.

"Alright, cool." Adryn then looked to Reiji, who'd just finished up cleaning. "Will you do much drinking?"

"Honestly? I don't drink much nor have I really ever in my lifetime."

"So you're a little nervous to drink then?"

"A little bit, yeah."

"Don't worry, Reiji. Just don't drink too much and you'll be fine. Besides, we'll all be there together so nothing bad should happen." Adryn's words reassured Reiji and brought a smile to his face. Before he could say anything though, the doorbell could be heard ringing before they all heard the front door open up. Immediately, Eclipse pushed past Reiji and ran out of the kitchen. Reiji and Adryn looked at each other and ran after Eclipse. They entered the entrance hall just in time to see Eclipse jumping into the arms of a shocked Taemin.

Thankfully, Taemin was able to catch himself before himself and Eclipse hit the ground. Eclipse wrapped her legs around Taemin's waist as Taemin sits on the ground carefully not to hurt either of them. Then, despite Reiji and Adryn standing there, Taemin and Eclipse pressed their lips to each other and began to laugh into their kisses.

Everyone else, having heard the doorbell and then the following commotion came walking into the entrance hall. They were all confused by the scene that was unfolding in front of them.

"What is wrong with them?" Ai asked as he watched Taemin and Eclipse laugh with each other as tears began to fill their eyes. Realizing that more people were there now, Taemin and Eclipse get up off the floor and fix their faces.

"Everyone, this is Taemin," Eclipse spoke up to everyone in the entrance hall. Most of them had already met him, but it was whatever. Camus, Ranmaru, and Ai greet Taemin simply.

"Hello everyone. It's nice to see some people I already have met, however, I don't think I have met you." Taemin spoke up to Shiori.

"Hey there, you're pretty cute," Shiori spoke up, stepping towards Taemin, causing Adryn to pull her backward.

"Um, don't do that. He is completely off-limits. Shoo. Go away!" Adryn snapped at Shiori causing the girl to frown at Adryn.

"Hey there Taemin, long time no see," Reiji said, ignoring the fact that Shiori was trying to argue with Adryn.

"Reiji, it's been far too long."

"It's been too long since we've seen you!" Nova called out as she hurried to Taemin, pouncing on him as she got to him. Adryn walked over and let Nova hug Taemin, then she hugged Taemin.

"Well, now that the introductions are over. Let's get your things to your room." Eclipse told Taemin, who instantly agreed. Taemin and Eclipse made their way to Taemin's guest room. It was at the end of the hallway where everyone else's bedrooms were. However, Taemin spent most of his time with Eclipse, spending as much time with his lover as he possibly could be.

Since it was so late, everyone decided to do their own thing. Taemin and Eclipse headed to her room, inviting Nova in with them to hang out. They invited Adryn too, but she politely turned them down, in favor of staying with Reiji.

"So, what are you going to do now?" Adryn questioned the man after they were all alone in the entrance hall.

"I think I'm just going to read on my phone or answer fan mail," Reiji responded, causing Adryn to nod her head. She then got up from the bench they'd been sitting on but Reiji stopped her.

"Do you want to hang out with me in my room and just talk for a bit?"

"...Sure?" Adryn wasn't sure why Reiji suddenly wanted to chat with her, but she went with him anyway to his room. Once they got in there, Reiji sat on one of the chairs, leaving Adryn just standing, unsure of what to do.

"Don't just stand there, come sit here." Reiji chuckled at the awkwardness of Adryn. So, Adryn did as she was told and sat in a chair next to him, finally noticing on the third chair in the room, the random outfit laying there on it.

"What are those clothes about?"

"I chose them for the club tomorrow. I figured I'd worry about it tonight rather than rushing to figure it out tomorrow."

"Ah, I see."

"What are you going to wear tomorrow?"

"Hmm. I already have it picked out, it's a dress, but I'd rather wear pants or shorts. Nova wouldn't let me."

"Why would you rather wear pants or shorts?"

"I usually always feel a little weird in a dress and even a skirt. I don't necessarily like womanly clothes."

"How come?"

"Why is your outfit involving so much black?" Reiji realized that Adryn didn't want to answer that, but he wasn't sure why, so he just moved on to answer her question.

"Well..." Reiji didn't know what to say, as if he told her that Nova picked it out, she might get the wrong idea. He didn't want to upset her or give her the wrong impression. "Can I ask you a question about your sexuality? I'm really curious about what being pansexual means."

"Oh, sure. Ask me whatever you want."

"Well, what is your type of person that you normally like and go for?" To Reiji's question, Adryn paused and thought for a moment.

"I think I like a more sweet, caring, loving, and funny person with nice eyes and a good soul," Adryn explained simply before continuing on. "I always look for a nice pair of eyes because if they are clear and beautiful, then that person is good. If they are muddy and dark, they aren't a good person. It doesn't matter what eye color they have, just how they look in my eyes."

"How do my eyes look to you?"

"Beautiful," Adryn responded without hesitation. She then realized what she said and went red and began to mutter an explanation. "I mean that they look clear and bright. Just what I look for in eyes."

"What else do you look for?" Reiji asked with a smile on his face.

"Well, to be specific, I'm after a Virgo or a Cancer."

"I'm a Cancer." Reiji pointed out causing Adryn to laugh.

"Yeah, I know that, of course. Your birthday is the same day as Nova's is. July 13th."

"I see, I see. So, why are you looking for a Virgo or a Cancer specifically?"

"Those are the 2 Zodiac signs most compatible with me. I'd just prefer them as well."

"Is there anything else you look for in a person?"

"I just want someone who will love me for who I am, no matter what." Adryn then frowned and shook her head. "It's all wishful thinking though since I'm not going to live long enough to find that special person anyway." This instantly brought a frown to Reiji's face.

"You shouldn't think like that. You should be figuring out how to get help so you don't die." It was now Adryn's turn to frown.

"Why are you so concerned with my well being and life?" Adryn then held up a hand. "Wait, don't answer that. I don't want to know."

"Why don't you want me to answer that?"

"I don't want to know. But you know what, I thought you'd be different. I thought you wouldn't pressure me like Eclipse and Nova do." Adryn then got up from her seat and was about to head for the door, causing Reiji to panic. He instantly held out a hand to stop her as words fell from his mouth.

"Wait! I'm sorry for saying that when it isn't really my business to say anything like that to you. I was just worried about you and... honestly, I wouldn't be happy if you leave this world like you want to."

"Why would you care anyway?"

"Aren't we friends?" Reiji asked hopefully as he looked up at the still-standing woman. Hearing this, Adryn softened up a little bit and Reiji could visibly see her shoulders relax. "Sit back down, please?"

"Alright," Adryn responded as she sat back down in the seat she'd been in before.

"Have you heard from our bosses about our song?" Reiji asked, completely changing the subject altogether. Adryn pulled out her phone and checked before shaking her head.

"It doesn't look like it. It'd probably take until tomorrow or something."

"I should ask when I call shining to ask permission to go to the club tomorrow."

"That's a good idea," Adryn responded before yawning.

"Maybe you should get to bed, and I should call Shining before it gets any later."

"Yeah, alright." Adryn then stood up and turned to Reiji. "Thank you for the talk." Adryn then smiled at him, causing a little thump in Reiji's heart to happen, surprising him and also confusing him. Apparently, the surprise and confusion showed on his face. "Are you alright?"

"Oh, yeah, I'm good." Reiji quickly responded, just a tad bit too fast. Adryn didn't believe him, but she didn't push it because she was too tired anyway.

"Alright, well... goodnight Reiji."

"Goodnight, sleep well." Reiji watched as Adryn left his room, closing his door behind him, leaving him all alone. "Why did that happen when I saw her smile?" Reiji muttered to himself after he was sure Adryn was long gone. "It's almost like... I'm starting to like her or something." Reiji then shook off that thought and pulled out his phone to call Shining.

Meanwhile, Adryn was getting ready for bed and laid down to sleep. She then realized that she was able to hear voices from the next room, meaning she was hearing Eclipse, Nova, and Taemin chatting and laughing with each other. So, to fix the problem, Adryn pulled out her phone and earbuds to listen to some music. She spent a few moments figuring out what song she wanted to hear and ended up playing Serenity by Godsmack. Adryn fell asleep listening to her all-time favorite song, without a care in the world.
