"Golly, that's a surprise!"

"A circus performance for he, the great Count Bleck?" 

"Technaclly it's for all of ush, but it kinda is for ya too, Shyre." 

"M'kay, shall I clear our schedule for today then then?" 

This was only a piece of the whole conversation the dwellers of Castle Bleck had as they excitedly chattered away. Ms. L, their newest recruit, rolled her eyes, seemingly not impressed at all by the interest her latest colleagues appeared to have for this performance. She wasn't sure what was so interesting about it. 

Well, she herself was quite intrigued too, to be honest.

Her reason, though?

The person who had offered to do it.

Dimentio.

Truth be told, she felt confused. Why would he do something like this? They were in the middle of doing something very important; to end all worlds. Dimentio knew that very well. 

If he did, why this? 

She frowned, but just decided to let it happen. She WAS interested in seeing this end, anyway. 

*****

So much preparations needed.... 

But he was sure that this was going to be enough. 

All his intentions so far... Were for her.

Once, it was to remake a better world. 

Now, it was so she could live in a better world. 

Well, most people would say that those intentions were one and the same. Not so for him. The first one was out of revenge. The second one was out of love, manifested when he met her that day. When Nastasia introduced her, he had to admit that she looked stunning in his eyes. 

He was ready now. 

He wasn't going to let this go to waste, what with the heroes winning their battles....

He knew that the grand finale was coming. Soon, it would be time to end the stupid Count, and to make the world he had always dreamt of with her. 

Time to get real and ready for the finale! A cruel smirk appeared on his face. Just imagining his dream world made him smile like crazy.

"This is tots amazing!" Mimi's voice snapped him out of his daydream, twisting his evil grin into a humble one as his acquaintances arrived. Showtime.

"It is tremendous, said Count Bleck." 

"Mkay, this is a bit more extravagant than I expected." 

"I hafta agree. Thish entire thing looks sho fancy!" 

"It's big, alright. Almost as big as a peanut."

Ms. L was being completely sarcastic of course. The circus tent Dimentio had used was grand, majestic.... Almost fit for a king. 

The five entered the tent, finding some grand thrones waiting for them, as if goading them to snuggle themselves in.

When Mimi tried sitting on one, she squealed, "Gosh, these are so fluffy!"

"Indeed they are, complimented Count Bleck," the leader regally sat himself down, scarlet eyes scanning the room.

"Hm, I gotta admit these chairs are good. Remind me to ask Dimentio for the contact of the people who made these," Nastasia noted to herself, plopping down on her seat.

"Gosh, stop being such a bore!" Mimi stuck her tongue out at her, curling up on the soft pillow that had been provided for her.

"Argh, Mimi, don't be a mood smasher," O'Chunks grunted to the cutesy girl.

Ms L laughed condescendingly, "The mood smasher is you, O'Chunkie."

"Hey!" he growled at her, annoyed by her words. If she wasn't an ally, he would have smashed her away by now.

"Silence, said Count Bleck. He believes the performance is about to start."

That managed to stop the fight before it began, which was good since no one wanted to fight right now, especially with it starting.

The lights dimmed, giving off this eerie vibe that something bad might happen. However, being the villains they were, they didn't seem to mind. In fact, Count Bleck looked comfortable being in this atmosphere.

"Welcome, ladies and gentlemen, wonderful guests of this dome I call a circus tent," Dimentio's voice spoke.

A light shined on a podium, where there he was, floating with his humble grin on. It seemed to emphasize his dashing features to Ms L, who always liked how charming he was. So you could excuse her for the small blush on her lime green face.

"Now, you may be wondering, 'Why did Dimentio offer this?'" he smirked, eyes twinkling in wonder and mischief. "Of course, like a magician who doesn't reveal his tricks, I shall not disclose my own motives behind this. For I am a humble jester who is nothing important."

Ms L frowned. She didn't believe that! For her, he was a wonderful person who complimented her all the time!

"However, that does not change the fact that this performance is for someone special to me. Someone...." his eyed flickered to the lime bunny. "Close to my heart."

"So! Without further ado! Allow me to begin this performance with FIREWORKS!"

The moment he said that, rockets soared to the skies, exploding upon reaching its maximum height. Spectrums and auroras of lights danced in the sky, bringing colours to the dark night world above.

"Mkay, this is awesome," Nastasia's eyes were sparkling behind her translucent glasses, unable to hide her amazement.

"Tots awesome!" Mimi agreed, hopping up and down like a little kid.

"Hafta say this is smashing," O'Chunks grinned.

"Magnificent, says Count Bleck!"

"Gotta agree."

"Hey, isn't that a bunny?" Mimi suddenly blinked, pointing towards a green spectrum which seemed like a lime bunny.

A familiar one.

Once again, Ms L felt her cheeks heat up. This was so cute but.... But it was still lame! Yeah! S-Still lame!

"Did you like the little light show?" Dimentio asked once the first act was over.

"It wash aweshome," O'Chunks complimented, giving the jester a thumbs-up.

"Why, thank you, kind Sir," he humbly spoke. "However, that was still a brief taste of our next act."

"Next act? What is it?!" Mimi excitedly asked.

"Show us, Dimentio! Count Bleck orders you!"

"Show us this act," Nastasia demanded, interest shining bright, as if a diamond had been reflected in her eyes. 

"Better be interesting," Ms L lounged on the sofa, eyes twinkling in contrast to her words. 

Dimentio smirked seeing that, "Very well! Allow me to introduce the next act, which is Taming the Bunny!" 

The lights went off the same time their faces morphed into confusion. Taming the Bunny?

"What does that mean?" Mimi questioned her fellow minions and boss. 

"Count Bleck does not understand either." 

"Tremble before the mighty bunny warrior! The terror of our world who is unknown! Welcome..... The Nature Bunny!" Dimentio's voice gloated before the lights returned, showing a lime-green bunny hopping to the stage. 

"That bunny somehow reminds me of Ms L," Nastasia mumbled. "Mkay, this is worrying." 

"How is it worrying?" O'Chunks blinked. 

"I agree! I personally find it cute!" Mimi squealed. 

Dimentio floated down to face the bunny, who growled upon meeting eyes with the jester. It definitely wasn't just insecure. 

No, it could sense the malice and pure darkness wafting off him like a horrible smell. 

And that made it anxious. What was this strange aura he gave off? What crazy plan did he have in mind?

The jester could only chuckle, "Quite amusing, little bunny. However, in order to make you bow before the great Count, I regretfully say that I must discipline you as an example." 

Cue more growls. This guy was treating this like a game! It had heard of so many stories regarding him, none of them good, and it was not going down hands up! 

So, with no hesitation in its eyes, it charged for Dimentio, ready to end him. 

However, having anticipated this, he threw shurikens its way, forcing it to dodge again and again, unaware that behind it, a cage had begun to rise...

Until it was too late. 

One well-aimed shuriken made it dodge....

RIGHT into the cage. 

The moment it entered it, SNAP! The cage was closed, and the bunny was taken away. 

The inhabitants of Castle Bleck all burst into applause. They had been amused by this show, and they were excited to see the rest of the acts. 

Of course, normal people would be disgusted by this. Hurting animals for fun was NOT funny! It was not even ethical! 

But they didn't seem to own ethics. In fact, it seemed like their ethics had gone down the drain no thanks to Dimentio. 

"Golly, that was amazing!" 

"Bleh bleh bleh! says Count Bleck!" 

"This is aweshome!" 

"Mkay, gotta agree with that." 

Ms. L was blushing all the way. Did Dimentio get that bunny for her? Could it be that he... 

Could he have a crush on her?!

Nonsense! She was new! She just joined! There was no way!

Right?

That did not hinder the HUGE scarlet tint that had conquered her face, of course.

"Ms. L, are you alright?" Nastasia asked, worry lacing her tone. "You look kinda red, y'know."

"Y-Yeah, I am!" She nervously nodded, trying to hide her horribly clearly red face. 

"Alrighty then. If you're sick, tell me, mkay? We need you in tip top condition," she instructed. 

"Yes Ma'am!" she saluted, allowing her red face to be seen. 

Nastasia chuckled despite herself. This was really sweet in her eyes... Perhaps someday, she and Count Bleck could be like that.... Of course, that was a fantasy. She knew more than anyone that it was impossible. 

She was snapped out of her daze by the sound of a piano playing a slow tune. Sorrow seeped into their hearts, robbing them of their prior happiness as the lights shined on Dimentio playing one on the stage. 

The song spoke volumes to them. It told a story of melancholic times. Times of war. Times of loss. 

It struck their hearts so hard. 

But it struck Ms L's the hardest. 

Why? 

Because she could feel something behind it. 

She could feel true love behind the sorrow he was trying to show. Malice was there, but she could feel the love. 

The love...

For her...

As the song went on, Ms L subconsciously began moving towards Dimentio. Her eyes were watery.... 

The world faded away. She didn't care anymore. 

All she could care for was the person in front of her. 

Finally, after what felt like an eternity, it ended, and Dimentio stood up, ready to bow....

When he saw Ms. L's teary eyes. 

"Miss L?" he spoke softly, eyes widening in confusion. Why was she crying? Did she not like it? 

"Dimentio..... I-I.... I hear your call... And I.... I love you too," she whispered in reply. 

His heart stopped right there.

Did he hear her right?

Did she say that...

That she loved him too?....

".... I-I... Love you too," he finally spoke up, floating over to her. 

They stared at each other's eyes, love and pure happiness in them. 

Happiness that their love was finally reciprocated. 

Ms. L leaned in the same time Dimention did....

And they shared a loving kiss under the sparkling sky, soon followed by cheers and applause from the others. They were happy for the new couple, indeed! They had found solace in each other, so how could they not be happy?

Oh, how naïve they were. If only they knew... 

If only they knew about Dimentio's ace....
