Riley looked over at stand the was selling armor. "No idea," he said. "But I'll see." He went over to ask about them completely unaware of what Jennifer was up to.
The jeweler shook his head as Jennifer spoke in his mind. But then he understood what was going on. He simply nodded to her before place eight green opals on the table for her, taking the sapphire she placed for him.
Riley had gotten distracted by some of the other booths it was a few minutes before he came back to Jennifer smiling. "They're made out of enchanted steel," He told her. "If it's like the armor you've been working on I'm sure you want something much more durable after what happened a week ago." He then put a finger to his cheek and pouted slightly. "None of the armor here is anything like what I've been looking for either..." He then looked to see that the necklace Jennifer asked about was still there. That was good, he would have to sneak off and come back to get it for her later.
He then looked up into her eyes. "You ready to go see a play? It's been a while since I've been to one but it's a lot of fun. We'll even have our own booth and everything." His eyes widened a bit as he remembered the changes he still hasn't gotten around to. It was too late to backtrack now, so maybe he could get a quick word in before the next showing started, he wasn't too sure how Jennifer would react to some of the creative liberties he made with the retelling.

Jennifer had barely gotten the opals into her pocket before Riley came back to actually tell her what the armor was made of. "O-oh? Yeah, my current set is better than that already, so I'm thinking something like the Orichalcum/Mythril alloy sis and I made my new Aura Celica out of would work better."
She sent her thanks to the jeweler though the link before severing it as they walked away. "I could have sworn that you had some keyblade armor, didn't you? Maybe we could modify that instead of making you a brand new set." She had no idea how that would work, or even what he wanted for that matter, but between Lucia and her they could probably figure it out. She'd have to see her sister about making that charm anyhow.
Once Riley mentioned a play she pushed aside all those thoughts, finally remembering that this was a date. She did notice his eyes widen as he remembered something, but other than assuming it was about the play she had no idea. "Sure, if it's so surprising you act like that thinking about it then it's sure to be a great play!"

"Yeah I have keyblade armor," Riley told her. "But I never use it. I never really liked it, I want armor that's just as durable and but a lot more sleeker. I don't want to be slowed down or worry about not being able to move and spin around like a I always do. Plus since finding this spell I could use armor that changes with me to suit both of my forms." He looked into her eyes and smiled. "But if it gets modified by you I would gladly wear it~"
Riley gave Jennifer a nervous laugh when she talked about Riley's reaction to bringing up the play. He wasn't going to tell her about what why he was nervous, there was still a chance for him to change it before she saw it. "A-ah yeah! It's going to be amazing!" He rubbed the back of his head as he kept walking with her.
When they got to the theater one of the men at the door smiled at Riley. "It's been a while King Riley," he said. "You're actually just in time for-" He then noticed Jennifer. He blinked at her before smiling at her. "Didn't expect to ever meet you." He then looked back at Riley. "Finally taking her to see this huh? Took you long enough."
"The funny thing about that is I need to talk to you about-"
"Nonsense, I'm sure you have your reasons for taking this long. The next showing is about to start so we'll get you two seated right away." The man opened the door and led them up a flight of stairs.
Riley lowered his head as they walked, it was too late to make the changes. "I'm a dead man," he said to himself. The man led them to a silver door which opened up to a booth high above the rest. It had a red loveseat recliner near the balcony and tables filled with different snacks and drinks. It was clearly Riley's private booth for whenever he came to see a play.
The man gave Jennifer a brochure for the play titled 'Wrath Titans' and it had a picture of Riley, Shade, Nazo, Jennifer and Jason in front of the titans. "Have fun you two," The man walked off.
"Thanks..." Riley was still facing the ground. He had no ideas on how to get himself out of this one.

Riley's continued nervousness about the play made Jennifer even more suspicious, but she chose to ignore it for now. After all, she was about to figure it out anyhow. Once they got there she was surprised by the doorman apparently recognizing her, but before she could ask anything they were ushered up the stairs and into a very nice booth. Her voice was almost comically deadpan as she looked over at Riley, about to ask him if she was in the play. It was the only reason she could think of for the guy to know her after all.
That attempt got interrupted by the escort giving her a brochure for the play that confirmed her suspicions anyhow, as well as revealing exactly what the play was about. Her voice was almost hilariously deadpan as she held up the papers and looked at Riley again. "Two questions. One, how did they get Jason and my pictures on this thing? Two, I'm the damsel in distress in here, aren't I?" She was actually amused by the fact more than anything, but he was so nervous about it that she enjoyed toying with him, at least for a little while.

Riley gulped as Jennifer questioned him about the play. The play didn't even start yet and he was already going to have to explain himself. He looked at her and repeatedly pushed his two index fingers together. "W-well you see I just told them what you two looked liked." He told her with his face turning red. "And as for how you are in the play.." He swayed from side to side a little, not wanting to tell her. He was squirming until he noticed the curtain was going up. "Oh would you look at the time! The play is starting, you don't want to miss it do you?" He quickly took Jennifer's arm and brought her to the loveseat, breathing a sigh of relief and wiping his forehead.
Maybe he could come up with something during the play, it had been a while since he's seen it. Maybe he didn't change anything after all and was worried for no reason. He knew he made the changes, he was just wishing somehow that they wouldn't show up in this showing.
The curtains opened up to a scene of olympus at the ocean, with Rxokni surrounded by the titans. The actress playing Rxokni talked about how she had brainwashed the titans to lure Riley and the others into her trap. "With the titans on my side there will be no one left to stop me from taking over Riley's mind!" Rxokni gave an evil laugh before she disappeared backstage.
The next scene had the titans nearing the city just as Jason and Jennifer meet up with Nazo in front of the gate. As what actually happened Jennifer asked Nazo to help and Nazo summoned Shade and Riley. Though Jennifer seemed a lot more happy to see Riley appear than she actually was back then. She even mentioned something about hoping they would see each other again but not in these conditions. There was even an extra scene of Jennifer flirting with Riley.
The following scene was their fight with the titans up to the point where the titans where heading towards the city. Jennifer had teamed up with Riley for the fight and had been playfully flirting with him throughout the fight. She was even being overprotective of him during the fight and trying to show off in front of him. The group was five were more badly damaged then they were in the actual fight and Riley was nowhere to be seen after the attack he took from the Rock Titan.
"What are we going to do?" Jason said turning to the others. "If they reach the city it's over."
"I don't know Sir Edgytion," Jennifer said. "We already had to use our super forms."
"Fear not Fair Maiden of Light!" Riley said coming out of rubble. "There is still one way!"
"You don't mean that do you?" Nazo asked him.
"I do Grumpy Spirit." Riley said. "It's the only way!"
"But we've never even tested it before. What if it kills us all?!"
"Then it's been an honor fighting along side you all. Grumpy Spirit, Seductive Succubus let's do this!"
The three of them struck poses straight out of a magical girls anime before smoke of different colors covered the three. The smoke cleared revealing their goddess forms. After the triple goddess attack the titans were slain and Rxokni had taunted them about going to castle Oblivion before leaving.
"I can't believe it," Jason said. "We actually did it!"
"Whatever..." Nazo sighed.
"I guess they weren't up for playtime with us after all~" Shade said.
"That was amazing!" Jennifer exclaimed.
"It was all in a days work," Riley said. "But we couldn't have done it without you my dear. You did light the path for me, in the end it was the power of your love for me that gave me strength I needed."
"Oh Riley~" Jennifer swooned over him and fanned herself. The curtains fell as the play ended.
Meanwhile in the booth the real Riley had forgotten all about what he was worried about. That was until he remembered who he was seeing the play with. Riley quickly turned to Jennifer. "J-Jennifer I can explain!" He tried to come up with something quickly, but he had no good excuse. He lowered his head and covered it with his arms.

As the play opened everything seemed as she remembered it, Jason and her finding Nazo in the chaos, her summoning Shade and Riley. The changes began once the actor playing Riley appeared. Jennifer hadn't been that happy to see him, and she certainly hadn't flirted with him! She had thought about it, but there had been more pressing matters at the time.
She tried as hard as she could to keep a straight face as the story drifted more and more from what actually happened, eventually having to use a meditative trick Lucia had taught her years ago. Even that almost failed when the final scene revealed the "names" of the characters. Normally she would have been at least a little annoyed by the swooning depiction of her at the end, but the effort of staying neutral was so great that she literally was shaking for the last ten minutes.
Finally the curtain fell just after Riley turned to look at her, but she couldn't even understand what he was saying as she at long last did exactly what she had wanted to do from the beginning.
She literally fell out laughing. Not a giggle, not a chuckle, not even a normal laugh. She straight up fell off the loveseat and lay in the floor clutching her sides laughing so hard that tears ran down her face. 'Oh my god! That was so funny! Sir Edgytion? Grumpy Spirit?!" It took nearly five minutes for her to regain control, and even then she'd chuckle occasionally as she managed to sit up again and look at Riley, wiping tears from her face. "We're gonna have to change a few things, but we're keeping the names."

Riley had expected Jennifer to punch him after seeing his rewrite of the events, but he couldn't have predicted her actual reaction. Not feeling any fists and hearing something fall he looked up to find Jennifer laughing on the floor. He blinked as he couldn't believe what he was seeing. Maybe he was seeing things, maybe she hit him so hard he was dreaming a better situation. He pinched himself before realizing what was happening in front of him was actual real.
Riley let out a big sigh of relief and sank in the chair. This was going a lot better than he had expected it to. "You.. you aren't mad at me?" He asked her once she collected herself. "I thought you would be angry and punch me..." He rubbed the back of his head.
His eyes did light up a bit though as she wanted to help with another rewrite. "Really? You mean it? Working on a story with you sounds fun, and I'm glad you liked this one so much." He stuck his tongue out at her. He then thought about how that version came to be. "I wrote the first version a few months we went our separate ways after Castle Oblivion. I was thinking about you a lot, and heard that going to that castle can make you forget things. I didn't want to forget you so I wrote about our time together." He blushed a little bit. "I'm sorry about not telling you about this. I had forgotten about it and once I realized what changes I made I didn't want you to be angry with me."

Jennifer's mirth faded a little as she realized that he had actually expected her to punch him. "Riley, I know you have a kinda slapstick relationship with your other wives, but I'm not like that. Yeah, I was a little annoyed at the "me" in the play, but it was funny too. Even if it weren't, I'd never hit you out of anger." She had never been tolerant of abuse in any form, and she wouldn't perpetuate it herself either.
With the mood abruptly shifted, she thought back to everything they had gone through after the Titans and suddenly giggled. "It's a good thing you didn't put the rest of that adventure into the play. They'd have gone broke trying to get all the backdrops. It's sweet that you tried to do that though." Rising from the floor finally, she sat right next to him and gave him a kiss on the cheek.

Riley blinked at Jennifer ask she explained she wasn't the type to hit him out of anger. "Jennifer.. I didn't mean you hitting me like that." He explained. "I know you would never abuse me, if I had any doubts I wouldn't have confessed my love for you until I was certain. Maple is just really playful with me and doesn't intend to hurt me when she does all that. I'm sorry if it came across like I thought you would hurt me like that, I only meant playfully hit me. If that's not your thing then I completely understand."
He blushed a little as she rejoined him and kissed his cheek. "Yeah, plus there could only be one showing per day, and it'd take forever to get between scenes." He giggled a bit again. He then took her hands and looked into her eyes. "Today has been amazing, I haven't had this much fun in so long." He kissed her hand. "Plus I never would have guessed anyone could get me to act like how I've been today. I haven't giggled and blushed and skipped in such a long time I had almost forgot that I did those things. If I ended up doing that in front of the others they might ask you what you've done to me~"
He then looked away for a minute as he thought about something. "I still need to show you the rest of the castle today, and after that it'll probably be night time." He looked into her eyes again. "Hey Jennifer, do you think I can stay with you in your room tonight? Not just because you promised me to show me some new tricks but so I don't have to face the others yet. I know you and Maple got along during training yesterday, but I'm just not ready to face them all and tell them about us yet. I do promise though I'll be the one to tell them face to face. I just need more time is all." He then gave her a smile. "Besides it's kind of romantic having a forbidden love between us, my Juliet~"

Jennifer just gave him a loving smile as he took her hands, the moment turning romantic once more. "I'd have never thought someone could break though my mask and still like me either. I guess we're both full of surprises." She was so happy she felt as if she were glowing. Actually, wait a minute...
Giggling, she reabsorbed the Light that had been emitting from her skin in small amounts. "Sorry, that happens sometimes."
She nodded enthusiastically at his mention of the castle tour, looking forward to finally knowing the rest of it's layout. "Of course you can stay with me again. Do you really think I'd tell you no? Oh, speaking of that promise~," her smile slid into a grin again, "I just remembered a way to get my kit."
Holding out her hand she focused hard on removing the Light from a small area in front of her, eventually leaving nothing but Darkness in the shape of a two foot wide Corridor. "I can make them decently if they're small. Let's see..." She stuck her arm through up to the elbow, rummaging around for a minute before pulling out a small duffel bag that barely fit through the Corridor. "Aha, here it is!"
Opening the zipper revealed an impressive collection of items, including ropes, harnesses, handcuffs, blindfolds, and several sizes of other things. She closed it again with a satisfied nod before grinning even more at Riley. "Who's Juliet now?
With nowhere to put it she had no choice but to carry it normally, though it's contents were hidden at least. "Where's Jason's magic pockets when you need them?"

Riley giggled once he realized Jennifer was actually glowing. "It's okay Jenny," he said with a smile. "It helped brighten the mood." He stuck his tongue out at her.
He gave her a smile when she agreed to let him stay in her room again, and that smile only grew bigger once she created a small corridor to get her "kit". Even though he was still a little embarrassed about wanting this, he was happy his first time trying it was with her. He did blush a little once he noticed what was inside her kit, and he had to fan himself for a few minutes as he tried to take his mind out of the gutter to prevent himself from saying anything that would make them both run into her room before their date was over.
" Nice collection," He finally said giggling a bit. He then look at her though once she realized she would have to carry it around normally, or at least she thought. He took a deep breath before he took he hand and looked into her eyes. "I can carry it for you!" He said with a small blush. "These shorts have magic pockets in them, and if you don't want me to carry them in my pocket.." A little brown satchel appeared on his waist. "I can always use this." He opened it showing that it had small bags of cookies and other snacks, as well as a few things Jennifer would appreciate for when it was her time of the month. It didn't seem to have a bottom as it seemed to go on forever. "I always come prepared, having so many wives and all. So next month if you ever need anything you know where to find it."

Jennifer laughed as Riley offered to carry the kit, because of course he had magic pockets. She grew much more interested when he made a bag appear from seemingly nothing, containing what she quickly decided was a woman's emergency period stash. Her eyebrow's twitched as Riley tried to explain it as for his wives. While that might have been at least partially true, she suspected another reason.
"Uh huh. And the fact that you're usually a woman has nothing to do with it then?" She shook her head before handing him the bag. "We need to get you a period tracker or something. I'm afraid to ask how many pair of panties you've ruined by just assuming you'd deal with it on the fly." She grew a little embarrassed when he mentioned her own time, remembering Jason's words before the day had begun, but shook it off and stood up, offering her hand to Riley again. "All right, let's get going then. If we wait too long we'll have to sneak into your own castle!"

Riley's face lit up a new shade of red once Jennifer figured out the main reason he carried emergency period items. He did have them in case his wives needed them, but they were mainly for him. He rubbed the back of his head. "Yeah.. I don't really keep track of my clock." He admitted. "I uh.. wasn't aware of them when I was first cursed, so when it happened the first time Maple and Winda had to explain it to me." He blushed a bit more once he started to think about how many pairs of underwear he has ruined.
He put Jennifer's bag into his before making it disappear. He then grinned at her as he took her hand. "But that would be so fitting for the two of us, Romeo and Juliet having to sneak around and not get caught after their first date~" He keeled as he kissed her hand and started kissing up her arm, finishing it with a kiss to her cheek. He smirked at her. "But I guess if we don't want to end up staring in a love tragedy you're right."
He got up and lead her back to town. It was night time again and the moon was shining as bright as it did the previous night. He was skipping along again as he really enjoyed today. His face even kept a slight blush as he grinned at her once he realized he was skipping again. Once they made it to the castle he led her to one of the halls leading to the main hall. "First I can show you the garden then we can-" He stopped when he heard voices in the main hall. He looked at her with worried eyes. "Wait here." He slowly made his way to the edge of the hall, listening in on what was going on.
"He's not back yet?" Maple whined.
"Not yet," Lana told them. "I sent him off world to find something for me. But I'm sure once he gets back he'll have a story to tell you." She smirked once she sensed Riley and Jennifer were back from their date. "But if you really want to find him you could try looking off world. I think he ended up going to Land of the Dragons. If you hurry you might catch him."
"I'll go look for him," Merlina said. "If he ends up coming back before I do let me know." Merlina opened a portal and disappeared.
"Maybe he's already back. We should go look for him." Iris suggested.
"I don't think that's such a good idea!"
"Why not?"
"Because.. if he was here then I would be able to sense him. You all had a long day you need your rest."
"Okay.. but we're going to look around just in case."
"Maybe the others came back already and know where he is..."
Iris, Maple, and Winda disappeared into different parts of the castle. "I tired," Lana said to herself. "I'm sure they'll be fine, I hope. I should get back to Derio just in case they find them. I feel kind of bad for leaving him with the goddesses anyway." Lana disappeared into a portal of her own.
Riley looked back at Jennifer and took her hands. He looked up into her eyes with a worried look. "What are we going to do?! I'm not ready to face them yet, but if we get caught I'm done for!"

Jennifer laughed and joked with Riley as they walked back to the castle in the moonlight, completely at peace still. That all went out the window when they neared the main hall and Jennifer sensed all four of Riley's wives and Lana just ahead. Riley apparently had heard them, sneaking ahead to eavesdrop, but she could tell when they all spread out that it could only mean one thing.
Worried about being too loud, she once again reached out with her mind and created a link, this time with Riley. "It's a good thing I remembered how to do this earlier. Just think at me and I'll be able to hear it." She spread her Light sensing to its limit to locate everyone again, though Lucia was too far away thanks to her balanced heart, and decided only one thing could work. "Alright, I can't open a Corridor without someone sensing the Light i'd displace. I have one thing I've been trying to do, but it'll be tricky, and you'll have to stay touching me."
Focusing as hard as she could she bent the light around them, effectively making them nearly invisible blurs to anyone not right on top of them. They could still see each other, but the field was only a few inches away from them. "I can keep this up for a few minutes, but it won't stop sound and they'll probably see if we move when they're looking. You know the castle better, so you lead." This was beginning to feel like an old game she played years ago...

Riley blinked once he heard Jennifer in his mind before he sighed. Now there was another person who could barge in on his mind, but at least it was Jennifer. "Alright, this way they won't hear us. But we still need to figure out how to-" He then titled his head at Jennifer as she explained he would have to keep touching her if her plan would work. He then gave her a grin as she bent the light around them and explain how it was working. He pulled her into a hug. "You're the best Jenny~"
He turned around, but still holding her hand, before leading them through the main hall. He then realized how short the field was after stubbing his toe on one of the tables. He covered his mouth with his free hand as he silently cursed. He shook his injured foot for a bit before he kept going. Soon they made it into the garden outside. It was filled with many different trees baring many different fruits. There were also bushes or fruit and vines along the inner wall. There were small rows of small streams of water around the bushes. There were even flowers growing all over the place. "This is the garden," Riley explained through the link. "Iris is in here a lot picking food to eat and picking the flowers." He pointed up at the sky. "Iris made an invisible barrier for the exposed portion of the garden. It only let's in rain and sunlight in case there's any invasion."
Riley then felt something, he couldn't sense auras but he still got the feeling when someone was watching him from behind. He feared it was one of his wives looking for him in the garden. He didn't say anything at first to see if they had already been spotted. When nothing happened he talked to Jennifer through the link again. "We're being watched, but I don't know by who..." He then figured as long as they didn't make any sudden movements they would be fine. He slowly turned around to find not one of his wives, but Elizabeth alone looking right at them. "It's Elizabeth..."
Elizabeth could sense them, but because of Jennifer she couldn't see them. She walked on all fours around them before she stopped right in front of Riley. She smelled where he was before she smiled. "Daddy!" She then entered the field rubbing against Riley's leg like a cat. She then stopped in front of him and looked up at him. "Why are you sneaking around? And why are you invisible?" She then looked at Jennifer and looked at her for a few seconds. She looked back at her "father" before she got the scent of Jennifer from him, and vice versa. She titled her head at him. "Why do you have her scent all over you?" She then took a few steps forward and looked up at Jennifer. "Why is his scent all over you?!"

Normally Jennifer would have loved to explore the garden, smelling the flowers and snacking on the fruit. Right now though, she couldn't help but roll her eyes as Riley seemed intent on finishing the tour after all. She almost told him to hurry up or they'd get caught, but before she could he mentioned them being watched. That meant one of two people, since she couldn't sense them. Either her sister, or...
Elizabeth not only sensed them, but came right up to them like it was nothing. Jennifer supposed they were lucky she had entered the field at least. Just as she thought things were fine however, Elizabeth asked about their scents. Jennifer didn't even know she could smell scents, but apparently she could. She glanced over at Riley awkwardly before deciding to deal with it before they got caught. "I'm gonna tell her. She deserves to know, and I doubt a lie would work since she can see auras."
Rather than bring her into the link with them Jennifer squatted down to the girl's level and spoke softly. "You know how Maple and Iris and the others are your daddy's wives? Well, I'm going to be one too sometime soon, but the others don't know yet. It's a surprise, and we need a little more time to get ready for it. So don't say anything to them, okay? It'll be better for everyone if it stays between us for now." Just in case she glanced over at Riley again, hoping he had something if that didn't work.

Riley looked at Elizabeth not expecting her to be the one that found them, but he would rather it be her than one of the others. Before he could explain what was going on Jennifer told him she would. "Alright, I was going to tell her the truth anyway. I could never lie to her."
Elizabeth titled her head at Jennifer. She blinked before she looked back at Riley as Jennifer did. She understood what she said, well most of it. She didn't understand why they would want to keep it a secret. If Jennifer was going to be one of her father's wives then there would be no reason to hide it, right?
Riley smiled at Elizabeth as he knelt down to her. "Jennifer is right Elizabeth." He told her. " It's not like with Merlina where I was separated from them for years and married her. This happened here, with me knowing where everyone was. Jennifer and I fell in love with each other a few years ago while we were going through a lot of things. Remember that story I told you involving the titans and Castle Oblivion? That's where we fell in love, but because of what was going on we couldn't say anything back then. We only recently saw each other again and got the chance to confess. I haven't told the others yet because I'm not sure how they are going to react, they have no idea about this and until I'm ready to face them I want to keep it that way. It doesn't mean that I love Jennifer any less than the others, it just means that this is a different situation than before. I still don't know how I'm going to tell them, but I know I'll be the one to do it. It's my fault for not talking with them before making a big decision like this, and no matter what happens this isn't a mistake. This isn't going to be like the one who left, so you don't have to worry about me ending up like that again, okay? Jennifer and I love each other a lot, and i don't regret anything we've done. If it works out like we hope we'll all be one big happy family! I need you to not say anything about Jennifer and I, about us being here,about her becoming a wife and us being together. You can't tell the others you saw us, not until I say it's okay, understand?"
Elizabeth looked at Riley in his eyes as he explained things. She then looked at Jennifer for a while before looking back at Riley. Her eyes glowed for a bit as she looked at Jennifer's aura, seeing something similar to the other wives when they were around Riley. Her eyes stopped glowing as she smiled at Riley. "Okay." She then went to Jennifer and hugged her leg. "Don't hurt him like that one did, okay?" She went back to Riley and hugged his leg purring. She then let go of him and went back into the castle.
Riley smiled a bit before looking at Jennifer. "I did mean all that, by the way." He told her through the link. "Even though I'm too scared to right now I will be the one to tell them. It was me who didn't say anything to them before coming to you, so it'll be me who explains what happened." He poked her nose playfully. "That was too close, I'll be faster with the rest of the tour, I promise. Ready to see the rest?"

At first Jennifer was afraid that Elizabeth wouldn't understand, and go find someone else anyhow. Thankfully Riley stepped up to the challenge, explaining things in a way only a father speaking to his daughter could. She listened as well while he spoke, musing over the challenges before them as a couple and as part of the larger relationship. She rally did hope that everything would work out, for all their sake.
Once Riley was done Elizabeth looked straight at her with her eyes glowing, getting a feeling very similar to when Lucia was studying her aura intently that one time she got sick. Whatever she found apparently made her happy though, as she not only agreed to keep the secret but actually hugged her leg! She felt like her heart was going to melt at that moment, only barely recognizing the little girl's request. "I can promise you that will never, ever happen."
As Elizabeth went back inside and Riley spoke through the link again Jennifer smiled at him, giggling softly at yet another boop from him. "I meant what I said as well. Now, let's finish the tour, so we can relax finally."

Riley nodded at Jennifer before he led her back into the castle. He took her through a different hallway leading to the library. There were different landscape paintings and some plants on both sides of the hall. When they reached the library they would find a rather large room filled with countless shelves lined with books of many different colors and sizes. Some seemed more used than others, and others were even written in different types of Elvish. There were tables and chairs and in the very center an odd block of stone with runes on it. "I can read all forms of Elvish thanks to Winda and Merlina," He told her taking her around for a quick look around. "I'll have to explain the block later when we have more time, but I promise you I'll explain it all when we do."
He then took her out of the library and into another hall. Some way into the hall he placed his hand on a part of the wall. A small rectangle of light appeared around his hand and a small door opened up in front of them. He nodded to her before going down the winding staircase as the door closed behind them. After a while they were in the underground part of the castle. There were many different doors there but he headed down the hall until they reached the white door. He pushed it open to reveal the data center. It was a large room with different circular gateways around. In the middle was a large computer on top of a desk with some chairs in front of it. "This is the data center," He explained. "Here you can use simulations based on memories and thoughts to train as hard as you want. You can even change things like who appears there and what heartless appear. You can even control the number that appear before going into one and set special rules like having super forms last longer and stuff like that, the possibilities are endless. I use this place all the time to relive old battles and see how far I've come. When we have more time I can upload your memories and thoughts to it so it will be more tailored to you when you want to use it."
He then took her back upstairs and into the ground floor of the castle. " The third floor is still being finished, so that's the important stuff since you've already seen the smithy, so all that's left is my room, which will be soon also be yours~" He then took her to the door of his room. He put his ear to it to make sure none of his wives were in there. Not hearing them he nodded to her before quietly opening the door and leading her into it, closing it behind them.
The room was much bigger than one would think, but then again he did share it with his wives. His bedroom was not what one would expect from a king, but then again Jennifer knew him well and would probably expect it from him. The walls were filled with posters of sexy anime women and some shelves lined with figures of different anime women. In the far right corner was an Alaskan King Bed, big enough to fit Riley and his wives, including Jennifer whenever she moves in. There was a big tv with a bunch of movies, anime seasons, and video games on the selves below it. There was one self filled with books, most likely for Winda and Merlina. There was also some work out gear that most likely belonged to Maple and a small baking oven, which no doubt belonged to Iris. There were other things like flowers and dressers most likely pick out by the wives, and the closet seemed to go on forever with the a countless amount of the same pairs of clothes for all of them. There was a desk with two computers and a laptop. There were three lamps in the room, a large couch, and three wooden trunks.
Riley looked at his bed before turning to smirk at Jennifer. "Can't wait to see what you'll be able to do to me with that amount of space~ Maple broke the last one forgetting her strength again so we reinforced this one." He then lead her into the bathroom, which looked a lot more like a hot springs. The tiles were a pearl white and there were glowing rocks all over the springs. "This will all also be yours after I come clean to the others, so if there's anything you want to add it's okay with me."
Riley then took her back into the hall, lightly closing the door behind him. "And that's pretty much it, now to just make it back to your room and we're home free." He led her all the way back to the room she had been staying it, only letting go of her once they were in. He used his keyblade to lock the door again before turning to her. He pulled her in for a deep kiss. After a few minutes he slowly pulled away from her and took her hands, looking into her eyes. "Today was so amazing Jenny, it's been so long since I've been able to go out like that I forgot how much fun it could be."
His body got a faint glow of light before it faded away. "That means there's only a few hours left of the spell, so looks like you really will get to have your way with both of my modes tonight~" He made his bag appear again before he dug through it, getting Jennifer's bag and giving it to her before making his own bag disappear. He looked back into her eyes. "There's only one other thing. After we're done, do you think we can cuddle until we fall asleep? It has always been kind of romantic to me."

Jennifer was amazed at the sheer number of books in the library, dwarfing even the big one in the castle at Radiant Garden. She was really curious about the block, but left it alone since Riley promised to explain later. She did snag a few books as they passed, surprised that there even were books on variable stiffness materials and micro-circuitry there. Those would come in handy later though.
The data center created many possibilities, and when Riley mentioned basing the simulations on memories her mind immediately went not to training, but to showing him Celderat. That would have to wait for another time though. For now she was worried about being trapped in a room Riley was often in while his wives were searching for him! She barely breathed as they returned up the staircase, even though she couldn't sense anyone nearby.
She thought going to his room was an even worse idea, but somehow they weren't caught in there either. Fate must be on their side, she reasoned, as she stared at the room in awe. If she had a royal bedroom before, it would have looked like that. She even recognized some of the figures and posters from older series she had watched on Celderat. The bathroom was even better, better even than the one they had made at their base! Yes, she was definitely going to enjoy living here.
Despite enjoying herself throughout the stealthy tour she couldn't help but sigh in relief when they made it back to her room. Trying to keep them invisible had been very taxing on her Light, especially at night when there was less of it to draw on in the area. Still, as they shared a kiss she decided she'd do it all again in a heartbeat. "That was the best day I've ever had. Seriously, it was."
Once Riley handed her the kit and made his request she put it down and smiled at him, tenderness in her eyes. "Of course, I love to cuddle too! All that sneaking wore me out a bit though, so let's start off a bit lighter, okay? We can get to the real~ fun in a bit." Grinning, she kissed him again before bringing him over to the bed.
