"Oh I wasn't trying to out do you, love." Nijuu smiled, as she looked into Grey's eyes. "Hmm...how about a picnic?" She suggested.

Amalia smiled slightly. "Oh...I really didn't mean anything when I was calling you 'lazy bones'.." she whimpered, then looked to the water.

Grey looked to her, "Sounds like fun.....but I forgot to bring food......."

Shrike chuckled warmly, "Oh I know.......though I wasn't lying when I said you have very kissable lips."

Nijuu kissed Grey softly. "I'm sure we can find some here."

Amalia began to blush slightly. "So you were using the truth, to get me to slap you...you're a bad boy." Amalia said, as she looked up at Shrike.

Grey started to walk with Nijuu, "Hopefully....wouldn't want you to go hungry my dear....."

Shrike rose an eyebrow, "What are you gonna do if I am a bad boy?"

Nijuu held Grey's hand, and smiled. "It's an odd feeling...you taking care of me like this.." She said, as she followed Grey.

Amalia turned around in the tub, and pressed her body next to Shrike's. "Hmm...I don't know...I guess I'll have to think of something; don't I?"

Shrike whispered, "Look who's being the bad girl now?"

Grey turned and smiled, "Its usually the other around isn't it?" He smiled as they walked underneath a massive apple tree.

Amalia tilted her head slightly. "And what are you going to do about it?" She asked playfully.

Nijuu's smile grew slightly. "I'm quite content with you taking care of me like this." She replied. "It's nice to have someone I love take care of me once and awhile."

Grey swooped her up into his arms, holding her around the back, and the thighs, "How about being held, do you like this too?"

Shrike splashed her with water, then rose his eyebrow at her.

Nijuu's smile continued to grow. "I love when you hold me." She giggled. "You'll never hear a complaint from me when you're holding me."

Amalia tilted her head slightly, as she sat up on her knees, and splashed Shrike with water. Then giggled.

Shrike submerged his head under the water, rose out, and squirted her with a spout of water from his mouth.

Grey looked up at the tree, "Glad to hear it, now, do you think you could reach one of those apples?"

Nijuu giggled softly, as she reached up, and grabbed an apple. She then reached up again, and grabbed another apple.

Amalia raised her brow slightly, and smiled wickedly, as she spread her wings in the tub. She then moved them forward with such force, it cause a wave in the water, that soaked Shrike.

Shrike grinned, and did only the most simplest thing in the world that he could do to annoy her. He reached out with his hand, and poked her chest.

With a smile, Grey said, "Good, we've got our first portion of our little picnic, what else should we look for?"

Nijuu looked down at Grey and smiled. "Pears!" She beamed.

Amalia raised her brow slightly, and looked from Shrike's hand, then to his face. "Really?!" She said, as she grabbed his hand, and pulled herself towards him, pressing her body against his again. "That's all you could think to do?" She whispered, holding his arm behind her.

Grey continued to carry her around, "Tell me when you spot a pear tree." Next, he put her on his shoulder, he behind right next to his head, "Ah, much better....."

Shrike grinned, and used his hand to smack her behind, "How about that?"

"Right over there." Nijuu pointed to Grey's left. "They look ripe too."

Amalia tilted her head slightly. "Oh...is that how it is?" She asked, as she brushed her lips against his, then pulled away.

Grey walked her over to the tree, "Might i say, your butt makes a great head pillow." He chuckled, trying to make her blush.

Shrike grinned, as his mouth neared hers, "Oh yeah, that's how it is."

Amalia smiled playfully, as she splashed him again with her free hand.

Nijuu's face began to turn red, as Grey carried her. "Grey..." she looked down at him.

Grey looked up at her, his head resting on her bum, "Yes Nijuu?" He stopped under the pair tree.

Shrike rose his eyebrow again, his eyes very lustful at this moment.

Nijuu's face turned redder, as she reached for a pear. "You're doing this on purpose, love." She said, as she reached up for a second pear.

Amalia pulled away from Shrike slightly, with a playful smile on her face. "What are you going to do now...hmm?"

Grey rubbed his head against the side of her rear, "And why not, what's wrong with showing affection for the one I love?"

Shrike grinned, "Lets find out......" As he took her hands into his.

Nijuu placed the pears in her lap with the apples, and looked down at Grey, as he nuzzled her rear. "There's nothing wrong with it...but if I drop something on your head, you'll know why." She said with a playful giggle.

He could but smile, "And I'll forgive you, hehehehe......."  Grey continued to carry her around, "Now, what's next in our search for food?"

Nijuu thought for a moment. "Hmm...how about some peaches, and strawberries?" She looked down at Grey.

Amalia woke the next morning, her head on Shrike's chest. She looked at the disheveled bed, then to a peacefully slumbering Shrike, and smiled gently. She leaned towards him, and kissed his cheek.

Shrike continued to rest peacefully, his body completely drained, a peaceful expression covering his face.

Grey thought for a moment, "Well, lets hope some strawberries got planted here, and while I look for them, you keep an eye out for a peach tree."

Amalia rested her head on Shrike's chest, and closed her eyes, as she placed her wing over herself and Shrike. She slowly began to fall back to sleep.

Nijuu placed her hand on her forehead to shield her eyes from the sun, as she scanned the area. "There's one over there I think." She pointed to her right.
