Pheonix Down (Under New Ownership)

*laughs*
I'm sure this won't bother me too much.
I can't see my tongue to worry about it being a different color anyways.
*smiles then, softly and warmly into her eyes speaking genuinely*
I'd like that very much..

With a smile, Isabella pushed a bit of his hair out of his face so she could see his eyes, forgetting for a moment how close it would put them.
"Don't worry. the color fades after twenty four hours, most times after midnight if you dont want it. And...just let me know...whatever you want to see, alright? And i'll search my memories to find it."
Hmm...Oh dear...That's right...

*blinks and gazes into his own eyes through hers, drawing closer to her face absentmindedly so he can see clearly every detail of what they look like*
No..it's not a problem. I could use with a little color.
*smirks a little*
I'll....definitely let you know if it gives me an excuse to see you again..

Blushing a little, Isabella nodded, making very little movement though, not even pulling away from him.
"Alright...then," she squeaked.
This entire time, her azure hair had been fading to a soft, honey colored bronze, her eyes reverting to their normal hazel green; all illusion concerning her appearance had faded.

You know...you're the perfect personality match for me, Isabella.
I hope my being so close to you doesn't bother you..it's just, I've never seen my eyes before.

Shaking her head a little, Isabella smiled gently.
"N-not at all...I've just...never had someone so close to me..."
But I'm glad I can show you something you've never seen before...

*leans in slowly, going back to his own mind and kisses her lips softly*
Thank you...for everything.
*pulls away slowly*

Blinking in surprise, as he kissed her, Isabella kissed back, then looked up at him as he pulled away, shocked.
"What...was that...for...?" she whispered, curiously and in somewhat in awe. She'd never been kissed before.

Just..
*looks down, blushing*
I don't know, we were so close, and I just though I'd thank you. For giving me my sight back, even if it's only when I'm around you. I guess it just...felt like the right thing to do.
Yeah, that's it.

Smiling a little, Isabella moved his hair from his eyes again, lifting his face up.
"It...umm...really did...feel right," she murmured, blushing a bit more. "And if it...was a thank you...then...should this be...a 'your welcome'?"
With those last three words, she leaned up and pressed her lips to his once more, shyly.

*leans into her touch, kissing her back again, pulling away and blushing deeper*
I think that's...the best you're welcome I've ever received....

Antione walks into the shop and notices Alex with Isa.
"Oh... Alex... You're with Isa... that's great." Antione kisses Isa and Alex on their cheeks.
"You guys look so good together. I hope it works out between you two..."
Antione smiles at both of them then looks down. "I always wished someone would bring Isa more happiness. Thanks for doing that." Antione kisses Alex on the cheek again. "Take care of my sister for me, would you..."

Isabella blushed now, at what Antione said.
"A-Ant! H-He and I a-aren't..." she trailed off now, looking shyly up at Alexandre. "A-are we....?"
I...we don't have to be...if you don't want...i mean...my little sister...she's just....
Stumbling over even her thoughts now, Isbella closed her eyes tightly, reapplying the illusions to her appearance, and fell absolutely silent.

Umm..
*rubs the back of his neck sheepishly, blushing deep red*
I, don't know? Maybe...we should become better acquainted first?
*smiles and kisses the back of Isabella's hand*
W-will you go on a date....with me?
T-tonight maybe?

"She would love to!" Antoine says, smiling and grabbing Isa's shoulder. "She'll meet you at the beach at 7. Don't be late!" Antoine says, as she gives off a calming aura. "She won't miss it for the world."

Biting her lip softly, Isabella nodded, blushing more.
"S-sure...Absolutely..."

K..later then?
*smiles* I'll..meet you back here, and.....we can go out somewhere.
*kisses her cheek and waves, walking away*
I'll see you soon Isabella!

Raising her hand to brush her cheek, Isabella gulped softly and waved after Alex.
"Al-alright then," she whispered, shocked. "I'll...see you later..."

"YAY!! Isa has a date!" Antoine says, kissing Isa on the cheek. "I love you Isa, and I want you to be happy. Alex is a great guy. You should go out with him... Don't mind me, because it's your life and I want you to enjoy it..." Antoine says, smiling.

"Umm...I-I guess," Isabella stuttered.
She'd never gone out on a date, and this was such a surprise to be asked out the first time she met someone. Really, though. Alexandre seemed a very nice person. Hopefully this wouldn't end in disaster...

"Just remember, I want you to be happy, and if Alex can do that, that's fine by me. He seems like a perfect match for you. You're both sweet and nice. I'm your brother/sister and I'll stand by anything you choose, as long as it makes you happy. I love you for who you are. Never forget that."

Isabella smiled a little at Ant now.
"Thanks, Ant..."
Hopefully...this...doesn't go completely awry...

Antoine gives Isa a kiss.
"Don't worry. It's gonna go great. I'll be there if I can. I can give you pointers on how to woo guys... I am a boy myself, I don't forget, although being a girl is so much more fun..."
Antoine says, smiling at Isa.

This made Isabella laugh.
"Oh Ant what am I going to do with you! Do you even know which gender you like more?" she asked, jokingly, though curiously.

The chibi braeden, having fallen asleep on Ant's shoulder, sat up.
"Mmm...its much easier when you like both genders, you know," he laughed

"I love being a girl. I like being a boy. And I'll be a girl forever if it means making you happy... although I'm not sure if anyone will ever like me..."
Antoine says, sighing and drooping her head.
