Celly bolted from the room as fast as humanly possible, shoving Remy in front of her. "Faster!" she yelled. "Run faster!"

With the last bit of will she had left, Celly shoved Remy *hard* and out through the single door the room possessed. Celly made leap and flew through the door as well. Struggling, she reached up and slapped the wall panel, closing and locking the door behind more security than insanely possible.

Celly lay on the floor, panting. Her eyes were shut tight in concentration. "... Endymion..." she kept repeating to herself. "... Atashi wa... Endymion no Otaku... Endymion... Endymion... Endymion..."

A giggle caught her attention, and Celly looked up and saw Remy leaning against the wall, breathing hard as well. An ecstatic look was plastered across her face as she stared at the object in her hands. Celly's eyes widened. It was... it was...

A white trenchcoat with yellow trim.

"I can't believe you stole that!" Celly exclaimed, impressed by Remy's daring.

"I didn't steal it!" Remy replied, still staring at the jacket.

"No wonder we had to run so fast! You stole it!"

"I didn't steal it!" Remy yelled again. "I just... borrowed it. I'll return it next time." She giggled softly and cradled the jacket. "Do you think I could try it on?" she said in a soft voice.

Celly laughed and pulled herself off the floor. "Heck, you stole it. You might as well take a chance and try it on."

"I didn't steal..." Remy's voice trailed off as she slipped her arms into the coat. The white trench nearly engulfed her small frame, but Remy was too enraptured to notice.

Celly stared at the unmarked door for a moment before turning back to Remy. She sweatdropped. "Ano... ano... Remy-chan? You're drooling."

Remy snapped out of it. "Uso desu! I was not!" She fixed the collar of the jacket with an impatient tug. "I still think you're crazy for trying this. Do you know what the ramifications would be on Bishounen World?"

"Hey! You fully supported me, okay? Besides, *I'm* not the one wearing a stolen trenchcoat!"

"I didn't steal it! I'm going to return it! Do you want me to return it now?"

"Heck no. I'm not letting you back in for a while yet. It takes a while to get accustomed to the Room. If I let you in *now* you might try to take someone's pants."

"Hidoi!!!"

Then the two girls broke down giggling.

"Now I know why you didn't want Dionysus and Mamoru-sama to follow us. You were right... they *would* get pissed."

Celly smiled. "Hey, it's not everyday I come up with a master plan like this. No one will see it coming. Now, let's get back to Special Ops to cool down for a bit. We can go back in a couple of hours."

Remy nodded and followed Celly down the twisting passages of Castle Anthrax.

"Are you going to take that jacket off?"

"I will when I return it."
