I am still enjoying the story.

AWESOME!!!! i cant beleive i hadnt already read this.apologies!!! your work deserves to be complimented! you captured the characters perfectly, and the humor,sadnees etc. was balanced out perfectly!!!!

---

Sickeningly late, but the last chapter was awesome, and the two alone in a bedroom just screams for fun times!

(Still hoping for an alternate ending for the overall story, showing a side where Diego doesn't get poisoned by Dahalia.)

---

Sorry for the delayed reply, altohugh I'm only one chapter behind so it shouldn't matter!

Nice idea, going to kurain village and I'm looking forward to seeing what shenanagans Mia, Diego, Maya and Morgan get up to!

^heh heh heh heh heh!!! sorry, just the way you frased that!!!

---

Oh my god, I'm so sorry It's been so long sinse I updated! You'd think I'd update more regularly now it's my holiday but I've been busy and have a bit of writers block.

For instance, I know what I want to happen in say, the chapter after the one I'm writing atm but I'm having trouble finishing the the chapter off - if that makes any sense at all? I know. It really doesn't.

Anyways, expect and update soon and don't think I've lost interest in this project. While I do hope to write a book - which incidentally I have started to write - I will still have time to carry on with this. I'll update sometime before wednesday next week. That's a sort-of promise which I hope I can keep.

Hope everyone's well and you haven't all lost interest. Without my readers I'd have little to no reason to carry on with this!

---

Aw, I completely understand, Missile.x. Go ahead and take your time. The last thing you need is to rush through a chapter and make careless errors. ^^

---

No, that does make sense. There have been quite a few times where I write a story and I know what to put in a future chapter but am unsure of how to bridge the gap in between. Don't worry, it happens :)

Anyway, I basically agree with Lida_Rose. Don't worry too much about posting by a certain day. Take all the time you need to focus on the quality. And for the record, I still really like the story and haven't lost interest

---

Chess: Thank you! Getting feedback is always so awesome!

DefenseNeverRests: Glad you're enjoying it so much!

Nacholover23: Thanks ^_^

Lida_Rose: Well, here's the next update...finally.

WittyVitale: Yay, pleased to hear you're enjoying and think I'm still writeing in charecter.
And now for the other respoence -



C.Gholy: Yay, I hope you continue to!

ilygodot: Aww, thanks so much for the kind reveiw! I love having to readers!

Xanatos: Thanks, and I'm probably going to stick to cannon tbh but there's a chance I may write and alternative ending for anyone who wants to read it.

FlyingTotodile: "Shenanagans" - my new favourite word! Gald you thought it was good!

Thanks so much for the support everyone!

Now, onto the rather short chapter that took me weeks to write. Man, this had better be good...




Chapter thirty eight

Mia smiled triumphantly as finally everything was unpacked into the small room (which just about fitted a double bed into it) and looked fairly neat.

“I don’t understand Kitten, why couldn’t we just have lived out of our suitcases? We’re only here for the weekend!” Diego said raising his eyebrows as Mia placed their toothbrushes by the sink.

“Because, I hate doing that! I want my clothes neatly folded in the wardrobe.” She replied with her hands on her hips.

“Yeah, you might but I hate packing stuff back into the suitcase if I’m only staying for one day.”
“Whatever, seriously, does it really matter that much to you!?” She was starting to be bothered by him making such a huge deal out a tiny bit of packing. Then she saw his face fighting back laughing. “Geez Diego, do you just bother me for the fun of it sometimes!?”

“Yeah, and you love it.” He jeered in reply. “Though actually, if you want to know the truth…It was kinda nice seeing my stuff mixed in with yours.”

Mia had a feeling he was only half serious but still, she melted a little inside. As sarcastic and skeptical as Diego could be, sometimes he said the most romantic things to her.

He was inching closer to her now looking down on her intensely staring deep into her dark brown eyes. Her knees went weak, she loved looking at his eyes, and she felt as though she were falling deep inside them.

He know leaned in placing his hands on her waist as she spontaneously wrapped her around his neck, running them through his hair as their lips locked into a passionate embrace. She was so sure she was blushing furiously right now, she’d kissed guys like this before Diego and yet none of them had this kind of effect on her. Finally her knees gave way and they feel onto the bed, Diego falling on top of her and pressing his body up against her. His hands moved down from her waist until suddenly-

“Mia! Aunt Morgan says dinner is ready so be down in about five-“ Maya stopped suddenly her eyes wide, “Uh, by the looks of things you two might need a good ten minutes before you come downstairs. I’ll err, just go-“ she said trying to keep a straight face while blushing furiously.
Mia swore she heard her giggling as she walked off down the stairs.

“Oh wow, that was embarrassing…” Mia said, her cheeks still blushed red - partly because Maya had just walked in.

Even Diego look faintly embarrassed as he got up off the bed and stood up to stretch as if trying to shrug what had just happened off.

“We really ought to start getting ready for dinner, you know, putting on the official clothes and stuff. I know it’s not the ceremony but while here it’s really best to wear official robes…” Mia said, deciding it was probably a good idea to steer the subject away from what had just happened.

“Y-yeah, that’s a good idea.” He replied as Mia joined him in standing up and headed to the bathroom to get changed and freshen herself up. “I’ll be out in a moment Diego, your robes in the wardrobe, okay?”

Mia quickly slipped her robe on very aware dinner was nearly ready and feeling rather eager to get downstairs and set Maya straight that what she’d just witnessed, was in fact perfectly innocent, it had just looked exaggerated because they’d been lying down.

After styling her hair back into an elegant looking not on her head with stands of her chocolate brown hair falling down her back she hurriedly applied mascara and opened the door.
Diego turned around to see her and she couldn’t help but notice his jaw drop. “Oh wow, Kitten…you look- wow.”

“Don’t be silly, it’s just normal Kurain robes. I used to wear these things all the time. Look, I keep all my old ones in that chest over there.”

But he didn’t even turn around to look at where Mia had been pointing. He still seemed to be staring at her, his eyebrows now raised. “Seriously though, Mia, you look stunning in that.”
Rolling her eyes but smiling all the same she looked turned away and looked down at her old red silk robe in the mirror behind her. She had to admit it did make her look kind of, well…elegant. Not to mention she’d grown since she’d last worn it so fitted her with a tightness she’d never really had with it before.

“Mine on the other hand – well, that’s a different story.” Diego said gesturing at his clothes. “You can’t seriously expect me to wear this thing…can you?”

“Diego, there’s nothing wrong with it!” she exclaimed not suddenly realizing that he seemed to be wearing what looked a little like a lilac silk dressing gown.

This caused him to raise his eyebrows. “Mia, you’ve got to be joking, I’ll look like a prat if I go down to dinner in this!”

“It really isn’t that bad.” It was bad. She was now finding it increasingly harder to contain her laughter. “Okay, maybe it is a bit…effeminate? But it’s what my Aunt picked out for you. If you don’t wear it now you’ll look really rude. I’d say it’s probably her revenge for indicating we don’t have any real powers so if you don’t wear this one, she’ll probably pick you a nice pink one out next.”

“Oh, geez, looks like I’m stuck with it then.”

“Looks like you are.” She said, rather enjoying being the smug person in the relationship, for once.




----------
Lol at Diego's "robe". Hope people like the chapter!

---

“I don’t understand Kitten, why couldn’t we just have lived out of our suitcases? We’re only here for the weekend!” Diego said raising his eyebrows as Mia placed their toothbrushes by the sink.

“Because, I hate doing that! I want my clothes neatly folded in the wardrobe.” She replied with her hands on her hips.
--------
Good stuff. Good stuff. I agree with Diego.


Mia had a feeling he was only half serious but still, she melted a little inside. As sarcastic and skeptical as Diego could be, sometimes he said the most romantic things to her.
-----
Romantic? What? Did my romance radar die? XD

Evil is Morgan. Diego shouldn't wear a silk dressing gown. <.<
He's too good looking to deserve such punishment! XD

Anyways, carry on. I lol'ed at the Maya bursting in, but knew it was to be expected.

---

Hahaha Maya walking in. That was a really sweet part, though.

---

Hahaha! Cruel Aunt Morgan is cruel, forcing Diego to wear that kind of robe. xD

And I loled at Maya walking in. ^^

Can't wait for the next part.

---

Hmm, I found this chapter to be rather sexy, with Mia and Diego getting so passionate and all. I loved when Maya walked in on them and turned the situation really awkward. And of course imagining Diego in a girly silk robe is just priceless. I loved this chapter, it was well worth the wait :D

---

Of course Maya had to walk in. The story wouldn't be complete without her doing that. Aunt Morgan is evil, so I'm not suprised that Diego is in the robe. Anyone want to draw a pic of that? Lolz. Awesome job! Update soon!

Great chapter! I loved the bit where Maya walked in on them! I was expecting Morgan to walk in though, which woulda been a lot worse, so its probs better that she didnt!!!
And Diego in his girly robe made me laugh XD

---

I loved this chapter, it was a good read and the bit where Maya walked in was cute.

Yay!Really cute!
heh heh, Maya walked in!!
NOoooooooooooooooo! HOw dare she!??? Diego is too fitt to be dressed like a pansy!!!
Really good! I dont really tihnk that Mia's the kind of character to swear though.

---

Hang on, tight yet elegant, that's a look i'd expect difficult to pull off, especially in red!

Other than that, this is a good chapter which must please everyone who yearns for Miego steamyness! It even has the predictable Maya bursting in part!

I like the touch brought on by Diego's rediculous robe though and I'm looking forward to seeing the response at the dinner table brought on by both of the robes and their aforementioned steamyness!

^^
could turn into a foodfight

---

nice, ! i could picture diego in his 'gown'. !

Heyy :) 300th Post!!!!!


Long time no see everyone. So I finally did another chapter, hope it's okay and worth the wait- excuse my references to Japanese food. I know noting about it practiaclly so I'm proably talknig complete rubbish- I got all the dishes off the internet. I just assumed they might eat some Japanese food in Kurian village for some reason.


Chess: Thanks for the reveiw. Morgan is pretty evil- she's also quite difficult to write for as well.

DefenseNeverRests: Haha, of course Maya had to burst in- a few peopel suggested it and it seemed like an obvious thing to happen so I went with it.

WittyVitale: Haha, the girly robe- It just seemed like the kind of thing that Morgan would do to get petty revenge on Diego for the cooment about channeling.



Nacholover23: Thanks for reading and glad you enjoyed it!

kitty_sneeze: Morgan walkign in, eh? Hmm, new ideas are coming to me, lmao. That wouldn't have been worse! Thanks for reading!

Chloebabes: Thank youu!

ilygodot: Lmao, did I make mia swear in the last chapter? I think I've done that before actually lol (when Penny caught her and Diego kissing?)- Practically all adults will swear occasionally- even the ones you'd never expect it of. Thanks for reading!

FlyingTotodile: Okay, maybe that discription didn't make much sense...I'm sure Mia still managed to pull it off though. Perhaps it was a littel predictable- still, I know it's what everyone wanted to happen lol- especially since I don't put enough Miego scenes in anyway, I mean it could be worse- I could make this all NC-17 and do a Miego sex scene! (Which of course I wouldn't do- It'd probably be badly writen anyway.)

~Jenny~: Haha, thanks!


Now onto the story-

Chapter thirty nine

Diego was breathing heavily through his nose as they walked down the stairs in the main hall. She assumed this was because of the heavy resentment he was feeling for having to wear his robe to dinner after all. Diego was having an awfully time hard time seeing the funny side of the situation. Perhaps this was one of those things that in the years to come, they’d look back at and laugh. But then, judging from the look on his face….maybe not.

“This really isn’t funny.” He muttered under his breath to her as they entered the dining room. It was decorated with red and lilac orb-like lanterns that hung from the ceiling. Mia sniggered.

“Oh look, Diego- the lanterns match your robe!” she said, in a mock- excited voice. A false smile flashed across his face.

“Oh ha-ha, maybe you should quit your job as a lawyer and become a comedian?”

“Well Diego, with amusing come-backs like that, I think it is you, not I, who should be the comedian.” She said, patronizingly. He opened his mouth to reply but decided now they were sitting at the table, it would be rude to continue there little jibes at one another.

Mia now realized they’d come down a little early and that dinner hadn’t even been served yet but as she thought this Maya entered the room dressed in a robe quite similar to Diego’s only much smaller and tied with a pink ribbon around her waste.

Looking at Mia’s dress as she sat down, she smiled. “Wow, Mia, you look so beautiful!” she then glanced at Diego, “And you look very beautiful too, Diego!” Both Mia and Maya then collapsed into a fit of giggles.

“Ha-ha, go on, laugh it off then ladies. I happen to be comfortable enough with my sexuality to-“

“Wear women’s clothes? Yeah- I think there’s a phrase for men who do that-“ Mia chipped in.

“That’s not fair Mia! You know full well your aunt picked this out for me!” he said, incredulously.

“I know, sorry. I couldn’t resist joining in . . .” she said, pouring herself a drink and wondering when the other seats at the table would be filled. How many people were dining with them this evening? There were still a good four chairs that were empty.

“Oh, I was actually wondering about the robe.” Maya began. “You seemed such a conventional dresser back in the city. It did surprise me a little but own if my Aunt chose it for you, it all makes sense.” She winked at him. “I believe that’s where you got it from.”

“I really am telling the truth!” he said. “Honestly!”

“I know, and I believe you.” Maya repeated, re-enforcing her wink this time.

Mia smiled. “That’s enough now Maya, more people are arriving.” She said, glancing over at the door to see a group of people she vaguely recognized enter the room.

“Aunt Lily! I haven’t seen you in ages!” Mia exclaimed. Lily wasn’t really her aunt, she was just Morgan’s best friend and so they always addressed her as “Aunt”. She was vaguely related to them and so still belonged to the Fey clan- how distant this relation was, Mia was unsure of. She also knew Lily’s children, Leah and Liam. She’d always gotten along well with both of them; in fact, Mia had even had a crush on Liam at once point. Luckily, she’d grown out of it.

Lily smiled, “Mia! It’s very nice to see you again. Why have you even visited since you decided to up and leave for the city?” Mia liked Lily; she had noticed that sometimes she sounded a little…tactless; generally she didn’t mean any harm though. Mia still felt a twinge of annoyance at having her departure described as “upping and leaving”.

“No, I’ve been really busy. My bad, still, now I’m settled in I’ll probably find it far easier to visit.” She replied as Lily, Liam and Leah sat down. Mia smiled at them all, “It’s so nice to see all of you guys as well!” she exclaimed, looking at Leah and Liam. They smiled back at her a little shyly. She knew why, they hadn’t seen her in months, it was always weird and a little awkward seeing friends after long distances of time not seeing them.

At that point Morgan walked in with a tray, “I hate to break up this little reunion but could I have a little help with the food?”

“Sure, I and Diego will help.” Mia said, attempt number one to get my Aunt to like Diego she thought.

He leaned in and whispered quietly in her ear. “Mia, what the hell do you think you’re doing? I can’t stand up and let everyone see my clothes!”

“Don’t be silly, by hiding your showing your embarrassment already, show you’re not embarrassed!”

“But I am." he said, quietly under his breath. Mia ignored him and stood up and headed into the next room to collect a tray of food. Diego followed, gritting his teeth. Mia could have sworn she heard Lily ask “Why is that man wearing a woman’s robe?” Despite how funny she was finding it, she half hoped Diego hadn’t heard. He’d never cared what people thought about him before, why the change of attitude?

She grabbed a tray and Diego did too. As they carried them back in the talking had already began. And as the food was placed onto the table people began to serve themselves straight away.

“I’m sooo hungry!” Maya remarked, slinging her fifth spoon of Kare Raisu down onto her plate.

“Me too.” Mia said, eating a forkful. God it tastes so good! I’d forgotten what good cooking tasted like. After all, Mia had pretty much been living on micro-meals and ready-meals since she’d moved away. She’d cooked dinner for Diego a couple of times- literally a couple of times though. Mia was not a good cook, the only reason she’d cooked for him twice was that Diego had given her another chance. It had not been successful at all. “Aunt Morgan, this is so nice!” She remarked, shoveling it down now.

Morgan nodded in reply, “Thank you Mia. I’m glad it’s to your liking.”

“This is probably the nicest thing I’ve eaten in years. I actually mean that too. Have you tasted Mia’s cooking?” Diego added- perhaps this was an attempt to get into Morgan’s good books?

“Oh ha-ha, I’m not that bad…well okay, I am. Still, I can’t help it.”

“Don’t be silly Mia; cooking’s a very simple art. All that’s required is the ability to read a recipe.” Lily said, clearly enjoying her food a lot too.

“Perhaps that’s true when you’re cooking amateur dishes but skills are involved whilst cooking the more complicated dish.” Morgan said, clearly offended at being told cooking involved no skill at all.

“You’re aunt’s right, Mia. After all, you can read and yet you’re still an awful cook.” Diego added.

What a suck up. “You’re Aunt’s right Mia.” What’s next? “Bow down to your Aunt, Mia.”

“Hmm, I guess so.” Mia replied, rather lamely.

“So anyway, Mia-” Liam finally spoke. “How’s life in the city treating you?”

“Oh, err really good thanks.” She decided it probably wasn’t a good idea to go into the whole “My first ever client died because I pushed him too far on the witness stand” and “I was framed and accused of murder” thing. It didn’t seem suitable for light conversation.

“I settled into my job well and I’ve made lots of friends since moving.” Once again, she decided it wasn’t a good idea to mention how “the first friend I made hated me as I accidentally feel in love with her boyfriend. Then, he dumped her, went out with me instead. Oh, but it’s okay now- she’s dead now because a loan shark murdered her because of the gambling debts she’d acquired.”

“I’m sure you’ve made a lot of friends, Mia-” Lily began. ”–And by the looks of things-“ she glanced over at Diego. “-More than friends.”

“O-oh,” Mia replied, a little startled at Lily’s forwardness. “Yeah, this is Diego everyone. He works at the same law firm as me.”

“Ooooh, I working relationship, eh? Sounds exciting- how’d you two get together then?” Lily questioned further, causing Mia’s cheeks to glow. She really didn’t want to go into this right now.

She swallowed, “Well-“

“No, no, Mia. Allow me to tell the story.” Diego cut across. “See, it all started on Mia’s first day. It rained so heavily she arrived at our law office completely drenched to the bone. Of course, she still looked stunningly beautiful to me.” He caught Mia’s eye and winked. “And well, unfortunately I was seeing someone at the time but Mia’s heart had captured mine so irrevocably that I was forced to end things with significant other that very afternoon. Of course, she was heart broken but these things are all about honesty, really aren’t they?”
Mia didn’t think this was a particularly romantic story at all- Diego had completely glorified himself to make himself seem truthful. Mia could see right through this tactic but Maya, Lily and Leah all seemed to be captivated by every one of Diego’s words- so much so that they were nodding slightly as if beckoning him to continue the story. Here we go- Mia thought looking up at the ceiling, practically praying Diego wouldn’t say anything too embarrassing.

“When I saw her the second time- later that lunch- I instantly knew I’d done the right thing. She looked more divine than ever- I asked if she wanted to go out for a drink sometime and I was over the moon to hear that she would. And here we are today- still together- which I deeply hope is how the future will be.”

Mia frowned- Diego saw me for the second time when he caught me eves dropping outside Grossberg’s office! This stories complete rubbish!

“Aww, that’s so adorable!” Maya exclaimed. “But I could have sworn Mia said when I came to visit that-“

“That that was exactly how me and Diego got together.” Mia gave her a look. She wasn’t exactly thrilled with Diego’s story but in all fairness he’d just used his talents - (gloating about his excellence and bluffing) - to avoid telling the complicated truth.

Looking slightly confused Maya blinked and caught on. “Oh yeah, I remember now. Aww, you guys are such a cute couple- maybe not the most innocent couple ever but-“

“Thanks Maya! We are a cute couple, it’s nice of you to say so, sis!” Mia cut across her. She already felt pretty embarrassed about Maya seeing her and Diego earlier- she hardly needed Maya to relay the information in to everyone else. Feeling increasingly uncomfortable now she glanced around to look at peoples plates to see where they were empty or not. They were but at that very moment Morgan stood up and announced that pudding would be served shortly.

“So Mia,” Leah said, speaking for the first time in the evening. “Was your new flat expensive?”

“Uh, well, it’s a really nice place- only one bedroom-“

“Well I guess one bedroom is all you need Mia since-“ Maya but across before Mia did the same to her in return-

-“Since I live alone, yes, I do only need one room.” Mia said, smiling falsely at Maya, knowing full well what she was getting at. “I’m really lucky since Aunt Morgan paid for everything.

Mia saw Diego sit up straight- possibly noticing a chance to compliment Morgan, before realizing she’d gone to prepare pudding- he slumped back in his chair again.

“Too right you’re lucky!” Lily began- “Don’t you be expecting me to do that for you, Li.”

Mia was confused. “What? Are you moving to the city, Liam?”

“Yeah, I’m nearly twenty-one now.” He replied.

“Oh yeah, I forgot about that tradition.” Mia said, remembering that the Fey men- at the age of twenty-one often moved away to the city, once they were considered fully legal adults. It was highly unusual for a Fey woman to move to the city like she had. Still- she was far happier this way even if her spiritual powers would have been helpful to the village.

“Are you excited?” she asked, looking at him.

“Yeah, should be fun- It’s nice here and everything but it sucks that I haven’t really had a chance to train in a profession since I can’t exactly channel, can I?”

“Good point- They ought to lower the age in my opinion, it’s pretty unfair that men miss out of those vital years of uni or college. It was okay for me, I got to study from here and commute. I guess you’ll be starting from scratch then?”

“Yep, I’m actually starting uni 3 years late.” He looked a little embarrassed at this. “Still, a good jobs important in case I need to raise a family.”

Lily looked a little cross now, “Well let’s not get ahead of ourselves. You’re far too young to be thinking of a family! And lowering the age would be a terrible idea! He’d have been taken off me years ago if that happened!”

“Well I guess it’s just lucky that it’s not being lowered then, eh mom?” Liam said, looking a little guilty. Mia assumed it was probably pretty hard for him to be moving away after living in such a close family all his life. Leah would probably miss him too- she knew they were close.

“You don’t need worry about it much Aunt Lily- It’s not a train journey to get here- I’m sure Liam will be able to visit lots.” Diego said, deciding to chip in on the conversation.

“Then why doesn’t Mia visit more often then?” Lily said, raising her eyebrows.

Maya grinned, “Because she’s all loved up with Diego of course . . . platonically, obviously.” She continued seeing the murderous look on Mia’s face.

“Desert is served.” Morgan said, walking in with a tray- “It’s Ujikintoki Kakigori - I’ve never made it before-”

“-But I’m sure it’ll be delicious all the same.” Diego added.

She smiled – somewhat falsely at Diego. “Thank you Mr. Armando, that’s very kind of you to say.”

“Um, Mr. Armando- If you don’t mind me asking . . .” Leah piped up. “Why are you wearing . . . a girls channeling robe?”

Diego’s tanned cheeks blushed a little. “Oh, err . . . Ms. Fey picked it out for me.”

Mia could have sworn she saw Morgan smirk a little at this before looking up and saying- “Oh dear, did I accidentally pick you a woman’s robe?”

“Oh, I only just noticed myself- It’s fine-“Mia was sure she heard Diego mutter “Easy mistake to make” under his breath very quietly.

“I’ll attempt to sort you out a male one for Pearls ceremony tomorrow, my apologies to you, Mr. Armando.” She said, formally.

“As long as it’s not too much trouble,” he said, mirroring Morgan’s formal tone.

Smelling the beginnings of a possible dispute Diego coughed- “Wow, I’m sooo tired! I’m gonna have to go to bed soon.”

“I bet you are.” Maya said, winking.

“Don’t be so immature Mystic Maya!” Morgan said, sternly. “If Mr. Armando wishes to retire to her room he may- It’s been a very long day. In fact, I think the rest of us should follow perhaps- it’s getting past your bedtime Mystic Maya. It’s already well past nine.”

“I’m twelve!” Maya said, incredulously. “It’s still so early!”

“When I was your age Maya- I had to go to bed at seven-thirty so you should really count yourself lucky, Maya.” Mia said, smiling and enjoying getting her revenge. This wasn’t at all true- she’d probably been settling down at about ten at the age of twelve.

Morgan nodded, “Then it’s settled then- time for bed Maya- off you go!”

Maya narrowed her eyes at Mia. “Fine then! But only if Mia has to though!”

Mia smiled graciously. “That’s fine with me, I’m beat anyway. Good night everyone. Thanks for the lovely meal, Aunt Morgan.”

“Then I’ll definitely go now, I might accidentally wake her when I go up if I don’t go now. It’s like waking a lion, I swear. Night everyone- thanks for the meal Ms. Fey.”

And with that Mia, Maya and Diego headed off upstairs.





-----------
I know what you're thinking- how did none of the other guests notice how often Mia, Maya and Diego wink at eachother?

. . . and to that question - I have no answer. I guess they're just very unobservant people.

YAY update. <3
I enjoyed this chapter, I thought it was funny at this bit.
“Oh ha-ha, maybe you should quit your job as a lawyer and become a comedian?”

“Well Diego, with amusing come-backs like that, I think it is you, not I, who should be the comedian.” She said, patronizingly.
Diego would make a good comedian. haha.

Hey, it makes sense if they didn't see it. If people tell me something, I have to be listening, or else it flies over my head. Lolz. Awesome job! Morgan hates Diego, doesn't she? Do I see some potential rivalry between Diego and Liam? That would totally add to the story. Awesome job and update soon!

Yaaaay, Missile's back!! And she wrote a new chapter! This makes today a good day ^_^ Loved the chapter, I like your new OCs. I also like the ritual you came up with for the Fey men. And I loved this exchange:



I loudly LOLed at that. This was definitely worth the wait, great job.

---

HA! I read this while I'm supposed to be taking a Critical Reasoning exam. Take that, society!

Anyway, this was definitely worth the wait. I laughed a lot when reading this chapter. :)

I can't wait for the next update.

---

That was excellent :)
Definitely worth the wait. Maya is still the epic character. Heh heh. Your characterisation is so realistic!


'She also knew Lily’s daughters, Leah and Liam.' - Sorry for being pickity, but is Liam a girl? Heh Heh.


'She grabbed and tray' Did you mean a tray?

I like the idea that Mia can't cook - in most fanfics they make her out to be perfect, and she's not. It adds reralism to it.
Diego's extra niceness has a reward at least!!

Your writing flows really well, and is so good that any errors don't matter at all

When more stoty???

I wanna read next part!

---

Chloebabes: Yay! I love making people laugh and having a balance of serious chapters and not so serious chapters. Thanks for reading :)

Nacholover23: Me too, I have this movie that me and my friend watch all the time - like everytime we have a sleepover (which if quite often). I realized after about the fourth time I watched it that I'd never fully understood the ending. This is especially sad since It was made by disney- it really shodul have been easy to follow. Everyone else undertood the loop in the plot except me. How I laughed . Thanks for the reveiw. Oh, just to add- there won't be a rivalry between Liam and Diego because Mia used to have a crush on him but got over it. Besides, she's totally in love with diego anyway. My natural instincts told me I should add a rivalry between them but i don't want to make the story too soap-like. It would have been fun to write though.

WittyVitale: Thanks for the warm welcome! Haha, it was a fun chapter to write what with all the making-fun-of-Diego-for-wearing-a-lilac-robe. So gald you liked it!



Lida_Rose: Who needs critical reasoning when you have Ace attorney fanfics to read? I don't blame you for your choice lmao. Glad you enjoyed the chapter!

ilygodot: Thank you so much for pointing those errors out! Lmao, when i read soem of them they made me laugh, especially "Is Liam a girl?" lmao. I've writen her far from perfect in some chapters- in fact some chapters she comes off sounding pretty immature and all that stuff with Diego and Penny too! Thanks so much for the reveiw, it was really usful to me. I can't beleive I didn't see some of those mistakes.


Though I haven't started the next chapter yet but I will soon, it shouldn't be too long. :-/ But then, I always say that, don't I? Okay, I hope it won't be too long, I won't make any promises this time though.

Hope everyone's well :)

Nice natural speech and realistic topics of conversation. Some nice Oc's as well make the dinner a more open and realistic affair. However, your grammar is poor in parts and some of the phrasing seemed a little clunky.

Finishing on a plus however, the story appears to be coming along very nicely and with a great deal of empathy for the characters. So much so that I desperately hope that Diego gets a new robe before the ceramany!

Haha! Poor Diego, and Mia with his digs at her cooking! XD

earlier chapter-



Reminds me of a certain someone I know in real life. I loved this part XD

Looking forward to moar :3

Take all time needed! Its worth the wait. :):)
I loves this story. I'd like to make it into an animation or make a trailer for it, but im not that great... *mumble mumble*

And im always happy to help! :)

It's a real short one because I wanted the ned to sound kinda dramatic and this seemed like a good point to cut off for a new chapter. I've already started writing the next chapter though since this ones very short.


FlyingTotodile: Thanks :), my grammar isn't good tbh. But then you've been reading this for a while so you already knew that.

Jacks: Haha, I love the repore between those two. They're such awesome charecters.

ilygodot: It would be cool to make a game out of it except there's no where near enough trials and I hate writing trials. I love the dramatic stuff. Thanks, I think the most this story could be made into would be a really dramatic trailer.





Chapter forty


“Geez, this is so unfair,” Maya muttered as they reached the corridor where Maya’s room was. “I’m not even tired!”

“So? Just because you’ve been sent to bed, doesn’t mean you have to sleep.” Mia said in reply, raising her eyebrows.

“Oh, I know that. Still, its soooo boring in my room, at least you guys have each other.”
Diego snorted, “You might think that sounds okay but I have to put up with her snoring.”

“I don’t snore! I just have respiratory problems. I bet you can just hear yourself snoring in your sleep.” Mia began, getting flared up for an argument.

“Right….If you don’t snore, I don’t like coffee, wink, wink.” He said, raising his eyebrows and nudging her side.

“Whoa,” Maya said, “I’m not getting dragged into this. Suddenly going to bed doesn’t seem so bad.” She laughed. “Night you two.”

“Goodnight Maya.” They said in union walking down the corridor to their room.

“But seriously, I don’t snore.” Mia said, wanting the last word for once.

“Okay, If you say so-“

“Agree with me Diego. Otherwise this will come back to haunt you.”

“Is that a threat? Is the Kitten getting her claws out?”

“Hmph, you just made a powerful enemy, Diego Armando.” She said, frowning slightly. She was only half serious and besides, she didn’t snore.

He smiled and slipped his arm around his waste as they walked through their door. “So do you reckon your aunt will really get me a new robe?”

“Um, that depends on whether or not she found your constant sucking up to her endearing or slimy.” She smiled, “Personally I found it just a tad slimy but you never know.”

“Great. And it’s really uncomfortable; I have to keep on re-tying it up. Do spirit mediums really have to wear these things all the time?”

“Yeah, one of the perks of moving away I guess. Though I don’t mean to sound big- headed, I was a pretty good medium.”

“R-really? You?” He said as his eyebrows rose and he collapsed down onto the bed. He took his arms and rested them behind his head supporting it.

“Don’t sound so surprised!” she said feeling genuinely insulted, why wouldn’t I be!?”

“No, I just assumed that because you left you weren’t that good.”

“For your information Diego, I LEFT because I didn’t want to fight with my sister over the place of the master!” She said, feeling pretty angry now. How dare he insult her channeling skills? Okay, so maybe they were a bit rusty by now but she was confident she’d be perfectly capable of channeling someone right now. “Fine. Don’t believe me then.” she said not even giving him a chance to answer her. “I’ll channel some one for you, right here, right now. Has anyone in your family died?”

He now looked uncomfortable and very much to Mia’s surprise psyche locks sprang in front of him. “No, too bad I guess. You won’t be able to test your genius channeling skills after all, will you?” His tone was airy and light but she could see it as a blatant act to look natural.

She stared at him, “Don’t lie to me.” She replied, knowing she didn’t have to lie about her Magatama any longer. She’d told Diego a while ago about it, round about the time she’d explained about channeling and her family. Still, she’d noticed he’d stopped even attempting to lie to her after that. The psyche locks were so dark they were almost black. This was one heck of a secret, perhaps even a repressed memory of some kind?

He gave her a strange look. “I’m not lying Mia, honestly. Why on earth would I lie about something like that?”

“But my Magatama-“

“Your Magatama is wrong then.” he said forcefully in a tone that told her the conversation was very much over.

The next chapter might be quite long so who knows how long it'll take me to finish. Hope everyone likes it though nothing much happens.

Yikes, looks like things aren't looking too good for Diego.

Psyche-locks always spark my intrigue B] Wonder what could be haunting him?

Oooh, I'm intrigued now! What's Diego's big secret...??? Hurry up and finish the next chapter!!! (No pressure...) Just kidding, take your time and make it great!

Wow. Must...Read...Next...Chapter!

Repressed memories. Ooh. Can't wait to see what they are. Now excuse me while I go back to attempting to write my stupid argumentative research paper.

He insulted the Magnatma (spelling?)! How dare he!!! That makes sense. Awesome job and update soon!!!!

I love this fanfiction! I just started reading it a couple of days ago and Im already through the forty chapters. Its so addictive!!
I love your wrighting style! You take it slow but not deathly slow.
Oh, and, I was never really a big Miego shipper before I started reading this, but now thats changed completely!
Now its my most favorite shipping!
I will definitely keep reading the whole way through and hopefully I will remember to comment after every chapter now that I've caught up.

Thats reallli realli lovely! But dang diego...
I loves the way you've written this! :)

heh heh snoring.

there is still a couple of spelling mistakes, but i think i only spotted two, nd they aren't noticable. :)

did i forget to mention... Missile. x for the win!!! :) i loves this fic!

Not to stray off topic at all, but I'd love to make a wallpaper with Mia and Diego (this fanfic really got me into the idea) but I cant find any good official artwork of Diego!! btw, Here's one I just made for all you Mia fans. =)

This is a great story! I can't wait for the next part, it's really good!

Sorry for lurking XD

Okay, so i may actually cry with happiness. It's actually allowing me to post here.

So i know i'm not the most regular poster here but this time it's not even my fault xD. The reason i haven't posted in ages is that I'd pretty much given up on ever being able to get on here again. Thing is, I'm having real trouble logging in but i'm pretty sure it's my computer's problem not Court records'. The problem is that everytime i log on from my home computer the minute i change pages it logs me out. I've tried pretty much everything- clearing my cookies, emailing an admin, making a new account. Nothing would work! The good news is (if people aren't completely bored of this story as i haven't posted in months) I can post because it seems that it's just my computer and that i can log on from my brothers laptop. Therefore i can post my new chapters by emailing them here and posting them once they're written. The next chapter is a working progress since I'd pretty much given up on ever posting on here again so i stopped writing. I'm so happy to join everyone again and providing something doesn't go wrong again expect the next chapter soon.

Thanks for every one of the comments. I'll try and personally reply to all of them.
