As Lucy let herself into Sei and Luna's room, she saw that Sei was pacing back and forth across the room, muttering to herself.
"As if I can be stolen. . . . so insulting. . . . Who does Rina think she is? . . . Thinks she's so much better than us. . . . Grrrrrrrr! . . ."
Lucy waiting until one of the gaps between mutterings to interject "We'll just have to show her what's what, won't we?"
Sei stopped short, for the first time noticing that there was someone else in the room with her. "Oh! Umm, hi Lucy. What was that you were saying?"
"Oh," Lucy said, sitting down on Sei's bed and reclining, "I was just saying we'd show Rina what's what, you know. By us being happy over here while she's still freaking out every time anyone so much as breathes in Elly's direction."
"And what does that have to do with us?"
"You know," Lucy said, examining her fingernails. "At least, I think you do." She looked up at Sei. "Do you know where Suyeon is right now?"

Lucy nodded. "It means," they both said at once, "that if our girlfriends become girlfriends then we can be girlfriends again!"
Lucy threw her arms around Sei in a big hug and they both collapsed laughing.

Doyeon leaned down and kissed Yoojung. "I still wear that lipstick, too - it doesn't kiss off!" And she kissed Yoojung again.
"So..." Yoojung said, once she was able to reclaim , "what do we think our maknae is up to?"
"Well, let's see," Doyeon said, "I've got a feeling she was somehow behind Lua and Suyeon leaving dinner together tonight."
Yoojung nodded. "And she got me monologuing about polyamory this afternoon."
Doyeon stopped and thought a moment. "So apparently she's planning polyamory. So the question is 'is she interested in polyamory for just her, Suyeon, Sei, and Lua, or are is she wanting to get the rest of us involved in this too?'"
Yoojung thought for a second. "Given the way she was trying to change Rina's mind at dinner, I'd say she's trying to get Rina and Elly involved. And have you ever known Lucy to stop short of the most extreme
