Since tomorrow was Valentine’s Day, everyone was getting in the romantic mood, the kind of mood that made Mise throw up in his mouth.

Yes he had a girlfriend and he did enjoy romance, but he wasn’t the kind of guy that tended to show his ‘emotional’ side or at least.

“Mise, I know you don’t like showing your less-hardened side, but please try not to ruin this for me.” Octavia said as she held onto Mise from behind as they drove to school

“Fine, but only because this the first valentine’s day I won’t be spending alone.” Mise said plainly

“Wait, you mean to tell me you’ve never had a valentine?” Octavia asked

“Nope, I’d always try, but just ended up spending it locked away in my room trying to drown my sorrows in a liquor bottle.” Mise said somberly

“Oh Mise, I'm sorry that happened to you, but you have me now.” Octavia said

“Yeah, you’re right, just wait till you see where I'm taking you tomorrow.” Mise said smirking slightly

“Oh are we going to a fancy restaurant?” Octavia asked

“Nope, even better.” Mise said knowing where this was headed

“Are we going to the movies, or the park, or how about the lake?” Octavia questioned

“Nope none of those either, but you’ll find out in a minute. I want to tease our friends, but not in a mean way.” Mise said smirking

Mise pulled up to the school and parked in the usual spot. He got out and helped Octavia down

They walked over to the gang who were standing by the statue, discussing their own plans for the next day.

“I'm probably going to take midnight to a nice restaurant.” Eclipse said

“I'm not sure what I'm going to do, but as long as I'm with indigo it’ll be a good time.” Fang said

“Top o’ the morning to ye lads an’ lassies!” Mise said walking up the group

"And the rest of the day to you” a boy with a white quicksilver shirt, black quicksilver jacket, blue jeans and combat boots. He had messy black hair, red eyes, and tanned skin.

“Oh, I see we have a new comer to the group. Welcome to CHS. My name’s Mise and this my girlfriend Octavia.” Mise said

“Nice to meet you two, I'm atlas.” Atlas said shaking their hands

“So did you really just drive up in a tank?” atlas asked

“That I did. It’s a fully restored, vintage WWII, Panzer VI tank.” Mise said proudly

“Mise, before you go on one of your tangents about your life, can you please tell me where you’re taking me tomorrow?” Octavia asked

“Fine, you know my grandfather’s island?” Mise asked

“You mean the one we ended up shipwrecked trying to get to?” Octavia asked

“Yes, well I'm going to take you there, not the island we wrecked near, the one we were trying to get to. I checked the weather reports, and there’s no signs of bad weather.” Mise said reassuringly

“Wait your grandfather has an island? Is your family like rich or something?” atlas asked

“Well technically yes, but I don’t like to flaunt my wealth. My grandfather was a banker back in the 20’s. He hit it big-time and divided his fortune amongst my family. But not before building a place for us to go to, like a private vacation spot.” Mise explained

“Oh, ok.” Atlas said

“Well we better get inside before the bell rings.” Vinyl said

And with that everyone went inside

Time skip: after school

Mise and Octavia were currently driving down to the docks to get a head start on Valentine ’s Day.

Mise found out that Atlas probably wasn’t going to have a date for the occasion so he called Ironsides to let him know so he can escort him into the whiskey cellar. And since Atlas was new, Mise decided to let him choose any bottle from the whiskey cellar.

Mise pulled up to the dock and got out

“So are you sure about this Mise?” Octavia asked as they got into the boat

“I'm as sure as I am Irish. I'm not going to let what happened last time, happen this time.” Mise said as he started up the boat.

“Ok I trust you, now tell me about the island” Octavia said

“Well first and foremost, it has a gilded age mansion on it.” Mise said as he cruised through the water

“It has a MANSION?!” Octavia asked shocked

“Indeed, while my grandfather was still alive he commissioned the building of it in the style of the gilded age.” Mise said

“What’s the ‘gilded age’?” Octavia asked as she clung to her boyfriend from behind

“It was period from the late 1880’s to the late 1910’s, and it’s best known for gilded mansions that were built across the country by the rich and famous of the day. These mansions ranged from very simple yet elegant to so over the top they can never be replicated.” Mise explained

“Wow, that’s amazing. And you’re uncle built his own, here?” Octavia said

“Yes he did. The government and insurance company has pretty much forgotten about over the decades, so it’s not only in pristine condition but its 100% owned by my family, most of whom have actually forgotten or never heard about it. So I pretty much have it to myself even though it’s not ALL mine” Mise said

“That’s crazy!” Octavia said

“Mhmm, what do you think about taking the gang here this summer. It’ll be like our hang out.” Mise said

“Mise...That. Has got to be. The GREATEST idea ever!” Octavia said excitedly

“I certainly thought so, wait till we tell the gang!” Mise said

Time skip: 30 minutes

Mise and Octavia arrived at the island safe and sound. Mise parked the boat at the dock and shut the engine off and got out.

The two made their way up to the mansion. It was a huge stone and brick building, with aged copper roofing, dozens of French style windows, and two towering chimneys.

“Mise this is astounding!” Octavia said in awe

“Just wait till you see the inside and where we’ll be sleeping and eating.” Mise said as he walked up to the large iron and glass door and unlocking it

They walked inside and it was like stepping back in time 100 years. The floors were made of white marble, the walls were lined with hand carved exotic woods inlayed with enamels and gold leaf. The ceilings had large murals and covered in plaster sculptings as well as a large crystal chandelier hanging down. It was clear that no expense was spared.

“Mise, I don’t know what to say this is so beautiful.” Octavia said looking around

“this is just the beginning, come on let me show you the master bedroom and dining room, that’s where we’ll be spending the most time.” Mise said as he led Octavia up the grand staircase to the second floor.
