Yuuri coughed and sputtered as they all surfaced in the courtyard fountain. Surprisingly there was no one there to greet him.

"I'd offer you a towel," said Conrad, "but since I came with you I'm soaked too."

"I'm surprised Günter isn't here to greet us," Yuuri said after a while.

"Wimp!" Wolfram roared. "Can you only think of others? What about me? I'm all soaking wet too. We should go find a change of clothes."

Just then Celi came out of the castle with Lazania and Effie, who carried armfuls of towels. "Oh Majesty, you've returned. I've brought some towels and a change of clothes for everyone."

"Thanks," Yuuri said as he started drying himself off with a towel. "But, er…uh where're the clothes?"

"Here they are!" Celi shouted while holding up a microscopic pile of …black noble thongs.

"Mother!" Wolfram's face turned red. "I refuse to walk about the castle in underpants. It's indecent."

"They're not underwear, Wolfie," Celi explained. "I redesigned the uniform while you were gone. This," she said, holding up the skimpy black thong, "is now acceptable wear in the castle as an alternative uniform."

"Good thing she didn't do that during the war," Gwendal grumbled under his breath.

"I heard that, Gwennie! And I'm sure the war would have been over much faster if we made our soldiers wear thongs."

"She has a point," said José.

Wolfram looked about ready to explode. "Well, it's still indecent. And I refuse to allow my fiancé to be seen walking around the castle dressed in that."

"I can't believe my sons grew up to be such prudes." Celi sighed and a small tear formed at the corner of her eye. "All I want is for you to look beautiful."

Gwendal, Conrad, and Wolfram glanced at each other, then collectively sighed. "Fine mother, we'll wear them."

Celi squealed happily. "Yay! You will? Oh that's wonderful! You've made me so happy! I'm sure you'll like them."

"See, Yuu-chan?" Miko said. "Boys should always listen to their mothers."

"Mom…" Yuuri groaned.

"You're His Majesty's Royal Mother?" Celi squealed while hugging Miko. "How wonderful to finally meet you!"

"But what will I wear?" Miko asked, eyeing the "Noble Underwear."

"Oh, don't worry, I always keep a spare dress around." Celi reached in between her boobs and fished out a skimpy sparkly black dress that resembled a bikini with a side of spaghetti. "Here, you can wear this."

"That's lovely," Miko squealed.

Then they all got changed in the temple and walked towards the castle. Wolfram glared at Yuuri the whole way.

"So where is my grand-daughter?" Miko asked as they entered the castle.

"Anissina had a Science Camp sleep-over for the kids last night," Celi answered. "Maybe they're still in the lab."

"Kids?" asked Yuuri.

"Oh yes. Greta seemed lonely since you all left her, so we invited over Rinji von Wincott and Beatrice to keep her company."

"Yuu-chan! You left your daughter all alone?"

Yuuri scratched his head guiltily. Then Wolfram smacked him.

"Wimp!" he hissed. "How dare you allow a maid to look at you like that."

"That's not a maid, that's Yozak. And I don't think he was looking at Yuuri," José said.

"Yeah," Conrad agreed. "Oh that reminds me, I brought back a present for Yozak this time." He smiled at them all. "I got him some…thyme, since he always complains that I don't spend enough of it with him."

"I'm sure that will spice up your relationship," José quipped.

Yuuri covered his ears. "I'm going to pretend I didn't hear that."

"What, Shibuya? I'm sure they meant cooking lessons," Murata said and smirked evilly.

Wolfram gave them all a glare that seemed to say: there is something perverted going on here, but I'm not sure what it is, but if you keep this nonsense up in front of Greta, the only cooking lesson around here is going to be BBQ. Flaming BBQ.

Yozak joined them in full French Maid drag, and they continued on down to Anissina's lab.

The children had woken up (or rather, they'd never fallen asleep in the first place), and were playing "Jump on Günter."

"Papa!" Greta shouted as soon as she saw her fathers, and ran to the doorway of the lab to greet them.

"Greta…I see you've had….fun." Wolfram glanced about the destroyed lab.

"I learned a lot about science." Greta happily waved a color-by-element coloring page for everyone to inspect.

"Oh that's wonderful, dear," Miko said. "Yuu-chan, you're so lucky to have such a smart daughter."

"Yes," Anissina agreed. "She's a regular scientific protégé." Then the inventor turned to Yuuri. "That reminds me, your Majesty, I have a request for funding the construction of a teaching laboratory in the castle, but you still need to sign it."

Gwendal's eyes twitched and he cleared his throat. "I'm sure his Majesty has much better ways to spend-"

"What's that, Gwendal? Are you volunteering to be Greta's first test subject?"

Wolfram smirked, as he saw his opportunity to get revenge on Gwendal, and make his daughter happy at the same time. "I think a scientific education is good for Greta," Wolfram said. "And of course the best way for her to learn, is by emulating Anissina's style with live test subjects. I'm sure you wouldn't refuse such an important learning opportunity to Greta, brother."

"I..uh…" Gwendal blushed and made knitting motions with his hands.

"Yay! That's so nice of you Gwennie," Celi squealed.

Günter was appropriated as test subject number two, for an increased sample size. "We might have enough subjects for a statistically significant sample," Anissina said brightly. "But that just means we'll have to run more replications of the experiment."

.

After leaving Gwendal, Anissina, Greta, José, and an unconscious Günter in the lab, Wolfram turned to the rest of them. It was present time, or in other words, payback time. "I brought some presents back for you from Earth," he informed them. Then he gave his mother a diamond necklace (that was his revenge on Shouri and Shouri's bank account), a children's book for Greta, and a small package for Yozak.

Yozak ripped the present open. "Matching gothic-loli dresses? You shouldn't have! The commander and I will have so much fun playing dress up together! Uh…Conrad?"

It was a wonderful Christmas for Wolfram. Well, until he heard some squealing and the words:

"Look at this lovely dress I brought for Wolf-chan!"

"Wimp!" Wolfram roared as he ran through the castle hallways. "Come back here and face our mothers too!"
