As Liebe was outside, Licht and Alysa both had the same idea: what would a smooth Liebe look like? As Licht and Alysa both thought, *Smooth, smooth, smooth,* yet none could picture it.
Eosian thought, *Yup, Jade is drunk or cracked in the head.*
As both Licht and Alysa tried their hardest, but nothing came to their heads:
Licht said, "Umm, are you thinking what I'm thinking?"
Alysa, politely and nervously, said, "No, no, no. I wasn't thinking that at all. How absurd it sounds that Mr. Liebe is smooth."
Licht said, "Yup, we were thinking the same thing. You are curious too, aren't you?"
Alysa, now red in the face, embarrassingly said, "Well, maybe just a little."
Eosian said, "What? Faust isn't smooth at all."
As Fang let out a rawr that can be translated as: *Liebe is cool, but never smooth.*
Licht said, "Are you thinking what I'm thinking?"
Alysa said, "Take him to a ball and see how smooth he can get."
Licht said, "Yup. You know any balls around here anytime soon?"
Alysa said, "Well, I know a friend. She should know."
Licht said, "Great."
Alysa said, "Umm, Mr. Licht, you know Liebe for so long, but why is it you don't know?"
Licht said, "The thing is, with us, he doesn't play pretend, so he doesn't have to. But we know he had a body count in the thousands. I just want to know how."
As Alysa heard "body count in the thousands," she almost fainted again.
Licht said, "Alysa, Alysa, no, no—"
Eosian said, "She isn't dead. She is just in a state of shock from what you said. 'Body count in the thousands.'"
As Alysa wakes up:
Alysa said, "So what happened?"
Licht said, "We were planning to see how smooth he gets."
Alysa said, "Yeah, that. There is supposed to be one tonight, if I remember."
Licht said, "Wow, the nap really jogged your memory."
Alysa said, "Guess so. Let me ask her." As she called Helios and Helios said, "Yeah." And they hung up.
Licht said, "So mission 'Get Liebe Smooth' is on the way."
Alysa said, "Yup."
Licht said, "Finally, let's see how good he really is. By the way, you don't mind right if my subordinate joins us?"
Alysa said, "No, no. And is it OK if my friend joins too?"
Licht said, "Sure."
As Eosian said, "You two can't be serious."
Alysa whispered, "What about him?"
Licht whispered, "Don't worry, I got him covered."
Alysa said, "OK, just make sure he is alive, OK?"
Licht said, "Deal."
As now Liebe was in the middle saying, "Great, so how do we—"
As they both screamed, "Ahhh!"
Licht said, "When did you get here?"
Liebe said, "You two done scheming without me? Or do you need a moment?"
Licht said, "It's nothing."
Liebe said, "OK then. I feel like someone is hiding something."
As Licht and Alysa tried their best to hide it:
Licht said, "No, no."
Alysa said, "I'd never."
Licht said, "We aren't planning to see how smooth you are."
Alysa said, "And it doesn't involve a ball as well."
Licht said, "Nope."
Alysa said, "Not possible."
Liebe said, "OK."
