Maylea grunted and attempted to move her arms, but to no avail with how swollen they (and the rest of her body) were. As she floated idly against the ceiling she looked below and gave a silly grin at Bianca, who had a less than amused expression on her face. "Haha... oh come on, Bianca. Can't you take a joke?" The ballooned grass type inquired relaxedly.

Bianca only scowled as she shut off the valve to the tank that had filled her roommate up so greatly. "Is it just so much to want to rehearse in peace without your ceaseless antics getting in the way?! I'm trying my hardest to win my first award at a contest!" The mienshao huffed, her plump arms crossed, pressing up against her ample bosom.

"Well... I guess... but it was still funny, huh~?" The immobile tsareena chuckled flatly, her lazy grin grating on Bianca as usual.

Bianca gave only a sigh. "You never change, May," she replied with an abundant absence of energy. Just as she was about to turn around and retire to her room something abruptly clattered to the ground, which snapped Bianca to attention as she saw an object on the floor, underneath the inflated Maylea. "What? And what is this?" The mienshao inquired as she bent down to pick up the object, which for the first time made Maylea's expression jump into a panic.

"H-Hey! That's...!" Maylea blurted out, but stopped herself from saying anymore, but it was too late. Bianca held the square shaped object in her hands and looked at it rather perplexingly. It appeared to resemble some sort of plaque, but the wooden base was a rather dull color, and plates were nothing more than thin, tin-like sheets nailed and tapped down rather unprofessionally.

"Maylea... this plaque is filthy and in shambles. Where on Earth did you get this gaudy thing? ...And where were you hiding it, for that matter? You're as big as a blimp!" Bianca asked, a tinge of confusion in her voice. The tsareena only chuckled nervously.

"Aha... I had it tied behind my hair tendrils... and... I made it for you, Bianca. Go on, might as well read what it says, I guess," the plant replied, looking away in hesitation.

The mienshao stood there, almost amazed. "You... you MADE this? Wait, read what it says...?" she inquired, then proceeded to study what was written on the tin plates.

"The most beautiful woman award... to Bianca... presented by Maylea." As if almost immediately Bianca's expression softened up greatly, she looked up at the swollen grass type, eyes widened.

"I figured since you've had a lot of trouble winning your first contest that I would make something for you, you know?" Maylea explained. "Because even if the people out there don't think so, you deserve to know you're damn beautiful... even if it's from a wise-cracking bimbo like me..."

Bianca was taken aback at Maylea's uncharacteristically soft-spoken words. She placed the plaque gently and delicately onto a nearby table and her hands reached over to the buoyant plant before her, bringing her slightly down to eye level. "Maylea... thank you... this is the best thing I could have ever gotten from you," she said, leaning in closer to Maylea.

Suddenly, with her remaining mobility, Maylea steals a quick kiss from Bianca's lips, who is slightly startled at Maylea's maneuver. However in the heat of the moment Bianca reaches in and gives the tsareena an even deeper kiss, keeping their embrace firm and close before she finally lets go. Maylea gives a goofy chuckle as stares lovingly into Bianca's eyes.

"Happy Valentine's Day~"
