V Day -5

Valentine's Day. Even in the Anime Dimension, Valentine's Day was a major event for girls and Jake was sick of it. For the last week or two, Katia and Yuta had done nothing but talk about it. Fawn had mentioned it too and Lucia seemed excited about it since it was a season of love. Sarah, however, wasn't so happy about it. At first, Jake assumed it was because she didn't have a guy to spend the day with but it seemed more like overwork than depression, like something bad was going to happen. He asked Jessica about the subject when he had the chance.

"You don't know? You must have lived really far away."

"Yes, yes, very far. Can you just explain please?" He hurriedly avoided the subject.

"Alright, I didn't mean anything by it. Jeez... Look, every Valentine's, illegal emotion-manipulating chocolates start popping up on the streets."

"Emotion-manipulating? Like love potions?"

"Mmm, kinda, yeah. It's not so bad these days since they can target specific individuals. About five years ago, they'd make people fall in love with someone, or something, totally at random. Heheh. I remember one time, I even saw a young woman humping a telephone pole while declaring her everlasting devotion to it."

"That's... creepy."

"Suzy, I think she called it."

"Can we move away from this topic please?"

"Okay, okay. Anyway, I suggest you avoid chocolate for a while."

"Katia and Yuta?"

"Exactly. While I admit seeing you fall head-over-heels for one of those two would be funny, it wouldn't be right to let it happen. So if they offer you any, just say no and tell me, okay?"

"Yeah, thanks, Jess."

"No problem. As for Sarah, I'm guessing she's running herself ragged because of what happened last year."

"Why? What happened?" Jake already had an idea and Jessica's response confirmed his suspicion.

"Dawn."

"What, did she make Sarah fall so madly in love with her, she'd help her rob a bank?"

"Ding ding ding ding! We have a winner, folks!"

"Oh, boy. What do I win?"

"A pat on the head." Jess patted Jake on the head condescendingly.

"I have a better idea," Jake said as he grabbed Jessica's wrist and focused his energy. "I think a kiss would be a better prize, don't you agree?"

"Yes, Jake, that's a wonderful idea," the entranced woman replied and kissed him.

V Day -2

Dawn had it all planned out. She'd recently gotten some chocolates from one of her underworld contacts. He'd told her that the chocolates came in pairs and the person that ate one would fall in love with the person that ate the other. Dawn had slipped one into Sarah's morning coffee when no one was watching. She hadn't decided who to give the second one too. Maybe Jessica. Or Mato. That would be hilarious. Regardless, Sarah would be too focused on her new love to stop Dawn from committing her usual Valentine's crime spree (Valentine's Day is about love after all and Dawn loved nothing more than stealing things).

She watched from just outside the kitchen as most of the household ate breakfast. She held the second chocolate in her hand, deciding finally to give it to Mato. She turned to take it to the lab when Yuta bashed into her as she and Katia ran past, sending the chocolate flying into the air. Predictably, it fell into Dawn's open mouth and she had to swallow it to avoid choking. Her expression was one of fear as she realised what had just happened. She looked into the kitchen, where the two girls were fighting over Jake, and saw Sarah finish her coffee off. Both having finished their chocolates, Dawn and Sarah's expressions changed to happy ones as their glassy pink eyes met and Dawn floated dreamily into the room, over the table and onto Sarah's lap. The others watched in shock as the two began making out.

"I love you, Dawn," Sarah said in between kisses.

"Not as much as I love you, my sweet," Dawn replied.

"What's going on?" Fawn asked worriedly.

"It looks like they're under the influence of love chocolates," Mina said, surprising the others with her expertise. "What? We were warned about it in my magic classes."

"I thought so," said Jessica. "I guess all we can do now is wait for it to wear off. Dawn, how long are these things supposed to last?"

"Oh, about three days or so."

"THREE DAYS!? What the hell, Dawn!? Who were you planning on giving them to?"

"Sarah and the old man."

"MATO!? ARE YOU INSANE!?"

"Of course not; I'm a genius!"

"Ignoring that, you were going to make me fall in love with Mato?" Sarah asked.

"Uh-huh."

"You're a very naughty girl, Dawn. I think you deserve a spanking."

"Oh, goody. Shall we take this somewhere private, my dear?"

"Of course, my love." Sarah stood and carried Dawn out of the room bridal-style.

"Oh, I await the day my Beloved carries me like that," Katia whispered to herself.

"Okay, I never want to hear those two speak like that again," said Jessica as the two headed upstairs. The others agreed.

"What do we do now then?" Jake asked.

"The only thing we can do: wait it out," Jessica replied.

"AH! I've been a bad girl! Do it again! That's it! I love it! Yes, the tail! The tail! AAAAAHHN!" Jake and the girls sweat dropped.


* * * * *


V Day -1

Jake was amazed he hadn't cracked yet. He hadn't managed to get much sleep thanks to Dawn and Sarah's antics and was now sat at the table with his equally tired housemates. Jen was in a bad mood and just gave everyone unbuttered bread for breakfast, Katia and Yuta were too tired to even argue when Jake accidentally touched Fawn's breast in his haze and even Lucia couldn't maintain her eternally positive demeanor. Jessica didn't seem too affected by it, which Jake chalked up to her military training.

"We have to do something about those two and soon."

"I know, Jake, but what can we do?" asked Fawn.

"I'll deal with it," Jessica said as she stood up. "Just leave it to me." Jake would have figured out what she was planning and protested were he not so groggy.

Jessica headed up the stairs to Dawn's room, where Sarah had spent the night. She knocked on the door and Sarah answered, her shirt undone with only her underwear underneath. To her dismay, Sarah's eyes were still pink, but at least they weren't glassy anymore and her tone of voice was back to normal. "Hi, Jess. What can I do for you?"

"I need to talk to you two about your, uh... late night activities."

Sarah giggled. "Oh, that? Sure come in." Sarah sat on the bed next to Dawn and it seemed Sarah had answered the door because she was the most modestly dressed. Dawn had her pants on, sure, but it seemed she hadn't been wearing a bra under her top the previous day and she sat bare chested and unashamed.

Jessica pulled a chair over and opened her mouth to speak but she really couldn't do it, given the situation. She walked over to Dawn's drawers and pulled out a bra, which she then handed to Dawn and sat facing them. Dawn looked at Sarah and the two giggled, Jessica feeling like they thought she was too immature to handle the sight. Once Dawn had her bra on, Jessica began. "You see, you two were a little... well, you were too loud last night and the rest of us didn't get much sleep."

"Oh, I'm sorry, Jess," Sarah apologised. "It's just that we were having so much fun last night..."

"I'm glad you understand but you two have a lot of... um..."

"Passion?" Dawn suggested, causing Sarah to smile and peck her on the cheek.

"Yeah, passion. So I'm worried that, even if you promise to keep it to a minimum, you might give in to your desires and... you know..."

"Oh, please, Jess. That initial boom of lust died down last night before we did anything. We may be madly, madly in love right now but we know it'll end eventually and we're not going to do anything we'll really regret later. Isn't that right, my naughty little girl?"

"Absolutely, Officer Sexy Pants."

"Even so, I have a solution to this dilemma," Jessica said, producing her silver pocket watch and dangling it before their eyes. Although their eyes immediately focused on it as Jessica set it swinging, the two giggled knowingly. "Watch the watch as it swings back and forth, back... and... fooorth..." Jessica's induction was quickly interrupted by Dawn holding a hypnotic orb in front of her eyes. She did so at an angle where Sarah couldn't see it, so as to avoid entrancing her too.

Once Jessica was fully under, Sarah looked over her entranced friend. "You intentionally avoided hypnotizing me? Huh, I guess there really is a first time for everything."

"Yup, and this is gonna be fun," Dawn declared, looking over her prey. "What do you say, honey? Should we have Jessica join us?"

"I don't know. She's my best friend..."

"Is your best friend more important than me?" Dawn asked, sounding hurt.

"No, of course not! You are the most important thing in my life but... it still feels wrong to mess with her head."

"Sarah, Mistress Dawn commands you."

Sarah gasped and her eyes glazed over. "I await your command, Mistress Dawn. Command and I shall obey."

"Glad to see that trigger still works. Now, you want Jessica to experience the love we feel. Isn't that right?"

"Yes, Mistress Dawn. I wish to share this feeling with my friend."

"Then wake... actually, I'd like a show first. Sarah, make out with Jessica."

"Yes, Mistress Dawn." Sarah embraced her best friend and locked lips. Jessica's eyes flew open, blue and glazed, but they began to change. Their colour changed from blue to pink and her expression changed from one of shock to one of loving adoration as she began to return the kiss with as much passion as Sarah gave her.

"What's this? Our love is so great, it's contagious," Dawn smirked. "Oh, this gives me a great idea. Okay, girls stop kissing."

"Yes, Mistress Dawn." Sarah sat back on the bed and Jessica remained in her seat.

"Now, girls, I have a great idea for how we can have some fun and I'd like you two to agree with my ideas wholeheartedly. Can you do that for me?"

"Yes, Mistress Dawn. We will agree with your ideas."

"Very good. Now, wake up." She snapped her fingers and the two girls came around. "How do you both feel?"

"Ugh, I let myself get hypnotized again, didn't I?" asked Jessica, embarrassed.

"Yes, but it allowed us to fall in love, didn't it?" Sarah replied, sitting on her lap, kissing her on the cheek and playing with her hair.

"Then it was totally worth it. I love you, Sarah."

"Aww, I love you too, Jess." The two kissed again.

"And what about me?" Dawn asked, almost hurt to see her lover with another woman. Jessica and Sarah giggled and Jessica stood up. She took Dawn in her arms and kissed her on the lips. Dawn's expression was one of shock and then one of bliss as the chocolate's effect overtook her again. Jessica released Dawn, who said, "Oh, Jessica, you're so sexy," and began kissing her neck.

"Thanks. You're pretty sexy yourself. But call me Jess. It wouldn't be right for my lover to not be calling me by my nickname."

Typically, only Jessica's close friends like Sarah would call her 'Jess' and Dawn was very happy to be allowed to call her that. "Okay, Jess."

"Good. What do you think is most sexy about me?" she asked coyly.

"Oh, definitely your breasts."

"You mean these?" Jessica took off her top to show off her camo bra-covered breasts.

"Yeah, those. They're so big and round. And when you move them around, it's almost..." Jessica began spinning them round and Dawn's eyes fixated on them.

"Almost what? Hypnotic?" Jessica teased.

"Yes... hypnotic, Mistress Jessica," Dawn joked.

"And what about me?" Sarah asked, arms over her smaller chest.

Dawn and Jessica smiled. "You're perfect just the way you are." The three were soon all embracing and making out with each other. In fact, Dawn forgot all about her plan for the next hour or so.


* * *


Jake and the others were feeling better now. Jen had suggested taking a nap and everyone had thought that sounded nice. Jake, Fawn and Katia were the first to wake up and Jake and Fawn made some coffee for everyone. Now that they were up, Jake decided to address the most important issue: "Jessica's been gone a long time."

"You don't think Dawn hypnotized her, do you?" Fawn asked.

"Or forced her to eat some of those chocolates?" Katia suggested.

"I doubt they did the chocolate thing since it would affect them too. But hypnosis? Seems likely. We should go check on her."

"No need, Jake," said Jessica as she entered the room, her eyes back to their normal blue.

"Jessica? What took so long?"

"Oh, I just sat them down and explained to them that we were having trouble sleeping and they agreed to keep it down. It took a while since they kept getting distracted by each other and making out." Jake kinda wished he'd been there.

"Oh, Jessica, you're back," said Yuta sleepily as she entered the kitchen in her pink pajamas.

"Aw, you still sleepy?" asked Jessica.

"Uh-huh."

"Have some coffee then," said Fawn, placing a cup in front of her.

"Thanks, Fawn," said Yuta before taking a sip.

"I'm gonna go check on the others," said Jake, taking a few cups with him.

"I'll help, Jake," said Fawn as she picked up a few and followed him.

"So, how are you two feeling?" Jessica asked once Jake and Fawn had left.

"A little better," Yuta replied.

"Yes, I think I can sleep easier knowing I won't be hearing... that anymore," said Katia, shuddering.

"That's good. So, what are you two doing for Valentine's Day?"

"Ha! That should be obvious; I'm going to spend the day with my beloved."

"No, Big Brother is going out with me!"

"Listen you stupid-!"

"Girls!" Jessica whispered authoritatively. "Keep it down. The others are trying to sleep."

"Oh, right," Katia replied.

"Sorry," Yuta replied.

"Look, I can see you both want to have Jake to yourselves but arguing isn't going to get you anywhere. Look, why don't you two just head back to your rooms and I'll think of something, okay?"

"Really? You'd do that for us?" asked Yuta.

"Of course; you three are my friends. And Valentine's Day is a day of love. I want to make sure you're all happy."

"Then I will take you up on your offer. Thank you."

"Thanks, Jessica."

"No problem." The two left and Jessica thought to herself, Just as Dawn planned.


* * *


Yuta waited in her room for Jessica to arrive with her idea. After about five minutes, there was a knock at the door. "Come in," Yuta called out eagerly.

She was let down when Dawn entered. "What's with that face? I come here to help you in your time of need and you look like you've just seen a rat."

"You could say that. What do you want?"

"If you're going to be like that, then maybe I won't help you get Jake all to yourself." She turned to leave but Yuta was suddenly holding onto her leg.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry! Please help me!"

Dawn smiled as her strategy worked. "That's more like it. Sit back on your bed and I'll explain." Yuta did as she was asked. "Now, Jake is in his room right now so this is your chance. You take these..." she held out a chocolate in each hand, "...and give him this one and take this one yourself," she indicated the left and right chocolates respectively. Be absolutely sure you take these specifically."

"But won't this affect me too?" Yuta asked cautiously as she took the chocolates.

"You're already in love with Jake. So it shouldn't have much of an effect on you, right?"

"Hmm, I suppose not. Thanks, Dawn. You can be nice when you want to."

"Yes, I can. Now, you'd better hurry."

"Why?"

"Well..."


"I confiscated these from Dawn," Sarah explained as she handed Katia the chocolates. "Take this one yourself and give this one to Jake."

"No. It isn't right to manipulate my beloved like this."

"I know. I don't like it either but Yuta's planning the same thing and this is the only way to save him."

"What!? That walking trash compactor is planning to steal my beloved with a love potion!? Give them to me!"

She took them and Sarah barely had time to say, "Make sure to take them in the order I said," before Katia was out the door and on her way to Jake's room.


* * *


Jake was trying to take a quick nap while it was quiet but it was not to be as Yuta and Katia burst through the door shouting about something but Jake was too tired to make out specifics. They were arguing, probably about who Jake was going to spend Valentine's Day with... again. He was about to get up and use his hypnotic touch to get rid of them when both girls ate a piece of chocolate and shoved another piece each into Jake's mouth. Jake had to swallow to avoid choking and was immediately wide awake. He stared in horror as he realised what the girls had done and saw their eyes turn pink like Sarah and Dawn's had. The two turned to each other and smiled.

"I love you, Princess Katia. I am henceforth your faithful servant. Please do with me as you wish."

"No, my love. I will not have my true love as my servant. You will be my equal in all things. Please rise, Yuta."

"Thank you, my princess." Jake was in complete shock. The only explanation was that they'd both tried to win him over and either he was somehow immune or, more likely, the two had given him the wrong chocolates.

"Hey, Jake, are you feeling any... better?" Fawn was stood in the doorway watching Yuta and Katia as they stared lovingly into each other's pink, glassy eyes. "What did you-?"

"It wasn't me!" Jake jumped off his bed and quickly went over to her. "They just came in here and tried to give me that drugged chocolate!"

"So, how did they end up like this?" Fawn motioned to Yuta, who was now kissing Katia's neck.

"I don't know. Maybe... maybe they were tricked and gave me the wrong chocolates."

"But what about yours? Do you feel an overwhelming love for yourself?"

"No."

"Then yours were probably just normal chocolates."

"You think someone tricked them?"

"If those are Dawn's, I'd say yes."

"So what now?"

"Shouldn't you be happy? This means you get three days without them nagging you." And I get to spend Valentine's Day with you. "Plus, they're not Dawn; they're not into all that kinky stuff so they're not likely to keep us awake."

"Am I truly your one true love?" asked Yuta hopefully. "What about Big Brother?"

"I... I love you, Yuta. More than anything but... I-I still love my beloved."

"I know. I still love Big Brother too."

"Wow, Jake. Their love for you is even stronger than the love spell?" Fawn commented.

"Not the time, Fawn."

"What should we do?" Yuta asked.

"Let's share him," Katia suggested. Jake did a spit-take. He hadn't even been drinking anything.

"Great idea! You're so smart!" Yuta and Katia began making out passionately.

"This would be awesome if I wasn't so terrified right now," Jake noted.

"Yeah, um... we should tell the others," said Fawn. "As in now."

"I was just about to say that," Jake replied as the two ran out of the room.

Dawn and Sarah watched as Jake and Fawn ran down the stairs and laughed. "You were right, Dawn. That was so much fun."

"I told you so. Now, do you understand why I do stuff like this?"

"Yeah. Oh! You know what we should do?"

"I'm listening."

"You're gonna love this..."


* * *


"And now they're up in my room, making out," Jake said, finishing his and Fawn's explanation of the situation to Jen, Lucia and Jessica.

"So they're making other people fall in love too? Then, aren't we all potential targets?" Jen asked.

"That's a good point," replied Jake. "We need to get away from them."

"Can't we just lock them in the lab until they're better?" Jessica suggested.

"No, the Professor left this morning and locked the lab when he did," Fawn explained. "And the door's reinforced to prevent magic or weapons damage."

"I guess we have two options," said Jake. "One: Hypnotize them. Two: Run away."

"Can't Jen do something about them?" asked Lucia.

"I could probably imprison them but I'd need to concentrate on it constantly to prevent them from escaping."

"Still, it's an option," said Fawn. "Okay, we'll try hypnosis first."

"Right, I'll try my pendant on the first one that comes down here," Jake replied, taking the pendant out of his pocket.

As if on cue, Katia and Yuta came down the stairs. "Beloved! Why did you leave us!? My dear Yuta and I have agreed to share you. I will be your official wife and Queen of our kingdom and Yuta will be your mistress."

"Yeah, your mistress," Yuta said as her eyes turned to spirals.

Katia put a hand over Yuta's eyes. "No, no, dear. Not that kind of mistress."

"Awww. Can I be that kind of mistress to you then?"

"No... well... perhaps when we roleplay..."

"I really don't want to hear this," said Jake as he covered his ears.

"Guys, guys!" called Mina as she and Diana ran into the house. "I've... hah... I've got it," she panted, holding out a book with a bookmarked page. Jake opened it and the other girls looked at it over his shoulders. "I've found... the spell to fix things."

"That's great, Mina," Jake congratulated her. "Did you bring someone with you to perform it?"

"No, it's low-level stuff so I can do this," Mina replied confidently.

"Wait, this doesn't seem like a good idea," Jake said. Before he could protest any further, Mina's eyes and pendant glowed as she prepared the spell. She released a ball of energy from her staff that floated towards the two lovers before violently exploding. Once the smoke had cleared, the two could be seen taking each other's clothes off. A few of the girls put a hand over Jake's eyes as the two reached their underwear. They didn't go any further so the others eventually let Jake see again.

"I think you made it worse, Mina," he said, finally able to see what Mina had caused.

"B-but I did it exactly as it says in the book," she replied dejectedly.

"This is why you should have called in a teacher or your parents or..." Diana trailed off, seeing that her words were hurting Mina even more, and sighed. "Look, we can fix it, right? We'll just go get your mom and she can deal with it. Come on." She guided Mina to the door and the others continued their conversation.

"Yeah, Mina's mom can fix this," said Jake confidently.

"And what do we do in the meantime?" Fawn asked, pointing at the two half-naked girls.

"We just keep and eye on them but be careful of Yuta's hypnotic-"

"Uh, guys?" Diana called out. "We have a problem here!" The others ran over and saw the problem: Diana was pulling on the doorknob as hard as she could - she even had her feet on the wall as she did so - but the door just wouldn't budge. "This damn door won't open."

"I'll do it," said Jessica, pulling with all her might but it had no effect. "What the hell's wrong with this thing?"

"Here, let me try," said Jen. She formed a magic orb in her hands and launched it at the door. She tried to open it but it was still stuck. "Stupid little... wait a sec." She closed her eyes and scrunched up her face as she concentrated. "It's being held shut by magic," she explained. "It feels like Mina's magical signature."

They turned to Mina. "How did you screw up so catastrophically?" Jake demanded.

"I don't know!" Mina had tears in her eyes as she realised the extent of her screw up.

"Can't you open it?" Fawn asked Jen, who shook her head.

"I tried but Mina's magic is too powerful."

"Let me try something," said Jessica. She opened a hidden compartment in the wall and took out some C4. She put a controlled amount on the door to blow it off its hinges. The blast did nothing. She tried again with enough to blow up a tank. Still nothing.

Lucia went to open a window but it was locked shut too. Jake and Fawn threw a spare TV at the window but the TV took more damage than the window did.

Jen snapped her fingers but nothing happened. "Teleportation doesn't work either."

"What now then?" asked Diana, putting her arm comfortingly around Mina.

"The phone!" Jake rushed to the phone and picked it up. No dial tone. No operator. Nothing. "Dead."

"Then we are trapped in the house?" asked Lucia worriedly.

"And we can't call for help," Fawn added.

"In that case, everyone be careful around Yuta and Dawn," said Jake and the others nodded. "And don't eat or drink anything with chocolate in it. We'll have to hold out until the old man gets back."


* * *


That night, while Jake and the girls lay awake, fearful that they'd be next, Kitty was sat in her living room, waiting for her daughter to get back. "It's getting late. Why isn't she back yet? I'll head over to the Mato house and check up on her." As her hand touched the doorknob, her eyes glazed over and she mindlessly droned, "There's nothing to worry about. Diana is safe at the Mato house. She can stay for as long as she wants." Once she'd said the words and they'd become reinforced in her mind, she awoke from her trance.

Just in time to hear her husband calling from the bedroom. "Oh, Honey! It's just turned twelve on Valentine's Day and Diana's out of the house. You know what that means?"

"Oh, dear, that's a wonderful idea," she purred as she walked to her husband, her daughter completely forgotten thanks to Mato's suggestions. An identical scene played out at Mina's house too.


* * * * *


V Day

The next day, Lucia was making breakfast since Jen was busy trying to find a way out of their current predicament. She was just finishing pouring maple syrup on the pancakes when Dawn entered the kitchen.

"Mmmm, something smells nice," said Dawn, giving one of her rare, non-hypnosis-induced compliments.

"Oh, have you been hypnotized to be nice today, Dawn?" asked Lucia.

"No. I can be nice when I want to."

"You can? I did not know that." Lucia seemed genuinely surprised and not just saying it to annoy Dawn. "In that case, you are a very nice person, Dawn," she said, bowing. "Would you like a pancake now?"

"N-no, I'll wait. I actually have something else to talk to you about."

"What is it?"

"Well, do you remember what I told you the other day?"

"The other day?" Lucia replied cluelessly.

"I told you that you owe me one."

Lucia's eyes glazed over as her suggestion took hold. "Yes, I remember."

"Good girl," Dawn said, pulling out a small vial. "Now, here's what I want you to do..."


* * *


Ten minutes later, the entire household, bar Jen, was gathered at the table for breakfast. On one side of the table were Sarah, Dawn, Katia and Yuta, holding hands and feeding each other their pancakes. Like Sarah and Dawn, Yuta and Katia's initial boom of passion had died down and their eyes were normal but pink. Everyone else was sat on the other side of the table, cautious and scared of the four opposite them.

While a little disturbed, Jake was also happy he wasn't being fought over by Katia and Yuta, something he'd been dreading for weeks. The two were currently talking with Sarah and Dawn about how wonderful it was to be so deeply in love.

"Where's Jen?" asked Mina.

"Still in her room," replied Jessica. "Trying to find a way to undo the potion's effects and find a way out of the house." Mina hung her head in response. "I-it was just a mistake. Everybody makes them. Right?" The others agreed and Mina felt a little better.

Diana took a sip of her drink. "Hey, Lucia? What's in this? It tastes a little funny."

"Oh, I thought since it is Valentine's Day, I should put some chocolate in everyone's drinks." Jake did a spit-take and the non-infected girls froze. Diana looked horrified as she'd already swallowed some of her drink. She exchanged a look with Fawn before their eyes turned a glassy pink and they immediately embraced.

"I love you, Diana."

"Not as much as I love you, Fawn. See? I even imitate you hairstyle to prove it."

"Oh, you." The two, naturally, began kissing.

"Was this supposed to happen, Dawn?" Lucia asked.

"Dawn?" Jake stared angrily.

"Looks like I've been found out," she said in mock resignation. "Yes, I mixed some chocolates up and had Lucia slip some into your drinks. Jessica, dear, you can reawaken your feelings now."

Her trigger activated, Jessica's eyes became glassy and pink again and she immediately grabbed Lucia by the wrists.

The soldier looked into the angel's eyes, her own brimming with pent up lust. "Love... spread love..." she said before pulling her in for a deep kiss. Jake and Mina were too stunned to react as Lucia's struggles ceased and Jessica released her.

Lucia looked back at the two, her eyes now pink and glassy. She smiled a creepy, vacant smile and said, "Join ussss... Feels sssooo gooood..."

The new infectees quickly kissed the other four: Jessica kissed Dawn, Lucia kissed Sarah, Diana kissed Yuta, and Fawn kissed Katia. The four mostly normal girls' eyes glazed over and their expressions went dreamy. The mixed up chocolates resulted in a different effect than the more controlled potion originally put in them. The potion was much stronger now and without a specific target for their love, the girls had one overriding goal. "Join ussss..." they droned. The eight love zombies began advancing on Jake and Mina, reaching out to pull them in for a kiss and repeating their mantra of "Join us."

Jake grabbed Mina's hand a bolted for the stairs, calls of "Join us" following behind.


* * *


Jen sat in the middle of her room with her legs crossed, meditating. She prioritised undoing the love potion over opening the door, so as to prevent Dawn's fun from spreading beyond the house. She knew she'd seen magic like this before and was trying to recall it. She thought back over her centuries of life, hoping to find a solution. She was so deep in her trance, she didn't even notice Jake and Mina bursting through her door and slamming, locking and barricading it.

She recalled an incident from a century and a half ago where she'd had to deal with a love potion victim. It wasn't as bad as this but it had altered the victim's mind in much the same way. She recalled that the solution had been a particular spell found in an ancient book of magic. She hadn't learned the spell herself; she'd merely kept the victim subdued while a friend of hers performed the spell. A friend she hadn't heard from in a few decades. Her only hope was to summon that book and perform the spell.

Her hands unconsciously moved from her knees to her lap and magical energy formed in them. The book was soon in her hands and the weight of it awoke her. She was surprised to see Jake and Mina in her room, Mina hysterical and Jake trying to calm her down, with the door barricaded by planks of wood nailed to the wall. She had no idea where they got the wood from.

"Um, can I help you?" she asked.

The other two stopped what they were doing and had looks of relief on their faces. "Jen, we need your help," Jake explained. "The others are all some kind of... love... zombies, and they're on their way here."

"Z-zombies?" There was a sudden banging on the door and the girls outside were still repeating their mantra. Jen started panicking. She hated zombies of any kind and this incident was bringing up memories she'd prefer to leave forgotten.

Jake waved a hand in front of the petrified Jen's eyes but no one was home. Mina noticed the book in Jen's lap. "No way! Jake, do you know what this is!?"

"Do I look like the kind of person who would?"

"This is a spell book written a thousand years ago! But it was lost a century ago. It's bookmarked." She opened the book up and her face lit up. "Jake! This is the spell that undoes the effect of love potions!"

"Seriously? That's great. Jen. Jen!"

"Z-zombies?"

"Jen, look at me. Look into my eyes, Jen." She was still unresponsive so Jake got right into her line of sight and used his hypnotic eye power, a power he very rarely employed. "It's okay, Jen. This isn't like last time; Mina and I are here for you. We'll make sure nothing happens to you. You trust me, don't you?"

"Y-yes, Jake. I trust you."

"Then calm down and relax. Everything's gonna be fine. All you need to do is help us perform this spell and everyone will be back to normal." He stopped using his power and Jen woke up from her light trance.

She took a moment to process what had just happened. "Thanks, Jake. I needed that. Alright, Mina, get ready."

"Wha...? Me!? I-I can't, I just-"

"Mina," Jen replied sternly. "We need to work together to fix eight people at once. You can do this."

"I can't! I'm telling you I-" SNAP! One of the boards was starting to break.

"Jake!" Jen shouted.

"I know, I know!" Jake threw himself at the door to keep it from opening but the zombies included Jessica, Yuta and Sarah. He knew he couldn't keep them at bay for long with those three trying to break the door down. He recalled the last two times he'd dealt with love zombies and remembered the cause of the first one. He grabbed the doorknob and put his energy into it.

Outside, Fawn was currently trying to force the door open and had her hand on the doorknob. She suddenly felt strange as some kind of energy entered her body from the doorknob. Her eyes changed from pink to gold. Then to pink. Then gold again. And the cycle continued, her eyes cycling between the two colours, as the focus of her thoughts changed from spreading her feelings of love, to strong feelings for a single person.

"Oh, Jake! I love you so much! Please be my valentine!"

"Note to self: never use the love touch to combat love zombies. Uh, tell you what, Fawn, make the others stop and I'll spend the whole day with you!"

"I can't do that, Jake. I was one of them and I know how they feel. They only want to spread their love. I can't just get in the way of that."

"Crap. Okay, new plan... I wish I had a new plan."


While this was going on, Jen was still trying to convince Mina to help her. "I'm telling you, I can't!"

"And I'm telling you you can! All you need is a little confidence boost and you'll be fine!"

"And how do you propose I get one?"

It took Jen a moment but she came up with an idea. She used her magic to make the room darker and create a ball of fire in her hand, holding it in front of Mina. "Focus on the flame, Mina. See how it flickers in the darkness. You've seen this before. It's the flame you see when you look at Jake's pendant. That's right. That deep, relaxing flame that makes you feel so good when you look at it. You can feel its warmth, can't you?" Mina nodded, swaying a little. "Good. Let that warmth wash over you. Let it take you over and feel yourself giving in to it, giving in to me. Your eyes are so tired now. You'd feel so much better if you let them close. Let them close and give in to my will. You're completely safe and relaxed so let your eyes close and sleeeep."

Mina's eyes closed and she fell into Jen's open arms just as the flame flickered out. "Glad that worked. Now, I want you to become totally confident in your abilities. You will perform the spell correctly. You won't screw up. Say it."

"I will perform the spell correctly. I won't screw up. I will perform the spell correctly. I won't screw up."

"Very good. Now, I want you to open your eyes but remain in your trance." Mina did as she was asked. "Okay, Mina, let's perform this spell."

"Yes, Mistress Jen."

"Huh, never thought I'd hear that. Alright, let's begin."


Jake was still negotiating with Fawn. "Please, Fawn. Don't you want me all to yourself? If the others get in, you'll have to share me! You don't want that, do you?"

"I never thought about it that way. Okay, Jake, I'll... help... Yes, Mistress Yuta, I will share him."

"Crap crap CRAP!" Jake was losing hope since two more boards had started to break. Things got worse when Fawn and Yuta started singing. "Jen!" Jen snapped her fingers and, while Jake could hear their voices, he didn't feel the urge to obey them. It seemed Jen had figured out how to set up a hypnotic filter of sorts. He was sure it would never be used or brought up again. "Thanks!" With that out of the way, he could focus on keeping the door shut again. The problem was that the attempts to force to door open were getting stronger and more frequent.


Jen and the entranced Mina were focusing their energies into a single sphere of energy that was growing larger as they continued the chant written in the book. It swirled with blue and pink energy and floated above their heads like a big helium balloon.

The last of the wood finally gave way and Jake was forced to back away from the door as Sarah kicked it in, which was impressive, given that she still had her heels on. "Join ussss..." the girls droned as they shambled and crawled over the threshold.

"Join usss... ssso fun..." said Yuta as her eyes morphed into pink spirals.

"Crap, they're in!" Jake called. "Don't look!"

He covered his eyes as Yuta said, "Come to me and feel the love."

"Yes, Mistress Yuta." Jake risked a peek and saw Jen walking forward with her arms outstretched. She had pink spirals in her eyes as she kissed Yuta, her eyes becoming normal-shaped but glassy and pink.

"See? It feels so good, doesn't it?"

"Yes, Yuta. So good."

"Well, we're screwed," Jake declared, certain of their defeat. But the room was getting brighter.  Jake turned to see Mina, still entranced and still focusing on her spell. The pink and blue sphere of energy was now as big as Mina herself. Her glowing blue eyes suddenly became much brighter and the entire sphere turned the same shade. The orb exploded brilliantly and a wave of blue energy washed over the entire household.

All the girls now had glowing blue eyes like Mina's as they stood, frozen, while the magic did its work. One-by-one, the girls' eyes returned completely to normal and they awoke from their trances.

"Ugh, what happened?" asked Diana, groggily shaking her head.

"It looks like Dawn's chocolates were more potent that we thought and the effects can be spread through kissing. It was kinda hot but also kinda scary." Jake was sure the girls would have glared at him or hit him for that, were they not still getting over the love potion effects. "Anyway, Mina and Jen used some magic to undo it."

The girls began thanking the two until Jen said, "Actually, I only got the book and helped get it started. Yuta hypnotized me part-way through. I guess Mina finished it on her own. She's the hero here."

"But I couldn't have done it if you hadn't hypnotized me and given me that confidence boost," Mina replied.

"But without you, there would have been no one to finish the spell."

"But-"

"Girls, girls," Jessica interrupted. "It doesn't matter who did the most. All that matters is that you two were both awesome and you saved us. Thank you."

"Now that that's settled," Sarah said, getting everyone's attention. "You said this was all because of Dawn?" Jake and Jen nodded.

"Hey, come on, Sarah," Dawn said, backing away, terrified. "H-how was I supposed to know they-"

"I remember it all, Dawn." Sarah's voice was seething with anger. "Everything we did and said to each other, you making me help you trick Katia and Yuta and worst of all, making me help you manipulate Jessica."

"I-I was under the influence of the-"

"Tell me, Dawn. Do you know what the penalty is for drugging an officer of the law?"

"No, and I don't want to find out!" Dawn fled the room, followed immediately by Sarah. The others sweat dropped.

"Well, how about we go finish those pancakes and celebrate Jen and Mina saving the day?" Jake asked. The others cheered and they headed to the kitchen.


* * *


Jake and the girls were soon eating their pancakes and talking about how it felt to be so in love with someone and how great Mina and Jen were and how hot all the kissing was in retrospect and how Jake was gonna get pummeled if he didn't shut his mouth.

Even Sarah had managed to calm down and she and Dawn joined the others. For once, Dawn seemed legitimately remorseful. "I'm sorry for what I did," she said with no prompting from Sarah.

"It's okay, Dawn," said Jen. "I know how you can make it up to us."

"What is it?"

"You can... look at the flame!" Jen quickly produced another flame in front of Dawn's eyes. "Feel its warmth as you give in and obey me."

"Pretty... I obey, Mistress Jen. Command me and I shall obey."

"Good. Now, to make up for what you did me, you're going to be my and Mina's servant for the rest of the day."

"Yes, I obey Mistress Jen and Mistress Mina.

"Then you can start by showing Mina your gratitude for releasing you from your own love potion."

"Yes, Mistress Jen." Dawn sat on Mina's lap, put her arms around the girl's neck and kissed her. Mina was too shocked to react until Dawn broke off the kiss. "Happy Valentine's Day, Mistress Mina."

"Yuta, I think your games are starting to make Dawn slightly into girls," said Jake. The others chuckled.

"Not what I was expecting but whatever," said Jen. "Come back here and be my chair, Dawn."

"Yes, Mistress Jen." Dawn walked over and got down on hands and knees, her wings receding.

Jen sat on her back and said, "Aaaah. So much more comfortable than those hard, wooden chairs."

"I am happy to please you, Mistress."

"Then vibrate for me, chair."

"Yes, Mistress."

"A-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-h s-o-o-o-o-o-o-o g-o-o-o-o-o-o-d-d-d-d..." Jake and Mina were reminded of the events from earlier in the day by that statement.

Their chatting was interrupted by a scratching noise. Diana walked over to the window and saw Alpha trying to get into the house. She went to the back door and pulled it. "Uh, guys? We're still stuck in the house..." T_T
Valentine's Day is approaching and a new love potion-laced chocolate is hitting the streets. Can Jake make it through this holiday with his sanity (and his singlehood) intact?



I had so much trouble with this story. I had two ideas for how it would go and couldn't decide:
1. The infection idea starting almost as soon as Sarah & Dawn get affected, leading to a zombie outbreak-ish story that felt a little too dark.
2. Just Sarah & Dawn and Kaita & Yuta getting affected seemed a bit boring but more light-hearted.

I eventually decided to use elements of both along with ideas suggested by ~godzillahomer such as the idea of the food getting spiked. I'd also like to thank ~gbrn32e for proofreading, pointing out mistakes and coming up with the brilliant name for it.

Some tweaks got made along the way such as:
*Jessica originally hypnotized herself when she confronted Dawn and Sarah but I rewrote it since I think I've been overusing that idea.
*Lucia's conversion was originally Sarah assimilating Jessica.
*The whole bit with Yuta and Katia talking about sharing Jake was from the first version and took place after the newly infected Jessica being immune to hypnosis and getting Yuta. Yuta would then hypnotize and convert Katia the way she does Jen in the final version and that's when their conversation would happen.
*Jen meditating also came from the first version. Jen and Lucia hid in Jen's closet and she summoned the book before sending it to Mina (who was with Jake in his room) just as the other girls found them and assimilated them.
*Jen hypnotizing Dawn was originally going to be her hypnotizing Yuta as payback for her hypnotizing her but it's much more fair for her to get Dawn instead.

Ultimately, I'm happy with the final result. Much better than it would have been with either of the other two versions. The next one should be better though.

And as for who's been spreading these chocolates... maybe it was a certain other succubus who likes to spread the love...
