Ok, this is the moment you've all been waiting for!

Yipeeeeeee!

karone-sakura; yeah, I know it was short, but hopefully this will be much longer!

Fingers crossed!

SasukeBlade; wow, I didn't know this story was so good! Yeah, it would be kinda funny, wouldn't it? RUN AWAY! RUN AWAY! HEHEHE:)

Rachel's mom drove us over to the dance, since she didn't think we could make it all the way there in our dresses.

With Rachel's guidance, she first drove us to a moonlit park not too far away. Mainly because we'd forgotten to take pictures.

So, we spent about half an hour there, just getting photo's for everyone, including my mum. I swear, my mouth hurt from smiling so much.

So we piled back in and got dropped off at the school. Cassie almost tripped on her shoes, but thankfully I caught her.

"How can girls wear this all day every day" Cassie muttered.

"Don't ask me" I shook my head.

"Ok, I'll pick you girls up after the dance, all right?" Rachel's mom called from the car.

"Sure mom! See you later!" Rachel waved as her mother drove off, leaving us out front. I turned to the building in front of us, biting my lip and trying not to do what Cassie did. Damn these high heels!

Ok, they weren't as high as Rachel's, but they were high enough.

"So, what now?" I asked. Rachel looked at me like I was an idiot.

"Now we go inside and have a fun time"

"Riiight. Suuuure"

"Jade, shut up!" Rachel snapped. I did.

I really, really didn't want to start a fight with her tonight. For one thing I wouldn't win.

I also knew I wouldn't be able to run in this dress.

"Let us… relax… as Rachel says" Rtaia said softly, seeming to have little trouble on her shoes. After all, she had pretty sandals with no heel whatsoever.

Lucky alien.

So, I took a deep breath and started to move towards the entrance of the school. Rachel soon took the lead, walking like the blond supermodel she was. The three of us followed her through the winding halls until we reached the gym-turned-dancehall.

It had the lame streamers and balloons taped up on the walls, and that table with the drinks and stuff on it, covered in some lame plastic tablecloth. There were lights flashing and music from like the 80's or whatever, and some DJ guy trying to act all cool and stuff.

Yep, it was a school dance all right.

"Jade, come on!" Rachel cried, waving me in. It was only then that I realised I'd stopped at the door. I quickly hurried to keep up with my friends, trying not to get noticed by too many people.

I felt very… wrong… in a dress.

"Hey, so where are the guys?" Cassie asked, looking about the same way I felt.

"I can't see them. Then again there's a lot of people here" Rachel said, standing on her tiptoes and looking over the crowd. I saw Rtaia imitating her actions.

"I thought I saw… oh never mind, it is not him" Rtaia dropped back down, looking a little disappointed.

"There! Near the punch!" Rachel pointed, and I looked over to see Jake and what I thought was Ax. We walked over, watching as Jake and Ax finally turned to notice us.

I swear, Jake's jaw dropped when he saw Cassie. Cassie was trying to hide behind me and Rtaia, but I gently pushed her forward, and Jake kind of opted for a loopy grin instead. Ax was a little confused.

Both of them looked stunning in their tuxes, I have to admit.

"A-I mean, Phillip, this is Rally. Rally, this is you-know-who" I pushed her forward towards him. She stumbled a little, but Ax caught her before she could fall, steadying her.

"Hel-hello-oo. It is nice-ice-ce to see you. Human limbs are quite qu-quite complicated to control, are they not-ot?" Ax said, and I saw Rtaia actually smile.

"Yes. Human legs are very wobbly"

Ax smiled. And then Rtaia smiled.

And I couldn't help but smile at them. They were so cute!

"Go on you two. Go dance" Rachel said pushing them away.

"But I do not know how" Rtaia said softly.

"I shall teach you" Ax assured her, pulling her out onto the dance floor. Thankfully it was a slow song so they wouldn't look too bad out there.

Unless one of them fell, and I cringed at the thought of it.

"Cassie, would you like to dance?" Jake asked, holding a hand out for her to take. He had this strange gleam in his eyes that I'd never seen before. It was a happy gleam.

"Um…" She looked at Rachel, then me. I just shook my head, holding my hands up in a 'don't ask me' gesture. Rachel just gave her the usual Rachel look.

"Okay then" she took Jake's hand, and both of them headed out onto the dance floor. I just watched as they settled comfortably in each others arms, swaying to the music.

"You did a good thing Jade" Rachel said, surprising me. I looked up at her.

"I did?"

"Yeah. You got us all to come her and just let some steam off for a bit"

"Yeah, well, sometimes you have to forget for a while. Ithiell said that"

"Ithiell is a very smart alien. But you…" she pointed at me "You my girl are smarter than you think you are"

"Is that a compliment?" I couldn't help but grin.

"If you take it that way, it is" Rachel replied cheekily. I just rolled my eyes, going to look back at the our friends, folding my arms over my chest.

"Don't do that" she suddenly pushed my arms down.

"Don't do what?"

"Don't cover yourself up. You have a bad habit of doing that"

I groaned, rolling my eyes up at the ceiling, then looking at her.

She wasn't looking at me. She was looking right ahead and smiling.

"Beside's Jade, I think our Princes have arrived"

"Huh?" My head shot to where she was looking.

And I swear my stomach caught in my throat.

There he was, with a human Tobias, looking like the hottest thing on earth.

Marco.

Funny thing was, he was looking at me the same way.

His jaw had dropped, and his eyes looked like they would pop out of his sockets.

A shove from Tobias got him moving again.

They both came up to us, smiling.

"Is that you Jade?"

"Um… yes" I gulped, feeling like I couldn't breathe.

"Oh my god! Who knew?"

"Who knew what?"

"That… uh… um… this!"

I just blinked at him. I was about as speechless as he was!

"Hey Tobias" Rachel said silkily, snapping me out of my daze "How about we go and request a song from the DJ"

"Sure" he took her hand and they walked away, leaving Marco and me alone.

I looked at him, and he looked at me.

"Look, Marco, about before, I… well I… uh…"

"Jade, it's ok. I understand. Now let's not ruin this night, ok?"

I smiled, nodding "All right"

He held out a hand, smiling at me "Would you like to dance oh gorgeous creature in front of me?"

"You know, if you weren't my boyfriend, I'd bop you one for that" I grinned taking his hand and letting him lead me out onto the dance floor. He put his arms around my waist, and I put my arms around his neck, nestling my head on his shoulder.

I'm telling you, after that week, feeling his warmth and his arms around me, it felt like I'd died and gone to heaven.

"Look into my eyes, you will see, what, you mean, to-o me"

It was then that I recognised that song. Brian Adams, 'Everything I do, I do it for you'. One of my favourite romantic songs.

"You know it's true, everything I do, I do it for you"

"It's true" Marco whispered in my ear.

"What?" I whispered back.

"Everything I do, I do it for you"

I lifted my head to look at him "You are so full of it"

"No, its true"

I opened my mouth to say something, but the look in his eyes right then, it was so serious… I just smiled.

"I know. Same" I leaned my forehead against his, holding him even tighter. He returned the tightness, then pulled my face towards his with one hand, and kissed me.

Ok, now I was in heaven.

We kissed and cuddled on the dance floor, swaying slightly to the music as we did. I eventually broke the kiss, pulling away enough to look at him and smile. He smiled back.

"Hey, psst!"

We turned to see Tobias and Rachel dance past us.

"Look over there" she hissed, pointing just behind us and to the left. Tobias just laughed, looking at whatever Rachel was pointing at.

I let go of Marco, turning to see what she was pointing at. And I snorted trying to hold in a laugh. It was funny and cute all at once!

Ax was pressing his lips against Rtaia's, and holding it there. Rtaia seemed shocked, but she was trying to return the pressure.

"Should we give them a demonstration?" Marco asked, that cheeky grin back on his face. I knew he couldn't be serious for long.

I blushed at the thought, then looked at them once more and shrugged.

"What do you think?"

"I say yes" he took my hand, leading me over to them, tapping on Ax's shoulder when he was close enough. They broke off their awkward kiss to look at us.

"Is there something the matter Marco?" Ax asked.

"Yeah, you're grossing people out with your kissing"

"But… is this not the way to kiss?"

Marco looked at me, cocking an eyebrow.

"Jade?"

"Let's show them" I nodded.

"Here, watch us" Marco pulled me close, kissing me in just the right way. I wrapped my arms around his neck as the kiss became deeper.

I guess after that we forgot about the two of them, because when we pulled apart we saw them…

Well… kissing. And not doing too bad a job of it either.

And they both seemed happy.

"Are we good, or are we good?" I smugly turned to Marco.

"Yes, Marco the Magnificent, and Jade the… uh…"

"Please, just Jade, ok?"

"All right then, Just Jade" he pulled me in for a cuddle. I just groaned, digging my head into his shoulder.

"You are never gonna stop making jokes, are you?"

"As long as I'm alive… I don't think so"

"Hmm, right" I muttered, restraining myself from making a smart comeback.

After all, this was probably the only night I'd ever get off, and away from the 'real' world.

I decided to enjoy it while I had the chance.

Thunk!

We turned to see Rtaia and Ax on the floor, looking like they'd tripped. I covered my eyes with a hand, shaking my head.

"Well, you can't win them every time" I heard Jake say from beside us. I looked around to see the others crowding around, and watched as Marco and Tobias helped them up, with a few snickers going around.

"Yeah. Okay" I shook my head, then grabbed Marco's hand and pulled him away.

"What?"

"I want to dance with you, right now, and forget about everything else, ok?"

"Well… ok" He grinned, wrapping me up in his arms again.

For tonight, I was happy. I was just a girl, enjoying a school dance with her boyfriend. Nothing else.

And you know, it didn't feel bad being all prettied up.

Don't ever, ever tell Amanda I told you that.
