Liz led Crona into her and Patty's room and told her to sit on the bed as they got everything ready for the dance. Crona watched as Tsubaki drew a bath, Patty laid out makeup and hair supplies, Maka ironed her dress, and Liz ran around to everyone making sure they were doing their jobs perfectly. Crona giggled and some of the tension in her eased away.

"Hey, do you think it's funny that I am running around trying to make you look perfect?" Liz growled.

"No, I was just thinking, Kidd's OCD must have rubbed off a bit on you." Crona let the nervousness show on her face again.

"Crona, this will be just like any other dance, you just have someone to impress this time." Liz said, softly. "And we are going to make that happen."

"Ok, what do I need to do first?" she asked.

"Well, first you have to take a bath and get your skin silky smooth and make you smell really good." Patty told Crona. "Who do you want to bathe you?"

"Patty, you are not allowed on account of what you did to Maka on her first date with Soul. I'm sure Crona can bathe herself." Liz interjected. Tsubaki nodded and led Crona to the already full tub.

She soon walked out of the bathroom wearing her dress.

"Ok, what comes next?" Crona asked. Patty grinned evilly at her.

"Next comes hair and makeup!" she screeched and backed Crona into a corner.

"I DON'T KNOW HOW TO DEAL WITH MAKEUP!" Crona yelled as the short girl attacked her with eye shadow.

"Hey! Patty! Stop making her mad!" Maka yelled and pulled the blonde off of Crona. "I don't like makeup either, but it really does help, and these 3," she motioned to Liz, Patty, and Tsubaki, "are the best at it." Crona gulped loudly and nodded.

"Ok, I will let you put a little bit of makeup on me, I guess. I really can't deal with a lot though…" Crona frowned.

"As long as Patty doesn't go overboard we should be ok." Tsubaki said, shooting a warning glance over at Patty.

Kidd's POV

"BLACK*STAR DO NOT TOUCH ANYTHING!" I yelled to my friend as we set up the ballroom at the top of Shibusen. We were almost done, and the guests were supposed to arrive in about a half an hour. The only problem now was Black*star's addiction to messing up the symmetry.

"Yea, yea, yea. Cool it shinigami boy. I'm not doing anything… yet." Black*star yelled as he jumped off the stage.

"Please, jump of the middle of the stage next time. It ruins the symmetry for a few seconds when you jump off the side." I said as I adjusted the punch bowls.

"So, Kidd, I know Black*star is going out with Tsubaki, and I have Maka, but who are you taking?" Soul asked me. I blushed and looked away. "Are you taking the Thompsons again? When will you get an actual girlfriend?"

"No, not Liz and Patty, I asked Crona." I said, straightening up to look them in the eyes. Their jaws dropped and their eyes bugged out of their heads. "Stop looking at me like that, we are not going out yet, but I hope by the end of the night we are."

"Damn, Kidd, I never thought it would be you and Crona, I thought you would pick one of the sisters!" Black*star yelled out.

"Or both." Soul smirked.

"Shut up, Crona is hot! She may not be perfectly symmetrical but neither am I!" I yelled.

"Dude, I thought Crona was a guy…" Black*star said. That set me off.

"Crona is a beautiful young woman that I love. She is amazing and I hope she will accept my confession tonight." I said.

"Well, we have 15 minutes to kill, how about you go get that crazy father of yours and we wait for our girls?" Black*star asked.

"My father is really not as crazy as you think." I mumbled, walking down the stairs towards the death room.

"Father? Are you here?" I yelled as I opened the heavy metal door.

"Hey kiddo! How ya been?" father asked me.

"I'm fine, but I have something to ask you." He nodded for me to continue. "Well, you see, I asked someone to the dance yesterday, and I was wondering if I could ask her to be my girlfriend?" father's masked eyebrows rose.

"Well, who is this girl?" he asked me.

"Well, that's the problem. It's Crona. I like Crona Gorgon." I swear, if father had been drinking something, it would have come out of the nose hole in his mask.

"Well, she is not under Medusa's control anymore, so I guess you can. Why were you so afraid to ask?" father asked.

"Well, she is part witch and she did try to kill DWMA students, but that is all behind her now." I said nervously.

"Yea, you can ask her, but I always thought you would end up with one of your pistols. Maybe even both…" he said thoughtfully.

"Ok, well you have to go give your speech." I reminded him and we walked to the ballroom together. I took my usual place next to him while he did his short speech. I looked up to the doors just in time to see the 5 girls come in. wow, Crona looked sexy. The green dress really complimented her hair. Oh god, the neck line was low. She has really grown up, her robust chest bouncing slightly as she walked in the pink strappy stilettos, her ass swinging as she got used to the feeling of being that tall. Crona looked up to me just as father finished.

"Uhh, kiddo, do you need a minute to calm down before you do your speech?" father asked me.

"What?" I asked. I was confused; I did not know what he was talking about… until I looked down. "Shit…" I mumbled, trying to hide my arousal. "Just give me the microphone. Uhh, well, thank you all for *ehm* coming tonight, we really appreciate it. Just *erm* have some fun and mingle. Well, gottagobye" I ran off-stage and behind the curtains. I was trying to coach my member to stay down when I heard a soft giggle.

"h-hey Kidd. You ok back here?" Crona asked me, a light pink blush brushing her beautiful face.

"Oh god Crona, I just embarrassed the hell out of myself up there. Why do you have to be so damned hot?" I covered my mouth, realizing what had just come out of it.

"y-you think I'm hot?" she asked, her blush growing to the color of her hair.

"Well, I was not supposed to say that, but yes. I think you are beautiful, sexy, hot, caring, sweet, kind, and oh so many more things." I said, grabbing her hand. "Crona Gorgon, would you do me the honor of being my first girlfriend?" I asked, putting a small rectangular box into her hand. She stared at me, wide eyed and finally opened the box. Inside, there was a necklace with our two souls on it.

"Yes Kidd. I will."

"C-Crona? Can I kiss you?" I asked quietly.

"I don't know if I can deal with kissing." I looked down sadly. "But I can try to deal with it." I looked back up to her gorgeous eyes and leaned in slowly.

"Hey kiddo! So what did she say?" father said as he walked in. "oh, I guess she said yes… well, I'll leave you two alone for now, but no promises that others may come in."

"Way to kill the moment, father." I said my face still only millimeters away from Crona's.

"Sorry, kiddo. I'll be going now." I waited for him to walk away and took my chance.

I leaned in the rest of the way and our lips finally touched in an explosion of love. I could almost feel the electricity that spiraled down our spines, making us shiver. My eyes widened as her arms snaked their way around my shoulders, and mine down to her waist. I leaned in a bit more and pulled her body closer to mine, deepening the kiss. Unfortunately, we had to break apart for air.

We just stood there for a minute or two, until we heard wild cheering from the guests in the ballroom. I looked over to where the wheel was to pull the curtains apart and saw Liz and Patty smirking evilly at us. Father had told them Crona and I were back there and they had rolled up the curtain, exposing us as we kissed.

"Dammit, can we get 5 minutes of peace in this place?" I whispered and pulled away from Crona to put the necklace on her. "Hey Crona, how about we ditch this party and go back to the mansion?" I whispered. She nodded nervously and we walked off stage, our hands clasped together.
