Allie groaned in frustration as her creature burst into water. The third one today. She was training with Ray, while Gabe was off trying to familiarize himself with his stalkerspheres.

"Come on," bragged ray, "you can't possibly hope to defeat the natural."

"Oh please I wasn't ready that time, let's try one more time," Allie replied

"Okay," he said, "but I'm still gonna win AGAIN!"

"Scareadorable of gloom hallow," exclaimed Allie as she summoned her creature. "as much as I hate it Ray is right if I don't change my strategy he's gonna win again," Allie thought. She remembered that you shouldn't fight the creature but attack the duelist. she thought on how she could use that to her advantage. She heard Ray summoning Kenina the Igniter. Then an idea popped into her head. She told Squeaky to lure Kenina as far away as possible but still in eyesight. Squeaky did as she was told. They were both facing the battle and Ray was so absorbed into the duel that he didn't even see Allie slowly backup into the shadows. She maneuvered quietly until she was right behind him.

"Hey Ray," she whispered loud enough for him to hear. He jumped 4 ft in the air and turned around to meet face to face with the blond duelist. He was painfully aware of the proximity. A blush painted his face.

"H-h-hi Allie, I didn't...um...hear you," he spluttered.

"I know," she said simply with a troublesome smirk evident in her lips. Ray desperately wanted to pull his eyes away from her emerald ones but he just couldn't. She took one step forward and his feet seemed to be the only body part still working took a step back. She then took another step forward and he another back. It went on like that until Ray's back touched the wall. He was trapped.

"What's wrong Ray," Allie asked innocently as she pressed her body up against his.

"W-well I...um...i-it's just t-t-that," ray squeaked his voice an octave higher

"What," asked Allie her face now really close to his and her breath blew at his bangs. Their noses were touching and their lips centimeters apart, Allies heart was pounding painfully against her chest and she almost forgot what she was doing this for. She rested her forearms on his shoulders. Ray was flabbergasted. His mind was on overtime but still in a small corner of his mind he knew he was enjoying this. Allie threw caution to the wind and crashed her lips on his warm inviting ones. It felt amazing she forgot everything and focused mind and body on his lips. The kiss was soft and innocent. Ray couldn't think every thing was flashing and when Allie's soft lips came in contact with his he didn't even try to think he just acted and now was no exception.

Ray licked her lower lip and Allie allowed entry. The kiss was quickly becoming hot with one of Ray's arms wrapped around her waist and the other holding her hip. Her hand was tangled in rays jet black hair and the other around his neck. Then Allie heard the sound of a gauntlet getting turned back into a glove and she remembered her mission. She pulled away before Ray could react and focused her sight in the battle that Squeaky was currently fighting. She commanded sonic waveblasts at the fire creature before Ray could turn his glove into a gauntlet. The firebird burst into flames with a screech. Allie ran to Squeaky and gave her a hug.

"Great job girl," she said then sent her back to the darkness realm. Slowly she turned around to face Ray with a grin.

"I beat the natural," she bragged

"Yea cause you cheated," he said cocking his eyebrow

"Me," she gasped dramatically," cheat, I would never as I recall we have to fight the duelist not the creature."

"oh really," he said with a replica of her smirk. She nodded and turned around to walk away a winner unfortunately Ray had other plans. He made his way behind and snaked an arm around her waist then pressed her up against the wall. There he continued from where he left off.
