AN: You see, my best friend and her boyfriend (they're not married yet) looked so cute last night at the dance looking down on D.'s little cousin, that I was instantly inspired to write. He looks JUST like Darien, but A. is skinny as a stick and tall, but not taller that D., and she has short brown hair. But it was just so sweet, I was almost in tears, (probably because I was jealous as heck that I didn't have a sweet boyfriend like that) it was so perfect. So here it is, what happened on the day of the dance. ^_^ Reviews are a good thing minna-chan.

PS. All but a few names are fictional, and the ones I give won't matter anyway. ^R_R^

Title: The Fall Ball and Then Some

Chapter: 1

Author: Arabiana

Rating: R for naughty jokes and situations, possibly sexual.

It all started like this. You see, it was Saturday, the day that the drama and newspaper classes, both taught by the same teacher, went on a trip to the Texas Renaissance Festival. It was also the day of the Fall Ball a.k.a. the Halloween costume dance.

Now, you all are probably wondering who this is that is telling the story. Simple really. I am my own made up character. You may call me Areai (pronounced 'a ray'), everyone else does. Now remember, all of this is based on what really did happen on this Saturday past.

Well, I had to get up at 6:30 in the morning to be at the school dressed and ready by 8:00. I got there fifteen minuets early. Just my luck, I could have slept in. Anyway, I helped the distraught teacher, who we will call Ms. R. (Get it? Mrs., Ms. R.? Aw never mind, it was a bad joke anyway!) So after a couple of mix ups about which bus we were taking and which bus the volley ball team was taking and where this person and that person were, we were off.

The bus ride was pretty uneventful, probably because it was too early in the morning to do anything too active. Well we got to the Festival fine and got in there with no mishaps.

Everything went great until about 1:30. We were scheduled to leave at 4:30, but I was leaving with my family, who had also come, at 3:00. Well, me and my partner Ami met up with Lita and Serena. Lita had on chain mail armor and a lethal looking sword hung at her side. Serena was dressed as a fairy with a long white dress with butterfly-wing sleeves (like the one on the moon, but no gold rings) and blue and purple fairy wings. She had on white suede, knee-high boots and her hair was up in the usual buns, but the usually free hair was braided . Lita wore no helmet so to look festive she had put glitter all over her face and put her hair up in a french twist with baby's breath sprigs and light blue wildflowers accenting it.

Now, you see the main beverage sold at the festival is beer and other alcohol. Well all of us were walking around looking at the sites and basically having a good time. That is until this guy, obviously drunk, swaggered up to us and leaned down next to Lita's ear and said, "I see your fairy friend there has gotten to you. Your face is covered in fairy cum." Lita of course *FREAKED OUT*, and before you could say 'good day' had knocked out the guy and was ready to put him in the ICU of the hospital, but me and the other girls grabbed her and dragged her off of him. Of course this had attracted a crowd and the festival officials, who were cleverly in disguise as Spanish soldiers.

Well we, I should say Ami, told them what had happened and they took the man to the security office and extended their deepest apologies to all of us. Well, Lita was still mad as fire and Serena was looking distraught by the man's comment. So to cheer them up, Ami and I took Serena and Lita to the haunted house.

You get led though the pitch black of night and by scenes of blood, gore, and horror. To go through the house the group you were with all had to hold hands. Otherwise you would get lost. So Ami is clenching my hand as hard as she can. Serena is permanently clamped onto Lita and the guide. Ami is between me and Lita. I go last. Lita and I were having a blast and we didn't scream in terror like the others.

Halfway through the tour, Serena got beyond scared and wailed, "I wish Darien were here!!! He always makes me feel safe!!!" Darien had been with us earlier, but had to go off and do something. We didn't have a clue where he was or if he was even still here. Well, the funniest thing happened.

Right after she screamed that, it got really quiet and then someone whispered, "I'm glad you feel that way about me my love. But with the way I look now, I would probably scare you more than make you feel safe." It was Darien.

"Darien?! Is that you? Oh God, I'm so scared that I don't care what you look like!"

Well, she asked for it. You heard her say it. You're a witness you hear, so don't leave this story till the end, got it? Good.

Darien stepped into the meager glow of the flashlight. We all gasped, he just looked too real not to be what he was dressed as. He was dressed in black clothes with a black cape, black lining too, and when he talked you could see the curved points of his blood sucking teeth. He was a vampire, and a hot one at that. He walked up to Serena and just stood there waiting. She had to tilt her head back to look into his eyes. Her mouth was agape and she seemed to be in shock.

"Serena if you want I'll-Oof!" The oof was the sound of Darien getting the wind knocked out of him as Serena collided with his chest. They stood there embracing for a moment. We could see that they were whispering and blushing, but we knew we'd find out later from Serena what they were saying. But for your benefit, we'll let you in on it now.

"You look gorgeous." Whispered Darien.

"You my prince, look incredibly sexy. All dark and mysterious to all but me."

"What do you think of this for tonight's costume?"

"It's perfect, and it will look great with mine."

"Lets go sweet."

"Yes. Lets."

Aren't they cute together.
