Arella Roth was pacing back and forth in her living room, silently thinking to herself about the party that she set up tonight. She had been planning it for months, with Kori at her side of course. Both of them thought since Arella's daughter, Rachel, had turned 18 last month, she should find a simple "mate" as Kori liked to put it. Arella knew that Rachel had never had even a simple boyfriend before so this was going to be a difficult task. As Arella thought about the idea more, she paced even faster across the living room floor.

By no surprise, Kori entered the house with a knock and a smile on her face.

"Hello, Mrs. Roth. Is Rachel here?" Kori questioned Arella.

Arella walked up to Kori and sighed. "Yes, she is upstairs in her room."

Kori smiled and started up the stairs, but was interrupted by Arella as she said, "Wait Kori." Kori stopped and looked at Arella.

"I think it's time we talk to her about the party tonight."

Kori's face lit up and squealed as she led Arella up the stairs. Arella stumbled up the stairs, trying keep up with red-haired beauty.

As they walked over to Rachel's closed door, Arella knocked lightly which Kori ignored and just burst through the door.

Arella slowly walked behind Kori to find Rachel on her bed, face behind a book.

"Yes, Mother?" she responded from behind her book, as if she sensed that her mother came through the doorway.

Arella coughed slightly and spoke, "Rachel, Kori and I have been thinking and we want to know…"

Kori interrupted Arella and yelled with excitement, "Are you interested in finding a mate?"

Rachel looked up from her book quizzingly and shrugged. "I've never really thought about finding a boyfriend, much less liking one"

"Well you're almost 18, and we think it's time for you to find a good boyfriend." Arella stated.

"Also, we are also having the party tonight to help you find a mate." Kori smiled greatly as she ran to Arella's closet and ran back to the room. In Kori's hand was a black bag with the costume inside of it. Rachel looked quizzingly at the bag and pointed at it. Kori noticed and shouted, "OH! Sorry, it is supposed to be the costume of a raven." Rachel stared emotionlessly at the bag then at her mother, who was nodding approvingly. Rachel sighed as she got up out of the bed and grabbed the costume and went to go change in the closet.

Moments later, Rachel walked out of the closet dressed in her raven costume. The costume was just a black, thigh length strapless dress with purple feathers at the bottom hem of the dress. Kori stood beside her in front of the body-length mirror, dressed like a princess that just came out of a fairytale.

"Oh my goodness Rachel, you look glorious!" Kori screeched happily as she stared at Rachel through the mirror.

Arella smiled at Raven.

"So, will you…" Arella started.

"I'll try to find someone tonight." Rachel said with little enthusiasm. Arella still smiled greatly, not even bothered by the blandness of Rachel's voice.

Kori fixed Rachel's hair into a high stylish bun with two curly strands, one on each side of her face, caressing the sides of her face and put some black and purple feathers in her hair. Kori backed away from Rachel's hair as she admired her work. "You are most ready to find a mate tonight, Rachel!"

Garfield stood nervously in front of the Roth entrance to the ballroom.

"What if we get caught?" he said with shakiness in his voice.

Garth gave him a little push forward. "Don't worry about it. I'll get you guys. Garth was dressed as a merman, Richard was dressed as Batman (A/N: Oh… the irony), and Garfield was dressed as Zorro.

Garth pushed open the closed doors and they all entered the crowded ballroom. Garfield let out the breath he had been holding. Everyone was dressed in costumes so he wouldn't be recognized easily now.

Scanning the room, he saw a girl dressed as a black cat, but with pink hair. He recognized her vaguely. He then realized that it was Jenna. Jenna apparently caught his eye. She didn't notice anything at first, but then she tensed up, figuring out that it was Garfield.

Still watching her, he saw Jenna walk up to a big burly man in a fancy suit instead of a costume, otherwise known as Trigon Roth. Garfield's body went cold and stumbled behind a pillar. Peeking from the sides he continued to watch the conversation take action. Trigon was obviously drunk so he just smiled and shoved Jenna back into the party, but she refused as Jenna forced Trigon to listen to her. He saw her point in his direction. Garfield froze as Trigon almost looked straight at him. He saw Trigon's face turn from serious to fury as he listened to Jenna. Instead of stomping over to Garfield, ready to kick his ass all the way to China, he pointed to the door, indicating that Jenna leave. Jenna just stomped her foot so hard on the ground it shook. She harshly bumped her shoulder on Garfield's on her way out. He looked away quickly and walked the opposite direction from Jenna.

As he scanned the party looking for someone to talk to, his eyes caught onto Tara. She was dressed as a slutty bunny as she chatted away with some guy dressed as a cowboy by the punch table. Garfield felt a tug of jealousy in his gut as he made his way towards her, but then someone else caught his eye.

This girl was dressed as a raven, black and purple feathers flowing behind her, kind of like a tail, as they caressed the ground. She also had black, almost purple, hair that was styled into a bun as if some angel styled it by their own hands. She wore pale skin that shined as she stood in the moonlight shining from a window behind her as she grazed over the punch bowl. Her pale skin would have looked sickly on another person, but on her it looked absolutely gorgeous. Garfield didn't even feel it when his feet moved into overdrive walking over to the mysterious girl that was gazing upon the crowd.

"Hey there." He said softly as he approached her from behind. The girl turned around and looked up at him.

"Hi." she said even softer as she smiled.

"You're the most beautiful girl I've ever seen in my entire life." He muttered out before he could even catch it.

He saw her face creep up a blush under her mask as she looked down at the floor. No guy had ever called her beautiful before, much less the most beautiful girl he had ever seen.

She wanted to say something back but the masked being rambled on.

"I know it's sudden, since I don't know you or anything. For some reason though, I feel drawn to you, like some string is pulling me closer to you little by little."

He held her hand in his and kissed it. Oh how he longed to hear her name, but he thought that it could wait until later. He looked up from her hand to notice that the mystery girl's mouth was agape and she was blushing more than ever. She regained herself quickly though and smiled.

"If you really think that, why don't you have a dance with me." She purred as she grabbed his hand and pulled him to the dance floor.

Garfield was shocked that she would be into him so quickly. I mean, she doesn't even know him. Either way, he was ecstatic to have a dance with her.

A slow song crept its way to the speakers as they reached a spot to dance together on. He grabbed her waist as she wrapped her hands around his neck. For the short moment, it was slightly awkward, but they soon melted into the song as they danced in each other's arms. Every now and then he would give her a quick spin and spin her back into his arms just as quickly, as if he never wanted her to leave his embrace. As the song reared to its last beat, he dipped her in a slow manor and brought her back up just to look into her eyes. Both Garfield and the mystery girl were smiling greatly.

To his surprise, the girl and pushed her lips onto his, forcefully but gently. He was taken the slightest bit aback by this, but he just as quickly sunk into her as he wrapped his arms around her waist and lifted her slightly off the ground. He quickly forgot about Tara. To him, this girl was simply amazing.

"Rachel, Arella wants to speak with you." Kori said with an edge in her voice as she walked up to the intimate couple. Rachel slowly pulled apart and lingered to look into his eyes just for a little longer. Slowly, she turned from him and walked away with Kori. Garfield's eyes followed her as he saw her walk through a doorway, disappearing from his sight. He couldn't move. He didn't want to move. He wanted to stay there and pick up that girl and carry her off into the sunset.

'Wait,' Garfield thought, 'Isn't Arella the wife of Trigon Roth?' Garfield slightly gasped at his realization. 'That means that…. Rachel is a Roth?' Garfield suddenly felt a wave of anger, sadness, and hurt wash over him. The girl that he loved within a second was a Roth? But… he couldn't! Her family was the enemy of his family, but…. She wasn't. Garfield snapped back into reality, realizing that the party was almost over and slowly walked towards the door to the outside to meet Richard and Garth.

Rachel walked with Kori, but when she got into the doorway, she dragged Kori with her against the wall next to the doorway.

Kori was surprised by this and whispered, "What? Why are we stopping?"

Rachel peered from behind the wall and pointed in the direction towards Garfield and said softly, "Who…. Who is that?"

Kori looked to where Rachel was pointing. "Oh, I think that's Roy, son of the Harper family."

Rachel shook her head. "No not him." She pointed harder. "The other guy that's walking out the front door!"

Kori looked even farther. "That's Isaiah, son of the Crockett family."

Rachel face palmed. "No, not him either." She pointed directly at Garfield. "Who is THAT guy! RIGHT THERE! The guy in the mask and cape?"

Kori looked right at Garfield. "Oh…. I have no idea."

Rachel sighed and face-palmed, then looked up at Kori as if she was about to explode any moment. She could forget how ditzy her friend could be.

"Well, would you go and please find out?" she asked her as softly as she could, which was still pretty forceful.

Kori did so and came back to Rachel with a confusing expression written on her face that kind of looked calm, angry, and sad at the same time.

"That is Garfield, son of your rival family, the Logan's"

Rachel gasped as tears welled up into her eyes which she forced to keep from pouring down her flushed cheeks. He was a Logan? The boy that she only met 10 minutes ago, and fell in love with in a moment's notice. Rachel blinked away the tears as she turned to Kori. Kori just took her hand, not noticing Rachel's tear filled eyes, and walked her to the door.

"Didn't my mother wanted to see me?"

Kori just smiled sincerely and said, "Well, it is far too late now. Let's just go on to bed. Your mother is probably already asleep anyway." Kori walked out of the door towards her house as Rachel walked out of the ballroom to her own bedroom, her tears weighing her down.
