Chapter 3: Prom?!

They say, be afraid
You're not like the others
Futuristic lover
Different DNA
They don't understand you

You're from a whole 'nother world
A different dimension
You open my eyes
And I'm ready to go
Lead me into the light

-E.T. (Katy Perry)

Of all of the world's messed up punishments, Rex and Allen have to agree that theirs takes the cake. When the albino returned to Providence, it was thought that he could help Rex, but the moment the black haired teenager started insulting the hulking, terrifying, E.V.O. bunny, not that they knew it at the time, Allen was infuriated. The resulting physical fight caused more damage than the rabbit, so they were told to make nice and that they were now roommates.

What's more is that in the middle of their fight, Noah called to ask a favor of both of them, for them to go to prom.

Noah and Rex look at Allen with mild amusement as the E.V.O. gets aggravated with the two girls flitting around him, trying to make him look pretty for their currently-late gay friend Ryder. "Why don't you want to wear a dress?" Bonnie asks, somehow managing not to hurt Allen at all despite her bad luck.

"Because," he growls, slightly angry, mainly at Noah for getting him into this mess, "I'm not a girl…" He does stay put though for the black eyeliner they smear around his eyes, despite his earlier comment about not being a girl, and even lets them put neutral lip gloss on. But that was only when Ryder showed up.

He's a lean muscled man with luminescent green eyes and a shock of red hair that covers his right eye, a bad boy, and Allen thinks that he's definitely eye candy. Rex, on the other hand, gets more irritated with him with each passing second.

"What's your problem?" the albino hisses when Bonnie and Claire drag Ryder away to wrangle him into his tux.

"I don't like the way he looks at you," the Hispanic teen whispers while Noah excuses himself.

"So? Maybe I like to be looked at every once in a great while."

Allen sighs and looks back the way Ryder went. "He reminds me of my ex-boyfriend, Spyder, until he hit on Breach... She was just as angry at him as I was." His silver eyes grow cold like chips of tempered steel, and his discolored, left hand fists in the material of the white tuxedo Holiday bought for him. "I hate him so much..."

Rex flinches at his harsh tone and grabs the teen's arm. "He better not come back then... I'd gladly rip him apart for you." The albino smiles and wraps his hand around the other E.V.O.'s, only to let go when the ordinary humans come in.

"Shall we go?" Allen nods, smiling widely and allows himself to be led out the door while Noah and Rex grab the girls.

From the moment they step out of the door, things go from bad to worse. Bonnie's curse of bad luck sends Rex into the ocean twice and their limo to its watery grave; then it caused the restaurant they were at to burn to the ground while the Providence agents go after the rabbit that seems to hold a grudge against Rex. When they return, it's to ashes and franticness, and Allen quickly goes to Ryder's side to make sure he's alright despite his black-haired partner's obvious distaste for the other.

Noah, having picked up on this, pulls him off to the side at their next attempt at supper. "What is your problem with Ryder?"

"I don't have a problem with him!" Rex hisses. "I have a problem with how close he's trying to get to Allen!"

"Why should it matter?"

"Holiday made me promise to protect him at all costs, even emotionally, and I have a feeling that if this goes on, it's going to explode and so will Allen."

"What makes you think that?" Noah asks, crossing his arms over his chest.

"Because he's not real nice when angry. Why do you think that I've been favoring my right side? It still hasn't completely healed from when he clawed me over a stupid rabbit!"

Surprise alights in the blonde's eyes, and a sigh leaves his mouth. "Alright, just try not to be so much like a guard dog."

"I'll try."

Ryder leads Bonnie over to a corner of the Providence tank later on in the night while Rex and Allen are arguing over the rabbit that appeared for a final time and whispers in her ear, "I don't think Allen really likes me."

"What makes you say that?" she asks, looking back over at the albino.

"I think he has feelings for Rex…"

At that, she nods. "I see it too… They'd be so good together."

"Yeah… Should we?"

She smiles and gets a devious look on her face. "We should."

Arriving at prom is a little sad, but that's only when they find that it's pretty much over. Still it doesn't stop them from trying to dance together, except, Bonnie and Ryder have different ideas. The redhead smiles at his date but shakes his head, leading him over to Rex. "I think the two of you should dance together."

The Hispanic E.V.O. stops and stares into the other's silver eyes and nods, mouthing, 'humor them?' Allen makes his actions his answer, leading the way to the dance floor where a slow song plays and prompts them to dance together, closely. "How's your date with Ryder going?" he asks, feeling a spark of bitterness race through him.

The albino rolls his eyes and unconsciously presses himself closer as he drawls, "he's been a gentleman, but he doesn't fit right... I'm certain there's another boy out there for him, because I'm not it."

"That's too bad. You looked pretty happy hanging on his arm."

Allen rolls his eyes. "But he's human. I don't always feel at peace around them." He tucks a piece of his waist-length, white hair behind his ear and finally notices the change of song at the same time his partner does.

"E.T. by Katy Perry?"

"It's fitting."

"How so?"

"We don't really belong in this world anymore." The experimental teen sighs and whispers, "one of these days, I'll have to show you my second home... The only downside is that Spyder's there."

"Then I get my chance to kick his ass." At Allen's laugh, Rex grins and leads the boy into another song.
