A/N: Finally the long awaited chapter with all the AcexMira goodness. I'm sorry about the long awaited part truly I am. GI has bummed me out so far, if they make Runo in there and evil, she better do a wicked job at kicking Dan's butt. And thank all of you who reviewed, you really make my day. I'm surprised I got 20 reviews; I'm hoping to become a better writer and write longer chapters.

Ace sat down and read over the note again.

Ace,

I know you may not want to, but we need to talk. Meet me on the east wing balcony at 8:00.

Mira.

The clock on his bedside table blinked 7:50. He had 10 minutes until he was suppose to meet Mira. He was so nervous. What did she want? What would he say? Would he tell her how he felt? Would she fell the same way? Questions swarmed his head like angry bees. OK, he wasn't just nervous he was freaking out. And Ace never freaked out. I mean she was just a girl. Just a girl. It was the same thing Dan and Shun use to think about Runo and Alice. Now they were currently enable to unhitich their lips off the girls. If Shun couldn't keep his cool around a girl...Ace didn't stand a chance. At 7:55 he started to make his way towards the east wing.

On his way he saw Marcuho leave the massive kitchen . "I have some work to do, some of the others are in the kitchen."

The kettle whistled loudly as he enter the kitchen. Maria sat cross-legged at the head of the cafe table that had been placed in the kitchen. You could almost see the hearts in Baron's eyes as he sat her tea before her. Maria looked very pleased with her self as she thanked Baron and gazed at the other 4 people in the room. Runo was sitting on Dan's lap and Dan's arms were placed protectively around her waist. Shun kissed Alice's cheek tenderly while placing her tea cup in front of her. The whole scene seemed so sugar coated Ace felt like he had just gained a cavity. But he knew there was a huge difference between watching and being a part of the love scene. Standing outside looking in, usually makes a guy jealous or gag. Inside you really didn't care, not when you felt like your heart is dangerously close to overflow. Most guys just try to keep it cool and not go all Romeo, depends on how he actually fells about the girl. Probably why Dan was a jerk around Runo sometimes. Anyway, Ace let that little speculation drift into the back of his head as he stopped in his tracks, he had reached the balcony.

Outside, it was a beautiful star-lit night. It was the type of night that made everyone feel special to be under it , like someone had hung billons of tiny lanterns in the sky just for you. Mira had her elbows propped up on the railing with her head resting in her hands. Ace walked up to Mira and stood beside her; he didn't dare speak first.

"It's nice to know," Mira said softly " that earth and vestale are covered in the same blanket of stars. It makes me feel more at home here."

"I guess your right", Ace replied. He didn't know what else to say .

Mira glanced over at Ace. "I suppose you want me to cut to the chase, huh?" Ace nodded, there was no avoiding this now. "Well, nothing 's been the same around here since the truth or dare game. It almost seems like you've been avoiding me. I was wondering if the kiss had anything to do with that?" Her voice was shaky when she spoke. And before giving Ace a chance to reply, Mira spoke again. "Actually, to be more honest, I want to know if you – you felt anything when kissed?" Mira bit her lip.

Ace bent down and whispered in Mira's ear "Since we are being honest, tell me Mira Clay, do you like me more than a friend?"

Mira hesitated than whispered back "Yes." That's all Ace needed to hear. He brushed Mira's hair out of her face and kissed her. Ace felt his heart hammering in his chest.

Just as they pulled away they heard someone wolf whistle, they turn around to see Dan smirking at Ace. Runo smacked him on the arm "I told you not to do that!" She turned towards us. "Sorry, I'll take care of him." Runo peaked Dan on the lips and dragged him, blushing outta our sight.

Mira looked at me mildly worried, mildly amused "Do you think we just caused Dan's ultimate demise?"

"Well, I guess that depends on how fast he can pin her down and kiss her. Dan's doomed." The both of them chuckled. Mira cuddled into Ace's arm, mind up in the stars.
