At the dance, Jena and Jenny wore really weird white dresses with metal lace masks. They stood by a refreshment table as they where trying to find Darien.
Jena:"Isn't that him? No, that's not him. Oh, that's him. No, it's not."
Jenny grabbed some punch before she looked at her sister.
Jenny:"Darien can dance. When we see a guy who can move, we'll have our man."
Jena gave a nod before Brook walked up to them wearing a black dress and a simple black mask.
Jena:"Let me know when you find him."
The twins turned to her and smiled at her.
Jenny:"Hey, we were just looking for you."
Brooke:"Yeah, I'm sure you were."
She said looking at Jena. Both looked away before they smiled at her again.
Jena:"Nice mask."
Jenny:"Nice dress."
Brooke looked at her and smirked.
Brooke:"Nice face."
Andrew, Chad, Greg and Ken where on the dance floor trying to catch girl's attentions as they all wore suits but in silver, dark green, midnight blue and a deep red that almost looked black.
Chad:"Hey, ladies, hey."
He said as three girls walked passed them but they got ignored.
Chad:"Boo, where you going? All the fun you need is right here."
Andrew, Greg and Ken chuckled as Andrew padded Chad's back before they walked over to Darien who wore a black tux with a black and red cape, white gloves and a top hat.
Chad:"Man. Hey, man."
Andrew placed his hand on Darien's shoulder and he turned away from the girl he was talking to. Darien smiled at his friends before taking a sip of his punch.
Greg:"Why did you tell us this was a costume party?"
Ken:"It is a Black and White Ball."
Darien chuckled as he touched Chad's shoulder.
Darien:"You guys look good. Very is sharp."
Andrew chuckled as Darien placed his hands down.
Andrew:"We do clean up good, huh?"
He said as they all looked down at the outfits. Darien shook his head and held his cape up as he said:
"Besides I was told me the same thing."
The guys all chuckled before Andrew looked up and stared surprised as he pointed to a flight of stairs a few feet away.
Andrew:"I guess we're not the only ones who didn't get the memo."
They all turned to the stairs as Serena and her friends all walked down. They stopped in their tracks when everyone in the room stopped and stared at them. Serena looked around as she tried to hide behind her friends.
Mina wore a long orange strapless dress with faux diamonds around the top. She also wore an orange mask with gold around it and matching simple orange strappy heels. Her hair was left down with and slightly curled at the tips that had orange wash-out dye. She had on light orange eye shadow, deep orange eyeliner and light light stick.

Chad:"Who is that?"
Darien stared at Serena as he smiled to himself.
Darien:"No idea. But I'm gonna find out."
Serena looked around feeling shy as she turned to her friends and whispered.
Serena:"Everyone's looking at us."
Brooke and the twins were also staring but Brooke was glaring right at Serena.
Jenny:"Who are the Lohans who decided to make their own rules?"
Raye"You need a drink."
Mina:"Punch bowl, straight ahead."
She said as they all walked down the stairs and walked up to the punch bowl that Darien and his friends stood in front of. Jena smiled as she stared at the five friends.
Jena:"I don't know, but they look good."
She said smiling as she turned to Brooke and Jenny who glared at her before her smile faded as she turned away.
Jena:"I-I mean, not good like us. Good like bad."
Brooke looked away and looked back at Serena and her friends.
Andrew smiled as he motioned Darien and the others to turn their back to Serena and her friends as they approuched the punch bowl.
Andrew:"Here they come."
Chad:"All right, be cool. Be cool."
Lita, Mina, Amy and Raye each quickly grabbed a glass of punch as Serena poured herself some. Darien took in a deep breath and turned to her.
Darien:"Uh... Hi."
Serena turned to him as her friends all turned to her to find Darien talking to her.
Darien:"You really know how to make an entrance."
He said pointing to the stairs before he looked down at her dress.
"Those, uh, dresses are amazing."
Serena smiled shyly and said:
"Thank you. T-That's a nice robe."
Darien blinked confused before he looked down at his outfit and Serena blushed as she stuttered.
"I-I mean, cape. It's a nice cape..."
Serena turned to her friends and whispered to them for advice.
Serena:"What should I do?"
Lita whispered to her friend as she smiled.
Lita:"Say something."
Mina whispered after.
Mina:"Anything. He's cute."
Serena turned back to Darien and said:
"U-Um... Hey, do you want some punch?"
Darien blinked again as he holds his glass of punch up. Serena blushed, feeling she she was making a fool of herself.
Serena:"Or you have some... Cool, okay."
She turned away and looked at the floor as Raye, Mina, Lita and Amy walked up to Chad, Greg, Ken and Andrew. They eyed them before Raye broke the silence.
Raye:"Weird."
Lita:"Are you all suppose to be princes?"
Chad:"Yeah. Smart girls. Dope, right? With love in the air, somebody gonna fall hard tonight."
Mina:"Is that so?"
Ken:"Yeah."
Chad:"Usually, We're a lot cooler than this. We're actually, like, Darien Shield's best friends, see?"
Amy:"Is that supposed to impress us?"
Andrew rubbed the back of his head and chuckled.
Andrew:"Yeah, a little."
As they talked, Serena and Darien began to have a normal conversation but the music was too loud that they had to yell to talk.
Darien:"What was that?"
Serena:"I don't usually come to these things."
Darien:"Yeah, me too."
Serena:"What? Wait. Do you, um, wanna...?"
Darien:"Wait. You don't like to dance?"
Serena:"Sorry, what?"
Darien:"Do you wanna...? Hey. Can I ask you to dance?"
Serena blinked before she smiled and said:
"Yes, I'd love to."
She and Darien walked away from the resfreshemnt table as Darien's friends began to dance and show their different style moves for Mina, Lita, Amy and Raye. The four girls giggled as they watched.
Mina:"Now, don't take this the wrong way... but we have never seen anything like you guys in our lives."
She smiled after Andrew and his friends stopped who all looked at each other before looking back at girls.
Andrew:"That's a good thing, right?"
Raye:"Yes. Dance with us, Princes."
She grabbed Chad's arm as Lita did the same with Ken. Amy grabbed Greg's hand while Mina did the same for Andrew and they all ran to the dance floor. Serena walked up to the DJ and handed him her Ipod.
Serena:"Do me a favor. Can you play this for me. Track five."
As she walked back, Darien handed his cap to Andrew.
Darien:"Here, hold this for me."
Andrew gave a nod as Serena walked up to Darien and they walked to the center of the dance floor hand in hand, which caused the girls to smile.
Lita:"Hey."
Mina:"Shake it, baby!"
Darien smiled as he turned to face Serena as the DJ began to play tango music. Some people began to move to the side to watch the dancing.
Darien:"Nice."
He held Serena's hand as she did the same. He placed his hand on her hip as she placed her own on his shoulder. They began to dance simple movements before the music picked up a little and Serena slided her shoe in a circular motion across the dance floor. Darien noticed and chuckled before he looked at Serena.
Darien:"What was that?"
Serena smiled as they both stared into each other's eyes as she said:
"I guess the music just speaks to me."
Darien chuckled before he added his own move into the dance and held Serena close.
Darien:"Well, I guess we don't have a language barrier."
Serena smiled as both began to dance the tango with more professional moves. Neither noticed that they were the only ones left dancing as everyone stopped to watch them dance. Brooke watched before she realized that Darien was dancing. She glared at Serena before she marched over to Jenny and Jena who where talking to a guy, not paying attention at all.
Jena:"Isn't that funny? I just love monkeys too. Anyway, she'd..."
Brooke shoved the guy away who walked away as she turned to the twins
Brooke:"Look at him move."
She moved to the side and allowed them to see Darien and Serena dancing.
Brooke:"That has to be Darien. But who's the tramp?"
Jena and Jenny looked at each other before they continued to watch Serena and Darien dance. Everyone started to clap as Serena wrapped her left leg around Darien's waist and lift her right leg up straight before Darien twirled her around. Both kept dancing, not noticing Jenny and Jena making their way to a refreshment table. Everyone watched as Serena removed Darien's hat from his head and placed it on her own as she was twirled around before Darien took his own hat back. Both circled each other as Darien removed his hat and bowed to Serena who did a spin.
Mina, Lita, Amy and Raye giggled as they, Andrew, Greg, Chad, and Ken smiled and watched their friends. Darien held Serena close before he spun her around as Brooke glared at Jenny and Jena who grabbed two large bowls filled with small round candies. Serena began to spin away from Darien as both twins spilled the candies on to the ground. Serena didn't notice the candie until she slipped and fell to the ground causing everyone in the room to laugh aside from her friends and Darien's friends.
Darien:"Oh, hey, are you okay?"
He said worried as he helped her up. Darien looked around as everyone laughed turned to Serena.
Darien:"You were amazing."
Serena looked down as she adjusted her mask.
Serena:"No, I wasn't. I fell."
She looked up at him as he remove his mask, revealing his face. Serena's eyes widen as she stared at him
Serena:"Darien?"
Darien smiled at her before a loud bell chimb sounded. Serena turned to a clock that was behind the DJ and saw it was almost midnight.
Serena:"I have to go."
She said as she ran from Darien up to the DJ as her friends did the same.
Serena:"I have to go. Can I have it back?"
The DJ was having a hard time hurrying as she said:
"Today?"
Serena grabbed her Ipod back and ran passed her friends who ran after her. Darien ran up to Serena and gently grabbed her arm.
Darien:"Wait, wait..."
Serena:"I'm late."
She said pulling her arm away hard which caused her to accidently yank the chain of her necklace on her neck, causing it to break and fall to the ground.
Darien:"Where are you...?"
He said confused as Serena and her friends ran away from him as his friends all ran to his side. Darien looked down and noticed her necklace left abandon on the floor. He reached down and picked it up before he looked and watched Serena and her friends run.
