A/N- You guys are so nice to me. I love it. I know you can't see it but I smile every time I read a review.

Me: I do not.
Ella: Okay, maybe the Riddler.
Me: That's closer. Anyway, Enjoy the chapter.
Dancing in the Dark Chapter 7
Ella POV
I never thought I would be shopping for prom dresses with Max, but here I am. She has been acting a little uncomfortable though. She walked out of the dressing room wearing a black spaghetti strap dress that came down right above her knees.
"Do you think Fang will like it?" she asked.
"Well, let's see, it's black and you're wearing it, so I would say definitely."
"I guess."
"I thought Fang was the one who wore black and had short answers."
"It's nothing, I just have a feeling he's hiding something from me."
"Maybe it's supposed to be a surprise for you."
"Yeah, maybe it is. I'm definitely getting this dress. Now it's your turn."
"Well I've seen some that I like, but that's the problem. Iggy can't see them."
"But, what you seem to be forgetting is that he can feel colors. You need to find a dress that's one of his favorite colors."
"That's not a half bad idea, now what color?"
"Might I suggest you get this one?" Max said picking a dress from one of the racks. And let me tell you, it looked perfect. It was fire red with the skirt stopping above my knees since it was kinda small. Well, it's not like Iggy is going to see or feel that part. I went into the dressing room and came out to show it to Max.
"Okay, I'm officially jealous. You look better in your dress than I do in mine."
"Really, you think so?"
"Yep, but let me warn you, a lot of guys are probably going to try to hit on you now."
"That won't be a problem, I have a good comeback, "My date's blind, he likes me for who I am, not how I look.'"
"Good one."
"I know right?"
Iggy POV
Shopping for our tuxedoes was easy. I'm 100% sure that Fang got a black one and I didn't even feel it. I personally went with a light blue one with ruffled shirt because I'm sure no one else will be wearing one and it fit my personality of being different. I was just about to turn toward the exit of the mall but Fang pulled me in the other direction.
"We need to go somewhere else before we meet the girls for dinner."
"And where would that be? I don't think the mall sells emotion anywhere."
"Very funny, Ig. But seriously we need to go to the jewelry store." I stopped dead in my tracks.
"Come on. Why are you just standing there?"
"Fang," I started slowly, "why do we need to go to the jewelry store?"
Fang sighed. "I guess I was going to have to tell you sooner or later."
"Tell me what?"
"I'm going to ask Max to marry me." He said so only I could hear.
"Well, it's about darn time." I said patting him on the back.
"Really?"
"Heck, I thought you were going to do it after Total's wedding instead of leaving, but that was just me."
"Okay, you do know we were fifteen right?"
"Yes, but don't tell me you weren't temped."
"Maybe a little. It doesn't matter, the point is I'm doing it now and I need you to keep watch."
"Sure."
Ella POV
I had left Max so I could go to the bathroom while she looked at some regular clothes. When I was walking back I saw Iggy standing in front of the jewelry store. I walked up to him.
"Why are you standing in front of the jewelry store Ig?" I asked.
"I'm keeping watch."
"From what?"
"Fan girls that want to kill Max and jump all over Fang and rip his clothes off." We almost died laughing. When we stopped I asked, "No really, what's going on?"
"Can you keep a secret?"
"Can I keep a secret? I knew about you guys for years before everyone else, so I would say yes."
"Good point. Well, Fang's in there buying a ring for Max."
"Like the other one he gave her?"
"No, I would say this one is going to be a lot more special than that."
"Oh, OH! He's in there buying an engagement ring?"
"Oh, yeah. Now I'm pretty sure he doesn't want Max to know about it yet, so you need to take our clothes and make an excuse to Max about why we're going to be late to the restaurant."
"Okay, I think I can do that. Well, I guess I'll hear you later."
"It's better than smelling me later." I swear he's the funniest guy I know.
Anyway I ran into Max on the way back to where she was.
"Why do you have the guy's tuxes?" She asked getting straight to the point. What should I say? Got it.
"Well there kinda of pinned down in the food court."
"What! Are there robots? Erasers? Dylan?"
"Worse. Fan girls."
"Yeah, I would say that's worse."
"They told me to take their clothes so they wouldn't get ripped and said we should just wait for them at the restaurant."
"Okay, that'll work. Hopefully they won't be too late."
I'm so glad she is not Angel. We walked out to the car and put all the clothes in the trunk. Man, a lot of good things are happening lately. Iggy asked me to prom, sort of, Fang is going to propose to Max, and before you know it Iggy and I might be together. Yeah, I wish.
A/N- And so the chance slips away for the fan girls who have fallen for Fang. Well, at least in my story. And don't worry, I'm going to show him pop the question to Max. 165 days until Nevermore. Fly on, prosper, and may the odds be ever in your favor.
