AN: Thanks to everyone who's been reviewing so far =D

"I don't want to go." It was the tenth time I'd said this, and they still weren't getting the message.

"Well I don't want to wear a dress but see where that got me?" Dylan snapped back, glaring at me. We had been arguing for over an hour now because I really didn't want to go to prom...to see Lash and Gwen there together...

"Come on Amelia! You'll be fine- we'll be there too!" Lara said encouragingly.

"Yeah with your boyfriends!" I said, glaring. They looked at each other and sighed.

"You are coming whether you want to or not!" Dylan said, reaching into her bag and taking out an x-men comic...damn, there were a lot of powers she could take from there...

"FINE!" I said irritably, storming out of my room to get changed.

Lara was wearing a really nice dress that was a mixture of white, black and turquoise and went to the floor. Dylan was wearing an awesome dress that had movie strips from horror movies all over it, and she was wearing a pair of converse with it. Finally I was wearing a red strapless mini dress and a pair of clunky black biker boots with chains on- If Dylan was wearing converse, I was wearing these.

I had bought the dress the day before, so it wasn't really special, but I didn't care. Not like I was trying to impress anyone anyway...

I let my hair fall in loose curls, put on some eyeliner mascara and red lip gloss and I was ready. Dylan and Lara were downstairs waiting- I saw Lara roll her eyes when she saw my boots but I ignored it.

"Ha, Lara I think you're the only one who bothered with a proper dress!" Jamie said grinning, meaning she was the only one who got a dress that was actually a prom dress.

"It looks nice Lara- electrifying!" I joked. We grinned at each other, and I felt better than I had in a long time.

"Ok...let's go!"

We got to the school by bus- Ron had to go round and collect everyone as it was being held at the school, and barely anyone had a flying car- and jet packs were expensive.

When we arrived, Lara went off with Zack and Warren and Dylan went off to go and mosh in the corner. I grinned as they started moshing to a really slow song.

I stood by Layla, who looked equally as sad as I did- Gwen had told her that Will didn't want to be her friend, and that they were officially going out. And now, Will hadn't even shown up. At least I know that Lash wasn't cheating on me with Gwen though...or maybe she just sleeps around a lot? Yeah, it was probably that. I scowled at her back as she danced with Will.

"Amelia why are you here?" I turned to see Lash there, looking at me with sadness on his face, and bags under his eyes. He looked awful.

I glared.

"If you thought I was just going to stay at home, just so that you could come to the dance and not have to avoid me then you can think again." I said stubbornly.

"No- I-"

"May I have your attention please!" Gwen called from the podium.

"This award goes to one of the greatest, most inspirational figures of our time..." A pair of arms grabbed me and pulled me back, out of the gym and into the hallway.

"Amelia, you've got to go- Gwen is Royal Pain and she's trying to turn everyone into babies!" I looked at Lash with a raised eyebrow.

"Yeah, right- you know, I'm not that much of an idiot!" I said, turning to go back into the gym just in time to see the Gwen whirl a cloak around and turn into a robot thing. I watched with my mouth hanging open slightly as I saw her turn the commander into a baby- a FRIGGIN BABY!

"Shiiiit... I always thought she was evil but come on..."

I looked back at Lash to see that he had gone. He, Penny and Speed were locking everyone into the gym. Speed then zipped in front of me and drew down bars I hadn't noticed before, closing them in.

"What the HELL are you doing?" I yelled at Lash. Penny backed away, obviously remembering that I put a cheerleader in hospital.

"I was trying to save you so you wouldn't turn into a baby!" Lash said, smiling sheepishly.

"So you sided with the friggin VILLAIN! Smooth moves elastico but now the whole school are going to turn into babies and you probably will too!" I yelled.

"Royal Pain said she wouldn't turn us into babies if we helped her." Speed said.

"You really don't listen in lessons do you? You honestly trust a villain? She's just going to use you then turn you into babies- Villains NEVER keep promises. Idiots." I muttered, rolling my eyes.

"Amelia, the only reason I did this was because Royal Pain said if I did she wouldn't turn you into a baby... I'm sorry..." I looked up at him.

"Yeah, because that's clever- the whole school turns into babies except for me? They'd NEVER suspect a thing." I said sarcastically.

"Well I know that NOW. God, I was only trying to be romantic." He said, getting irritated.

"Oh no, you are NOT getting irritated with ME! I'm the one that's mad- oh yeah and nothing says romance like making me a SUSPECT!" I yelled.

"I was TRYING to stop you from becoming a FUCKING BABY! A thank you would be a good place to start!" He yelled back.

"THANKYOU? For WHAT? Dumping me? Making me cry every night because I thought you were seeing Gwen- but really you were plotting behind my back and LYING! Is THAT what you want me to thank you for!"

"I did it all for YOU! I dumped you because I realised what I was doing- I hoped you wouldn't come to prom because I realised that Royal Pain was a back stabbing BITCH! SHE made me break up with you! SHE kept me up at night, regretting ever meeting her! You know how long I stayed up? You think I didn't know that I hurt you? It was all for YOU and you can't even be arsed to say FUCKING SORRY!"

"ummm...Lash? Stronghold and the sidekicks are here..." Lash turned to look at Speed who had spoken rather sheepishly.

Will, Layla, Magenta, Ethan, Lara, Zack, Dylan and Warren all stood there. Dylan and Lara looked like they were trying not to smile, whilst the others just looked nervous.

"Well...this is awkward..." Layla said sheepishly. Penny then decided it was time for action, and duplicated herself until the hall was crowded with cheerleaders. Me and Dylan exchanged looks. It was like a nightmare come to life.

Layla and Ethan ran away, the Penny's running after them. Warren and Dylan took on Speed, who went zipping down the hallway. I was still staring up at Lash, his words still in my head. He had done all this for me. Sure, it may have been a bit stupid, but he did it for me. A grin appeared on my face, and I suddenly pressed my lips against Lash's. He didn't respond for a moment, out of shock, then he kissed me back with a burning passion. Man, I had missed hiskisses.

"Well, that takes care of Lash then- what do we do now?" Lara asked the others, they shrugged awkwardly and stood in silence, until Layla came back, Lash and I still kissing, to tell them that Royal Pain was going to destabilise the system that kept the school afloat.

Then I broke away.

"Oh yeah...that..." Lash said slightly dazed, his eyes never leaving me.

"Oh yeah that? Seriously? We're all about to plummet to our doom and all you can say is 'oh yeah...that'?" I said rolling my eyes.

"You distracted me." He said smirking. I rolled my eyes, but grinned.

"Ok so. How do we disable it?" Layla asked Lash.

"How the fuck am I supposed to know? The Royal Pain in the arse took care of all the technical stuff." Lash replied with a shrug.

I rolled my eyes.

"Great now we're all doomed...I never even got to say goodbye..." I sighed dramatically and leaned against a locker.

Ethan came running down the hall suddenly, his sneakers squeaking loudly on the floor, holding a rolled up piece of paper. When he reached us he handed Layla the paper, too out of breath to talk.

"It's a map of the school! Look- there's where the floating device is!" Layla said grinning.

"Great idea, but who is big enough to get through THAT?" Dylan asked pointing to the small vent once she had looked at the map.

We all turned to Magenta, who looked at us and rolled her eyes.

"Fine, I'll do it...but you will all pay..." She shot each of us glares and then transformed into a guinea pig. Will and Warren had gone off somewhere to go fight the Royal Pain in the Arse.

Zack and Ethan began yelling down the vent which way Magenta should go, whilst the rest of us just leaned against the lockers and lounged around, pretending that we were not about to fall to our doom.

Suddenly, there was a jerking and we started to plummet towards the ground.

Lash grabbed onto me, and crushed me against a locker.

"GUYS? You know I can just drag us all into the shadows and we can survive right?" I yelled over their screams.

"WHAT? YOU FAILED TO MENTION THIS BEFORE!" Dylan yelled as she clung to Warren for dear life.

"I didn't think it would be needed at any time!" I yelled back.

Lara ran over to the windows and looked outside.

"OH MY GOSH I CAN SEE MY HOUSE! THAT IS NOT A GOOD THING!" She yelled panicking, running back over to us as though she were safer over here.

"We're all gonna dieeee!" I yelled, gripping onto Lash.

"Says the girl WHO CAN SAVE US ALL!" Dylan yelled, referring to the fact that I could drag us all into the shadows.

Then everything stopped and we were no longer falling...
