Authoress: *staring at snake* Nice snake...good snake.

Unicron: Having fun yet?

Authoress: What do you think you sicko! I am afraid of snakes and you know that!

Unicron: So, have I broken you yet?

Authoress: Hell no!

Unicron: Oh well, I didn't want to do this... *drops something in room* *leaves room*

Authoress: What did you do Unicron? *hears more hissing* Oh. Hell. No. *screams*

Ch. 9: Love is in the Air

Three months went by and the two families had grown very close. Hindsight and Foresight had been getting very close to Melody and Clair respectfully since the day after they met. It took a month but Hindsight finally told Melody that he was crazy for her and she responded with the same. The next day, Foresight and Clair did the same and now the two sets of twins were dating. Hindsight and Foresight weren't sure of their affections at first but they soon overcame the opinions of what normal bots would think and followed their sparks.

Of course, they were not the only ones. Remcy and Flannery had hit it off pretty well. They had found out that they both liked to learn any amount of information possible. From the day they met, they would get together as often as possible and just research different bits of information. The two of them finally decided to start dating about three weeks after they met.

The final couple was Zarron and Jazmine. They realized that they had something in common when they both caught each other trying to sneak up on Pandimala and Nathan. Pandimala and Nathan had been discussing the songs that they were going to do their Labor Day concert and both Zarron and Jazmine had wanted to know what was going to be performed before the others. The two had bumped into each other and fell in front of Nathan and Pandimala. Instead of getting upset with each other, they had laughed and said that they should train together. They finally decided to date after their Labor Day concert.

Then finally, there was Balm and Matt. Balm was at a medical lecture and she was surprised when she bumped into Matt. They both stuttered for a minute before saying that they were here to learn about medical procedures. From then on, both would make sure that they attended as many conferences and lectures that they could. About a month and a half after the first concert, the two finally admitted their feelings toward each other.

But, the problem with these relationships, no one knew about them besides the couple.

Pandimala looked up and down the halls of The Estia. She needed some advice and she knew that there was only one bot that would be able to help. She knocked on one of the doors and a voice on the other side said, "Come on in."

Pandimala opened the door and walked into Balm's room. Balm looked up at her and said, "What can I do for you 'Mala?"

Pandimala sat down next to Balm and said, "I need some advice."

Balm looked at her curiously and asked, "What can I do to help?"

Pandimala fidgeted around on the berth for a bit before saying, "I think I have fallen in love."

Balm looked at her in shock and asked, "Who? Zarron, Remcy, or one of the twins?"

Pandimala gave a shy smiled before saying, "None of the above."

Balm gaped at her and said, "Nathan?"

Pandimala nodded and said, "Yeah, I have felt something for him since we first sang together but I wasn't sure what it was. Then, I slowly have built up greater feelings for him over the past few months. Am I a freak for feeling that way Balm? Is there something wrong with me?"

"No, there is nothing wrong with you for feeling that way for him! Actually," Balm started, "You aren't the only one."

Pandimala stared at Balm confused and asked, "Who else?"

"Matt and I have been dating for a month and a half." Balm admitted.

"You're dating Matt Night!"

Balm and Pandimala turned to the door and saw that the four guys and Tana were standing in the doorway.

Balm scratched the back of her helm with her right servo and muttered, "That was not how I wanted everyone to find out."

Everyone then barged in and gathered around the berth. Zarron looked at everyone and said, "That's weird, I've been dating Jazmine for about a month."

"I've been with Melody for about two months now." Hindsight admitted.

"Seriously bro? I've been with Clair for the same amount of time!" Foresight said.

"I think that Flannery and I have been together for almost two months." Remcy stated.

They all turned to Tana to see if she would say anything. Tana shook her head and said, "Nope, my interest is not here on Earth and I am not discussing him at this time." She then turned to Balm and said, "So, what started all of these confessions in the first place?"

Balm smiled at Pandimala while saying, "Pandimala has fallen for Nathan Night."

Pandimala gave a shy smile and said, "But how do I know if he feels the same for me?"

Zarron looked at her and said, "Ask him tonight after the concert."

Pandimala nodded and said, "Ok, plus tonight is going to be one of the best performances we have ever preformed.

Hindsight and Foresight nodded and said, "Happy Halloween!"

"Ladies and gentleman, we are going to have to go soon but we have just enough time for one last song from our Halloween favorites!" said a Jack Skellington dressed Nathan.

The whole band had decided to dress up like the characters from the movie Nightmare Before Christmas. Tana had decided to go with Shock, while Hindsight and Foresight were Lock and Barrel respectfully, Melody and Clair were dressed as the big witch and small witch respectfully, Flannery was the Undersea Girl, Jazmine and Zarron made up the Siamese Shadow, Balm was the Corpse Mom and Matt was the Corpse Dad, Adam was The Man Under the Stairs, Keven was The One Hiding Under The Stairs, Remcy was Doctor Finklestien, and Lizzie was Sally.

"So, we have all decided that we are going to draw a random song out of the box that you all placed your favorite Halloween songs in. Now, I will have Shock pick one of the papers out of the box. Shock?" Nathan said.

Tana walked up and placed her hand into the box. After shuffling the papers around a bit, she finally pulled out a piece. She handed it to Nathan and he read it before saying, "Wow, says here that we are going to be singing… 'The Finale/Reprise'. Hope you all enjoy!" The music then started and the group then started to sing.

All:

La, la, la, (etc.)

Jack's OK, and he's back, OK

Balm:

He's all right

Keven:

Let's shout, make a fuss

Scream it out, wheee

All:

Jack is back now, everyone sing

In our town of Halloween

Remcy:

What's this?

Adam:

What's this?

Hindsight:

I haven't got a clue

Balm:

What's this?

Foresight:

Why it's completely new

Flannery:

What's this?

Matt:

Must be a Christmas thing

Clair:

What's this?

Nathan:

It's really very strange

All:

This is Halloween

Halloween! Halloween! Halloween!

All but Pandimala and Nathan:

What's this?

What's this?
(Repeat)

Nathan:

My dearest friend, if you don't mind

I'd like to join you by your side

Where we can gaze into the stars

Nathan and Pandimala:

And sit together, now and forever

For it is plain as anyone can see

We're simply meant to be

Pandimala and Nathan ended up gazing into each other's eyes as they finished off the song. As the crowd cheered, Nathan put his mouth next to Lizzie's ear and whispered, "I love you Lizzie."

Pandimala could have fainted from happiness, he loved her. He really did! Instead of fainting though, she smiled up at him and said, "I love you too Nathan." The two then initiated in a loving kiss and the crowd went crazy. Pandimala chuckled at their reaction and said, "This is going to be amazing."

Nathan laughed at that and said, "Of course it will Lizzie."

Pandimala cringed at that. She felt terrible that she was lying to Nathan but how was she to explain that the human he fell in love with was actually a robotic being from a planet not even in his galaxy that had fallen deeply in love with him.

Remcy: Where did Authoress disappear to?

Primus: I don't know but I am very worried now.

*all bots worry in silence*

*Zarron runs in*

Zarron: I just had a thought.

Tana: What?

Zarron: Did anyone question Unicron or Contagion about Authoress' disappearance?

*all other bots faceplate palm themselves*

Balm's Note: Hello everyone. Since Authoress is still missing, I will give the final note. Both the Authoress and I hope you all enjoyed this chapter. Next one will fast forward to Christmas and we will get to see how Night's react when they find out the Val family's secret. Also, there will be a surprise that will happen. So, stay tuned for the next chapter. Until then though, please read and review. But no flames.
