"At the pier tonight at nine."
"But that's in thirty minutes." Icefire yelled.
"I know. Good luck we'll see you there."
"Great. Let's go girls. We've got to get to the closet and change." Icefire went out the door and we all followed her into the closet. I helped Shay with a black strapless dress that reached the floor and a pair of black high heels.
"There you look perfect." I smile as I give her a silver bracelet. I found a white dress. It reached the floor and had two straps, one on each side. It was perfect. I put on a pair of silver high heels and red lip-gloss. I looked different, but then again I didn't make a habit out of wearing fancy dresses either.
"You look great." Icefire smiled. She wore a light blue dress that was the same length as her uniform. She wore her boots as well. It matched her eyes. Bee had chosen a purple dress. It reached the floor as well. It was strapless also.
"Let's go, girls." Icefire sighed as we went out to Bee's mustang. We avoided the guys because if they saw us, then they wouldn't let us leave the tower, let alone go out with the nerds. Bee pulled up to the pier. We got out, and many people started to stare at us. My heel got stuck on a hole. My foot slipped out of it. Crap.
"Need a hand?" I turn around to see Midnight wearing a black tux with a purple flower. He held out my shoe.
"Midnight! You're supposed to be at the tower." I hiss at him as I take the shoe and put it on.
"You look beautiful." He flashes a smile that made me nearly melt into the floor.
"Thanks. You look nice" I blush.
"Really? Thanks, I've got to go, If Icefire sees me here. She'll tear me apart. And your date is already here." Midnight points behind me. I turn around to see limo pull up. Out came a nerd with big glasses and black hair. He went up to Bee and purred.
"Whoa. I think that I just barfed in my mouth." Bee grabs her mouth. I walk over to the group. Another nerd with brown hair and big glasses came out and went up to Icefire.
"Hello princess."
"Hi Grant." Icefire rolls her eyes.
Another boy comes out, and he was better looking than the others, he was more gothic too. He had pale skin and glasses with one eye covered by his black hair.
"Don't talk to me." Shay puts her hand up and stops him when he reaches her. I look over at the door.
"Where's Dark Charm's date?"
"He's in there, get out." Grant yells at the open door. Out came Xavier Redd wearing a tux. He came over to me and flashes a smile.
"Hello cutie."
"Please, tell me that you are not my date."
"Glad to disappoint, you." He smiles.
"Great." I sigh as we walk up to the boat.
Shay?
Yeah?
I need you to tell Midnight that he can go ahead and kill this guy apart.
You owe me
I know, but please, this guy is a creep.
Okay.
"So cutie, which do you want to do first? Dance, then have the best make-out of your life? Or do you just want to skip to that part first?" He leans close to my face.
"Oh god. You know what, I want to know how the hell you're here."
"I'm smarter than they are. But Grant's in charge, they kept wanting me to join, but I said only if they could get me a date with the newest titan. And they kept their word. Figures that they would."
"So we're both stuck here." I smirk.
"Yep, that's it, so what's your decision then?"
"How about a no?"
"How about a dance first?" He pulls me to the dance floor where an old song was playing. It was So What. He spins me around.
"Give me one good reason why I shouldn't hurt you." I glare.
"Because you think that I'm hot or it's because you know that you need the ship fixed." He pulled me in closer.
"how did you know?"
"I kinda figured that the second one was the reason." He kisses me on the cheek. I spin outwards, but he pulls me into a lock.
"I thought that you were doing the first option." I hiss as he kisses a way from my shoulder to my neck.
"There's no reason that I can't do both." He whispers in my ear. I stamp on his foot, hard.
"Ow!" He jumps and loosens his grip on me. I spin outwards again.
Midnight says that he kinda cant because of the fact that Icefire will see him.
Well here's what the problem that I'm in. Xavier—I show her the memory of everything up to the point that I stamped his foot.
Wow, I'll get on it. Midnight is going to start a fight.
I don't really care at this point.
Xavier pulled me in again.
"Why did you do that for?"
"Lots of reasons, mainly because you're a creep" I glare.
"That's okay, cuz I like them feisty." He pulls me into a lip lock, I try to fight it, but then he starts to deepen it with his tongue. I pull away. Then as he starts to come towards me again, a green bolt pushes him into the railing.
"Then you're going to love me." Midnight glares at the fallen creep. I pant as try to regain my breath, from his kiss.
"Dark Charm, are you okay?"
"Fine, except that I want to kill Xavier." I tell him as I wipe my mouth.
"So you changed your name. That's great, Dark Charm." The creep stood up.
"You don't even get the right to even say her name, creep." Midnight's eyes start to glow as he threw himself at him. Midnight was really mad. He punching, hitting, and kicking as hard he could, and I could tell because with every hit, Xavier was sent twenty feet away from Midnight. Just as Midnight was about to hit Xavier again, for the 3rd time, a blue bolt stopped him.
"Midnight stop." Icefire asks as her eyes stop glowing.
"Oh yeah? You know what he did to her?" Midnight and I walk up to her. Her eyes weren't the same as before, they had a faint ring of gray around her irises.
"Oh my god. Midnight, she's not the same." I walk backwards.
"If she's like this, that means that—Midnight was cut off.
"That the others are being controlled also." Xavier finished as he got up.
"How are you doing this?" Midnight asks with his eyes glowing.
"Simple, you trick the city's most powerful women into coming here. You give them a little discomfort, and then you just breathe a little of this controlling elixir into their mouths, and they'll follow you anywhere."
"Which would explain why you wanted to kiss me."
"Exactly, and because now you know, we're going have to destroy you now, right girls?"Grant smiles as the other titans come towards us.
"Oh no." I breathe.
"Okay, defend, and then if they try to kill you, then hurt them but don't kill them, okay?" Midnight whispers.
"Okay." I nod as they started to come towards us.
"I'll take Icefire, you think that you can handle the others?"
"I think so." I tell him.
"Good, now go." We separate and I hex Bee away from me. Shay started to throw tables at me. I dodge them and hex her. She trips and falls into the punch bowl.
"Where am I?" She asks.
"Are you kidding? You just tried to kill me!" I yell as I dodge Bee's hits. I hit her in the jaw, then Shay grabbed her as I reach for someone's glass.
"Can I borrow this?" I ask a very sacred boy who nods.
"Thanks." I tell him. I fly up to Bee who was trying to get out of the grip.
"Here it goes." I say as I pour the drink on her head.
"Huh? Where Am I? What happened?" Bee shakes her head as Shay lets her down.
"We were being controlled by a group of nerds and trying to kill Dark Charm." Shay tells her. I smile, then look at Midnight who was being held up to a wall by Icefire. I fly over.
"Hey! I don't care who you are. Nobody does that Midnight without getting damaged." I shout as I hex her into the water.
"Nice." Midnight flies up to me.
"Thanks" I smile as we go over to the nerds who were trying to run.
"Going somewhere?" We stand in front of them.
"When will you learn?" Shay glares as she and Bee stop them from going the other way. They turn to see Icefire who was mad.
"Give me one good reason why we shouldn't hurt you." Her eyes start to glow ice blue and all of the nerds except for Xavier faint. I hex him and he falls to the ground.
"What happened?" Kid Flash asks.
"And why are you guys dressed like that?" Speedy asks as they come forward with the police.
"It's a long story." Icefire sighs.
"I'm sure that we have time" he smiles.
"I'll tell you it later." Icefire looks over at the nerds being pulled away.
"And this year's homecoming king and queen are…Midnight and Dark Charm." Midnight and I freeze.
"Oh would someone please tell me how that happened?" My brother shouts.
"The students nominated them, so could you please just dance?"
"Well, I guess that one more dance wouldn't hurt." I smile.
"Sure." Midnight leads me to the floor. I put my hands on his shoulders as he places his on my waist. Everything felt even more perfect.
"This is nice." I smile.
"It is, you even look more beautiful now." He smiles. His eyes looked so perfect, so majestic as they sparkled in the light.
"You do look even nicer." I could feel myself blush.
"Thanks." The song was one of my favorites. It was What About Now. The lights were on me and Midnight.
"Dark Charm."
"What is it?"
"I missed this, I missed you." Midnight smiles.
"I'm here now" I tell him as I lay my head on his chest.
"I know, and that's why I want to give you this." He looks down at me and leans towards me. I was leaning towards him, as well. I knew what was going to happen, I was ready. Our lips met, and it was soft and gentle like he cared about me. Like I was a rose that he never wanted to let go. And I cared about him too. It felt like we were the only ones there. I fell into his arms, not caring if people saw. He releases and turns away.
"No, stopping. I like this."I whisper.
"We're stopping just until we get a little privacy, I promise, we'll hang out later tonight." He points to the cameras shooting and people cheering.
"Great." I mutter.
"I know, my dad's going to kill both of us."
"Well, I guess that we're going to get going, if we want to let Icefire yell at us." I say noticing that the rest of the titans were gone.
"What me to fly? Or do you want to take my motorcycle?"
"Your what?" I ask as we run down the stairs and towards a black motorcycle.
"Let's go." I agree as he pulls his helmet on and hands me mine. I put it on and grab onto him as he drives off. We turn right on a street corner and he goes down a tunnel. He presses a button and the tunnel's entrance closes and then lights up.
"Wow? And when were you planning on telling me about this?" I ask.
"Just now."
"You're a real help." I laugh as we pull into a garage where a pissed off Icefire was waiting.
"Care to tell me what happened?" She asks as she shows us a picture off the internet of us kissing.
"Oh Darn, your eyes are closed. Ah well, next time remember that." Midnight and I laugh together.
"This isn't a joke. This has been on the internet for a total of five minutes, and its already got almost a million hits" Icefire points to the picture.
"Wow." I smile.
"I can't believe you guys would do something like this in public. I think that it's nice that you guys finally got together. But will happen when Dad sees this? He's going to blow up."
"Icefire, it just hit the news and is increasing in numbers." Bee shouts.
"Great. We're dead. I'm never going to be able to—Icefire was interrupted by the sound communicators beeping. Midnight picks up his and answers it.
"ARE YOU INSANE?!? HAVE YOU LOST YOUR MIND? I CANT BELIEVE THAT YOU WOULD DO SOMETHING SO STUPID!" Nightwing shouts. I answer mine to reveal a frustrated mom and dad.
"Lex? How did this happen? I think that I'm going to go insane by all of the press here." My mom shouts.
"Well, Midnight and I kissed, in front of the press." I wince.
"Well I can't believe that you would do something so stupid!" She has a similar reaction like Nightwing's. Icefire opens her communicator to hear Nightwing's voice.
"Now's not a good time." I sigh.
"Nightwing wants us to meet him there, to yell at you. But Flash wants to say something to Midnight, give it to him." I grab Midnight who was done talking to his dad who was on his way here to yell at us and give him the communicator.
"Hi, Flash." Midnight winces. But then I put my hand on his shoulder and smile. It gives him courage.
"I hear that you kissed my daughter, and I want you to know, if you hurt her, or do anything…to her like that then I'll hurt you. And I know that if you try…that your father will do the same to you as well."
"Dad! He's my best friend." I yell.
"Is that right?"
"Yep."
"Then Drake, I suggest that you treat her nice. I'll talk to you more as soon as we get there."My dad ends the conversation.
"Great, this is bad." He sighs.
"Wanta ditch and avoid the whole thing until morning by going out as our normal selves."
"Sure, but…" Midnight points to Icefire who was sad.
"Who cares, and you promised." I give him a sad look.
"Fine, Well, I guess that we've got to." We hop on his motorcycle and race out the garage and tunnel.
"We've got to go faster, it we want to avoid anyone that's a titans, our parents, or the press.
"Where do you want to go?"
"How about, there?" I point to the park. I figured that the press were too busy trying to get onto the island to get a picture. Midnight parks in a parking lot and then we get off.
"Remember when we were little kids? How we would come to the lake and roll down the hills and swim in the lake?" I say as I start walking.
"Yeah, and you would always fall into the water?" Midnight laughs along with me.
"Hey, you should talk, you freaked the first time and dived in after me, thinking that I had drowned and you fell on top of me." I laugh softly.
"And then my mom jumped in with my dad."
"And they fell in the deep part." We laugh at the memory.
"I can't believe that it's been so long." I smile as I lean towards him.
"Everything seemed so much more easier then."
"I know, everything seemed to slow down then." I smile.
"Yeah."
"Do you want to go down to the lake?" I point to the lake down the hill.
"Sure, just don't fall." He laughs, I hit him playfully, then I trip on a rock and start to roll down the hill. I pull Midnight down with me.
"Whoa!" I yell as I hit a rock before stopping. I get up and feel the familiar feeling of a head rush and my hand being scraped.
"Look out!" I hear Midnight as he hits me and we both fall into the water. The thing is that the water was freezing because it was night and not the same summer day as before.
"Midnight." I say as I stand on the rock. It was too rough. Meaning that I lost my shoes. Midnight came up and stood up.
"What?"
"I lost my shoes."
"I thought that something had hit me." He smiles. I laugh as I splash water in his face.
"Hey!" He splashes me back. We get into a fight.
"Mid—night, let's…stop." I get out of the water. The air freezes my body.
"Sure." He follows me.
"Aren't you cold?" I point to his jacket.
"No, must be my genes. Here" He places his jacket on me and pull it in closer to my body.
"It's too cold." I say as I sit down on the edge of the dock.
"Well that's what you get for swimming in the middle of the night." He sighs as he sits with me.
"You made me fall genius."
"Only after you pulled me down the hill." He sighs. I stare at the moon, then realized that I was wearing a white dress, and I was wet.
"Oh god!" I shout.
"What is it?"
"I'm wearing a white dress." I tell him.
"So?"
"White dress? Wet? Doesn't your teenage hormones trigger the connection or do we need to find a wet t-shirt contest?" I say as I pull my knees to my chest.
"I get it, I get it. Do you want to stay here until your dress dries?"
"Fine, just look at my face." I sigh.
"Your face is always beautiful, I could spend forever looking at it." He stares into my eyes.
"Thanks, your face is so perfect, so amazing, I could spend forever looking at it." I say as we start to lean in again. This time, when our lips met, it was more passionate. He deepened it, then I deepened. I found my fingers going through his hair. Everything seemed to disappear with each kiss that we made, and with kiss, the only thing that I could see was Midnight and the area around us. We separate to take in deep breaths. It was amazing. It just felt weird to kiss your best friend like that, not that I didn't like it.
"Wow."
"Yeah."
"That was …" I was speechless.
"Amazing?"
"I was going for a point to say amazingly weird, but yeah."
"That too."
"I know. Maybe we're going a little too fast."
"What do you mean? I think that it's clear that we both loved it." Midnight sighs.
"I know, I don't know…I'm just confused about having my first make out session with my best friend."
"Your first?"
"Yes, well you know after you broke my heart, I didn't actually go back to dating until we first dated a few days ago."
"Wow, you were really that hurt when I left."
"Yeah you hurt me, Midnight, you were my best friend."
"I still am."
"I'm not so sure, I think that Bee and Shay will fight you for that title now."
"Oh really? Then what am I? Your boyfriend?" He laughs.
Boyfriend. It fit him so well, he wasn't my best friend. I could never get used to dating my best friend.
"Actually I can't think of anything but that to call you." I whisper.
"Me either."And with those words, I started to see that Midnight was in fact my boyfriend.
What do you think? It's longer. But I just finished it.
I don't own Teen titans, or the songs included in the chapter.
