Chapter 21: We're Starships

That night every one was dressed in there prettiest dress or outfit to match the theme, 'Green and Nature'.

Carley posed in the mirror as she glanced down at the tight green gown that was clutched around her body, on the side it also had a green rose sticking out.

"Why do you always choose tight dresses?" Beth's voice spoke from behind her, Carley spun around on her heels to look at the younger teen.

The teen was wearing a long dress which seemed to be shaped like a tonned down wedding dress, "I'd rather not look like wedding wannabe" Carley laughed.

"Very funny whore" Beth flipped Carley off and exited the room, "Bitch" Carley muttered under her breath. The blonde then took one last look at herself in the mirror and smiled at her appearance and then glanced at the price tag and gasped.

"Is there a problem miss?" A young worker emerged, she had her short blonde hair in a bun and her naive and shining brown eyes glaring at Carley.

"Yeah! This costs too much!" Carley stomped.

"Have you looked at the offer price?" The woman stepped back.

"Offer price?" Carley stepped closer.

"Yes" The woman grabbed the price tag and pointed to the price under what Carley thought the price was.

The blonde smiled, "That's not that bad"

Alice then entered wearing almost the same dress as Carley minus the flower, and Rochelle followed.

The four woman left the store and headed towards the ball, each with Handgun's stuffed into there purses but hidden quite well away from sight.

Meanwhile Axel was entering the party with all of the men and Steven.

They all had handgun's hidden in there inside pocket of there jackets, this time the party was being held in the grand yard around the bandstand.

Porter leaned against a tree as the men stood in one group all in matching green tuxedos. "Hey look it's the girls" Brad smiled and pointed to the group of familiar females making there way over.

"Wow you all look so pretty" Ellis smiled which caused Nick to nudge him rather roughly.

Steven walked up to Beth with a blush on his face; "You look nice in a tux Steven" Beth smiled.

"You look pretty too" Steven nervously smiled.

"Dance with me?" Beth giggled and held out her hand, Steven smirked and took it in his own and the two headed off to the bandstand where everyone was dancing.

"That's cute" Carley laughed.

"Yes it is" Brad agreed. Carley glanced at Brad and before the blonde knew it the firemen had her held in his arms and they were dancing towards the bandstand.

Were starships were meant to fly! Hand's up and touch the sky!

Porter, Axel, Corin, Ellis, Nick, Alice and Rochelle all stood in an awkward silence just stealing glances at each other.

"Come on Axel" Corin grinned and grabs Axel's hands leaning over him slightly.

The two lovers also made there way to the bandstand, "Were just good friends" Rochelle jumped onto Alice's back and those two joined Axel and Corin.

"I'm heading to the bar" Nick sighed and dragged Ellis off to the outdoor mini bar sitting against a hedge.

Porter groaned and remained leaning against the tree which seemed to blow silently in the dark skies, Porter's gaze quickly drifted from face to face through the crowd.

Then the man's eye locked on someone very familiar, a brown leather jacket, torn jeans and brown hair that flicked from below the man's ears. Porter stepped forward.

The man turned to his side, Porter's eyes shot open and he began running towards the man, "Clay!" Porter cried with happiness as he jumped onto the man knocking him to the ground.

"Clay!" Porter cried once again with tears rolling down his cheeks.

The man quickly flipped himself around and faced Porter, a giant smile suddenly growing across his face, "Porter!"

The two men leapt into each other's arms into a deep kiss.

Starships were meant to fly! Can't stop us cause we fly to high! Let's do this one more time!

Porter jumped and wrapped himself around Clay's waste staring into his sparkling loving brown eyes finding himself lost in them easily.

"Ive missed you Clay" Porter smiled.

"It's been too long" Clay smiled back in return.

"Oh god you two get a room" A female voice spoke from behind Clay.

"Wait… Ella!" Porter jumped off Clay's waist and stared at the woman standing behind the man.

She was tall and held long straight black hair. She wore a half cut white t-shirt and a pair of denim shorts with black leather knee high boots and a gold belly button piercing.

"Don't I get a hug?" Ella frowned and held out her arms; Porter ran over and hugged her tightly.

"We thought we were never going to see you again!" Clay spoke with the large smile still spread across his face.

"I thought I would never see you two again, what are you doing in Florida anyway?" Porter questioned.

"We heard of the CEDA guy coming in so we were going to question him" Ella answered.

"Yeah, we've been traveling state to state finding answers of your location" Clay added.

"Thanks, I was rescued by a group of other survivors just two days ago, the facility I was in got infected and they came and rescued me" Porter quickly glanced through the crowd at his fellow friends.

"It's been a tough ride Porter, but we never stopped searching for answers" Ella smiled and placed her hand on the teen's shoulder.

"Thanks, so you two got any jobs here?" Porter questioned.

"Nope, we've only came here tonight but Ella is an amazing singer" Clay glanced at Ella.

The woman smiled and ran towards the bandstand and clutched the microphone, "Hello there everyone, my names Ella and this song I would like to give you this song tonight and is dedicated to my friend Porter Ezra Alexander and Clay McKenna"

"Porter?" Familiar voices echoed through the crowd.

That night I laid my eyes on you, I felt everything around me move, got nervous when you looked my way, but you knew all the words to say…

Clay stepped forward and took Porter's hands and pulled him close so there faces were almost touching.

Me, I'm lonely don't you know, my love I want you so, sugar you make my soul complete your rapture tastes so sweet…

Clay stepped forward as the two men began ball room dancing and all eyes were on them, Clay led Porter into a twirl and landed in the man's arms.

Spark this fire even more, surrender to you're rapture or else.

With more twirls and various moves Porter was being led by what seemed to be a professional who was stealing his heart all over again but it felt like the first time they had met…

When the song faded out they two met face to face and once again entered a deep kiss, they hadn't realized the hundreds of eyes watching over there every move. Once they had finished the garden was filled with cheer's, laughter and clapping, at the front of the crowd was Porter's various friends and Ella stood on the bandstand cheering and clapping.
