Elsbridge, Billinton Residence, 3:00. PM.

Thomas tightened his red tie as he then looked at himself in the mirror, trying to look very presentable for the love of his life. His heart stirred as the thoughts of seeing Lady's beautiful smile filled his mind. He loved her, and loved her very much, which is why he intended to ensure that HE gets the last laugh against Frankie. Digging into more info, he concluded that Frankie's true identity was that of a wanted criminal of the people who was known for being a high school dropout who usually seduced her targets before killing them.

"The more reason that HE would hire her to kill Lady and me." Thomas thought as he combed his hair. "That said, I'm going to have to put my plan into action so I'll trip her up into a confession."

As Thomas then placed his comb down, he smiled as he found his hair even more neat than usual.

"This should be good enough, won't it, Lady?" He said to himself as Lady was still in his thoughts. "Good thing I told my girlfriend about my plan. No doubt she'll ensure that it goes well."

As Thomas then slid on his frock coat, he quickly headed out of his room and down the stairs.

...

At the Stone Residence, Lady too had been doing final checks, as her dark pink dress with golden shined within the light. He had a choker necklace that had pink jewels and was made of gold, as matching earrings were hung from her ears. As she then finished applying the final touches, Thomas was within her thoughts.

"I'm thankful that my lover told me his plan before we left, otherwise I would think that his words were all for naught. He's the one I love, and Frankie is just the one who he's trying to slip up. If he pulls this off, then we can have a night without being interrupted."

As Lady then looked at the clock she let out a sigh, before grabbing her phone and heading out the door.

...

At Sodor high, the dance was in full swing as the students were doing as they planned. James spending time with Emily; Percy dancing about with Rosie; Gordon chowing down at the food; and Henry looking about ensuring that no-one was getting drunk. As the gang were all busy doing what they did, their attention was changed, as Thomas and Lady entered. As Thomas quickly spoke with his group, Lady spoke with hers.

"Okay, so, I'm planning on dancing with Lady, but as a heads-up, I got a covert operation to finish, so that has to be done first."

The other guys raised an eyebrow as they took this in.

"What do you mean by covert operation?" Percy quizzed.

"You know that new girl Frankie?"

"Yes." They all replied in their huddle.

"Well, it turns out that she's actually an invader on the campus, possibly being a criminal."

"Whoa." Gordon remarked. "T-that's unsettling."

"That it is." Thomas replied. "So, listen. I need you guys to secretly record her conversation with me as I dance with her. Lady knows about this plan too, and so she's not one bit mad with me dancing with Frankie. She actually agrees that making Frankie slip up through conversation is the best route to go."

"Good to know that Lady's your one and only girl." James commented.

"I wouldn't have it any other way." Thomas replied, as then a certain someone entered into the massive gym.

"Okay guys. Time to break away now."

The others nodded as Thomas then turned heel, readying for his act.

"Ah, Thomas!" Frankie exclaimed. "My goodness, you're wearing a frock?!"

"Yes." Thomas replied. "Now then I hear a slow song is coming up."

"Then let's get on with it!" Frankie exclaimed, as she then grabbed Thomas's hand and darted up onto the floor.

As the two then danced, Rosie looked on, worried as she glanced over at Lady.

"Are you going to be okay?" She asked. "That new girl is dancing with your crush."

Lady just smirked smugly as she looked at her friend.

"Wait for it, Rosie." She replied. "Then you'll see what Thomas's intent REALLY is."

As Rosie did, she listened very carefully, as Thomas chatted with Frankie, who was very much unaware of the next question.

"So... Ever worked for someone? As like, a demanding someone?"

"Yeah." Frankie replied. "I have."

"What job exactly?" Thomas asked, smirking with mischief, seeing that his plan was working.

"Well... He hired me to kill two students." Frankie replied, as she then realized IT and immediately stepped back.

"Ha! Got ya!" Thomas cried.

The students around them all gasped, as Frankie took a step back, scowling as she took this in.

"Y-you tricked me!" The woman in blue stammered.

"Not like I had much choice. Frankie Hudslet, IF that's even your name."

Frankie's scowl suddenly turned into an evil sneer, as she began to reach towards her back.

"You're more clever than I gave you credit for you little boy, and indeed you're right. I did in fact partially lie about my name. My name isn't Frankie Hudslet, but rather, Frankie Clarke!"

The students all gasped again. Frankie Clarke was a notorious wanted criminal for hire, who had a long record of successfully seducing and killing targets. As Frankie then pulled out a knife, she pointed it at Thomas.

"I was going to do this out of public eye, but with how YOU made me slip up, you leave me now choice, but to kill you NOW, Thomas Billinton."

As Frankie then charged at Thomas with the knife, Lady quickly reacted and used her magic to defend him. Frankie was knocked down onto the floor as the blade of her weapon clashed with Lady's shield. As the woman looked on, she gasped in shock.

"Magic?!" She exclaimed. "Look at this everyone! There's a witch in the room!"

Everyone murmured as they looked at Lady, however, before anyone could say anything, Thomas gave a massive scowl, as he wrapped his arms around his girlfriend in a protective manner.

"She's not a witch!" Thomas cried out. "Lady is a magicborn! A Person who had the power since birth! If any of you decide to harm her, I WILL stop you! Got that?!"

The students began to murmur again, this time stepping back a bit in shock and slight fright for Thomas's anger was something to be reckoned with. Then as the mummering stopped, two security guards came and immediately grabbed Frankie.

"Curse you Thomas! Curse you Lady! I'll get you both!"

"Not while we have something to say about it!" Lady cried back in reply. "And the same goes for your boss, Diesel 10!"

Lady then stuck out her tongue at Frankie, who was now just infuriated even more. As the yelling woman was then brought out of sight, Lady turned heel, as Thomas looked at her with loving eyes.

"Well, looks like SHE won't be ruining this night anymore for us." He then said as he held out his hand. "Care to dance, milady?"

"With you? Always." Lady replied, as she then took the hand of her lover.

...

"And that's when the night became perfect for us." Lady remarked as she and Thomas were showing a photo album to three kids who had some resemblance to them.

"Did that mean Frankie ever tried to get back at you, and daddy?" Asked the eight year old girl with golden hair.

"She did." Thomas replied. "But she was immediately stopped."

"If mommy was such a major target, for her magic, does that mean we are as well?" Asked a boy who looked a bit like Thomas, as he sat next to his identical twin.

"You might." Lady replied. "But that is not to say that you're forever doomed to be one."

Lady smiled as she then embraced her and Thomas's children.

"Don't you dare worry, Cathy, Linus, and Luis. Even with you being targets, you can still live a life as great as anyone will have. Find people who you can count on, as well as practice your magic, so you can watch each other's backs. Your father and I will protect you three as well, and that is a fact."

"Yes it is." Thomas replied as he then joined in on the family hug. "We will protect you as long as we can, no matter what. Don't worry about your life one bit you three. Just live it, and create bonds with those you trust."

As the three children then nodded, Thomas and Lady smiled at one another. It had been a long tricky road for them, but it was very much worth it.

THE END.
