Dance With Me



5:30pm....................


Rei calmly brushed her hair as she heard Mina and Serena rushing at the last minnute. "LnaPen turn me into a gorgeous ballroom dream!" Serena shouted as Rei heard the LunaPen's magic. "I Need your bllush Serena!" Mina said "Well trade me your covergirl lilac eyeshadow for it!" Serena said. The girls made such a racket. The Boys sat on the couch downstaris waiting for the girls. Lita, Rei and Am walked down. Amy wearing a long straight blue dress with a bubble design on the top across the collar line, her hair had bubble barrettes and she had a blue rubbon choker on. Lita wore a green half shirt and half cut skirt with roses embedded on the bottom, that matched her rose earings, she had a pink ribbon in her hair and a pink bracelet with a green lightning bolt symbol on it. Rei was wearing a long red dress with purple trim at the bottom and on the sleeves, and at the collar, which below it almost attached was the outline of a purple flame. They looked beautiful. Then everyone heard the sounds from upstairs....Mina and Serena were comming down. They all turned to look as Mina came down first in a orangey-red dress that went to her knees and wore viewable satin lace red shoes, her hair was curled at the bottom and had her red ribbon in her hair as usual, her orangey red dress had ruffles at the bottom and the sleeves were ruffled too, and she wore a orangey yellow boa with it. Duo gazed at what looked liek the sun on legs. Serena appeared next, her dress was white collar line and strait her dress was pink with a white hseer over it and her hair was crimped in certain sections and bradied or surled in the others with pink, bllue or white ribbon attached to the sections that were crimped or braided, her hair for once was not in ponytails, and her hair was all jazzed up with glitter in it. To Heero she loked like a modern day angel. "Now everyone your partners wil be your dates tonight. That means whoever yo were paired with earlier is your date. They all looked at each other then to the clock. 6:00....time to head out.......

6:05...............

The pairs sat in the back next to each other. "Now you have to act like you are there to be there to see this treasure, and don't act fishy or supsicious. If you find something out contact each other on your communicating devices" Artemis said. "Ok" they all said as tehy got out of the car 25 minnutes later. "when the bal is over meet us outside, ok?" Luna finished. "Ok, see you then" Lita said. "Not that fast, Serena I'm tagging along with you." Luna said. "DOn't worry I won't be that vsiible, just so I can keep an eye on things, because I know you" she said. "Oh, fine" Serena said as they all piled into the room to try and find tables. Duo and Heero and their dates seemed to find a open table so the 4 of them could sit. while Amy and Quatre found a table with Rei and Trowa and Lita and Wufei.

7:00..............

The first song played for the night, signaling that in a hour the treasure would be revealed by princess Diamond herself. "Well I gues swe better start go investigating." Mina said. "But Mina, can't we dance first?" "Business before pleasure Serena" Mina reminded her as they got up. "Ok, ok" Serena said a she paired with Mina, and Heero with Duo. "Meet you back here in a half hour?" Mina and Serena suggested. "Ok" Duo agreed.They parted off. "Business before Pleasure......remember that Heero, Business before pleasure" Heero thought to himself. He looked at all the happy couples and friend dancing and atomaticaly thought of that dance he went to with Relena one time. on the other side, Serena looked at happy couples and friends a nd automaticaly thought of her and Darien and what they wouold have been in the future.She became sad, but then remembered what they had came for. They ran into a pair a little while later. "D...Darien?" Serena said. "Hi Serena he said. Rini hung on his leg. "Hi Rini. WHat are you 2 doing here?" Serena asked. "We are here to help fimd the Imperial Crystal fo ryou guys! we work behind the scenes! We wern't there to team up so we work with Trista, Amara, and Michelle!" Rini explained. "Oh" Serena said. "Well we really must be off looking for that crystal..." Mina said. Rini then came to a room witha little girl. She entered "Rini! wait a second, yo can't just go barging in someone's room liek that!" Serena said. "Hi" Rini said to the little girl. The little g irl looked up. "Hello" she said, with a few tears in her eyes. "What's your name?" Rini asked. "Heather. But Everyone calls me Princess Diamond." the girl said. "My name is Rini" Rini said. "hi Rini" Heather said. "Why are you crying?" Rini asked. "Because everyone just wants to come to see this treasure, but that's it, no one really wants to see me or my family. It's my birthday and they 're not even comming for me." Hetaher said. "Well, I'm here, and I'll be here for your birthday party, how old are you gonna be anyways?" Rini said. Heather smiled "8" she replied. "Cool" Rini said. "Darien, can I stay here and hang out with Heather for a while?" Rini asked her future father. "Sure, just meet me back at my table, when your done ok?" he said. "OK" she said. "Have fun Rini" Serena said with a smile "Stay out of trouble and behave" Serena said. "You know for a moment there I could've th ought you were actually my mother" Rini said with a smile "Just shut up and have fun" Serena said as they left Rini there to hang out with her new friend for the night.
Lita and Wufei were talking again, Lita trying not to loose her temper, while Amy and Quatre took a look around the place together, while Rei and Trowa were looking for the Imperial Crystal. It was 7:30 now, so they all returned to sit down and eat. Amy and Quatre looked at each other every now and then while eating. Trowa and Rei seemed to be talking a lot and Lita and Wufi seemed to be getting along once they started talking abotu cooking and food. Serena and the others at the other table, were eating as well, Serena and Duo the most. Mina just shook her head and smiled at her friends. Heero ate a little bit but not much.

7:45-8:00................
The dancing really started to begin. Serena and Mina got up and started dancing, leaving the boys behind. "Hey Heero, what do you say we get up there and dance with them?" Duo suggested. Heero looked at him like he was crazy. "Suit yourself" Duo said as he got up and walked up to Mina and Serena and started to dance with them. Heero saw Serena come up to him. "Get up here good look'n and dance!" She said trtying to pull him up on the dance floor. "I'll be fine sitting her by myself." he said. Then all of a sudden he felt himself getting drug to the dance floor. The Next thing he knew, he heard an announcement. "Now, the moment you have all been waiting for.....the revealing of The Imperial Treasure!" A man said. Heather then came out to the stage with a box covered with a sheet of fabric. The man took the fabric off and Heather opened the box. It was a crystal ballerina ornament-figure trimmed with sterling silver. Camera flashes went off everywhere. Serena saw Darien and Rini looking at it and smiling. She then slipped away from everyone and walked up the stairs out to a balcony. Heero noticed her leave. "Where'd Serena go?" Mina asked. "Dunno" Duo replied. "I saw here go that way" Heero said as he pointed in the direction of where she took off to. "You wanna go get her for us Heero, I mean you obviously knew where she headed off too." Mina said. "Sure, why not." Heero said as he walked off in the direction she went. the Music started up again. Heero looked in the different rooms to see if he could find her. he came across her, who was laying her arms on a blacony and looking up at the moon. "Serena?" he asked. She turned around. "What?" she said. "Mina and Duo wanted me to come get you, they did not know where you went off too." he said walking closer to her. "Well I'm here, obviously." she said. The music went on. "Hey, you uh, wanna dance?" She asked. "i don't dance much" he answered. "I noticed" she replied. "Well?" she said again. Heero said nothing. The Next thing he knew, her arms were around his neck and unconsciously his hands were on her hips, and for some odd reason they felt right there. There they moved, to the beat of the slow, sweet melodic music. She looked into his eyes and he looked into hers. Their faces inched closer to one anothers. "Business Before Pleasure Heero,Business before Pleasure" he though to himself as their faces were only an inch away from each other's.
