Chapter 2

Allison is still standing there shocked at what she had heard. "I can't believe it! My mom is making me marry someone I don't even know! But on the second thought I can't think of anybody else I'd preferred than either Oliver or Johnny. They are the two dreamiest guys I've ever met. But still, it would seem better if I actually had the choice."

"I can't believe Allison is going to marry me or Oliver! I don't want to be married to somebody I don't even know, not to mention I have nothing in common with her. But I don't want her to be married to Oliver either. Call me selfish, but I don't want her and I don't want anybody else to have her either. Or maybe I do want her? My head is messed up! I can't like a girl I don't even know!" thought Johnny.

Suddenly the song Dilemma by Nelly and Kelly Rowland started playing and broke their thoughts.

"I love this song!" said Allison

"I love this song!" said Johnny at the exact same time

They stared at each other.

"Um, wanna dance?" Johnny asked

"Yeah, sure."

So they went on to the dance floor. Oliver is on the other side of the ballroom talking to Enrique.

"So between me and Johnny which one do you think her mom's going to pick?"

"I'm not sure? But I think the one who have the most in common with her."

Robert: That's going to be hard. Oliver is like her artistic side, but Johnny is like her stubborn side.

"I think she likes you both. So it's going to be a tough decision weather its Allison or her mom's decision."

Robert: She's lucky to have either one of you, but I really have to find a girl I like or I'll be stuck with someone I hate for the rest of my life.

Enrique: At least you get to choose, for all I know I could be stuck with a rich spoiled brat.

"Sure. when's the last time you've seen a mirror?" mumbled Tyson

Soon the tune of Dilemma is replaced by the melody of a slow song. Allison is still dancing with Johnny. Now she is resting her head on his shoulder.

Allison is thinking, "This is nice, I actually feel peaceful. That's nice for a change. For once I actually feel safe. I feel protected from the dangers that are coming my way.

Flash back-2 weeks ago

The Magical Bladers had Allison surrounded.

"What do you want with me!" she demanded

"I think you know perfectly well!"

"Let me go! I'm not giving you my Drangle bit!"

"Too bad, it's not your choice!" said the leader

"Let me go!!!" Allison screamed as a guy twice her size grabbed her.

Allison bit the arm holding her.

"AHHH!" the guy screamed, "YOU ARE GOING TO PAY FOR THAT YOU BRAT!"

"You can run but you can't hide. Where ever you go, we'll be there, to take your bit beast!" said a different guy.

"All we wanted was your bit beast, but now I want you to suffer!" said the 1st guy.

Now back at present time.

Allison remembered the fear that she carried with her for the last few days. She wanted to tell her brother about what happened, but she didn't want him to get hurt. If he knows, he would do everything he can to protect her, but she really didn't want him get involved. The Magical Bladers are the most powerful bladers she had ever met. She knew the Majestics wouldn't stand a chance against them.

"I still don't get why I feel safe. Johnny is not going to be able to do anything about it, but I suppose it feels good to know that you aren't alone. Anyways, what girl can be worried when she is in the arms of a cute knight." Thought Allison as she laughed inside her head.

Johnny looked down at the girl in his arms, "she looks so peaceful, like she's protected from the rest of the world." His expression softened, "she's beautiful," he thought to him self, "OK! So I do like her, how messed up can I get, to have a crush on Robert's sister. But I'm still glad I made that clear to my self. So should I go and tell that to her? Nah, it wouldn't make a difference, but what if it will? I can't risk loosing her!

"Allison? Can I tell you something?" whispered Johnny, didn't want to disturb her peace.

"Yeah, what is it," she held her head up, looking him in the eyes

"Ok Johnny, you can do this!" he thought to him self. Then he said out loud, "I like you Alli, and I want to marry you!"

Allison looked at him strangely.

Johnny thought, "That came out wrong! Oh, great I just made a fool out of my self!"

Allison's frown slowly turned in to a smile, "I like you too! And I wouldn't mind marrying you either!"

"OH! REALLY!"

"You sound surprised?" Allison asked

"Well, the look on your face before scared me!"

Allison blushed, "Sorry about that, I just thought you hated me before. What you said surprised me, that's all."

"What made you think I hate you?"

"You never even seemed to want to talk to me, or look at me as a matter of fact."

"Sorry, maybe Robert haven't told you before, but that's just who I am. You shouldn't take it personally!"

"I know better know," said Allison with a smirk on her face

"ALLISON!" yelled a girl from behind her

"Terra? What you doing here? I thought you said you wouldn't be able to make it?" asked Allison to the girl

"What? You didn't think, I'd let you come here all by your self did you?" said the girl smiling.

"No, of course not," said Allison sarcastically

"Do you mind introducing us," said Terra as she looked at Johnny strangely

Just then Allison realized that she is still in Johnny's arms.

"Oops!" she managed say before her whole face turned red. "Um, this is Johnny. Johnny this is Terra." She said as she let go of his neck.

"Nice to meet you," said Terra

"Yeah, same here," said Johnny grumpily, mad at Terra for interrupting their moment.

Terra got the hint, so she took off to find Robert.

"So, is she your friend?" asked Johnny

"Yeah, my best friend. We've known each other since forever!"

"That's nice."

"You don't seem to like her much."

"Just a bad first impression."

"Okay." said Allison

They decided to go across the room to where the rest were standing.

"So Terra, what happened?" asked Allison

"What made you think something happened?" said Terra innocently

"People don't just fly half way across Europe for no reason, not to mention at the middle of the night."

"Fine, I was going to tell you later, but Oh well, here goes." Said Terra, "I'm swearing off guys!"

"What?" said Allison trying not to laugh. "You? Swearing? Off? Guys? I'd never thought I'd hear those words in the same sentence!"

"I'm serious!"

"What happened between you and Mark?"

"He is such a jerk! So I broke up with him."

"So that's why! Still, I don't think you'd last a week."

"I can!"

"When's the last time you've not had a boyfriend for that long?"

"Let me think."

"You don't have to, since I already know the answer. NEVER!"

"Fine so you are right. So what?"

Allison shook her head. "I made my point, that's what!"

Oliver said, " Terra, you remind me of Enrique."

"What! I've been away from girls for that long!" said Enrique innocently

"No you haven't!" said Robert

"You know what? You'd be perfect for each other!" said Johnny

"If you say so!" said Enrique and Terra at the same time.

They stared at each other for a long time. Enrique decided to break the silence. "So babe, want something to drink?"

"Yeah, sure." Terra answered

"Told you, she won't last a week, or even a hour as a matter of fact." Said Allison to the rest.

"Their personality matches perfectly." Said Johnny

"I should've known that when I first met Enrique. But I wonder why that never crossed my mind?"

"I have no idea. Its your head, not mine, if you don't know then how should we?" said the very annoyed Johnny.

"Calm down. You don't have to get mad. I was only saying it, for fun."

"Whatever"

Oliver and Robert decided to leave those two alone; they walked to where the chairs were.

"I wonder what's up with him?" he said quietly to Robert

"I have no idea."

"I think they are perfect for each other. So I'm stepping aside." Said Oliver

"Are you sure?"

"Yeah, I saw them dancing. They both looking very happy, the happiest I've ever seen them."

"I know what you mean. You are a good friend Oliver!" Said Robert

"Yeah I suppose I am, Johnny better make her happy. If not I'd be doing this for no reason at all."

Johnny is still really mad at Terra for intruding, so he decided to go on to the balcony to calm down. And Allison followed him.

"Johnny what's bothering you?"

"Nothing."

"I'd chose you, if I can."

"What you talking about?"

"You know."

Johnny turned around and looked in her eyes.

"You mean it?" he asked

"Yeah, I like you a lot! But if my mom chooses Oliver. What would I do? I like him, but he's just not you," said Allison with tears in her eyes.

Johnny sighed, "Then we'd just have to make our peace with just being friends no matter how hard it's going to be. I just want to let you know that I think you are the best girl I ever met." He lift his right arm and wrapped it around Allison.

" Thanks." She said as she lift up her head and their eyes met. They slowly leaned toward each other and their lips touched.

Just then Allison's mom came out on to the balcony. She said, "I suppose that decides it."

They backed away from each other immediately, surprised by the presence of the third person and the voice from her mother.

"MOM!"

"Don't bother, I'm going to call Johnny's parents later, then the engagement will be official!"

"You mean it!" asked Johnny

"Yeah, you didn't leave me much of a choice. Since you liked each other so much, I'd be breaking your hearts if I split you up. Plus I trust you with my daughter since I've known you for so long. Not to mention you are a close friend of Robert's. I think I'll leave you two alone now, but I suggest you come inside. Your friends would want to hear the announcement."

"Well! I suppose that ends our worries." Said Johnny as he putted his arm around Allison once again.

"Definitely! We are probably stuck together for the rest of our lives. Don't come complaining if you find something you don't like." Said Allison with a smirk

"I don't think that's going to happen. I'd love everything about you," he said as he bent down to kiss her forehead. "We better go in now, I think the rest would want to hear the news."

"Yeah, sure. I wish Robert would have the luck we've had."

"Yeah, me too."
