Hello! This is a chapter that I know you have all been waiting for! Now the action begins, and all of the characters become introduced! Have fun! I still need 100 reviews, please. Ps. Arcane, Krystal's not with Brad, and I would love it if in your story you would have them both hook up! Thank you, that is all.

Chapter 8

It was two weeks after the sleep over and the fight. Krystal had taken them all shopping, and a new member had joined the team. His name was Arcane Tripidicus. He was a nice guy, pretty cute, really sweet. The themes of all the characters floors are as follows:

Cyrus- her floor is really happy-go-lucky type. Bright colors, a four post bed, real cutsie. Irvine- his is more mysterious. Dark colors, rough look to it all. Alex- his just looks like a normal guys room. Lava lamps, roll out cot, and a major entertainment center. Krystal- totally medieval times. A massive armory with swords, armor, the whole bit. Arcane- another normal guys room.

Krystal, since not many people knew of the team being created, decided on having a dance.

"Where are you going to get a dance floor that big?" Arcane asked curiosly.

"The second floor transforms into one. No big deal. Everybody's going to be there, and you guys need a date!" Krystal pointed at her team sitting before her.

"What?! Your making us get dates? Is this a joke?" Irvine asked stupidly.

"Ya, and I'm the King of France." Alex replied flatly.

"Are you for reals?" Irvine's eyes got really big.

"No stupid! Shut up!" Cyrus yelled.

"All right, enough! You are all excused to use the phones, seeing as the invitations have already been sent out." The team filed out of the room, and rushed to go to their own floors.

Irvine was the slowest. He was the last one to leave the room. Krystal walked with him to his room.

"So, Irvine. You do understand that you don't have much time to get a date, right?"

"Ya, sure, whatever."

"Just making sure!"

***3 Days Later***

Krystal had done everything. She had the best DJs around, the food would be excellently catered, and there were so many prizes that you could win, there was no way anybody would leave empty handed! Krystal was wearing an elegant light blue dress that went down to about her ankles. Her hair down around her shoulders, and she was wearing make-up! She looked absolutely radiant.

It was a few hours before the dance, and Krystal still didn't have a date! What was she going to do? Krystal was sitting on her bed, thinking about the past few days. Krystal had asked Irvine to the dance, but got rejected, saying "I'm sorry Krystal. There's somebody else. It's just something about her, her hair, her eyes, she... I... just love her!"

Krystal had sworn to herself that she wouldn't cry, no matter what. She had spent quite a few hours in her video game, trying to get out her sadness and her grief.

Arcane had been watching Krystal. From the shadows, in the bushes of the video game, he had been waiting. He just couldn't find the guts to ask. Now he was standing right outside her door, and he was about to knock.

Knock knock.

"Who's there?"

"It's me, Arcane?"

"All right, come on in."

Arcane entered and when he saw how beautiful Krystal was, it took his breath away. "Um, er, Krystal?"

"What is it Arcane? Are you ok?" She said with such deep concern that it just melted his heart.

"I'm ok, but... about the dance, I don't really have a date, and erm... was wondering if you would go with me." He pulled out the single red rose from behind his back and handed it to her.

"Thank you Arcane. I didn't have a date either until now. I'm glad I'm going with you Arcane. Thanks again. Come on, in a couple of minutes the guests should be arriving, and I need you to help me greet them. Go get your tux on, 'cause were going to a dance!"

Sorry short again, but before the dance begins, I have a few questions that I need answered.

Who should be Irvine's mystery date? I was thinking maybe Ruby per chance? Of course with the permission of her creator.

Arcane, I was wondering if I could change Arcane's age a bit for relationship purposes. Is that all right?

When they pull me off the net for the message board interactive crap, I want to republish this just without the interactive part. Can I still keep the same characters?

That's all folks! Please review, I look forward to them majorly! Later!
