A few weeks later, after making no progress whatsoever with the stubborn
princess, he set his and the singer's plan in gear at that night's ball.
Elios tapped Selenity on the shoulder and received an icy glare. "What do
you want?"
"I want you to give me a chance." He said honestly, and she turned away. A microphone was slid into his hand, and he winked at the singer.
"If you change you mind
I'm the first in line
Honey I'm still free
Take a chance on me!"
Selenity rolled her eyes and turned away. Throughout the whole thing, almost everyone thought that it was choreographed.
"If you need me
Let me know
Gonna be around
If you've got no place to go
When you're feeling down."
Elios caught her chin, and everyone looked on in speechlessness. In the corner, the queen smiled at his attempt.
"If you're all alone
When the pretty birds have flown
Honey I'm still free
Take a chance on me."
Again, she pulled away, and he went around her, and tilted her chin upward.
"Gonna do my very best
And it ain't not lie
If you put me to the test
If you let me try."
She looked to be yielding a bit, but Elios couldn't tell. He was only sure that this had never happened to her before.
"We can go dancing
We can go walking
As long as we're together
Listen to some music
Maybe just talking
You'd get to know me better."
Selenity knew that she was showing her emotions too much, and held them back. She wanted to get to know him, and she was even.
"'Cause you know I got
So much that I want to do
When I dream
I'm in love with you
It's magic
You want me to leave it there."
Was that true! Selenity was becoming embarrassed, and all of her friends were giggling and nodding at her.
"Afraid of a love affair
But I think you know
That I want you so."
That part had been blatant the moment he started to court her.
"If you change your mind
I'm the first in line
Honey I'm still free
Take a chance on me!"
For the first time, Elios knew that he was getting through to her, and that he had formed a good plan.
"If you need me
Let me know
Gonna be around
If you've got no place to go
When you're feeling down."
She, being a teenager would need someone to lean on, and Elios was ready to help her in that way.
"If you're all alone
When the pretty birds have flown
Honey I'm still free
Take a chance on me!"
Selenity realized that she really did want to fall in love now, so she decided that she just might give in.
"Gonna do my very best
And it ain't not lie
If you put me to the test
If you let me try."
Take a chance on me!"
Yes, she would let him try, and hope that he would win her heart at the
same time. Now wasn't the right time to give in however. "Oh come on,
give me a break!" She muttered loud enough for everyone in the room to
hear.
"Take a chance on me."
Elios saw behind the façade, and knew that it was all an act now, ad that he should wrap it up relatively quickly.
"Oh you can take your time baby
I'm in no hurry
I know I'm gonna get you."
So it was part of the song, but it made him look a bit cocky. "You'd just hurt me." This time, she sort of meant it.
"Baby don't worry."
He took her chin and shook his head. "I'm not gonna let you." Selenity said firmly, and he was a bit taken aback.
"Let me tell you now
Our love could be strong enough
To last when things get rough
That's magic."
All of the walls were falling, and that made her feel vulnerable.
"You say that I waste my time
But I can't get you off my mind
And I think you know
That I love you so."
Selenity thought she might love him too.
"If you change your mind
I'm the first in line
Honey I'm still free
Take a chance on me!"
Everyone felt that the song was going to go out with a bang, as it was common knowledge that Selenity had brushed Elios off without a second thought for the last few weeks.
"Gonna do my very best
And it ain't no lie
If you put me to the test
If you let me try."

"I'll have to think." Elios cut her off and kissed her and her eyes went wide, then settled as they closed. The people clapped, and she felt her cheeks go warm since her first kiss was in front of so many people. "Why me?" She whispered against his lips, and felt him smile a bit. "Honestly, I have no idea." Then, he pulled back, but he did not let go of her.
