Disclaimer: Do I need to repeat this??? Just for those of you who feel like suing someone sometime in the near future. I don't own Alias! Never have, never will! *But I sure wish I did*

A/N: OK! I'm not paying attention to the history of Mexico right now just so you can have (part*) of another lovely chapter. *By 'part' I mean I'm doing part of it in Spanish class and part of this. let's see my schedule. Probably English because we're typing stuff today so I can type it up instead of typing my paper which I already pretty much finished anyway. So here you go:

A/N 2: The song I used for S/S dancing is Times Like These by Foo Fighters. I know it's not really a slow song and you probably wouldn't dance to it but the lyrics fit with the story so that works for me!!

~Chapter 7: Party~

"Sydney honey, you made it! We've missed you so much at work but I guess you're feeling better now since you're here. Great dress by the way! I love it!"

Sydney grinned. It was hard to feel terrible around Rebecca. Her happiness was infectious. And it was a great dress. Sydney was wearing a dark red halter dress that showed off her tan and fit in all the right places. After her break from work she ewanted to come bak to her co-workers looking good. And it seemed like it was working.

"Hey Rebecca. Sorry I'm late."

"Oh it's okay girl. But I think Aidan's been looking for you. Lucky girl."

Sydney laughed. "Thanks Becca, I'll find him."

Sark was out in the back where there was a dance floor set up, but no music was playing right then when Sydney came up beside him.

"Hey," she whispered.

He jumped slightly. "Hey Syd." He looked down at her and his face broke into a smile. "Well you certainly look beautiful. Not like you never do." He winked at her.

Sydney blushed. "Thanks Aidan."

"And you're lowing, too. What happened to you in those five days you took off? Something good I assume."

Sydney loved how he didn't straight out ask her why she had taken those five days off. "Well yeah. My boyfriend and I broke up."

"And this is a good thing? Most women I know would take even more time off if they just came out of a relationship."

"Yeah well it's a good thing for me. I just don't know why I didn't dump him earlier."

"Well if you're happy then that's all that matters." He put an arm around her bare shoulders hesitantly as the music started again. "Wanna dance?"

Sydney smiled. "Sure."

He led her out on the floor and put his hands around her waist, hers went around his neck. It felt just like old times.

*I am a one way motorway

I'm the one that drives away

Then follows you back home

I am a street light shining

I'm a wild light blinding bright

Burning off alone

It's times like these you learn to live again

It's times like these you give and give again

It's times like these you learn to love again

It's times like these time and time again

I am a new day rising

I'm a brand new sky

To hang the stars upon tonight

I am a little divided

Do I stay or run away

And leave it all behind?

Its times like these you learn to live again

Its times like these you give and give again

Its times like these you learn to love again

Its time like these, time and time again*

When the song was over Sark held on to her waist.

"Come on, let's go down to the water."

Sydney nodded and followed behind him into the darkness.

TBC.??

A/N: Well there you go! I'm going to try and post this now but I'm not sure if I can get to ff.net from my school. lots of firewalls. If the lyrics are wrong, it's not my fault: blame it on lyrics.astraweb.com!! I'm just kidding, don't go suing anyone!

So anyway, you know the drill. REVIEW!!

P.S. To Ori (who by the way leaves me lots of reviews for which I am very thankful!) - For the whole Sark torturing Vaughn thing. you'll have to wait and read the sequel *hint hint* if I keep the idea that I have running for it in my head. And the sequel will be coming sometime in the next month at the most cuz this story probably only has two more chapters!!
