Fancy Party
Steven, Rain, and Mr. Stone got off the airship and onto a private
limousine. Steven had known Mr. Stone was rich, but he had to be
richer than the Empire. The limousine inlayed with leather and what
appeared to be pure gold.
They reached the hotel around six at night. The party was
scheduled to start at eight so he, Steven, needed to hurry and get ready.
Steven wore his fancy blue suit and went to pick up Rain. Although they
looked different ages, they were almost the same. Rain seventeen and
Steven eighteen. He had inherited most of his fortune and his company
from his father.
He knocked on the door and Rain opened it, dressed in the most
beautiful dress Steven had ever seen. Her blonde hair flowed from side
to side over her perfect face as she looked him over.
"Ready?" Steven asked as she took his arm.
"Yes, we had better hurry!" she said.
They walked steadily down the walkway to the ballroom door.
"No, father said to come down the Grande Staircase." Rain said.
"Why?" Steven said.
"I guess because it is my birthday."
"It is?' Steven said surprised.
"Yes, that is why we are having the party."
"I didn't get you anything." Steven said.
"You gave me your company. That is worth more than anything."
Rain said.
They reached the staircase and two men opened the doors. As they
preceded in they saw that the huge room was filled with people singing
and dancing under bright, candle-lit chandeliers. When they reached the
bottom of the staircase Mr. Stone was waiting for them.
"Rain, you and Steven are to dance together under the main
chandelier." Mr. Stone prompted smiling.
"Sure, let's go!" Rain said.
She and Steven rushed to the very middle of the dance floor. The
music slowed and the lights dimmed as Steven and Rain began to dance.
Steven looked into Rain's beautiful blue eyes as she looked into his
green ones. Steven and Rain didn't even care about the party or the
people watching them as they stared at each other. The music abruptly
slowed and then stopped.
"Steven, let's go outside." Rain said.
So Rain pulled Steven out of the ballroom and onto a candle-lit
balcony, bathed in moonlight. Steven and Rain just stood by the edge
looking up at the moon.
"The sky sure is gorgeous tonight." Rain said as Steven put his
arm around her.
"Not as gorgeous as you." Steven replied.
At this Rain looked deep into Steven's eyes again and drew up to
kiss him; but as she did a beep sounded from Steven's watch.
"I'll have to go. See you tomorrow here around noon." Steven said
handing her a piece of paper and he dashed through the hall and out of
sight.
