At this moment, Adriena and Deseara were dancing with Johnny and Ozuma, even if they wanted to stop, they couldn't, the two boys had them locked in an embrace and no matter how much they liked that, they needed to get on with their plan. Miko was standing a little ways off the dance floor with Ray and Max, the threesome was looking at each other awkwardly.

'how are we supposed to make this work?' Miko asked.

'um…I really don't know.' Max answered.

'there cant be three people slow dancing each other at the same time!'

'I know that, geez, man, calm down, just…just…figure something out.' Miko rubbed her fingers against her forehead. She had to admit, the music was throwing off her concentration and ability to think right. all that was in her mind was the images of her and Max dancing. Wait a second……….she was thinking of that? she shook her head slightly to clear the thoughts, this was looking to be a long night.


Kai walked around, not caring, when he spotted Reeni sitting the bar, head in her hands. He pushed through the crowd.

'Hey, you okay?' he asked softly, sitting down beside her.

The girl lifted her head.

'…yeah.' She said quietly.

'what's wrong?' he pulled her hands away from her head. 'and don't say nothing, 'cause I know you're lying.'

'i….i….i don't know what to do anymore.' She finally said.

'what do you mean?'

'like…like…I don't…know..what to do about all this.'

'all what?' Kai was getting confused.

She looked at him and bit her lip.

'its about me isnt it?' he asked, studying her face for any kind of emotion. To his surprise, he found soft sadness and awe in her eyes, instead of the fiery anger he saw in the last week.

'okay, so it is.' He answered himself. 'then is there anything that I can do or would you prefer if I stayed away from you.'

'kai.' She spoke up. 'don't be like this….please…i….i..i need you!' she finally burst out, taking the boy by surprise again. Reeni slumped down in her seat, burying her face in her arms.

Kai sat there, still taken back. He had no idea about what she said. In the last week, he thought she hated his guts, yet, now she was telling him that she needed him.

'then I'll be there for you.' He finally said and pulled Reeni out of her moody position, wrapping his arms around her shoulders. The girl rested her head on his shoulders fought to hold back the tears.


'oh my god, wait be right back.' Miko said and pushed through the crowd, leaving Max and Ray confused.

Weaving in and out through the dancing couples, Miko spotted Deseara and Adriena a little ways off.

'guys!' she called.

Both girls turned and saw her. When they pried their boyfriends off them and came over, they both looked quizzical.

'what?' Deseara asked.

'you will not believe this!' Miko said, dragging them by the arms to the edge of the dance floor near the bar. Making sure they were out of sight, she pointed at the people sitting at the drinks. The two girls followed her finger and mouths opened in surprise.

'oh my god.' Adriena breathed. 'are you seeing what I'm seeing?'

'I think so…..'

'but…why?' Miko asked.

'I think something happened between the three of them…' Deseara answered quietly.

'….. 'the three of them'…..?' the other two turned to her.

'I mean, Tala, Miko and Kai.' The bruenette replied impatiently. 'but that's not important, whats important is that we find out what it is.'

'but how are we supposed to do that when Reeni is like that? and in Kai's arms too.' Adriena said, putting her hands on her hips.

'we'll figure something out! Geez, don't always ask the quesitons, Adriena.'

'okay okay De! Let's all just think.'


'don't cry..' Kai murmured.

'im not crying.' Reeni answered indignantly, her voice came out muffled by Kai's shirt.

'but you're going to.' The blue-haired answered.

'who says!' the girl demanded.

'um…I do? Duh.' Kai replied, rolling his eyes.

'well what you say is wrong!' she shot back.

'there you go.'

'huh?' she lifted her head and looked at him, confused.

'you're back to normal now, the bickering, demands-to-be-right, always talking back girl that I know.' He smirked.

'thanks Kai.' She said quietly and a slight smile appeared upon her face. 'feels like old times huh?' she chuckled.

His smirk faltered and she noticed.

'I'm sorry.' She said quickly, 'it didn't mean to come up, I mean, it was just a thought and uh I uh-' she tumbled on her words, barely making out what she wanted to said.

'reeni.' Kai cut her off. 'please, it's so hard without you! I…need you too.'

'but…..' she was hesitant. 'okay, tell you what, ill think about it okay?' she sighed.

'alright then…' he was disappointed but at least there was a chance.

'Reeni!' Deseara yelled as soon as they spotted the girl back on the dance floor.

'what?' she came over. 'is there changes in the plan?'

'forget about the plan already!' Miko said, shoving her playfully.

'um…are you guys okay?' Reeni asked tentatively.

'don't change the subject!' Deseara quickly argued.

'what subject?' Reeni was getting more and more confused by the second.

'like what happened between you and Kai back there?' Adriena asked.

'oh. That.'

'yeah. That.'

'well, I kinda made a mess of things with Tala when we were dancing and Kai saw me being all melancholy and shit, and so he came to comfort me, and to tell you, it worked, really well. Somehow the conversation ended up talking about the past, like when we were…we were…..together. anyways. And he told me that he wants me back, well he has been for the past week or so and I said I'll think about it.'

There was a moments silence.

'what I'm getting is that you've just admitted you liked Tala as well as Kai, still. And you want to get back with Kai, maybe, but then you can't leave Tala.' Deseara said thoughtfully.

'you got that from what I said?' Reeni asked, eyes widening.

'uh….yeah?'

'oh crap.'

'so I take it we werent supposed to know yet that you like Tala?' Adriena asked.

'well, it was like that.' the bluenette mumbled.

'oh well! Now we know, no harm done, right?' Deseara asked.

'I guess.'

'now we can help you.' Miko supplied.

'if you guys actually want to….'

'aw cheer up, nini, it'll work out.' Adriena informed her, patting her on the back.

'at least, I hope so…' she whispered
