Chapter Nine – Dance of Darkness

Soon Friday came around the corner and it was time for the dance. "Ready to go Aelita?" Yumi asked, "You bet! The boys are supposed to be here to pick us up any minute." Yumi and Aelita walked downstairs to wait for the boys. Five minutes later they arrived, "Sorry we're a bit late. Odd was hungry so we stopped by the fish n' chips for him to grab a bite." "It's okay, just typical Odd." Yumi laughed.

Jeremie walked out from behind Odd and offered her his arm, "You ready princess?" He grinned, "Yeah, let's roll." She said shortly before taking his arm and being led out of Yumi's house. "I hope you enjoy this evening Aelita, I thought we could go to the park afterwards." "That'd be great." She said shyly.

The gang stepped inside the school. "WOW THE MUSIC'S LOUD!" Aelita held her head; it was a bit loud for her taste. A bit was underexaggerating. It was so loud you could hear the base beat from Yumi's house. Jeremie put a finger in his ear, "You said it or rather, SHOUTED IT!" "WHAT?" "NOTHING." "COME ON!" She pulled Jeremie outside.

"What were you trying to say?" "Nothing important." "Jeremie?" "Yes?" "You mind if we skip the dance? It hurts my head real bad." "It's called a headache Aelita. Come on, lets go to the park."

Jeremie and Aelita walked into the park, "Hey Jeremie, we don't have to miss the dance." "Huh?" Aelita held him close and they started dancing in the park, "But what if someone see's us?" Jeremie said worriedly, "What if someone sees us?" Aelita laughed, "Wouldn't you be embarrassed?" "There's nothing embarrassing about dancing with the man I love." Jeremie blushed, "Man? Aw shucks!" They both began to laugh...

They danced ballroom-style long into the night. Aelita and Jeremie eventually got tired and sat down by the lake. Jeremie looked at Aelita, her eyes gazed into the moon. I wonder what she's thinking about right now... Her emerald eyes flickered in the moonlight.

"Aelita?" "Yes Jeremie?" "Do you think It'll always be like this, being friends?" "I thought we were much more than friends Jeremie." "We are Aelita."

Jeremie stroked her hair gently and she put her arms around his neck, their lips pressed together firmly. Aelita twirled his blonde hair inbetween her fingers as he ran his fingers through her pink hair, the kiss lasted for twenty seconds before they had to break away for air. "That was amazing..." "Yeah."

Then they sat smiling at each other until dawn began to break...

It's weird I'm not really a romantic person. Oh well! Please R&R!
