Tia Larque was thee fairiette of Chaiha Heights. Her body was still burning with bright light and she'd done the best show that week. Her boss would probably pay her double because some of the Royals of the Dynasty were there to watch.

She hoped that the night show surpassed even this one. At night EVERYONE who mattered would be in Chaiha Heights.

She slipped into her dressing room and untied the string of her ivy top.

"Hullo?" she heard a male voice.

Tia quickly pulled up the top with one hand a pushed the rabbit fur curtain away to see who was calling.

Two Royals were in the room looking around. One was very tall; the other was the prince!

"What can I help you gentlemen with?" she asked. They turned toward her voice and saw her.

The tall fairy stared at her with some sort of passion. The fawn brown in his eyes was whirling around in such a manner a girl had to wonder...

"We just wanted to say you were great out there, didn't we DALLAS?" The prince nudged his friend.

Dallas nodded his head dumbly. He was at a loss of words. The prince sighed and smiled at her. She'd never met the prince before; he looked like a troubled spirit, even when smiling.

"Well, thank you your mightiness," she smiled back and Dallas was sill a frozen marble statue.

The prince smiled awkwardly and pushed Dallas out of the room with himself following.

Tia shook her head. Silly Royals. All those guys drooling over her for no reason, they were wasting their time. Why? Tia Larque was not a Royal and no one knew about it except a few fairies that were good at keeping secrets.

She was a very determined Underclass. One day she decided she didn't want to be treated like crap so she made clothes that a Royal would wear and fluttered around acting high and mighty. Royals don't question unless they suspect and she was so sly that they didn't and now she was in Chaiha Heights.

And getting home was easy, all she would have to do was ask a willing 'drooly Royal' and he'd give her a ride on his bird to where she wanted to be dropped.

Now she needed to get home and rest for the night show. She finished dressing and put herself back out into the club.

There were many Royals, she spotted the princess in a group of wannabes, the Lord of the Heights drinking from a LILY. LILY was the most wanted alcohol in the fairy world but Chaiha Heights was the only rave that carried it, among other drugs.

"Good afternoon Lord Chaiha," She smoothly said walking by.

"Tia, my little flower how are you? Ready for tonight?" he asked looking up.

"I just need to get home and sleep," she laughed and sighed at the same time.

"You do that okay?" he said and patted her on the arm. She smiled and looked around for someone she could mooch a ride from.

Dallas and Julius were in the vicinity, avoiding Shylie and her groupies.

"What's wrong with you? She was right there man," Julius complained still stunned Dallas had frozen like that.

"I don't know but I just couldn't talk. Her hotness blinded me!" Dallas said taking a swig of LILY, something he couldn't do often.

"Are you saying she's hotter than Tamera?" Julius asked in shock.

Tamera Almengod was the most beautiful fairiette in their kingdom. Tamera lived at the palace and had about 300 flings a day.

"Tamera is gorgeous but Tia is a different beautiful. I mean, you don't see Tamera doing splits or cartwheels do you?" Dallas explained.

Julius laughed and saw Tia walking through the crowd towards them.

"Hey Dally, here comes 'Miss Cartwheels' now," he nudged him.

Dallas snapped up to attention and indeed Tia was looking and walking straight to them.

"Hey," she breathed.

"Hi," Julius said.

"Uhhh..." Dallas drooled.

Tia giggled, she had just scored another follower.

"What brings you to us?" Julius asked the same question buzzing in Dallas's mind.

"I was wondering if one of you guys could give me a ride home," Tia asked innocently.

Julius smiled big, "Sure, DALLAS could give you a ride home." He pushed his friend towards her. Dallas nodded and thanked Julius silently.

"Thanks," Tia smiled and took his hand, making him jump.

They pushed their way our of the club and back to the bird branch.

"So which one is yours?" Tia asked looking around.

"The red hawk," Dallas managed to say, but knew it belonged to Julius.

"He's handsome," she commented and petted Serus.

"Serus," Dallas mumbled. Julius was going to be irritated when he found out Dallas had taken his bird. But hey, Serus was a babe magnet.

"Excuse me?" she turned to look at him.

"His name is Serus," he said louder and climbed onto him. Tia followed.

Dallas clicked his tongue to the back of his mouth a few times to let Serus know he wanted for him to take off.

Tia gripped her arms around his waist for balance and tingles went up his spine.

"Your tattoo is very interesting," Tia commented studying his back up and down as Serus flapped his gigantic wings.

"Yeah," Dallas said gripping the reins.

"You don't talk much," Tia added.

"Yes, I do," Dallas argued.

"You've hardly said anything,"

"I just don't talk in front of fairiettes, I tend to get...shy,"

Tia looked at him. This guy was really not kidding, the tattoo explained everything.

"You can drop me off near Mushroom Forest," she said.

Dallas nodded. He couldn't believe he was acting so stupid around a female. He had liked Tamera for the longest time but he could never talk to her either. Not because he froze up, just because she had so many boyfriends and they'd gladly beat him up if he went near her. He swore under his breath.

Tia was feeling loss of energy from performing, trying to impersonate a Royal, and getting this Dallas to talk to her. Her eyes felt heavy and she set her head on Dallas's back.

He straightened up with surprise. A hottie was laying on him! He felt suddenly anew with himself and smiled into the wind. Soon it would be over because he wouldn't be back to Chaiha Heights until Julius agreed to go again.

"We're almost there," he said and shrugged his shoulder blades to wake her.

Tia's eyes opened lazily and mumbled "Okay," but she fell back asleep. Dallas laughed and made Serus land on a log by the Mushroom Forrest.

"You can go now," Dallas said helping her down from the bird.

She yawned tremendously and said sleepily, "So you wanna get rid of me that fast?"

"No, NO, just you are supposed to sleep for tonight's show," he explained.

Tia turned to say goodbye but tripped on a small twig and fell into his arms. Dallas watched her swear about twigs but was surprised when she looked up at him, making her every-colored-eyes lock with his.

She noticed he had light, barely visible freckles on his face.

"Thank you Dallas, I hope to see you again later," she said quietly, but never sincerely and staggered into the Shroom forest.
