Dallas was at the end of a long, long, long, line up in the canopy. YES, back at Chaiha heights.

Without Julius, he couldn't get in with no question. The entrance was far up and the bird branches were so packed he had to land Janti about a 5 yards away. (That's a long way for a small person)

Everyone was dressed nice since this was the rave club to be seen at. There were fairiettes in rabbit and fox fur, guy fairy's with smoothed out palm coverings, even small flakes of shiny minerals sprinkled in the girls' hair.

He sighed and leaned on the thick, vine rope. Thunder boomed and the nightly tropical rain started to fall.

"Excuse me, coming through," came a familiar voice. His head bobbed up and he saw Tia.

"Watch it!" one of the fairies warned as she pushed past him.

"I'm with the club," she said and flashed a pass at the arrogant one.

"Tia!" Dallas reached out for her.

She spun around and he was awed. Her ash blonde hair was waving along her face and she had a silky spider silk gown on. The thing about those kinds of dresses were that they didn't cover much up.

"Uh, hi Dennis, I'll see you later because I've got to get in," she explained, vaguely remembering the guy's face.

He grabbed her arm, "My name is Dallas."

"Dallas? Oh, right. Now if you'd excuse me..." she said trying to shake him off. She was getting wet and grumpy.

"Since you can get in easily, can you please take me in with you because, well look..." he said trying to get as close to her as he could.

She looked at the feet of line ahead.

"I don't know if I can," she said looking at his sad face.

"I gave you a ride, at least do me this favor," he argued.

Tia groaned and lifted the vine rope so he could come to her. He gladly got out of the crowd of waiting fairies and walked down the fast lane with Tia.

"Tia, good to see you," the bouncer smiled and lifted the ivy for her to get in. "Back of the line bub."

"But..." Dallas objected looking at Tia.

"He's with me," Tia explained and pulled him into the club with her.

"Thanks," he breathed when they were out of the bouncer's watchful eye.

"I did you a favor since you did me a favor now, go off and have fun," Tia said leaving him and shaking the moisture out of her hair.

"Right on," Dallas said seeing the illuminated lounge. Too bad Julius wasn't there. What was up with him anyway? He took off somewhere without even a 'good bye'. Shylie wasn't there either; her groupies were standing around bored-like with nothing to do.

Tamera was probably off with another guy, but she was acting weird around dinner.

He looked around for someone to talk to...there, sitting at the bar was Taven Argalos.

"Taven, my man. What's happening?" Dallas said slapping Taven on the back.

"Ferra, who let you in to the Heights?" Taven smiled slightly.

"I've got connections," he smiled slyly and cracked his knuckles.

"Well, I'm just hanging here tonight. I hear they got a good show," Taven explained.

"Yeah. Tia is a great performer," Dallas smiled looking at the empty, but lighted stage.

"Who's she? One of the dancers?"

"Yeah. I gave her a ride home earlier. Boy is she something else," Dallas mused.

"Are you telling me you're over Tamera?" Taven asked a bit surprised.

"Hasn't everyone been into Tamera?"

"Good point,"

"I saw you at Ashant Burrow this morning, what happened to you?" Dallas asked remembering.

Taven rolled his eyes and stretched. "This Underclass girl brought a message to the lord but I guess her wings lost their power and she fell into the honey suckle jar. Well, that tipped over and one lady started complaining and the lord got angry and banned the girl. And since her wings were oomph-less, he picked me to take her back to the agency to get her fired."

"Ouch," Dallas winced.

"Poor thing also fell off Artugo and almost was a puddle of fairy too," Taven said taking another shot of LILY.

"Was she hot?" Dallas couldn't help asking.

Taven shrugged, "She was beautiful, but aren't we all?"

"Maybe there's a reason it's illegal for a Royal and an Underclass to share," Dallas raised an eyebrow.

"Sure, I'm going to go dance," Taven said and got up.

The loud music seemed to have no end. Dallas shrugged and thought 'What the Hell?' He went into a ring of fairies dancing wildly.

Nobody was THERE, but wait, he saw Tamera and a new boyfriend. The guy looked oddly familiar.

"Hey Tamera!" Dallas shouted out of the sake of having someone to talk to.

Tamera looked at him but didn't recognize him. "Who are YOU?"

"I'm DALLAS, I was sitting across from you at dinner earlier!" he replied.

She thought about it but couldn't remember the faces.

"I don't remember you," she apologized coming up to him through the crowds of fairies.

"Am I supposed to be here?" her 'boyfriend' asked looking at the lighted branches.

"Of course you are," she sighed and tugged him nearer to her.

"Dalton, this is..."

"Dallas," he corrected.

"Dallas. This is Dieg... I mean Heath Marquee," She quickly caught her error. OH WOW! She had finally remembered a boyfriends name!

Without thinking she turned around and smacked a kiss on 'Heath's' lips. Dallas cocked his head sideways, the dude was really familiar.

"Have I seen you before?" he asked 'Heath'

Tamera glanced worriedly at 'Heath' hoping he wouldn't give himself away. There was no need to because Dallas's main distraction had just come on stage.

Tia, with her almost transparent spider silk gown stepped lightly onto stage and flipped her hair. 'Heath' stared at the performer and in a sharp breath asked, "Is that TIA?"

"Yeah, why?" Dallas asked turning to him.

"Yes, WHY?" Tamera demanded. No one had ever taken a guy's attention from her.

"I thought she was dead!" he exclaimed rubbing his chestnut colored head.

"No, she's been performing here for a couple of decades," Dallas explained.

"Why does it matter?" Tamera asked still uneasy with him paying attention to another female.

"We used to be like best- best friends but then she disappeared," he said sadly.

"And I'm here now," Tamera said trying to kiss him but he was too into watching Tia. Tamera stared at him in horror. Dallas was growing jealous.

Tia was dancing greatly. Diego under the name 'Heath' watched as his old friend swung her curvy waist and nice legs around wildly.

Dallas didn't like the look in 'Heath's' eyes. "So 'HEATH' where are you from?"

"Me...? Uh... I'm from around...Helia Hills," Diego stuttered.

"Helia Hills ey?" Dallas questioned while keeping an eye on the figure on stage. "Do you know the lord?"

"Me? Not really..." He said and looked back to Tia.

"Thank you all you studly fairies and lovely fairiettes for coming, thank you," Tia bowed and both Dallas and Diego howled and whistled.

Tamera was growing jealous. "Com'on 'Heath', let's go back to my place," Tamera cooed with venom.

"Just a second, I got to go talk to somebody," he said without looking at her and left. She huffed and sat down on an acorn stool. Maybe this guy needed to get his priorities straight.

"I'm coming with you," Dallas slapped him on his shoulder and they both went to Tia's dressing room.

"Hullo, Tia?" Dallas poked his head in.

"Just a sec." they heard her. She Stepped out from behind the rabbit fur curtain and saw Dallas. Why did he keep on following her?

"Hi, Dallas. Did you enjoy the show?" she rolled her eyes, silly obsessed Royal.

"Boy did I ever. And here is a new fan that you've accumulated," he pushed 'Heath' into the room. He was a babe.

The guy's honey hazel eyes darted around nervously, like he was scared. He was another silly Royal who had found worthy to drool over her, but a very handsome one at that. Drooling over him didn't sound like a bad idea either.

"Hullo, what is your name?" she asked politely staring at his built figure and golden tanned skin.

He looked at her stupidly. He looked at her like he was meeting an old friend, he looked...wait, he looked oddly familiar. But she didn't remember ever meeting a golden male like this.

"Do I know you?" She asked getting closer to try to see him better.

He backed away, into Dallas.

Tamera was getting fed up and marched to that performing girl's room. She was going to have Diego no matter what.

"What's your problem? She asked you a question, man!" Dallas said and shoved 'Heath' forward.

Tia stared at the bizarre, but familiar, foxy fairy.

"You've gotten so beautiful," he whispered and then Tamera's hand reached out and grabbed him around the arm.

"Wait!" Tia gasped and went for him but it was too late; that bitch had snatched the handsome one.

"Sakes, Tia what's wrong with you?" Dallas asked.

"That fairy...knows me. He looks very familiar," She said.

"Yes he does look familiar.." Dallas said but shook his thoughts away, he was with Tia now, "He's probably an obsessed stalker."

"No, he...I can't explain it. I know he can't be that," She said relaxing into Dallas's arm. The fairy was too beautiful and stalkers look at the ones they like with hunger, he looked with remembrance.

"You've had a rough week, why don't you come stay at the palace tonight?" Dallas boldly offered.

"The palace?" Tia squeaked, all her thoughts on the hot one gone.

"Yeah, I have some space in my room," he raised his eyebrows.

"No, I can't be seen at the palace," she said and left Dallas's arms.

"Why!" Dallas exclaimed.

"I just can't; there are fairies there..." she sighed and sat down at her mirror.

"PLEASE?" Dallas set his head on her shoulder and made his fawn eyes go wide.

She hesitated. The palace had servants; Undercass servants! Her cousin was one of them and some were her old friends, especially one. Her friend since they were fairylings, Diego Mantchua. He was the nicest person to her. Very sweet and loyal. When she did her upgrade to upper class, she never told him. And she had felt guilty ever since, and she missed him dreadfully. But that was the price she had to pay for her new life. He probably thought her dead.

Her eyes got teary, she really wanted to see him again.

"What's wrong?" Dallas asked, shocked by her sudden emotion change.

"I'll go. I will go to the palace with you," she said.

Even if it cost her everything.
