WARNING: ROMANCE AHEAD!
(A/N: woohoo! here is the next chapter! i hope u enjoy, and R+R!)
After my odd encounter with Nur, I decided to check what actually happened on my "first" date when Kryz went. I expected her to be in my room, but since she now had artificial intelligence, you never know what she could be doing.
I went to my room and enterered my password on the keypad next to the door. It slid open and I walked inside. I was very shocked at what I saw.
"Dib? Fiz? What are you doing?" I asked.
In a panic, they pulled themselves apart and tried to look innocent. I had just walked in on them kissing!
"Well, you see, we were just . . ." Fiz started, then she said, "umm, bye!"
She grabbed Dib and ran out of the room for her dear life. After that, I burst out laughing.
"Well, they're moving faster than I expected!" I said to myself.
"Who's moving faster?" asked Kryz as she walked through the door.
"Oh nothing." I said. "Hey I have something to ask you. Can I see a tape of what happened on your date with Nur? I'm going out with him tonight."
"Sure." She said, shrugging. She reached behind her head where her many memory cards were stored. She took out the one that is used for video and audio recordings. "Here you go."
"Thanks!" I said, then I went over to my big transmission screen and put the card in the drive and watched.
Everything on the date went smoothly. The farthest they went was holding hands, and no kissing or anything. After I watched the entire date, I picked out an appropriate outfit for tonight. It was a long red dress with black and white horizontal stripes, which wouldn't make me look so tall when I went out in public.
Nur showed up exactly at 7 like he promised. He gave me a pin with a red rose on it. I put it on my dress because it matched.
"Wow, you look great Viz. I hope you're ready to dance!" he said.
I blinked. "Dance?"
"Yeah, we're going to Club Spife! It'll be fun!" he said excitedly.
I blinked again. "Club Spife? Why?"
"I know you'll love it! Don't be shy!" he said.
"Well, I guess we can go there. I'm just not much of a club person. And I'm royalty! I'm gonna be tallest in a few days! I can't do anything to ruin my reputation!" I said.
"Don't worry about it!" Nur said. "Nothing bad will happen. I'll protect you with my life!"
He took my hand and we ran out of the palace.
Meanwhile . . .
Two Irken females rode in a ship through space. They each had a determined look on their face. It looked as if they had big plans for something.
At Club Spife . . .
Nur and I made our way through a large crowd of people. I towered over all of them, and Nur was just a couple inches below me. He was very tall and respected, but he had already reached his maximum height.
We sat down at a booth and a lady took our order. We decided that we should sit down for most of the time until a lot of people stopped dancing, because my height was more recognizable when there were a lot of shorter people to compare me to.
We ordered non-alcoholic drinks. I have never had alcohol in my life and I didn't plan on it anytime soon.
Nur and I chatted as we sipped our drinks. He was excited for me that I was going to be Tallest. I told his he could say a speech at either my coronation or the party after, and he said he'd think about it.
After a while of sitting and talking, we finally noticed that many people had left already.
"Wow, it's really late." Said Nur. "Would you like to dance?"
I nodded and he took my hand. We walked up to the middle of the dance floor. The computer-DJ was playing a popular slow song, called "This Dream's a Reality." The computer-DJ had songs from all around the universe, (which were received from satalites) and this one just happened to be from Earth.
Nur put his arms around me, and I put mine around him.
I can see your eyes
That look upon your face
I know you're a dreamer
Who just wants a place
To stay for the night
Well, I've turned on the light
Shown you who I am
And now that you know
I never want you to go
He held me tighter. I smiled and closed me eyes while we swayed to the music.
Wake up
'Cause there's no need to sleep
I know you are weary
But I wanted you to know
This dream's a reality
For you and me
Nur ran his hand through one of my antennas.
Everywhere I walk
It seems like I'm flying
You have never let me see you
When you were crying
But if you ever need a shoulder
I'll hold you tight
'Cause I've turned on the light
Shown you who I am
And now that you know
I never want you to go
Wake up
'Cause there's no need to sleep
I know you are weary
But I wanted you to know
This dream's a reality
For you and me
This dream's a reality
For you and me
When the song was over, Nur took me outside to his ship, which we had used to get there. We flew up to the stars and gazed at the constellations while I rest in his arms.
"Nur?"
"Hmm?"
"I think I'm in love with you." I said.
He didn't say anything. He just touched my face, and kissed me deeply and passionately.
