Hoping its right

Chapter Ten

Choice A

You Kai are invited to the annual ball at the Storms hotel.

Your dance partner is Rei.

"Tala look!" Kai said excitedly, "I'm with Rei! That means that the program said that we were meant for each other!"

"Same here!" Tala said also excited.

"You're going with Rei," Kai looked at him skeptically.

"No silly I'm going with Bryan!" Tala grabbed Kai's arms and started dancing. They looked ridiculous; Tala was happy and spinning round and round willingly, while Kai had a look of complete horror on his face and was trying to stop.

Who else could make this situation worth while besides Bryan?

"I hope you're not getting used to dancing with each other," Bryan and Rei approached them, "Because you won't be dancing like that tonight."

"Bryan," Tala said dropping Kai out of embarrassment, "What are you doing here?"

"Eating breakfast," Bryan deadpanned as Rei left his side to see if Kai was ok.

"Right," Tala laughed nervously. He searched for something to change the topic. He spotted Robert and took the opportunity, "Hey. What are you guys doing here, besides the obvious of course?"

Bryan inwardly laughed at how badly Tala had saved himself from making the same mistake twice.

"Well besides eating breakfast, we were wondering who was going to buy Rayne a dress. She's still asleep and I doubt that she would come out of her room wearing the only clothes she has access to."

"I'll do it," Kai volunteered. They all looked at him strangely; Kai the person that never did anything for anyone was offering to buy Rayne a dress. When was the world going to end?

"What? Do you honestly trust anyone else to pick out a respectable dress," Robert looked at him beginning to see his point. If Enrique or Oliver picked it out it would be too revealing, but if Rei picked it out it would be too girly. Bryan had no fashion sense what so ever.

Robert couldn't trust any of the girls because they would buy a dress that they want not anything that Rayne would like. He didn't even want to think about what Tala would pick. "I see your point," Robert handed Kai the money Rayne gave him; "Just buy something that isn't pink."

"Now why would he buy Rayne something that was pink," Enrique asked 'innocently.'

"Oh I don't know," Spencer said sarcastically, "Maybe so he can get killed?"

"Oh…right, she doesn't like pink…" Everyone sweat dropped; they thought Enrique was kidding.

"Who's going to do her makeup," Rei asked remembering the other part of her request.

"Who knows how to do makeup?" Spencer asked curious as to who would have to try and 'tame the beast.'

"Well…" Oliver said thinking, "Mariah does but she would end up wearing all pink… Emily wears some but not much. It wouldn't be prominent."

They stopped to think for a moment and Rei realized something, "Where's Johnny?"

"He's still in bed with Rayne. They were pretty tired." Robert answered.

"Wait," Tala said grinning evilly, "So they…"

"No Tala," Robert said frowning, "they did not." He continued frowning and Tala began to wonder why.

"Are you frowning because they shared the same bed or because they didn't do anything?"

"Because they didn't do anything," Robert answered Tala's question, "Johnny plans on asking her out elaborately after the dance."

"So what's the problem?" Tala continued his inquiry.

"Robert's worried that Johnny will back out at the last second. He's known to get nervous really easily if he's doing something he's not sure of the outcome," Spencer answered so his boyfriend wouldn't have to.

"Well…" Bryan said aloud, "All we have to do is make her look absolutely stunning, then he won't be able to back away. She will be like a 'human Johnny magnet'…although I think she already is."

"Bryan's romantic…." They all said stunned.

Rei however was trying to stop the oncoming rant, "Bryan is a human being like everyone else. Just because he went insane at one world tournament does not mean that he is different from everyone else. He is capable of reading, feeling, apologizing and being romantic at times." Rei breathed a deep breath when he saw that Bryan was not starting to rant.

They looked at Rei strangely but did not ask. "And how do you propose that we make Rayne look stunning? In case you haven't noticed she's not exactly hot…or thin for that matter." Enrique said skeptically.

Oliver smacked him over the head, "There is no one definition of 'hot' Enrique. Rayne is not skinny like the girls you see in magazines or anime. She has curves and is healthy. She had a sense of modesty and will not just give herself to anyone. She is perfect for Johnny. She won't let him have whatever he wants and she'll keep him out of trouble.

As for the whole how can we make her look stunning thing; Eni we have 14 gay guys at our disposal. Anything is possible. Now who's going to do the makeup?"

"Tala is," Bryan volunteered him. They looked at him like he was crazy; Tala do makeup? Never! "Trust me. He can do makeup. What? Do you think those eyes," he gazed into them and his voice softened, "Are naturally defined by black lines? Or that those luscious eyelashes are normally that black?"

Tala chuckled not breaking the gaze, "He does have a point there. I'll do it. So what do you want her to look like?" He turned his head to Kai who seemed to be smiling deviously.

"Rainbow Goth."

"Rainbow Goth," they asked confused, "What in the world is Rainbow Goth?"

"Oh you'll see…"

"O…K…" Robert ignored the insane look in Kai's eyes, "Then Tala you and Bryan go with Kai to pick out the makeup to match the dress." Bryan looked at him strangely, "You're going to keep him out of trouble." Bryan shared a look with Kai and Tala and smirked terrifyingly.

The three walked out of the hotel and Rei looked at Robert warily, "I don't think that was a good idea."

"Neither do I Rei, neither do I."

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"So Kai," Tala said curiously, "Where do you plan on getting this 'Rainbow Goth' dress?"

"Lydia." Was the short reply as the got into the car.

"Wait," Bryan said surprised, "You're getting her to do Rayne's dress. When did you take such an interest in her? You usually save her stuff for people you've known for years."

Kai smirked, Bryan had just said more than one sentence in a row, "I sort of owe her for something she did yesterday," he said thinking of the position she made him be in with Rei, "Plus I'm sick of Johnny going from girl to girl and always moping around whenever he gets dumped."

Tala smiled as he knew exactly what Kai meant. Johnny had such a big ego and whenever he didn't get something he liked he would explode. It was really annoying, but since Rayne had come, it hadn't happened anymore.

Tala started a conversation with Kai and Bryan began to feel out of place. He was a third wheel. Kai and Tala were boyfriend and…well boyfriend. There was no reason for him to be there, he was no expert on makeup or clothing. He felt out of place.

Tala saw the look on Bryans face on the mirror it was one of complete loneliness. He slipped his left arm behind the seat and Bryan grabbed on to it. "Hey Bryan," Kai said seeing what Tala was doing, "Remember that time when Tyson got stuck in my room?"

Bryan grinned out of character, "Yes….that was priceless."

Tala was confused. When did Tyson get stuck in Kai's room and why wasn't he there? "Wait what? When did that happen?"

Kai smirked, "Yesterday. Tyson wanted to know what my 'super secret scary territory' looked like. He somehow opened the door without a key; I think that guy who can open doors with his head helped him. He didn't see the loop on the floor and he stepped in it. When I got to the room Tyson was hanging upside down and was screaming his head off."

"Wait," Tala said smiling still confused, "How does Bryan know about it and where was I?"

"You were at the Majestics place and Bryan came up because he heard Tyson screaming."

"You were worried about Tyson?" Tala asked surprised.

"No…" Bryan said sinisterly, "I wanted to see what made him scream so I could do it to him too."

Tala looked at Bryan; that had sounded so wrong.

"I didn't mean it like that," Bryan defended himself.

"Sure you didn't Bryan," Tala teased him.

Kai smiled. It seemed that Bryan and Tala were over the awkwardness of the situation, if only he and Rei could. Unfortunately they never really had the chance. They were always working on separate projects.

"We're here." He said breaking Tala and Bryan out of a trance.

"I still can't believe you're having Lydia make a dress for Rayne." Tala said stunned, "Do you even know what size dress she wears?"

"Yes," Kai said annoyed, "I asked Oliver…he seems to know almost everything about her…it's sort of creepy."

"Tell me about it," Bryan said agreeing.

"What is a Rainbow Goth Kai?" Tala asked wondering what he had gotten himself into.

"You'll see Tala, you'll see," was the blunt response.

They walked into a store titled, 'Lydia's longings.' Kai walked up to the desk and greeted the girl warmly (well at least as warm as he could get). "Lydia."

"Lydia Darling!" Tala said dramatically.

Said person smiled in response, "Why are you guys here? I wasn't expecting you."

"You remember how you said you couldn't find the perfect person for the Rainbow Goth dress?" Kai explained, "I found her for you."

"Really?" She said interested, "Walk with me. You can tell me about her on the way."

Kai nodded and swung his arm around her shoulders as they walked. Tala and Bryan followed not at all surprised by Kai's 'odd' behavior. Lydia had been his girlfriend when Kai discovered that he was gay. Instead of dumping him and telling the world, she pretended that she was his girlfriend until he was ready to come out.

He owed a lot to Lydia. That's why she was his best friend.

Lydia was picky about who got to wear her dresses. That's why Tala and Bryan were surprised when Kai wanted Rayne to wear one. She wouldn't sell one of her dresses for a billion dollars if the person did not fit the 'look' she wanted. She called it her creative vision; Tala called her crazy.

"This is it," Kai said catching Tala's attention, "Rainbow Goth."

Tala's breath caught in his breath; it was perfect for Rayne, "Kai, its perfect." He then proceeded to grab tons of makeup off of the shelf while Bryan stood in his normal position looking at him like he was insane.

"Aren't you going a little over board Tal?"

"No way."

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Rei and Oliver were hard at work in the kitchen. They had to make food for the entire hotel, yet somehow they managed to keep a conversation going.

"So Rei," Oliver smiled to himself, "How do you like your pairing?"

Rei blushed, "its fine I guess. Who did you get put with?"

"Enrique of course! You want to know something funny?" He asked laughing to himself.

"What?" Rei asked curious as to what made Oliver get the weirdest expression on his face.

"Apparently if both Rayne and Mariah were gay they would be a couple!" Oliver and Rei both laughed out loud.

"She must have a thing for redheads," Oliver nodded his head agreeing.

"So," Oliver said returning to the earlier subject, "How do you feel about Kai?"

Rei blushed even more if possible, "He's cool…"

Oliver smiled knowingly; that was how he had been before he and Enrique got together, "So what are you wearing?"

"I don't know…what I usually wear?" Rei asked with everything going on with the Johnny Rayne situation he hadn't even thought about attire for himself.

"Oh no, that won't do Rei," Oliver said stunned that he hadn't even thought about it, "We have to make you look awesome! Come to my room to get ready…everyone's going to be there to get Rayne ready anyway… I have the perfect outfit for you!"

Rei sighed; he knew he was in trouble.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Rayne woke up once again in the arms of Johnny except this time she was fully clothed. It wasn't so bad. In fact if he asked her out again she would probably say yes.

She turned around and saw Johnny's eyes open, "Hey."

"Hey yourself," Johnny said surprised that she had slept that long. It was 11 am and he had woken at 9. He watched her sleep the entire time and was now happy. Unlike yesterday Rayne hadn't jumped away when he had his arms around her.

"What time is it?" Rayne mumbled not fully awake. She was enjoying the warmth Johnny's body created.

"Eleven."

"Really?" Rayne asked surprised she had actually slept in.

"Yeah. I have something to show you after the dance," Johnny said nervously.

"Mhmmm," Rayne said not really paying attention, she was snuggling up to Johnny's chest for warmth.

"So don't go running off with Tala in the middle of the night!" Johnny joked.

That got Rayne's attention, "Now why would I go run off with Tala? He's my brother and he's gay. Plus Johnny, I'm not into incest."

Johnny laughed, "Then isn't this against the rules?"

"No," Rayne created a loop hole, "I can't sit next to a boy, but I can sleep with one."

Johnny grinned, "Not like that Johnny!" Rayne smacked him over the head.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Rei and Oliver walked out of the kitchen covered in flour. Let's just say that they got a little carried away. They were laughing about some unknown joke when they ran into two people they had learned about last night.

"Tyson, Max," Rei said laughing.

"How's your new bed," Oliver asked hinting at another subject.

"H-how do you know about that," Tyson asked worriedly.

"Oh we know about everything Tyson," Rei said terrifyingly.

"Come on Tyson," Max said pulling on Tyson's shirt, "We have to go," They ran away. Moments later Oliver and Rei heard, "KAI STAY AWAY FROM REI AND OLIVER! THEY KNOW EVERYTHING!"

Oliver and Rei collapsed with laughter.

"Did you guys eat sugar?" Kai asked suspiciously.

"No," Rei said through laughter. Kai looked at him and he changed his mind, "Yes."

"How much?"

"Who cares how much," Tala said excitedly, "Where can I get some?"

"There's…none…left," Oliver said between laughs.

"You ate it all!" Kai said outraged.

This only made them laugh more.

"We have to get them upstairs," Bryan said, "Before they destroy the entire hotel."

Kai nodded, grabbed Rei's arm and pulled him towards the stairs. Tala did the same to Oliver. This however did not work very well. Every time they took a step new fits of laughter would come out of their mouth.

"This isn't working," Tala said annoyed. "Bryan help me carry him."

Bryan nodded and grabbed Oliver's feet while Tala held onto his upper body.

"Oh thanks guys, now I have to carry Rei, the dress and the makeup on my own." Kai said sarcastically.

"Your welcome," was Tala's reply.

Kai picked Rei up bridal style and started walking up the stairs.

"What about the creepy man that can open doors with his head? He's said to live in the stairwell."

"Tala do you honestly believe that? Besides we've got him out numbered 3 to 1." Kai said.

"Don't you mean 5 to 1," Bryan asked curiously.

"No I don't."

"Brooklyn," Tala said surprised, "Why are you sitting in a stairwell?"

"I'm hiding from Lee," was the blunt reply.

"In a stairwell?" Bryan asked confused.

"Yes in a stairwell. If Lee finds out that I broke into some girl's room he's going to kill me. Not to mention the fact that I broke into Kai's to get Tyson to shut up." Kai cleared his throat, "Oh, hi Kai." Brooklyn laughed nervously.

"You don't have to worry about it Brooklyn. It was Tyson's fault besides it brought me some joy," Brooklyn looked at him strangely, "Besides I have a plan."

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Tyson," Lee growled, "I heard that you broke into a girl's room."

"What?" Tyson asked confused.

"Excuse me sir," The hotel manager said, "We have to ask you to leave. Breaking and entering is strictly against the rules. We won't call the police because you're a minor."

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Kai knocked on the door harshly; he was tired of carrying Rei. The door opened revealing a very tired looking Johnny.

"What's wrong with them," he asked referring to Rei and Oliver, "Did they get drunk or something."

"Sugar," Bryan said bluntly.

Johnny nodded understanding and let them in.

Robert and Spencer got up and took Rei and Oliver from them and put them on the couch. "Did you get it," Robert asked hinting at the makeup and dress.

"Yes," Kai said holding up a bag.

"Good."

"Wait," Johnny said confused, "Did he get what?"

"We're talking about your girlfriend's dress," Spencer said jokingly.

Johnny sighed sadly, "She's not my girlfriend."

"Yet," Oliver joked still high on sugar.

Johnny looked at him lifelessly, "I'm taking a shower."

"A cold shower?" Rei said humorously. Kai looked at him strangely. Who knew Rei was a perv?

"No, a hot shower."

"Wait," Robert said suspiciously, "Isn't Rayne in there?"

"Yes," Johnny said not amused, "Your point is?"

"You shouldn't be in there."

"It doesn't matter. You would most likely put me in there with her anyway," He grinned, "Besides it's not like there's anything I haven't seen." He entered the bathroom.

"Wait," Tala said confused, "Did we miss something?"

"It's a very long story," Robert said glaring at Oliver.

Tala nodded understanding.

"It's a good thing we got this dress Kai," Tala said glad they had chosen this particular dress, "Because he didn't seem very excited. Now he won't be able to resist her."

"Wait," Spencer said curiously, "Just how awesome is this dress?"

Kai took it out of the bag and showed it to them.

"It's beautiful." Robert said in awe.

"OOO SPARKILY," Rei and Oliver said happily.

"Where in the world did you get it?" Spencer asked curious.

"Lydia made it."

"As in Lydia your ex-girlfriend Lydia?" Robert asked surprised.

"Yeah," Tala answered for Kai, "I was surprised too."

"You know Kai; you didn't even get your cousin a dress from Lydia for her wedding. I think that if you were straight you would most definitely like her." Robert said suspiciously.

"Well," Kai said annoyed with the interrogation, "I'm not straight."

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Here Rei," Oliver said holding up a tux, "You can wear this."

"Are you sure I'll look good in it," Rei asked unsure.

"Yes Rei," Oliver smiled, "You'll look wonderful."

"You're not hitting on me are you," Rei wondered out loud.

Oliver laughed, "No I'm not. You're too girly for me. But Kai on the other hand…"

Rei blushed at what Oliver was implying.

It was an hour before the dance and everyone was rushing. No one seemed to be ready and people were panicking. Tala was hysterical.

He was a perfectionist when it came to makeup. And he just couldn't get Rayne's makeup perfect not to mention his own. In short he was majorly freaking out. Who better to help him out then Bryan?

"Tala," A manly voice broke him out of his thoughts, "Calm down. Rayne looks fine; you can't do any better than that. You look great to so stop. Go get dressed. We'll make sure Rayne gets on her dress."

Tala nodded and ran to get changed.

Kai commented lazily while getting out the dress, "I doubt he wouldn't have listened if it had been anyone else."

"Not even you?" Bryan asked interested.

Kai gave Rayne the dress ignoring her reaction and she left to change, "Are you kidding? He never listens to me. I'm surprised he hasn't gotten himself killed yet."

Bryan chuckled; he could imagine that perfectly.

"He could one of you lace this up for me," Rayne asked needing the corset back laced up.

Kai complied not even sparing her a glance or seeming interested in her body at all. Bryan didn't pay attention either.

"God I love gay guys," Rayne said happily.

Kai and Bryan laughed as she left the room. They were both already dressed. They were just waiting for their dates. Enrique, Johnny and Robert joined them moments later. It seemed that the living room was the place for the men to meet their dates.

The 'girls' emerged moments later and the guys began fawning over them.

Rei looked amazing or so Kai thought. He wasn't wearing his usual dress clothes. He was wearing a tux and it looked awesome on him. His hair wasn't in a pony tail either, it was down. His long black hair cascaded down his back. Let's just say that it took all Kai had not to drag him into the nearest bedroom.

Tala looked great not that Bryan would say it out loud. He wasn't wearing a traditional tux like everyone else. Instead his tux was a light blue that matched his wonderful soulful eyes. He wasn't wearing black eyeliner like usual, instead he was wearing red. Bryan had never seen Tala look more beautiful.

Johnny was stunned; if he ever thought he was going to walk out he couldn't now. Not after seeing Rayne like this. She truly looked like a fallen angel. The top of her dress was black leather like material and it had a destroyed look to it. At her knees it became a sheer rainbow colored material. She was actually wearing makeup and it was of course black and rainbow. He could never back out.

"Let's go," Oliver said cheerily the sugar clearly not warn of yet.

All ten of them walked out of the door and thankfully for Bryan took the stairs to get to the ballroom.

An hour later they finally arrived in the ballroom. What? It takes a while to get down 42 flights of stairs in high heels.

When they arrived at the dance everyone else was already there. It seemed that everyone except out fateful four was paired with whomever they were dating.

The first song of the night came on and it was required that everyone dance with their own partner. After that they were free to dance with whoever they want.

"It's a slow song," Rayne groaned. She hated slow songs. Although maybe it wouldn't be as bad with Johnny.

Tala wrapped his arms around Bryan's neck as Bryan's arms wound around his waist. It was a little awkward, comfortable but awkward. They weren't sure if the other liked them back. They were afraid that either Rei or Tala would kill them for dancing with their 'boyfriends.'

Rei also wound his arms around Kai's neck. Kai however did not just gently put his arms on Rei's waist like Bryan. He pulled Rei towards him; allowing Rei to rest his head on Kai's chest. It was different with them. They knew how the other felt. The only reason they weren't together was because their friends screwed them over with their stupid plan.

They would have just told the other about the plan except then it would ruin their friends. Bryan and Tala had way to much pride to admit that they had fallen for the other. If they had ruined the plan their friends would never be happy. So they had played along, buried their feelings until the plan was done. They couldn't help it now. The atmosphere was to perfect. If they didn't act now they would never be together and they would regret it for the rest of their lives. Tala and Bryan were on their own now.

The song was coming to an end and Tala hadn't even looked Bryan in the eyes yet. He was afraid. He didn't know whether or not Bryan liked him and he didn't want to be rejected especially by his best friend. If e lost Bryan it would be like he was loosing his only reason for living.

Bryan was mad. Tala hadn't looked at him and he really wanted to see those ice-blue eyes of his. Bryan put a finger under Tala's chin and lifted his face. Tala was forced to look into his eyes.

Tala gasped. Bryan had lifted his chin! Bryan had initiated body contact! Not only that but he had let down his barrier. Tala could see everything in those gorgeous lilac eyes.

Unfortunately for Tala the song had ended and a fast one was starting up. That wasn't really a problem they could still stare into one another's eyes while dancing to a slow song.

That, however, wasn't the problem. The girl with a very demented grin on her face was. "Come on Tala," Rayne said mischievously, "Let's make Johnny jealous."

Bryan nodded allowing Tala to go. Rayne grabbed his arm and dragged him in view of Johnny. Tala's eyes never left Bryan's until they had to.

Johnny knew Rayne didn't like Tala. He knew she was just trying to make him jealous. Unfortunately for him it was working. He wasn't jealous of Tala per say but he really really wanted to be dancing with Rayne again.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Mariah watched Rayne dance with Tala over Brooklyn's shoulder. She was confused. Why was Rayne dancing with him?

"Brook why is Tala dancing with Rayne? Isn't he gay? And isn't he going out with Kai?" Mariah asked puzzled.

"Yes to both. He and Rayne have this charade going on where they're brother and sister. I think Rayne's trying to make Johnny jealous and I think its working. Plus you have to admit that Tala's a good dancer. Who wouldn't want to dance with him?" Brooklyn answered.

"How do you know that," Mariah asked both curious and suspicious.

Brooklyn chuckled thinking of when they had rescued him from the stairwell…and Lee as well for that matter, "Robert told me," he lied easily. What would Mariah think of him if she knew the truth?

Mariah fell for his lie easily, "I guess she has a thing for red heads."

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Rei was in heaven. Kai hadn't left his side all night. Even when he had been asked by Miguel, who is known to be the best dancer and the guy Kai apparently used to like, Kai stayed with me.

But unfortunately for Rei the dance was coming to an end and they would have to separate soon. Oh how he hated being in Bryan's room instead of his own. If only Kai would ask him to stay.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Rayne looked around the room in wonder. It seemed that everyone was getting their happy ending. She was glad everyone was joyful. She hated seeing people sad.

Rayne jumped when she felt a pair of arms wrap around her waist.

"Are you ready," Johnny whispered in her ear.

"Yes," She answered. She really wanted to know what Johnny was so eager to show her.

"Follow me."

Johnny really wanted to get out of there before the duel. He knew he couldn't win. Sure he was strong but he was no match for Oliver. He was too graceful and way too fast.

Who knows maybe they'll get a happy ending of their own.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Kai was for the first time in his life nervous. He was walking Rei back to his room. He was planning on asking Rei out once they got to his room. But he didn't have to worry he had plenty of time they were only on the 22nd floor.

Shit

Rei lived on the 22nd floor.

They walked towards the room and Rei started to get nervous. If Kai was going to make a move it would have to be now.

"Rei," Kai said as they reached the door.

"Yes Kai," Rei said nervously.

"Do you like living here?"

Rei was confused what did Kai mean, "Well yeah I like living here," Kai frowned, "This hotel is nice."

Kai laughed and Rei smiled he had gotten Kai to laugh. He didn't know why…but it was still nice to know he could make Kai laugh.

"I meant do you like living with Bryan?" Kai clarified.

"It's ok," Kai didn't know whether he should be happy or sad, "But I know one way it would be better."

"How would it be better?" Kai asked curiously.

"If I was with you."

Kai smiled.

Rei wanted to be with him.

He leaned down and kissed Rei passionately.

Everything was going to be okay.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Johnny why are we in a private jet?" Rayne asked curious as to what he could possibly want to show her on an airplane.

"You'll see," Johnny said smiling, "First. Where do you want to go?"

"Wait…What?" Rayne asked wondering if she had heard him clearly.

"Where do you want to go? I will take you wherever you want." Johnny said sweetly.

Rayne looked at him lovingly, "Where do I want to go Johnny?"

"I don't know Rayne, but I do know that you should look out the window."

Rayne turned her head and saw the most beautiful thing she had ever seen. The city lights spelled four words that meant the world to her. I love you Rayne.

"I've always had a thing for redheads. Johnny," she jumped on him, "I want to go somewhere with you."

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Bryan," Tala said sternly, "We have to take the elevator. You and I both know that we are way too tired to walk up 22 flights of stairs. You have nothing to fear I'll be here the whole time."

Bryan nodded weakly and stepped into the elevator with Tala.

The elevator started moving and Bryan began to shake.

Tala ran over and hugged Bryan whispering comfortingly into his ear, "The Point Of Fear Is To Conquer It."

"When did you get so damn smart?" Bryan asked the words having their desired effect.

"I didn't, Rayne is." Bryan laughed and then got serious.

"Tala please don't leave me."

"I'll never leave your side unless you want me to," was Tala's reply before he kissed Bryan.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Where's Johnny," Oliver asked as he entered the roof curious as to whether or not the duel was still on.

"With Rayne," Robert answered, "Taking her wherever she wants to go."

"How does he see that equal to a dinner," Enrique asked laughing.

"I have no idea," Spencer said also joining the conversation, "Oliver you owe me twenty bucks."

"No you owe me twenty bucks!"

"What are they arguing over now," Enrique asked curiously.

Robert answered by breaking up the fight, "Neither of you get any money because they got together after five days. Directly in the middle."

"So what exactly happened with everyone tonight," Oliver asked wondering if his other match making projects were working.

"Tala's with Bryan and Rei's with Kai," Spencer answered happily.

"Bryan's not going to get any sleep tonight," Robert commented amused.

"Neither were you," The other three bladers said laughing.

All four ran towards the door eager to get to their room.

Needless to say no one in the hotel got any sleep that night.

END

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

That's it. The first ending is done. Only two more to go. R&R
