Chapter 2

Pine Valley

Bianca just arrived in Pine Valley the night of the ball and barely had enough time to get ready for the ball. She finds a babysitter for Miranda and she couldn't believe that she found a babysitter in such a short notice. Bianca gets ready and has her driver drop her off at the ball.

Masquerade Ball

Bianca arrives at the ball wearing a stunning long blue silk old fashion dress with a blue matching mask. She walks in and she sees her Uncle Jack and Erica dancing in the middle of the dance floor, so she walks up to them and she taps on Erica's shoulder.

"Do you mind if I cut in" Erica turns to Bianca and she doesn't recognized her at first and then she concentrates on Bianca then she recognizes her.

"Oh my sweetheart what are you doing her." hugging her tightly knowing she hasn't seen her daughter in months.

"I missed you to mom…I heard you were having a ball so I decided to come." they let go of the embrace.

"I'm really glad you can make it…"she looks around trying to find Maggie even if she could. "Where is Maggie?"

"Maggie is to busy with studying so she's still in Paris…she wanted to come but she couldn't and I was to busy packing and planning to where I couldn't tell her ahead of time."

"Oh well maybe she'll come to the next ball I plan"

"Yeah maybe and I'll tell her ahead of time" Erica can see there is something wrong with her daughter.

"Bianca sweetheart what's wrong." Bianca looks at her mother and she knows that her mom knows there is something wrong with her so she tries to hide it. "Oh it's nothing just a little tired it's a long plane ride." but Bianca should know that she can't hide anything from her mom.

"Bianca I know there is something wrong so tell me maybe I can help"

"I don't think you can" Erica holds Bianca's hands.

"Let me try" Bianca finally opens up to her mom.

"It's just been months since me and Maggie moved to Paris together and I told her I will give her all time she needs but its getting harder to wait for her."

"You mean you and Maggie are still only friends"

"Yes and I know she loves me the way I love her but I guess she still scared and I try to be there for her and help her anyway I can but I thought she would figure out by now."

"Bianca you can't push her she will come around you just have to be patient and give her the time that she needs, yes it may be longer then you thought but I know how much Maggie cares for you and she will tell you when the time is right. I know she loves you the same way you do and she will tell you." Bianca hugs her mom again.

"Thank you Mom you help me so much"

"Finally I'm able to help you in a relationship, you always come here and fix are problems and finally I get to help you."

"Mom you have helped me so many times that I lost count, I can never repay for all the kindness and support you given to me."

"Bianca being here with me and your family is enough for me." they just smile at each other, and then they start to dance.

30,000 ft in the air

Maggie is sitting on the private jet heading to Pine Valley in a ball dress a long beautiful purple silk dress and mask to match, but she made herself look completely different to where no one is going to recognize her even Bianca because she wants it to be a surprise. She lands in Pine valley hours later and she takes a cab to the ball and when she arrives she spots Bianca right away on the dance floor dancing with Uncle Jack.

Masquerade Ball explosion

Maggie slowly walks up to Bianca and she taps Bianca on the shoulder.

"Do you mind if I cut in" Bianca steps to the side, ready to let Maggie dance with Uncle Jack.

"Of course" then Bianca starts to walk away and Maggie grabs Bianca's hand.

"I want to dance with you, if you would like to that is" Bianca blushes knowing a beautiful girl ask her to dance and even though Bianca can't recognize Maggie she knows she's beautiful.

"Ok I will love to dance with you." then Maggie pulls Bianca close to her and they dance to a slow song together and they dance like it seem forever, then Maggie starts to lean into Bianca but instead of pulling away she leans into Maggie knowing she cant resist this beautiful woman and they share their first kiss, but Bianca not knowing it. Bianca was knocked off her feet knowing this girl's kisses are amazing. That whole night Bianca and Maggie danced and talked and yet Bianca doesn't know. "We been dancing this whole night and shared one amazing kiss and yet I don't know who you are, do I know who you are." Maggie nods her head. "Then why won't you tell me who you are."

"You will when the time is right" Then Erica stands on the stairs with a microphone and faces the crowd.

"Can I have you attention" everyone faces her. "Thank you I just wanted to tell you thank you for coming tonight and for the charity that we received tonight and wanted to tell you all that we met our goal and more." everyone starts clapping. "Thank you very much and now its time to reveal yourself to your love ones and show your love ones who you are." Erica faces Jack and she takes off her mask and so does Jack and they kiss and everyone in the room removes their masks, then Bianca looks at Maggie and she removes her mask then Maggie slowly removes hers and Bianca sees Maggie for the first time that night.

"Maggie?" Maggie smiles at her. "Yes Bianca it's me" Bianca is so shocked and can't really say anything.

"It's you…all this…time…dancing with you…kissing you…it's been you this whole time."

"Yes I wanted to surprise you"

"Oh you did" Maggie can sense that something is wrong. "But I guess not in a good way"

"No it was in a very good way but I'm just confused that's all" not really understanding what Maggie is doing.

"Bianca I'm tired of waiting, I thought I needed more time to get over what Jonathan did to me and figure out my feelings but the truth is I know how I feel and who I feel it for…Bianca I love you… I'm in love with you and I want to be with you the way we want…that's if I'm not to late." Maggie hoping she's not and Bianca just stares at her and then Bianca pulls Maggie into a passionate kiss and Maggie gets her answer, she's not too late and she melts into the kiss. Then they feel the floor shake from underneath them and then the stairs explode and the ceiling caves in and the floor beneath them sinks in and the next thing everyone knew is there underneath cement and hurt badly.
