Beverly Hills High Gymnasium…

The Autumn Ball was in full swing. Lights were illuminating the decorations of red, orange, and yellow. It was a formal dance so everyone was either in a suit or some kind of dress. It was a wonderful party with all sorts of dresses and jewelry being worn by all the girls and had them sparkling in the light.

Of course, the girls who were scoring most in style were Mandy, Caitlin, and Dominique. They had worked together and were dressed in slim spaghetti-strap dresses which accented their figures perfectly and had lots of guys drooling over them. They were beautiful and they knew it. They also enjoyed rubbing into the faces of all the other girls there.

"Girls, I think we can safely say we rule this party," Mandy smiled. Her two minions giggled in agreement.

As they were talking, there was a sudden series of gasps and wolf whistles coming from the entrance of the gymnasium where the ball was being held. The noises reached Mandy and her crew. The girl could tell when something important was happening and she was instantly heading for the source. As she managed to squeeze through some of the gawkers, her own eyes widened in shock.

Coming into the gym were her three enemies. Each of them was donned in gorgeous dresses which were composed of a certain color. Sam was in green, Alex in yellow, and Clover in red. Each dress was completely unique and Mandy was sure she would have seen them in a store.

With each of the girls was their dates. Tazuka was arm in arm with Sam. His suit was tinted blue and had his Pisces symbol on the breast pocket. Ryuki was practically glued at the hip with Alex in his red tinted suit and Dragon symbol. Finally, Takada could be seen whispering something into Clover's ear, making her giggle. His navy blue tinted suit and Dog symbol made him look dashing.

"No way!" Mandy cried as she stomped forward. She eyed the dresses enviously and could easily recognize the style. "There is no way these forgeries can be this nice! There's no way!"

"Forgeries?" asked Clover smugly. "What do you mean?"

"These rags you call dresses!" Mandy snapped. "They may look like a Narukawa design, but I know for a fact that her next set of designs aren't due for months!"

"Oh, so you're familiar with my mother's work?" Ryuki asked politely.

Mandy instantly stiffened at Ryuki's words. She slowly looked at Ryuki, along with every other fashion knowledgeable girl in the room.

"Ryuki's mother was trying to find some subjects for her Prom Seasons designs," Tazuka smirked, loving the look on Mandy's face. "Ryuki mentioned that Alex, Clover, and Sam had a ball coming up."

"Next thing we know," Takada added. "She's personally giving the dresses to the girls."

"She told us we get to keep them too!" Alex smiled brightly while she hugged Ryuki's arm. "She is so cool."

Mandy sputtered, unable to say anything as her face turned red. She was fuming mad and completely jealous of her enemies. She gave a snort and walked away, followed by her two cronies.

"Yes!" Clover cheered, "We so rule!" As luck would have it Clover was going to enjoy this entire night thanks to their new dresses.

"Hey, this is a dance, right?" Takada asked. "Let's dance!"

"OK," Clover giggled as Takada took her to the dance floor.

"Shall we?" Tazuka asked, taking Sam's hand.

"But of course," Sam winked before her date whisked her away to dance.

Alex and Ryuki were the only left as they stood nervously. His mother had questioned him about Alex and well it hadn't been very comfortable. He had gone completely speechless and blushing mad when he first saw Alex in that dress. It looked really nice on her. He could have done without his mother taking photos of all of them together though. That had been really embarrassing.

He knew he liked her, but his last relationship hadn't gone so well. How could it when he'd been forced to erase her memory? Alex was a secret agent, not unlike himself, and he knew she could be trusted.

The girls had also grilled the boys of information and the three of them had come clean about the armors, minus the mention of the Zodiac War and the other Knights. They just gave the girls enough info that would satisfy them. Their boss, Ichijyo, would be absolutely livid if they ever revealed too much and an angry Ichijyo was a really scary thought.

Now, Ryuki was really nervous. He had yet to ask Alex to dance. His eyes wandered and he could see Caitlin coming at him. He really didn't want to dance with her! So, thinking and moving quickly, he grabbed Alex around her waist. Alex gasped and then smiled up to Ryuki, who managed to blush. She was doing a bit of blushing herself.

"Do you…ano…want to dance?" he asked her.

"Sure," Alex smiled, wrapping her arms around his neck as he slowly led her to the dance floor.

Takada and Tazuka could only watch in amusement as Alex and Ryuki danced together. They weren't completely blind and could see that both the Yellow Spy and Dragon Rider had chemistry. The Red and Green Spies could see it too as they danced with the Dog and Shark Rider, respectively.

Ryuki's eyes gazed down into Alex's softly as he rested his forehead on hers. Alex just sighed. He was just so warm.

Mandy was in the corner, watching with livid frustration as her worst enemies in the entire school were enjoying the dance. This was supposed to be her night! Hers! Not theirs! If it weren't for those dresses!!!

Alex and Ryuki continued to dance. He knew that he couldn't have a stable relationship. His life was full of danger. However, unlike Caitlin (the one he met in Canada), Alex was no stranger to danger. She was a Spy for WOOHP and he was an Operative for Smart Brain. Even Yaminekoryu could tell they were a good match.

Ryuki then decided to just go for it and closed the gap between his face and Alex's. She let out a gasp and then a sigh as she closed her eyes. Inwardly, she reveled in the warm sensations that Ryuki's touch was instilling in her.

'I could stay like this all night,' she sighed dreamily in her thoughts.

Clover and Sam cheered for their friend. The night was good, and the future looked even better.

THE END
