OMG guys. I'm so happy and proud of myself. I feel victory that I'm actually finishing a long fan fic! I made a few stories but never got to end it because I lost inspiration. But, here I am now!

I STRONGLY SUGGEST that you play the song Last Hope by Paramore while reading this. But just at low volume so it doesn't disturb your reading! It's the only reason I wrote this Royal Ball part! Play Summer Love too by 1D! The story should've ended earlier but the song really inspires me. Hope you enjoy!

Chapter 24: Magical Night

"I made my decision.." I mumbled and smiled as I looked around at the beautiful and elegant place.

I stopped before the staircase and saw Serah make her way down, holding her skirt up. When I looked down, I saw Shiroyan in the crowd with Kurosaki. I wanted to shout out and wave but that would be so rude and humiliating to act that way in such an event.

I breathed deeply and raised my skirt. I went down on each step slowly, putting both my feet on the same step as I go don making sure I won't fall. I continued going down like that until I reached down. I felt relieved. And embarrassed somehow as I looked at the other girls going down with a breeze. They were effortless! I hope I could do that.

*Summer Love Plays*

"Hey!"

"Ah!" I turned and saw Shiroyan.

"Hey! Don't go surprising me like that!" I turned then gazed at him. He was in a tux! His pale greenish eyes were dazzling as he looked at me.

"Bikyu-chan.. You're.. You look beautiful.." He went close to me.

"I-I do? Th-thanks. You look.. You look h-handsome as well.." I blushed.

"Heh. Really? I know that." He smirked then laughed.

"Shut up!" I hit his arm then laughed with him. He bowed and offered his arm like a prince usually does in shows then I took his hand. Serah walked with us as we were finding Kurosaki in the crowd.

"Where's Kurosaki?" I asked Shiroyan.

"I don't know. I was just with him a while ago.. Oh! There he is! And your friends too!" He pointed.

"Oh, Serah-chan! Kurosaki's over there!" Before I got to tell her, Kurosaki turned to our direction and locked his eyes towards Serah.

"S-serah-chan. You look so different.. I didn't know you could look so.. So beautiful.." I saw him blush a little. Shiroyan and I laughed.

"Thanks Kurosaki.. you look good too." She blushed harder.

"Um, Oh hey! Tabi-chan! Woah. You look so different! You really do evolve you know? Like a pokemon!" He laughed and I pouted.

"Hey, We told you that we'll take pictures with you right? Mako! Sato! C'm'ere!" He waved at them and took out a camera from his pocket.

"Wh-Really? You have your camera in your pocket?" We all laughed.

"Hey! Oh hi Serah-chan! Shiro-kun and specially you!" Mako shook hands with Serah. he joined hands with Shiroyan and they both hit each other's back like normal bros.

"Hey Sato! Where's your girlfriend?" I asked.

"Oh, right. Here she is! Meet Emi! Emi, this is Serah, Tabiki and her boyfriend, Shiroyan!" He introduced us then we waved our hands as we were called.

"Nice to meet you! Saki, Emi desu." She bowed.

"You look great Emi-chan!" Serah said. They got along easily.

"What about your partner Mako?" I asked.

"Here! She's Ichigo!" He said. She had red hair. Like her name, a strawberry.

"You can call me I-chan!" She said. We introduced ourselves and exchanged compliments.

"hey! Don't forget the pictures! Hey, you there. Can you take our pictures?" He poked a guy who was just alone then handed him the camera.

We had plenty of pictures. Individual pictures, paired pictures, grouped pictures, everything! After all that get together, we finally split up with our partners.

"Good evening everyone!" Tora went on the stage end made the people clap and get all hyped.

"Having a good time?" He paused again and the crowd answered.

"Good! but this is just the start! At the end of the night we'll have our king and queen! How about that?" The crowd went louder.

"Let's get this party started! Let's start with a sweet and slow music! Let's all have a fun time!" He went off the stage.

Shiroyan bowed and reached out his hand.

"Mind if I dance with you?" He said.

"Stop acting, little prince." I took his hand and let him stand properly.

"I'm not a prince you know? I'm a king. And you are... My lovely Queen." He said as he held my hand and my waist.

"Really?"

"Yeah, really. Did you forget that we just got married?" He put his hand in front of me, showing his ring.

"There is no way on earth I'd forget that." I showed mine too.

"Yeah. And if you did forget, I'd let you remember." He said.

"How? Going to that marriage booth again?" I asked.

"Nope."

"What? Then how exactly will you let me remember?" I was puzzled.

"If you did forget, I would ask you to marry me." I blushed so hard.

"Then.. I should've just forgotten about it." I smiled.

"You don't have to. The time will come."

"It will.." I leaned my head against his chest. He put his hand around my waist and held my hand. I rested my hand on his shoulder and danced to the music.

"Aww. They're so cute!"

"I know! I think they've dated for 6 months now?"

"I really don't know.. They were announced as the Best Married Couple yesterday right?"

"Yeah. The first day, BMC was Sato and Emi! They must be the ones who'll get the chance to be king and queen!" I heard them mumbling then I laughed.

"Why?" He asked.

"Didn't you hear them talking about us?" I laughed.

"No.. Not really. I was just so into the song. It almost led me to tears." He laughed.

"Really?" I laughed at him.

"Just kidding! Have you ever seen me cry?"

"Well, hmm.. Let me think." I put my hand on my chin and thought.

"Hey, I'll just grab us some drinks while you're thinking! I'll be right back." He smiled.

"Okay. I'll just sit there." I pointed. I sat on one of the purple couches with a table In front.

I rested my chin on my hands as I thought about his question. Hmm.. Did I ever see him cry? Now I'm starting to think deeply. This happens to me when I'm thinking too hard. I don't notice the things around me. I just ignore them. I cupped my face with my hands. I closed my eyes as I thought. Later, I felt something hot around me and near my face. I ignored it. I just ignored it until I heard a familiar voice. When I opened my eyes, I saw Usui gripping a guy's tux. I felt scared.

"Don't touch her. You're lucky her boyfriend's not around. Get out of here or you're dead meat." He said. The guy ran away.

"Usui-kun? What happened?" I asked.

"Didn't you notice that guy was just putting his arm around you?" He said.

"Wh-what!? N-no... I'm thinking so deeply I didn't... Never mind.. Misa-chan! You look great" I said. Her gown fits perfectly. Her hair was curled and she had a black gothic choker and wore black velvet gloves.

"Th-thanks.. You do too! Where's shiroyan?" she asked.

"Oh he grabbed drinks." I said.

"Misa-chan! Usui! I didn't know you were here!" Shirkyan went back and sat beside me, handing me the drink.

"Yeah. Some guy just-"

"Urusai!"I covered his mouth.

"What happened?" No one answered.

"What just happened?" He asked again.

"Ugh. Okay.. Some guy-"

"I saw someone putting his arms around her." Usui explained. Shiroyan stood up immediately. I felt tense.

"Shiro-kun.. Don't.. I'm fine. Don't mess up the night. Please.." I gripped his hand tight. He breathed deeply and pulled me away. He led me outside to a balcony.

"The view is nice right?" He said.

"Yeah.. It's really nice.. You don't get to see a view like this everyday." I said. He stayed silent.

"Are you... Mad?" I asked.

"Mad? No! Why would I be? I was just thinking if you ever saw me cry." He answered plainly.

"BAKAAAA!" I punched his face. I couldn't kick anyway. I lost my balance as I punched him then fell over him. When I opened my eyes, I found myself lying on top of him.

"S-sorry.." He got up then helped me stand up. We went back inside.

"You know what, I never saw you cry." I said.

"Well, Do you know what could make me cry?" He asked. He hugged me as we danced to the music.

"What?"

"You..." He said.

"m-me?"

"Yeah. I would cry if I lose you.." I blushed. I closed my eyes and suddenly felt tears stream down my face. He held my shoulders then wiped the years of my face.

"Now you're the one who's crying." He smiled.

"I'm just glad it didn't mess up my make up," we laughed.

*Random Party Song plays*

We went back with the others and had fun. Serah, Misaki and I made friends with Emi and Ichigo. We took a lot more pictures together. By 10 o'clock, Misa-chan and Usui left. She said she didn't want to stay late and that parties aren't her thing. After an hour, Tora went back to the stage.

"Attention Minna! Before the night ends, we would like to announce the king and Queen!" The crowd cheered.

"Now.. Who do you think would be crowned as the Royal couple? Drum Roll!" The crowd fell silent.

"Well, who do you think?" He said. We heard some shouting out Naoya and other people. We looked at each other and laughed.

"Why would they shout Naoya?" I said.

"Maybe because we were the BMC yesterday?" He said.

"Well, that makes sense." I said. He put his arm around me.

"Okay, okay. Since this is an open event, everyone and anyone has a chance to be crowned! I won't make this last long... Drum Roll!" The crowd fell silent once more.

"The king and queen of the night are-" the crowd went louder. My head felt blurry and heavy. I lost my balance. Gladly, Shiroyan caught me. He smiled at me but I just looked at him. Me head feels swirly. Maybe I'm just tired and sleepy.

I noticed the people were looking at us and a light was focused on us. I slowly closed my eyes and I felt myself being carried by shiroyan by bridal style. When he put me down, I found myself standing on where I could see the crowd clearly. The light was brighter. I looked at my left and saw Tora. I blinked hard twice. It removed the dizziness a little.

"What can you say about being crowned as queen?" He asked.

"What? Who's the queen? Sorry, I felt a bit dizzy.." I said. We all laughed.

"You two are the Royal Couple!" he said.

"Us?" I looked at Shiroyan.

"Now what could you say?" He asked again.

"Well, It felt weird being watched while getting married. But, seriously, thanks. Thank you everyone. I didn't expect this at all." We all laughed.

"What about the king?" He shifted to Shiroyan.

"Nothing much. I would just want to thank you guys."

"Well, everyone, make way for the Royal couple's dance!" he said. The people moved aside, forming a big circle space. The spotlight followed us as we made our way to the center.

*Last Hope Plays *

We danced at the middle. Moving slowly, and swaying around. I leaned on his chest as we danced to the enchanting music. I observed the things happening around me. As we danced, I saw something moving across the floor.

"Eeep!" I shouted. I raised my leg as I shouted.

"What?" He laughed.

"Don't laugh at me! I just though I saw a rat or something.. But it's nothing anyway.." I put down my leg.

"I hate it when you laugh at me.." i said. we laughed together then continued dancing. Soon, the crowd danced along with us.

"Shiro-kun.."

"Yeah?"

"About the thing that was bugging me lately.."

"Oh, what about it?"

"It was... It was about moving schools..."

"Wha-why?" He asked.

"Uh.. It's.. Complicated..."

"Well, what's your decision?" He asked.

"I've been thinking about it lately and... I've made up my mind..." I said. I breathed deeply.

"I'm.. I'm going to Seika next year." We stopped dancing.

"R-really? That's- that's great! That's..." He hugged me tight and I hugged him back.

He put his arm around my waist and pulled me closer to him. He touched my cheek gently then kissed my lips. In the middle of the crowd.. At first I felt embarrassed. My eyes widened. But later, I felt comfortable and didn't care about the other people. I closed my eyes and put my hands around his neck, kissing each other passionately. Feeling each other's coolness from the cold drinks. I was very happy. And I knew he was too. At that moment, it felt like we were the only people standing there.. No crowd.. Nobody. Just me and him.. Me and him..

This is better than a perfect night and a perfect kiss.. I couldn't ask for more. We broke the kiss and smiled.

"I love you.." I said.

"I love you more." He smiled Then kissed my forehead.

"Are you happy?" I asked.

"Of course I am.. I'm always happy when I'm with you. I'm your king.. Your pretend husband.. Your-"

"Baka.." We smiled at each other.

I have to say... This is a Magical Night.
