"Kai, its time to wake up!" Tala shouted after hiding a camera in Bryan's room. Several minutes earlier, he had been taking pictures of Kai and Miguel sleeping together in the same bed for blackmail.

"Ung… wha…?" Kai mumbled sleepily. "Oh, it's just you Tala…get out!" Miguel stirred slightly but didn't wake up. His hold on Kai's waist tightened.

"Kai…" he whispered. Kai heard it and looked down at Miguel sleepily before leaning back on the arm he was using as a pillow.

"You do know how you're lying down, correct?" Tala smirked as he walked out. "If this is how you act like when you're not dating…how will you act when you're a couple, I wonder?" Kai didn't reply as he was still contemplating when Miguel had said his name in his sleep only moments ago. Basically, he was ignoring Tala.

"Dang it…that's total nonsense," Kai whispered to himself. "He'd never want me." He wormed his way out of Miguel's grasp and ran the bath water. Sure he had taken a shower last night but hot water helped him relax and right now he needed to relax.

"Gosh…" Miguel muttered waking up only minutes after Kai had gotten in the bath. "Kai?" Hearing no answer, he got out of bed and looked at Kai's pictures. There were many of him and Tala when they were younger, maybe around the age of four and six and not in the abbey. There was one in particular that caught Miguel's attention. It was of Tala and Kai, sticking their tongues out and yet smiling at the camera with ice cream covered mouths.

He smiled and yet he felt jealous of Tala at the same time. Tala obviously knew a Kai that he didn't- not to mention that he knew Kai a lot longer then he did. He knew that he didn't need to worry about Tala being competition since he was going out with Johnny and was completely loyal to him. But still...

"Hey Kai, Miguel it's time for-" Johnny stopped when he saw only Miguel in the room, looking at Kai's many pictures. "Breakfast is ready."

"Johnny is everything okay?" Miguel asked.

"Yeah, yeah," Johnny said. "Just get Kai out of the bathroom and downstairs to eat. Spencer worries about him to much if he doesn't come down. He might've fallen asleep in the bathtub so knock and if he doesn't answer, open the door. He never locks it."

"Wouldn't he drown if he fell asleep?" Miguel asked.

"He doesn't fill the water up all the way," Johnny grunted. "Just get him already."

"The bathroom?" Miguel said quietly when Johnny left. "Why didn't I think of that? Kai?" He knocked on the door. There was a pause.

"Yeah?"

"Johnny said its time to eat," Miguel said.

"Alright...go ahead and head downstairs without me and tell Spencer I'll be there in a few minutes,"

"Alright," Miguel said, heading downstairs.

"Well there's one of them now where's the other?" Spencer asked.

"Miguel spent the night?" Ian asked.

"Kai siad he'll be down in a few," Miguel said.

"Alright. Take a seat," Spencer said. There were two spots open and Miguel took the open one next to Tala, Johnny on Tala's right. Johnny inwardly let out a sigh of relief. For some reason, it gave him a sense of security knowing that Kai wouldn't be sitting next to Tala but Miguel. Spencer and Bryan put plates of pancakes in front of everyone, Ian put the syrup and other things (whip cream, strawberries, blueberries, etc.) on the table.

"Miguel, if you want strawberries, I suggest you take them before Kai gets here. He's a strawberry fanatic," Spencer said.

"Pancakes?" Tala said, raising an eyebrow. "What's the occasion? And don't tell me its because I managed to rope Kai and Miguel into taking dance lessons with me and Johnny."

"The occasion is the occasion," Spencer replied simply.

"Don't answer me in a philisophical way, dang it, Spencer!"

"I am not. I am just telling you that the occasion is the occasion and that it should be celebrated,"

"This is really starting to piss me off..."

"You are only getting pissed off because you let yourself become riled-"

"Who started it this time?" Kai asked, raising an eyebrow when he noticed his usual spot being occupied. He sat down in between Miguel and Ian, content to be sitting next to Miguel anyways.

"So Johnny, how did you finally get Tala to take dance lessons?" Spencer asked. "This is a story worth listening to."

"There's not really a story to tell," Johnny muttered. "Lessons are at eleven, by the way."

"We still have another hour and a half," Tala shrugged.

"Hmph," Kai muttered, decorating his pancakes with strawberries. Miguel chuckled a little before biting into his pancakes. Kai looked at him questioningly and looked back at his pancakes literally buried in strawberries. He bit into the strawberries and barely managed to get some of the pancake into his mouth to accompany it.

"Kai, you're acting like a child," Bryan spoke up at last. Kai merely glared at him.

"Hn," he said. "You're the one acting like a child. Get off your high horse and spend the day with Oliver. It won't kill you to spend a day with him in public." Bryan glared at him and stormed upstairs.

"Bryan!" Spencer shouted. "Kai..."

"He deserved it," Kai pouted. "If he gets hungry, you know he'll come back down. He's not stupid." Spencer sighed and put Bryan's food in the microwave, not turning it on. Breakfast went on mostly in silence. Miguel, not sure what to say. Tala, wondering what was with Johnny's odd behavior and devising ways to get Kai and Miguel together if the dancing lessons didn't work. Johnny, wondering what had cause Kai to go off at Bryan, of all people, like that. And Kai, wondering why he was in such a foul mood.

Spencer left after depositing his dishes in the sink and telling Kai and Tala that it was there turn to wash the dishes, saying something about meeting Hiro at the airport. Ian rushed after Spencer and grabbing his coat, saying that Spencer was dropping him off at Kevin's on his way to the airport.

"Kai..." Tala said.

"Hm?"

"What was up with you just then?" he said, asking Johnny's silent question. "You almost never get riled up with Bryan. You usually just blow him off smoothly."

"Dunno, just felt like it," Kai said, looking down at his food. Tala sighed and reached around Miguel to ruffle Kai's hair. Miguel bit his lip in jealousy and looked to see how Johnny was taking this. The usually obnoxious red head was oddly quiet. His fists were clenched tightly and he was biting his lip, almost drawing blood.

"So what kind of dance lessons are these?" Miguel asked, hoping that Johnny would calm down.

"Ballroom," he said. Tala untangled his hand from Kai's hair. He moved his hand over Johnny's shoulders and the boy tensed before relaxing slightly.

"Why is your dad throwing this masquerade anyways?" Miguel asked.

"Because he wants to embarass me or try to by showing people I fell in love with an uncivilized person, a male nonetheless," Johnny said. "If Tala can get these lessons down, I'll embarass him."

"So its basically whether Tala can get hose dance lessons down which decides if you get embarassed or your dad does," Miguel mused.

"You never put it that way," Tala said.

"I thought it was obvious," Johnny muttered. He shrugged off Tala's arm and headed into the library. Miguel and Kai exchanged concerned glances as Tala lapsed into silence, staring at his hands.

"Is it something I do?" Tala asked finally. "What is it I do that makes him pull away from me?"

"I'm not sure, Tala...but I think that he's jealous," Miguel said.

"Jealous of what?" Tala asked.

"Jealous of a certain phoenix blader sitting on my left," Miguel said. "Johnny gets angry real easily and when he doesn't its obvious something's wrong. He already feels threatened by Kai and since you and Kai are close...he's probably scared that Kai will take you away from him. You could always call Robert and ask him if Johnny's told him anything..."

"Yeah...I think I will do that. Thanks Miguel," Tala said, heading upstairs to steal Johnny's cell phone so he could call Robert.

"Why would he feel threatened?" Kai asked. "I don't get it- he knows Tala's heart and loyalty is his and his alone."

"Its something he's probably not sure of either," Miguel said. "But he's probably scared because you're so close to each other. You even live in the same house."

"Hey-"

"I'm just saying, Kai," Miguel said. "These are only assupmtions going on here. Nothing final until the fiery redhead yells it,"

"I thought 'it wasn't over until the redhead sings'..."

"Johnny can sing?"

"I have no idea..."

"Well neither do I..."

Eleven o' clock at dance class

"Tala, Miguel, put your left hands on their waists. Not that low, Mr. Ivanov!" Tala snickered as the dance teacher, Gustav (Robert's butler) went off on him. Johnny smirked and pulled Tala into the correct position.

"Don't get him so riled up," Johnny whispered but he was still smirking, silently saying that he was enjoying Tala's little show.

"I can't believe I agreed to teach you..." Gustav muttered, going to help some of the other couples in the classroom.

"How come I have to be the girl?" Kai pouted.

"Because you're shorter," Miguel smiled, thinking how cute Kai looked when he was pouting.

"See? It's not that hard," Johnny said. "By the way, why did you call Robert using my cell phone?"

"Eh heh... I was wondering about whether he was going to be at your dad's ball thingy or not,"

"For forty-five minutes?"

"And how Germany was?"

"For forty-five minutes?"

"Well, um..." thinking of nothing else he could say, he captured Johnny's lips and smirked as he pulled away and spun him, bringing him back into his chest.

"I hate you right now."

"I love you too,"

"Looks like Tala got the hang of it," Kai muttered, trying to follow Miguel's lead but was failing miserably.

"You will too...you just need to get used to it," Miguel said. "I'll start with the right foot and you start with your left okay?" Kai nodded and they took four steps before Miguel spun him easily and brought his hand back to his waist.

"How come its so easy for you?" Kai asked.

"Well I had to learn the waltz, the tango-"

"The tango?"

"The tango," Miguel confirmed. "My mother and father were really big on me learning dances that represented my culture and then some- they still are. They loved dancing and wanted to share the experience with me."

"Wow..." Kai said. "It payed off, you're great at this."

"Its just that I know the steps," Miguel smiled. "You'll get the hang of it sooner or later. I didn't get it right away either." Kai nodded and let Miguel lead him. Looking at his feet for two reasons: 1) he was a first time dancer and they usually look at their feet and 2) He knew he was blushing under Miguel's smile and ocean blue eyes. He knew that if Miguel and him had been going out and he knew how to dance, this would be the perfect moment.

"I can't believe Gustav's teaching dance," Tala laughed, swinging his and Johnny's hands. "Is Robert not paying him enough?" They had seperated from Kai and Miguel after the dance practice, Kai saying that he wanted to check up on something and Miguel saying he'd go with him. After that, Tala had led Johnny into "The Enchanted Garden," as it was called.

"Oh, without a doubt," Johnny laughed along with Tala. "He gave Robert some sap story about 'dance and serving under Lord Robert were his callings and that he could be truly happy doing just that so Robert let him have the time off."

"Wow...doesn't he need him around 24/7?" Tala said, stifling a laugh.

"Apparently not," Johnny said, he pulled Tala closer, into an empty spot in the garden they had been walking through that was surrounded by tall bushes and as far as they knew, only they knew about it. "Now can we please stop concentrating on Robert?" He stood on his tip toes, not being tall enough to exactly reach Tala's lips. Tala smirked and moved a bit closer to Johnny.

"Of course," he said, leaning down and moving his mouth to meet passionately with Johnny's.

"So where are we going?" Miguel asked, jumping down after Kai.

"You'll see," Kai grinned. He held Miguel's hand, leading him through the maze of walls that were old buildings downtown. They came to a clearing and Miguel's eyes widened because inside a box that was open on the side was...

Me: CLIFF HANGER!! Sorry about it...

Miguel: (eye twitches) why did you have to put a cliffie in there?

Me: Because I had to put a cliffie in there, duh.

Kai: sighs and pouts, crossing his arms.

Tala: Well I'm happy

Johnny: Yeah...(distant kind of yeah)

Kai: You two got to make out, of course you're happy! Now put a sock in it. chases Tala around with a sock.

Me: Please review...even if it is to say you're unhappy with the cliffhanger...

Johnny: Well its your fault for putting it there!
