Chapter #11

For their very first dance battle, they weren't bad at all.

Easily, gracefully moving along, they were wining the battle. She brought the dazzle; he brought the sparkle. They shone together, as -Angel told himself- they were meant to be. And after a few minutes of passionate dancing, victory was theirs.

"When did those two paired up?" Everybody asked one another, never expecting to see these two together.

"They are not dating, are they?" Angel fan girls worriedly questioned.

"They can't be." Aubrey's fans confidently replied.

But the question in everybody's head was the same: Why were they together? Not for any romantic reason, that was for sure, seen from the redhead's perspective; but for the Latino, his partner started growing more and more beautiful every time he was around her; her smile seemed brighter each time, her hazel orbs more beautiful, her porcelain skin more perfect.

And no one seemed to notice a thing.

The station had been growing fuller the moment the dance battle started between the two crews. Angel and Aubrey, the Lu$h Crew was on one side, and Mo and his apprentice, a young Asian boy named Glitch, the Hi-Def crew was on the other. Mo and Glitch had already won respect in this neighborhood, while Angel and Aubrey had just joined the business.

It would not be easy, they both known.

"We'll take 'em down Mo!" Exclaimed Glitch as he saw them appear, "They don't seem to be that good, with their stupid sailor clothed and all!"

Aubrey hadn't been in the mood since they arrived, but with this, she was definitely upset. The redhead felt blood boiling in her cheeks as rage took over, and she couldn't help immediately hating the boy in too-colored clothes.

The youth laughed hard, yet his mentor gave him a slight hit on the back of the head, "What have I told you, G? Respect, little fella!"

Control the pup, Aubrey's mind yelled, enraged. And couldn't hold a smug smile as Mo gave the boy a lecture. Stupid kid, you'll learn to respect as we take victory away from you. And decided, Aubrey stepped up, ready to start the battle.

Angel followed immediately, openly smiling as he joined his beautiful partner. That kid just mad a very serious mistake. His mind told him, as a feeling of pity took over for the poor, un-experimented young boy. He was surely 13 or 14 years old, Angel was sure, and couldn't help wondering if the kid in front of him had a girlfriend. From there, it seemed not.

Mo and Glitch stepped up as well, equally decided, yet the younger seemed somewhat anxious. Feeling nervous, you little fly? Aubrey's mind laughed as she looked at the boy.

"It is good to have you two here." Mo said, smiling at them.

"It is good to see you t-" Angel started, but was obnoxiously interrupted.

"Do you know 'em?!" Glitch exclaimed, shocked.

"Of course I do, little man, they are my classmates." His mentor replied.

"You should learn to be quiet when other people are talking, you know… Glitch, is it?" Aubrey started, annoyed, "It is quite impolite to interrupt someone."

Glitch said nothing, instead, he remained quiet and waited for Mo to continue. Aubrey couldn't hold a satisfied smirk.

"Shall we start now?" Suggested Angel, excited.

"Of course man." Replied Mo, smiling in emotion. "Hey dude, could ya please turn it on?" He said to a young male, pointing at the boombox.

"Sure man."

And in a matter of seconds, music started playing, as the couples started performing.

"I must admit I wasn't expecting that one." Said Mo after the encounter.

"We weren't either." Said Angel, smiling.

"Fair win. You two are great." Mo said with a smile.

"You two are as well." Angel shook his hand.

"Hey Angel! Could we leave already? I'm starting to get bored!" Aubrey yelled from the exit of the underground train.

"Sure, mi princesa!" He yelled back.

"Since when do you call her 'mi princesa'?" Mo surprised, with a smirk.

"Uhh... Well, since we are a crew." Angel replied.

Mo's smile grew wider as he patted his apprentice's back, yet he didn't say a thing.

"See you later!" Angel said, rushing to get to Aubrey.

"See ya man." Mo said as he watched them leave.

"Are they dating of what?" Glitch asked as soon as Angel and Aubrey left.

"Nope." Mo replied, "Why?"

"They seem to be."

"Do they now? What makes you think so?"

"I dunno. I just thought."

"I see."

"She seems to be a daddy's girl, isn't she?"

"Hmm... She is."

"Curse the rich." Glitch scowled.

Mo ignored the comment with a suggestion, "Wanna go play video games?"

"Yay! Yeah man!" The boy replied with evident excitement.

After picking up their stuff, Mo and Glitch left the station, not suspecting someone was watching them.

"They are good." Angel said as soon as they were on the car.

"Yeah, but not enough to beat us." Replied Aubrey.

Angel started the car and drove to the pier. Where the redhead's yacht was patiently awaiting for them.

The Latino wondered why he had started to feel like this about his crew member, but couldn't find an appropriate answer. He flirted, she rejected. This was a pattern that had become normal between the two, but it was a pattern that had started to lead Angel to have somewhat different thoughts about Aubrey.

The redhead was always sarcastic and proud, not to mention smug, but the Latino had learnt to live with it. Though it had been barely a few weeks, he had accustomed to her since the first week in school they spent together. But now, there was something different about it all.

Aubrey couldn't see it, cause it wasn't that obvious yet, but she had started to feel a change in the attitude of her partner. Was he becoming more serious? She was sure it was not her imagination when she grew aware of this, but she could only imagine it was because the boy was finally growing up. She couldn't help feeling relieved at this.

Heavy silence was often found in their company, for none of them dared to say something (this meaning Angel), but Aubrey was okay with ignoring it in an almost olympic way. It was not that she didn't cared about it, but she didn't know what to do about it, and instead, opted for ignoring it. Contradictory, is it not?

As soon as they reached the pier, Aubrey got of the car and headed for the yacht, but not without reminding him of their practice session of the next day.

And Angel couldn't help staring at the slim figure as she walked away in graceful steps, lightened by the pale light of the shiny moon.

If only feelings were easier to define.

"So, you think we should invite him, my brother?"

"There's no doubt about it, my dearest sister."

A pair of slim, tall figures stood in the unfinished floor of the highest level of the building, staring at the lights of the city bellow them. The wind gently caressing the pale skins and platinum blonde hairs. Brother and sister stood proud in expecting silence, until one of the twins spoke.

"It will be interesting to have them to be our guest." Said the male.

"Yes, indeed it will be, my dearest brother." Replied the female, taking her brother's arm in an elegant, graceful move.

"We shall be prepared then."
