This fanfiction is in response to a KAEX Challenge: What Happens in Dradin, Stays in Dradin – I know that the challenge said something about the "team" but mine isn't the team, but hey, it does have Nanny and isn't that even more fun than the team? This challenge was out before I joined, so I'll use that as my excuse. ; - D

Rating/Setting: Rating is T. Setting is DotU but Dradin… I know, they don't really go together, but give it a try…

"Everything I Do" belongs to Bryan Adams, not me. Just think about it as you read the end of the chapter…

Chapter Four

Allura came out of the theater bouncing with excitement. "THAT was INCREDIBLE! Oh, Keith! The music, the phantom, Christine… oh, oh, oh! The chandelier!..."

Keith smiled at the comments as they just kept coming. He had known that she would love the musical and seeing her face as the story progressed had been wonderful. "You had better slow down or you won't have any energy left to dance tonight."

"Oh, don't you worry, I'll have plenty of energy!" Nothing would stop her from dancing with Keith.

Nothing but Nanny.

When they arrived back at the penthouse in the late afternoon, Nanny was up and fussing over the princess. "Where have you two been? What are you wearing? Where did those clothes come from?"

Allura pulled Nanny back into her room and worked to satisfy her many questions. After thirty minutes, the princess finally emerged, leaning heavily against the door after she closed it.

Keith had to joke, "It appears that the hurricane is back to full strength."

Rolling her eyes, she said, "Let's hope the hurricane has blown over when it's time for us to leave for the club."

"Speaking of that, it's time for us to get dressed." Keith started smiling as he knew the dress choices he had picked out for her and he loved all of them. He noticed that she was frowning. "What's up with the frown?"

Looking him over, she put her hands on her hips. "I was just thinking it could take me an hour to get ready. It'll take you… What? Five minutes? You'll change your shirt and comb your hair and be done right?"

Winking at her, he said, "You forgot that I'll be brushing my teeth." With that, he got up and went to his room. Before he shut his door, he looked out to see her still standing with her with hands on her hips. "I like the purple one."

As his door closed, a grin spread across her face. The purple one. It was her favorite as well. With that she went to get ready.

She was actually ready in just forty minutes. It had taken a good ten minutes to brush out all the tangles in her hair that the wind had caused. But as she had brushed and pulled at the tangles, she knew that embrace was worth every single knot. She smoothed the dress down and looked at herself in the full-length mirror. The dress was a shimmering purple that sometimes looked black or silver depending on the light and the angle. The dress came across one shoulder with an angled seam with some gathers on her torso. It was fitted, but wasn't skin tight and the hem stopped at mid-thigh. Keith had even gotten her some really nice purple heeled sandals that had one broad strap across the toe and another band that buckled around her ankle. Her legs had never looked longer. She had pulled her hair back from her face with a few jeweled pins, but left the rest loose. Taking a breath, she picked up the matching clutch. (Who would have thought Keith would think of a clutch? Probably the saleswoman.)

Keith looked up from the water he was pouring when she came out of her room. He let out a mild curse as he poured water on his hand. Seeing her in that dress had definitely distracted him.

Watching him mop up the water, she knew that the dress was perfect. She took this time to look him over while he was busy. He had changed into a dark wash pair of jeans and a soft gray shirt that was cut slightly different than a regular tee shirt. She thought he looked wonderful. Walking over to him, she said, "Are you ready?"

His eyes lingered on her legs as he replied, "More than ready."

It was at that moment that Nanny's door opened and she came out unsteadily. "Did I hear cursing out here? What's going - Allura! What are you wearing?" Nanny picked up speed as she came over to the pair. Glaring at Keith, she said, "Avert your eyes young man! You shouldn't be ogling the Crown Princess of Arus like that! And you, young lady! That outfit is shocking!"

Glancing down at the dress, she said, "Nanny, you won't believe it, but it's actually pretty mild compared to-"

Putting a finger in the princess' face Nanny broke in, "I'm not comparing it to anything else! What would your future husband say if he saw you gallivanting around in that?!"

Unable to stop herself, Allura looked at Keith with a question in her eyes. Her heart almost stopped when he answered her unspoken question.

"I'm sure he'd say that she was a beautiful vision straight from his dreams." His voice was soft and his gaze intense.

Nanny's eyes narrowed at the unsubtle innuendo between the two. She would have to have a talk with Coran when she returned to Arus. She was getting ready to launch into another lecture when she grabbed her stomach and headed back to her room.

Allura called after her, "We won't be out too late Nanny, I promise!"

As they entered the elevator, Keith keyed his com unit and contacted the Empire's medical facility. "This is Commander Kogane from the penthouse suite. Could someone kindly go to the suite and check on the three patients. I'm afraid there may still be some stomach issues. Perhaps a mild sedative might help."

Failing miserably at stifling a giggle, Allura punched Keith in the arm. "Keith! A sedative? Really?"

Reaching out to take her hand, he softly asked, "Do you really want Nanny to be waiting for us when we come back from our date."

Her eyes widened at his words. A date. This was more than she could have hoped for. At the most, she had thought they would have a good time, but he would still consider it part of his duty. But after the events of the day, things between them had changed. "No, I don't want her waiting up for us after our date."

Dinner at the nightclub went by in a blur. When they finished eating, they went out on the dance floor where Keith showed her how to dance to the fast paced rock songs. Out of breath after dancing almost non-stop for thirty minutes, they took a break to get something to drink. Allura laughingly said, "Is this how all the nightclubs are on earth?" Seeing his nod, she added, "You must think our royal balls are rather tame by comparison."

Sitting down his drink, he said, "I actually enjoy both styles of dancing. I am glad to see that you do as well. But you know, not all songs at nightclubs are fast." With that he looked past her to the DJ that was playing the music, and gave a nod. The DJ stretched out his arm pointing to a nearby door.

Looking over her shoulder at the DJ, she looked back at Keith. "What's going on?"

Smiling he said, "You'll see, come on." Taking her hand he led her to a door that opened into a rather large room that looked like it was used for small celebration events.

Looking around the room, Allura thought that someone was using it tonight. There were a number of lit candles and flower arrangements on tables set around the room. They probably shouldn't be in here. "Keith, I think someone is using this room, we should go." She pulled his hand but he stood fast.

"Someone is using this room. Me."

"What are you talking about?"

At that moment, the lights dimmed to just above candlelight. The shadows played across Keith's face as music started playing and he led her into the middle of the room. Pulling her into a close embrace, he said, "This is an old Earth song that I picked out just for us."

Her heart was beating wildly as the music started…

It was the song, "Everything I Do, I Do it for You."

She was lost in his eyes as he asked, "I think that songs sometime work best. Listen to these words for me Allura."

All she could do was nod as they moved in slow circles listening to the song.

The remaining verse was playing as he asked, "What do you think about the song Allura?"

Looking into the black depths of his eyes she ran the lyrics through her mind and saw the truth in all of its words. "I love the song. But now I have a question for you." They had come to a complete stop with her arms around his neck and his around her waist. "Do you want this?'" Her voice was low and husky, "Tell me Keith, is this what you want? Do you want us to be together?"

Looking her directly in the eyes, he answered her, "Yes, it's what I want. There's only one woman that I've ever loved, and it's you Allura." Leaning down he brought his lips to hers. There was no hesitation for either of them. The day had been leading to this moment and they both released the long suppressed passion they felt for each other. When the passion ebbed slightly and they were catching their breath, she thought about what was before them. The question for her wasn't what Coran or Nanny would think; it was the slogan for Dradin. Looking at Keith she said, "You know the slogan for Dradin don't you?"

He grinned at her, "Of course I do: 'What happens in Dradin, stays in Dradin.' Are you worried that what's happened between us will stay here?"

"Do you want it to?"

Keith smiled as he replied, "No. I plan on continuing this back on Arus." Seeing her smile, he added, "Breaking the long-held motto and commandment of a party planet is nothing compared to a mere pilot daring to kiss and love a princess."

Threading her fingers in his hair, she whispered, "It makes me happy when you break those particular rules."

"Then Princess, let me make you a little happier." With that, he continued his rule-breaking ways by leaning down to kiss his princess again.
