Chapter 27: The Dance

A/N: Before the chapter starts I want to thank frfusch21 for helping me write. And a special thank you to hglover152 for all your helpful suggestions.

Paige's POV-

I was at home since Mr. Fitz had fainted, after he had told me who A was. He was fine but I knew that he needed to rest so I just sneaked one of my Comm links in his pocket with a note that said that he should contact me (well Batgirl not me) and tell me who A is.

Its sucks, I was this close to find out who A is. I was getting more restless by the hour.

Spencer and Caleb had already gone home so I was all alone in my mansion.

Aria wanted to stay with Mr. Fitz and I can't say I blame her, she loved him too much to leave him now.

I wished Emily was here, but I didn't have the heart to bother her with my own problems.

Then I looked to the calendar it was only four days until the dance that I had asked Emily to go with me to.

The thought of me and Emily dancing together was like a dream.

I reached for a robe and started to dance with it pretending it was Emily, just four more days until I would dance with Emily.

The next morning

I woke up on the couch, I had danced with my robe and just let myself fall asleep without even knowing it. I got up from the couch and lifted my robe and gave it a small kiss.

"Thank you for last night." I said to the robe as I hanged it back on its hook.

As I walked to the kitchen my phone started to ring.

"Hello?" I said over the phone.

"Hi Paige its Hanna, did you just woke up?" I heard Hanna's voice over the phone.

"Umm, No" I lied over the phone

"Paige don't lie. Anyway I just got you some high heels get dressed and I'll come over." Hanna said.

Great, high heels I haven't walked in those ever "Hanna listen I..."

"Great put on your suit and I'll be right there" Hanna said and hanged up the phone.

Oh that's just great now I have to wear high heels, this can't possibly end well. I thought as I went upstairs to change into my suite.

A few minutes later Hanna arrived holding a pair of black high heels.

"Here try these on." She said and handed me the high heels.

I just put the shoes on and Hanna said "Walk around a little and see if they are the right size."

I took three wobbly steps then I fell on the floor. Hanna just stared at me. I got back up holding a table for balance.

"What the hell was that?" Hanna said confused as I still held on to the table.

"I'm not used to walk around in high heels." I said as I tried to take a few steps but lost my balance and fell to the floor again. This was embarrassing I was Batgirl for crying out loud, I had fought villains almost every night but I can take four steps in high heels.

"Well ok I'll teach you. Try to walk over here" Hanna said as I got back up and after a few steps I fell again, but this time Hanna caught me before I hit the floor.

"Ok you really need help" Hanna said as she helped me to my feet. "Ok Paige put your hand on my shoulder and well walk to the stairs." She said and I put my hand on her shoulder.

We took three steps and I started to lose my balance. "Walk slower." Hanna said so I did and then it got a bit easier to keep my balance. "Just focus on the stairs" Hanna said and we continued to walk until we had reached the stairs.

"That's great, you did it" Hanna said as we reached the stairs. Then she moved away out of my reach. "Ok now I'm right here just turn around and walk up to me." Hanna said.

I moved my right foot to turn around, but almost immediately I lost my balance and fell to the floor again. "This will be a long day." Hanna said and sighed.

Emily's POV-

The next night

I was at home with Hanna talking about how much we looked forward to the dance that was only a few days away.

"So tell me again how Paige asked you out" Hanna said, she was completely obsessed with that story.

"Hanna I just told you that story five times in a row." I said annoyed

"Fine, it's just Caleb didn't ask me out and when I asked him why he just said that he assumed that we were going together since we are a couple." Hanna told me fort that tenth time today.

"Oh and by the way, now I've finally taught your girlfriend to walk in high heels. You're welcome." Hanna said to me.

"What?" I said looking at Hanna confused.

"Never mind just be ready for the dance" Hanna said and then she picked up one of her fashion magazines.

Then she looked up and said "So Em, How did Paige ask you out now again?"

At school the day before the dance

I was at school where I saw something that made me very worried, I saw Aria and Mona talking to each other and judging from what had happened the last time they spent time together they would soon start fighting.

I was right, Mona did a high kick that just missed Aria's head, that's where I moved in.

"Mona back off or else!" I shouted, but then I realized what am I doing I don't know how to fight, damn after this I must ask Paige to teach me some self-defense moves.

"Don't worry Em." Aria said. "Mona and I have put our differences aside." She continued.

"But she just kicked towards your face." I said confused.

"Yeah, she was just showing me some of her martial art moves she has a black belt in karate." Aria said and Mona nodded.

"So you guys are ok with everything?" I asked and they both looked at each other and nodded.

"Well at first I was mad at her since I thought she was only dating Mike to piss me off, but a few nights ago Mike told me that that wasn't true so I apologized and now we're cool." Aria explained.

"Ok that's great I was worried that we'd have to watch you two twenty four seven." I said and then I left them to their talk.

I walked in the hallway until I found Paige, she was standing by her locker and she was putting some of her books into her locker. I walked up behind her and covered her eyes with my hands.

"Guess who" I said playfully.

"Emily." Paige said with a small laugh.

"Why are you so sure?" I said still covering her eyes.

"Because, I can recognize your voice." Paige said expecting me to remove my hands which I didn't.

"So? A ghost can mimic any voice it wants." I said as I still covered Paige's eyes.

Suddenly Paige turned around so she could see me, our faces were only inches apart. She smiled and gave me a quick peck on my lips.

"Well, I just kissed a sexy ghost." Paige said and then she put her right hand on my waist and took my left hand in her and we started to dance on the spot.

"Whoa, Em, Paigey save it for the dance." We heard Hanna say and Paige let go of me. Why Hanna? Why you always ruin a perfect moment?

I am not happy at Hanna now, I had to wait for the dance now. I really wish that I had a time machine right now because the time is killing me.

"I have to get to class now, see you later" Paige said and then she started to walk.

"Hanna was that necessary?" I said and shoved Hanna's shoulder.

"What I just made sure you and Paige wouldn't go all dirty dancing in the hallway." Hanna said.

"HANNA!" I yelled so it echoed in the entire hallway and I noticed everyone in the entire hallway watching me. I was so embarrassed so I blushed.

"Well Emily, good thing the dance is tonight." Hanna said.

"Good, I can't wait to dance with Paige tonight." I said

"Well, it sucks that Aria doesn't have a date tonight, I thought Mr. Fitz was going to chaperone the dance." Hanna said as she leaned towards a wall. "It will be fun to slow dance with Caleb on the floor." She said stuck in her dream world completely forgotten that our moms had volunteered to chaperone the dance. My mom had told me that she was driving me to the dance even though I had tried to protest but she was stubborn so I'm going to dance with Paige as my mom is watching, but I don't mind because at least I'll dance with Paige tonight.

Paige's POV-

That night at the dance floor

I was standing on the dance floor waiting for my girlfriend to arrive. I had heard Hanna telling me that when Emily enters I would drop my jaw on the floor.

Spencer and Toby had gotten here together and so had Hanna and Caleb, they were dancing to a fast song and Aria and Mona was dancing very silly but both of them didn't seem to care they just continued to dance really silly and it was really hard not to take up my cell phone and film them when the music speeded up.

"Ok now it's time to get this show starting." I heard a voice in the microphone as the song Run this show started playing and Aria and Mona started dancing like their pants were on fire.

Aria and Mona were dancing silly in perfect synchronization with each other. Everyone was staring at them but they didn't care they just kept dancing like crazy and I couldn't help but laugh at them messing around.

Once there dance was over they both took a bow and walked off the dance floor.

I was standing by the dance floor watching all the other couples dancing together and I could think of was that missed Emily.

"Hey did you save me a dance?" I heard a voice behind me.

I turned around and saw my dream girl. Emily was standing right in front of me, she was wearing a purple dress a little above the knee with a matching purple cardigan and black high heels, she was just gorgeous.

"Well are you just going to stand there or are we going to dance?" Emily said and extended her hand, I took it and we both moved to the dance floor. We stood right in front of each other, I had my right hand on her waist and I held her other hand in mine.

I pulled her close to me closing any distance between us as we moved around together and she put her right hand on my shoulder, we were shutting out anything else. She rested her head on my shoulder and I lead her to the slow music.

We danced for hours forgetting everything all we saw were each other as we continued to dance close to each other not noticing how fast the time flew by, I wanted this moment to last forever.

"Emily it's time to go home now." I heard Emily's mom say and I looked at my watch, it had been three hours and we hadn't noticed anything.

"Thank you for tonight." I said and kissed Emily softly on her lips.

She went to Pam who was smiling at me, obviously she didn't mind me being together with her daughter.

As she walked out with her mom I couldn't take my eyes of her, I loved her so much I hated it when she left.

A few days later:

I was at school, it had been two days since the dance and I had just gotten out of class.

Suddenly my cell phone started to ring, I looked at my phone and saw that it was Mr. Fitz trying to contact Batgirl from the Comm link that I had given him. I ran into the girls bathroom to answer it.

"Batgirl this is Ezra Fitz, I need to talk to you." I heard Mr. Fitz over the phone.

"Ok tonight I'll..."

"No I have to talk to you right now, A is on to me." Mr. Fitz said over his Comm link.

"Ok tell me who A is and I'll come and save you." I said in my phone.

"No, I'll tell you that when I see you." Mr. Fitz said over his Comm link.

This was bad, Batgirl only works during the nights but I had no choice.

"Ok where are you?" I said.

"I'm outside Rosewood high by the parking lot." I heard Mr. Fitz over the Comm link.

"Ok I'll get there in a few minutes." I said as I realized that I couldn't go there as Batgirl since I didn't have a suit to change into. So I had to tell Mr. Fitz my secret.

I go out and walked of the bathroom where I saw Spencer and Caleb. I walked up to them to tell them what Mr. Fitz had said to me.

"We are forced to tell him, that's the only choice we got" Caleb said.

"Yeah, and he knows who A is so what else can we do?" Spencer agreed.

"So it's settled we all go to Mr. Fitz and tell him our secret" I said and both Caleb and Spencer nodded.

All Three of us was standing outside the school and that's where we saw Mr. Fitz standing by the side walk. "Well here goes nothing" I said and as we moved towards Mr. Fitz, nervous that he wouldn't believe that I was Batgirl.

Suddenly this black car appeared from nowhere and before anyone had time to react, the car drove up on the sidewalk towards Mr. Fitz. He was like a deer in headlights and gets hit by the fast moving car, he rolled over the roof and landed on the ground. It must have been one of A's henchmen that ran him over to make sure He didn't spread the word. Unfortunately no one of us saw the driver since everything happened so fast.

We all ran up to him it was bad, he was still breathing but he was unconscious and he probably had some internal bleedings.

"CALL AN AMBULANCE!" I yelled as students started to gather around Mr. Fitz.

We had to get Mr. Fitz to a hospital fast he was the only one who knows who A was. He couldn't die if I knew who A was I would be able to stop him or her, was all I thought as the paramedics lifted Mr. Fitz on a stretcher and lifted him into the ambulance.
