Raine accepted his hand and let him guide her to the dance floor. In there, Shamrok kissed her gently in front of everyone... She was surprised, but kissed him back a little, loving the moment, loving his lips on hers, his hand holding her close. "I love you too..." she whispered, having forgotten completely about everyone else. Right now, the only one occupying her mind was him.

Then dance started, and she recalled how he disliked to dance, back when she had attended Kirin's coronation. He would dance just for her, to make her happy, but now he was such a good dancer and did it so happily... he had once said he liked more things thanks to her.... that made her feel great...

She continued dancing, looking straight into his beautiful blue eyes, sinking into them. She could die right there as her heart beat furiously, pounding against her ribcage. It was all too perfect; his being by her side was enough.

As The first waltz finished. Poseidon entered crossed the room with firm step as students moved back out of the scare of the phantom.

He had a single rose on his hand one that glittered both blue and purple




"Can I have Next Dance, Lady Freyja?... " he smirked and walked towarda the girl and her partner "If You dance with me... I will give you this...
Your Present For Becoming a Princess.
Who would ever say. That you would one day become such a beautiful Woman...
Then Again... Should we thank her prince for That? - he looked at shamrok defiyinly as he turned Bacl to Freyja - Then again you can reject my invitation... After all this time we did only come on peace...
How Ever I would be thrilled if you accepedt my present.
It wasn't easy to get.... Yet... For you my princess.... - he walked around the couple - Nothing is too much... Now... - he extended his hand towards Freyja - Will You?...Just for This night?"

Raine smiled at Yoko: "Sure!" she told her cheerfully.

Yoko seemed to sparkle with happiness.She hugged Raine tight and gave her a kiss on the cheek."Yay~!"
She rumaged in her bag. She pressed two rings into Raine´s hand."Here.The blue one is for you,the purple one for Shamrok....I wanted to give those to you at your wedding but now is a good time too I think"


"It´s just a small present for you and your groom"

She had realized that Raine wanted to dance with Shamrok and did just leave Raine without saying anything. She walked into the crowed and disappeared.

"Awesome," she whispers as she heard who's the Lilac Rose. She could see Raine's face of happiness. All she could do for now is wish for her happiness and hard work. Not to mention that she has to work hard too for her new job, though, and as everyone seems to be around her, she only could smile from afar, watching her, not forgetting about a little awkward situation caused by the appearance of the phantoms, but hey, it's a night for the fun, right?

Raine finished the dreamy first waltz with Shamrok, and stared at him tenderly, stroking his cheek with a soft smile on her lips. However, there was some kind of change in the overall mood of the ball, and Raine turned to see what had caught the people's attention. A boy walked with firm steps, with a long light blue mane and a mask that hid his eyes.

She knew that boy too well. It was Poseidon.

He carried a beautiful blue and purple rose in his hand, and he was asking to dance with her. Even though the rose was breathtaking, she held not interest in it... As far as she knew, Poseidon was her enemy, and he wanted to destroy everyone's happiness. But her relationship with the Olympian was something only Shamrok knew about.

The Phantoms had made an apparently peaceful appearance. Poseidon himself was talking smoothly and pleasantly, and was being extremely polite, to a degree. If she rejected him, it would look like a terrible action from the new Rose, to reject someone that meant no harm to her, or at least so he wanted everyone to think. But also, she knew about how her actions would hurt Shamrok... She was trapped.

"...Fine," Raine said with a low voice, trying not to appear cheerful or disdainful, and took his hand. Her heart was hurting so much. She hoped Shamrok could forgive her for what she would do.

The waltz started as the girl took his hand.
He started to lead her softly dancing gently as he took her to the center of the room as they continued to dance.

"You look beautiful tonight princess...
Dazzling and Shining. Just as You wanted...
It's clearly now....- he touched her cheek gently - That your heart is not rotting anymore - he smirked - I don't know really if I like you more now or back when you were breaking. Maybe I like you more now since if you break at your brightest dazzle you'll be the most beautiful of them all - he took Freyja's Hand Again - But Surely... Tonight is not a Night for that. Tonight you must shine brighter than the stars don't you?

That's why I brought you one more present my Dear Lady Freyja ...
I offer You This...As a present for your transformation...

- he said smoothly as he continued dancing with the girl as he got closer to the girl's ear to whisper softly and tempting -

I'll Make You a Hero... I'll Give you my mask and My identity...
I'll show you Phantom Mask Identity right now... Everyone is here...
Everyone could be trapped by you right now...
I'll tell you everything...

How ever... There's a Price...
-he twirled the girl and hugged her from behind as he whispered to her again-
The Only Thing You need to give me in return it's a Kiss in front of everyone...
In Front of Your boyfriend... a "true love Kiss" Not That You actually feel it but show it...

If You do... Laurence Plan will be over...

Phantom Mask will be out of the way...

And You my Dear Princess...
-he twirled her back to him again -

.... You'll Get the power of The Emperor...
You won't have to be forgotten... No... Beyond That. You'll have everything you ever wanted with out any cost......

Just a Kiss... A pretended True love Kiss and You can have eternity in exchange.... *he put the glittering Rose in Freyja's Hair* You can choose... And Change everything... for ever - he bowed as he raised back his face to her and smirked - It's a limited time offer...Milady...so choose. "

Shamrok looked at them... dancing. The guy over there wasn't him... he really wanted to stop that jealousy inside his heart.

i trust in her...i know she loves me

His chest was about to explode.



He knew that was the guy who stole a kiss from her before. He knew that guy wanted to break her. And also he knew that he wasn't able to protect her from him. She wanted to beat him by herself, and in the end, he wasn't strong enough.

I don't mind.... I can die if I can protect her.... I don't mind being weak



....I'm her prince....

Poseidon guided her to the center of the ballroom and danced with her. She blushed slightly at his flattering, though she frowned too, remembering why did he "like" her so much... He just wanted to hurt her and her fiancée... his intentions were far from pure.

He drew her closer to him and started to whisper something he'd give to her. His identity... Phantom Mask's identity... they would belong to her. But as he twirled her and hugged her from behind, she confirmed that, as always, he wouldn't do anything without a reward.

This time, the payment was a kiss of "True Love" in front of everyone, students, teachers, the Roses, her own Groom. Raine felt hate accumulate inside her. He expected her to hurt her King to get the Power of the Emperor? He expected her to pretend she wanted the kiss, that she could feel anything close to passion towards him? She felt like a doll in a shelf... and she was going to be bought.

Raine kept the stone face until the dance finished and he bowed. She stood silently before him, her eyes a pair of blue flames, gleaming with hatred.

"No," was her answer. "If I'm going to get what I want... I'll get it with my own hands... instead of selling myself to you..."

He smiled as he heard the girl's Answer

"Is That so? I was truly hoping to hear that my Lady Freyja - he smirked - Then Shine Bright... Shine as not any other star has shined - he took the girls hand and kissed it - So then When you break The glitter disperse away...."

Poseidon let the hand of the girl go

" You've truly made me happy with your decision... Having the world's end just like this would take all the spice away... - he Walked to her staying face to face to her - Because when the future is present you will wish you have changed the past... and regret my dear princess... Is The heaviest feeling of them all - he smiled to her - I want to see that my princess... I truly want to see it *gets his lips close hers* When you break like a glass of champagne *kisses her cheek* Good bye Princess... Enjoy your Party... "

He bowed once again to the girl to then smirk her a last time as he walked away

"Tick Tack Tic Tack ~ The World is Ticking ~"

Raine watched him smile... apparantly he was pleased at her answer... and his happiness was something that could only bring terrible things. He said she'd regret her decision... he said she'd shatter like glass... as his lips got closer to her again. She flinched slightly, but he motioned and kissed her cheek, walking away afterwards. She stood frozen for a long time, her mind quickly becoming a complete mess... Suddenly, she ran to her safe place, to Shamrok, and hugged him tightly, as if she coud bind him to her body forever. She hid her face on his chest, unable to say a word. She battled against her tears, trying to find comfort in his strong arms.

Raine ran to his arms and hugged him with all her strength, hiding her face inside his chest. He could feel her cheeks burning his clothes. He placed his arms around her, pressing her softly against him. He couldn't hear what happened between them, but knew that it was the reason of that change on her mood. He wanted to ask, to help... to support her with more than a hug.

S: ra......

And he stopped. If it was something important, she could tell him later, he could wait like that for a while, instead making her worry.

His hand was caressing her hair now, trying to comfort her like saying "I'm here, don't worry... I'm here for you"

Raine felt his hand stroking her hair gently, and she finally let small tears roll down her cheeks. She pulled apart a little, staring at him with a desperate look on her eyes. She needed him so much, she needed to be alone with him for a small while, to hug him, to touch him... Her eyes seemed to say "I wanna be out of here for a while..." A small time alone was all she needed. Just some minutes behind the courtain with him, a small time alone to cry as much as she needed...

He looked at her face, some tears were on her cheeks and she blushed in a way that wasn't the one that he loved. He placed his hands on her cheeks and kissed her soflty.

S: *whisper* let's get out of this room...

He took her to the door, trying to avoid everyone, he wanted to protect her.

S: *walking* wanna talk about it?...

Yoko watched the whole scene.That Poseidon was suspicious.Something was wrong there but she didn´t interfere, because now Shamrok would be the only one who could help Raine.
Now she tried to more aware of what the phantoms did around her.Maybe this party wouldn´t be as peaceful as she had expected it.

Shamrok put his hands on her cheeks and kissed her gently. Then, he guided her towards the door to be alone for a small while. Once they were out, Raine pulled Shamrok behind a courtain and kissed him fiercely, hugging him tightly, and hid her face on his chest, her whole body shaking. She had been asked to do the worse thing she could do... to hurt the one she loved the most.
