I touched the doorknob to my room and twisted it around. I quickly saw my ball gown lying on my bed
A greenish gown with some glitters on it. On the top of it, it has a flower crown and a dark green doll shoes
Standing next to my bed is Solar and Dark, already holding that paint-brush like material. I forgot what it's called. Should i care about it?!
They're already wearing their tuxes on. Solar is wearing a yellow one and Dark is wearing a dark violet tux
I turned my head on them and said, "I don't wanna put those to my face!" I said as i held my ball gown and looked myself into the mirror.
"T-this is shameless"i stated and signed. Ok Rra, just one night. And this is all over! I will never ever wear dresses ever again
"It's beautiful right" Solar said and held the other sleeve of my gown
"Green really looked good on you" Dark said and also held the bottom part of my gown. "Go and sit here, we're getting started to put make up on you" he added
They're really sweet when it comes to me and Thorn. I'm so touched
So i let them put some make up on my face when i realized they're doing this for us. But i warned them just put some light make up
After minutes of closing my eyes, smiling, and painting something on my face, i looked at my reflection.
They put some light green thing color on my eyes, a light pink blush on, and a light red lipstick. They also fixed my hair in a curly roller coaster in every bottom of it.
What just happened to my face
"You looked beautiful!" Solar said as Dark agreed
"What did i had become?!" I stated as the two siblings laughed.
"It's almost for the ball, go fix yourself and get dressed. We'll wait for you" Dark said so i picked up this ball gown and proceded at the bathroom
While i'm fixing myself and wearing the gown to the bathroom. I looked myself to the mirror. And froze, i never seen myself wore these kind of clothes before. It's too embarrassing to go outside
So i shouted. "You guys go without me"
As they replied. "We'll wait or you downstairs"
I just remembered that Thorn, Solar, And Dark is only there because the siblings had to pick up their partners
I successfully wore this long ball gown. And i thought that it suits my make up, Solar and Dark did a great job
I glanced to the desk where my other materials is. I get the gloves first. It's white with a floral design at the edge of it
Secondly, I get the shoes and wore them on.
And finally, the flower crown. My hands were shaking when i'm wearing it. Too nervous if something might happen to my hair.
But in the end, i wore it properly.
Let's just hope that i won't step into my own gown alright?
I went outside my room which is if you went outside is you can quickly see the stairs waiting for you.
"I'm ready" i said shyly. The boys had a glare on me. I blushed furiously because the way they look at me is like seeing some ghost or something
I watched my step when i was taking the steps of the stairway
Thorn bowed at me when i'm already at the first floor, and he offered my hand into his. So i kindly accept as he held my hand
----
We just arrived at the venue, Thorn however is still holding my hand. As much as i blushed when a lot of people look at us when we passed by, i'll just ride with his car.
I shivered when i saw the place
It's really red. A carpet at the door for the entrance of the people. There was a table at every corner and edges of the room and there was a circle at the center of the room, which is i think that's where we should dance. When you look up, you won't be seeing any roof despite the sky. The sky this time was supposed to be black but it's turning into the shade of red
"It's really red Thorn!!!" I excitedly said to Thorn a i jumped in excitement. But while i'm jumping, i accident-ly stepped at my gown. So the result was... I was about to fall
"AHH!" i shouted. But the volume was enough for him to hear
Luckily, Thorn got me on time. Now he's arms are now on my waist, making me bend a little. "Be careful" He signed as i nodded and blush
Every person that can see us giggles at us. I blushed really hard as i forced myself to stood up on my own. That was awkward
"L-let's go meet up with the others" I stated as i walked where the table of the siblings are while holding my gown to prevent me from stepping on it. Why didn't think of this before -.-
The two of us met with his siblings. They decided to introduce the girls to them so they can get to know each other. The siblings introduced them to us and it's time for Thorn to introduced me. I don't wanna!
Their partners suits them because the gown they're wearing is the boy's image color. When we met them, i had a faster beat in my heart. I felt left out so that's why i don't wanna! I think they'll just make fun of me or something worse
I leaned at Thorn and whispered "You don't need to intro---" But i was too late when he already introducing me to them. "This is my girl, you can call her Rra." he said while his arm is reaching my shoulders
No need to do that!
I signed at him and said. "Hello everyone"
"Did you guys already eat?" Solar's partner asked. I already forgot their names
"Not yet." The other girl which is Cyclone's partner answered. "Then shall we eat to our own tables?" Tiffany said as we all nodded
Thorn and i exchanged glances. I didn't know what's the meaning of that so i asked "What?"
"I don't know. You just looked beautiful that's all"
"Thorn!!" I yelled as my face turning into the shade of red.
"You're face is getting red" He giggled and looked up. "Just like the sky tonight" he added and smiled
I mirrored him as i smiled at the sky, i can't believe that this is happening. Thorn and i shall bond each other. What a crazy thing to do
Speaking of Bond, there was a boy who clapped at the center to get everyone's attention.
Maybe it's time to dance. Oh my gosh it's so frustating!
"Rintis High presents, The Red Sky Ball!" He said as everyone clapped
"The Red Moon will choose two lucky souls, bond them together in enternity." Come on you don't need to explain that to us, we already knew about that
On second thought, the people in here are whispering and babbling about it. So they didn't knew that? -.-
Shameless
"Everyone may start dancing"
I stepped back without any reason. My head is sweating like crazy. My hands are shivering. There was a feeling that you can't explain
"You're nervous?" He asked as i nodded and took another step back "Youre nervous" he repeated in a right fact
I was shocked when someone held my hand and gripped it. "I'm here, you'll not dance with anybody but me" Thorn said as he rested his forehead to mine
I blushed again as i suddenly hugged him. I don't know, it just came up to my mind that i should hug him
"Thanks for being here with me Thorn" i said as i tighten the hug. He replied by hugging me back
It lasted five seconds as he whispered. "You really looked good in green" Thorn said. Yeah, i think i do
"Let's go." He added as he did the thing what before waltz shall do. "Can i have this dance?" He asked like he was asking for my hand
I gladly held him his hand and the other is in his shoulder. And his free hand slid in my waist which i felt these sparks and electric shocks on my body
As we started doing the waltz
I was kinda nervous, wondering if i'll step on my own gown just like earlier. The people here could see me and that is embarrassing just imagining it
We were silent while taking some turns and steps. I was just busy looking down to make sure that i won't make any mistake as much as possible
He might noticed it so he removed his hands on my waist and forced my chin to look at him
"Don't look down. Your face is too beautiful to hide" he said and smiled.
I just focused on him while dancing as take some few steps. I just noticed that we're not doing this because of the bonding thing
"Thorn" I spoke up. He looked at me directly into my deep green eyes but i continued. "I don't think that we need this bonding thing anymore" As i said that he raised and eyebrow
"I think that even if we're not too much bonded. What is important to me is you love me and i by you're side"
It took time for him to sink in from what i've said but few seconds, he answered "Me too"
"Hey" Thorn called so i looked again to him. "Look at Thunderstorm, he might refused to dance" i hlanced at Thunderstorm who is arms folded and resting his back to the wall, Tiffany is beside him which is doing the same. As we both giggled
Speaking of dance
As we continue and repeating the waltz, i noticed that the moon wasn't chosen someone yet. So i got an idea that the whole thing was a complete lie
Until
All the lights we're dimmed. And the light that is only shining was a red colored light coming from the red sky
The Moon has chosen!
All of the people here looked everywhere to find them. As someone found it, all of us circled them and Thorn and i can't even see them
Thorn held my hand and go through the crowd. Maybe too curious who it is, so i smirked
As we finally got into the huge crowd. I gasped and shocked in horror when i saw who they are
"T-Thunderstorm!?" Thorn murtured
"She's gotta be Tiffany right?" I said, still had my eyes widened from what am i seeing right now
"I'm not that girl" Tiffany said who just got beside us
"Who might the girl be?" Was the question being asked through the crowd. We can't identify who is he dancing because the girl is wearing a mask
As for the waltz, they finally turned to our side and dance there. Thorn and i suspiciously look to the girl
"Maybe we don't know her" Thorn stated as we gave up knowing who she was. I took another glance at her as i saw her eyes. It's deep in love of purple.
And Thorn pulled me out of the circle.
But wait.
"Thorn let me see her for a second" I said. As he nodded and asked. "Do you have an idea who is she?" He asked furiously
"I k-kinda do" i said as i tighten the grip of my hands. "Look at her eyes, look the way he look at Thunderstorm.. was just like...." I thought out loud and paused to think
It's just really familiar
The way her gown designed was just like the way she makes her own clothes. And obviously the way she looked at Thunderstorm is really something that she's the one who can look that way to him
..
..
..
..
..
..
..
..
Oh no!
"STAR!!" I yelled and called her.
"STAR GALAXY!" I called her again
Finally, she kinda heard us and they stopped dancing. But until they stopped, the red light was dimming down. Which is we all know that it's over
"STAR GALAXY!" I repeated. "It's you right?!" I asked
"Crap" She whispered yet we heard her.
As she let go of Thunderstorm's hands and run for it. But i won't let her go
"COME BACK HERE YOU!!!" I said in anger as i held my gown and run where she is
Even though the people here is whispering about it, i refused to be shy and run for it
"WHY DID YOU CAME BACK!?" I yelled while running as fast as i can. Until she was running slower because of being tired, i took it as an advantage and faced her
"YOU TOLD US THAT YOU'LL NEVER COME BACK DID YOU?!" I yelled and had a grip on her shoulders
"What a brave girl to show up to us! Even braver to dance Thunderstorm even if you left him alone! There is no forgiveness in that scene Star!" I said and tighten the grip of her shoulders
Now i could tell that she is really her. She still have that lightning badge on her face
"How dare you to leave us. Do you think that after you go here everything will be okey---"
I didn't even finished my sentence when she slapped me. I stood there in silence while holding and feeling my red cheek because of that slap.
"You don't know anything" she stated and run again. I was going to go chase her but she disappeard

Home- kitchen
12:31 AM
"Hey Thorn" i called while resting my head on the table. "Is everything alright to Thunderstorm?" I asked
He paused for a second and signed. "I don't know"
"But hey, i think Cyclone is doing his best to cheer him up. He came rushing to his room after all" Earthquake said and patted my back
"I wish everything would go back to normal" Blaze said as we all nodded
There was a pause until someone talked. "I wonder if Cyclone is alright there. I'm kinda worried because i know Thunderstorm is not in the mood today"Ice said
Yeah, i wonder if what's the thing that i do not know about Star
"Don't worry!! Cyclone is his favorite among us" Dark smiled
"But let's stop worrying about them and go to bed, but no one will ever mention about tonigh tomorrow okey?" Earthquake said as we all nodded and seperate ways to go to our own rooms
Once i reached mine, i quickly jumped on my bed as my face touched the pillow. "What just happened" I thought out loud as i took a deep a long sign. "What else is the thing that i don't know about you"
Let's just sleep and forget everything about it
----
1:01 AM
But the sad thing is i can't fall asleep. It's been thirty minutes since i started rolling to my bed. I did everything but i won't really feel sleepy
The thing is making me awake is worrieng about Thunderstorm. I really hope that he's alright
---
2:30 AM
THAT'S IT! I give up! I really don't have the guts to sleep.
I raised from my bed and went to the garden as i held a book. A notebook perhaps. I never mentioned this ever in this book before
But i'll never tell what's that. Let's just say that i'm writting the skit of my whole day here
I sat in the tree where i always sit when it's saturday when i'm bored. I smiled when i saw a lot of starts tonight. The moon is full tonight. The red sky is already fading
I looked down to my note book and started writting
Until i realized that i'm almost out of paper. Then i should go buy a new one later
I hid it behind me and stared blanky on the fading red sky. The red sky reminds me of Thunderstorm. Hopes already fading.
Wow, well that's deep! I don't even know what is he feeling that time. Happy? Frustated? Confused? Angry? No one knows because he's good at hiding it
I wanted to go at Cyclone's room just to know what did they talked about. But i'm making the things go awkward
There was a wind played through my hair. So i shivered because of feeling cold. Now it became colder and colder as the time pass by
I signed and thought out loud. "How are you feeling right now?" As i ran my hands through my black and green hair as signed again in frustation. Why can't you get out of my mind and let me sleep in peace
"Who are you talkin to?" I almost jumped in horror when someone talked from behind
"Will you stop doing that" i said as he sat beside me. His black and red hoodie touched my arms since i'm wearing a sleeveless shirt. It's comfy, it's making me feel sleepy
I can't help it when my head suddenly fell to his shoulders. But that's more comfy than my soft and bouncy bed. I should've done this before. "Your hoodie is so soft" i stated while not minding the awkward silence and my blushing cheeks
"Having a trouble falling asleep?" He asked as his deep red eyes looked at my deep green eyes. "yeah" i answered
There was a silence. I even felt his head rested to mine. I blushed really hard, but i didn't mind it because i can feel that sleepy feeling
It makes me feeling that his shoulder is 999 percent softer than my beds. I closed my eyes to feel his soft and comfy hoodie
Which reminds me. "How are you feeling Thunderstorm?" I asked. Finally! I've wanted to ask him that question!
"I'm fine" Thunderstorm stated
It's good to know that he's fine. "That's great"
Another silence until he changed the topic
"The sky is really red" he added
"Yeah, it is. Unbelievable right?" I agreed. "Speaking of red. How are you feeling when she danced you? Is she really that Star we knew?" I asked as he nodded
I hugged myself but still reasting my head on Thunderstorm's shoulder because just like i said. It's getting colder every second
"At first, my mind was completely blank when i saw her. I already knew that it was her because i can see it in her eyes. Once she held my hand, i froze when a red light shined to us. I said to myself that don't feel angry because maybe she really travelled far from her home to earth just to go there. I must cheerish this moment. Is always the line that i reapeting in my mind. Now, I should tresure that memory"
"I'm so sorry about Star" is the only thing that i said. I didn't know what are the best words to say
I felt that he moved his head to the side and kissed my forehead, my hearth is racing inside me as i blushed furiously. "Thank you for trying to cheer me up" he said as his body followed his head gave me a warm hug.
My head is resting to his chest as i hugged him back.now even my body can feel his comfy hoodie
As another wind passed by i completly shivered because it was really cold.
Thunderstorm must felt that shiver so he asked "Are you cold?" So i nodded
He returned to his normal position so i rested my head once again to his shoulders
"Wait a second" he said so i raised my head a little. He unwear his hoodie and and put it on me. Leaving his arms on my shoulder and rested my head once again on his t'shirt sleeve
"You're hoodie is really comfy" I said and yawned, now i'm finally feeling sleepy
I closed my eyes as i felt his head moved and kissed my forehead once more. "Thank you for everything" he, once again thanked me
I search for his hand from behind, not moving any muscle except for my hand. I succesfully held his hand and raised it. I can clearly see him blush as i faced him. "What are friends are for?" I said and smiled
A few minutes passed by as i said that to him. I just noticed that i never let go of his hand. I never looked away even when he's still facing him. I do not know the reason why but i caught myself looking to his eyes. My favorite part of him.
As he smiled. "I'm still in friendzone am i?" He said and rested his forehead to mine, just like how Thorn done it earlier. He put his free hand to my neck making his hoodie slid in my neck closer
As he done that, i felt sleepy because how comfortable it is our position. As my eyes blurry so my sight can see Thorn. So, i'm talking to Thorn all along. I'm sorry Thorn for the thought of youre Thundy. I guess i just wanted to cheer Thundy up so badly
So i answered his question earlier. "Friendzone? What are you talking about? I love you ya know?"
He leaned closer to my face as i felt his lips smacked into mine. It's warm,i hope this won't stop. I love this kind of feeling. After some few seconds of smacking, i deepen the kiss and he responded
I felt his lips were some kind of different today. Maybe he's also cold since it's really cold
I stopped when i needed some air so we both retirned to our normal position. My eyes are still blurry, maybe i was about to sleep because i can feel my eyes heavy and closing
As i can't feel or even move my body anymore. But even when im sleeping, i can feel his shoulders and comfy hoodie

Author's note
Trust me, i tried making Thorn comforting Rra because of her lumpy mind. But it's going to have a twist if Rra is the one who is comforting Thundy
