"Good plan" Cairo said. They progressed into town, trying to find a place to to change. His eyes darted back and forth across the town, building to building as their footsteps began sounding as they strode across the concrete sidewalk. "Should we just get changed there?" Cairo inquired, generally, looking to his friends.

"Sure, I see no reason not to." Jessica replied, along with nods from Alison and Chad. They neared the building, and a poster on the door revealed it was the location for the Cosplayer Ball. "Oh, that's great!" Alison said, seeing the poster. "So, I guess we should just change here, and stay here." Jessica said. The group went in, and the building held a little more people than expected. There were several waiters and waitresses, and a few other early-comers. Chad and Cairo went into the men's changing area, while Alison and Jessica went into the women's. About 5 minutes later, Cairo and Chad emerged in Pok?mon outfits, Cairo as a Marowak and Chad as a Spinda, and 10 minutes later Alison and Jessica came out as a Vulpix and Butterfree, respectively.

Cairo's eyes ran up and down his arms, and other varied parts of his body that he could see. "I feel..." Cairo began before pausing and having Chad chime in, "Ridiculous" he added in conclusion before their friends approached them. "Haha, you look great" Alison said to Cairo as she approached him, outstreched her arms and hung backward, holding his arms and smiling, "Likewise miss matthews" he said, smiling.
"Still look good" Chad said, laughing some along with Jessica, as he had informed her earlier of how she looked in the costume, upon her request. "Well, thank you, Chad, so do you" she said to him as they both blushed slightly.
Cairo approached a waiter, serving tray in arms as he grabbed a small cracker topped with varied cheeses and consumed it.

Jessica, too, grabbed a couple of crackers, but she sneaked off to a trash can to get rid of the cheese. "Eew, I hate that bloody stuff." Jessica whispered while dumping it into the trash. As time went on, more and more people arrived, all in various Pok?mon costumes. It was fairly boring in the first 20 minutes, but then a large amount of people began showing up. "Wow, I expected a lot of people, but not this many!" Jessica told her friends. As more and more people showed up, some classical music began to play, Cairo and Alison (after Alison asked a good few times) began to dance along with it in each others arms, while Chad and Jessica had their heads tilted away from each other, but still looking to each other. "Uh, shall we?" Chad finally asked. Jessica slightly sighed with relief. "Uh, yeah." The two started out awkwardly, but slowly got better, and finally perfected it as they realised they were the only ones there to each other. After a bit, and slowing down some, Jessica began to lay her head gently on Chad's chest, feeling that this was probably the best night in her life.

Chad said nothing as he embraced Jessica, swaying slightly to the music playing in the background. He kissed the top of Jessica's head and she looked up to him, smiling. "I'm having a really great time." She said, blushing. "So am I." Chad said, smiling back. He looked endearingly into her eyes, notions of what he had done on his entire journey surfaced, and then an entailing comparison to this moment. He had never experienced such an instance, and never met someone quite like Jessica Wyler.
"Jessica" he began softly, his head resting easily atop her head on his chest, "Thank you for finding us..for finding me"

"Mmm-hmm..." Jessica responded, "And thank you for--for just being you." They continued for what seemed to be an eternity, slowly swaying to the music. Jessica hoped more and more as the night went on that it would never end. Songs changed, so did their swaying, but not the wonderous feeling of it all. Not a thing could ruin anything, the soft, flowing movements, the calm, loving mood, nothing. As long as Jessica and Chad were in each other's arms, life stood still and perfect.

As a song faded to a conclusion, Chad noted the appearance of several dancers spinning, and traversing the ballroom around him. Bulbasuars, Mothims and Farfetch'ds, or at least what appeared as them, filled the room and a feeling of a quasi-masquerade loomed in the room. Chad leaned his head to Jessica's, and kissed her cheek, followed promptly by him lightly caressing her cheek with his. He drew his head back and looked to her eyes, blushing and smiling.
Cairo stood dormant, hitting himself atop the head with his large, plastic bone while Alison doggedly persisted, trying to get him to dance. "Nope" he announced for the fourth time. "Okay, look, you're dressed like an idiot, so am I, we're dancing" Alison said, arms crossed and smiling slightly. Cairo turned to her and raised the skull mask to his forehead and approached her, looking falsely irked. "Alison" he said with a stern look on his face. A moment of silence loomed before an immense grin streched across his face, "Alright" he said as he grabbed her by her wrist and swept her into a spin, before they began to dance, and the mask fell back over his face. He looked to her, and leaned in to kiss her, facetiosuly however, as the immense mask's large nose was all that made contact with a giggling Alison.
"There he is" said a brunette trainer, pointing out Cairo accompanied by a younger boy, and garbed as a Ninetails.

Cairo twirled about, holding Alison tight. He smiled as the classical music flooded his ears, and for a moment, he didn't care about the way he was dressed.
"Excuse me" a voice said, accompanied by a light finger tap on Dani's shoulder. "Would you like to dance?" She heard as turned to a larger male, around her age, perhaps slighlty older. "I'd love to" she said as she took the man's hand and eventually wrapped her way into a proper position for carrying out a dance. Dani took slight advantage of the situation, in taking control of the dance and its motions. She guided herself and the man toward Cairo, so that on Cairo and Alison's next "twirl" Cairo would see her in passing.
"Well, I don't know, Chad and Jessica seem to like-" Cairo had been saying before his eyes grew wide, and his mouth agape. "What is it?" Alison asked in question, ceasing their dance, but as she still held Cairo by one arm as she turned to see what she knew was going to occur. "God, da-" Cairo began before being silenced by a giggling Alison's finger, "let's just try and ignore her for now, mmmkay?" She suggested before Cairo leaned in and kissed her softly, mask lifted this time.
The song came to a close and the man relinquished Dani, "Thank you" he began, "You're a great dancer" he said as he raised her hand and kissed it. Dani giggled before saying, "Likewise" accompanied by a, "Thanks" before he walked off, and she walked off to find Elliot.

Soon the song had ended and she, along with Cairo, sat down at catch their breathe. "This is alot of fun" She said to Cairo after taking a drink of water. Soon the next song came on, much slower this time. "Up for another one?" Alison asked and before he could answer, he was up on is feet and soon they were dancing to the smooth, slow music around them.

"You know it" he said as he took her hand and strode back to the center of the room, where he brought his arms around her, hands linked and the back of her waist, while hers were locked around the back of Cairo's neck. He leaned in and kissed the top of her head, "You're my favorite" he said, somewhat facetiously, but naturally meaning it to the same degree.
Dani looked on to the duo. She couldn't understand why Cairo loved Alison and not her. "I...I need to go sit down for a minute Elliot..." She said before, initially walking slowly to a chair in the corner, but progressing into a swift walk, hiding her face from the group of people in the room. "God i..." she manged as she began to wipe tears from her face, "I don't get anything..." Dani sat, one fist holding her head propped up by pressing it against her mouth, her other hand wrapped around the fisted hand. A young girl walked by, and noted the Dani's sullen mannerisms, as despite not wanting to make it awkward, progressed into a sympathetic mindset. "Everything alright?" the girl inquired as Dani looked up to her.
((OOC: The girl is Chad's character, Fallon. I have is OK to bring her in, and for the specific sitaution, he'll be RP'ing her from now. Dani, Fallon, and Elliot are all only temporarily in the Sevii islands, so no need to panic because of the increasing number of characters. They'll be gone after the dance.))

With her arms around his neck and his around her waist, Alison and Cairo danced in each other's arms, like the world around them stopped. "This night is just great." She said with a smile as they danced. Then she lifted Cairo's mask and kissed his lips with passion as she wrapped her arms around his neck to bring him closer. She then relinquished the kiss and smiled. "I hope this night doesn't end!"

"Me either" he said, smiling as he left the Marowak mask atop his head and proceeded to kiss his friend, while maintain a slight swaying motion, to sustain their dance.
"Nothing, I'm...I'm fine, thanks" Dani said, keeping a less than effevescent face and tone about her. "No you aren't" The girl said, throwing hands to hips, "Is it a boy? Because they aren't worht getting upset over" Dani laughed slightly looking to the girl who couldnt've been more than thirteen. "Neither are shiny Pok?mon, especially ones you can't catch because.." The girl started up again, Dani, however, chose to ignore her tangent. "Would you like to dance?" The girl asked her, laughing slighlty as she extended a hand, "What?" Dani inquired, giggling slightly, "Ha, just as friends, don't worry" The girl reassured her. They both laughed fairly heartily before Dani ascended to her feet, "Well, alright..what was your name?" she inquired as the two walked to the dance floor, "Fallon, Fallon Emerson, yourself?" "Dani Hopper, nice to meet you Fallon" she said as she danced, remaining somewhat distant from the girl, but fairly comfortable.

After a few more minutes of that song, the music ended and the mc came up to the microphone. "Thank you, one and all, for coming to our Cosplay Ball!" Soon the audience broke into aplause while Cairo and Alison sat down, hand in hand. "Now, make sure your costumes are nice and neat. Because in five minutes we'll be having a costume contest!"

The music had stopped and several judges were walking throughout the ballroom, perusing those attending the dance, and more specifically, their costumes. "I'll be right back, I need to go make sure my costume looks good!" Jessica exclaimed before releasing her light hold on her hand, and taking off to the changing room. Chad smiled some before being approached by a familiar face. "Hey there" Chad was startled at first, before turning to see who had addressed him, "Oh, ha, scared me. Hi Dani, how are you?" he inquired politely.
Dani admired Chad, and respected him all the same, but could not defeat an underlying need for her feelings for Cairo to be mutual.
"So, who was that girl?" Dani inquired, one brow raised as she slipped her right hand around his left. He blushed slightly as he looked down, "Uh, that was, uh, J-Jessica. Dani what exactly are you doi-" before Chad could finish his query, Dani leaned her head on his shoulder, and relinquished her grip on his hand to allow both her arms to wrap around him from the side. His eyes grew wide, and Chad was perplexed as to what to do.
"I should probabaly say something to Dani" Cairo said as he turned to face Alison, but before he noticed, offset looming on his peripheral vision, Dani embracing a blushing Chad. "What the..." he inquired, speechless and beffutled.

"Whats going on?!" Alison asked as she looked to see Dani with her arms around Chad. "I'll never understand that boy. First it was Sarah, then Lily, then Sarah again, then Jessica and now Dani?" She said/asked, somewhat disgusted. "Thats just strange." Alison said taking Cairo's hand and kissing his shoulder before leaning her head on it.
