"Here here, check this! It's cute right! And here, look look!"
Inside the Party hall, a certain someone showed a bunch of certain things at 3 people in front of him with a high enthusiast while ignoring the other people besides them who giving a hard stare. He shoves it to them and grabs their shoulder with a refreshing smile.
"I-I see. It's sure is cute..."
"Y-Yes, Senior Alan... Can we go now?"
"Nope! Look here! I have more!"
The one who holding Charles and Arya shoulders with shining eyes was Senior Alan. He ignores Arya refusal and tightens his grip, Charles and Arya unable to do anything with this smiling man and just hold "it" in their hand while sweating mountain hearing his nonsense rambling. But not like the two, a certain person looked at one of it with pleased face and his eyes clearly glued with it. Before long Arya manages to break free from the devil hand by sacrificing the troubled Charles and approached Edward.
Unfortunately, Edward already charmed by the devil Alan and unable to go back- cough. Seeing him like that, Arya couldn't help but to shake his head and threw a tired sigh. Arya turns his attention to Senior Alan who keeps wrestling with Charles and thought the time when they meet with him before they arrived here.
****
On the way to the Party hall, Arya, Charles, Daisy, and Edward meet with Alicia. She didn't wear any dress and still wearing the school uniform. Because she looks restless they approached her in worry. Arya decided to call her first.
"Hey Alicia, are you not going to join the party?"
"Ah, Arya? No, I do. But..."
"What is it? Are there something bothering you ?"
Alicia who noticed her friends coming answered while agitated, seeing this Edward stepped forward and ask her what happen, only to make her more uneasy. Arya and Charles behind Edward just exchanged glance not knowing what to do. It's the first time seeing Alicia in this state before long Arya noticed a glowing orb behind Alicia. The orb becomes horizontal slit-like a clown when smiling- it looks like a predator who finds its easy prey. A disgusting confidence face of a certain person appeared in Arya's head and he paled, a shadow jumped from its hidden place and straight at Alicia location.
"Watch out!"
Arya shouted while charging ahead, Edward who noticed the change from Arya's face at the start, make a serious face and turn around while performing a back kick. And Arya who manage to appear beside Edward launched a punch. Their attack surprisingly hit the target very easy, not counter attack, not blocking, and not evading. Straight to the target made Arya and Edward dumbfounded because of the lack of response.
Arya punch hitting the stomach area while Edward kicks fortunately or unfortunately hit the unknown face and send it flying and with dull sound its hit the ground. Hard.
The unknown man who laying on the ground, suddenly jumping straight into standing position surprised Arya and his friends. It's man- a young man (because he is wearing a nice party suit) but because he was flying to the shadow of the trees they unable to see his face, just a pair of eyes which locking to trembling Alicia while murmuring something. When he appeared from the shadow, a surprised face appeared from Arya and his friends except for Alicia.
""Senior Alan!?""
The man- Senior Alan ignoring them and looked at Alicia before he arrived in front of her, Edward and Arya already locked his both hand to restrain him. Senior Alan who noticed his step didn't make him move forward finally noticed Arya and Edward beside him, make a face 'Since when you are here?'.

Before he can speak his complaint, Alicia yelled at him.
"Stop it, Brother! You embarrassed me!"
""Eh, what!!?""
This bomb made Arya and Edward surprised and loosened their grip, and to their surprise Senior Alan rushed and hugged Alicia.
"But you always ignore me! As a big brother its hurts. Hm, you smell good. Did you change your shampoo? Ah, what my manner! Big brother is proud of you. Then please wear this-"
"No! Let go of me!"
"Aaahh.."
Senior Alan makes an unconvincing sad face while rubbing his face at Alicia's head while sniffling, pulled out a bright pink and orange frilly dress out of nowhere and Alicia who trembled in anger shoved Senior Alan away. Hard. Senior Alan who pushed away make an unconvincing cry and hit his head on the innocent tree. Alicia then hides behind Charles who smaller than her.
"Arya, Edward! Until when you keep making that face!!"
Alicia who behind Charles shouted at Arya and Edward with tearing eyes, this make Arya and Edward break from their stupefied face. But it's can't be helped because the fact made them shocked. Alicia has a big brother!? They looked at the laying body and then the undead- Cough. Senior Alan standing back while brushing the dust in his suit without caring for his head.
"But this dress is special for you! I personally made this you know!"
"....."
Seeing Alicia try to stay away from him, Senior Alan calling her while trying to give her the dress. But Alicia just stared at him in disgust.
"Did you hate your big brother now..."
"N-no. It's not like that, b-but..."
"Do you forget when you are a kid, always calling me with 'onii-chan' while imitating anime character from the anime I watch! How about when you are afraid going to the toilet in the night and make me accompany you, waiting in the dark corridor alone? How about-"
"Speak once again and I send you hell."
when Senior Alan makes a sad expression Alicia stirred and somehow feels so sorry, but the next sentence from him make her change her expression into dead eyes forced him to shut.
Actually, it's very cute seeing brothers giving a present to his sisters, especially a cute dress. But in Senior Alan case, he is too stray from the right path. Both physically and mentally.
"Sorry to intrude, I have a suggestion. Alicia right. I see you didn't have any dress, how about we go to the girl's party preparation room? I remember they have a spare dress~"
"Really? Is that true?"
"Yes, Alright Charles. We will go first, we will meet at the main party hall okay~?
Before the awkward situation becomes worst, Daisy decided to throw a safe boat. She tells Alice about the preparation room which has a spare dress while making sure to ignore Senior Alan 'How about this dress?' 'Hello?' And drag Alicia with her, without forgetting to give a wink at Charles.
"What!? Nooo, don't go! My angelic little sweety milky strawberry!!"
And Edward drags the frantic Senior Alan who shouted more nonsense than this by the neck hem toward the main party hall which in a different location from Alicia and Daisy.
****
The Main Party Hall were located inside the school hall, the staff really know what they do. The change really makes students especially the first year to stand there looking around in wonder while the third year smirked at them and the second year was smiling wryly because they experienced the same expression like them before.

The original boring hall with wide space area and few portal device at the corner changed into a room which worthy a trophy of the best room. The brick wall was decorated beautifully and full of something like soundproof things, a row of long tables full of food at the corner, the light was so bright and warm even decorated with colorful things. The stage was majesty and the sound system will sound through the entire room.
The hall which full of people chatting really suited the name of the Main Party Hall. Speaking of Alicia and Daisy, they and the other girls was inside the preparation room for them to change into a dress and take a makeup, hence the 'Girls Preparation Room' was the name. The room isn't like any normal change room because not even male students here know the place. Its place was so secret and well-guarded. Yes, its heavy guarded with a scary military man who will shoot you on the spot. Not even a son of general can come within 5 meters, so no peeper can be found.
Basically, if you are not a woman, it's NO! Don't even ask about Trap!! Even the military men will never approach the room building which they are guarding if they still love their life. Because there are other guardians waiting. Until this day, that room was a dreamland where all male student can only able to dream. Senior Alan telling the tale with an unneeded tear like an act.
Because the girls took time for that, Senior Alan decided to pull out that things from his pocket and the stories go back to the front where Arya having a headache. Seeing they didn't do anything, Arya peeked at the thing in Edward's hand, the photo Edward locked his eyes into and widened his eyes.
"Stalker! There is a stalker here !"
"What the hell are you doing."
Arya steals the photo and tries to tear it but Edward able to stop him first, and they wrestling to take over the photo. Before long the photo was taken by Senior Alan and slipped that photo to his pocket, with poker face while sipping a glass of soda with one hand. His face is irritating Arya.
"Brother, could you give that photo to me?"
"I didn't remember have a brother like you."
"Forgive my rudeness! Here is for you brother, please accept it."
"T-this is!? V-very well, welcome abroad my brother!"
"Yes, brother!"
Edward walked forward and asking Senior Alan, but he ignores Edward while keep sipping his soda. But after Edward pulled out one photo from his breast pocket, Senior Alan who originally just giving a glance was surprised and trapped by Edward trap, and they finished their third rate drama- nope, to Arya disgust, they still continued. Somehow the hall was quiet, no idle chat, no laugh, just Senior Alan and Edward silly drama.
But their eyes didn't stop at them but far beyond, to the main door where the entrance located. The closed door opened slowly and make the waiting students grow restless. 'Just open the door already!!!' They shouted that on their mind, their heart started to thump in excitement. 'Is the door really that heavy!?' Arya retorted while joined the restless students, even duo stalker was silent.
Finally, their wish become true, the door opened and the girls poured in while showing off their dress and the male students voiced their feelings like 'Oooh!!' 'Aah!!' 'Woow!!'. Hearing this some girls was embarrassed, proud, but all of them has the same feeling. And that showed by the male student's expressions and they feel glad and proud for this. Between the girls who entered the hall, Alicia and Daisy's figure approached them.
Seeing her sister approach, Senior Alan make a triumph expression. Alicia now wearing a yellow one-piece dress with cute frills, she changed her hairstyle to twin tail, wearing high heels, somehow her yellow dress and her blond hair added by her white skin really match each other. She walked forward and stopped in front of him with a smile.
"H-how is it?"
"Y-yes. It's suit you very much. Y-you are c-cute."
"Thank you! Ehehehe...."
Alicia asks him while showed off her dress by raising her skirt a little with a red face, he too answered with a red face while scratching his head with Alicia smiled shyly at him. They making a pink atmosphere while certain someone going berserk in tear with Arya make sure to stop whatever he will do.
"How is it, Edward? I was the one who chooses this dress you know ~" Daisy appeared behind Alicia while holding her shoulder and giving Edward a wink.
"Right right! Daisy has a good sense with girls dress you know."
"Charles, you flatter me... fufufu."
Charles beside her also speaking with proud face while Alicia and Edward shyly averted their eyes when they make an eye contact each other. Meanwhile, Arya having a hard time to make sure the berserk senior Alan does not lose his control while retorted in his mind, 'Guys! Are you forget about me!? I have a problem here, don't just going into your own world, Hey!'.
Before long two figures appeared behind the wave of girls, these two figures make all the people inside stare at them. Even Arya who holding senior Alan was mesmerized and loosened his grip, resulting senior Alan to hit the ground because of him unable to control his strength, and screamed with 'Whaa..!!'. Daisy beside them placed one hand on her cheeks while speaking, 'Ah, I forgot about our divas~'.
The first person was a girl with familiar red hair, however, she didn't tie her hair behind but let it loose behind her. The long hair swayed wherever she is walking. This change of hair really captivated him, he gulped his saliva and observing her dress. Yes, she is wearing a western dress. A gradation color of green and yellow, the one piece dress plus her red hair and her calm expression somehow radiating a warm sensation to whoever see her. With some part of her back visible, she showed her charm as well.
With red face Arya averted his eyes and noticed the person beside Iroha, her long black hair was bundled behind her head, wearing a dress with shoulder visible, its emphasize her charming neck. She is wearing a two-piece dress, her top was a sky blue while her skirt is purple. The contrast color makes her mysterious, like the charming night. With half closed eyes Yukiha smiled and make his heart thumping very fast. The two people standing side by side, and their appearance look like the sun and the moon.
They keep walking straight and stopped in front of the nervous Arya. They smiled at him like a blossoming flower makes his face become red.
"How is it Arya-san."
"What do you think, Arya-kun."
They speaking at him at the same time, hearing this Iroha and Yukiha throwing a glance at each other, puzzled before turning their attention to the person in front of them. Arya placed one hand in his heart to calm it, and the other hand to cover his eyes. He takes a deep breath before facing them with a serious face.
"Y-yes. It's really nice, it looks good on you."
"T, thank you..."
"Really, thanks."
"A-and then. Um... Yukiha-san, could you-"
"Shh..."
Arya speaking his compliment the best he can toward both of them and they replied with a full blossom smile which almost throws out Arya's heart. Arya makes a resolve like faces and tries speaking his invitation, but he was interrupted by Yukiha finger on his lips. Her smile silenced him.
"I just come here to show off my dress, and I already achieved my goal. Anyway, Arya-kun. Make sure to entertain this child okay? She forced herself until this time you know. I have an engagement, see you again."
Yukiha suddenly shoved Iroha toward Arya who unconsciously grab her shoulder to support her, make her hug his chest. Yukiha smiled at them and retreating before letting them speaking anything, but unknown to them Yukiha showed a sad smile and disappeared from the crowd. Arya who standing there while holding Iroha, finally noticed that they are really close and hurriedly parted away.
"S-sorry Iroha-san, are you alright?"
"...Yes."
Seeing Iroha who didn't raise her head and looked below, Arya apologizes and when she replied with a smile he feels relieved. Before long a classic music sounded and at their surrounding, many male students invited the girls to dance. Suddenly Arya noticed Daisy who giving him a wink at them, and he sighed before turn his attention to Iroha who swirled her hair.
"Iroha-san, do you to dance with me?"
"Eh, b-but I didn't know how to-"
"Don't worry, we can make it. Together."
Arya invited her and stretch out his hand, Iroha unconsciously tries to take his hand but hesitated. Arya smiled, forcefully grab her hand and dragged her to the dance stage.
'I know I have practiced dancing before, but it's different while holding a girl and when I practiced with Master Albert...'
When they arrived, Arya showed her how to position themselves and he gulped his saliva in nervous. Seeing an unusual shyly Iroha didn't even calm his heart. His left hand at her back and their other hand interlocked, Arya can feel her soft and warm hand. He paled remember his dance training with master Albert. He once retorted why he needs to dance with the old man? He was hit by him, and become docile.
He shakes his head to forget that thought, then he showed her the first step of dance and they began to familiarize with the music, although some stepping on toes, mainly Arya's toes. As a man, he makes sure to endure it.
Then their awkward dance becomes smooth, their dance becomes advanced like spinning and stretched out their hand and came back. Unknowingly, their dance attracting the attention of other students who give them amaze look. The dance finished with Iroha leaning to Arya body and Arya supported her while they tilted sideways. A loud applause from surrounding makes them parted with a red face.
"Erm, I-I am thirsty. I will get a drink first."
Iroha suddenly jerked and speaking in a loud voice while try to evade an eye contact with Arya, she running toward one of the long tables without letting Arya says anything. Between his vision, he saw Iroha ambushed by her friends and she was bombarded with a question. Seeing her, he showed a wry smile and turn his head around to find certain someone.
"I bring back a juice, Arya... san?"
After escaping from her friends, Iroha coming back with 2 glass of juice while pushed her way through the crowd, she unable to find him and looking around. Her previous bright smile turned into confusion.
*****
Outside the party hall, the scenery different than inside. No bright light, no colorful decoration. Just a building light and the moon illuminated the area, there is no cloud so the starry night filled the sky. At this time, a lone figure can be seen staring at the sky. Her blue dress looked out of place but mysteriously charming. Before long, she noticed a presence behind her.
"The party didn't finish yet right?" Without turning around to face him, she is speaking while closed her eyes.
"Y-yes. I just need a to take a fresh air.."
"Is that so, the wind sure is good right?"
"Why?"
Like agreeing with her, the comfortable wind appeared, but when she hear a question like a reply she turned to face him and said to Arya with a serious face.
"What do you mean by why?"
Yukiha asks him while tilting her head, but Arya keeps his serious face and asks her about her reason.
"Why did you escaped here? Aren't it waste when you're wearing a nice dress?"
"..."
However, Yukiha didn't answer and just staring at the far sky. With a sigh, she speaking once again, with a stern expression.
"Is it even your businesses, Arya-kun?"
"No, but isn't it wrong for me to feel worried about you?"
"Pfftt... aha ha ha... you sure is funny? With just that and you decided to come to me?"
Hearing Arya reply, Yukiha expression turned from stern expression into a wry smile, but that didn't last long as her serious expression come back. She glared at Arya, but he didn't waver because he knows she didn't throw any hostility, just a glare which asking his real intention.
"No, but isn't it what friends are for? If you are troubled, you can speak to me."
".. I can't... not this time."
But Yukiha was shaken by Arya next word, how did he know? Yukiha shakes her head while murmuring in a sad tone. Seeing her like that, Arya decided to not continued this topic.
"Fine, let's drop this. Anyway, can you follow me for a second ?"
"Hm, what for?"
"Don't worry I will not bite."
Arya turned his body and walking, he wants to take her hand and lead her, but he didn't dare. He speaking from his shoulder while hoping Yukiha followed him. His fear was thrown out the window as he hears a walking step behind him, with a smile he leads her. Unknowingly for them, a black car followed behind at the fair distance.
Arya and Yukiha walked until they arrived at the familiar place, a big tree which its branch tilted to the sea. Arya suddenly jumped upward and sitting at the nearer branch, he rustled at the spot to find a comfortable position and stretched his hand at her with a smile.
'Is he forgot I wearing a dress!?' With a sigh she take his hand and she suddenly feels a change of wind, Arya pulled her with full strength, thanks to her training she didn't scream and calmly grab a branch and have a full swing before sitting next to Arya who having a dumbfounded face. A vein appeared in her head, she said to him with a smile.
Yukiha creeps to Arya slowly, with her head down she is speaking with some word. Seeing her Arya retreated while denied the best as he can.
"Arya-kun, DO you remember what I Wear?"
"Erm, no! It's just you're too light! Are you really eating daily, Yukiha-san??"
"I do!! Am I looked that heavy?"
After his back hitting the main branch, Yukiha uses this chance to sit in front of him, she rolled out the hem of her waist(hand) and pinched her lower biceps while tearing up 'Is it my fat? Am not fat right.'.
"No no no! I didn't mean like that! Believe me! A-anyway please look over there !"
"Are you trying to dist- ah?"
Arya just shakes his both hand before he pointed at the far sight of the sea beyond the school wall. Yukiha who didn't pay any mind at first was surprised seeing it by herself.
"It's beautiful right." Arya word suddenly appeared close but Yukiha didn't have time to mind it as she was focused on the scenery.
"This... How, is it always like that??"
"Well, just a few times. It's still rare, though."
"But, how can it appear here? It's not in the north right?"
"I don't know about that myself, but isn't it cool?"
"I see.."
What appears in front of Yukiha vision was a line of dancing Aurora, the Aurora color was Green and bit Red. Its color keeps changing and looks beautiful. They keep staring at this scene before Yukiha remembered something.
"Ah, I forgot. Arya-kun, this is the beautiful thing I ever see. Thank you."
Yukiha smiled and leaning Arya to whisper at him and she suddenly kissed his cheeks. Not expecting this, Arya was stunned and can stare at her with wide eyes. With another smile, 'See you.' Yukiha jumped from the branch!
Arya becomes worried and sees her started to jog away while she waving at him. She stopped in front of the black car who suddenly appeared out of nowhere because he didn't notice, Yukiha looks at him for a second before coming inside the car.
~Shiver
Arya gulped when a sudden shiver hit his body, he sure there is someone who stared at him inside the same car as Yukiha.
