It had been about thirty minutes after she arrived and Mei wasn't sure she wanted to go through with this. While the reason they were friends was a bit iffy, she was sure that in the future things would be okay. After all it wasn't her fault right? What happened if she got too attached and then Kaiser got her magical blunder reversed. She had no idea how to describe the way she was feeling, the giddiness when she, and whoever lended their help and advice were making her costume. As reluctant as she was to admit her feelings especially when she didn't understand them, the thirteen year old was counting this as her first date. She had no idea how to describe the feeling in her stomach..was that was never felt like?? little spiders doing tap dances and somersaults in your stomach?

Still she adjusted her cap and tried to stick to the shadows, who would find who first? She tried to look for someone that was floating, but she was sure that Kaiser would be smart enough to walk like normal. After all she could spot her friend a mile away because of his tendency to float. It wasn't exciting to her, at the same time a bit worrying. It didn't help her whole confusion about emotions that she felt awkwardly happy around Kaiser. Like the whole dilemma with her not being good enough for her family or being able to stay out trouble for too long didn't matter.

After all even though she had accidently screwed up and turned him thirteen he still stuck around and became her friend. He was the only person besides her family that had managed to see the nice caring side of her. Even if she didn't understand what that meant. She was still trying to wrap her head around caring for him in a way that didn't feel familia in the slightest. She was hoping that her mom or grandmother could help with that but she was too afraid to ask them.

She eventually found herself near one of the doors leading outside. Would it be cheating if she just walked out for a quick second? She was contemplating open the door when she felt someone behind her. Turning around, her dress and cape moving gracefully with her she smiled at the stranger. "Hello" She said, she was sure to use her most proper voice. If she started talking in slang it was a dead give away. On the inside she was feeling like a princess in the dress and at a ball...it was magical...even if she wouldn't ever admit it.

The young boy was definitely prepared for this! Well it was Halloween and his favorite time of the year! This day was definitely special and with the Masquerade ball what more could he ask for?! Actually there's a lot more things but that's beside the point because it's Halloween! He was one of the first people to arrive to the ballroom , he was invisible so no one paid attention to him floating above the room at all. This was the fastest way to search for Mei that he could think of.....well he could have hung out by the door and examine every that entered but that was so boring. After several minutes of floating he groaned as he floated down to the floor and revealed himself in the crowd, not like anyone was paying attention.

Kaiser had handcrafted this himself after all and yes it was awesome. He had to hide the giveaways like his white hair soo, he had cut it and after seriously taking an hour on it it was now black..with a few strands of white sticking out, next the mask was half black and half white and heavily decorated but that's not all the eye mask had, Since his pale skin was very noticeable and his green eyes, Kaiser had the mask charmed to change his appearance making his eyes a sky blue and his skin a more livelier smooth pink color. The irony that the fact he actually looked waaay more human than before of course he doesn't feel like it, But this is why he was here! Mei was the only person that made him feel human like no one else did...which is strange to him.

Yes he is gay, 99.9% gay to be exact and there is a reason why it wasn't 100%. That reason is simply that Mei was that .1%, He loved her more than anything, except Andy...nothing comes before Andy, speaking of Andy the little turtle was also at the party, in Kaiser's purple coat pocket. Andy wore a similar mask and a purple coat but guess what? HE WASN'T A TURTLE, Kaiser found some old guy that was able to change Andy into a cat for the night, so it was a little bit noticeable that something was in his coat with the faint purring and the little movements he made. Kaiser tried his best by folding his arms over the spot Kitty Andy was and it worked..just barely.

He didn't know how long he was looking for Mei, like seriously how long was he looking for her until he saw someone fitting her description a bit walk by and head to the door. Not 100% sure it was her, he followed behind until she stopped and turned around and said Hello, great it worked she doesn't notice him yay! Then again...this could be a complete stranger who just happens to look like her. "Hello madam, I noticed you seem a bit lonely and a lovely person like yourself shouldn't leave the ballroom without having a dance first" Yes nailed it! Nothing could go wro- AND HERE COMES KITTY ANDY STICKING HIS HEAD OUT FROM THE INSIDE OF KAISER'S COAT! He tried to keep a smile on his face as he patted Andy's little head, very much ruined it...thanks Andy. "This is my cat....uh he says hello...."

Mei tried not to giggle, the cat kind of giving Kaiser away but she would play along. Did he find her or did she find him? Something she wasn't entirely sure of this, she had hide her ear and her eyes but her skin complexion was something that she couldn't change and wouldn't want to. Red eyes looked over him, smiling shyly at the cat. Could Andy tell it was her? her scent wasn't all that different. If only she had something to change that besides perfume, it was weird. Normally when she saw Kaiser she got this weird feeling in her stomach but she didn't feel anything with the stranger. Did that mean it wasn't him..Or was it because she didn't exactly know if it was him or not? It was just another question that made this all the more strange. She was going to follow the feeling and see where it lead her. Even if she didn't understand and her mind was telling her that it wasn't something she wanted she was going to go for it.

"I would love to dance with you, if you're asking" She said blushing lightly beneath her mask. It was easier to let her guard down with her mask on. No one would know who she was, no one would be able to see that she wasn't as tough as she acted most of the time. She hoped to whatever higher power that was looking out for her that this wasn't a mistake. She didn't want to feel what being hurt felt like. She had no idea that she would have to go to the past to figure herself out. It was scary that the things she thought were important when she had first gotten to the past, didn't seem as important as they did in that moment.

She patted Cat Andy's head and smiled at stranger. "Lead the way" She said offering her glove covered hair to the stranger before her. She wasn't sure if the stranger was kaiser but a dance wouldn't hurt anybody.

Was his cover blown? Nah it couldn't be blown right? There was still little indication for Kaiser that this was Mei he was talking to other than her skin, white hair, and size, of course he could try to see If she still has the same habits..maybe not. Andy looked at Mei and then to Kaiser and purring before popping his head back into Kaiser's coat pocket only causing Kaiser to chuckle nervously. Upon hearing the masked girl's words he smiled and held out his hand. "Shall we then?" He said as he took her hand and led her to the dance floor.

He smiled at her as he then pulled her a bit closer to him as he held her hand. Okay so now he needed to see if this was really Mei or not. "So...did you come here alone or did you come with someone else? " Kaiser then placed his right arm around her waist as he continued to hold her hand with his other one. Okay, he definitely knew how to dance! He learned from the best he could find....which was from a bunch of dancing movies but he did learn something! " Me? I was actually looking for someone but...I don't know if she ever came...I think...I don't know. .she's really cute and I really wanted to dance with her and yet...I haven't been able to find her..." He said this as he was looking the masked girl in her eyes but soon looked away to search the room again to see if he could find anyone that looked like Mei other than the masked girl he was now dancing with.

Mei blushed from behind her mask as he put his hand on her waist. She put her free hand on his shoulder and confidently started to dance along. She let him lead, normally Mei would never let someone lead the dance but she felt comfortable around him. In that moment she felt way girlier than she had ever felt around someone. It was constantly her trying to fight everyone to prove she was tough, to prove that she didn't need anyone to take care of her or love her. She didn't know if it was so she could push people or away or protect herself for when everyone was disappointed and left. "No..I came alone but I might be looking for a special someone" She said mysteriously as she smiled through the dance" She had no idea if this was kaiser, he was way better at hiding than her it seemed. The strangers complexion was a bit more human like and wasn't floating. She focused on dancing, not that she needed to. When she dance she had the delicate feminine grace that was normally missing when she stomped around in her combat boots.

"So this girl? You like her? I would hate to keep someone away from their crush. I could help you find her" Mei offered up, a smile on her face. She resisted the urge to smirk. A smirk would give her away. No she had to play this cool, still when she heard his words she got that feeling in her stomach. If he was kaiser, did that mean he liked her? Or did he just think she was pretty? She knew that she was very pretty so that wasn't knew but the fact that Kaiser might think that filled her with a strange feeling she had never felt before.

Just in case her eyes also scanned the room when he looked away. She didn't want to get her hopes up only to find that someone who obviously Kaiser was standing in the corner. No she didn't think she could handle the disappointment. The stranger whose arms she was currently in was handsome and mysterious. Something she hadn't thought Kaiser could pull off, she hoped that it was him. It was a different side of him and she liked it.

So he was still not really sure if this was her or not but Andy seem to thinks so, either way he'd continue to dance with the girl. "Ah well I'll help you if you help me find my special someone....but yeah, the girl...I like her, she makes me feel I don't know the word for it....I just love her." He was blushing a bit as he said that as he continued to slowly dance with the mysterious masked girl.

Kaiser would then let go of her hand and raised it to her cheek as he gave her a warm smile. "However I think I found her...isn't that right Ms. Supreme Ruler Okay he's trusting the mysterious masked cat on this. Of course if the girl wasn't Mei it's not like his identity was blown or hers...just a really embarrassing guess. " IF you are her...would you mind closing your eyes? " If she did so he would give her a small peck on the lips as he floated them up and through the roof and into the night sky. Once there he would then remove his mask as Andy popped his head back out. Of course removing the mask made his hair turn snow white and his eyes back lime green. "So how'd I do? Super mysterious and awesome right? " He was holding her tightly close to him since well...they were floating and he didn't want her to fall. "Sorry I had to like leave that place....too many people for me plus a dance in the night sky with the stars and moon for the backdrop is three thousand times more romantic right?" Andy slightly purred as he moved around inside Kaiser's coat so he can full stick his head out of the coat and looked back and forth between the two.

Mei was holding her breathe, she didn't know what she was feeling. Hopefully it was Kaiser, she wished it was. She had no idea what she was feeling or why. No one explained things to her. She knew what a crush was, she knew that she wanted to hang out with Kaiser. Then there was her brain telling her she date, that the way she felt had nothing to do with what she thought. Was she to immature to understand what was going on? She know that she wasn't a normal thirteen year old, yet she knew that normal thirteen year olds went on dates and to the mall. Did that change because she was a drow and she aged weird? How did her dad handle it?

Mei smirked and closed her eyes, she would let him win this one. She blushed as he gave her lipd a small peck. It was innocent and nice, she was worrying about things for thing. "It was awesome, definitely mysterious" She said smiling and lifting her mask up. She wouldn't take it off, she had spent too much time making it.

"It's fine, and yes I think its romantic, at least all the movies say it is." She said, she was incrediy happy about how her evening turned out.

"The real queston is what do we do now that we've found each other... Dance or ditch and shake down the island for candy?"

"Why not both?" He continued to keep them floating in the air as he slowly danced with Mei, this was nice , he liked this..just him and Mei.....well there was Andy but he wasn't dancing or counts in this situation. "Can we...count this as our first date?" He asked innocently, then again they could count a lot of things as their first date but this one was different, he actually kissed Mei! Well it was just a small kiss..nothing fancy but it still counts as their first? Well he wasn't sure and decided to float them back down but instead of going back into the ballroom x he landed outside just a few feet away. "Okay..what I actually meant was...can we date? Um..I know how you are about wanting to be strong and swole but having someone to love you doesn't make you weak...so..uh...I WANT TO BE YOUR BOYFRIEND IF POSSIBLE! Yeah....I'd probably have to get your parents permission to but it's worth a try! Okay...I'm going to shut up now...." That...wasn't as smooth as it sounded in Kaiser's head and now he just feels embarrassed.

Mei nodded with a small smile "Yes this could definitely count as our first date" She said nodding. After all, going to the dance together and shaking down suckers for candy was fun. They might even be able to steal bowls of candy if Kaiser snuck into the house and ghosted through the walls. Then she would have the awesomeness candy stash ever...because Kaiser didn't eat so it was a win-win for her.

"Yes, i mean thirteen year olds have boyfriends so I don't think it would be a problem. We already hang out and hug so being boyfriend and girlfriend isn't anything but a title right?" She asked, she wasn't even sure what the big deal was. She kissed kaiser on the cheek and smiled despite the blush on her face. It was so much easier to deal with this when she had her mask on. Was this how normal teenagers dealt with emotions? Was that what the little spiders in her stomach were...butterflies? She was so confused and she really wanted someone to explain it to her so she hoped her mom would be open minded.

"So now what to do we do? Raid the snack table?"She asked nervous for the first time outwardly, and not just in her head.

Kaiser smiled and blushed as Mei gave him a kiss on the cheek and he was really happy. "YEAAH!! JUST A TITLE, NOW LET'S GO GET YOU AND ANDY SOME CANDY!!!" He took her hand after he placed his mask back on and headed to the nearest home. It was simple, it all depened on what and how much of the candy they were given to determine whether or not if Kaiser would float in and get some himself. So here he was going trick or treating with his cool pet turtle who is currently a cat and with his new girlfriend.

The first house, it was a large nice home and taking the initiative and following the old tradition. Kaiser floated up to the door and knocked on it three times. A guy in a monkey suit opened the door and handed them bananas, chocolate covered bananas. That was in the okay zone because chocolate covered fruit. Next was this medium sized brick house with very spooky decorations and fog...black fog. Floating over to the door, the fog seemed to retract immediately and form into a creepy black hooded figure who held out s giant container of candy. "Soooooo cool!!!" Moving onward to the next house with way more scarier and very authentic looking dead bodies all around in the yard, Kaiser knocked on the door to be met with a guy dressed as....???? It's indescribable very terrifying, definitely not sure if that's a costume Cool right? Nope! Turns out he gave out apple slices and water!!!

After finishing handing out the goods The ???? Man closed the door and Kaiser immediately turned to face Mei. "You know what I'm thinking? " He grinned at Mei and petted cat Andy like. "Do you got the eggs?" Very innocently asked.
