Rythian was more nervous than anything today. Today was the day that he would finally tell Zoey those three words. Those three words that desperately ate at his heart. The three words that never escaped his mouth in time. The same words that he whispered over and over again to her after the nuke.
"Zoey? Are you ready?" He called out to her. "Yeah! Almost!" She called back. Suddenly Rythian heard footsteps running over, he turned her way and saw her in a beautiful dress. It wasn't common for either of them to be wearing black tie and a dress. But due to the party they had to to. Rythian could however, only just stare at her. Zoey had a mushroom pin in her nicely combes hair that fell to her back, she wore a red dress that fell to her knees, and it had gold trims.
"I feel so underdressed compared to you." Rythian laughed. Zoey laughed too. "Yeah I understand. Now come on! Let's go!"
Rythian nodded and picked the girl up, and with that the boy started to fly up into the air.

When the two reached the party another couple had also reached there. A small black haired girl with purple arms, she was small compared to the mans height. Who had slightly messy blonde hair, and a free tie. He had a smile on his face as he held the other girls hand. But that smile faded as he saw Rythian.
"Hello Duncan." Rythian said taking Zoey's hand in his own. Zoey squeezed on his hand. "Hello Rythian. This is my apprentice Kim." Rythian looked at the small girl, who smiled and waved at him. It was then he realized her face was purple, well part of it, and the purple on her arms weren't gloves.
"U mm...I-i fell into a sphere. A flux sphere." Duncan smiled at her, "well, have fun!" Duncan chuckled leaving the boy and the girl outside.
Rythian looked at her, "remains me of someone..." he said softly chuckling. Zoey laughed and the two entered the dance.
Suddenly a slow song was playing, Rythian held out his hand to her, she blushed softly and took his hand.
Oh and how they danced the night away, hand in hand, their eyes on no one else but each other. But what really made the night for them both was the three words whispered by the mage to the fire red haired girl.
"I love you."
