When Miguel and Bay reached the top of the tower it was dark, as the ground was not glowing and it wasn't raining anymore. They started putting electrical droplets from the giant test tube into the water spritzer which would spray electronic water onto the clouds which were flaoting around the tower which was extremely high. They did this for a few more hours the began to absale down, down to the bottom where the rope guy, not the cheerful one this time a grumpier looking one, he looked slightly done with life. Miguel and Bay went into the dressing rooms at the side of the tower.
"Miguel, I was just wondering if, maybe I could come over during curfew and stay the night?" Bay asked Miguel over the top of the dressing room divider, as she wriggled out of her harness. Miguel hesitated. How could she come over? He never had her over during curfew. You see Bay didn't know Miguel's secret, he never dared tell anyone. Bay looked nervous.
"Um, I mean, look I'm just really scared of this spirit monster, it gets so lonely in my house and you're alone too, well unless you count Mort but you can't have a conversation with him, can you?" Bay said, she was twisting her fingers around nervously, glad Miguel couldn't see her.
"You can come over. "Miguel blurted out. Idiot he thought to himself.
"Oh, ok!" Said Bay relieved. The step out of the dressing rooms in their own clothes not that these clothes were casual, oh no, they were old victorian close with bronze thread attached and top hats and goggles, these were a collection of clothes by a few hobby sewers called The clothes of the future. They were what we call steam punk.

They started walking back to Miguels house which wasn't far away.
Bay was nervous, she never spent the night at a boys house before.
Her friends always said to stay away from boys completely unless they wanted to marry you, but her girlfriends were all extremely sexist and only wanted the men their parents picked out for them, but Bay didn't know anything about parents. Her parents died in the labs, they were scientists and were trying to improve the light system, but sadly they were blown up by cemicals mixing together that weren't supposed to be mixed together. She was only three at didn't understand alot of things but when she was sent to the orphanage Miguel helped her they were always friends even back then. Bay knew she shouldn't be nervous, as this was only Miguel her bestfriend and only male friend as all the other men didn't go near girls until the girls parents asked them too and sadly some girls would never get married if their parents were selfish. All the adults cared about was machines and their shifts they relied comepletely on their machines most of the time and couldn't wait to get rid of their children, by that I mean to kick them out of the house, of course. *smiles darkly*.

Miguel opened the door and let Bay go ahead of him, she smiled and pushed her goggles, which were falling down, up. Miguel took her long, brown trench coat and put it in the automatic coat drying closet along with his black coat." Where d'you want to sleep in the bed or the couch, I don't mind sleeping on the couch."

They sit down at the table with dinner infront of them. Miguel chewed his food over and over again but couldn't manage to actually swallow it. Bay stood up all of a sudden. Miguel was startled and quickly choked down the food in his mouth. "Bay, what's wrong?" He asked walking over to her. She bit her lip, her goggles slipping down. "Miguel, I have to get this out of my system, I...I think, no, I know, I love you." She said, blushing as red as a tomato, thats sun burnt(**4_is_the_answer sailorkichi eadaoin737 Tomás, full stop**).
Miguel didn't know what to say, he said the only thing he could say. "I love you too." Then he did the, well bravest thing he ever did, he kissed her.

Miguel woke with a start, it was 2am, he was on the couch with Bays head on his shoulder. He got up and layed Bay's head carefully on the couch, he walked omto the kitchen yawning and raking his fingers through his fushia hair, knocking his top hat, that he forgot to take off last night, off his head. He went to the fridge to get some food, the kitchen was cold and eerie, with the glow of the candle in the corner, flickering slightly. Miguel remembered he was not hungry, well he was but he wasnt hungry for normal food. Je heard a noise in the living room and he thought it was Bay, but it was Mort, which by the way means deaths*smiles darkly*, his crow. Mort was staring at him.
"Mort, please not now." Miguel said, hoping the crow could control itself. Bay woke hearing Miguels voice." Miguel, why are you up, oh, hello Mort" she said as she saw what Miguel was looking at. Mort looked from Miguel to Bay and back to Miguel and at that very moment Mort the crow he crowed. Miguel staggered and fell to his knees eyes wide, his whole body shaking. "Miguel, what are you doing, Miguel?" She said getting scared now. Miguels eyes were changing colour from blue to black and his hair fell on his face shadowing it. Miguel was scared he was going to hurt her so he choked out one word, a word that would save her. It wasn't easy he felt as if he was swallowing glass he could barely breath he coughed and at first Bay thought he was ill and was having a fit of some sort but little did she know that her worst fear was standing infront of her.

"Run"he choked, he whispered, he spoke.
Before I do something I'll be guilty for.
I'm dangerous, I'll kill you, with out meaning to.
I can feel it I can feel coming out through my core,
This happens everytime that bird lets out his roar.
