The girl with mismatched eyes POV

"Saedii, you'll be fine." I sigh, pulling the dress on.

"I am going on a date. With a Terran." She hisses.

"And I'm going on a date with a Syldrathi." I say.

"IM GOING ON A DATE WITH A BETRASKAN!" Scar calls.

"I'm going on a date with no one." Zila whispers.

"So, you'll be fine." I declare, and look in the mirror to fix up my hair.
I'm wearing a deep crimson dress, cut short at my knees, and some heels.

"Aurora." Saedii grunts. "Can you help me?"

I chuckle, and help her fit into her dress.
It's inky black and hugs her body. She's wearing some knee-high black boots and a black jacket.

"Ty is gonna freak when he sees you!" I cry.

Scar sidles up to me, and does jazz hands.
"Makeup tiiiiime!"

She makes Saedii sit down in front of the mirror, and gets rid of the black paint streak that crosses her eyes, replacing it with black lipstick.

I pause to study Scars dress.
It's navy blue, and is cut really low at her back and chest. The skirts fall just below her knees, and she wears gold heels and makeup with it.

I apply crimson lipstick to my lips.
"Auri? Can you help me?" Zila asks, and I help her into her dress. It's forest green, and she's paired it with a gold necklace, hoops and black boots.

"What do you need help with?"

"What if no one loves me?" She whispers.

"Someone will love you." I pull her into a hug.
"I do."

She smiles.
"Can you do my hair please?"

I nod and put it into a loose, long braid that flows down to her waist.
"Is that good?"

"It's perfect."

"Do I have to do this?" Saedii asks.

"Course you do." Scar replies.

"But-"

"NO!" Scar and I shout, and burst into laughter a second later.

Saedii groans and the four of us walk out of the room, ready for the date.

~~~

"Zee! She's kinda cute." I point out a girl with bright yellow hair and black clothes.

"She is."

"Ask her out with us!"

"No."

"I'm gonna do it." I stride over to the girl.
"Hi! My friend thinks your cute, and I was wondering if you wanted to tag along with us?"

She looks at me, and I notice she has a lot of piercings.
She points to Zila.
"Is that your friend?"

"Yeah, that's her!"

She shrugs her shoulders.
"I don't see why not. I'm Alex, by the way."

"Aurora. Call me Auri though. The wonderful lady that your going on a date with is Zila, and that's Saedii and Scar."

"Sounds cool." She walks up to Zila, and put an arm around her waist, confident as ever.
"Heya, cutie."

Zilas cheeks go bright red.
"H-hello."

Alex grins, and we walk down the street, towards the movies that we were going to.

~~~

Woah.

We walk into the movie theatre, and it's not the HoloScreens that line the walls, spewing a thousand trillion different colours.
No, it's the spectacularly dressed Syldrathi that's standing in front of me.

He's wearing a deep red button down, black jeans and boots.
"Mothercustard." I breathe.

I walk up to him.
"Hey."

"Um. You look beautiful, Be'shmai."

I smile, and pull him down for a kiss, but it's interrupted by Saedii and Fin.
"That's my brother, Auri!"
"That's my sister, Kal!"

I giggle.
"Until later."

He smirks.

"Um, exCUSE ME, TYLER JONES, BUT I CAN EAT WAY MORE POPCORN THAN YOU!" Saedii shouts.

"OH REALLY? BRING. IT. ON!" He shouts back, and they sprint to the popcorn stand.
I can practically hear Scar and Fin rolling their eyes.

I see Alex whisper something to Zila, and she gives off a soft, cute giggle.

"We should probably sit down before someone gets killed." Scar says.

Fin sits down, and Scar sits on his lap.
"I'm not complaining." He says.

"OI! FINIAN, SCARLETT, GET YOUR UNHOLY BOOTY OFF MY SQUADMATE!" Ty screams.

"Ugh, fiiiine." She gets off Fin and sits next to him, just as the lights go low and the music peaks.
The movie is starting.

Kal sits next to me and I grip his hand tightly.
He gives me a dorky smile, and I can't help but grin back.

I can hear Ty and Saedii bickering quietly in the background, and Zilas quiet laughs.

I almost burst out laughing when there's a plot twist and Fin whispers,
"Fucking knew it."

"Shut your Betraskan ass up you couldn't tell a giraffe from a dragon." Scar retorts.

"Yes I can."

"Prove it."

"Uuuuuh-"

"Called it."

"ExcUSE YOU I WAS THINKING!"

"With what brain cells?"

"I have four, thank you. Their called Shut The Fuck Up."

"Oh really? You can tell your fake ass brain cells to-"

"Children!" Alex chides.
"Keep the fighting to a minimum, please. Your foul mouths can fight later."

"Um-"

Alex puts a finger to Scars lips.
"Shut."

"Rude." Fin mutters.

Alex's voice goes dead cold.
"Don't even start, 'traskan."

Fin gulps and shuts up, and I shoot Kal a scared look.
"I like her." He says.

I put a hand to my chest.
"That's mean."

"Uuh, I love you more..?"

"mORE?"

"Uuuuuh-"

I sigh, and turn my head away from him, but whip my head around a second later and kiss him.
"It's okay."

~~~

The movie finished ages ago, and we're all now walking down the street, towards home.

Kal lifts our intertwined hands, and I spin under it, giggling.

He grabs my waist and dips me.

"When did you know how to dance?" I splutter.

"I don't!" He chuckles, and spins me around again.

My heel catches on metal, and I trip.
"Oh sh-"

Kal catches me, though, saving me from sudden doom.
"Now, I can't let you fall for someone else, can I?"

I'm speechless.

Holy cake, I'm so in love with him.
