A long night.....

"Hey Sarah," Ash said quite uncomfortable with Sarah's tight hold on him.

"Ashy you meanie, you dance with my younger sister and dance with the witch but you didn't dance with me." Sarah whined with a childish tone, trying to sound cute for Ash.

Ash laughed uneasily while Jane merely glared at her younger with an annoyed expression. "You do know that he was dancing with me." Jane stated with an annoyed tone.

"And you suck at it, if I say so myself." Sarah commented snidely.

"At least I'm better than you on my first time doing it." Jane retorted with a smirked.

"That was ten years ago, I'm better now." Sarah said, defending her honor as a lady in front of Ash.

Ash laughed uneasily as he glanced at Jane and smiled. "Let's continue later, I'll dance with Sarah for a while." Ash said in an apologetic tone.

Jane was about to argue but decided against it when she noticed that some people were looking at them. She and Ash knew that she was trying to keep a low profile and if she attracted attention, then the chances of someone recognizing her would grow. Much to her dismay, she had to concede.

"I'll get you for this." Jane threatened before kissing Ash on the cheeks causing Ash to blush a bit and Sarah to growl at her and for Elena to gaze sharply at her sister, that moved was very uncharacteristically of her. Jane with a proud smirked and a blushing face, retreated towards the table of shocked people.

Ash shook his head as he pulled Sarah closed to him, much to her delight and began dancing with her.

It was going to be a long night.

(Scene Change)

After four hours of dancing with other people and with each other, Ash and Elena were now outside of the ballroom walking towards there hotel, finally holding hands for the first time in hours. For Elena, it was a relieve for the two of them to be out of that ballroom, the people who was starring at Ash, mostly females were all looking at her Ash like a predator, something she won't stand for.

"That ball was quite interesting." Ash commented with a small smile.

"Yes it was, tomorrow would be annoying." Elena commented with a sullen tone.

Ash chuckled as he glanced at Elena. "I'm sorry if my attention wasn't focus on you tonight." Ash said in apology.

Elena shook her head as she rested her head on his shoulder. "Don't apologies Ash, it has to be done. We need this storyline to be as perfect as possible for our sake." Elena stated with a sullen tone.
