THIRD PERSONS' POINT OF VIEW

"Hi, I'm sorry if I bothered you, but may I have this dance?" A guy asked as the girl flinched and turned at him.

"O-Oh Rafael, s-sure no diggy—I mean—no biggy." The girl said as she stuttered then the guy chuckled as the girl placed down her drink.

"You look beautiful as ever Heather, who couldn't fall in love with a girl like you?" Rafael asked as Heather nervously smiled and they walked to the dance floor.

"Aww, so you are acting like Romeo in the play called Romeo and Juliet now, huh?" She teased him as she chuckled and he scoffed.

"It's because I'm your Romeo, and you're my Juliet." He said as she wrapped her arms around his neck and he places his hands on her waist then he winked.

"Charming as always, Rafael." She said as she playfully rolled her eyes and they started doing a slow dance along with the other students.

"Charming and a pretty good dancer, don't you think Heather?" He asked as he smirked then she scoffed.

"Well you are lucky that you have those moves, Rafael. I still don't even know why you picked me to dance with you when you might've know that I am not a fan of dancing, especially in slow dance." She said as she frowned.

"Oh you don't like dancing, or you don't like dancing in public?" He asked then she glared at him.

"Sort of both." She nervously replied then he chuckled.

"Its a good thing that I am ready, which I have something to show you." She said as they released from dancing then he grabbed her hand and walked to a room.

"Should I be scared or what?" She asked as she looked at Rafael.

"You won't be, trust me in this." He said then she sighed and he opened the door.

The moment Rafael opened the door, Heather's eyes are wide open as she walked towards the room with Rafael. Inside the room are a bunch of glow in the dark stars with LED lights on the sides of the roof, a disco ball, laptop and speakers, comfy chairs and a polaroid camera. Heather felt amazed like she will start to cry infront of Rafael.

"R-Rafael, I don't know what to say." Heather said as she stuttered.

"It's okay, you can thank me later." Rafael said as he closed the door.

"Correct me if I am mistaken, but is this your favorite song?" He asked as she looked around then she turned at him.

Rafael played Heather's favorite love song as she gasped and started to blush infront of Rafael.

[A/N: Play 'Here's your perfect' by Jamie Miller as you continue to read the following parts of this chapter.]

"Y-Yes, but how did you know?" She asked as she frowned.

"It's okay, don't worry about it. Come on, let's dance with our favorite song." He said as he slowly pulled her and she wrapped her arms around his neck and he places his hands on his waist then he winked.

The two of them started slow dancing, Heather knew that this is one of the perfect moments of her life. The both of them stared at each others' eyes with their nervous smiles at each other. Right after the song ends, the two slowly leaned in for a kiss until something unexpected interrupted them.

"Juliet. Juliet, wake up!" Someone shouted.

Everything went blurred the moment someone shouted a familiar name, then Juliet woke up.

"Juliet! Are you okay?" Lauren asked as Juliet panted then she looked at her.

"I-I saw someone in my dreams, he acted just like Travis." Juliet replied as she is starting to tear up.

"Juliet, it's okay take a deep breath now." Lauren said as she comforted Juliet.

"Wh-Why did you shouted my name?" Juliet asked as she sat up and Lauren released her from comforting.

"I-I didn't Juliet, but maybe one the people in your dreams did." Lauren said as she looked at her.

"Let's change topic, alright? B-But Lauren, I think we should save Romeo and Travis from the enemies." Juliet worriedly said as Lauren nodded.

"You know I want to do the same Juliet, but it is too dangerous, especially when they have powers with them and we are both powerless, well most likely the four of us combined." Lauren sighed.

"But we can't leave them like that Lauren, they are our friends, and friends must help each other in any circumstances." Juliet said.

"Look Juliet, I know that either Travis and Romeo or both will succeed or pursue this challenge. That's why they don't want us to be included in the first place." Lauren said as she stood up.

"I get your point Lauren, but what if they are really in danger? What if they are tricked again because of that Maria Greene and her crew? Who would be able to help them? Nobody Lauren, nobody. That's why we should take action in helping them, because we are the last hope." Juliet said then she stood up and Lauren walked in circles.

"But what if one of us would be in harm, Juliet? It is too risky to save them in this situation, Juliet." Lauren sighed as she stopped walking.

"We wouldn't Lauren, besides I saw you with your karate skills the day we were kidnapped. I may not fight as good as you do, but I will do my best to save Travis and Romeo." Juliet said.

"Alright, alright, you are lucky that you are a convincing person and also my bestfriend." Lauren said as she walked towards Juliet.

"Aw, thank you for that, Lauren." Juliet said as she pouted then Lauren chuckled.

"Alright, so how did you and Travis planned to escape yesterday?" Juliet asked.

"Well it would be a long story to discuss, but before you woke up, I did noticed an emergency exit in this room." Lauren said as she smirked then Juliet followed Lauren to the emergency exit.

After two hours, they arrived downstairs of the house.

"This house is huge, it feels like I'm in a castle." Lauren chuckled as they admired the surroundings.

"You read my mind." Juliet chuckled back then she noticed someone flying with glitters behind her.

"L-Lauren, did you saw that?" Juliet asked as she walked closer to Lauren then Lauren looked at where Juliet is pointing.

"What was it?" Lauren asked as she frowned.

"I swore I saw someone flying just a second ago." Juliet worriedly said.

"I'm sorry Juliet, but maybe you're the only one who can see it since you are basically one of the users of the Magicias now." Lauren said as they looked at each other.

Suddenly, a huge bright light appeared right infront of them, that Juliet immediately closed her eyes.

"A portal! Aunt Tia must be here, I knew she would come." Juliet said as she pointed at the portal.

"Juliet Fitzroy, I hope you had a great sleep last night because it seems like you are hallucinating or something." Lauren said as she groaned.

"No Lauren, I'm serious. Trust me, just hold my hand and don't let it go." Juliet said then Lauren sighed and did so.

Juliet and Lauren entered the portal, then as soon as the portal disappeared, an unexpected someone who is behind them turned around and smirked.

"Oh, so you think that you could succeed by escaping this mansion using a portal, girls? Well guess what, you made the wrong decision too, and because of it, your guy friends will be at risk but twice as worse." Matthew said then he left.

Inside the portal

"Aunt Tia! Aunt Tia, are you in here?" Juliet shouted as Lauren turned around.

"I still don't see anything Juliet, are you sure you aren't pranking me right now? Because I must say that it isn't funny at all." Lauren groaned.

"I swear I'm not-" Juliet said then Aunt Tia appeared.

"Juliet! Oh my gosh, its so nice to see you once again, with an unexpected friend." Aunt Tia said as she looked over at Lauren.

"I know what you are thinking Aunt Tia, but I don't have time to explain everything. We really need you right now, and I'm glad you were able to alert with our situation right now." Juliet said as she sighed in relief.

"Actually I don't mind anymore if someone would know about it, luckily I brought an extra Magicia jewelry from my lair." Aunt Tia said as she grabbed the jewelry from her bag then she puts the ring on Lauren's ring finger.

"Wh-What happened? Where am I? Who are you?" Lauren panickedly asked.

"No time to explain in a long paragraph matter, but Lauren, meet Aunt Tia, the guardian of the Magicias." Juliet said as she pointed at Aunt Tia and Aunt Tia waved at her.

"Its very nice meeting you Tia-" Lauren said then someone cutted her off.

"Are they already in here, Celestia?" Michael asked as he appeared with his crystal ball.

"Oh, it looks like they are." Michael said as his eyes are wide open.

"D-Dad?" Lauren asked in confusion.

"It seems like you two got back your connection once again, Aunt Tia." Juliet said as she looked at Aunt Tia.

"R-Right, anyways, Michael and- I.. came here to fix everything. But it seems like you two are the only ones who are safe for now, so we would discuss the plan right now." Aunt Tia said then Juliet and Lauren nodded and they discussed the plan.

1 hour later

"Are you already done with them, Mom? I need to talk to you right now." Matthew groaned as he rolled his eyes.

"Perfect timing, so what is it, my son?" Maria said as she walked towards Matthew.

As Matthew was supposed to speak, they heard a shout from Juliet and Lauren's room and Maria walked towards outside.

"Guards!" Maria said as the bodyguards ran towards her.

"Come with me to the girls' room, it seems like something happened to them." Maria said then the bodyguards nodded and walked to their room as Matthew sighed.

In the other side of the building

"Phase two." Aunt Tia said then Juliet and Lauren nodded and went inside the room where Travis and Romeo are, through the wall.

Lauren sprinkled the temporary sleep magic to Travis and Romeo since they are asleep, as Juliet ran to the laboratory to grab all the ingredients that are involved for the Devilio Magic and throw it inside the bag she is bringing. Michael, in the other hand, distracted Matthew by controlling his mind and at the same time, watching Maria and the bodyguards' actions through the cameras. Aunt Tia assisted Lauren to carry Travis and Romeo, then let them entered the portal for safety.
