~~~ Chapter 27 : The Big Truth " I heard everything you said and........... " Ace started to say. " and?...... " Lightning said, feeling her stomach in knots. " .......... I-I love you too............... ever since I lied my eyes on you when you joined the academy................. something sparked within me...... that I've never felt before. I realized that being with Myla wasn't what I wanted......... I wanted to be by your side. Yet I didn't have the courage to speak up and break up with her.......... I made a mistake. I should've said something sooner............ I really do love you............ a-and........ " Ace explained, still not finishing his thought. Lightning stood there, listening to ever word he said, turning redder by the minute. " ............... I honestly........ want to make a chance right this moment........... " Ace said. " A change?......... what change? " Lightning asked. Ace looked Lightning in the eyes, getting lost in her gaze. She took her by both hands and held them tight with a slight bit of tenderness to it. " .......... I'm not letting Myla tell me what to do anymore............... I want........... you............ to be my girl friend, Lightning.......... " Ace announced. As Spade, Meg and Cia finally took down Myla and her family, everyone was watching the two love birds in awe. " Did he just ask her to be his girl friend?...... ahhhhh that's my friend! " Meg thought to herself while tying Crystal in some ribbons. " So Lightning?....... what do you say? " Ace asked, looking at her with a warm and cute smile. Lightning stared at him. Here eyes, quill stripes and wing stripes turning a bright and intense golden color. That meant true extreme happiness. " A-Ace.......... I'd be honored to be your girl friend. " Lightning happily answered him, smiling bigger than she ever had before. Students from all over the room finally pushed past their fear of the drama to stand up and clap for the new adorable couple making a start to a new relationship together. " You not only saved the day- but you still managed to do your performance for TWO good causes. " Spade added, smiling at Lightning with a sense of proudness showing through. Lightning smiling warmly in a feeling of an amazing mood. " The gala isn't over ya know......... there's still time for a dance....... " Meg said. " I can start the music back up while the police get rid of these three. " Cia said. " sounds good to me! " Meg replied. Ace's ear twitched, hearing their conversation. Soon the police arrived, taking the male hedgehog and his two daughters away and out of the school. Myla was obviously suspended from the World of Song Academy forever. Everyone was finally safe. There was a few messes in the room left by the damage the villains caused, but it wasn't enough to spoil the entire gala. Lightning was still with Ace, holding his hands and smiling a bit while having a small conversation with the one she loved. " So......... I heard the dance is still gonna happen........... you wanna show me some moves?........ " Ace asked with a smile. Lightning turned a bit redder, giggling and smiling. " Y-Yes...... I would love that........ " Lightning said, tightening her grip on his hands. Ace turned slight red as well and his eyes went to a deep green. Deep green for him was a sign of extreme happiness. Just like Lightning turned gold in certain areas when she's extremely happy. " shall we, princess?........ " " We shall my prince........ " to be continued ~ ~~~
