Chapter 14: Enchanted Night

"Whoa. I must say for a simple dress this is actually quite pretty. Am I really going to be able to get away with this?" Shuala wondered and looked to Elian and Konani.

"It does kinda work... It was the only cheapest to find. Maybe the hair needs work." Elian said and tried fixing up Shuala's hair.

"Hey can you two hear me?" Konani wondered.

"Loud and clear, Konani." Elian replied.

"Konani, Am I really only being a distraction to this party and not actually heisting?" Shuala asked.

"More or less. I set Elian up to take a few pictures and maybe perform the heist if its easy enough." Konani replied. "But we'll figure that out later."

"Well lets get this show on the road now~" Shuala said.

Later at the party, Shuala's ears backed nervous.

"M-maybe this was a bad idea..." Shuala shivered and looked around.

"Uh oh." Elian suddenly said. "You better becareful Shuala I spotted your brother here."

"W-what?!" Shuala nearly freaked and covered her mouth, and hid realizing him. "Just great..."

"Stay calm, Shuala. If you keep freaking out I'm sure Luis' guards will notice you and think you're up to something." Konani tried comforting. "Geez, I wonder if dad and the gang had this problem with your mom, Shuala..."

Shuala took a deep breath as a hand suddenly was handed to her.

"Look like Shuala's being asked to dance~" Elian teased.

Shuala wanted to remark but kept quiet and was surprised to Luis' presence.

"You all right there, Miss. You seem nervous, how about I take your mind off things with a dance?" He asked.

Shuala stared to him and kinda got lost in his eyes and took his hand and smiled. "That be nice."

Konani sighed. "Looks like we might be on a lone heist, Elian... Can you handle it?"

"You can count on me. And by looks even  Alastar might get distracted easy too, cause I think he still doesnt know Shuala's here." Elian said and hide up higher away from the crowds.

Alastar wasnt too far away from where shuala was, he looked over and spotted a lone wolf girl. She didnt seemed all to pleased to be there but Alastar took a chance walking over and offered his hand.

"Would you care to dance, Madam." Alastar asked.

"Tell me your name, and I might say yes." she smiled in a tease.

Alastar stared to her unsure but replied. "My name is Alastar Fox. And your's??"

She took his hand and smiled more. "Emalita Wolf."

As Alastar guided Emalita to the dance floor, Shuala and Luis began their dance. It was Shuala's first time dancing like this but being so lost in thoughts she was able to keep up with his leads.

"I bet you're enjoying the lovely music especially with a singer as famous as Aria. She has a wedding coming up soon, she's a lucky gal. And I must say you're a fabulous dancer, Miss??" Luis asked.

With him asking her name she snapped back to reality. "Oh my name? I-its... "

"Shuala we got the item!" Konani's voice ringed in Shuala ears from the communicator but her eyes widen as Luis leaned her back and leaned to her ear.

"Might I remind who you cause I havent forgotten... Miss Cooper." Luis said as the alarms suddenly went off and he tightened his grip around Shuala.

This really snapped Shuala back to reality, and shoved him back and made a dash for it to be blocked by guards. "N-no..."

"Where you going, Miss. Cooper? Our dance isnt finished yet. Plan to ditch like Cinderella? I'm sure I'll find you again soon enough if you manage to escape." Luis smirked and the guards closed in on Shuala.

Shuala closed her eyes to soon hear a couple zap noise, opening her eyes she realized her brother there before her with the shock pistol out.

"I didnt want to blow my cover like this but if you dont want to get hurt you better freeze or you all going to jail..." Alastar threatened.

Luis stepped back and growled. "Who thought a member of Interpol be here... And the other Cooper too."

Alaster snapped. "I am NOT a Cooper! Its Fox!"

Luis teased. "Pardon me entirely."

Luis quickly left, Alastar was about to follow but looked back to Shuala in realize she was gone.

"Shuala..." Alastar said to himself.

Later back to the hideout, Shuala walked in and trying to catch her breath.

"I.. I cant believe he saw right through the disguise..." Shuala said. "Luis saw right through it all and knew what was going on. And Alastar saved my tail.... Though I might have a lead."

"At least you're safe but whats the lead?" Konani asked.

"Well you mention about Aria is to get married. Luis brought it up maybe the wedding can lead us somewhere." Shuala replied.

Elian thought a bit. "Yeah but if we plan to go there the security might be tighter then what we deal with tonight. Especially after what happened."

"Maybe..." Shuala said. "I think I'll be outside for a moment..."

"Huh? that was weird." Elian stated and watched as Konani went after Shuala.

Shuala leaned on the rail and looked out to the night sky as Konai came up beside her.

"Hey you ok, Shuala?" Konani asked.

"Yeah... Its just... I dont know. I really ended up getting into the dance.. I did see that Alastar was having some fun too... It was quite surprising."

"Well, we did manage to get what we came for." Konani added.

"That's one good thing. But barely managed if it wasnt my fault... I stuttered to say a name and he saw through me..." Shuala said and lowered her head.

"You dont need to blame yourself." Konani tried comforting.

"I'd really hate to encounter him again...." Shuala said and began to think about him suddenly blushing deep red and covers face groaning. "URGH!!!"

Konani smiles, sweatdrop, and pats her shoulder.
