The helicopter landed in the parking lot of the Garrison, and everyone could see through the window that Pidge was arriving with James in a helicopter. That was the talk of the night.

Everyone cheered when they entered the ballroom. Pidge blushed a bit at the crowd, she was holding onto James' arm for support.

"You can take those off." James said. "I know you are uncomfortable in them. I can find a safe spot to put them." He offered.

"Oh thank goodness." Pidge sighed in relief and quickly took off the heels, handing them to James.

"Don't be nervous Katie." He told her. "It's just a dance." He walked off to go find a safe spot for her shoes.

"I'm not nervous..." Pidge whispered to herself. "I am just uncomfortable... i feel out of place." She sighed. "Everyone looks so natural," she looked around the room.

Shay was with Hunk, having a good time sampling he snack table.

Nadia and Ryan were together capturing the dance on Ryan's video camera, they would probably make a cute video for the internet. Those two were pretty famous youtubers, and a cute couple, even though they wouldn't admit it to themselves that they were dating.

Romelle and Ina had both come stag to the dance, but they were having a blast together dancing in the front by the lights. Romella's dress had all the colors of the rainbow on it, very random, but it suited her.

Shiro and Curtis were standing beside one another, their fingers linked together as they watched people dance, it was their job as the 'Adults' to make sure things didn't get too out of hand. But they kept glancing at each other, and occasionally Curtis would tease Shiro by quickly kissing his cheek and then pretending like nothing happened.

Surprisingly to Pidge, Veronica was there... and with a date. It was Axca, who had flown in with Keith just for the occasion. She had gotten ready the entire flight while Keith flew. She looked stunning, she wore some simple diamond jewelry in her hair and had a long black dress that went to the floor. Veronica looked equally as beautiful, wearing a white and red dress with these killer red heels that she walked in like it was nothing. She wasn't wearing her glasses either. the two girls were dancing beside one another, being quite touchy as they sung along to the music.

Ezor and Zethrid were even there, dancing together off in a corner so they could talk quietly, and maybe kiss a little.

Pidge felt so out of place, why did she even come to this? She didn't belong in a dress, or here at a dance. A slow song came on. Everyone quickly went with their partner to dance. The lights dimmed and sparkles of lights reflecting off a disco ball lit up the room, making it very romantic.

"Katie, let's dance." James had come back, he held out a hand to her.

Pidge stood there for a second and looked at his hand. She had no clue how to slow dance!

"It's alright." James could see the look on her face. "I'll lead." He grabbed her hands and put them on his shoulders before putting his hands at her waist.

"I'm sorry, I didn't even think about He dancing part." Pidge said.

"Why are you apologizing? You are doing great." James said with a smile.

"Why would you ask me? You could of asked any girl here and they would of fallen head over heels to come with you. Why me?" Pidge asked him.

"Well Katie. Every other girl is the same, but you caught my eyes one day. You aren't just some girl who either is too cocky for me to stand, or is too helpless for her own good. You are smart, independent, brave, you don't need someone to lean on, you hold your own ground. Lance said you would probably never date anyone—"

"Well that's the plan. Love is stupid." Pidge interrupted.

"Well maybe you should give it a try?" James suggested.

"Love? But I am not a romantic person at all!" Pidge sajd.

"That's alright Katie." James said. "You don't have to change yourself to have someone love you. I would hate to see you change yourself for a boy. I love you just the way you are."

Pidge looked up into his eyes. "James... are... are you in love with me?"

"Maybe..." James blushed and turned away his eyes.

"I can tell you are." Pidge smiled. "I'm not that stupid."

"I know you're not." James smiles and looked back at her. "That's why I like you. You are so unique, Katie. So unique, smart, funny, and beautiful." He leaned down and closed his eyes and kissed her on the forehead.

Pidge blushed and looked down at her shoes. "James... I don't know what to say."

"You don't have to say anything. Just don't reject me Katie, at least not right away."

Pidge looked up at him, meeting his eyes with hers. "Alright." She smiled
