As the real Dark Mist was in the process of leaving, he felt the strong presence of someone he did not recognize, then he smiled and left.

Alternate Dark Mist (thinking): "No! he felt Astral's power!"

Real Yuma: "What was Number 96 doing here?" (said sternly Astral and Trouble)

Real Astral: "We let him go so you and Double would be safe."

Alternate Dark Mist: "Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to check up on Astral."

Dark Mist said while leaving Yuma's attic, and going to his bedroom. Dark Mist gently stroked Astral's cheek, hoping he would be safe. Shortly after the real Astral came down from the attic.

Real Astral: "You seem upset Number 96, is there anything I can do to help you?"

Dark Mist didn't answer him, he just continued to stroke Astral's cheek. Hoping there would be away to keep his real side from getting his lover's power.

(A/N: Just because it saids "Lover's" doesn't meanimg anything. you as the reader, don't know if Astral knows that Dark Mist loves him. And if so, will he have the same affection for Dark Mist, or will he say "I just like you as a friend")

Real Astral: "Number 96 I know something's bothering you. Please, let me help you."

Alternate Dark Mist: "Astral, please go get Yuma."

Real Astral: "Why do you want to see Yuma?"

Alternate Dark Mist: "There's something I want to tell the both of you. Now please, go get him."

Real Astral: "Very well."

Astral went back up into the attic to get Yuma.

Real Astral: "Yuma, wake up."

Real Yuma: "Do I have to?!" (said quietly)

Real Astral: "Yes. Now please, get up. Number 96 wants to tell us something, and I can tell it's very important."

Real Yuma: "Fine!" (said quietly)

Yuma got up and followed Astral back down to his bedroom, to see what Dark Mist wanted to say.

Real Yuma: "Number 96, what is it that you wanted to tell us?"

Alternate Dark Mist: "What I'm going to tell you is very important. And no one else should know about this, understand?"

Real Yuma: "Yes."

Real Astral: "I understand Number 96."

Alternate Dark Mist: "There's something you don't know about me and Astral."

Real Yuma: "And what could that be?"

Alternate Dark Mist: "Well, you know that we're friends, right?"

Real Yuma: "Yes, but we don't know where you're going with this?"

Alternate Dark Mist: "That's ok, your not really suppose to. Well, not just yet anyway. Me and Astral are... more then just friends."

Real Yuma: "You and Astral are what exactly?"

Alternate Dark Mist: "We are..."

Real Yuma: "Come on, you can say it."

Alternate Dark Mist: "We are..."

Real Astral: "You can say it Number 96, we promise we won't make fun of you or Double. We'll be more surprised then anything."

Alternate Dark Mist: "We are..."

Real Yuma: "Please, say it!" (said quietly)

Alternate Dark Mist: "We're... Engaged."

The real Yuma and Astral gasped at what they heard.

Real Yuma: "You two are, engaged?!" (said quietly)

Alternate Dark Mist: "That's right. I love him with all my heart, and I know he loves me to."

Real Yuma: "Where's you engagement ring?"

Alternate Dark Mist: "In the world we come from, you must ware an engagement ring and a head ban, like this."

Dark Mist showes his engagement ring and head ban, to Yuma and Astral.

Real Yuma: "What's with the gem Number 96?"

Alternate Dark Mist: "The gem would tell others in my world that I'm engaged."

Real Astral: "Where's Double's engagement ring and head ban?"

Alternate Dark Mist: "Right here. He always wares his engagement ring and head ban, he never leaves home without it."

Dark Mist made Astral's engagement ring and head ban appear on his body. Yuma and Astral knew Dark Mist wasn't lying, when he said Astral loved him too.

(A/N: Now you, (the reader) know that Dark Mist was telling the truth, because he showed his and Astral's engagement ring and head ban to the real Yuma and Astral. The engagement rings and head bans are suppose to be warn on their home world. The engagement rings and head bans would show others that Astral and Dark Mist are engaged to be married to each other. Unlike how it's done on Earth, where pepole only ware rings to show that they are engaged or married.)

That's chapter 8, please review. That's the secret, yeah I know isn't that big, but the alternates seemed to just be friends at the begging of the story. Now we know they are engaged to be married to one another. Here's the think about question, when is Astral and Dark Mist going get to married to one another?
