Spectrum stopped dead as the speedster appeared, rose in hand. "Um... Thanks..." Taking the rose, Spectrum wondered what to do next. Am I supposed to give him a kiss? I don't want to, I want to give one to Dragon Heart and... Other things. The armour tinged blue, then white, then with head in hands was forced to settle down. "Do you want a kiss?" Spectrum asked the speedster, "I think that's what girls are supposed to do when boys give them roses, but I want to do something else first."

Holding the rose out and handing it back, Spectrum said. "Find me later with this and we'll talk about a kiss or something else, OK?" Squaring shoulders, a firm stride carried Spectrum over to Dragon, a lot of effort going into not letting any colour flow into the armour. He turned, and the effort redoubled. He really was handsome. More handsome in person than in any poster or photo. "Um... Dragon, sir...?"
