fandomtownies | Summer Dance/Gala Event | Evening | Saturday

As the sun started to set, the lights officially came on at the new community center! The building was now complete, its walls gleaming and solid in the waning light. As people began to arrive, they would notice decorations lining the tiled and bright corridors, leading them towards the large auditorium where the dance was being held.

Once inside the auditorium, there were more decorations. Streamers in the colors of summer hung from the rafters and painted the walls. There were fresh flowers in every corner and on every table, bringing fragrance and festiveness to the room. The lights were low in the auditorium, dimmed to provide both mood and setting to this party in the evening.

There were several long tables stocked full with foods of all kinds and there was even a bar with an expert bartender who'd be happy to serve you. Tips were welcome but not mandatory. Large speakers hung in the corners of the room, installed to provide the latest and greatest sound system to the new building.

Everything was completed, everything was ready so it was time to enjoy yourselves!

"So no free style dancing?" he guessed.

A class or two, but nothing more.

"Not particularly."

He tilted his head. "That's not a definite no either," he pointed out.

"My class covered the basic idea of it," she clarified.

"Which did you prefer then?" he wondered.

"I like rules," she reminded him. "Patterns. Orders."

He chuckled at the obvious answer and nodded his head. "I should have known that, huh? So how badly am I doing?"

"You could be much better," she said loftily.

A pause.

"But you could also be much worse." He was a teenaged boy, after all.

He chuckled and nodded his head. "I never had classes, unless you count my sisters forcing me to," he mused and shook his head. "So how do I get to be better?"

"Practice," she said. "Surely that is not a hard concept to grasp."

He rolled his eyes at her. "I don't know, maybe you should repeat it to make sure I heard it right."

Well, if he insisted...

"Practice," she told him, a faint smile in her eyes. "Until you're perfect."

"Yeah, but who am I going to practice with?" he asked, frowning as he glanced around the room as if someone would pop out to offer.

"I am sure the gym would be happy to help you with that," she said dryly. "Or perhaps lessons will start here."

It was a community center after all.

"That sounds so much more boring," he sighed. "I think I like the dances better."

"Do not expect me to dance with you at every dance," she said mildly.

He frowned. "Why not?" he asked. "If you really don't like it, we can stop now."

"Because I won't be taken for granted," she said simply. It made sense to her.

"It wouldn't be taking for granted," he argued. "Not if you make me grovel every time."

"I did not make you grovel," she objected.

He chuckled and nodded his head. "Okay, you didn't," he agreed and he leaned his head down towards her. "Thanks for dancing with me."
