Cupid's Ballroom Dance

[BeaterBeast525]

I still hear your voice when you sleep next to me. I still feel your touch in my dream. Forgive me my weakness, but I don't know why. Without you it's hard to survive.
Your arms are my castle, your heart is my sky. They wipe away tears that I cry. The good and the bad times, we've been through them all. You make me rise when I fall.

'Cause everytime we touch, I get this feeling. And everytime we kiss, I swear I could fly. Can't you feel my heart beat fast? I want this to last. Need you by my side.
'Cause everytime we touch, I feel the static. And everytime we kiss, I reach for the sky. Can't you hear my heart beat so... I can't let you go. Want you in my life.

Romy continued to compliment her, making her blush a little. He didn't have to keep telling her how pretty she looked, but she knew that wouldn't be able to stop him. Anna loved how sweet he was to her. Not many people ever treated her like that. It was a nice feeling. "Thanks, Romy. Again." she said, giggling to herself. "You look quite handsome yourself. Don't you forget that." Anna added. Of course, he always dressed to impress, but he seemed to try even harder to impress her for the evening. And it was working. Her bowtie wearing prince had a knack for doing that.

Romy brightened up when she asked about dancing. Anna grimaced inwardly. He really, really, really wanted to dance with her, it seemed. Who was she to deny him? "Alright. A little dance. But I won't stand on your feet. I don't want to crush your toes." she said as he pulled her towards the dancefloor. The girl didn't have big feet by any means, but she was wearing heels. She'd rather spend the evening here than in the hospital wing with Romy's broken toes. Anna gave a nervous smile at the boy. "You'll have to show me the steps. You know I have two left feet and can't dance to save my life."

If you ever find yourself stuck in the middle of the sea✒
I'll sail the world to find you✒
If you ever find yourself lost in the dark and you can't see✒
I'll be the light to guide you✒

✒You can count on me like 1, 2, 3✒
✒I'll be there✒
✒And I know when I need it✒
✒I can count on you like 4, 3, 2✒
✒You'll be there✒
✒'Cause that's what friends are supposed to do, oh yeah✒

Romulus felt all sorts of giddy when Anna complimented him, a grin taking over his face. "Awh, I'm not dressed anything special. I wear stuff like this a lot. It's you who looks absolutely perfect tonight." As they walked to the dancefloor, Anna denied standing on his feet, for fear of hurting him. He let free a small chuckle, grinning. "Anna, I'm pretty sure you're not near heavy enough to crush my toes." He kissed her cheek, taking her right hand in his. Calmly, he laid her left hand on his shoulder, then lay his own hand on her hip. He gently pushed her hip, swaying them both in time to the music. "Don't worry, darling. We'll take it nice and slow, move one step at a time. We can start by just being close, okay? Just this, movement in simplicity." He looked into her eyes, then, ever so lightly, pressed his lips to hers. This would probably be the best Saint Valentine's Day ever.

✒You'll always have my shoulder when you cry✒
✒I'll never let go, never say goodbye✒
✒You know...✒

✒If you're tossin' and you're turnin'
✒And you just can't fall asleep
✒I'll sing a song beside you
✒And if you ever forget how much you really mean to me
✒Every day I will remind you

Rufus smiled a bit. "Well its been hard here without a cute girl to cuddle. Xeno is a poor substitute for you." He smiled a bit at her comment about being a first year. "Well I'm sure your the best first year there." He said with a chuckle. When she asked how he was he put a hand though her hair. "I like what you did with it." He said to change the subject. It was clear he was still down about everything that happened.

Anna shrugged at Romy's comment about her protests to standing on his feet. She just didn't want to hurt him, whether it would crush his toes or not. The boy pecked her cheek and took her hand, getting into position for their dance. Anna looked away, a small smile and a bit of a blush on her cheeks. Romy began to move her to the music, the two of them just swaying in place. This was easy enough, she figured. No complicated dance steps to do or anything. She liked it. It was calming to her. Anna looked back at him, meeting his gaze. He leaned in to kiss her, and she reciprocated the action. After a few moments, she pulled away to rest her forehead against his. "Like this?" she asked. He said they would start by being close together. Was this close enough for him? Anna blinked her round blue eyes at him in question.

ღLook at me you may think you seeღ
ღWho I really am but you'll never know meღ
ღEvery day it's as if I play a partღ
ღNow I see if I wear a maskღ
ღI can fool the world but I cannot fool my heartღ

ღWho is that girl I see staring straight back at me?ღ
ღWhen will my reflection show who I am inside?ღ

Remy pulled back against Rufus' chest, wanting to keep him close to her. "At least you have a cat to cuddle. My cat sleeps in her bed. See, that's your problem, dear. You have a cat to cuddle, and not me. But don't worry. Summer'll be here soon, and you'll not have to worry about ever being gone this long again." She smiled calmly, then rolled her eyes teasingly at his remark. "I'm no better than I was the last time you played with me, I'm sure. Though, I could use a sexy training partner this summer? Think you could provide me with a challenge?" She lifted her eyebrow, being teasingly flirty to the teen. Remy looked deep into the green eyes before her, smiling when he pet her hair. "Thanks, but Mom did it. I like it longer though, yea? More... me. I felt weird with short hair. Plus, short hair can't make pigtails." She could tell he was still upset about the events of last summer, and her words of her own mother probably didn't help. She bit her lip, struggling to think of a new topic. It hit her like a wrecking ball when she remembered the gift she had chosen for her boyfriend. "Oh! I got you something!" She took his wrist, carefully tying on the bracelet she'd pulled from her own wrist. She had found it in a boutique in London, and purchased it immediately, with hopes to give it to her beloved werewolf boyfriend.
"I hope you like it."

ღMust I pretend that I'm someone else for all time?ღ
ღThere's a heart that must be free to flyღ
ღThat burns with a need to know the reason whyღ

ღWhy must we all conceal what we think and how we feel?ღ
ღMust there be a secret me I'm forced to hide?ღ
ღI won't pretend that I'm someone else for all timeღ
ღWhen will my reflection show who I am inside?ღ
ღWhen will my reflection show who I am inside?ღ

Elsie put a hand over her mouth to stop a giddy giggle from bubbling out; she didn't want him to think she was laughing at him. She took his hand gently and let him escort her out. "I'm sure you'll be wonderful," she told him, and looked intrigued by the mention of square dancing. "The waltz always seemed very... old to me," she admitted, taking up the very proper form that made her feel years older. "But sometimes old fashioned is good." She nodded at his question. "Yes. My sisters and I learned together, with an instructor. It was really, really boring; the learning part, and we had to dance with each other, which was hard because Newlyn and I are both tall, and Morven is short..." She winced at the memory. Morven had always been stepping on her feet, and Elsie knew most of the times had not been an accident. "The waltz isn't that hard, though. You just count in threes and dance in a square movement... so sort of like square dancing," she said brightly, one hand on his shoulder, the other holding his. "Ready?" She started to move, slowly, not wanting either of them to trip over the other and end up in the floor.

There's NO BETTER DAY than TODAY to LIVE with LOVE.

spaceEcho frowned. Save Kas? He couldn't do that... he didn't have any right to prevent Kas from being friends with Gypsy... that was more like something she'd do. But it did bug him that she was dancing with his friend... he just didn't know why. He shrugged at Tanya. "I don't see why; he doesn't look like she's driving him crazy... yet." Truthfully, as much as he loved her, and even looked up to her sometimes, Echo did not get why Gypsy was so popular. She was obnoxious, flirtatious, and more often than not she was totally self-centered. She might pull through when it counted, but... the rest of the time she was a total pain in the a**. Besides, why would he dance with Kas? They were friends... well, he was friends with Tanya too, but that was different... right? He scowled a bit. The Ravenclaw was fairly certain this shouldn't seem so complicated. "If he wants saving, I'll save him. As it is... I mean, I'm sure he's having a good time. She's entertaining when she wants to be." And when she wasn't so caught up in her own stuff that she drowned the other person out with it. Which was fairly common, but less so than it used to be. He'd always thought that once she was at school and had a million friends, her ego would inflate to extreme proportions... it actually seemed to've had the opposite effect. She was less... Gypsy-like. Which he supposed was good. It still annoyed the hell out of him.

✯ You say we're both little people and you like it that way, but in time I'm gonna put this body to shame
✯ And grow old, wear a suit like my old man. Pack up all my things and get my a** out of town.
✯ We've got it good, whether you like this town or not. I know it's small but with a big head, it's bound to get hot...

In the summer, but the summer is a bummer if you can't leave this pathetic excuse for a town. ✯
That holds all your memories, a lifetime of crushes and your broken dreams. ✯
To be anywhere but here, but baby anywhere is away from me. ✯

Chris closed his hand around hers and led her out to the dancefloor. Once there, he turned to face her, placing his free hand on her hip. "To tell ya the truth, I've never danced classically in my life. But there's a first time for everything, right?" he said with a grin. Chris began to mimic the people around him, stepping in a sort of square while turning a few degrees with every step. Something like that... Yeah... He would get the hang of it. "And don't worry about my toes, Ani. I usually don't wear shoes, so I'm pretty used to it by now. How's your first year going so far, anyways? Any troubles?" he asked. Christofer guessed that by the end of the night, he'd be running around barefoot. The real question was how long he would last with these sneakers on his feet.

Romulus hummed softly along with the song, still swaying in place. At Anna's question, he perked up, nodding. "Just like this, yes." He kept swaying, gently pulling the girl closer to him. As they swayed, he leaned in a bit, smiling. The amorous young man softly whispered in her ear, a grin on his lips. "I got something for you." He pulled back, lightly kissing her cheek as he did so. When he was in the perfect distance to look in her eyes, he offered a small blue box, near the exact color of her eyes. Shaky fingers opened it, showing the silver ring inside. "It's called a Claddagh ring. It symbolizes love, friendship, and loyalty. The way it's worn tells if the wearer is in a relationship or not. Annabeth... Will you wear this as a symbol of our love for one another?" He took her right hand in his, eyes full of emotion, smile showing the dimples in his cheeks. He hoped beyond hope that she would wear the ring, as he'd spent every last bit of money he had to get it made just for her to show her that he truly loved her with all his heart and soul.

spaceGypsy smirked. Popular? Good. She'd worked damn hard to make sure that she never had to worry about being alone. And she loved having so many potential dance partners... it was so exciting! "I already asked you, though. Can't be rude," she told the younger boy, winking and giving him a smile. "Besides, there'll be plenty of dances, dear Kas. The night's only just begun," she trilled dramatically, her eyes seeming to sparkle at the prospect. She might not be a princess per say, but that didn't mean she wasn't going to throw herself at a prince or two. Actually, not being a princess made the notion more exciting; she didn't have to stick with whoever caught her that way. Fairy tales always lacked a certain... scandal. She couldn't understand it; didn't everyone love a bit of gossip, after all? Gypsy certainly did... when she was in the thick of it. Nothing tickled her more than hearing a rumor about her adrift. Well, except the one about the body last term. That'd been awful. She'd much rather have someone calling her a slut.

spaceShe smiled widely at Kas. She loved showing her gift off; it did tend to come in handy. She never had to worry about not being any guy's type. Whatever boy she'd set her sights on, she could do whatever to make him happy, and it would still be her. Maybe not her her, but her nonetheless. When you could change your face on a whim, and change it back just as quickly, things like changing your looks for another person didn't have the same connotation. "It's pretty nice, yeah." When Kas spun her, she gave him a surprised look, with a smirk. "Didn't you apologize for the crap partner? You don't seem to crappy to me. Seems like you've done this before," she told him with a twinkle in her eye. He'd done this before; often, she'd bet. He was better than her. Hell, he was better than her mother.

spaceHis question about how well she knew her brother made her laugh, a loud almost barking sound, very different from her usual giggle or chuckle. She totally got why Echo liked the guy; he was really easy to be around. Of course, Gypsy had the added bonus of zero attraction to the guy, aside from the briefest moment of thinking his outfit looked hot. Hard to find a guy cute when you knew your little brother did. No need to flirt; no posturing. She didn't usually realize she was doing it, really, but her behavior around boys was always different. Or, had always been before. Kas was different... for some reason. Maybe it was because he was off-limits. "Of course I do. He's my little brother; I know pretty much everything about him... it's my job. Gotta keep an eye on the kid, take care of him. Even if he hates me for it sometimes," she told the redhead, her tone growing solemn. She did, on occasion, think her brother absolutely hated her. She supposed she was a bit overbearing... but it was only because she cared. And they did have incredibly contrasting personalities. It did make things between them tense at times... She supposed that her brother didn't really hate her, after all.

spaceShe snickered when he described his answer to the school's uniform. She was the same; last term, she'd worn a blue and black striped shirt under her vest. This year she was a little more conservative, but only because she was meeting her elective professors and wanted to make a good impression. Next term, she'd be back to "What, I'm wearing the robes, aren't I?" She thought the whole thing was sort of pointless, but as long as she didn't get a detention for her rebellion, she wouldn't openly protest. "I mostly just wear a lot of obnoxious accessories. And my skirts aren't really the uniform skirt; but last years was solid black, and this year's is blue, and I'm in Ravenclaw, so I doubt they'll call me on it. As for the dancing... yeah, mum taught us both. She said 'dance is the language of romance, and I want you both to be fluent.' Which made it super weird when we had to dance together, but whatever." She chuckled at that. Her mother had told Echo that no girl could resist a man who could dance, and told Gypsy that men loved watching the way a woman moved when she danced. Both incentives had been a bit over the top for the younger Lovettes, but Gypsy was starting to get it. She wondered if Echo was as well... he was dancing with Tanya, but she noticed him scowl as their eyes met. Was he annoyed that she was dancing with Kas? Perfect.

Remy smiled when Rufus said he'd never take the bracelet off. That meant a lot for her! "It is there to remember that no matter how far apart we are, or no matter how long we're gone, we'll always be together on the Full Moon, if for no other reason than to give Jason hell." She gave a fluttery giggle, then kissed her boyfriend happily. After he asked her to dance, she blinked. "Do either of us actually know how to dance?" Remy took Rufus' hand, then walked over to the dance floor, finding an area far enough away from the brunt of the loud music so they could hear each other. Plus, loud music hurt her overly sensitive ears far too much for her to enjoy it.

☮ Wake up kids, we've got the dreamers disease. Age 13, we got you down on your knees. So polite, you're busy still saying please.
☮ Fri-enemies, who when you're down ain't your friend. Every night we smash their Mercedes-Benz. First we run and then we laugh till we cry.

But when the night is falling, and you cannot find the light. If you feel your dream is dying, hold tight... You've got the music in you! ☮
This whole damn world can fall apart. You'll be okay. Follow your heart. You're in harms way. I'm right behind. Now say you're mine. ☮

Terren fidgeted with his tie as he hurried down the stairs to the ballroom. He didn't want to be late to his very first Ball! After hearing the news, his sisters went all out and sent him a package with everything he'd need in it. A sleek pair of dress pants, a new shirt, the whole nine yards. Unfortunately, it also included a tie that he never quite figured out how to tie. He always got his sister, Heather, to tie it for him, but she and Remy had graduated so he was out of luck. Oh well. It was fine, he reassured himself. The excited Hufflepuff rushed into the ballroom, ready to party.

Once in what seemed to be the main attraction of the event, Terren looked around, gazing in awe at the amazing scene before him. It was beautiful! The lights and the decorations and all the people all dressed up and stuff! He could see Jess and Toby over there, and-- Was that Remy with Rufus?! His big sister was here! Yay! Terren grinned gleefully, prepared to run over and hug the older girl until the life was squeezed out of her. He didn't, of course, because something else caught his attention quickly. Or, someone, really. Wandering around the edge of the dancefloor was a girl wearing more red than he was, with a pretty dress, heels, wrap, and even tights accented in crimson.

Terren blinked, finding himself staring at the girl before realizing it was his friend Erica. The boy carefully maneuvered his way over to her, squeezing past couples rushing to get to the dancefloor. Once he finally reached her, Terren grinned and waved. "Erica! Hey!" he called. "Wow... You look really pretty, Erica! Red is a good color on you. Oh, look! We match! Isn't that cool?" he added, gesturing to his own attire. The boy straightened the hat on his head, then messed with his tie again. He just couldn't get it right. Oh well.

☮ Don't let go! You've got the music in you! One dance left! This world is gonna pull through! ☮
☮ Don't give up! You've got a reason to live! Can't forget you only get what you give! ☮

Rufus smiled as she mentioned the full moon "Well I can think of other things I'd like to do with you under a star filled night with a full moon then bother the old dog." Rufus smiled getting a bit flirty. When she asked if they knew how to dance Rufus noticed he did not know how to dance but said. "It surly is not that hard, just memory and movement. Practically chess" Rufus said trying to smile as he tried to think of how to compare dancing to chess.
