A Little Fun Never Hurt Anyone

[Tiffany]

Belle laughed sweetly at Jaden's remark. "If you become that famous, then I get the first autograph and rights to your talent!" She exclaimed happily. She sighed when the song ended. "You want to go sit back down?" She asked him as she stepped off the dance floor. She saw Valerie talking to a cute cowboy. It seemed she had an admirer. Belle winked at Valerie and jumped, startled, when Roxanna said something loudly. Belle laughed when Roxanna clamped her hand over her mouth, meaning she didnt want to say that as loudly as she did. She walked over to the two, and leaned down to their eye level, since they were sitting down. "What is decided? " She asked playfully.

[•Mouse•]

Val felt herself smile a bit more, hearing him ask her to accompany him for the rest of the night. Why shouldn't she? She was alone he was alone, it was like magic and clockwork, no better yet, serendipity. She seemed to have been finding good luck with picking valuable things up through-out the whole night. It was making her happier then she had been for sometime now. " Well, I dos suppose accompaning you would be ten times better thenm being alone. As for dancing, let's go!" She said. She had wanted to dance this whole time. Infact, she had been longing for a dance partner as soon as she had started watching her sister and Carmela dance. The girl stood, her dress falling to the appropriate length and a tender hand reached out to help him stand.

"Eh, Uhm. Nooothing." Roxanna danced around the question as best she could and pulled Carmela close to continue there discussion in a whisper. Carmela and Roxanna had now entered a whole new debate of how they were going to ask Belle and Val sopmething dreadfully important. It was even discussed who would ask who. It was becoming another heated conversation that took their minds off the world around them.

[Marr-ee]

So, she actually wants to accompany me? That's awsome! I can't beleive it. I'm so lucky! I wonder if she wants to hang out later? He contemplated his questions in his head as he listened to her sweet voice. "Well, ready to go or what?" He laughed as he saw her eagerness to go out to the dance floor. He watched as she got up and looked at her dress. It was amazing. He smiled at her when she reached her hand out to him. "Well, i think it really should be the other way around.. Me asking for your hand to get up, but hey... It's cool with me!" Anthony took her hand and got up. He stumbled a bit getting back into the groove of the boots. "I'm definatly going to have a blister!" He laughed as he took her out to the dancefloor listening to the fast paced music and started to dance around. It was uncanny how he moved, but it seemed to go with the beat. His eye's were on her the whole time. "Having fun?"

[•Mouse•]

" Yes, actually. I am, for the first time in a very long time. Thank you!" She laughed softly. Her dress jerked to life and shortened to her knees to make dancing easier. And smiling she slipped her feet out of her own shoes and put them by the table before her had dragged her to the dance floor. "You should take those off to avoid hurting yourself." She chuckled. As she danced, her hips and body moved in beat with the music. Her bare feet touched the marble floor and at first seemed cold. He wasn't the only one who seemed fixated. Her lavender eyes settled on his while she danced, not exactly thinking of much other than dancing. One: I'm lucky to have a handsome young man as company. Two: He can dance! Three: That outfit is very flattering on him...Very.[/i] Her mind danced around these thoughts as she laughed softly, enjoying herself. That rushed had coursed through her body, the one she had wanted to feel while watching her sister. That fever that control her every step, and move as she danced closer to Anthony.

[Marr-ee]

"I'm very glad that your having a good time. I am too... Already!" He replied under his breath as he still tried to dance to the music. He looked down for a moment at her bare feet, then thought about his boots. I really hope that I don't step on her feet. That's the last thing I need is to carry my company around, like a damsel in distress... Wait - That wouldn't be a bad idea! He caught himself laughing slightly at her comment on his shoes. "Well, I'll try to deal with them for a while.... I can stand it for now!" He told her, halfmuffled by the music. He watched her dance, entranced with her movements. IT was almost amazing at how she moved. So - so... perfectly. He noticed her getting closer to him and he took that as a positive reaction. He moved closer as well, letting his body be only inches from her. He moved around and let one of his hands touch her waist. He looked to her face for a quesiton if it was alright.

[•Mouse•]

Valerie's laugh brought another smile to her lips as she danced. " If you say so." She chuckled about his comment concerning the shoes. Upon feeling his hand at her waist she didn't seemed phased at all and nodded her head to reassure him that it was fine. An arm reached up and settled over his shoulder, fore-arm resting on it gently. It was the opposite arm that he used to touch her waist, making a strange and very small rectangle between the two. That very hand grasped the back of his neck for the fact it could as she danced to the music.

She was enjoying herself. Actually having lots of fun. And it wasn't with a girl, normally it was with one of her friends. But no, it was just her and Anthony and that was all she needed right now. Fun, music, dancing. Her mind left the thoughts of having to deal with all the issues of being a big sister and the only thing a young teen had. She let the worries of taking care of her sister disappear, knowing Roxanna was with Carmela and therefore pretty much safe. And if she needed to, Val would go to her sister to protect the only thing she had left as family. For a moment, Val contimplated telling the boy the sad histroy of why she is always with her younger sister. But, not now. Now was time for fun, possibly even romance.

[Marr-ee]

Anthony was surprised that his hand on her waist didn't bother her, instead it only added when she placed her hand on his shoulder, then around his neck, creating a chill down his back feeling like there was something there. Tonight was going to be the best night ever. He let his body move with hers, being as one with the music. It seemed like the night never ended, but he didn't want it to. He was already having to much fun... on the first dance!!!
"Well, I gotta say... Your amazing!" He told her pulling her closer to him, the beat of the music seemed to get a faster beat to it and Anthony followed it, letting his hand on her waist seem to hold on tighter to her so he didn't loose her with the background sound. His eye's connected with hers. His movements got faster.

[•Mouse•]

" Why, thank you. You're not so bad yourself." She laughed softly and felt him pull her close. When the music picked up and faster rythem, she did too.The movement of the bnoth Anthony and Valerie seemed to be in perfect time with one another. The hand about his neck seemed to tangle it's fingers with the hair their and gently play with strands as the slide between her slightly chilled fingers.

" I don't believe I found this out the first time we met, what happens to be your powers? As you might have noticed, I can animate my hair, clothes and jewelry." She asked, but it was just to hear his voice again. She had to raise her voice a bit so he could hear, but it still was a soft and gentle caress on the ears. Just as his had done, her light eyes locked with his as she continued to move her body to the music.

[Marr-ee]

Anthony grinned inevitably at her comment, now allowing himself to gain a big head. A tingleing chill was sent down his back feeling her play with his hair. His rustic look of a cowboy seemed to get him somewhere. Interestingly enough, he was satisfied with his selection. "Well.. My powers? My ... My... If we were outside, I would be able to show you what I can do... I control the earth. You know.. the dirt... the ground...the movement of the ground in which we...stand..." He said giving his voice a hushed tone leaning in to her. "You look nice tonight... Very good choise of an outfit!" He told her as he moved his face away from hers and listened as the song ended. "Well, My dear Val... Seems like the song has ended.. Would you like something to drink or wait for the next dance to start?" His eye's darted back and forth from her eye's.

[•Mouse•]

" Uh-huh." Her reply seemed half hearted as she listend to him speak. As he drew nearer and closer and closer, she came to the conclusion he might kiss her. A little closer.[/i] Her mind had egged him on. But when he pulled back, a soft upset sigh almost escaped. She stopped herself and looked up as the music stopped. Pressing rewind she thought of the compliment. " I thought it was nice as well. Thank you. But I have to say, you look wonderful as well." She explained, a smile on her face. Forcing herself to forget her disappointment, she kept her eyes on his as they stopped moving. Her hand slipped down his chest and fell to her side as she looked about wondering which to do.

Wait for another song and dance, get a drink. Dance, get a drink. Ain't that the eternal question.[/i] Her mind sounded like it was contimplating Goopers or Raisenettes. But, for some reason the dryness in her throat and the fact she was a bit short of breathe won the battle. A drink seemed like her best bet. " I'd have to say a drink would be best right about now." She advised, her breathing was a bit heavy. She laughed a bit at how winded she sounded, but it was to expected from someone who had been dancing.

[Marr-ee]

Anthony nodded to her, escorting her off the dance floor and over to the table that they were at the first time. "I'll be right back with the drinks..." He left her standing and he walked over to the table with the refreshments. He caught himself letting out a huge sigh. I can't beleive it... I was so ready to kiss her, but now it's not there.. I wonder if Itake her away from this, maybe somewhere we can talk, maybe? Maybe! LEtting his decicion stick to his thoughts, he grabbed two cups of punch, the red kind that dances always serve, and smelled his cup. "Stinks.. but I hope it tastes good..." He said as he took a quick sip. The last thing he wanted to do was bring a drink that didn't taste good to his 'date'. With a reasurring swallow, he was surprised it tasted fine. "Well, Val... I think we might take a break outside... and come back in a little while." He talked to himself outloud and walked back to the table where he left his dancing beauty. "Well, I got the drinks, but I want you to come with me!" He said giving her, her cup and grabbing her free hand. His hand interlocked with hers as he led her out of the dance room.

[•Mouse•]

Damn him, he was teasing me. He had to be.[/i] Her mind raced as he left her standing by the table. While he was walking away she watched his butt casually and smirked to her self rather quickly. Those chaps...work well.[/i] She had to say it at least mentally to get it off her mind and out of the way before she said it out loud. As she brushed those thoughts away, she smiled at the sight of him drawing nearer. "Thank you." Came her soft reply as she took the drink and sipped it once before feeling him jerk her towards the door. " Uh, okay!" She gave a shrug of her shoulder.

Roxanna watched as her sister was being pulled away and sighed. " We'll have to wait..." came the upset statement from Roxanna. Carmela groaned and slapped her own forehead, in a very unhappy manor.
