[laszlo_jamf]

When; May 19^th, from sunset to evening and beyond! (Just watch out for midnight, Cinderella...)
Rating; G to PG-13?
Characters; Anyone and everyone...and maybe a few more
Summary; Finals are over, the spring dance is here--finally a way for everyone, student and teacher, to relax! All the planning, preparation, and hard work has paid off. Students of all ages and grades are invited, and their teachers are sure to be there too. The school superintendents (read: the Deities) have done their very best to light up the Square. So whether you're from Westerberg High, Trinity Girls' School, Cutler's, Bikini Bottom Middle, or City U, you must have received your engraved invitation by now. Dress is formal, but the occasion is celebratory. Come one, come all. (And even those who aren't cursed may still come to take in the decorations, the food, the entertainment, and the merriment... or they can take pictures for blackmail when this is over.) So come and spend an evening under the stars...

[negativegate]

He can definitely dance, and Rita can't help but think for a moment that they should've done something like this earlier. But forgetting that, she shakes her head, and answers more sincerely, "I didn't think you were, you know."

[blackshadow]

His smile becomes even more awkward when she says that. He wonders if she knows he's saying that he doesn't know anything about girls since she doesn't seem mocking or anything when she says that.

But she sounded caring, so he'll take it as a good thing. "It's obvious, huh?"

[negativegate]

She can't help but wonder if she's screwing this up somehow...But she's certain she understood what he meant! So she tries to shake it off and continue, nodding.

"Well, you didn't go inviting every single girl to the dance." Oh, that's right--he chose to invite her. But that's because they're friends, right?

[blackshadow]

Maybe that's what she meant - that he hasn't been hitting on everyone. ...Which is true. He doesn't think about what he says when he replies, "That's true. I limited myself to just inviting one."

[negativegate]

It's so weird that--again--she can't tell if he's teasing. In her uncertainty, her reply gets a little defensive as she repeats, "You limited yourself, huh?"

[blackshadow]

Hearing her get defensive, he's quick to add, "To the only one I wanted to invite. If I wanted to dance with anyone, I would have come alone."

[negativegate]

For a moment, she almost wonders if that's really what he meant--then decides that she's just being weird; Tyr isn't like that. With that, she thinks more about what he said, and blushes a little. "S-so, you chose me because you wanted to."

[blackshadow]

"Of course," he answers automatically. What other reason would he have? "You're my friend and a good dancer."

[negativegate]

"Yeah--exactly. I knew that." She knew that had to be the reason, of course...It's not like she was hoping for something else.

She clears her throat, mostly as a way to give her a second to get over her awkwardness, then adds, "You know I'm a good dancer now, anyway."

[blackshadow]

An awkward smile returns to his face. At least she doesn't think he's weird... He should try harder to not be weird. "And that's why I want to go dancing with you again. You're pretty fun."

[negativegate]

Normally, she doesn't think he's really weird, but there's something different about today. It's not bad, it's just that Rita can't quite figure it out.

Instead of focusing on that, though, she gives him a pleased smile. "Good--because I'm having a good time, too."

[blackshadow]

Hearing that makes his smile more genuine, and he energetically agrees, "Me too. I really wouldn't have expected you liked dancing so much."

Tyr would blame Klarth for any weirdness he has towards Rita. Because he teased him!

[negativegate]

If only Rita had a reason to blame Klarth! She can't figure out why she's being weird at all, though.

But for now, she's feeling pretty happy. "I had no idea you did, either. I think this is gonna be a fun night."

[blackshadow]

"I think it's good we don't have class tomorrow."

Their feet are going to be so sore if they dance all night... But that's exactly what he wants to do - especially if Klarth decides to join them later.

...And hopefully without any more teasing.

[negativegate]

She laughs at that and agrees, "Yeah, no dragging ourselves to class after we've danced all night." Because that's exactly what she plans to do. She's having a lot of fun with Tyr, though she is also looking forward to seeing Klarth if he stops by.

[blackshadow]

Klarth should stop by; he's Tyr's other "date". Though he could imagine Klarth being a bad dancer...

"Do you want to be out here until the music stops?"

[negativegate]

They'll find out once they see him...Rita's pretty curious to see how he dances now, actually.

"Why not? That's what we're here for, isn't it?"

[blackshadow]

They can dance together as long as a slow song doesn't come on...

Tyr nods easily. "That's right. As long as you can keep up with me."

[negativegate]

They'll all have to take turns in that case...

And Rita snorts. "That's what my line should be!"

[blackshadow]

Yes... Tyr-Rita, Rita-Klarth, Klarth-Tyr...

He grips her waist again, taking a step closer. "Because you'll wear out my arms?"

[negativegate]

All of those combinations!

And that makes her give him a quizzical look as she repeats, "Your arms? Are you dancing with those?"

[blackshadow]

All of them! They're all each other's dates! Or they can make a Rita sandwich...

"I could be," is all he says before he picks her up and gives her another spin.

[negativegate]

A slow-dance-sandwich?!

She's less surprised this time, giving him a little delighted laugh. "So you're just going to keep picking me up?"

[blackshadow]

Yes! The best kind of dance sandwich.

The way she's laughing makes him want to keep picking her up - and a little more than that - but he just gives her a twirl before putting her back down. "If I did more than that, someone might end up kicked in the face."

[negativegate]

Delicious dance sandwich...

Without missing a beat, her feet move to the music again, as she grins and replies, "Then it'd be their own fault for not moving out of the way."
