The Dance
By Dana Davies

“Do you know how to dance?”

Smooth Duo…Of course she knows how, all girls know how to dance.

“No. I’m sorry, I don’t.” she said turning back to face him.
“Great! Neither do I!”  He grinned.
“Let’s go!” Duo grabbed her hand pulling her towards the dance floor.
“Do you do this with all the young girls you meet for the first time?” she asked sounding more than a little surprised at his actions.
“Nah, only the cute ones.” He grinned.

Great, you just met her! And the first thing you say lets her know you think she’s cute. Two for two Duo. Keep things cool. Don’t want to scare her.

“Oh I see. So you think I’m cute?” She teased.
“Something like that.” He kidded back.

She’s got a good sense of humor. A good quality in a girl.

He took one hand in his and wrapped his free arm around her waist and began to whirl around the room like a tornado. He knew the other guest would stare at them, but he could care less.

This is so strange I feel so comfortable with her. Like this is the most natural thing in the world.

They danced around not thinking about how silly they looked. He was having fun dancing around like a mad top and listening to her laugh. He could tell Lani was enjoying herself as well. The two danced around a few minutes crashing into the other dancers, stepping on each other’s feet, and grinning.

This is great! She doesn’t seem to mind the fact that the whole room is staring at us or the fact that I’m stomping all over her feet. Now’s your chance Duo. Time to get to know this girl.

“So, Lani, is this your first time in space?” he asked trying to start a conversation.
“No, it’s actually my second time.” She said smiling.
“So…What brings you here?” still trying.

Stupid Duo, this party’s for her…duh that’s why she’s here.

“I think Relena felt guilty for what happened at her birthday party a month ago.” She explained.
“Oh yeah, that’s right, that’s where you were kidnapped, right?” he said realizing too late.

Nuts...Don’t remind her Duo. She probably doesn’t want to be reminded.

“That’s all right, I don’t mind you asking.” She smiles kindly.

How does she do that? I thought only I could read people that well.

“Why were you at that party anyway? You’re not the usual type Relena invites.” He inquired.
“I know. I’m Lady Une’s personal assistant, Middie was invited so she brought me along.” Lani smiled.
“I guess she was just trying to get me to experience something new” she stated with a shrug.

Middie? Wow, so that’s Une’s real name? No wonder she’s had identity problems.

“So, Duo, do you work for Preventer?” She asked keeping the conversation going.
“No, I’m just a friend of a friend” he said flatly. He looked over at Heero with Relena draped over his arm and shook his head.

How can he stand her. She’s so clingy and whiny.

“He really does care for her you know.” Lani said smashing his thoughts again.
“How do you know that?” he asked a little upset that she could see what he was thinking. “I can see it in his eyes, the way he stands with her, and the way he watches her.” She said looking away.
“I’m sorry for doing that…” she added.
“For doing what?” he asked knowing exactly what she was talking about.

She saw that it annoyed me. She can and is reading my eyes! Enough with the games!

“I guess it’s a gift I have,” she explained, “I can see things others can’t or won’t. I see it in their eyes.”
“Sometimes I can feel things that a person is feeling or even see what they are thinking.” She finished with a sigh.
“I can see that it bothers you when I read you. I won’t anymore. It just seemed easy to see and feel through your eyes.” She apologized.
“It’s ok, I’m not mad.” Duo stopped dancing.
“In fact I can do it too, sometimes.” and reassured her.
“I’ve just never met another person who could as well. Especially one who could read as well as you do!” he finished smiling happily.
“Really!” she grinned taking a step back in mock surprise.
“Aaahhkk!!!” she cried as she suddenly tumbled over.
“Lani!!” Duo shouted and watched as she hit the ground. He quickly knelt down to her as she sat slightly sprawled out.
“Are you ok?” he asked shocked and with a slight grin.
“Stupid shoes!” was the response he got.

Well this is turning out to be a fun evening! I met an interesting girl and she falls over standing still! At least this way I can safely say she fell for me!

He watched as Lani took of her left high-heeled shoe to examine it.
“Blast!” she hissed. He saw what she was referring to. The heel of her left shoe had broken off and that was what had caused her fall.
“Stupid shoe! Stupid, stupid shoe!” She muttered over and over. With that she removed the right one and held her free hand out towards Duo.
“Well?” she looked at him. Before he could take her hand to help her up her, he heard Ralena’s voice.
“Duo, what in the world did you do!” She accused him. He held his hands up in defense and surrender.

I was just standing there!! I didn’t do anything!

“He didn’t do anything Miss Relena,” Lani cut in protecting him form accusation.
“My shoe broke and I fell.” She showed Relena the broken shoe.
“Are you sure you’re all right? Nothings twisted or sprained?” she asked looking rather concerned.
“No, no, I’m fine.” Lani waved her off.
“Luckily I landed on my soft spot!” she added rubbing her backside and wincing at the painful bruise that was forming.
“Now Duo. Be a dear and help me off this cold floor!” she stuck her hand out to him again. This time he took it and lifted her up.
“Thank you, kind sir.” She kidded.
“No problem, lovely lady.” he said without a thought. Duo noticed that now without her shoes on, Lani was no taller then he was. He smiled.

Now it’ll be easier to talk to her. I won’t get a kink in my neck from looking up! I got to get her alone.

“Duo, I’m getting a little dizzy.” Lani said still holding his hand.
“Do you think you could take me towards the gardens?” she asked.
“Sure thing, a little fresh air will do some good.” He grinned as they walked towards the large double glass doors that lead to the gardens hand in hand.
Here's part three.
Enjoy.
