Fluffy fluff fluff!

A few months after Todd had woken up; the whole of New World was getting ready to celebrate the beginning of a new year. Haven (it had chosen to go back to being called Haven rather than New Prentisstown) had organised a massive dance in the newly-renovated cathedral for humans and spackle alike, "It's going to be the biggest event in the history of this planet!"

"I ain't going." Todd mumbled, looking down at his shoes

"Why not? Everyone's going to be expecting you there, plus don't you want to dance? With the settlers arriving no one's had any time to just enjoy themselves! Come on, it'll be fun." Viola argued

"I- I just don't feel like it"

"Todd, I can tell you're lying, what's the real reason?" Viola sat down next to Todd, resting a hand on his shoulder.

"Fine. But promise you won't laugh… I can't- I can't dance. I just never needed to learn y'know. See, everyone there is gonna be dancing and I'm just gonna have to sit at the sides, so you go. Have a good time and I'll see you afterwards." Todd muttered, his noise saying VIOLA an' DANCING an' EXPECTING ME? an' VIOLA.

"Is that all that's bothering you? Dancing isn't that hard… I know! I'll teach you!"

"Teach me?" his noise full of asking marks. "I don't think I'm gonna be able to-"

"Look, I'll meet you back here in a few minutes, I'll go put on my things for the dance and come back."

"Viola-" to started to protest but she was already gone.

(A few minutes later)

Todd was pacing the room, his noise filling the room with DANCING? and CANT DO THIS and VIOLA when from behind him "Todd?"

"Viola listen-" but he never finished the sentence. Viola was standing in the doorway in a floaty red dress that fell to just above the knee, her hair tumbling past her shoulders. Todd's noise flowed with VIOLAVIOLAVIOLAVIOLA but he was left speechless. "You look- I-"

"Come on, I'll put on some music." As the music played, Viola walked back across the room with her dress swishing around her legs. "Okay, start off by putting your hands here." Viola pulled his hands onto her waist then nervously put her hands round the back of his neck. "Now follow my lead." She started slowly moving around the room to the music, Todd's noise almost mixing in with the rhyhum

"How do I?"

"Just like this."

"Like this?

"Perfect."
