Dreams

by SophieWofy

Short crackfic. Izzie dreams she's a successful dancer. I saw a clip of Jill Halfpenny on Strictly Come Dancing recently and thought "what if..?" This is the result of that thought.

Izzie had always had strange dreams. Even as a child, she had never quite understood them, but the weirdest ones had been recently. Every Saturday, the same dream.

Izzie was a dancer. She couldn't dance to save her life in reality, but in the dream, Izzie was dancing in front of an audience, with a rather attractive man as her partner. Not Tom, not Jimmy. Just a random man, who happened to be very talented on the dancefloor.

She would be marked on her performance by four judges; three men and a woman. One of the men seemed to be extremely flamboyant, and kept on calling her Jill. They would praise her each week, though, and Izzie and her partner would get through to the next week.

Then the final. They won. Somehow, Izzie had no idea why, but she got full marks. She was a champion dancer.

After that, the dreams never came back. Izzie attempted to replicate the dancing success at the Christmas party, much to her embarrassment. She fell over Tom's toes, spraining her wrist in the process.

Maybe she wasn't a champion dancer. But at least she could dream.
