Anya and Dimitri were taking a nice afternoon stroll through the park in Paris just enjoying the day as they stop and sit on a park bench for a while and begin to talk.
"Anya?" Dimitri asks.
"Yes Dimitri."
"Do you remember when I taught you how to waltz?" he asks Anya.
Anya, with a thoughtful look on her face replies, "You mean when we danced on the Tasha?"
"No, I mean 10 years ago?"
"Sort of…and…if memory serves me correct…it was I who taught you how to waltz," Anya replies, giggling.
"Don't you remember?" she asks him.
"Oh, that's right, how could I forget." replies Dimitri with a grin on his face.
"Oh…and one more thing," adds Dimitri.
"What?" Anya asks with a quizzical look on her face.
Dimitri gets up off of the bench, bows in front of Anya and says, "Can I have this dance?"
"But there's no music," Anya replies.
"That's okay," Dimitri says as he grabs her hand and puts it to his chest so she can feel the beat of his heart, "We'll just dance to the rhythm of our hearts and make our own music and song."
"In that case, I'd love too," Anya replies with a smile and then asks him, "Do you remember how to waltz?…we haven't danced in quite a while."
"Maybe you can refresh my memory," Dimitri replies with a smile on his face.
So Anya gets up off of the park bench and curtseys to Dimitri and as they begin to dance, she starts to sing a song.
Anya singing:
Take my hand, take a breath
Pull me close and take one step
Keep your eyes locked on mine,
And let the music be your guide.
Dimitri takes his cue from Anya and starts to sing along with her as they continue to dance around in the park.
Dimitri, Anya:
Won't you promise me (now won't you promise me, that you'll never forget)
We'll keep dancing (to keep dancing) wherever we go next
Chorus—Anya and Dimitri:
It's like catching lightning the chances of finding someone like you
It's one in a million, the chances of feeling the way we do
And with every step together, we just keep on getting better
So can I have this dance (can I have this dance)
Can I have this dance
Dimitri:
Take my hand, I'll take the lead
And every turn will be safe with me
Don't be afraid, afraid to fall
You know I'll catch you threw it all
Dimitri, Anya:
And you can't keep us apart (even a thousand miles, can't keep us apart)
'Cause my heart is (cause my heart is) wherever you are
Chorus—Anya and Dimitri:
It's like catching lightning the chances of finding someone like you
It's one in a million, the chances of feeling the way we do
And with every step together, we just keep on getting better
So can I have this dance (can I have this dance)
Can I have this dance
Anya And Dimitri:
Oh no mountains too high enough, oceans too wide
'Cause together or not, our dance won't stop
Let it rain, let it pour
What we have is worth fighting for
You know I believe, that we were meant to be
Yeah
All of a sudden clouds roll in while Anya and Dimitri are dancing through the park. There is a flash of lightning and a crack of thunder that makes the couple stop and look up only for a moment and then back to each other. They just smile and continue to dance and sing, pretending not to notice the sudden downpour that has just happened.
Chorus—Anya and Dimitri:
It's like catching lightning the chances of finding someone like you (like you)
It's one in a million, the chances of feeling the way we do (way we do)
And with every step together, we just keep on getting better
So can I have this dance (can I have this dance)
Can I have this dance
Anya and Dimitri:
Can I have this dance
Can I have this dance
As the song finishes, they both circle one another, not taking their eyes off of each other. As they slowly come to a stop, Dimitri leans down and shares a kiss with his beloved wife. As they break the kiss, they stand and look at each other for a moment and sigh happily as another clash of thunder and lightning sounds, bringing the couple out of their reverie.
"Anya?" Dimitri says
"Yes," Anya answers in reply.
"I love you."
"I love you too…but I think we better be getting home before we get more soaked than we are," Anya replies with a small giggle.
"I think you're right…let's go," Dimitri says with a chuckle.
Both share one more kiss and laugh happily as they take off running as fast as their feet will carry them for their nice warm and dry apartment building.
