Summary – Their dance was wild and completely their own. Azmaria watches, and wants just a little more time with them… Set during episode eighteen of the Anime.

Dance

Rosette didn't have much time left.

As Azmaria watched the girl she now saw as an older sister and her dance partner dance, she wanted so badly for more time.

It was so unfair. Rosette and Chrono were two of the kindest people she knew, and their blossoming relationship was so beautiful…

Sometimes, Azmaria wondered how they coped. Rosette had told her, once, that it was because of her limited time that she acted so rashly. And although Azmaria hadn't understood then, she understood now.

She just wanted a little more time with them…

But as she watched them dance and heard their laughter, she felt happy for them. They were getting what they wanted – at least for now – and that should have been enough for her.

But deep down, it wasn't.

She just wanted… a little more time with them… Was that too much to ask for?

She supposed it must have been, because she had a horrible feeling that things were only going to get worse from here on out.

So, as Rosette and Chrono danced their wild, infectious dance and laughed, Azmaria found herself with enough courage to ask Mr. Steiner to dance with her.

So they danced.
