"Trace, you've got this down!" Link said as he watched her dance from the sofa in her living room. "You don't need my help."

"Well, I just thought, well, you know – " Tracy stopped dancing and started blushing.

"Your mom's not home, is she?" Link said, getting up from the sofa and walking over to Tracy. "And your dad's down in the shop for a few more hours."

"Uh huh." Tracy said, staring up at Link.

"Well, that's swell." Link said, getting closer.

"Uh, Link, I don't want you to think, uh, I meant – "

Link stepped closer to Tracy and put his fingers to her lips - "Trace, do you want me to kiss you or not?"

"Wh – what?" Tracy replied, unconsciously stepping closer to him.

"Your mom isn't here, your dad's down in the shop, and I don't think we've kissed since Teenage Hairspray, have we?"

"Well, I wasn't, uhm, going to – "

"Trace, I wanna kiss you." Link said, leaning down. "But I didn't want to push you."

"Uh, right." Tracy said, her breath beginning to become shallow.

"You can't be afraid to ask, baby." Link said. "You were never afraid of Amber and her mom, why would you be afraid of me?"

"I, uhm, I'm not." Tracy smiles shyly. "I just didn't want you to think, you know, I was – "

"It's okay." Link said. "Right?" He looked down at Tracy and she nodded slightly. Link smiled slightly, leaned in a bit more, and their lips met. Link put his arm around Tracy to draw her closer and she stumbled slightly. Their kiss broke momentarily, the couple chuckled quietly, and then resumed kissing.
