"Dance"

He enters, the dark wreckage of the outside behind
Hesitant
A figure looks
Towards each other, a link forming
Unexpected
But just how strong?
She reaches, he accepts
The music takes them
The other guests, insignificant
They savour their first steps as one
A masquerade is called
She weakens her hold
He is pulled into the current, unrecognizable
Masked faces, his is now one
A frantic search
She finds him, changed
The music no longer matters
Instead,
The final note is priority
He leads, she follows
Cold distance thwarts the magic
Dresses rustle, low voices scheme
A rumour is spreading, movement begins
The masquerade is off
He is needed in the crowd
To bring order to the floor
To switch them back to the rhythm
Of an ideal melody
She dutifully lets him, and without him
Contributes to the cause
An almost victory, the song is changed
It instills loss, yet promises false unity
He cannot keep up
White becomes grey, a new form is chosen
The guests divide, form two sides
The winning terms-- unclear
He leads a small minority, challenges the rest,
Drifts away...
She stands,
Opposite him
The link between them almost gone
The magic of the melody, all a past
They face each other
He almost suceeds-- a memory holds him back
The party is nearly halted,
Nearly brought to an end
She reaches out, to bring back that first harmony
To help him return to her
The lights shut off
Her hand touches nothing
He is gone,
Once more
But the link still lingers
Hope
She maintains hope, belief in him
She knows they will share the magic once again
A change, the beat of the music
Revolves
New faces, a new rhythm
Synchronization within guests is lost
Steps out of time
A figure emerges from shadow
He reaches, she accepts
One, two, three. One, two, three
Calm resumes
The music takes them,
Binds them
A new melody surfaces
This time, she will keep
Not watch
This time, he will stay
And not let go

AN: *squeals like a little kid* Did you get it, did you get it?! Heehee... ^_^ I love writting "nameless" ficlets... Wanna know exaclty when I wrote this? Last night, while trying to get to sleep, at 12:40... and I finished it at 2:20. The thing just popped into my head out of nowhere!! (I know, I have no life...)
