Glimpses in Glitches Lost chapters.

A few ideas I wanted to incorporate into In Loving to where I cut it off,though I couldn't fit these in. Also, the flashbacks have a central not in any particular order

Chapter 1 (Or 9) Twinkle-toes.

It took all night and half the day to reach the witches tower.
As it were, Cain and Glitch were still half a mile off when Demilos wagon overheated.

Cain hid behind a jutting side of the hill,watching the Long coats march by. Glitch imitated him,ducking down by his side.

"This is going to take some fancy foot work." Cain growled.

"Like dancing?" Glitched asked excitedly. "I was once renowned for my dancing. I even taught someone ."

"Not a lot,just a few fancy moves." The Slipper begged him.

He was on his way back to his apartments after dinner,hoping to finish the schematics he was working on before bed. Just outside his door,he ran into the new comer. Ahamo,the Queen called him had implored him dearly to assist the visitor in any way possible. Many thought the queens interest in the stranger was the novelty itself. A bright new something for Her majesty to entertain herself. He knew better.

"Ahamo" He bowed.

"I-I-I-I" Ahamo cleared his throat. "I was wondering if you could help me. The beautiful lady I met at the lake. She speaks most highly of you."

"That is very kind of her" He blushed

"Yes,well I was hoping you could-you invent things,right?"

He nodded modestly (Glitch had never realised how reserved he was when he......wasn't Glitch.)

"I was wondering if perhaps you could invent something to help me dance."

"Dance?"

"Not a lot,just a few fancy moves."

"I can teach you, if you wish."

For the next month,he and the man practiced three hours a day. It was awkward at first,but each relaxed more as they realized this peculiar arrangement had been reached by a mutual agreement : This was for the queen.

By the end of the first month, he and Ahamo found that they could very easily be friends. They were, after all,roughly the same age.18

"I think that's enough." He smiled.

"Thanks" Ahamo nodded.. "I really appreciate this. You're a wonderful dancer."

"Do you really think so?"

"Well I wouldn't go so far as to call you Twinkle-toes"

Both men laughed with joy.

Ahamo for finally finding a place where he fit in,home.

And he with the realization he now had two great friends.

"I mean I m not saying they called me twinkle-toes." Glitch informed Cain "But I cut quite a rug"
