Just One Last Dance
"No, Luigi, I told you already: I don't dance."
"It doesn't matter. I can teach you, Daisy."
"But, I don't think that I can be taught."
"Yes, you can."
"No."
"Listen, if I learned how to do it, you can too."
"Could I really?"
"Yes. Now, take my hand. I'll lead."
" … The music's starting."
"Mmmhmmm."
"The people are getting on the floor. They're in pairs, too."
"Mmmhmmm."
"They're going to laugh at me."
"No they won't."
"How do you know?"
"Because I won't let them."
" …"
" …"
"Really?"
"Of course. I would let anyone laugh at my friends."
"But, … nevermind."
"What?"
"No, just forget it."
"Okay."
"…"
"…"
"Well, you know how when you don't fit in like everybody else, people make fun of you?"
"Yes."
"I feel like people do that because they want to fit in themselves. It's like this whole chain of trying to fit in and it just goes wack-o at the end."
"Huh. I never really thought of it like that."
"What are you doing?"
"Trying to spin you around."
"Oh."
"I'm just trying to match you up with everyone else in here."
"And that's another thing. Always having to dance, in sync. It's so stupid."
"These are Peach's rules, not mine."
"I wish they weren't. You … ugh, you know that Peach is just making these dances mandatory so that she can see Mario again, when she isn't kidnapped?"
"When she isn't kidnapped? You mean never?"
"Ahahahahahaha-ha. Very funny."
"Just, don't tell either of them I said that."
"Don't worry, you're secret is safe with me."
"You're pretty good at dancing."
"Stop lying. You're only trying to flatter me, Luigi."
"I'm not."
"Are too!"
"I am not."
"Are too ~!"
"Well, I suppose that if I call you beautiful in that dress, you'll consider that flattery, too?"
"Pfft! Of course!"
"You look beautiful in that dress."
" … Thank you."
" …"
"And you don't look bad either, Mr. Suave."
"Please, I try."
"Do you think that I'm better?"
"Huh?"
"Like, before I would step on people's shoes. Now, well, I don't remember if I did, but am I getting better at least?"
"You didn't step on me once."
"Ha-ha! Victory!"
"Don't get too choked up, princess. You're still a little off tempo."
"Oh."
"But, you are getting better."
"Oh!"
"…"
"…"
"…"
"…"
"The music's stopping. I guess this is the end of this dance."
"I guess so."
"… Hey, Luigi?"
"Yes?"
"Do you want to dance again? You know, for more practice?"
"Sure."
