The Dance of Love
Neko Sensei sensually stretched and meowed as he walked back into his private apartments after a long ballet practice. He liked to finish off his day of teaching with his own private workout so he could review the "basics" just like he was always asking of his students. The hot late spring day had left him feeling overheated and sticky. This wasn't helped by the fact that as a cat, he was covered in think, luscious, lustrous fur. This fur was great for attracting the "ladies", make no mistake, but when it came to cooling down after a hot, sexy dance, well, it left something to be desired. Neko Sensei entered the bathroom. He removed his leotard, dance shoes, and various sweatbands and grabbed a pink, fuzzy towel from his laundry cabinet. After putting on a blue and yellow polka-dotted shower cap, he got into the shower and closed the curtain behind him, then proceeded to start his bath by slowly licking himself up and down. He was really starting to enjoy himself, when his acute feline ears picked up what sounded like a rustling outside of the shower; however, not being prone to alarm, Neko Sensei ignored the noise and continued his cleansing activities. Then, all of sudden the curtain was ripped back and a small, flying, doll like man appeared inside a circle of illuminated swirling cards.
Neko Sensei screeched and began to sweat profusely.
"Pick a card," boomed the strange doll-man.
"What are you doing interrupting my bath?" cried Neko Sensei.
"Pick a card," insisted the stunningly dressed doll-man.
Neko Sensei thought about this for a moment. If he weren't in the middle of a bath, perhaps he could have used the power of dance to ward off this evil creature, but his dance shoes were all the way in the other room, and without his shoes on, the claws on his feet might scratch the bathroom tiles. He'd just had the tiles redone and he really didn't want to ruin them.
"Well?" said the doll-man.
"Fine," replied Neko Sensei, inwardly praying this encounter would not spell his imminent doom. With a shaking paw, he picked one of the cards the doll-man held out to him.
"Ah, the card of marriage," cooed the doll-man.
"M-m-marriage?!"
The doll-man nodded wantonly.
"I suppose that makes sense, because for the disgrace of interrupting my bath – YOU WILL HAVE TO MARRY ME!"
The wedding proved to be the event of the season. Anyone who was anyone was there. Neko Sensei's guests were relieved that he was finally settling down and prayed that this meant his marriage threats would be a thing of the past. Fool's guests also felt some relief, hoping that his marriage to Neko Sensei meant he'd stop popping in on them in the shower. Unfortunately for all the hopeful wedding guests, the only changes that occurred were that marriage threats became polygamous and now, shower "interruptions" were made by both a flying doll and a dancing cat.
