Chapter 7-The Dance
Mirta wasn't sure why she was at the dance. She knew no boy would ask her to dance, so she would just stand in a corner the whole evening drinking punch and eating the little cream puffs they had out, probably more than she should. Maybe she came because she did have some hope of meeting someone, or maybe it was just because of Stella's nagging voice and the other girls' antics to get her to come. But she was there, and the winx girls plan didn't seem to be working.
"I wish someone would just ask her already, we need to do something!" Stella said impatiently.
"We need to let this happen naturally Stel! We got her to the dance, now she has to do the rest of it by herself, we can't make anyone like her." Bloom said.
"Well there are approximately 42 different love spells and or potions that you-" Tecna began to say before she was interrupted.
"I think she should fall in love with someone without magic, just let the magic of her heart take over." Amore piped in.
"I suppose your right, but this could be way easier if she would just let the girls make a spell." Digit said.
"We aren't making any spells! I'm sure there is at least one guy here who would like to dance with her!" Bloom said, scanning out the crowd. As the other girls started talking more, she spotted a boy walking up to Mirta.
"Girls! This could be her chance! Don't everybody stare! Get back to dancing!" Bloom said as she then turned around and started to dance with sky.
The girls followed her lead and started dancing with their boyfriends around the room. In the corner the boy approached Mirta.
"Hi, is it.. Mirta?" The boy asked. He was pretty handsome, he had brown hair that wasn't greasy at all, he seemed pretty muscular, and he had the most gorgeous eyes Mirta had ever seen.
"Umm.. yeah that's me. Why?" She asked.
"I was wondering if you would like to dance with me for a while." The boy asked.
"Um.. sure. But I'm not a very good dancer just so you know." Mirta said. They went out to the dance floor and started dancing together. A slow song had just come on and he put his hands on her waist. She wasn't really comfortable with this, but she didn't want to move and mess this up. Could he actually like her? She definitely could like him if she got to know him better. But what should she do with her hands? Where do they fit into the picture? Then without thinking Mirta's arms went around his neck and seemed to fit there perfectly. They just stood there for minutes, which to Mirta seemed like forever, saying nothing to each other. The song ended and the boy bent down, kissed her hand, and stood back up. Then Mirta realized she didn't even know this guys name.
"What is your name?" Mirta asked, feeling really stupid. He seemed to know her name, but she didn't know his.
"I'm Scott, I go to Red Fountain." He said introducing himself.
"That's cool. I'm a fairy, at Alfea." Mirta said, though he probably already knew that.
"Lets dance some more!" Scott said putting his hands back on her waist. She still was a bit uncomfortable with his hands there, but it felt right. They danced for a long time, and talked school, the weather, sports, pretty much everything. They seemed to have a lot in common with each other, which was good since Mirta had yet to find anyone who thought that cartoon shows were the best shows out there.
Across the dance floor, Stella noticed the two dancing.
"Hey snookums, do you know that boy that Mirta is dancing with?" Stella asked him.
"Yeah, his name is Scott, he is pretty popular in the freshmen class so I have heard. " Brandon told her.
"Do you know anything else about him?" Stella asked.
"No, I don't pay attention to other people at school Stella!" Brandon said continuing to dance with her. Stella had now turned her gaze away from Brandon and upon Mirta and Scott dancing. Brandon wanted her attention back on him.
"Well I think they look adorable together! I hope this guy won't be mean to her!" Stella told Brandon.
"I'm sure you could take him, he's only a freshman." Brandon said.
"You were once a freshmen darling. Remember that?" Stella told him after pushing his bangs out of his face.
"Yeah, but when I came to Red Fountain I was already a pretty good fighter from training on Eraklyon." Brandon said.
"Sure you were honey. I love you anyhow though!" Stella said.
The night passed by quickly and Mirta wished it would never end.
"Would you like to go on a date tomorrow evening with me?" Scott asked Mirta. Inside she was jumping for joy.
"Yeah, that would be nice. Where?" Mirta asked.
"That will be a surprise. I'll pick you up at seven at Alfea." He told Musa. He then kissed her on the cheek and walked away. Mirta stood there in shock, even if it was only a kiss on the cheek, it was further than she had ever gotten before. She touched her cheek where he had kissed her, and blushed deeply, but she didn't care because she was in love.
Scott went outside and approached a female figure.
"Well, did you get her hooked on you?" The voice of the figure asked.
"Yeah! Who wouldn't want to go out with this face?" he said pointing to his face.
"Don't get too confident. Anyways, the plans are all set. I called them and they said that they would be at the café tomorrow. We are getting paid a big amount of money for this, so you better not fail. She must be completely in love with you so her heart will shatter." The voice said.
"Don't worry, you should have seen the look on her face when I left. How far do you want me to go with her though? I mean do you want me to kiss her on the lips at all?" Scott asked.
"I give you permission to do so once, but only once. And it can't be a good one, because those are saved up for me." The voice said. Out of the shadows Diaspro walked up to Scott.
"You look gorgeous baby." He said putting his hands on her waist and pulling her in for a kiss. She kissed him back and held his face close to hers. "Remember, if we pull this off, we will have enough money to buy anything we want, in fact, I could probably buy my throne back if I really wanted to!" Diaspro exclaimed. They kissed one last time before going back to Red Fountain together.
At Aflea Mirta practically skipped into her room. She was on cloud nine right now. All her dreams had come true. She was going on a date with a very handsome guy who actually liked her back, and she felt good for the first time in her life. She jumped and screamed a little into her pillow so she wouldn't make any noise, but she was bursting out with joy and she couldn't contain it any longer. Finally she pulled herself together and she got changed and went to bed. Today had been the best day of her life so far, and it was just going to keep on getting better.
OOOOH! Major twist! What will happen next? I can tell you right now, her life isn't going to get better, for the time being anyways. I think everyone can predict that there will be conflict, but who is the people that Diaspro called?? That will come out in the next chapter!
