*huff* *puff* Three pairings in one, just for you! This is GamKar, DaveJohn, and RoseKan. I couldn't resist doing another dancy thing! And it's a little bit ridiculous. Just a bit.

Or a lot.

Anyway, listen to music while you read this! Anything goes!

The lights glittered from above them, illuminating just enough to provide lovers with small glimpses of each other's faces.

The trolls held each other close as they spun round and round. Occasionally someone would get dipped down to the floor, or someone would trip, or somebody would start cursing, but nobody cared. It was the first time the dancestors, pre and post-scratch, were all in a room together with the regular trolls. Damara was over in the corner spiking the punch, Rufio and Equius were doing an elegant waltz (despite the fact that it didn't really fit to the song), Aradia and Sollux were grooving away, Eridan and Cronus were holding each other crying, and everybody was just having a great time.

Except for, well, some people.

Kanaya was locked in her bathroom, about to burst into tears. She had just ripped her dress. She'd spent an hour picking out the perfect outfit, and now it was completely ruined. How was she supposed to see Rose like that?

"Come on, Kanaya!" Rose said from outside the door. She sounded really agitated. "We have to go! I'm sure the dance has already started, and to top it all off you've been in there for nearly half an hour!"

Kanaya panicked. She really didn't want Rose to see the state she was in, so the climbed on top of the toilet, opened the window, and hopped out.

"KANAYA?" Rose yelled from outside the door. "I'll pick the lock if you don't come out! And it would be wise for you to realize that I am completely comfortable with seeing you naked if I have to!"

No answer.


Why was he not asked by anybody except for the one person he didn't want to go with?

Karkat sat behind the drinks table sulking. Nepeta was dancing with Equius, and Terezi was learning skateboard moves from Latula. Even Eridan danced with Feferi once! And Karkat got nobody except for GAMZEE FUCKING MAKARA. So he'd said yes, but only as moirails. He had said that so many times. AND ALSO, HE DID NOT WANT TO DANCE.

"I'm going to motherfucking ask you again, since nobody else is going to," Gamzee said with a smile on his face. "Would you like to motherfucking get your dance on with me?"

"FUCK NO!"

He overturned the table, and spiked drinks flew all over Gamzee and the floor.

"Chill," he simply shrugged, and walked off. WHAT WAS WRONG WITH THAT SON OF A BITCH?

John came to sit next to him, tears running down his face. "Hey, Karkat."

"WHAT?"

John started to sniffle even harder. "Dave…"

Dave and Jade were dancing in the middle of the floor, the crowd beginning to gather around them to watch.

"I really wanted to go with him…. But it seems he'd rather go with Jade… I mean, I'm happy for both of them… but…"

"WELL THEN!" Karkat yelled. "GO STEAL HIM OFF THE FLOOR! GO!"

He pushed John over what was left of the drinks table and put his face in his hands.


"KANAYA!"

Rose kicked down the bathroom door with all the strength she could muster, only to find the window open and Kanaya not there.

She looked into the empty room, shocked. Did Kanaya really not want to go with her? Maybe she was too scared to say no when Rose asked.

Rose felt her eyes fill up with tears. Well then! She was going to go and dance with Gamzee! What would Kanaya think of that?


Nepeta asked Sollux to dance, and they did this weird techno thing together. Kurloz and Gamzee started doing a ritual to summon some random god. Then Aradia started dancing with Gamzee. SERIOUSLY? HOW DARE HIS FRIEND DANCE WITH ANYBODY ELSE. BESIDES KURLOZ. BECAUSE KURLOZ WAS A WEIRDO ANYWAY.

Which was stupid, he knew, but whatever. And how dare John come up to him with his shitty problems! He was pretty sure the other humans weren't as stupid as John was.

"But Karkat!" John said from where he'd faceplanted on the floor. "HOW do I steal Dave out of Jade's arms?"

Suddenly Rose jumped out of nowhere, grabbed Gamzee out of Aradia's arms, and began to swing him around the dance floor with wild abandon.

"Like tha—HEY!" Karkat yelled, and ran over to the dancing couple. "THIS IS MY DATE, YOU HEAR ME?"

He then swung Gamzee off and began dancing with him. Rose pulled him out of Karkat's grasp and they did the cha-cha, then Karkat dived between them, knocking all three of them onto the floor. Gamzee and Karkat started breakdancing, and then Rose bitch-slapped Karkat, and then the two of them began rolling around on the floor.

Gamzee gave them a puzzled look, and then turned to John. "You look sad, motherfucker! What's wrong?"

John sighed, and said, "I really wanted to go with Dave, but he's dancing with Jade. So what should I do?"

Gamzee though for a second. Then, he walked over to Dave and Jade, and screamed, "FOR THE MIRTHFUL MESSIAHS!"

He then proceeded to beat Jade into a bloody pulp with his club, and John ran over as quickly as possible. "GAMZEE! NO! I MEAN, THANKS, BUT NO!"

"WHAT DO YOU MEAN, THANKS?" Dave yelled.

"I ASKED GAMZEE TO HELP ME, BECAUSE I WANTED TO GO WITH YOU, OKAY?" John screamed. "BUT YOU WANTED TO GO WITH JADE!"

"NO I DIDN'T!" Dave yelled. "IF I'D KNOWN YOU WANTED TO GO WITH ME, I WOULD'VE SAID YES! ALSO, JADE ASKED ME, NOT THE OTHER WAY ROUND!"

"WHY ARE WE SHOUTING?"

Everybody was looking at them. That was, until Kanaya kicked down the door with the most beautiful dress anybody had ever seen.

Rose stared at her. "Kanaya?!"

"Rose? You went with Karkat?"

Rose inspected the tangled mess she and Karkat were on the floor and immediately hopped up. "NO! No, Kanaya! I was just waiting for you… and anyway, Karkat's obviously flushed for Gamzee."

"That's true," Kanaya said with a nod.

"NO IT'S NOT!" Karkat screamed while the rest of the room laughed.

The room returned to normal, and Rose leaned in to Kanaya. "Why did you leave, anyway?"

"My dress was ruined… and I wanted to look special for you, so I went and got another one. I got you a matching one, by the way."

Rose smiled gently. "Well, in any case, I'm glad you're back. Would you mind if I tried on the dress?"

"Of course not." And they walked off together, hand in hand.

Meanwhile, Karkat was blushing bright red like a fool. "Gamzee, I am not flushed for you. Not at all. I swear to Gog I'm not…"

"We'll see about that," Gamzee laughed, and pulled him in for a kiss. Karkat melted into it, and as he did he thought Hm. Maybe this isn't so bad after all.

The next song began, and the floor erupted into life once more, our three main happy couples the first to dance.
