Hey. Thanks for all the reviews. I decided to dedicate this day to a dance party. No idea why. Just go with the flow. It might be cheesy, so it'll be great if you could leave me suggestions on how to improve it! Thanks for all the reviews, they really cheered me up! Once again, I am kind of brain dead today so I'm sorry if this chapter does not satisfy you. Keep reviewing! Now enjoy the story!

Day 3:

Nudge's POV:

Today was the randomest day I had ever experienced in my life. I got up at dawn this morning, ate breakfast, and got ready to train when Phil and Fang decided to give us a break. They said they had a surprise in store. Usually I love surprises, but surprises coming from a traitor and Eraser are bad news. So I was cautious. Angel read their minds after I told her about it and told me that they were planning a dance party for us that was going to last the whole day. My jaw dropped to the floor. A dance party. That lasts a whole day. That was their surprise? Why would they give us a dance party in the middle of our training? Something fishy was going on, and I was determined to get to the bottom of it. Right after the dance party.

Iggy and Ali came over, holding hands. They already knew about it. After they ate breakfast, Phil turned on the stereo ( I have a feeling that he stole it. I didn't see him last night before I went to sleep) and started to play Linken Park, Lady Gaga, Enimem, etc. I danced with Angel on almost every song. She was smiling and her little head bobbed to the music, her feet a blur. I tried out several dance moves, including whipping my feet around in a circle (which I found out I could only do when I was fighting) and the worm, which actually turned out pretty good. Soon, Ali and Iggy joined us. Ali started dancing with Angel and they looked like they were having lots of fun. I smiled and found myself liking Ali for a moment. Iggy offered to tutor me on dance moves. I accepted and after many failed attempts at the circle thing, I finally got it.

We took a short break at noon before resuming with a slow song. Iggy came up to me and offered his hand, asking if I would like to dance. I starred up at him in surprise and remembered what he told me yesterday. He liked me. But I wasn't sure if I liked him back. What if he only liked me because I was good-looking? Angel scolded me with a telegraphic message and told me to take a chance. Ali shot me a knowing look and lead Angel to the middle of the field, then started dancing with her. They were all turning against me. Now I had no choice but to dance with Iggy.

I accepted and Iggy took my hand in his, leading me to the middle of the field a couple of feet away from Angel and Ali.

"Iggy?" I whispered, looking up at him fearfully.

"Yeah?" He replied.

"I never slow danced before."

He chuckled. "Me neither. Let's just experiment as we go."

I nodded. He put his hands on my waist and I put his hands around his neck. We remained silent until the middle of the song, when Iggy said softly, "Nudge. You're quiet. What are you thinking about?"

I looked down so he couldn't see my eyes. "The duel thing. I know I'm going to be turned into an Eraser. Even Angel is doing better than me. You and Ali...you're perfect. You're going to live. I guess I'm...ah...jealous."

"Nudge, you've been strong through this. You proved to be a good leader. I never seen you cry once ever since Fang captured us. And no, I don't like you because you're beautiful. I also like you because you're smart, caring, hilarious, bubbly, outgoing, and kind. I'll make sure you don't get turned into an Eraser. You and Angel."

I put my head on his shoulder and he stroked my hair gently. He felt him put his chin on my head and smiled contently.

"Thanks. But how are you going to prevent us from turning into Erasers?"

Iggy didn't answer.
