Hey, eveyone! Thank you for all your reviews for my first year anniversary. It was very much appreciated.

So, I updated..as you can see:3

Read, review, and oh, of course- I don't own anything!

Nagihiko's POV

"What? A dance competition?"

Madeleine and I stared at our dance instructor, his beaming smile radiating.

"Oui! You two are so gifted, after all. I will set up all the paperwork, so all you have to do is say is yes!" Monsieur Alexandre informed us joyfully.

"Well," I began, biting my lips, "I'm not so sure. I mean, if this goes on for more than three months…"

"Oh no!" he quickly reassured. "I'm sure that even if you made it to the finals, which is in Los Angeles, you will still be able to make it back just in time for you to leave."

I sighed and thought about it. It is quite a good offer, so why not? "Sure, I accept," I replied.

"Same for me," Madeleine chimed in.

"Marvelous! Merci, Nagihiko and Madeleine! Now, all you have to do is sign these papers." He handed out two sheets to us before waving good bye. I grinned back and waved. What a nice teacher he is.

"So, the first round is going to waltz," Madeleine noted as she looked at the paper.

"And the final round is free choice," I mumbled. "Well, the waltz should be easy."

"I don't know about that."

I turned to her. "What? Why?"

I saw a blush creeping on her as faintly murmured, "I haven't learned how to do the waltz."

I grinned. "Well, that's ok. Don't worry about that; I can teach you!"

She turned as red as a tomato. "Really?"

"Yeah! Do you want to practice tomorrow night?"

She smiled at me, and I could clearly see relief washing over her. "Ok."

I grinned back and gave her a thumbs up, making her laugh.

Madeleine's POV

"Ok. Now, a waltz is a very simple dance; all you have to do is move your feet in a box pattern," Nagihiko explained as he grabbed my hand with his left and put his right on my waist.

It took every strength I had not to turn into mush. Oh my god, I never have been this close to him. And dang, he looks even cuter up close!

The music started to play, and the familiar tune struck me. I gasped and looked at him surprised as I exclaimed, "Wait, isn't this…"

He chuckled. "Yeah. This was the same song we danced to a month ago. I thought it might be a little easier if we danced to something familiar."

I gave him a bright smile and my eyes gazed at the now empty dance room. It was semi-dark; the only lights filtering were from the windows. It provided a fantastic view of Paris, the Eiffel Tower being the brightest of all. I was wearing a dress, and he a tux, his hair combed out. He smiled faintly as he led the steps to the dance.

I never wanted this moment to end.

I was floating in heaven when a voice pulled me back, "You know, you're really a great dancer. You learned the basics so quickly."

I fought back a blush as I gazed at his eyes. "Why, thank you."

He chuckled. "Welcome."

I grinned back before asking, "Hey, I forgot to ask. What is the song's name?"

"Moon River, by Henry Mancini," he replied.

"Moon River," I whispered, smiling. The tune is so…Paris-like. So romantic, so slow…

The perfect words to describe this magical moment.

I've always liked theme songs for every story I read/watch. So, I decided that the Paris Arc should have one. Please, listen to Moon River by Henry Mancini, and I'm sure that you'll agree that this was the perfect song for this arc!

Oh, and by the way, the saxophone version of this song was the one that the saxophonist was playing when Madeleine was first introduced; it was also the version that Nagihiko and Madeleine danced to in the streets of Paris.

The original version is the one playing in this chapter.

This was actually song that inspired me to write this, so I hope that when you listen to it, you think "PARIS!"

I don't own it, of course.
