This year's Thanksgiving Ball was the most splendid one yet. The tables were laden with all kinds of sumptuous dishes and the décor was simply exquisite. Everyone was elegantly dressed, having a grand time eating and chatting. It was an enchanting evening indeed.
Then came the waltz. While the others twirled and danced to the music, I was standing out in the balcony, just me and the starry night sky above. How I wanted to dance, too, but just showing up in this resplendent dress and these heels, my usually braided hair now flowing down my back, was already too much for me. But it all comes of attending parties, I suppose…
Besides, I am afraid I was not a very good dancer, or perhaps I am just too shy…
"Here you are," came a sudden voice. It was Samus, clad in her tuxedo. "Don't you want to dance?"
I turned away with a sigh, gaze lowered. "It's all right…"
Hands took hold of mine as she offered me a smile. "No, we're doing this."
And so, we began a waltz all our own. Slow, pleasant… As we looked into each other's eyes, as I saw nothing but love in those mesmeric sapphire orbs of hers, I let go of all my nervousness, as I always did when I was around her. When I'm with her, I feel I can truly do anything.
I leaned my head fondly against her. "Thank you…"
Samus held me closer as we continued to dance underneath the glittering stars.
