Harry Fouls Up
The next evening, at 7:30 PM, the members of the Blitz Team walked into the dance hall. They were the first team to arrive, as no one really cares if they're on time or not. Immediately, Leena went to the dance floor and began to dance to the song 'Escape' by Enrique Inglesias. Her routine involved a lot of jumping, spinning, midair spinning, and hand motions. Let's just say by the end of the song, Leena was quite dizzy.
The second song was Shakira's 'Whenever, Wherever'. Leena immediately pulled Bit onto the dance floor. "Let's see your freestyle dancing, you were the best of the guys at that," she said.
Bit did feel quite funny dancing with Leena. She had him spinning her around by her finger, and she'd do the same for him. It was almost too good to be true for the young warrior.
After the song ended, Leena practiced freestyle with Brad and Jamie for a song each. By that time, a few more teams had arrived. Bit saw the Tasker twins fighting over who would dance with Jack Sisco. He could see the poor mercenary being pulled by his arms like one of those rubber dolls. On the other side of the room, the Zaber Fangs were trying to get some girls to dance with them, but it seemed as if no one wanted to dance with the 'Fuzzy Pandas Team'. Naomi was with Brad, signing up to be partners in the contest, while Leon was speaking to a pair of girls Bit didn't know.
Meanwhile, Leena finished her rounds, and was heading to the vestibule for a soda. "Sprite please," she said. Leena paid a dollar, and got a can of Sprite, and she drank some of it. 'Better conserve it for later,' she thought, knowing that dancing wears a person out.
Suddenly, a voice rang out, "Leenaaaaaaaa…there you are." And in came Harry Champ along with his sister Mary. Harry was wearing his good tux, the one he wore when Leena shot him out of the sky with the Weasel Unit, and Mary had on her best party dress.
Leena had to stifle her giggles. "Ummm…Harry, this is supposed to be a casual dance, not a fancy dinner party. What's with the tux?"
"Oh, my Leena, to show my love I have brought you this bouquet of roses, and have dressed my best," said Harry. He handed her the flowers. "Please do me the honor of becoming your partner in the dance contest."
Leena suddenly hit Harry across the room. "You moron, I wouldn't dance with you if you were the only man in this dance hall. No, make that the only man on Zi. No, make that the only man in the universe," she said. Then, she went back to the main room.
When Leena arrived, she could see everyone was dancing in pairs. Kelly had won Jack as her partner, and Chris had reluctantly gotten a guy Leena didn't know. Brad and Naomi were boogying near Jamie and some girl Leena didn't know. She had long golden/blond hair, blue eyes, and wore a loose fitting cerulean dress. "Hey Leena," called Jamie.
Leena immediately went over to him. "What's up? Who's the girl?" she asked.
Jamie replied, "Her name is Fara. Her teammate Julianna is over there dancing with Leon."
Leena saw the girl Jamie was talking about. She had short blond hair with blue streaks, and dark green eyes. Her pants were black, as well as her shirt collar and the ends of her sleeves. Julianna's boots were a light brown color. She and Leon looked to be having fun.
While Leena's eyes were roving, she noticed Bit sitting all by himself. Leena walked over to him, and asked, "What's up Bit?"
Bit replied, "I don't seem to have a partner for the dance contest yet. I'm just scoping out someone who would dance with me."
Leena looked at Bit. He was a really nice guy, if you looked beyond his stealing her cookies just to rile her up. And he seemed too good a dancer to just stand there like a wallflower. "Hey Bit, I don't have a partner either, so I want to know if you'd be interested in dancing with me in the contest," said Leena. 'Hey,' she thought, 'Between Bit, Harry, and the Fuzzy Pandas…Bit wins hands down.'
Bit smiled, and said, "Sure Leena, I'll be your dance partner."

I could just see Harry wearing a suit to a casual dance. He's just like that. And I loved Leena's refusal. This was sort of what happened at my dance, well I was the first one on the floor, and those were the first two songs. I was even bugged by a guy I didn't like to dance with me, but he did it while I was on the floor.
