I watched quietly while Riley/Selphie talked to Squall.
'How did this happen? I've played the game plenty of times and nothing like this has ever occurred.'
Through Rinoa's eyes, I was allowed to view the game through a totally different perspective. How different everything is! The characters look very much like their FMV modes, only,.,. different.
"Oh no!" I gasped and quickly brought my slender hand to my mouth to stifle it. 'I don't remember the dance!'
I tried to replay the scene in my head. Nothing came.
'Crap! Now what am I supposed to do??' I peered out through the curtain and saw Riley leave Squall. 'I guess I'll just have to pretend I know what I'm doing.'
I put on a smile and walked towards Squall, trying my hardest to act like Rinoa.
"Do you want to dance?" I asked, placing my hands on my hips as flirtatiously as I could.
'God! I feel SO retarded!'
Silence.
'Ummmm.,.,.' "Let me guess. You only dance with someone you like?" I put up my hand and waved it in front of his face. "You're going to like me.,.,. You're going to like me.,.," 'This is so dumb. Could they have made her any cheesier??'
I dropped my hand and tilted my head to the side. "Did it work?"
'Ow! My neck just cracked!'
Squall looked at me like I was crazy.
"I don't dance." Wow! His voice sounds like a mix between Ewan McGregor and Stuart Townsend!
"Why not? It's really easy!" I pleaded with puppy dog eyes, hoping that was something Rinoa would have done.
'If only I can remember it.,.,.'
He started to protest but I took his hand and lead him out onto the floor. I took his hand and placed it on my/Rinoa's hip, taking his other and holding it in mine. I placed my other hand on his strong shoulder.
'So far so good.'
We started dancing, and he stepped on my foot, which wasn't very well protected in the white shoes Rinoa/I was wearing. I grimaced and then forced a smile. We resumed dancing and bumped into each other on a spin.
'OW! I'm gonna be bruised for a week!'
I didn't say anything, merely smiled encouragingly at him. We accidentally hit another couple and I made a face at them.
'Hehehe.,.,. I've always wanted to do that to someone!'
Squall got discouraged and shook his head, letting go of me and turning to leave. I grabbed his hand and pulled him back onto the floor. We started dancing again, this time just about getting it perfect.
'Wow, he is a really good dancer.' I thought as I stared into his deep eyes, almost getting lost in them.
I felt myself blush as the song ended and we were pressing against each other. Suddenly, there were flashes of color overhead. We separated slightly and looked up at the brilliant display. I felt his eyes watching me and I turned to face him. I was so mesmerized by his gaze that I nearly forgot about being Rinoa.,.,. I was just me, Leigh.
I blinked and saw Seifer over Squall's shoulder. I pulled away gently, smiling at him.
"Thank you for the dance."
As I made my way over to Seifer, I could feel Squall's eyes following me.
'That went well, I think. Now I have to wait until the train, I guess. I wonder how Riley's holding up as Selphie?'
What do you think? I wrote this part during the ASVAB at school.,.,. I hope it came out ok! I'm a little down on the lack of reviews and I'm seriously considering stopping this story and concentrating fully on my other one. Please leave a review and tell me what you think!
