"I Can't Be Bothered Now"
The lush music swelled, sounding as if he'd tucked an orchestra into the bulkhead. Despite the close quarters, Jon contrived to swing Hoshi in a circle, dip, and dance on. Her cheeks felt warm--she laughed, misgivings swept away in sheer joy.
"I didn't even know you could dance." She'd forgotten how happy it made her to move with another person like this.
Jon grinned and executed an intricate little step around her feet. "For you, I can do anything."
She looked away as his smile had the usual volcano effect on her insides. "What brought this on?"
Jon sang:
"I'm up among the stars
On earthly things I frown
I'm throwing off the bars that held me down.
I'll pay the piper
When times are riper
Just now, I shan't.
Because you see I'm dancing and I can't be bothered now."

Okay, to be technical, it's 100 words if you don't count the song lyrics. Hey, I'm trying to cheer somebody up here, okay? ::grin::
