Sarah was walking towards the entrance of the dance, not really
watching where she was going. A tall man dressed in black and crimson also
was headed that way not looking. He knocked into her sending her down to
the ground. The figure leaned down. "You alright?" he asked extending a
hand which she took. She straightened her dress out and readjusted her
mask.
"I'm fine thank you," she said. The figure turned and walked away. "What, no I'm sorry I plowed you down?" she asked pissed off. The figure turned back.
"I think you owe me an apology. You weren't watching where you were going."
"Neither were you," she said back. They stood toe to toe for a few moments. Sarah was nearly as tall as he was, and she stared into his cold blue eyes. The guy's attention was drawn to a girl walking towards them wearing a blue gown. He looked Sarah right in the eye.
"We'll finish this later." He ran into the hall.
"What was that all about?" Tori asked as she approached.
"I dunno- some asshole knocked me down and said it was my fault!" Tori shook her head.
"You should really learn how to control your temper," she said laughing. "I got another delivery." Sarah turned and stared at her. Tori told her about the music box and together they talked.
Dustin and Marah, and Cam and Laura were inside already. Several people were there and were dancing to the beat of the Dj. Tori and Sarah made their way in and the guys all gathered in a small corner.
"Dude, she's either going to cry or kill us," Dustin said to Cam. He nodded his head in agreement.
"I just wish they'd show already." As if on cue, two figures emerged from the shadows. They lifted their masks.
"Hunter, you clean up good," Dustin said giving him a high five.
"I feel like a complete ass in this get up." He replied. The other agreed. Like their female counterparts, they were wearing Victorian-ish attire. Blake was fidgeting nervously.
"You're sure you gave that CD to the Dj Cam?"
"Yes, I did. Don't worry. Like Dustin said, she's either going to love you or kill you on site." Blake tried to laugh, but couldn't. He saw her across the room talking idly with the other girls. She was the most beautiful thing he had ever seen- like Cinderella. He mustered up his courage.
"Alright- it's time." The guys all went over to the other side of the room and got the girls. Hunter approached Sarah.
"I'm sorry I ran into you," he said, his face still concealed. "May I have this dance," he asked extending his hand. Tori looked at her and smiled. Sarah accepted and they all headed out, leaving Tori alone.
The Dj's voice came booming over the system. "Alright ladies and gentleman, we're going to slow things down a little bit with this," he said as he began playing the CD Cam had given him.
Tori's head shot up as she heard the soft melody begin. It was the
song she had written for him. Her eyes peeked out from her silver mask
as she began scanning the room.
"Today I took a walk up the street
And picked a flower and climbed the hill
Above the lake"
She saw a figure approaching her.
"And secret thoughts were said aloud
We watched the faces in the clouds
Until the clouds had blown away "
He extended his hand to her and she accepted. He led her out on the floor.
"And were we ever somewhere else
You know, it's hard to say"
He put one arm around her waist and took her left hand in the other.
She put her right arm around his shoulders. They moved closer until
her head rested on his shoulder and together they swayed to the music.
"And I never saw blue like that before
Across the sky
Around the world
You've given me all you have and more"
He took her hand that he held and brought it to his lips.
"And no one else has ever shown me how
To see the world the way I see it now
Oh, I, I never saw blue like that
I can't believe a month ago
I was alone, I didn't know you
I hadn't seen or heard you're name
And even now, I'm so amazed
It's like a dream, It's like a rainbow, it's like the rain
And somethings are the way they are
And words just can't explain
Cause I never saw blue like that before
Across the sky
Around the world
You've given me all you have and more
And no one else has ever shown me how
To see the world the way I see it now
Oh, I, I never saw blue like that before
And it feels like now,
And it feels always,
And it feels like coming home"
She raised her head and their eyes met. They stopped moving. He
removed his mask and then hers. She had tears in her eyes as he took
her cheek in his palm. He brought her in closer and together they
shared their first kiss- filled with passion and longing.
"I never saw blue like that before
Across the sky
Around the world
You've given me all you have and more"
"I'm so sorry Tor," Blake whispered.
"I am too," she replied. They met for another tender kiss.
"And no one else has ever shown me how
To see the world the way I see it now
Oh, I, I never saw blue like that before"
"I love you," he said as they pulled away slightly. She rested her forehead on his.
"I love you." She replied cuddling closer to him.
"Oh, I, I never saw blue like that."
"I'm fine thank you," she said. The figure turned and walked away. "What, no I'm sorry I plowed you down?" she asked pissed off. The figure turned back.
