(A/N: In this chap, the 'ballroom' is located in the Hub. For the purpose
of the fic, I'm saying that the Hub DOES have a ballroom)
They arrived at the ballroom almost 10 minutes late. Sandry had ignored Tris and Daja's protests, saying that it was better to arrive late, so that to make a big entrance. That had set them laughing until Sandry had said it was time to go in. "Remember to smile. You're not going to you execution" said Sandry smiling. Tris and Daja smiled just as the Herald opened the doors and announced: "Mage Lady Sandrilene fa Toren. Mage Daja Kisubo. Mage Trisana Chandler." The contents of the ballroom turned to stare at them as they entered the room. A man stepped up to Tris and bowed. "May I have this dance, dear lady?" Tris nodded, and then took a step back in surprise as the man raised his head. "Briar!" she exclaimed. "Go on then, don't keep the gentleman waiting!" said Sandry giggling as she gave her friend a nudge toward the dance floor. Briar held out his arm and Tris took it as he led her to the dance floor. Sandry and Daja laughed as they made their way toward the refreshment table and picked up a glass of punch. "May I have this dance, Lady Sandrilene?" asked a cultured voice. They turned to see Niko holding out his hand. Sandry blushed and took it, and Niko led her away. Daja laughed as she looked on at her friends dancing. "Daja?" asked a voice in surprise. Daja turned around and saw Frostpine staring at her. "Frostpine! I thought you weren't here" she exclaimed. Frostpine took a step back to look at her properly. "Wow Daja. You look.. beautiful." Daja blushed. "You look good too" she replied. Frostpine grinned. "Me? I'm just dressed as I always am." "Yes, but its not covered in soot" replied Daja grinning. Frostpine chuckled. "Would you like to dance Daja?" asked Frostpine. Daja swallowed and nodded. As she walked to the dance floor she could see her friends smiling as they danced. She turned and faced Frostpine just as a slow song came on. She reached up and placed her arms around his neck as he placed his arms around her waist. They rocked contentedly as they stared into each other's eyes. To Daja's surprise, Frostpine leant closer to her and pressed his lips to hers.
