The Dance
Narrators View
It's been a month since there battle with Judge. They really didn't know how they bear Judge, but it's over, and now they can relax and…
"PARTY!" Kurt exclaimed. Today was there last day of school, and they were going to celebrate with a party. All the decorations were put up. There were streamers everywhere, Kitty went a little crazy with them. Hank brought in a huge disco ball, which was kind of cool, Scott and Logan went to buy food and drinks. As for Tommy and Sharon, they were just relaxing in her room waiting for the party to start. They wanted to help, but it was a surprise. So they just waited patiently.
"When do you think the party will start?" Tommy asked.
"Don't know the Professor is shielding everything they're doing in there." Sharon replied.
"So what do you want to do till there ready?" Tommy asked.
"I don't know, why not talk about stuff?" Sharon suggested.
"What's on your mind?"
"Besides what they're doing downstairs?"
"Besides that."
"Well, have you ever danced before?"
"No not really. Dancing isn't really my thing."
"You've never dance before why not?"
"Unless you haven't noticed, I don't think I would be allowed to any dances." Tommy said raising his dragonic arm.
"So you never...slow danced before?" Sharon asked hesitantly.
"…No I haven't, would you like to teach me?" Tommy asked.
"Sure." We both stood up and faced each other.
"First, you have to put your arms around my waist." Sharon said. Tommy did so and felt nervous while putting his arms around Sharon's waist.
"And I have to put my arms around your neck."
"Promise you won't choke me." Tommy said with a chuckle.
"Yes, I won't choke you." Sharon said laughing.
"What do we do now?" Tommy asked.
"Well, if there was music, we would sway from side to side and…" Sharon stopped short staring into Tommy's eyes, and him to hers. The two of them just stood there looking at each other. Their faces closed toward each other, there lips just milliliters apart, then…
"Sharon, Tommy c'mon down!" Scott's voice yelled.
"Well let's get goin." Tommy said. So the two of them ran to the so-called dance room, and were more surprised than anything. Streamers cover the place, a huge disco ball appeared in the middle of the ceiling, the room appeared dark but lit up from all the colored lights from god knows where. There was a huge table with snacks and drinks on it, Kurt was obviously there pigging out. The whole gang was in the middle just waiting for us.
"What's going on?" Sharon asked.
"Sharon, Thomas. We would like to thank you for all your help here in the institute." The Professor began.
"So vee vanted to throw you a party!" Kurt exclaimed.
"Thanks guys." Sharon said. Tommy could only smile.
"Let's get this party started!" Bobby yelled. He was the one managing the music, so he just blasted the music, and everyone started dancing, including Tommy.
After a couple of hours of dancing, and fooling around, some of the people started getting tired. Then Hank was on the loud speaker, with a final announcement.
"Okay children. This'll be the last song for tonight. So everyone grab your lover and start dancing to this tune." A slow song came on. Scott was dancing with Jean, Kurt and his girlfriend, Rogue was dancing with Bobby probably for heck of it, Ororo was dancing with Logan which I'm guessing just to place the mood in the room.
"Would you like to dance Sharon?" Tommy asked.
"I would love to." She answered. So Tommy placed his arms around Sharon's waist, and Sharon placed her arms around Tommy's neck. They were both blushing, but thanks to the darkness it was hidden well. Slowly the swayed side to side. Sharon rested her head on Tommy's shoulder, Tommy did the same. After a couple of minutes they lifted there heads to face each other.
"What is it?" Sharon asked.
"It's nothing." Tommy replied.
Don't say that, I know something's on your mind. Sharon said in my mind.
You have to do that don't you? Tommy asked.
Yes. Was her smart remark. Tommy then sent her a mental picture.
Is that what you're thinking? Sharon asked
Yes. Tommy admitted.
Then let me be the first. Sharon said. She leaned in, and kissed Tommy. The kiss must've only lasted a couple of seconds, but they felt as if it was an eternity.
Were you thinking of that? Sharon asked.
No, I was thinking of this. Tommy said, and he leaned in, and kissed Sharon.
Must you act that way? Sharon asked.
Yes.
And they continued dancing even when the music stopped.
