Chapter seven: Moonlight

Roy the second hopped back into the car with Kiwi and ordered Havoc to drive them to the park. The park? Kiwi wondered.

"Follow me, Kiwi." Roy instructed.

"Okay…"

Naturally, he led her to the waterfall that Ed had taken Coniniaue to. "Oh, Roy…" She knelt by the water, looking at the small minnows swirling around. "It's… Beautiful.""Yeah, I know. Come on!" Roy grabbed her hand and dragged her off.

"Where are we going?" Kiwi asked.

"You'll see, you'll see… Oh, and do you like dancing?"

"Uh, yeah… But I can't really—"

"Even better!"

Later

Roy ran the whole way to a meadow. "Isn't it pretty?"

Kiwi looked around. Fireflies danced in the sky and on the treets, giving everything a serene, beautiful glow. "It's even prettier than the waterfall…"

Without warning, Roy spun her around and then out into a dip.

"Roy, what are you…"

"Dancing."

"I don't know how to dance…"

"Just follow my lead then!"

They spun around for several minutes, staring into one another's eyes. They both seemed to glare a bit, as in alchemy class the day before they had developed a slight rivalry.

"I. Suck. At. Dancing."

"You're doing fine."

"Hah. You're just trying to make me feel better."

"Is it working?"

"HELL no."

"Well maybe you should try to practice more often. A woman as lovely as you deserves to move with grace."

"Romantic, are we?"

"Say what you will."

"I never said being romantic was a bad thing!"

"It was sort of implied."

"Was not!"

"Was so!"

"Was not!"

"Was so!"

"WAS NOT!"

"Fine, whatever. My dad said women like romance anyway."

"That is a fact you can be sure of."
