Now this was the event I was truly dreading, because I had no idea what I was going to see today. I've only met one other Hybride, and she's completely normal. Because the person who thought of her wasn't completely nuts. Anna was super excited about the whole thing. I had the feeling that the 'First Time in Forever' thing was coming out. The Masters knew that this was a trait that I found endearing, and it was my favorite song in the movie.

"I can't wait to meet everyone!"

"As long as you've met the one, I'm OK with it." That one got by her, blurred by the excitement.

So we got dressed to the nines, but put on some running shoes for the trip there. This is the one time I wouldn't mind being able to hail a cab. It's a long walk, and Anna rambled on about who'd she would like to make friends with. I must admit, this was something I really liked about her. She would be the charming intermediary that would make making friends so much easier, if they can just get past her looks.

The fact was that I kept my passion for Frozen hidden from the world because it was flat out embarrassing, and now everyone would know. There was no way to hide it anymore. My only hope was there would be some more freakish people there to out-shadow her.

Not a snowballs chance in Hell...

"Oh, hey look. it's the Zahir's"

"Where, I don't..." Damn, 'Eyeballs' is at it again. As I looked out into the crowd, it seems that Anna was a unique creature among the Hybrides. While I was seeing lots of large breasts, I wasn't seeing anything too off the cuff. But there were some exceptions, there was a Marilyn Monroe. Kinda' cliche', but meh, OK. Alright!, there we go, an Orion. I'd recognize that green skin anywhere. I knew I wasn't imagining her the other day.

Another woman had a very Japanese Hentai look. More big eyes. Saw a couple of Amazons in the crowd too, I always liked those. One had to be over two and a half meters tall.

"Honey, I'm gonna' go mingle."

"Go ahead, Anna. I'll catch up."

"Is that Princess Anna?" An inquisitive couple ask me.

"Yep, one and the same."

"If you don't mind us asking, how did she come about? Oh,.. and I was there for your speech, very inspiring."

"Well, she's the result of a delusional mind, in a way. I was obsessed with the whole Frozen thing. Be careful what you wish for, right?" Man, I could use a drink right now.

"She's very lovely, you must be proud."

"For a choice I didn't make, she was a good choice." That one went right over their heads, ZING!

"She also seems to have attracted quite a crowd." Yea, it looks as though Anna was the hit of the party, she was completely surrounded by guests, answering all their questions with grace. The women were just absolutely fawning over her. I could see them pointing at her eyes, probably giving her make up tips and the like. With her ear to ear grin and her hands folded in front of her, she was the epitome of cuteness. I saw her wave her arm near her face, followed by fits of laughter, HA! She must've done the masturbation joke, and it worked. Good for her. It seems she could converse fluently with these people. Maybe this was the leader they would be looking for, but she was still a baby. As a pair, we could possibly pull it off. I was really awkward in these situations, but Anna looked like she was born for it, maybe she was.

Funny thing was though-on earth-it was always Elsa, Elsa, Elsa. Anna just didn't have the fanbase she did. To me, Anna was the real hero of the story. Although my own twisted view of the world may have skewed my view somewhat. They both made sacrifices, but Anna gave her life for Elsa. Yea, it was just a movie, but now look were I am. Waist deep in fantasy, that's real. If Elsa was here, Anna would probably be second fiddle again. But these people seem genuinely hooked on her, what is it about her that's so magnetic?

It looks as though roughly the same crowd was here at the last meeting, just times two. These people it seemed just longed for a lost love, and their prayers were answered. Anna was a freak among them, but she was a freak that they liked. I was scared that she would be an outcast here, but that's not proving to be the case. I really didn't get to talk to her much for the rest of the evening. That is, until the Quartet began to play.

It seems that some of resident musicians had taken my advise and got together, I couldn't be happier. They broke out some Beethoven from the Middle Quartets. While I never paid too much attention to the individual pieces, I recognized the work, I had a collection from Hungary with these pieces on it. They were joined by a horn section, then they broke out the Strauss Waltzes, the Blue Danube started to play and I saw Anna run up to me;

"Let's dance, shall we?"

"Oh, wait Anna, I don..."

"Come on!" Too late, she was dragging me out to the floor. It wasn't a complete disaster. I learned square dancing when I was a kid, but that was fifty years ago.

She, on the other hand, was a complete natural. How she learned this, I have no idea. I don't ever remember seeing her practice, but she did seem to have a good sense of rhythm. Maybe she just has pre-programmed natural abilities. Another strange thing that leaves me baffled. I did manage to get one good twirl out of her, her skirt fanning out as she spun.

"See, you're not too bad, and at least you're not trampling my feet." The fact was that's only because they were so small they were a hard target to hit.

This moment brought back a dream I had as a teenager. I can't remember her name, but there was this girl I would talk to on the bus ride home after school. She had the same piercing eyes as Minoo. I dreamt of that girl in a ballroom gown while I swept her across the floor to this very same music. Now I'm doing it with someone who is ten times more beautiful, and I felt as if my heart would burst out of my chest, so many dreams coming true all at once. Speaking of Minoo, she and the Doc were burning up the floor. If this was a contest, they'd be going home with the big trophy. Maybe they can give us some pointers. But in Abzari's religion, dancing like this was frowned upon, where did he learn this?

In my self created daze, I complete ignored the fact that the floor had cleared except for the Zahir's and us. The music ended to much applause, while Anna and I bowed in the Zahir's direction as I proclaimed to the crowd;

"The Winners, ladies and gentlemen!" More applause ensued.

"OK, Anna, I think that's enough for now."

"Alright, but we are taking lessons as soon as I can arrange it."

"I would be delighted, m' lady."

Abzari had walked over and took Anna's hand; "Would you care to dance, your Highness?"

"Charmed." And off they went. It's one thing to see your dance partner in front of you. But the view from afar gives you another perspective, a chance to see her from a different angle, and I found myself mesmerized. She was such a vision, I hope we get to do this forever. Why did we ever stop doing this? This is what the human race needed. Interaction. Beauty. Enlightenment. Joy. Why did we tolerate the existence we got handed? Were only a select few people supposed to have this kind of enjoyment? This should be for everybody.

Now that is what concerns me. Not everyone is here. Some of us are still camped out, huddling in their houses, afraid to come out. We have to reach out to them-we're in this together-we need them.

The evening wrapped up with a few people stopping by to say how much they liked my speech, and to Anna came complements on her dancing and how charming she was. We did make some inroads here and I figured these were good things. But disaster hangs over my head like a piano being hoisted into a ten story building, and sooner or later it will fall.
