Chapter 2

The dance

Tailmon was standing on the balcony, staring at the stars. Beautiful music drifted out of the main hall. She looked around to see everyone dancing.

She looked back at the stars. They were bright and twinkled. The moon was full and cast a blue glow on her, making her white dress glow brightly. She was so busy looking at the stars that she didn't see a figure land behind her.

"what are you doing out here all alone? I thought the party was inside." a voice asked her. She turned around to see Wizarmon.

She sighed and walked over to him. She threw her arms around him. "Thank you for coming to my party, Wizarmon."

Wizarmon placed his arm around her. "your welcome. But you still haven't answered my question."

"I was waiting for you. You did tell me you would dance with me." Tailmon answered.

"ah, yes. That's right. Forgive me for being so late, Tailmon." Wizarmon said, grabbing her hand with his left hand and placing his right hand on the small of her back.

Tailmon smiled and placed her free hand on Wizarmon's arm. "It's ok." she whispered to him.

They danced together for the rest of the song, smiling happily. When the song ended, Tailmon threw her arms around Wizarmon again.

"oh, thank you! That was wonderful." she said.

"your welcome. I'm glad you enjoyed dancing with me." he replied. "I enjoyed it as well."

"I'm glad." She let go of him and they looked at each other for a minute. Then Wizarmon pulled her closer to him and they kissed lovingly.

Suddenly they heard footsteps. Tailmon and Wizarmon let go of each other and turned around to see Vamdemon standing there.

"Dad, what-" Tailmon began.

"Tailmon, get back in there right now!" he ordered. "it's too cold out here for you to stand around without a coat."

Tailmon slouched her shoulders. "yes dad." she grabbed Wizarmon's hand and they started walking back in, but Wizarmon fell over when a blast of energy hit him in the back.

"and as for you, Wizarmon." he said, grabbing him by the wrist and yanking him away from Tailmon. "stay away from my daughter." he threw Wizarmon aside and grabbed Tailmon roughly by the shoulder.

Tailmon wrestled out of her fathers grip. "no, dad! Leave him alone!" she started crying. "please, let me dance with him!"

"no! you hardly know him, and I only told you that you could invite friends."

"but we ARE friends! Please, daddy!" Tailmon pleaded.

"no." he said firmly. He dragged his daughter back into the castle.

Tailmon threw a desperate glance back at Wizarmon, who was still laying there. He moaned as he slowly got up. Then he looked up at her, and she heard his voice in her mind saying:

It's ok. I'm fine. Meet me tonight in the garden.

She nodded and turned her head back to the party, as Wizarmon pulled himself up and flew off.
