Hello everyone. I'm very sorry for the long wait. I've been having a hard time job hunting and haven't had much time for fanfiction. By the way, Adlarymsi, you can make a doujin of this on one condition… You have to send me a link to it when you're done. Other than that, on with the story.
DISCLAIMER: I do not own any of the megaman characters. All characters belong to Capcom.
Zero and Ciel headed towards a large dance hall. As they did, Zero heard Neige and Croire on his transmitter.
"Why aren't you wearing a hat this time!?" Croire complained, "Where am I going to hide!?"
"Sorry, but I have to look like I'm another dancer there," Neige replied, "Try hiding in the vents or something."
"I don't want to use the vents," Croire complained.
"Why not?" Neige asked.
"Because then I can't talk to Zero," Croire replied.
"Can you please tell me why I'm here?" Zero heard another voice.
"Because every dancer needs a partner," Neige replied, "So play along and keep your hands where I tell you or I'll rip them off."
"Is that Colbor?" Zero asked in surprise.
"Where?" Ciel asked looking around curiously.
"Uh…" Zero gulped nervously, "Never mind, must've been someone else."
"Oh, alright," Ciel replied.
"Is that Colbor?" Zero asked more quietly this time.
"Yes," Neige replied, "He owed me a favor."
"And I'm already regretting it," Colbor added.
"I said to play along," Neige instructed, "Now be quiet."
As Ciel and Zero entered the dance hall, they looked around at the decorations. The place had a nice romantic feel to it. There was several fake, light up cyber-elves on the wall and lots of sparkling glitter on the ground. There was also a disco ball up on the ceiling for effect and the lights were dimmed.
"Look," Ciel pointed out with a giggle, "doesn't that cyber-elf look like Croire?"
Zero turned to where Ciel was pointing. Croire was floating against the wall pretending to be one of the cyber-elf decorations.
"Yes, it does," Zero replied a little nervously.
"Croire," Neige spoke up, "What the heck are you doing?"
"Pretending to be a decoration," Croire replied, "Probably the best one here."
"I told you to hide in the vents," Neige argued.
"I don't want to," Croire argued back, "Besides; I can see Zero and Ciel more easily this way."
"You're in plain sight," Neige argued more.
"Do I really need to be here?" Colbor complained.
"Yes," Neige replied, "Now keep your hands where I told you."
"I am," Colbor replied before whispering to himself, "How'd I get myself into this mess?"
"You're not the only one asking that question," Zero muttered under his breath.
As Zero and Ciel headed for the dance floor, Zero looked around.
"Where are you anyway Neige?" he whispered.
"Under Croire," Neige replied.
Zero turned to see Neige with Colbor pretending to dance underneath Croire. This time, Neige was wearing a white sparkling dress and an old fashion facemask. However, Zero was still able to recognize her by her bright red hair.
"How'd you change outfits so quickly?" Zero asked, "And where'd you get that outfit so fast?"
"A good journalist is always prepared for anything and everything," Neige replied with pride.
"Including blackmail," Colbor complained, "Can I go yet?"
"No," Neige answered.
As Ciel and Zero got into position, Neige spoke up again.
"Um… Zero, this is probably a bad time to ask this but… do you even know how to dance?"
"No," Zero replied.
"WHAT!?" Neige almost shouted before quickly calming down, "Ok, can't argue about that at the moment. Just do exactly what I say."
"Alright," Zero whispered a little confused.
(A/N: I don't know how to dance either so don't yell at me if I'm wrong.)
"First, put one arm around her waist," Neige instructed.
"Which arm?" Zero asked.
"Your left," Neige replied, "but not too low, then put your other arm on her shoulder."
Zero did as he was instructed and put one arm around Ciel's waist and the other on her shoulder. Ciel simply smiled in response and did the same.
"Now," Neige continued, "Just step slowly along with the music and whatever you do, don't step on her foot."
"What do you mean step slowly along with the music?" Zero asked.
"I mean move along with the beat," Neige answered.
"I'm still confused," Zero stated.
Neige felt like ripping out her hair in frustration.
"Just," she nearly yelled, "sway back and forth."
"Why?" Zero asked.
"Just do it!" Neige demanded.
As Zero did as he was told, Ciel giggled.
"What is it?" Zero asked.
"Zero," Ciel giggled, "do you even know how to dance?"
"Um…" Zero replied nervously.
"It's quiet obvious that you don't," Ciel continued before adjusting their dancing position, "here, just follow along with me."
As Ciel helped Zero learn to dance, Croire spoke up to Neige.
"Hey Neige," she said, "I can see a small dessert table here. And look they have…"
"I swear Croire," Neige replied, "If you mention chocolate I will slap you."
"Strawberries," Croire finished.
"That's it Croire, I'm going to… wait did you say?" Neige asked.
"Strawberries," Croire replied before adding, "dipped in chocolate."
Neige covered her mouth as she screamed.
"Now can I go?" Colbor begged.
"Yes, Fine, Go," Neige replied as she sat down looking exhausted.
"Finally," Colbor said before quickly leaving.
As Neige continued to watch Ciel and Zero, Croire suddenly flew over to her.
"Strawberry?" she said as she held up and offered a chocolate covered strawberry.
Neige stared at Croire for a moment before finally shrugging taking the fruit. It was going to be a long night anyway.
Again, I am so sorry for the long wait on this and my other stories. It's been really busy is all. Also, again, Adlarymsi, if you want to make a doujin of this you can just as long as you send me a link to it. Also, I think I want to have Ciel and Zero go to one more place before the final chapter, so I'd appreciate it if you sent in ideas for that. I've also decided to keep Croire's chocolate gag running so I'd also like ideas for more chocolate jokes. Well, until next time.
