Jim was standing out side in his dress clothing. Accually it was kackis and a button up shirt delvert had given him on such short notice at one point and time Delbert attacked him with colonge. the rest of the crew was out exploring what he wished he was doing a fancy dinner sounded boring. "well from behind Mister Hawkins it seems you clean up quite well."
Jim turned around a nearly fainted , "S-same to you." Jen laughed lighty and came down the stairs from the bridge. she was dressed in a black skirt that came to her knees and a lacy tank top with a black crop jacked and her curly hair and all the way down realeased from the usual pony tail or bun the girl wore with her sandals. Amelia , Arrow and Delbert all came down the captain was dressed in black slacks and her blue jacket like Arrow only in his red officers uniform.
The twos' uniforms look extra crisp and clean this night. "Ah very well then are we ready to venture forth?" Amelia asked looking at Jim and approving the wear he had on. "Seems so Captain." She said playing with the lace in her shirt.
As the last two to go down Jim opened his arm for her the interlock with it. She smiled gently but Jim could feel the uneasiness of her body as he was sure she could feel his.
the good doctor home was large and turned out it was more of a dance then a dinner the towns finest was there all dressed simaler to what the rest were. Jim and Jen didn't talk much at dinner she talked mostly to her father. "Dad?" she asked one time while Arrow was in mid-laugh with the two doctor and Amelia. "Jen darling why don't you tak to James?" she glaced at him with out turning his direction and her father placed a hand on her shoulder.
After dinner a dance bagan everyone danced including the captain and arrow Delbert danced with a woman name Betrice , everyone but Jen and Jim . He looked up at her she was playing with her locket.
There you see her
Sitting there across the way
She don't got a lot to say
But there's something about her
And you don't know why
But you're dying to try
You wanna kiss the girl
He got up and walked over to her. "Uh hi..Jen d-do you want to dance? I mean everyone else is but Im your escort and uh.." He absent mindedly rubbed the back of his neck. She looked up at him. "sure..that'd be nice." she said standing and taking his hand.
Yes, you want her
Look at her, you know you do
It's possible she wants you, too
There is one way to ask her
It don't take a word
Not a single word
Go on and kiss the girl
"uhh uhh well I dont know how to dance..I mean i've danced before but not-" "With a girl?" she replied smoothly. "right." "It's easy." She said placing his hands on her waist and her arms around his neck.
Sing with me now
Sha-la-la-la-la-la
My, oh, my
Look at the boy too shy
He ain't gonna kiss the girl
Sha-la-la-la-la-la
Ain't that sad
Ain't it shame, too bad
You gonna miss the girl
It was then he noticed she was the exact same height as him. After awhile she layed her head down on his shoulder causeing him to stiffen. "I didn't know you wore colonge?" "Yeah well Doc thought It was important.." "I see."
Now's your moment
Floating in a blue lagoon
Boy, you better do it soon
No time will be better
She don't say a word
And she won't say a word
Until you kiss the girl
she danced gracefully thorugh the entire thing as if she had done this before. They said not a word on the way back to the Legacy but as Jen quickly chaged she had the ship up and running in a matter a hours.
Later that night he found her sitting in the shrouds. "Uh hey Jen.." "Hello""How were you able to dance like that?" He asked her. "my mom and dad used to all the time I loved watching them.." "Oh I see.."Jim said looking at her oddly.
Sha-la-la-la-la-la
Don't be scared
You got the mood prepared
Go on and kiss the girl
Sha-la-la-la-la-la
Don't stop now
Don't try to hide it how
You wanna kiss the girl
Sha-la-la-la-la-la
Jen's mind drifted back in time:
It was Febuary 14th Jen was four years old. She was suppose to be asleep so herd parents were having alone were laughingwith one another and just enjoying each others complany in there family room. They didn't hear their four year old creep down the stairs and stand next to the doorway. "I love you darling." Christina said quietly. "I love you aswell Love." then thier song came on over the radio and she took him by the hands. "Dance with me?" "Why of course." Jen smiled as the danced it was like , in her mind, her fairy tale stories. But she couldn't help but giggle when they kissed and the end getting her parents attention. "we have a audience." Arrow said quitely. "We do. Why are you up Jeanine?" "I love to watch you guys dance!" she said coming into the room and allowing her mother to pick her up. "It is a good way to learn." "Really mommy?" "Truely dear. but for now you need to sleep." "Aw okay mommy..."
"Jen ? Jen?" "huh oh uhh sorry..." "Day dreaming?" "Yeah I geuss well im gonna go to bed now night Jim." "night." She jumped off the shrouds and went into the officers stateroom and found her father sitting at his desk reading. "night daddy." "Night sweet heart."
