The whole giant room was filled with people in all sorts of different colored gowns and suits. Every single person wore a mask over their face. They all danced to the Orchestra playing in the front of the room. The room seemed to sparkle it was so lovely.
Ruby walked down the stairs with Alison, everyone stopped and looked at them.
"Thank you for showing up to the ball. I hope you have a wonderful evening, and dance to your hearts content." Ruby said. The crowd below clapped a little before dancing again.
"We have to dance until the Princess shows up." Ruby told Alison. Alison sighed a little and nodded. "Don't worry, I have someone who will dance with you the whole night. You can trust him. He will teach you how to dance properly."
At the bottom of the staircase were two men wearing suits. One was wearing a dark green suit with a green mask that had gold trim on the edges. And the other wore a dark purple suit with a mask that had black trim around the edges.
Ruby approached the man in green with a bright smile, he knelt and kissed her hand before standing back up. Ruby smiled at Alison and gestured toward the man in purple. Alison nodded and approached the man shyly. He knelt and kissed Alison's hand lightly, Alison felt her cheeks grow a little warm. She wasn't very used to this. The man led her onto the dance floor, then faced her and put one hand on her waist. Alison rested her hand on his shoulder.
"Can you dance?" he asked. Alison smiled at the familiarity of his voice.
"No, I never learned." Alison said. Cheshire smiled.
"Y'know, a princess must learn how to dance." he said. Cheshire only started to sway and spin around every once in awhile. After a bit, Alison noticed that the music was too calm for her, and that she needed to liven it up.
"Hey, can you play an electric guitar?" She asked Cheshire. He smiled with amusement.
"Yeah, what's your little plan?"
Alison grabbed his hand and led him to the stage. She picked up a black electric guitar and handed it to him. "Do you know the song 'The Disappearance of Hatsune Miku?'"
Cheshire grinned. "I know it all too well." He took the guitar. Alison and him walked onto the stage in front of the crowd.
