Hundred Word Challenge: # 13 Dance

Dear Journal:

So, as you probably remember from my previous entries, today was Sabrina and Puck's wedding. I'm so happy for them. But I've also talked about them a lot in here. So tonight I wanted to talk about someone that I haven't talked about since Sabrina's last wedding (that didn't go so well). Do you remember Pinocchio? Of course you do. I just raved about him the whole time. Sorry about that.

Anyway, today at the reception I was walking around the dance floor and I spotted him. Yes, Pinocchio was there! I didn't think Sabrina would have remembered to invite him again. Well, as I said, I was walking around the dance floor and I stopped to get a punch. I saw a man standing with his back facing me at the punch table. I grinned 'cause I noticed his ears were a little pointy. There were only three men with pointy ears that I knew- Puck, Musterdseed, and Pinocchio. This was the only brunette of the three.

I tapped his shoulder and he turned around. "Hi Pinocchio!"

He squinted at me for a second before his face broke into a broad smile. "Hello Daphne. How are you this evening?"

"Terrific. Everything's so beautiful." I said gesturing to all the decorations and people.

"Yeah. It is." He glanced around for a second before returning his eye contact with me. "Um…Daphne," He said rubbing the back of his neck," Would you like to, ah, dance?"

I glanced at the dance floor and nodded my head slowly. "Yeah. I would. Oh, do you mean with you? Well..." I saw his eyebrow knit in disappointment. I softly punched him on the shoulder," I'm just joking Pin head."

He frowned at that. I guess he didn't like the nick name. "You could just call me 'Oak'. It sounds a little better."

I nodded my head again. "Okay 'Oak'. Well, are we going to dance?" He took my hand and pulled me out to the dance floor.

We danced until probably eleven o'clock, I think. We ranged from cha-cha's (don't ask why they had that at the wedding) to the Chicken Dance. The last song was a slow dance. I tucked my number into his jacket pocket. Yeah, I can be smooth.

Needless to say it was a good night. Pinocchio is pretty nice now that he's not all bitter. He's also a good dancer. I guess all that time wandering around other fairy tale lands helped. And he is hot. Like, really hot. Need I say more?

Well, raving about Oak, or Pinocchio a little more. But how many times can you rave about someone that you're in like with?

~Daphne

A.N.:

Yes, I meant to say "In like" She's not in love. She barely knows him, and the last time she really talked with him he was a complete jerk. Sorry if this was random, but I asked my parents for a number one through a hundred and then I asked for which name they liked best (Daphne) so I ended up coming up with this. :P

Oh, and for those who are like," Why the fiddle sticks did she write Daphne and Pinocchio as a couple?" Well, Daphne actually shows a liking to Pinocchio in the first Epilogue in "The Counsel of the Mirrors"

Whereas Dapherseed is just a mindless pairing. Did she ever actually say she liked Musterdseed? Don't think so. And no, I do not like the nickname "Oak" for Pinocchio, but whatever!
