Daphne had been complaining that she didn't know how to waltz, and the 8th graders were having a graduation dance. So Tim decided that he would teach her to waltz. So they were now standing in the Grimm's apartment, while Daphne searched for a slow song on her Ipod.
"Found one!" She cried.
"Good. You have one of those Ihome things?" Tim asked.
"I did last week, but it broke. And Sabrina took hers to work, so..."
"Then what are we gonna do?"
"Well, it's got a longish cord, I figured you could stick one bud in your ear, and I could have the other one."
Tim shrugged. "That'll work." Besides, it would give him a chance to be closer to her.
The began dancing. As Daphne got better, he started paying less attention to not getting his feet stepped on, and more to Daphne herself. He had liked her for... oh, who knows how long. Maybe since she first visited New York and asked him to say his line. His feelings had grown in the 5 years since they moved back, though. One would have thought Sabrina would be more his type, after all, she was closer to his age, but she was more distant, just a friend, and she had Puck. All the everafters in the whole city knew that. Plus, she was always busy with her new job. Daphne had visited more and more often, and a friendship had eventually grown out of it. They were almost best friends now, and spent quite a bit of time hanging out together. She was getting closer to his age every day, and he planned on growing up once she reached his grade level. After all, she was perfect.
Daphne interrupted his musings by stepping on his foot again. "Oops!" She squeaked.
"It's all right." Tim said. "The song's almost over anyway."
"We could start it over." Daphne suggested.
"Nah, you've gotten a lot better."
"But-"
"But what?" Tim asked.
"I like dancing with you." Daphne whispered.
"Well then, we'll keep dancing."
They did. Sabrina came home hours later to find the two still at it, and she just smiled and shook her head.
"Finally." She muttered.
