Just as Drew and Jenny walk onto the dance floor, another slow piece comes on. Chris and Juliana start dancing again, this time more relaxed.
He means he's more relaxed now. Somewhat. Deep breaths...All through this, Chris is thinking "Wow, this is only the second girl I've ever danced with. This is fun! I've gotta do this more often."
He's lying; this would be the first girl he ever danced with. I know this because a month later he posted in the legendary Freaky Magic (which I will annotate after I finish the Gathering) that he had never danced with a girl before. Unless in this case he's counting his sister when he was 6 or something. But I agree with him here that admitting to PSI he'd never danced with a girl before wouldn't be a smart play.While Juliana and Chris drifted along the dance floor...
C'mon, Chris, you can do better than that. Write us some dripping sappy prose here. Hell, I can do better than that. Hell, I will do better than that, later in the Gathering, which makes me blush even now and I will probably be merciless on my past self about.

Drew is making futile attempts at dancing with Jenny.
"You aren't doing that well now, but it's pretty natural."
"I hope you're right, 'cause ridicule sucks."
Just then...
Your suspicion is correct, Drew: You suck at life.
So..... what now?

Tim decided not to go to the dance, at least not yet. He had several reasons.
Oh god. Here comes an autobiographical Tale of Why I Suck Oh God Why Me that we'd all rather have skipped, if it weren't so damn funny to read now.1:No girl would ever ask a somewhat plump boy to dance with him anyways.
Maybe a somewhat plump girl would?2:The LAST thing he'd want to happen is for some monster to storm the dance, so he'd patrol the shore, and he knew he might need to protect some of the other somewhat disliked people/animals.
Tim is trying very hard to prevent the Gathering from dissolving into endless violence, which is like trying to prevent the sun from rising in the morning.3:He hadn't read the overcoming shyness book yet, so he was quite shy.
4:Chris already snapped up the girl I wanted.(Yes people, Chris did almost win that twist contest. The only reason that other couple won was because they went last, right Chris?)
I wonder if Chris let Tim have the N64 for an extra hour in exchange for writing that?So, he patroled the shores.
"If that thing gets in, the dance will be over in a flash!"Tim exclaimed, seeing a jellyfish nearing the window where Luna was.
(insert laser sound)
"Whew! Got it!"
(note:if any girl wants to dance with Tim[quite unlikely, though], they can just come outside a ask him)
Ouch. I hurt. Reading this even nine years later makes my insides hurt. It's painful. Please make it stop.
Note to aspiring IF writers: Don't leave parenthetical comments at the end of your post restating what your post already made clear.

Drew bigins dancing better than Squall in the SeeD ball scene(Li'l too natural). Jenny seems surprised, but happy.
"Good, Drew! You see? Dancing comes quite naturally!"
"Yes! I'm dancing with a girl, I'm at an SM.Net convention, YES!!!"Drew thinks to himself.
ROFL. Sure he might have been thinking it, but at least Chris had the self-restraint not to type it."Yo DJ! Play a remix of the Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening overworld music!"
Because every competent DJ has a remix of that handy."OK kid!"
Meanwhile...

After looking around enough at all the people dancing,waffle just had an urge to. Of course,he needed someone to dance with. He scanned the room and noticed Luna sitting there,also not dancing.Thinking he had nothing to lose,he took a deep breathe,tossed his punch cup aside, and walked over...
"Would you like to dance?" he asked. She replied..
THAT'S the spirit, waffle! YES! High five! I am so pumped.[This message has been edited by waffle (edited 04-15-2000).]
