"Oh, dancing! Definitely!" Allegra piped up, stacking her plate with some lucious looking rice rolls. She looked up at Chad and grinned, wondering if he'd agree. Of course, it would be more fun dancing with him, but if he didn't, she was sure she could get Beni to dance with her.

"Yeah, I know," Arianna replied in an equally low voice, shaking her head slightly, glancing over to Nic. She really wasn't dancing, just moving to the beat, probably looking like a total retard against the others who actually knew the dance. "I just....freaked out seeing you two dance like that. Any other kind of dance is okay, but that one...."
Arianna shook her head and chuckled to herself. The dancing the two had been doing had looked a bit too intimate to her and she would much rather it had been herself in Es' place. But it had been more than jealousy Arianna had felt...Arianna couldn't quite place her finger on all the emotions she had felt just moments before, but yes, jealousy had been among them. If only a small portion. Arianna wanted to trust Nic, but if he was that comfortable grinding with someone who was 'just a friend'......Arianna didn't want to think about it. She just wanted tonight to be a good one and for no other little upsets going on between herself and Nic.

"What doesn't look good?" Chad answered with a laugh. He looked over everything, especially the sushi now that Allegra mentioned it and his mouth watered dangerously. That would have to stop before midnight rolled around...
Looking down the table, Chad noticed a stack of plates and grabbed one for himself and one for Allegra, handing it to her. For a moment, he let go of her hand and started to pile the sushi up onto his plate. He reluctantly stopped once he had 5 pieces, wanting to save some for other people.
But then dancing was mentioned.
The colour drained from Chad's face and he suddenly wasn't hungry anymore. He wasn't a bad dancer, (but in fact rather good) but he didn't want to dance in front of people. "I..uhh..do you want to?" Chad asked Allegra nervously.

"Oh come on, Jamin," she insisted, adding along the nickname that never came to be from the seventh years' campout. The truth was though she really liked it and thought it was cute, she had just completely forgotten until then, when the social setting reminded her of the campout. It was obviously to see that the two barely had time to attend parties like these. So it was all about taking in what she could. And that would include dancing.
"You owe me this much after you forgot to close the lid on the loo and I found Jettie splashing around," she raised an eyebrow and had a sly expression. That was the only bit of Slytherin-ness you'll ever see from her. "If not, I'll see to it that Allegra becomes my dancing mate forever and ever." She winked at the Ravengirl. She wasn't actually going to do such a mean thing like that.

{ That would have to stop before midnight rolled around ...ewwww! } "Right now, I want to eat sushi," Allegra claimed, having no problem filling her plate. She was confident that Ari had planned enough... and besides, not every one was a big fan of raw fish. "But then, yes definitely," she continued, hearing the nervousness, but not backing down. She really liked this guy, but she wasn't going to be the kind of girl to sit out just because he didn't want to dance. {and double ew to Beni's post }

(Also Hiro owes you a dance from last time Charlie and he danced ) As the song went on the dance became easier, not that repeating the same moves was hard to begin with. Though Hiro looked fairly clumsy he felt he knew enough about it to try and get some words in. He waited till Nic's back was to him so that he'd move closer to Hiro toward the end of this part. "I'm not making any trouble today." Hiro reassured him in a low tone. He knew that they weren't cool at this point, maybe they'd never be, but at least tonight they could fake it...for Ari's sake.

Ben's face turned a bright red as he glared at Beni. He wasn't angry, but more shocked that she had just said that out loud. "I thought we agreed to not talk about that in public," Ben snarled, hanging his head in shame and sighing. Reluctantly, he grabbed Beni's hand and hauled her out to the dance floor. "If you really want me to look more like an idiot..." he told her.

Of course you do, Chad thought to himself as she said she wanted to dance. Looking back at his plate, Chad wasn't sure if that's what he wanted to eat now. His hand subtly checked his pocket and he breathed a sigh of relief as he felt the mints in there. He was glad he remembered them. "Yeah, let's eat first," Chad agreed, flashing her a smile while he though, so there's something in my stomach to puke out when I get nervous around you again. There was also an internal groan.

(wasn't it golden, though, Leggster? Oh god... xD Forget I said that.)
In the face of the shock, Beni just laughed at him. Of course she knew what sort of reaction she would gauge from him about the fight they had recently, but like then and like now, it was a simple thing to just laugh at. Which Beni took in whole heartedly. "Ahh... the power of persuasion." She looked back at Allegra and waved at her with the slyest of grins. What a bad girl.
Of course, now that they were in her territory, it was time to get into overdrive. Instantly she moved her hips to the beat, putting herself to dance without a structure like some of the kids were doing and instead just had some freestyle. She bobbed up and down on her heels and shook her head. "See? FUN!"

{OOO! I keep forgetting that one Hiro!... two dance partners! Woo hoo! ;D Tell Charlie I promise not to dance with you like Es } Allegra eyed him as she added some wasabi and soy to her plate. He really didn't look to keen on the idea and she really didnt' want him to feel bad about it. "If you don't want to dance with me, I'll dance with Beni you know." She knew she could count on the former Gryffindor to join her on the dance floor without even asking.

Chad nearly choked on his sushi when he heard Allegra speak. "No, no, no, no, it's not that I don't want to," he tried to tell her, stumbling over his own words, "I-I do want...to, I just...I'm..kinda...nervous about it." Letting out a defeated sigh, Chad looked down slightly, picking at his food again, wishing they were alone as his cheeks started to burn up. He tried again, picking his words carefully as he spoke.
"I do want to dance with you, Allegra," he said finally. How lame, but thats all he felt was safe.

"No, really... we don't have to," she insisted, and despite her determination to get out on the dance floor no matter what, she could feel herself backing down. The truth was she did like Chad... she really liked him. And she didn't want to make him feel bad for not wanting to get out on the dance floor. No, if he didn't want to dance, they could find something else to do instead... together.

A sigh escaped Chad. How was he supposed to convince Allegra that he actually wanted to dance with her? He looked up from his plate and met her eyes. An idea flashed across his mind and a grin flashed across his face. Quickly, he grabbed her plate out of her hand and placed it on the table, his going down next to it. "Come on," he mumbled with a smile. Chad took Allegra by the hand and led her out to the dance floor. He pulled her in, his hand going up to her back as Chad dipped Allegra, chuckling softly. Pulling her back up, Chad smiled at the young woman. "We can eat later," he laughed.

Allegra started to protest, now feeling downright awful for making him feel like he had to dance, and as he led her out to the dance floor, she tried to resist.
But then he pulled her close and she couldn't help but squeal when he dipped her back. His hands were on her and he was close enough for her to smell his aftershave. She liked it.

Chad laughed slightly as Allegra squealed, hoping that was the good kind of squeal. He smiled at her and let go finally, now just holding her hands. "Now will you believe me that I want to dance?" he asked her. Now that they were out there, Chad was less nervous about it. He knew he needed to just do it and let go of everything else and he would be fine. Chad wanted to dance now just as much as Allegra did. Moving to the music, Chad just bobbed around a little, moving his feet as he swung Allegra's hands and egged her on to dance too. Maybe he'd have to break out his sweet break-dancing moves...
