[Ouch, Leggy, that hurt. XP XD]
Es nodded as she tried to keep the beat. She wasn't really looking around or at anyone else to see if they were doing it wrong, she was focused on Ari. She didn't want her and Ari's relationship, [not that they had much of one but she wanted to keep it as friendly as possible], to fall just because she didn't know you couldn't dance like that with someone elses boyfriend. She felt like an idiot, the social retard. Of course you didn't dance like that with someone elses boyfriend, how would she feel if Brandon danced like that with someone else? She would probably murder the girl. But she was just realizing it and it was because her and Nic had such a natural relationship, she didn't think it looked bad infront of someone else.
Even though she'd admit that that dance they were dancing made her extremely uncomfortable because she wasn't used to people rubbing up on her. It invaded her private space and she wouldn't let anyone else to something like that to her. Well, maybe Brandon. But he wouldn't dance like that in the first place so she didn't have to worry about that. She felt like such a bad person for putting Ari through something like that and it took a lot of restraint not to just run off in embarassment. But she knew she had to fight through all of that and deal with stuff in life; She'd done it her whole life, she could certainly do it now!
"Yeah..uhm, sorry again..about that. Just remember..social retard.."
Another nervous laugh as she hoped the subject would be changed or she wouldn't feel guilty about it. Would people call her a whore for dancing with Nic like that?

Nic didn't see what the big deal was. At home they always danced like that even in groups, but then again he was a guy and clueless. Then again he was just jealous enough to not let another brotha come near her with that dance in mind so he did get it, he just thought it was over. So over that he withdrew without their knowledge, not that his bestfriend and girlfriend were paying attention to him, and kept stepping back. Nic personally felt Essy needed a girlfriend, nope that brought too many scenarios in his head that he was sure neither girl would like. Essy needed another close female friend. Especially when she decided to talk to him about some things he REALLY didn't want to discuss and also girls should hang out. This way his girlie wouldn't think unhappy thoughts about him.
So Nic bumped into the wall with a smile being please that the two girlies were hitting it off good. Nic turned to get a few cookies, brownies, pizza slices, and chips. He didn't want to ruin his appetite before he went and got some dessert and made his way to his turn tables to try to remix the electric slide with a new joint he had heard on vacation. The Cupid Shuffle!
{I love that song!}

"Nah, I don't think you are," Arianna shook her head and placed a reassuring hand on Es' shoulder and giving the girl a small smile to match. "It just takes some people a bit longer to warm up to others."
"And I know you're one of Nic's best friends, which is why I invited you. I want to get to know you," Arianna admitted, shrugging slightly. It was at this moment that she realized Nic wasn't on the floor anymore and she searched the room for him as she talked to Es. When she finally found him, she paused to smile and blow a kiss in his direction before turning back to Es. "I guess I'm just not used to having a boyfriend with female friends, you know? You're welcome here anytime, though."

With the new mix that Nic had set to put on, Beni was glad to get lost in it, finding it was nice that she was still too young to lose the youthful activities like dancing like a maniac with anybody around, familiar or foreign. Her moves matched that of the song, and she had gone into it so naturally that she wasn't sure if Ben was keeping up or not. No matter, she continued her frenzy until she looked back and glanced at everything that resembled New Year's Eve. She had to wonder...
"Anyone happen to know how close we are to two double-oh eight?" She looked around for anyone who had some sort of time telling device. And even if there was possibly a clock somewhere in the muggle studio, she wouldn't be able to see it because of the party atmosphere, not to mention that she didn't have her glasses on. Without them, reading things from a distance was one puzzle to solve.

She looked at the hand Ari placed on her shoulder and she couldn't help but smile at the girl. Es was relieved that the anger had gone and they were both left with feelings of friendships and embarrassments. She nodded with an understanding sigh.
"Don't I know that's true.."
She said softly, giving her a smile. She watched Ari look for Nic and her eyes went to him when Ari found him. When she was done giving her kiss, Es gave a little wave and a reassuring smile before turning back to Ari with that same smile.
"Thanks, he's one of my best friends too and we're just comfortable with eachother like that, I guess. But I never want to cause you offense and I'll seriously get away from dancing like that anytime I can..It's so.. weird."
She gave a laugh and an eyeroll.
"Yeah, I suppose it is strange, but all of my best friends are guys. I've never had a sister so I'm more comfortable indulging stuff in guys.."
She shrugged, tucking hair behind her ear.

Since Nic seemed to have ignored him Hiro figured that they could be cool for a night. Hiro took note that the best time to get a chance to talk to Ari would be when Nic was changing the music. However it seemed like she was already in a conversation so he decided to reply to the former Hogwarts student.
"Double oh eight isn't that a muggle spy movie?" He asked not really sure if the conversation would go anywhere but needed a moment to get used to the new song Nic put on.

Though Beni still grooved, she was able enough to greet and respond. "It's guitar-playing Hiro! Hey're ya doing, hon?" She was quick to remember him and ask him a question, but she was even more quick in continuing her babble as she seemed to run on into answering his question. "Now you see, I once thought that's what it was called. But no! Could you believe it? It's actually 'double-oh-eleven'. Why they even have such an absurd number is beyond me."

"You'd think they'd just call it eleven wouldn't you?" Hiro said picking up the new song. It was a song that the writer thought they knew but wasn't sure so was waiting for someone who did. "I've been doing alright, getting through classes, causing but staying out of trouble. You know the usual. Can you believe they made me a prefect?"

"I'd believe it! I'm sure you charmed lovely Ticloon with some Spanish guitar riffs. That or your leadership," She grinned and laughed. She hadn't seen much of the blind student since the day she saw him play the guitar out on the lawns of Hogwarts and then the whole thing turned into a grooving party. "It seems like everytime I see you, we're in a nice little party situation. Are you ready for a new year-- whenever that'll be?"
She still was dying to know how close they were to midnight. She had lost sense of time temporarily and she was just over all excited for the whole idea of New Years. To see the calendar start itself over for the 2,008th time? It was a nice simple event to get excited. Plus, she would be able to give Ben a nice little kiss when the clock struck 12. That was always fun.

"Yes," Allegra answered Chad, trying not to giggle too hard as he swung her around.The music changed to a song she was less familiar with (her taste in music had been leaning towards Wizarding bands lately) but she picked the beat up easily and moved in time to the music, all the while paying attention to Beni and Hiro's conversation about the approaching New Year. Would she get kissed at midnight, she wondered.

The next song that came on was pretty perfect to bust a break-dance move, Chad realized. Maybe not. He didn't need that riding on his shoulders when they went back to school and he had to face all these students again. Instead, he just moved along with Allegra. Watching Allegra dance for a bit, Chad heard the conversation beside them. He really wished midnight would hurry up and get here so he could just do what he wanted. Chad had been thinking about it from the moment Allegra asked him if he wanted to come to this party with her. He hoped he'd get his chance.

"Most of my friends have been guys, too!" Arianna exclaimed, laughing slightly. "Krissy's my best friend, though...." yes, she still believed that despite recent events going on between the two. "I guess I'm just a little wary of girls I don't know well. My first friend I ever made at Hogwarts turned out to be....yeah....it didn't turn out well." Arianna shook her head. She didn't think she should say anything more, though she had been very tempted to comment on her former best friend. If the girl had been around anymore, Arianna wouldn't have been surprised at all if she tried going after Nic as soon as Arianna showed interest in him. But those thoughts were bringing bad memories Arianna had worked hard to get over and didn't want to think about. Especially if they started bringing worries that he might rather be with someone who would 'sleep' with him. "But thank you. I didn't think you looked very comfortable dancing like that, anyway..." Arianna noted. She glanced at her watch then, just as Beni had asked the time. It was already ten-thirty. They still had a way's too go before midnight. {Yeah, I realize I'm jumping ahead, but I know a few of you are eager to get to midnight I'll probably jump ahead again when this thread gets at least one full page of posts }

"Yeah well you know how much of a charmer I am." Hiro joked back, his smile giving away any form of seriousness his tone might have carried. "Actually Ticloon is harder to find than a ghost now a days. She doesn't teach astronomy anymore and we don't think that she's in her office very often."
The song was now less interesting than the conversation and Hiro's moves were much more simple than before as he continued to talk. He was probably just in the way of those who were trying to dance by this point.
"Well you know me, it's not a party without Hiro." He said again an obvious joke. "This year will be just the same as the last, there's no surprises for this upcoming year and I won't be graduating yet so there's no real excitement."

"I think you guys are lookin' for double-oh seven," Charlie had chimed in once, but the scent of food as she got close to the table seemed to be her main point of focus. Not necessarily conversing or anything. "Bond. James Bond." She wiggled her eyebrows as she recited the tidbit of muggle knowledge to them. Again she had the opportunity to know such information because her upbringing had a rather close connection with the Muggle world.
She scrunched her nose at sushi (if she had liked it before, then the favor had worn off), and instead went for the nacho chips that had been there. She feasted on those and popped open some soda for herself, taking a cup to quaff it down. The electric slide had been her highlight so far (even if she still had run ins with Hiro), and she was just waiting for some other song that was well known that she could get down with.

"That's odd," Beni commented on Ticloon's absence in the living, breathing world of Hogwarts. She hadn't always seen the headmistress in her own days as a pupil, and it wasn't unusual. Yet at least she had the fortune of seeing the woman at least once or twice a year. This however, was off. "Maybe she's enjoying holiday. Or playing hookey..."
When Hiro mentioned how boring his year had the potential to be, she shrugged at the boy. "I doubt it. You just get your friends together, get into all kinds of mishaps-- and do it with a smile. Merlin only knows I wish I had done more shenanigans before I left Hoggy's."
