This is the largest, most elegant ballroom you have ever seen. Overhead, golden chandeliers flicker with warm lights, which are reflected on the large, window-shaped mirrors on the walls. A beautiful wooden dance floor sat in the center of the room, with ornately-decorated tables all around it. In the back is a pair of glass doors leading to a balcony that overlooks some gorgeous scenery.

I wouldn't be much of a gentleman if I couldn't, would I?

[galacticbunny]

It's settled then. You can show me tomorrow.

[infinitejustice]

You have a deal. I'll need a way to contact you, though.

[galacticbunny]

[ Shaking head. ] No. I'll contact you.

[infinitejustice]

...All right, then. I guess I'd better give you my. My phone number.

[A bit of pink crept into his cheeks. He was a bit aware of the usual implications.]

[galacticbunny]

[ She pokes his cheek and giggles. ] You're blushing ...

[infinitejustice]

Wha -- HEY! N-no I'm not!

[He raises his hand to push hers away.]

[galacticbunny]

You are. Mr. Veteran is actually blushing. Hnm ... how cute.

[infinitejustice]

Hey, come on! This is a formal event!

[galacticbunny]

[ But this is so much fun. ] Nobody is looking. Don't be so shy ...

[infinitejustice]

That doesn't make it appropriate!

[galacticbunny]

Maybe it isn't, but it is nice to see you not looking so serious.

[infinitejustice]

So that's it, then... Why didn't I see that coming?

[galacticbunny]

Maybe it is a sign you need to get to know me better. And we'll have plenty of time for that tomorrow, won't we? [ Wink. ]

[infinitejustice]

Yes, I suppose we will. But we have time to kill until then.

[ Unfortunately, despite this conversation being the most entertaining part of the night ... it looked like it was almost time to go. Grace was signalling her that it was at least. ]

It looks like you won't be playing bodyguard for me tonight.

But I'll leave something that is bound to make an impression.

[ She gives him a quick kiss on the cheek. It was going to get people talking, but then again --- her career was also built on rumors like that. ]

I'll see you tomorrow then, Mr. Veteran of Two Wars.

[infinitejustice]

[Well. That got Athrun to blush and quickly look around. He was hoping no one saw that.]

[galacticbunny]

Nobody saw, if that is what you're worried about. So relax ...

[infinitejustice]

Easier said than done...

[galacticbunny]

Has anyone ever told you how cute you are when you blush?

Be careful. You might tempt me to make you do that more often.

[infinitejustice]

[Athrun just sighs in response.]

[galacticbunny]

I'd love to stay but my time as Cinderella is up. Goodbye ...

[ She finally lets go of his hand and begins backing away and joining Grace at the sidelines. ]

[infinitejustice]

[And Athrun offers a wave.]

Hope to see you soon.
