[glow=green,5,300]"Gee, the artificial stars are beautiful tonight," Chix sighs, opening his eyes once again, "But none shine as bright as you, Captain Holly Short. If I had to run into a building full of hostile goblins, there's no other officer I would want to back me up. I think any officer in the LEP would say the same."[/glow]

"Chix, you're looking very handsome tonight. Will you take my hand?"
Holly holds out her hand to take Chix's, then she just hugs him.
"Chix, this is the first time I've ever used my love emotion, I hope I won't mees anything up. Your very sweet."
Holly tries to use small talk, but is finding it hard from hanging around Foaly too much.

[glow=green,5,300]Chix takes her hand and, at the same time, staggers to his feet. If his wings weren't clipped, he would be hovering about now--though not out of nervousness, but simply because he doesn't have a care in the world right now.
"Well, enough of the mushy talk," he grins, "The night is still young. Shall we dance?"[/glow]

"Your right, lets get outta here. You wanna take the car, or do you wanna just walk? Your choice, Chix."
Holly smiles at Chix warmly with her cute bowed lips, and then she has that dreamy gaze in her eye.
"Wait a second! I forgot my tap dance shoes!"
Holly rushes back into her flat, upstairs to her bedroom, and starts pawing and digging in the closet, to find her tap dance shoes. She finally finds them under an old box. She then remembers that there was something for Chix inside. She slips on her tap dance shoes, and then scurries out the door.
"Here, Chix. This is something for you, I hope you like it."

[glow=green,5,300]"Walking is fine," Chix shrugs, "I'm up for it if you are. It's a nice night for walking...or flying...which I can't do. Doctor's orders."
His wings fight the clip in a brief spasm, but it doesn't last. He blinks as Holly runs back to her flat and then runs back out in clacking tap shoes.
"You tap dance?" he asks, slightly surprised as she hands him a box, "What's this, Cap--err...Holly?"[/glow]

"Oh that little box? Just something I made from scratch, with some lessons from Foaly. I think you'll like it."
Holly smiles as she is giving him something, she liked giving people gifts, it made her feel good. What Chix didn't know was that it was a hi-tech iPod she had made herself.
"Yes I tap dance, haven't done it in a long time. I hope I remember how to do it."
Holly starts tap dancing and runs up the side of a wall. She was a great tap dancer.
"You can open that if you like. Holly blushes. I think you'll really like it."

[glow=green,5,300]Chix blinks and stares at the package for a long time before finally opening it. He stares at the fairy version of an iPod and a grin slowly spreads across his green face.
"Wow..." he gasps, turning it over in his hands, then looking up at Holly, "This is--wow. Y-you made this yourself? For me? Aw, thanks, Cap'. I love it! Uhh...what exactly is...it?"
He watches as Holly gives her taps a test run. When she does a wall run, it takes the cake. Chix can feel his lower jaw hit his chest.
"Umm...I think you've still got it, doll face," he comments, his shades sliding down his nose to reveal wide eyes.[/glow]

"Really? I don't think I've still got it, when I was about seventy years-old I could tap dance my way to Kalamazoo. Anyway, I'm not that good. You'll never guess who taught me, Commander Root, he taught me everything I know about tap dancing. Don't tell him though, he'll kill me if he knows I told someone he tap dances. Oh, that? It's an iPod I created myself, download any music you want, anytime you want. It's legal and it's free, unlike the Mud Man type. They want money for everything."
Holly then remembers she has a spare set of wings, about the size of a matchbox, with a button that unfolds them.
"Here, these are for you, Chix. They're wings, just press that button, and you can fly again."

[glow=green,5,300]"The commander...tap dances?" Chix asks in total disbelief, his jaw dropping for the second time in as many minutes, "No...way! You're pulling my wing, right?"
Chix's snickering soon gives way to peels of full-blown laughter. This continues for several minutes until the sprite finally doubles over in slight pain, clutching his wounded side.
"I'm tellin' you, Cap'," he pants, "If I wasn't already in stitches, I'd be in stitches right now!"
He cranes his neck to look up as he is still doubled over and will remain so for a few more minutes as he recovers from his hysterical laugh attack.
"Artificial wings, eh?" he chuckles, "Sorry, Cap'. Those things don't fit sprites unless they've had their real wings amputated. Tell you what, why don't you put 'em on and fly us to the Dance & Dine?"[/glow]

"Good deal, let's go."
Holly holds out her arm for Chix to take.
"Hold on tight, Chix, this could get a little bumpy."

[glow=green,5,300]"Relax, Holly," Chix rolls his eyes, "You worry too much. I'm a sprite. I was born to fly. A little turbulance never hurt anybody--unless you hit something. Then the pain could tend to linger a while."[/glow]

"Just hold on. Wouldn't wanna hurt the other wing now would we? And we're off!"
Holly turns the wing turbines to full power, zooming down the streets of Haven City.
"Here we are, Dance & Dine. Let's go in."

[glow=green,5,300]"After you, my dear," Chix replies, holding the door for her and gesturing that she go before him. Once inside, Chix immediately gets in the groove. The music blaring from the speakers is catchy and it seems to magically take control of his feet.
"Now this is my kinda place," he whirls in a spin, then takes Holly's hand and spins her, "C'mon, Cap'. Let the music take control."[/glow]

"Maybe I should make a music request. Just to make the night a little more romantic. How about Everybody Dance now? Or better yet, some Riverdance!"
Holly pulls on her tap dance shoes, then she requests a Riverdance song. And starts dancing to the music.

[glow=green,5,300]Other fairies stop dancing and stare at Holly, then at Chix--the elf being graceful and flowing right along with the music, while the sprite is...break dancing and doing a crazy freestyle to the traditional Celtic tunes.
"You go, Cap'," Chix whoops, breaking into another tornadic spin, "Get down with your bad self!"[/glow]
