Well, moving along with the Sweet Shoppe "chibi" series, I finally got around to drawing the most sultry of the Sweet Shoppe girls, Mint. Mint's a dancer and has a very fluid capacity of movement. ...also, I have never drawn her feet. LOL! Well, that only leaves Candy, Tange and Plum to go. ...well...and Brandy ^^; Anyhoo, back to work!

Ooh I think this is the favorite of the chibi series so far. She's just lovely
And you captured the fluidity of her movement very well.
~~~
*I hold out a hand to Mint. She looks up at me, expecting me to say something, but just then I find my breath halting, as I realize once more her beauty and she is looking at me... But just before it starts getting embarrassing I manage to find my voice*
I-If you know this dance, would you give me the pleasure?
*'I hope she didn't notice that...' I think to myself*

Actually, I think Mint is my favorite so far, too ^^; I don't know what it is about her, but even drawing her, she behaves just like a lady. Thank you, Petey!
...and if she noticed, she's too elegant to let on that she did.
MINT: *looks at Pete expectantly but when he says nothing, she smiles politely and places her palm in his.* "Of all the dances I know, this is one of my favorites. It would be my pleasure to share it with you." she says, demurely.

When I notice Mint playing along with the little courteous act I had started (and not to mention she saying yes!!), a smile breaks out on my muzzle, that is a little too wide to be polite. However fearing it would look like a sneer if I tried to temper it, I let is play out on my muzzle for a few moments, while I lead Mint onto the dance floor. The first notes of the music start filling the air in anticipation of the dance that will soon start. Finding a good spot on the floor I turn back to face Mint. She steps up to me and we stand ready in the closed position. We are ready to dance, but once again I feel my body wanting to betray me. Standing close to her, her bosom so close to me... looking in her eyes for a moment, I feel like I am utterly rooted to the spot. When the last notes if the intro sound though my ears I fear that I will not be able to move and just be forced to stand there like an idiot...
But then, when the verse of the song begins the music simply commands my legs and body to move, as if my body is completely unaware of the trouble in my mind (or heart). We set off across the dance floor, starting to move in perfect harmony with the music. "I'm glad I worked up the courage to ask Mint", I'm thinking just before the world around me starts to disappear as I lose myself to the compelling notes of the song... and the harmony that I share with the beauty that is my partner.

Aww, that was LOVELY!!
MINT: The warmth of his touch caressed her flesh even beneath her minty green coat. She didn't know this stranger and yet she had felt his gaze upon her before. His smile, although a little awkward, was rather pleasant and charming. She found herself surprised at how honest it was.
All of a sudden, she felt his hand at her back, pressing her supple form against the taut hardness of his body and she suddenly became acutely aware of the power and masculinity of her partner. He was positioning her for the dance, she knew, yet despite the knowing, she found it rather difficult to fill her lungs with any measure of oxygen. She raised her viridian gaze up to meet his and in an instant, the steps of the dance eluded her.
As the sweet melody of the song whispered in her ear, her eager limbs yearned to spring to life as she sensed his did as well, yet they stood together, there in the center of the floor as though rooted to the spot. Finally, lyric melds with song and the spell that yielded the motionless is broken and they begin their dance.

It is a sensation that was not entirely unfamiliar to me. The movements of the dance melting with the emotions in the music, expressing them without a care in the world through the movement of the dance as if nobody was watching. There were a few dances that did it to me regularly. Some of them are danced in pairs, some of them in circles. One of my friends said it was contagious, in the sense that when she saw me do it, she felt more at ease to put more feeling into the dance herself too.
This was something different, however. I didn't just not care about if others could see me, it was as if they weren't there. It felt as if all the universe was comprised of was the music, an endless dance floor, the movements, and her. Her. The beautiful light green cat who's name I had overheard was 'Mint', and who oddly didn't feel anything as cool as her name in my arms. No, she felt warm. As warm as the feelings that the music tried to convey. As warm as the feeling that was growing in my heart. The fluidity of her movements, both feminine and smooth... I was quite aware of her femininity so close to my body, but it did nothing but intensify the warmth in my heart, intensify the moment. She allowed herself to be led without effort. It was as if the music, the movements and she and I were all in perfect harmony. When the dance permitted I would look into her eyes. They were a deep green, that made a beautiful contrast with the cool colors of her coat. They sucked me in like they contained that whole, little universe that we were dancing in...
When the last beasts of the song rolled by it was almost as if I woke up from a dream. The dance ended in closed position, like it started. When the last steps of the dance were taken, the musicians were still drawing out the last note for a few long seconds, which allowed me to look one more time into those big and beautiful eyes, while it was still socially acceptable to do so. I smiled. But I also felt myself starting to blush. I noticed we were standing a bit closer to than I had originally intended...
[OOC: it's 2:30am here, I better go to bed post-haste. I hope you are enjoying this as much as I am, though <3 ]

MINT: The dance was over. The music had faded away like a shadow retreating from the light. Though the dance had ended, the feeling of weightlessness one felt while dancing refused to abandon Mint as she dared to raise her gaze to meet the eyes of her partner. And yet...
"Thank you." she all but whispered. "...for the lovely dance." she added and without another word, spun on her heel and disappeared into the crowd, melting within the sea of swaying bodies and voices that crowded the spacious hall.

I was about to say "my pleasure" and would probably have asked if she wanted a drink, but before I could open my mouth, she had tuned and waked away. It felt like the connection we shared was suddenly gone, like a power plug unceremoniously yanked out of its socket by its cord. I looked after her in shock, I wanted to call out Wait! but while my mouth did open, no sound came out. I just stood there for a few moments, my brain simply trying to process what had just happened.
...What...? She is walking away... Why? Is she angry? She didn't sound angry... but she walked off... What did I miss? Did I do something wrong? I felt a pang of hurt in my chat at that last thought. Maybe I danced too close? But I didn't intend to... She is walking away...! Only when another couple suddenly moved right in front of me, forcing my eyes to refocus, did I awake form my stupor. It had only lasted a few seconds, but in that time she had completely disappeared into the crowd.
Right then I came to a decision of sorts. I would not let it end this way so easily. I felt my heart needed some closure in some way or another at least. I set off into the crowd after her. If not to ask her for an explanation, then at least to apologize. Though I didn't know what I would do if I found her. I also was still at a loss of why this happened. Did he dance too close to her, and made her uncomfortable? I tried to remember. The dance had seemed to flow so naturally. I didn't remember having to even invite, let alone pull her to come closer to me. It really just happened. And if it had made her uncomfortable then it simply hadn't registered with me at all. Another possibility then sprang to my mind. Maybe she is seeing someone else? Maybe what we shared during the dance to her felt like cheating on her beloved? Was it a threat to her relationship? Part of me wanted to reject the idea, thinking that, - surely - I couldn't have such an effect on a woman? But still it was the only explanation that made sense to me. Maybe if I find her again tonight I won't walk up to her outright... Just see if I can catch her eye, see if I can read her expression, somehow.
I just hoped she didn't go straight for the exit.
