Dance
The evening for it came and the palace was buzzing with activity for it. All the guests and warriors who had come here were preparing while those working to set up for the night were busy. Nicholas in his room was putting the finishing touches on his outfit. Despite being in a desert like environment, the night was cool enough that suits and dresses could be worn. It was one of the things were despite swords, shields, and weapons like that were used, some advances in technology were around. Besides the carriage like vehicles, pain killers for operations, pills for unwanted pregnancies, and some things for love making besides running water were around. “Well, let’s see how this goes,” the fosky said softly after looking himself over in the mirror.
The place in the palace was the ball room and things had just finished being set up for the night. The lights in here, as there was electricity to in this city and homes, reflected perfectly on the stone surface in this room. There were plenty of tables and seats to be at. Dinner had already happened so only drinks and snacks were here as well. Nicholas saw he was here early as hardly anybody else but the workers were here. Natasha and Ajihad then showed up and the fosky gave a little bow of respect to them. “You look nice tonight,” the male wolf said to the young male.
“Thank you your highness.” These two were also dressed for the occasion, but the clothes were more royal like.
“Oh, before we begin, there’s someone we should introduce you to,” the female ruler commented. Nicholas then saw a third person he hadn’t noticed before. It was a male weasel, in his 30s, with black hair that was short and slicked back. But his dark eyes bore patience and wisdom as well. “Meet Louis, he runs a dance school here.”
“Nice to meet you,” said Nicholas as the two shook paws. “I recognize you from that dance competition last year.”
“Charmed,” he replied, his voice having a slight accent.
“He’s a special guest tonight as some of his students will be here as well,” Ajihad explained.
“A little more entertainment for tonight then,” the fosky said with a grin.
The guests then began to come in shortly after. Nicholas saw the male team members from his group but Cherry and Morgan weren’t with them. “They’ll come,” Remy whispered to him seeing the long-haired male’s confused look. Rex the captain was also with the rat.
His parents and brother also arrived and more of those who had fought in this. Then the same announcer from before suddenly spoke into a mike, causing those who were talking to look towards him. “Ladies and gentlemen, it gives me great pleasure to now present some dance students and special females from the tournament!” they announced.
Everyone then saw some double doors open and the newcomers came out. Nicholas saw the students he had been told about and then came Morgan and her family. Rachel was dressed cutely but the female coyote was absolutely gorgeous. Chery was with them as well. But then the fosky saw Malika and once again was stunned by how the Anubian Jackal looked. “What the…?” he whispered. “Wait a minute… is that Malika…?”
This was due to her being in a strapless dress that fit her frame well. Her long white hair had been put in a ponytail, but it was wavy with a single flower behind her ear. The color of the dress was different shades of pink. The ends were light while the main part was a darker shade. Many of the other males in here were also stunned by her beauty. Some of them even asked her to dance, but the female ignored them as she, Morgan, Chery, and Rachel joined Nicholas, Remy, and Rex. “Fine feathers make fine birds, no?” the rat asked with a grin to Malika looking between her and the fosky.
“You be quiet!” the Anubian Jackal snapped at him. She then got a softer look on her face as a way to apologize to Remy as she didn’t hate that male. The female then noticed Nicholas still standing there stunned. “Why are you just standing there like your dazed?!” she asked.
“Why should it matter to you?!” he replied, crossing his arms in an annoyed tone. “Especially after what happened earlier today!”
Unknown to the two, Louis was nearby, seeing and hearing everything. “Well never mind that,” Morgan said. “Tonight’s supposed to be a fun one.”
“Yes, now come on,” Chery said to Remy with a smile, holding out an arm to him.
“You sure, Miss Chery?” he asked with a grin.
“Well swamp rat, I figured you would ask me to dance,” the mouse replied with a smile of her own. “Besides, I owe you one after our bet.” That was a small one with Remy stating he would last longer in the tournament “But don’t think this means anything different, got it?”
“Whatever you say, Cher.”
“Would you care to dance Morgan?” Rex then asked before Nicholas had a chance. The coyote giggled and took the wolverine’s paw. It was fine as there weren’t any romantic feelings at all as they walked away. Rachel then went with her parents leaving Malika and Nicholas alone with Louis observing them. That is until the music began. Louis was able to find a dance partner but only to mix in with the crowd and still keep an eye on the Anubian Jackal and fosky.
“Looks like it’s beginning,” he then said, noticing this. “Go on, you’re missing it.” Malika still stood there, looking at Nicholas. She then held out her right paw to him. This got him confused.
“It wouldn’t bother for me to dance with you,” she said, eyes closed and head turned away with a frown.
“Huh?” the male asked, blushing and then getting annoyed. “If that’s the way you’re going to ask me to dance, you shouldn’t bother!”
The Anubian Jackal’s head jerked towards his, blushing somewhat to and her frown got a little bigger. “Okay fine then!” She then actually smiled.
“Would you care to dance then?” the female asked the male. It was in this moment that he once again saw something different in her. How actually beautiful Malika was.
“Yeah… okay, sure,” the fosky replied and took her paw.
They were on the outside corner with Louis still watching them as he danced. The long-haired male held Malika’s right paw while his left was around her waist. Her left was on his shoulder. They simply moved back and forth, a little forwards and back. “Well, I didn’t think you would know how to do this,” she then said. Malika was just talking to distract herself from this and not to notice how despite how she hated Nicholas, that being in his arms like this wasn’t so bad. In fact it felt good.
“I’ve had practice,” he replied. Nicholas was confused as to why he had these thoughts about the Anubian Jackal and noticed how soft she felt in his arms despite how he hated her. Still dancing this one time with the female wasn’t so bad. “I had to especially since this happened last year. At least there isn’t another competition.”
“What other competition?” Malika asked, curious now.
“It’s a dancing one. It happens every two years and takes place during this celebration. Last year wasn’t so bad as I did it just for fun. But I’m nowhere near good enough to dance at that level. Ask Louis.”
“Louis?”
“He runs a dance school. According to Natasha and Ajihad when I met him, some of his students are here now. I recognize a few from it last year. But when it comes to dancing I’m more of the free kind; where you move with the fast beat and things like that. But this slow dancing is about as far as the classic kind that I know and can do without too much trouble. But anything beyond like the Tango and things like that, not at all. But I still like to dance.”
Malika was quiet for a bit as she took this information in. Out of everything, another thing the two liked was common. “I’m like that as well,” she admitted. The fosky knew liking the dancing part as he had gathered that much from seeing the Anubian Jackal in her room do so on that day but didn’t say anything.
“Umm…. Thank you…” the female then said.
“Uh… what’s with all this?” the fosky asked. “You’re acting kinda weird. Asking me to dance, all of it.”
“Well… it’s thanks because you saved me from that scumbag earlier, that’s all…” the Anubian Jackal said quickly and turning bright red while looking away. “I hate being indebted to others…”
“So it’s a one-time thing,” the fosky commented. “I understand… A temporary ceasefire…”
“Yeah…” The female then looked back at him, her face returning to normal. “How did you even find us?”
“I heard the nose and figured there was trouble. Turned out I was right even though I know you can take care of yourself. Something in my gut told me to still check it out.” Malika just nodded. Even though she hated the fosky, at least he had done that for her. It didn’t change her thoughts of him at all. Still, it was better he had or else her virginity would’ve been taken. If there was one thing the female knew was that it should be lost to the right person, not the one who had tried to force himself on her. It also strengthened her resolve to get stronger so that it never happened again.
The dancing then came to an end and the award ceremony happened. The teams that had won were presented with the trophies. The rulers of this city thanked everyone and then people began to head back to their rooms as the next day, the guests would be leaving and everything would go back to normal around this place. The people here could now look forward towards summer as it would come in hot. The farmers as well who grew the crops as now with the seeds planted during the beginning of planting season in March and with the flooding of the river nearby, wouldn’t be as hard pressed for work as they could let the hot sun make the green things grow. As for the months of May through August, no training would happen as stuff for next year’s tournament would be figured out during that time before it would be announced in September. Louis in the meantime who had seen Nicholas and Malika dance, met up with Natasha and Ajihad to talk about those two. He learned the whole story, including with talking with the fosky’s parents. A plan began to form in his head as he had seen the young male and female dance but still have tension between them. But the weasel didn’t say anything yet as May finally came to an end. Summer had arrived.
