People like us we've gotta stick together Keep your head up, nothing lasts forever"Y-you really think so?" Kagami smiled. "Sh-she's just so talented, I-" She turned to Shun, suddenly aware that she didn't know who Lei was. How rude! "Oh! Lei is my horse." She said, clasping her hands in front of her. "Sh-she and I are on the equestrian t-team at Spica." She continued to smile as she spoke of Lei; talking about her horse really did being her joy, it made her feel not as shy and awkward. As usual, Kagami stiffened slightly as Maiko put her hand on her shoulder, but her reassurance and Shuns offers to help her dance made her feel more comfortable. Te fact that they weren't trying to pressure her into it helped maybe even more. She knew how to dance, of course. Maybe not exceptionally well, but her parents would have thrown a conniption if shed shown up at one of their gatherings without knowing how to conduct herself. Kagami looked up at both her partners and cleared her throat nervously. "Maybe... Maybe ill t-try... Just a little." She smiled, trying to be brave. But that bravery leaked out of her as soon as they spoke again. "B-Beautiful...?" She squeaked. Had anyone called her beautiful before? She wracked her brain, trying to find an instance but none came to her. She looked down, her cheeks blazing red against her white hair and dress. "Th-thank you..." She said softly. Then she looked back up and smiled at Maiko. "N-no, Maiko- Chan, you look... V-very nice..." Then she turned to Shun, more shy due to the fact that she had only just met her. "And... And y-you... You look really nice too, Sh-Shun- San..." Here's to the damned, to the lost and forgotten It's hard to get high when you're living on the bottom

You make me feel out of my element, Like I'm walkin' on broken glass... Like my worlds spinnin' in slow motion, And you're movin' too fast...Naomi felt her friend stiffening in her arms but she was more concerned with her well- being. The sound of her voice relaxed her, made her smile. "I'm glad you weren't there." Naomi frowned. "It was nasty. I was there helping people get to where they needed to go, and..." She shivered. "I'm glad you weren't there." Then Naomi laughed. "Oh, come on!" She winked. "Of course I'm alright! You think a puny little earthquake could bring me down? Ha!" The laughter faded as Kiwi mentioned the student council. With a sigh, Naomi nodded. "Thank you. You have no idea how much it means to hear people say that." Naomi had been working so hard lately, balancing the repair efforts and her schoolwork and... And home... Kiwis smile was enough to coax another out of Naomi; when it disappeared, Nao wanted nothing more then to make it reappear. Carefully, Naomi reached out and ran her hand over one of Kiwis curls. "You look amazing with your hair down." She smiled warmly. "I'm so glad you came. It wouldn't be the same without you." And it was true. Who else would she have gone with? Who else would she have to smile about? She laughed again. "Well, believe it." She smiled again, proud of how well the schools had done to decorate. "We wanted to give everyone something beautiful." A touch of seriousness crossed her face. "After everything everyone's been through, it's the least we could do." Were you right, was I wrong Were you weak, was I strong, yeah Both of us broken Caught in a moment

And I don't want you and I don't need you Don't bother to resist, or I'll beat you It's not your fault that you're always wrong The weak ones are there to justify the strongAlice smiled. "Well, either way, I am overjoyed that you came." She brushed her hair away from her shoulders. "I simply don't know what I would do if you were not here." Well, without Aideen, she would simply dance with another girl. No big deal. The main difference was Aideens Etoile aspirations; were it not for that, she wouldn't even be bothering with her, right? A rare look of confusion passed over Alice's face as those thoughts flowed through her. Would she abandon Aideen, if their Etoile plans fell flat? Certainly she had walked away from "relationships" with other girls, for lesser things, but someone she felt that, no, she wouldn't simply leave Aideen in her dust. How odd. The look of confusion passed quickly, replaced with an award- winning smile; she and Aideen revolved around the dance floor, Alice leading her little Russian protege. "Well, the practice had paid off, Mon Cher." She spun Aideen by the hand and then twirled her back into her arms. "But you could have no knowledge of dance, and you would still be enchanting."

Though they'd only known each other for a little while, Maiko really felt like she was starting to understand Kagami. At least just a little bit. She was really shy around new people and you had to keep in mind that could overwhelm her. Her horse was a good point of conversation to help her feel more comfortable. Maiko dutifully continued watching the girl's expression and body language for any sign that she might be getting uncomfortable. This was supposed to be an event where they could all enjoy themselves, so she didn't want Kagami feeling bad.
"Just a little is fine, Kagami-chan. I'm not all that talented, but I hope you enjoy yourself," Maiko remarked kindly as Kagami actually agreed to dance with her.
The white haired girl wasn't the only one who blushed after Shun complimented both her companions on their beauty. She could easily see how someone would find Kagami beautiful, especially in the dress she'd chosen for that evening. Anyone could see that she was the very image of a princess this evening. Herself? That was another matter. Of course her gown was of fine quality - her mother wouldn't have had it any other way. Maiko didn't think she was beautiful herself, though. Her hair was impossible to tame, she was too tall to be a true beauty and compared to all these other girls she was convinced she was rather plain.
"Um.. thank you, Sando-san. As I said before, you look very good in those clothes," Maiko managed to reply to the magician, though her blush wasn't so deep as Kagami's.
Kagami's smile made Maiko blush more than simple words could. She blinked, fidgeted and finally smiled back, "And.. thank you, Kagami-chan. If you believe it so, then who am I to argue?"
Attempting to get herself feeling less awkward, she asked both girls, "Shall we take our drinks and find somewhere to sit and talk? I suppose we shouldn't block access to the refreshments, and we'll have to wait for the next song to begin before we can try dancing."

The revelation of the girl's school and her primary club activity were a little surprising. Shun might not have guessed Spica. Perhaps it made sense that she was on the equestrian team. People who were that shy did tend to deal with animals a bit better.
The two girls blushed, although Kagami seemed to have it far worse. Shun enjoyed making a pretty girl blush. She seemed to have a certain knack for it. The right compliment in the right tone could do quite a lot. She smiled, as the compliments were returned and gave a slight nod of her head. "You are both, too kind. You have my thanks."
She felt that she could easily make a teasing remark about Maiko's ability to accept compliments from Kagami, but declined. Such a joke might be ill timed. And, as the Miator stated, it might be time to get moving towards a sitting area. Shun did enjoy a crowd, but when a crowd got annoyed with her, it was often best to take one's leave before the torches and pitchforks were brought out.
"Quite right!" she declared. Her deft hands scooped up the drinks she had already poured and soon they were in the clutches of her two newest friends. "Let us permit the other guests a cup or two. We can wait our turn for the dance floor in more comfortable arrangements."
Taking the lead, Shun made her way over to one of the empty tables that lined the walls. Plenty of room had been made for dancing, but there were also places for people to sit and relax in between songs.

She liked her too. Yuki liked her, too. Atsuko had never felt so overjoyed, so happy, than right at that moment. Yuki had the strange ability to make her feel things that she didn't know she was capable of feeling.
Atsuko cleared her throat. "Yuki...the first step to becoming an idol is, in my mind, becoming Etoile. It's my number one goal for this year." She felt her palms sweat. "And I, um, wanted to know..." She looked into the girl's eyes, full of determination. "Will you be my partner?"
Though her face was confident, she was shaking on the inside, and terrified of being rejected.

Ariana was happy that she'd met someone who was the same age as her. She didn't really know any girls her age that well. Who knew, perhaps she'd end up liking Kotomi enough to want to keep in touch with her after tonight. So far, the other redhead hadn't seemed bothered by her subtle flirtiness. Well, either that or she hadn't picked up on it.
"Alright, Kotomi-chan." Ariana offered a smile at the other girl. "Have you been enjoying your evening so far? They set it up wonderfully, didn't they?" Noting the cup in Kotomi's hand, she said "Oh, I haven't tried anything at the refreshment table yet. Is it good?" Maybe she would have a chance to enjoy herself at this party, after all.

Kotomi did agree that everything was so well organized. She smiled back at Arianna. "Yes I've been having a great time so far. The Student Council really outdid themselves with the decorations. My previous school didn't have any dances this elegant besides prom which I was too young to attend. I transferred to Spica during Spring quarter last year; I really like it here at Astraea Hill."
Arianna then asked her about the refreshments. "Oh yes, the punch is nice and tart. And the cookies just melt in your mouth nicely."
The atmosphere was simple enough to make her happy she came, but since she met Arianna, she seemed to be having more fun. She argued with herself in her mind if she should ask her to dance, but ended up losing.

"Yuki...the first step to becoming an idol is, in my mind, becoming Etoile. It's my number one goal for this year. And I, um, wanted to know... Will you be my partner?" Yukiko's eyes widened slightly, her already overloaded mind struggling to process what the other girl had just suggested. Though she had always secretly dreamed of someday becoming an Etoile, she had never imagined she would actually have the chance to earn the position. Especially not with someone as wonderful as Atsuko. But what could she do? She couldn't bear to reject the offer, even if the thought took a toll on her nerves. Smiling brightly, she nodded slowly. "Acchan... I would be honored to be your partner." She still couldn't believe all of this was actually happening. Here she was, dancing with the most beautiful girl she'd ever seen. First, the girl told Yuki she liked her. And now they were going to be running for Etoile together. It was almost too good to be true.

Atsuko really couldn't stop smiling. She was truly overjoyed that Yuki had accepted her proposal. "You have no idea how overjoyed I am...I was so afraid you were going to say no." She pulled the other girl close, burying her face on the snow white hair. "I'm so happy. I knew I wanted to run for Etoile when I first read about the school...but I never thought I'd get to run with someone so amazing." She moved back so she could look into Yuki's blue eyes. "Or someone so close to my heart."
She sighed in relief. "But that was actually really nerve wracking. You have no idea how scared I was...After all, I didn't even know if you liked the Etoile position or not!" Laughing joyfully, Atsuko pulled Yuki into a tight hug. "And just to make sure we're on the same page here," she murmered happily. "You are my girlfriend now, correct?"

"You have no idea how overjoyed I am...I was so afraid you were going to say no. I'm so happy. I knew I wanted to run for Etoile when I first read about the school...but I never thought I'd get to run with someone so amazing... Or someone so close to my heart."A gentle smile tugged at her lips. "To be honest, Acchan, I've always wanted to run for Etoile as well... But I never thought it would actually happen..." She said softly, feeling a bit embarrassed. "Especially with the girl of my dreams." Her voice softened, dripping with affection. Everything just felt so surreal. "But that was actually really nerve wracking. You have no idea how scared I was...After all, I didn't even know if you liked the Etoile position or not! And just to make sure we're on the same page here... You are my girlfriend now, correct?"Her heart began to race again as a slight panic rose in her chest. She wanted to be with Atsuko more than anything, but she couldn't help the fear the idea brought upon her. What if she wasn't girlfriend material? She could never forgive herself if she ever ended up hurting her precious Acchan... 'Stop it, Yuki! You can't let this fear keep controlling you like this! Just go for it!' With a slightly shaky breath, she nodded. "Yes Acchan, I am. And you're mine." She smiled, gazing into her eyes. "And I promise to keep your heart safe." With that, she summoned every ounce of courage she had left, and leaned in for a gentle kiss.

After the kiss, Atsuko could only stare at the precious girl before her. She blinked once, and then slowly dropped her head onto Yuki's shoulder. "Oh, god," she mumbled. "I just had my first kiss." The blonde's head was spinning, trying to take hold of the situation that was so overwhelming. First, she had told Yuki she liked her. And Yuki liked her too. And then, Atsuko had said she wanted to be Etoile with her. And Yuki had agreed. Next, not only had she confirmed their relationship status in the sweetest way possible, to top it off, the white haired girl had given Atsuko her first kiss. And it was absolutely perfect.
"Geez, how am I supposed to be the seme Etoile if I get all wobbly over one kiss?" She asked, more talking to herself than anything. "Hey, let's go get something to eat," she suggested. "I need some water, anyway." Blushing heavily, she took Yuki's hand, lacing their fingers together, and walked over to the snack table. "Yuki," she said casually. "Why do you want to be Etoile?"

"Oh, god, I just had my first kiss... Geez, how am I supposed to be the seme Etoile if I get all wobbly over one kiss?" Yukiko couldn't help the small chuckle that slipped out. 'She's just...too cute...' She thought, gently stroking the blushing blonde's hair. 'But if she thinks she's gonna be the seme Etoile...She's in for tough run.' The white haired girl smirked lightly, wondering who would ultimately reign supreme and take the seme title for herself. Her thoughts were soon interrupted by her girlfriend's voice. "Hey, let's go get something to eat. I need some water, anyway.""Okay, Acchan." She nodded, happily enjoying the gentle touch of her hand as they walked to the table. Holding hands was such a simple gesture, yet to Yukiko, it felt like the most amazing thing in the world. Out of pure instinct, she immediately filled a cup of water for Atsuko, taking care not to spill any. After all, it was the seme's job to provide for her uke. "Yuki, why do you want to be Etoile?" The question surprised the girl, and it took her a few moments to form an honest answer. "Well, Acchan... This may sound kind of silly, but... When I think of the Etoile competition, I think of the fairytales my brother used to read to me... Two girls sharing an unbreakable bond, not being afraid to show their love to the world..." She smiled dreamily, a light blush tinting her cheeks. "And I've always wondered what it would be like to be up there, with my sweet princess by my side." Laughing sheepishly, she averted her gaze, clearly embarrassed. "I guess you could said I'm a sucker for a good love story."

People like us we've gotta stick together Keep your head up, nothing lasts foreverThe blush that appeared on Maikos face made Kagami giggle a bit; it was cute. When it got deeper at Kagamis smile, she couldn't help but smile; had she done that? Kagami accepted the drink from Shun with a shy smile in thanks, then followed the two girls to the tables. As she was walking, thoughts raced through Kagamis mind; she was starting to feel more comfortable around Maiko, although she couldn't forget the fear she had; the fear that history would repeat itself, and at her expense. But no; she shook her head, trying to clear her thoughts. She couldn't think like that. She had to be positive. Maiko had been nothing but kind to her, and even her new companion, Shun, seemed like a really good person. A tiny smile formed against Kagamis will; was she finally making friends? She sat at the table, holding her cup with both hands. Purple eyes looked between the two other girls as she sipped from the liquid, still holding her small, shy smile. Kagami looked around, thinking about how happy her sister would've been seeing her interacting with people. She looked over at Shun, wanting to learn more about her new potential friend. "Wh-what school do you go to, Shun- San?" Here's to the damned, to the lost and forgotten It's hard to get high when you're living on the bottom

Maiko had come to the Winter Ball with no real expectations of how things would go. Now she had two girls to talk with whom made for excellent company. She was happy to have Shun lead the way to the table, as she was trying to be extra careful to not spill her drink. This was harder than it looked when you also had a small purse to worry about as well.
When they took their seats at the table Maiko started brainstorming. She'd decided she wanted to at least become friends with Shun. The Lulim magician was polite and quite a unique character in her own right. Kagami was already her friend and seemed to be getting more comfortable around Maiko. Maiko had heard that there would be special Christmas activities on Astraea Hill, and felt like she should get gifts for some of her friends. That list now included Kagami and Shun. But what to get them? This would take a while to really figure out what sort of things to get for them.
The more she thought about this, the more she studied both girls at the table with her. She began to wonder what being a lovely assistant to Shun would be like. Maybe she'd even get 'cut in half' by the magician. Then her eyes drifted over to Kagami and she smiled at seeing the girl being more comfortable at their table. Kagami really was quite stunning in her dress. She was also cute, kind and Maiko enjoyed doing things with her, helping her regain her confidence. A little bit stirred in Maiko's heart at that moment - just a little flutter. She immediately told it to calm down. Everyone at the table were just friends right now.
She sipped her drink quietly while Kagami asked Shun what school she attended. Then her purse vibrated again. Doing her best to hide what she was doing Maiko carefully opened the purse and stared inside. On the display of her phone was another message from her mother. This one was suggesting a time and place to meet one of the suitors she'd chosen for Maiko. Frowning, Maiko snapped her purse shut and returned her attention to the ball. Searching the dancing girls for someone she knew, Maiko was surprised to see who she thought were Atsuko and Yukiko. Together.. very close together. Was it possible that...
"Good for them," she murmured with a slightly sad smile. Then she took another sip of her drink and remained quiet so Shun could answer Kagami.
