004--Cinderella. Sort of.

[Rose is wearing a ballgown, all done up, and looking sort of flustered.

And she's missing a shoe.]

Definitely easier to hide here than in the hedges. Someone always finds me when I'm--

[Cut off by her phone ringing, playing 'Brown Eyed Girl' as the ringtone]

....oh, no. It's Mum. [Presses the ignore button] She really needs to find a hobby that doesn't involve setting me up with every pretty boy she's introduced to.

[laughs, hugging her] 'Course I do. Missing shoe and all.

[dameluckypants.livejournal.com]

[Hugs FTW] Thanks.

[salvagestime.livejournal.com]

[hugs are just awesome] Too bad to waste a dress, though.

[dameluckypants.livejournal.com]

[Hugs rock toe socks] Waste the dress?

[salvagestime.livejournal.com]

Well, yeah. Dunno about you but if I'm in fancy dress, I'd best have a reason to be. Might have something to do with the cursed tux, though.

[dameluckypants.livejournal.com]

Not still wearing that thing, are you? I thought I got rid of it.

[salvagestime.livejournal.com]

Ohhh, it's...in the wardrobe somewhere. Haven't brought it out in a long while.

[dameluckypants.livejournal.com]

Oh really?

[salvagestime.livejournal.com]

Last time I brought it out was for a fancy party Martha and I went to, actually, about...oooh, a year ago? Ish?

[dameluckypants.livejournal.com]

Something bad happened, then, didn't it?

[salvagestime.livejournal.com]

Yep! Someone went and changed what it means to be human. It was actually part of the Master's plan but I didn't know it at the time. I was too busy fighting this scorpion-human-hybrid...thing.

[dameluckypants.livejournal.com]

....yeah, go figure.

[salvagestime.livejournal.com]

Haven't worn it since, though.

[dameluckypants.livejournal.com]

....good idea.

[salvagestime.livejournal.com]

I really like that suit sometimes, though. I found the Declaration of Independence in it!

[dameluckypants.livejournal.com]

--did you really?

[salvagestime.livejournal.com]

Yep! Just a draft and all. Still, that was fun.

[dameluckypants.livejournal.com]

Sounds like it.

[salvagestime.livejournal.com]

[nods vaguely] Oh, yeah, it was. Loads of fun. [makes a face, obviously thinking about something and rubbing the back of his neck] You know, 's funny but I just thought that I haven't really danced with you.

[dameluckypants.livejournal.com]

[Blinks at the random] Guess you haven't. Bit weird, really, considering, well...everything.

[salvagestime.livejournal.com]

[rubs his neck a little longer before standing slowly and holding out his hand to Rose] What do you say?

[dameluckypants.livejournal.com]

[Waits for a confused minute, before laughing and taking it] Sounds brilliant.

[salvagestime.livejournal.com]

[beams and pulls her up, adjusting into a more or less typical waltz sort of position, keeping a hand on her waist and holding the other] Hope I'm not too rusty, eh?

[dameluckypants.livejournal.com]

[Waltz position, yay] No half nelsons this time, yeah?

[salvagestime.livejournal.com]

[mock-offended face] Oi! No confidence at all in my moves? [and he starts dancing. it's a little awkward but he's nervous :<]
