Title:  dance floor kiss
 

Jessie's dance shoes clicked as she walked across the
hardwood floor.  There weren't any lights on, it was a
private studio and she was the only one using it right
now.  She turned on the sterio and the music trickled
through the speakers and throughout the room.
She stretched, touched her toes, went down into the
splits, rolled her neck.  She closed her eyes and
could feel the night all around her.  She had gotten
into the habit of practicing her dances in the dead of
night, when the sound of musical notes playing in
through the stereo and the clicking of her shoes was
all there was to be heard.
"So this is why you're always so tired during the day.
 You're down here in the middle of the night,"  Jonny
Quest said as he shut the door to the studio behind
him.
Jessie smiled warmly and agreed, "Yep, I guess that
would be the reason.  But what are you doing down here
this late?"
"Got up to get a drink and saw the light on,"  he
replied cooly.
"So what are you going to do now that you're down here
and obviously wide awake?"  Jessie asked walking
closer to him and coming up just a couple inches short
of where he was standing.
He grinned and pulled out one of the chairs that was
pushed up against the wall.  He swung it around and
sat in it backwards.  He looked up at Jessie and said,
"well, can I watch?"
"There's nothing to 'watch'.  I'm just stretching and
practicing and stuff, I look really stupid because I
have a part where I have a dancing partner, but when I
practice, I have to pretend someone's there."  Jessie
was used to his outwardness and how he went along with
whatever she was doing.
"couldn't I sub in for your partner for now?"
Jessie raised one eyebrow. It was a well known fact,
for their family atleast, that Jonny had two left
feet. But she got an idea that if he was willing to
dance this once, (come to think of it, it was weird
that he had even suggested it), if she could show him
how to dance this one little part, then maybe... nah,
not Jonny.
She just shrugged and walked back across the studio to
the stereo and switched cds in the CD player.  When
she turned around she almost ran into him because he
had been standing right behind her.  He laughed a
little and held on her shoulder to help steady her
because she had momentarily lost balance and had
almost fallen.  She hadn't heard him come up behind
her, but that was probably because he had bare feet.
She smiled to herself, he looked kinda good with just
a loose pair of pants on, she'd seen him wearing just
that around the house before, but he looked especially
cute in the half light that drifted in from the
window.  His blonde hair was in a slight disarray as
usual, and his deep blue eyes twinkled.
"Do you want to try to learn it?"  She asked looking
up into his saphirre blue eyes.
"Why do you think I'm standing here?"  He retorted
smiling mischeiviously.
She held up her right hand and he held up his left,
mirroring her.  She guided his hand to clasp hers.
Then she put she put her left hand on his shoulder and
instructed him to do the same to hers.
The music played the entire time and soon they forgot
about Jonny helping her with her dance and they just
slow danced.  Jessie rested her head on Jonny's
shoulder and closed her eyes.  She wanted to stay this
way with him forever.  She lifted her head to look at
him.  He had been watching her and what she looked up
their eyes met and linked.  Neither of them said
anything, but Jessie caught her breath as Jonny dipped
his head and closed his mouth over his.  they stopped
dancing and let go of hands as Jessie looped her arms
around his neck and he held her waist.  Slowly and
tentativly they pulled away and looked into
eachothers' eyes...
