Summary: It's an excuse to pump dance music really really loudly, tbh.

The party was put together ridiculously fast, but everyone who decided to help went all out, and the place is pretty damn awesome. There are refreshments, strobe lights, a loudass music setup, and lots of space to dance. Come on in and have a blast! Garden will be sailing off in the morning, and then it's back to school. Time to get in that last hurrah!

"He is. He's told me all about it. Their ship sounds amazing."

"Crunchy stuff?" Well, that could have been a lot of things. "What was your favorite?"

[fionna_time]

Fionna nodded, pointing to a snack that looked a lot like a pate. "That! I have no idea what its called though."

She smiled. "Yeah, I hear stuff mostly from Thatch or Namur. They're pretty cool when they're not reminding you how young you are."

[trainedbywarlords]

Kory decided she was going to try it then. She moved closer to the table to get a plate so she could dish up some of the pate and get some crackers to try it on.

"Oh is that so? I've spoken with Thatch before. He's very nice. I haven't really had much chance to speak with Namur yet."

[fionna_time]

"Don't forget the punch!" Fionna said, handing her some.

She smiled. "He's a grumpy fish, but he's cool."

[trainedbywarlords]

"Oh, thank you." She took the offered punch with a smile, taking a sip of the punch before trying the pate.

"I think that's what Thatch told me too. So I guess it must be true."

[fionna_time]

Fionna sometimes had the memory of a sieve. The punch, in typical Thatch fashion, was spiked.

"I like him, he just messes with me a lot, even when he's teaching me stuff. Did you already take biology?"

[trainedbywarlords]

Kory didn't notice anything about the taste. Even if she had, she would have assumed it was something with how it was made here. For the moment, though, she was having no problems with it.

"I have friends who do the same thing to me. I did. I took biology two trimesters ago."

[fionna_time]

Fionna was drinking in spurts, so at the moment, she is not drunk yet. As she also weighs a little more than most girls here though, she was feeling a little tipsy.

"Hey, do you dance?"

[trainedbywarlords]

She looks up and smiles as she finishes her punch.

"I do! I like dancing! I was pretty good at the ballroom dancing class." She didn't know much else relating to dancing.

[fionna_time]

This could not have been better news to Fionna. She downed the punch, hiccuping, the turned to Kori.

"Could you show me? I have to take it this trimester."

[trainedbywarlords]

"Of course! I'd happy to show you. Right now? It would probably be better if I lead since I've already taken the class after all."

And she will be ready to go with her out on to the dance floor if she wants to dance some of the ballroom moves.

[fionna_time]

"Dude, by all means. No way I'd be leading when I know that I'll just trip over my own feet!"

Fionna followed, cautiously. Tipsy or not, trying to dance was definitely going to sober her up.

[trainedbywarlords]

Kory chuckled and started for the dance floor, not before offering Fionna her hand to walk out there with her.

"It's okay. I felt the first way when I first started dancing. It gets easier. Usually most dances start with the same basic moves and it gets fancier from there."

[fionna_time]

Fionna gratefully took her hand, of course. She had no idea how you even started this, had only seen bits and pieces of this kind of thing in Gumball's balls.

"I usually, you know, bounce around and stuff when I dance. How does this work?"

[trainedbywarlords]

Once they are out on the dance floor Kory turned to her. "Well, the basic of it is we stand facing each other, you put your hands here-" She guided Fionna's hands to where they were supposed to be. "The person who is leading, their hands go here-" And she moved her hands.

"Then it is a very basic step. I step towards you and you step back, then we step to the side, then we do the reverse and we keep doing that. It's done slowly. One two three, one two three."

And she would try to show her how to do it.

[fionna_time]

"Oh, uh, ok," Fionna said, apparently forgetting how intimate this stuff was. It was nothing like what she and Namur were doing earlier, where you got to use all your awesome agility and flips! This was just...really close. Was that why all those couples were into it so much?

One two three. One tw-trip stumble. Ok, try that again. One two th-ow, stubbed toe.

"This seems harder than it should be."

[trainedbywarlords]

It was more intimate, but Kory had no problems unless Fionna did. She didn't have the same issues with being close to others that some people did. She knows they are just friends so she doesn't see the need to worry about it.

"It's okay. We can go slower."

[fionna_time]

The only adjustment Fionna had to make was the lack of movement...and the fact that going this slow made Fionna a total klutz for some reason. The intimacy was really more of a "not much space to move" thing.

"Er, ha, yeah, let's do that. I'm kinda sucking right now."

[trainedbywarlords]

She nodded. "Okay, we'll do that. And we can take a step back for practicing."

She moved her hands so they could take a step apart. Maybe that would make it easier.

[fionna_time]

Fionna stepped back, and this time, she actually gave a good attempt, klutziness aside. She was blushing pretty bad though, for good reason.

"T-thanks," she mumbled. "I've always been not so great at dances like these."

[trainedbywarlords]

"That's fine. I wasn't either when I first started taking the class."

And she showed her again, a bit slower this time.

[fionna_time]

"This is the way they dance at balls in my world too," Fionna confided. "But never did that, because, you know, more of a looker, not a girl that was gonna be swept off her feet or whatever. It feels weird trying to do it now, so different from just moving around and flipping."

She did try to mimic Starfire now though.

[trainedbywarlords]

"What do you mean? I'm sure there is someone who would want to dance with you. You are a very sweet person. But it does make it harder to learn. The only ones I've learned are partner. Maybe... after this you could show me yours?"

She took it slow and counted the steps for Fionna.

[fionna_time]

Fionna laughed. "Here? I dunno how many people can actually do tat ballroom stuff. I guess I can always ask some of my bros, some of them might maybe know, but I doubt it. 'Sides, I always though this kinda dance is better taught like this, but, you know, with a dress."

She gestured to her usual state of dress, blue shirt, skirt, knee high socks and, of course, her bunny hat.

"Show you my dancing? You didn't see it?"

[trainedbywarlords]

"Here or at home. Here all of the cadets have to learn it at some point so it seems more if they have taken the class. It is easier to actually do this, but I don't think people would want to learn it the exact moment you needed it."

"I saw briefly." She's been running around all evening.
