Backdated to Friday Night.

[x-scarletwitch.livejournal.com]

Wanda and Kurt go out dancing like they had planned. Despite some lack of knowledge of the dancing style, they manage to do well enough to catch someone's attention.



The music was loud enough that it had reached them on the outside of the club, definately a good sign. An even better sign had been the short weight to get in, surprising for New York and a Friday night but the crowds were club jumping rather fierce, meaning entry in was surpisingly smooth.

Wanda grinned as she got a good look around. Besides, this wasn't a normal club...she'd dragged Kurt out to a bit of a salsa place.


Not his usual style, but he was adjusting well enough. He looked around the club, smiling slightly through his induced image.

Leaning over, she grabbed his arm and gave a slight tug. "Come on, handsome," she giggled, "the dance floor is waiting for us. Just follow the beat!"

Kurt laughed, bowed slightly, and walked with her to the dance floor. "Then dance we shall."

Laughing some more as they swept out onto the floor, Wanda forced herself to let go of all of her worries. The music flowed over them as they moved together, learning from each other and picking up on subtle cues that only someone who loved the dance would understand.

Kurt was grinning broadly as the dance finished, with another bow to Wanda. "Another, or would the lady care for a drink break?"

"I think a drink break would be nice," she responded, a little out of breath. "It has been a very long time since I have done this. What about you?"


"This particular dance? I have to admit it is not one I was familiar with, before tonight."

"But you are a fast learner, I'll give you that, along with being very good on your feet." Leaning over the bar, Wanda ordered two drinks for them. "I am not very familiar with it, either, though I think we did more than well out there."


"I think we held our own", he agreed, grinning. "Have you been to this particular club before?"

"Once or twice when I first got here," Wanda admitted, handing him his drink. Turning, she leaned against the bar. "But I haven't managed to get out much lately, too many things going on."

"Excuse me?" A small girl suddenly appeared at their elbows and grinned. "Sorry, I couldn't help but overhear that you two aren't familiar with this dance...because you guys rocked, totally."

Wanda and Kurt exchanged an amused glance. "Thank you?"

"Here, you might want to take a look at this." She shoved a flier at them. "It's in a few weeks, see you there!"

Glancing at it curiously, she laughed. "Kurt, it's an ad for a dancing competition..."


Kurt blinked. "...well, it would not be the first time I have competed. The first time in some while, though..."

"You've competed before?"


"Once or twice, though not on any level approaching the professional. For fun, only."

Wanda looked over the ad and smiled. "Well, this seems to be for fun. What do you say?"


"I think we should do it, if you would like."

"I would very much like to, though we shall have to practice." There was an evil glint to her eyes when she smiled. "This is going to be fun. Drink up, Kurt, there is more dancing to be done this evening!"


Kurt laughed and finished off the remains of his drink, offering his arm. "Of course."

Wanda followed suit and slipped her arm through his. "Let us show them how this is done," she teased as they slipped back onto the dance floor.
