Singular Entities

Dancers

The band played a slow tune as the dancers spun and twirled in slow circles and orbits, stepping in time with the slow beat and tune of the music.

Two of the dancers, older than most of the others, made their own way across the floor, independent of the others as they swirled and twisted through the others. But when the singer started, crooning softly into the microphone, the pair stopped, dead centre of the dance floor as the other couples kept their orbits.

I want to live life
Never be cruel

The couple started spinning, clockwise whilst the others rotated widdershins

I want to live life
And be good to you

They span slowly, each of them simply leaning against the other as they turned

I want to fly
And never come down

Both of them wore simple dresses, made for practicality more than style

Live my life
Have friends around

Yet one dress was made to accommodate the wings of the Pegasus within, while the partner rested a slender horn against the other’s back

We never change do we?
No, no

The band’s tune turned eerie as the dance floor acted as one, each partner dipping their other as the music played across the floor, each pair becoming whole as one

We never learn do we?

The pair in the centre brought themselves back together and closer, finishing in their hug once again

So I want to live
In a wooden house

A pause as the eerie music wafted across the hall, then they started turning again, their directions reversed

I want to live life
Always be true

Again, they settled back into the slow turn as the music flowed past them, the orbits of the dancers back in place

I want to live life
And be good to you

The dim lighting was provided by the stage and a single candle-lit chandelier, high above.

I want to fly
And never come down

It wasn’t much, but it was enough to show the milky-blue and lavender-grey coats of the two ponies dancing below, the sun amongst the planets.

Live my life
Have friends around

No-pony noticed the details though; they were all watching their other partner.

We never change do we?
No, no

Again, the eerie noise echoed throughout the hall. Again the partners dipped.

We never learn do we?

Again the partners lifted and again, the partners hugged.

So I want to live
In a wooden house

Then they stopped, the partners simply rocking from side to side in time with the music

And making more friends
Would be easy

One held out their hoof to the other and the other took it, a smile present on every face

Oh and I don't have a soul to save

As one, half the dancers started spinning, their hooves guided in circles by the rest

Yes, and I sin every single day

They span and span and span, until the centre of the system saw just black and blue, repeated in a blur

We never change, do we?

And as abruptly as it had begun, it stopped.

We never learned to leave.

And the dancers spun and twirled upon the dance floor.

So, I want to live in a wooden house,
Making more friends would be easy,
I want to live where the sun comes out.

Author's Note:

Not so much Out-and-Out TwiDash as what is implied.
Also, this little idea came thanks to Timeaus and his song-prompt collection.

[Shrek the Ogre]

Goes along nicely with Bits. Could you link the song in the beginning?

D'aawww, I'm touched. I love the implied TwiDash in this chapter, and you described the dancing really well! I give you TwiDash and another adorable picture:
