6. Moves Like Jagger - Maroon 5 feat. Christina Aguilera
Shining’s training had included magic drills, marching, martial arts, spear and sword training and comportment amongst nobility. None of it had included dancing.
His left front hoof shot out at an odd angle. He tried to compensate by flicking his tail jauntily. It didn’t work. His right hind hoof met another pony’s shin.
“Ouch!”
“Whoops! Sorry, sir.”
The stallion moved off, rubbing his injured leg. Shining turned the same shade as a ladybug and ducked his head. Cadence’s giggle brought it back up.
“Soon we’ll have the whole dance floor to ourselves,” she said.
“And the whole room will have my hoofmarks on them.” That would sure make a good impression when it came to selecting the next captain. Not that he cared much about that right now. Cadnece’s laughter did funny things to his insides and even dancing in public didn’t faze him as much as usual. Typically he resisted dancing in public the way an anaemic avoided cheese graters, but tonight was not made for hang-ups and inhibitions.
Cadence danced like she did everything – elegantly. She circled left and he took her lead, circling right. The light reflected off the jewels woven into her mane, playing across her face in dozens of tiny prismatic rainbows. She looked like something out of a dream.
And she was dancing with him, Mr Four Left Hooves.
Valiantly, he tried again, ignoring the way other ponies left the floor before he could get too close.
Dance time! Wow, nice descriptive scene!
Way to put a positive/humorous spin on it mare... keep up the good work pink princess!
I also note that SHE appears to remain uninjured, but so either his focus on her means he can miss her at least, or she is graceful enough to dodge due to that same level of focus or they are just statically synced... or some combination of all three.
Also, I wonder if she didn't pick up her aunt's tea-trolling ways when it comes to noble parties, and thus why she DIDN'T switch to slow-dancing (my brother informs me one can slow-dance to anything) to reduce injuries.
Also, he gets better by the wedding... must be lots of practice, either some on his own or just with her.
