Naito shook his head. "Not really, besides, you're pretty cute when you're dancing." He continued dancing while going into a gentle sway.

Tilly squealed happily at Ger's nuzzle. She cast one more disappointed look around for Roland, then climbed over his head and onto his back. She curled up near the base of Ger's neck, her head up and watching the room with interest.
Ivan began to feel a comfortable sense of flowing. Opening one eye, he saw that Raisa had also closed her eyes and was swaying to his rythem. It was almost time. In time with his own music, Ivan slowly moved and stood next to Raisa, falling back into the sway. With each sway he stepped a little closer to her, until their fur was brushing together. He waited there, waiting to see if she would accept it.
Inside Garaden, the running around feeling had become so fierce he thought it would explode from him. The only thing preventing him from climbing the walls and announcing to the world what he was feeling about Blair was the pressure of her head against him. He wasn't sure which feeling was making him happier.
Halcyon continued her dance, but her eyes widened in suprise. A soft blush crept up her face and she smiled. "Thank you." She whispered. Not realizing it, she fell into Naito's swaying.

Ammy nodded her head agreeing with Atreyu. She looked around watching everyone. She barked to Atreyu asking if there was going to be anything else happening at the party.
Rudolf looked down from Endless' intent gaze. "Great!" He said smiling, "Perhaps maybe meet we party after. To experience winter." He stopped dancing his legs starting to hurt a little. "Go food find?"
Ger sighed when Tilly climbed up and laid on his neck. "So what am I supposed to parade you around the room?" He asked shaking his head.

Raisa was completely lost in the dance when she felt fur toughing her and she opened her eyes, about to jump away but noticed it was just Ivan. She closed her eyes again and drifted back into the music- Her eyes flew open again and she looked to him, extremely curious that he switched from dancing in front of her to dancing beside her like the other couples were. She stared at him for a moment longer and then closed her eyes again, drifting back to dancing at his rhythm beside him; leaning towards him.
Atreyu smirked at Ammy and nodded his head.
"I'm going to need you to open the window Ammy because I'm about to head back out to the backyard and when you hear my howl, I'm going to need you to get everyone near the window. I just have a little surprise to end the night with it. Can you do me this favor?" He asked, tilting his head.
"Okay. I'm starting to get hungry and those cookies smell really good." Endless stopped dancing and stretched her legs out for a moment. She looked and noticed a fruit cup Tilly had eaten earlier and looked to Rudolf. "Oh, you guys have fruit too? That sounds good too." She said with a nod.
Blair was feeling so many different things all at once. First she was definitely in the christmas spirit now with the music and the horrible singing that Kai was providing them. Second, she had never felt more content in her life than beside Garaden right now. And third, she like she was experiencing a new feeling that she knew her mother could have never prepared her for. Then again, she was happy she wasn't prepared for it.. she was enjoying what she was feeling. She tried not to lean too much of her own weight against Garaden but she was enjoying being close to him.

Naito kept dancing with her. "You're welcome. Perhaps we should have done this sooner."

Ammy tilted her head curious as to what the surprise is. She barked saying sure and that the room was a little stuffy. She walked over to the window and stood on her hind legs. She tried to open the window but couldn't. She barked to Roxas, who was just sitting there, to open the window. He came over an opened it taking a breath of fresh air.
Rudolf smiled at Endless and led the way to the food. He jumped up and took a couple of cookies starting to eat one. "Believe there be fruit cups." He said finishing a cookie, "Cookies good really."

Tilly turned her head to look at Ger when he spoke. Not knowing what he said, she simply smiled her usual tongue-hanging-out-the-front smile and flapped her tail against his back.
Garaden sighed to himself. Could life get any better? Probably, he answered himself, but that time would be a while coming. He wanted time to find out more about Blair. He turned his head and snuggled her head under his chin.
Watching her mixed reactions, Ivan calmed down when she didn't bolt from him. She was leaning toward him! He needed to tell her. He felt the need trying to claw out his chest. Mustering every bit of courage he possessed, he cleared his throat. "Raisa? ...Remember when I said I had something to tell you?" He asked quietly, almost supersticiously afraid that speaking too loud would scare her away.
Halcyon looked up at him and grinned. "Yes. Perhaps we should have."

Raisa opened one eye and looked at him slightly.
"Hm?" She listened to him and then nodded. "Oh yeah, I totally forget to ask you what you wanted to say, I'm sorry. What was it you wanted to tell me?" She asked, tilting her head slightly.
Endless rose on her back legs and grabbed a few cookies. She devoured the cookies happily and looked up at Rudolf.
"They are good... I didn't know you knights knew how to cook." She said, laughing. She noticed the box and looked to Rudolf. "Would you like a fruit cup?"
Blair nuzzled against Garaden, vaguely hearing the music being turned down.
"We should hang out sometime Garaden." Blair said lightly. She knew, at least outside of this setting, they could play a game or even explore.
"Thanks Ammy." Atreyu quickly bowed to her and trotted past Kai.
"Kai, keep quiet for a minute and turn the music down just a bit." Atreyu said to him. Kai looked confused at first and then tilted his head.
"Why?"
"Just do it please. I'll give you a cupcake later."
"I will remember you owe me a cupcake Atreyu." Kai said, pawing at the volume and turning it down slightly so that it was still audible but not as loud as before.
"Thanks!" Atreyu raced out of the room, down the hall and out the front door as quickly as he could. He raced around the house and slid to a halt in front of Zarin and Dagger who were sitting a comfortable distance from each other and talking. Dagger perked up when he saw his mate and raced to meet him. The two exchanged a few loving nuzzles and then turned to Zarin.
"Alright you crazy dummy..." Dagger said and Zarin scowled at him.
"Shut up!" Zarin turned to a large stick and lifted his paw, a bright, fierce hot light appeared at once and sparked the wood. Dagger Lifted the stick which was on fire and looked to Atreyu.
"Ready!"
"Alright..." Atreyu looked up at the window and smiled. "I hope they enjoy this...." He threw back his head and let out a loud, deep howl.

Ammy sat for a moment before she heard Atreyu's howl. She got and began barking frantically telling everyone to come to the window. She ran around the room herding everyone to the window.
Ger looked at Tilly by craning his neck around. "Figures..." He mumbled. Just then Ammy came running by telling him to go to the window. "Why?" He asked as she nipped at his heels, "Alright! I'm going!" He walked over to the window carrying Tilly.
Rudolf finished his cookie and laughed. "We not make it. Roxas did." He said pointing to Roxas," Love I fruit cup." He looked at Ammy as she came running by confused. "Window? Why?" He asked to have her ram into him, "Fine go I. Endless join window me?"

Naito smiled for a bit. "Well I guess every good conversation starts with this. What are your interests?" He then heard Atreyu's howl as he turned around to see what was going on.

Garaden's eyes widened in pleasant suprise. It was like she had read his mind! "I would love to be with- hang out with you." He squinched his eyes nervously, wondering if she had noticed his rephrasing. Suddenly Ammy started barking like crazy. "What?" He asked, a little irritated that the moment had been disrupted. He looked at Blair and half smiled. "I don't know what's going on, but would you care to join me at the window?"
"Well, I just-" Ivan cleared his throat again, his old nerves trying to close him up. Taking a deep breath and swallowing, he turned to look her in the face. "Raisa, I-" He got distracted by Atreyu's howl in the distance and Ammy's sudden burst of barking and herding. Though on the outside he appeared to be watching with mild curiosity, inside he was near panic. 'What? No!' He wanted to tell Raisa how he felt, but she was sure to get excited about whatever was happening outside. He stood in his place, torn.
Tilly watched Ammy and began laughing, yipping loudly. She stood, placing her front paws on Ger's head to look out the window.
Halcyon started thinking about her interests when Ammy got her attention. She gave Naito a quizzical look, gestured with her head to one of the windows and headed for it, looking out at three figures in the yard. "I hope nothing's wrong." She said.

Dagger raced to the first three fireworks and lit them, jumping back and steering clear of them as they ignited and shot up into the sky, exploding into a bright array of colors.
Atreyu finished howling and began to frolic through the various fireworks they had set up for everyone.
"I'm definitely going to have to thank Ivan for coming up with this celebration idea later." He said to Dagger and Zarin.
"Stop hopping around like that or you'll get mud on me!" Zarin yelped, moving away from Atreyu.
Dagger waited until that display of fireworks had finished in the sky before he moved to the next two.
She moved to sit in front of him and opened her mouth to say something but she looked to Ammy and then at the window where everyone was gathered. Shaking her head, she looked back at Ivan.
"I wonder what's going on...." Her tail wagged excitedly when she heard Atreyu's howl coming from outside. She looked back Ivan happily and smiled at him before looking back at the window when the fireworks started.
"What were you going to say Ivan?" She asked, though she didn't look to him, she was paying close attention to him.
Kai turned the music down completely and moved to the window as he heard the fireworks beginning to explode in the sky.
"Oh, that wolf stole my fireworks." He laughed and shook his head. "Eh," He sat down and looked up into the sky that he could see from the large window and watched the display.
Endless watched Ammy running about and followed her as she moved towards the window again. She nodded when he asked her if she wanted to join him and she looked towards the window where everyone was beginning to gather.
"I wonder what's going on...." She thought aloud just as the first fireworks exploded in the sky. She jumped and let out a loud bark.
Blair nodded in agreement and then looked at Ammy as she began to bark. She frowned slightly, wondering if something had happened and noticed that everyone was moving towards the window.
"Of course I would love to." She said with a quick nod.

Ammy raced back to the window after herding everyone. She watched the fireworks her tail wagging madly.
Gerwulf stood tall so that Tilly would have a good view. He watched the explosions in the sky his tail wagging slightly. "So Tilly can you see?"
Rudolf looked back at Endless when she barked. He walked over to her quickly wondering what was wrong. "Wrong what Endless? Loud too much?" He asked his concern showing in his eyes.

Naito stared at the fireworks in wonder. "Wow! They look so beautiful!" He then smiled a bit. "They look as beautiful as your eyes."
