“I came on my own” May replied with a smile, her eyes darting over to the scene that was going on not to far from them. “Look at that.” She piped up in amusement as a boy with fox tails on his pants mistook another male for a female. The scene caused a giggle as she pointed with her head, as to not seem rude.
But almost as soon as she did, her eyes caught on something else. A female was staring at the duo as well, with the feel that she knew them. May this time turned to point with her head at the girl to her own companion. “See her? I think she knows one of them.”
“Come on.” She motioned for Sommer to follow her, taking her cup with her. When May reached the other woman she smiled friendly and spoke “You know one of those two over there?” She asked with a giggle.
However, almost as soon as the words escaped her lips, one of the males pointed at her and motioned for her to come. An idea popped in her head almost instantly.
“Want to dance?” She asked “As a joke.” She added almost as an after thought. Where had this idea come from? Maybe that punch was spiked.

The woman turned her head, a little startled as two women approached her. It seems she wasn't the only one watching the two males banter. Her lips curved into a smile as she inclined her head. "I do," she replied warmly, glancing at the men before turning her attention to the women, "the animal that isn't dressed like one." Her gloved fingertips touched her lips to cover a grin; she really shouldn't talk about Irene like that, but it was just so...perfect.
She watched the males out of the corner of her eyes, just enough to see her date motioning for her to come to him. Ah, apparently he wanted to use her as an apology to the man? How...sweet. Although it wasn't visible behind her concealing mask, her eyebrows lifted in surprise at the offer to dance; now wouldn't that be a sight! Before she could stop herself, she extended her gloved hands in a graceful motion to both of the women, not wanting to leave the quiet companion out if she wanted a part of the fun. "The men here are so dull, and it might make them think twice, hmm? I'd love to dance."

May giggled and winked at Sommer, assuring her it was only good fun. A nearby waiter walked by and May gently set down her cup on his tray before accepting the hand. “I think it might.” May agreed with a good natured giggle.
“I think there’s a lovely spot right over…there. Perfect for the three of us.” May motioned to a spot near the center of the dance floor, right in the boy’s line of view. Ah, she wasn’t wrong when she thought she would have fun tonight.

Kyuubi had to refrain himself. If women could get a sense of protection from him, it would be because he scared most people away with looks. But Irene didn't need to know that. As for having a good heart... He was mischievous, loved teasing people, and a shameless flirt. He had to wonder if those were qualities one with a good heart had.
But rather than make an a** of himself, which he actually enjoyed doing, he remained silent and watched the woman that Irene had pointed to. She was, indeed, a stunning woman. He had to admit he would enjoy dancing with her. And then two other women had approached her... And right when he was about to approach as well... She was offering her hand? ...Had a woman just snatched away his potential dancing partner? Kyuubi wasn't sure whether he should be miffed or think that the sight of two women dancing together was sexy...

Following May hadn’t been hard, most people around here were courteous enough to get out of the way. She smiled at the other woman and listened to her and May talking. At the offer to dance Sommer just so managed to hide a grin behind her hand. She hadn’t missed the mischievous air between the two women, and couldn’t help but look back at the two men not too far away. This would be interesting.
“Want to bet you’ll cause a ruckus with all those stuffy old people?” She chuckled and slowly backed away, giving the two women a clear path to the dance floor.

His eyes widend for an instant, followed by the growing rage and embarrassment in realizing that he was probably ignored by Crystal. It had never occured to him that this girl would defy his gestures. He was too good for rejections! Irene's mind boiled in a cocktail of emotions. No...he had to calm down...he had to think of something fast.
Turning back to the other man, he smiled self-mockingly. "But then again, there are some ladies who just don't know their places. Perhaps we should walk to the center, where more people are located instead?"
With that he bowed, and gestured, with his gloved hand, to Kyuubi, inviting him to walk ahead as if he was the lady. He'd look after those women...how could they do this? Irene made a mental note to have a little talk with Crystal when this is all over.

"Why don't we show them what dancing is all about?" Kyuubi purred mischievously, taking the offered hand with his own and following Irene. Oh, this would be good. It would be entertaining to see how all of those stuffed-shirts reacted to this.
Kyuubi had to stop himself from snickering. Really, it was too perfect. He was really enjoying subtly crashing this stuck-up ball. It needed some fun. That's what the Kitsune man lived to do. Make mischief.

"Sometimes, those stuffy old people need to have a ruckus to remember what it's like to live," she said matter of factly, smiling at the women. She curled her arm through Sommer's, holding onto May's hand, walking towards the floor with her head held high. Lowering her voice so only the two could hear, she said, "My name is Crystal. I must say, it's a pleasure to meet two free spirits like yourselves." If Irene wanted a challenge, well...he could consider himself challenged! She wasn't going to settle for second, although in her date's book, she doubted she was even on the list!
Crystal twirled onto the dance floor, her dress flaring like a monotone flower, her hands reaching for the other two. She was still smiling, but it was curled strangely, making her masked face very mischevious. Her grey eyes moved only briefly to see what the men were doing, her playful smile turning into an amused grin, displaying her perfect white teeth. It seems the five people had just started a game of hardball.

"Sir?"
Irene hesitantly looked up at the other man. Was this another invitation to dance? What was wrong with him? Did this poor fellow really lost his mind? Was he really desperate enough to the extent that he was willing to dance with another man? Irene's mind was in a state of conflict. The two things that he was taught, pleasing others and make a good reputation for himself, were crashing at each other. He had to make a smart decision quickly, a decision that would comply with both requirements.
His mother would not be pleased by this.
"Excuse me, sir, but I don't think you can show them dancing...without a partner? Wouldn't you like to choose one lady from that lovely crowd first?"

“May.” May giggled “And it’s our pleasure, right Sommer? Starting commotion is always fun.” May watched as Crystal twirled before reaching out and grabbing Sommers hand, then giving a soft yank on both girls arms, wishing for them to twirl in so she could twirl them out.
Her eyes never left the male duo. Matter of fact, she found it down right hilarious that they had danced just to spite the female they were dancing with now. “I think they are just a tad bit jealous of us Sommer. We have their dear Crystal, what do you think?” She grinned.
She could already feel eyes on the five of them, and it only thrilled her more. Maybe this would break some of their stuffy airs. Who knows? They might break out into the electric slide by the end of the night with their help.

'Perfect chance,' Kyuubi thought to himself, sending Irene a grin that was all mischief.
"I think I'll choose... This lovely lady right here," he purred, grabbing Irene and twirling him to the center of the dance floor. This was too perfect. Let the stuffed-shirts think what they wanted. He was having fun.

Sommer was grinning from ear to ear. This was just way too much fun. From the corner of her eyes she noticed the guys now moving on the dance floor as well. Well wasn’t that amusing. She hadn’t quite expected that to happen, but hey, the more people were unconventional the more fun it would be.
She moved smoothly with May and Crystal, laughing softly. “Well if he is so jealous of us, maybe he should come and steal Crystal away? Though he might find himself in trouble. I don’t like surrendering my partners until the dance is done.”

This was...wrong. Too wrong to be described in words.
The other, more powerful man had grabbed him, caught him off guard and swung him like a little girl to the dance floor. Irene stumbled on his own footstep, disoriented and confused. His mind screamed disaster. This cannot be good.
As soon as he stabled his footing, the young man realized that he was now the other's supposedly "dance partner". He gawked, but immediately shut his mouth tight as to prevent himself from looking silly. He had to stop this. If this...nonsense went on he'd surely be the center of attention---in a bad way. So he forced himself to stop, and used all his might to flung his arm away from the other. Breathing heavily, he said, loudly and firmly, but still keeping the polite manner that he had trained himself the whole life for.
"Sir, I meant a female, and you see...I am obviously not one. I think this is...a mistake, sir. Please excuse me---"
He had to get away, or he hoped he would be able to.

"You say obviously, and yet when I first saw you I mistook you for a woman. Loosen up a little, have some fun," Kyuubi purred, leaning down to gaze at Irene through hooded eyes. Surely, this fine piece of man couldn't be such a stiffy? There was nothing wrong with dancing with another man to draw the eyes of a few ladies...

Crystal was laughing, delighted by the turn of events. Had she known she'd run into these fabulous women, she would have come much sooner. She didn't care about the stares or the whispers behind gloved hands; a ball was about dancing and enjoying one's self, although probably not with the lack of proper social acknowledgement as the three women were. The woman couldn't have cared less, enjoying the elation of being against the social norm.
During their dancing, she caught sight of a very unhappy Irene being thrust onto the dance floor. Her grin diminished slightly, almost into a pout. She didn't want him to hate her, and if he was being coerced into what she thought he was... Crystal cursed inwardly in every language she knew, and in some she made up on the spot. She bit her lip, looking between the women that she was enjoying her time with and the man that she had merely wanted to tease. He was too high-bred to be comfortable with what the other man wanted to do.
