A wide grin was stretched across her face as she rocked her body side to side, hoping from one button to the other as the music played it's merry tune. She could occasionally glimpse the guy beside her on the other pad depending on how she turned her body but for the most part her eyes were stuck on the arrows moving across the screen since she was determined to not loose as well as to get a personal best with the steps she was taking.
