4th floor common room, Sunday early evening

[minnesota-teen.livejournal.com]

Amber was feeling restless so she put on her tap shoes and headed down the hallway to the common room, ready to make some use out of it. Seeing no one around, she put on some music and began warming up by doing a few leg and arm stretches.

After that? She started tap dancing to her hearts content, loving every single minute of it.

"Amber is a great name; ma always told me so," though Amber suspected her carnie of a father had a hand in naming her. "Very nice to meet you too, Link. You're name is very unique. I like it. Oh my gosh, I've been dancin' since I was little, nothin' special... just a bit of tap is all though I did perform not to long ago in a talent portion of a beauty pageant."

"A beauty pageant, really?" Link winked. "I bet you won, too, didn't you?"

Amber's smile fell. "The pegeant was rigged."

"No!" Link gave a bit of a gasp, carefully calculated, and pouted artfully. "That's horrible! You would definitely have won if it hadn't been, though."

Link, Amber decided, was very cute. Pout and all. "Thank you for your confidence in me, Link. But you see, I became Princess when Becky Leeman, the winner, blew up when she parked her butt on that swan float in the parade. It was awful. We all smelled gasoline."

"Gasoline? It caught on fire? Amber, that's awful!"

[minnesota-teen.livejournal.com]

"It just didn't catch on fire, it blew up with her on it," she said easily, as though it wasn't nothing. "No one much liked Becky Leeman," she added to make it sound better. If that was at all possible.

"What do you do on your show, Link?"

[oncourtandstage.livejournal.com]

"... Oh." There wasn't much more to say to that.

"Oh, well, I dance, and I do some singing," Link explained. "It's nothing big." He grinned and gave her another wink.

[minnesota-teen.livejournal.com]

No, there really wasn't. It just wasn't pleasant.

"Tap dance?" she asked hopefully.

[oncourtandstage.livejournal.com]

"Nah, more social stuff -- ballroom, that kind of thing. Stuff to do with a partner." He grinned. "I do a mean cha cha, and I'm working on a new twist on the twist."

She raised her brows, grinning. "Oooo! Old songs!"

[oncourtandstage.livejournal.com]

"Not that old!" Link said, laughing a bit. "Or -- wait, someone told me last night that it's 2008? Really? Is that actually true?"

[minnesota-teen.livejournal.com]

Amber nodded though her mun is stuck in 2007 and is currently headdesking. "Yep, it's 2008 and I'm from 1999."

"Holy gee, that's just... wow!"

Yes, he said 'holy gee'. He's in his public character right now, shut up.

"I just can't quite believe that."

[minnesota-teen.livejournal.com]

"Neither could I but oh my gosh it's true," she replied, grinning over the 'Holy gee'. People just didn't talk like that anymore. But then Amber didn't hear many people saying 'oh my gosh' either.
