AFTER THE FIRST DANCE

The festivities proceeded as planned, the vows, the kiss, the first dance. But then, something unexpected happened.

"Now we will have the parent's dance," the MC began but stopped short when he noticed Jenny walking up to Alexander. Joffrey was left alone on the dance floor, hands tightened into fists by his side. "Ah, slight modification here. Maybe a family dance instead?"

If One Shot was surprised, he didn't show it. Instead, he bowed, took Jenny's hand and walked her out onto the dance floor like a complete gentleman. The floor that Joffrey was just leaving. Since they didn't have any parents left alive, One Shot had somehow expected to be the natural replacement, but he did not like the direction Joffrey was going.

He turned to Jenny who looked quite pleased with herself. "What did you do, Jenny?"

She just grinned from ear to ear as Joffrey came to a halt and gave a quick bow, reaching out one hand while holding the other clenched into a fist behind his back.

"May I request this dance?" Joffrey asked between his teeth.

Angel stared down at the offered hand before her. Well, this was unexpected.
