Author's Note:

Hello, my dears! IT'S TIME!

A couple of quick notes before we get rolling. Due to the pure amount of ~stuff~ that happens in these next TWO chapters that you're getting TODAY (yes, I'm tooting my own horn lol), there will be frequent POV changes between multiple characters. Please pay close attention to this, as I won't give as much warning as I have in previous chapters that the POV is changing.

Since this is The Flower Dance, I wanted to include some music. For some reason, while picturing these scenes, I always imagined Dream a Little Dream of Me being the song that plays when everything happens. I prefer the Mama Cass version. I thought that some of the lyrics fit really well with what happens during the dance. I typed some of the lyrics that are supposed to tie in with the events as they happen. Here is the link to the song, if you care enough to give it a listen! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P4T3tMkjRig

Lastly, I picked a specific dress for the dance. If you aren't a fan of my decision, please feel free to skip the paragraph where I describe it, and fill it in with details from your own choice of attire. I'll attach a picture of the dress I selected as well! 😀

Okay, I think that's everything for now! Please enjoy, I worked really hard on this! I've been dreaming of this for almost a year, so let me know what you think! ❤️

I'm going to ask Sebastian to dance with me.

If the way he looked at you while you played Solarion Chronicles wasn't confirmation enough, the way he held you close and caressed your waist as you stood together in the rain was plenty.

It's still there, and it's still mutual. We still have feelings for each other. This time next week... I'm going to be wearing a beautiful dress, and maybe even a little makeup, and I'm going to be in his arms... This might be my last chance to try to make him mine.

Except, there's one problem.

I don't have any dresses.

Fortunately for you, you know exactly who to call.

***

You arrive at Emily's doorstep, and just before you reach out to knock, you hear a familiar voice coming from around the side of her house.

"Cut!"

You walk towards the sound to find Shane, Emily, and Clint working on Shane's entry for the Joja advertisement competition.

"I-I...I'm sorry!" Clint sputters, practically squirming inside of his own skin. "It's hard to remember my lines when her face is right in front of me like that..."
