4. A ball under Moonlight

A/N: You can listen to the music for the dance scene.

~Athanasia POV~

Dominique led us through the streets to a large carriage. And when I say big, I mean the size of an small apartment. Before we got in, Dominique turned to me. ,,You can borrow one of my dresses for the ball.'' ,,Um... Thank you very much," I said, surprised. Only when she and Noé disappeared into the room did I realize my problem.... I didn't know what to pick. Lost in thought I looked at the dresses hanging here, but if I was honest I didn't even know what dresses looked good on me. 

,,What's taking you so long?" Vanitas suddenly asked me and I flinched. ,,Well... I have to choose a dress and I don't have much experience with that," I confessed and turned to him. ,,So you never wore dresses at home?'' ,,Well, only when I really had to. Otherwise I was always at home. Parties are not really my cup of tea, I prefer to be at home where I am by myself,'' I answered. Even if it was sometimes lonely... ,,So you don't have any friends?'' I froze, at this question. Fortunately I didn't have to answer because the door opened. ,,Did you choose a dress?" Dominique asked. ,,Ehehe... I might have a little trouble finding something suitable for me," I answered nervously. ,,Come on, I'll help you. You two grab something to wear and go ahead,'' said Dominique and pulled me into the room. 

Unsure and yet overwhelmed, I glanced down at myself. Dominique had also made my makeup in addition to the dress. ,,Are you sure I can wear this dress? It kinda looks to good for me." I asked unsure. ,,Oh nonsense, you look great.''  ,,Thank you so much for lending it to me.'' ,,Don't mention it," she smiled as we arrived. Noé and Vanitas were already waiting in the entrance hall. When the two of them noticed us I got nervous, I hoped my appearance was suitable for a ball. The two said nothing and I became more nervous. ,,Stop piercing her with your eyes,'' said Dominique. Uncertainly, I ran my fingers through my hair and smiled. ,,Does the dress suit me?" I asked. 

,,Yeah, you look good," said Noé. Vanitas remained silent, which surprised me. After all, he always had a comment to make. ,,Here, your mask.'' Dominique gave me a mask to wear, as well as Noé. Only now did I notice that Vanitas was wearing an eye patch.
