Hammy Ham's P.O.V.
Everyone else had left the house to go get decorations for the Christmas tree, so it was only John and I left in the house. We didn't know what to do, though. I suggested we put up the tree, but I'm too short, and we need multiple people since the Schuyler tree is so big. So, for now, we just sat on the couch and waited.
Just then, I noticed a radio on the table next to me. I know a good radio station! So, I reached over to it, turned it on, and went to the right station. The song that was on was called Charade, by Matt Monro. I looked towards John and hoped he would get the hint. I wanted to dance!
I don't think he noticed the music, so I sighed dramatically and fell onto his lap. "Oh, John. It's a shame I don't have anyone to dance with to this lovely music!" I said sadly to him. He laughed and pushed me onto the floor.
"Lexi, I don't know how to dance." He told me. I fake pouted and got off of the floor, then hopped onto his lap again. "Pleeease?" I asked. "I can teach you!" I really hope he agrees...
"Fine." He answered, and then he got up. I toppled back onto the ground, but I quickly got up.
A.N. - I don't know how to waltz, and the videos are confusing, so I'll just use what I learned from my swing dance unit in PE :(
I grabbed both of his hands. "First, you step to one side.." I stepped a bit to my right, taking him with me, "..and then you step to the other." I stepped a bit to my left, and he followed along. I continued, "Then, you lift your left foot up, and step back a bit with your right." We did that. "Now, bring your right foot back forward again, and put your left foot on the floor again." This was hard to explain, but we were managing. I decided to be the woman in this dance, because I wanted to spin!
"Now we're going to learn a spin." I told John. He nodded his head and smiled. "So, you just have to lift my arm up high..." I lifted my arm, him still holding onto my hand. "...and then spin me. It's pretty easy." He spun me around perfectly after I said that. John laughed. "This is fun so far!" He said. I agreed.
"This next one is a bit like the spin I just told you." I began. "You're going to spin me, but you need to stop in the middle of doing it and step under my arm." He looked kind of confused. So, he spun me, and in the middle he let go of my raised hand and stepped under my arm. I facepalmed in my mind.
"No, John." I giggled like a little kid. "You're supposed to still hold my hand while you're going under my arm!" He looked embarrassed. "Sorry, Alex..." He muttered, tearing up. Why is he so sad all of a sudden?
I pulled him in for a hug. "It's okay, John! Everyone makes mistakes." He hugged me back and rested his chin on my head. "I know." He replied. "I just feel kind of... sad? I don't know." He laughed, and I could tell he was dismissing it as being nothing.
"Okay... tell me if you need anything." I said to him with a worried expression on my face. I hope he's alright!
"I'm fine." He reassured me, and then he let go of me and stepped back. "Let's continue dancing!"
I smiled. Nothing could ruin this moment.
And then Eliza stepped into the room, alone, with an evil look on her face.
