The next day, in the Crestfallen Ballroom...
(4 days to Grand Party...)
Two girls were on the ballroom floor. One was a clumsy yet brilliant, small-time glasses-wearing shopkeeper. And another was a letter writer from Leidenschaftlich.
"And when your partner, leads you this way, you follow. Capiche?" Eva asked if it was clear to her.
"So, when he leads me like this?"
Violet tried to demonstrate her rough idea of the part that confused her.
Violet yanked Eva violently to the side with her remaining left hand.
"WOAAAAHHH!!!!"
Eva nearly slipped from Violet's strong pull, but somehow regained her balance.
"Jeez, Violet! Are you trying to pull out my arm?!?!" scolded Eva.
"Sorry! I didn't mean to!" she immediately apologized to the dismayed shopkeeper.
From the side of the Ballroom...
"Hey, Miss Evergarden? When can you guys assist me?" called a male voice.
"Just after...OUCH!!!! Eva! Please, watch my feet!"
"Woopsie! My bad, Vio...OWWWWW! What the hell?!?!" Eva cursed loudly as she recoiled from Violet accidently punching her in the face. "How the hell did you even punch me?!?! There's no big hand movements in this dance!!!!!"
"Your face is so punchable? I guess?" Violet joked.
"Why you little...!!!!"
"Ladies, please don't fight! Now, Miss Evergarden, what do you think I should say after 'ladies and gentlemen'?" asked Prince Shane by the window as he watched the two dance horribly.
Prince Shane was writing up his speech under Violet and Eva's guidance. He was sitting on the floor where he was writing up his speech.
"Well, I'm impartial to you. So, I guess you should just write...oh...I don't know. Maybe, the rest of your speech?" Violet replied sarcastically as she twirled messily with Eva's hand guiding her.
"Did you just do a joke?" wondered Eva.
"Nooooo..." was the sly response of the Doll.
With that, Violet followed Eva's lead as she did a quick step back and forth. Following the music, Eva slid her boot across the wooden ball floor. Violet followed suit letting her heels slide against the polished floor.
Violet was working up a sweat. She threw her blue jacket to Prince Shane who caught it in his hands and folded it neatly next to him.
Now the Violet flower had turned into a beautiful and delicate white lily.
