You can dance!

[ayasofia.livejournal.com]

Sofia entered one of the Sensoriums and called up a large ball room, the kind she would dream of dancing in as a child. High ceilings, large windows that let the sun stream through, paneled wooden tiles for the floor. All that she needed was-

Music, of course!

She asked for, and was given, a DJ and stereo system, stocked with all the music Stacy had available.

And, to top it all off, the last transformation was of Sofia's plantsuit. It morphed into a bright red dress that clung to her body, showing off her curves.

Now the fun could begin.

"Because he trusted you and knew you were a good man." She smiled. "A good man who looks good in a suit."

"Well, now you just tryin to flirt with ole Gambit," Remy replied, his uncertainty and deprecation disappearing behind a smile and confident facade. "How old is you anyway, petite? Seventeen?"

"Eighteen, actually. And I was only speaking the truth." Well, maybe a little flirting.

"Dat right?" he said, taking a step closer and cocking his head to the side curiously. Was he wearing cologne or was that just Stacy?

So, she was about seven years younger and, apparently, a future student of his. She was also cute. And it was just a dance, right? Nothin wrong with asking a pretty girl to dance...

"So, you like to dance, petite?" he asked.

"Dance- I'm not sure-" Well, at the school dance Josh had danced with Ms. Aquila, hadn't he? Never mind that Laurie had not reacted well to that. "Yes. Why not?"

"Merci," he replied, offering her his hand to escort her out to the dance floor.

"De nada." Sofia took hold of Gambit's hand and let him lead. Her heart started pounding.

Gambit walked her out on to the dance floor, pausing in the middle. With a wink to the DJ, music filled the air as the song 'Asi se baila el tango' began to play. "You know how to tango, cher?" he asked.

A tango? With Professor Lebeau? Was she crazy?

And, more importantly, was Rogue here? No? Well...

"Yes, I do." She couldn't entirely keep a smirk off her face.

"Good," Gambit said with a smile. He circled Sofia, moving with the beat of the music, doing a complete three-sixty before wrapping his arm around her waist and pulling her against him with one swift abrupt motion. There was a reason why the tango (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DEwZIufmafo) had been banned in several countries when it was first introduced and it seemed that Remy and Sofia were about to show everyone.

It had been some time since Sofia was allowed to express herself through dance, and she was not going to waste this chance. The tango was a dance of passion and Sofia? Sofia was nothing if not passionate.

The pair moved about the dance floor in a sultry mix of sudden and slow motions. Sending his partner into a spin, Remy pulled Sofia back against him just as the music came to a halt. He looked down at her, his face mere inches from hers, grinning. "Not bad, cher," he complimented.

"You're a very good dancer yourself." Sofia matched Gambit's grin. "It has been a pleasure."

[cardsharkgambit.livejournal.com]

"Non, de pleasure is all Gambit's," he replied. He then released her but, before he headed out of the sensorium, he took her hand in his and placed a gentle kiss on her fingers. "Au revoir."

Sofia's heart pounded and she managed a very faint wave.

She would have to do that again.
