The Fool

Dancing

After arriving at the pub, Mylene goes for the stand to leave her jacket, Aidan does so as well. Then he loses sight of Mylene in the big crowd as she is unbelievable fast where Aidan is kinda big and clumsy. But he knows that Mylene can fend for herself, and she isn´t alone since there are a lot of her friends here at the pub, along with Aidan´s friends so he is quite sure she´ll be alright.

Walking around the pub he can see Billy and Steve dancing, he goes to mix in with them and after a little struggle getting to them, they are dancing in the middle of the floor, completing hard dance steps with ease, all in synch to the music.

Aidan on the other hand isn´t such a fluent dancer, he can move to the rythm as he has nice feel for it. Using easy steps Aidan is able to compete with Billy and Steve on the dancefloor, as they always tend to do a little competing, just for fun, no loser and no winner, just for the fun of dancing and getting a little excercise.

The next song is a slow one, Aidan don´t know why they play a slow song in the middle of the night since it´s usually the last song that is this slow. Looking around he can see Mylene sitting down at the edge of the dancing part of the pub. Without even thinking he walks towards her, bends down a little bit and offer her his hand as the soft lyrics are sang in the background

“Alone for a while I’ve been searching through the dark
For traces of the love you left inside my lonely heart
To weave by picking up the pieces that remain
Melodies of life–love’s lost refrain”

“May I have this dance sweet maiden?”
Aidan isn´t sure, but he can see Mylene turning her face away a little bit, as to cover a blush
“You may, my knight”

“Our paths they did cross, though I cannot say just why
We met, we laughed, we held on fast, and then we said goodbye
And who’ll hear the echoes of stories never told?
Let them ring out loud till they unfold
In my dearest memories, I see you reaching out to me
Though you’re gone, I still believe that you can call out my name”

Taking his offer she stands up and they go in a little bit on the platform, there Aidan places his hands on her waist and she places her arms around his neck, grabbing Aidan close to her. Aidan then leads her on in the slow steps that the dance requires and they get so close to eachother that Aidan can feel her leg rising upwards to his tight, making him blush in return. Mylene has her head on Aidan´s chest and Aidan places his chin on Mylene´s head, smelling the shampoo she used for tonight.

“A voice from the past, joining yours and mine
Adding up the layers of harmony
And so it goes, on and on
Melodies of life,
To the sky beyond the flying birds–forever and beyond

Taking slow steps as they continue to dance as close to eachother as they can. People around them are starring at them and whispering, Aidan doesn´t care, and Mylene doesn´t seem to care either. Aidan just wants to keep on dancing like this, not for eternity, but for a very long time. He thinks back on how he meet Mylene, how they spent time together, having fights and every thing they did together, but tonight they are friends and Aidan hopes Mylene will have the same feelings for him as he has for her at the end of the night.

So far and away, see the bird as it flies by
Gliding through the shadows of the clouds up in the sky
I’ve laid my memories and dreams upon those wings
Leave them now and see what tomorrow brings

In your dearest memories, do you remember loving me?
Was it fate that brought us close and now leaves me behind?

After about five minutes the song fades away. Aidan can feel Mylene releasing him and he releases her as well. Mylene takes one of her hands and places it on Aidan´s chin and gives him a mysterious smile, then she turns around and leaves him standing while her friends cheer her on.
