As I got closer to the entrance, I noticed the two teachers conducting their jobs with their personal commentary. One boy entered the building, before which, Ms. Dang told him to have a good time.170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqCKVvayLNZ
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNfdZ5vUCqK
"Have a good time."170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7h59ucVNxq
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOIZOFKYNgA
Then, Ashly went in ahead of me. She was only wearing a pumpkin theme t-shirt instead of a costume, but was complimented for it anyway. "Have a good time, and nice costume."170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ2UM9kLzn2
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjJ0yFBgWGQ
Eventually, it was my turn. The only reason they were out here was to make sure anyone who entered wasn't wearing anything too revealing according to their own policies. But when Ms. Dang got a good look at me, I could see the color drain from her face while her brain struggled to keep up.170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdtRf5ivEDQ
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtNQtOjn2Lf
"Ha— Have a good time?"170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBdliWqTZu2
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyxaLc2uGeI
Ms. Quaker stood beside her as well, though she was more shocked than her chaperone partner, since she's never seen my feminine side for one single moment. She quickly exchanged worrisome glances between me and Ms. Dang, though Ms. Dang didn't object to my interesting choice of attire. If I weren't so worried myself about their ability to ban me from using their massive dancing room, I would have been laughing too hard myself. Instead, I waited until I was inside to let it out naturally.170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnYfwQ2hxZF
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX3OsnSK7ZW
I still didn't know entirely what to expect from this, but my good mood made it easy for me to mentally adapt to the situation. The presentation room, dance room, or whatever the staff wanted to call this place invited all of us in. The place was quite roomy, and all the chairs were folded neatly against the walls to give us more space. This is what the room looked like, before the assets were added.170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL1m8gVmJDB

I've been in here before for other reasons, so this is the mental image I had for now. For the preparation of the dance however, they shuttered the blinds and redecorated the room, after adding two massive speakers in the front pedestal, while hanging a disco ball from the center top of the room. The available light in here was easily enough for me to work with, but between the warm-up music and the spinning lights, I was instantly mesmerized and tempted to stay here for fun if it were to be for eternity!170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdJAIqsdV81
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpoW3cE4IoH
Some part of me still resisted the dance beats at first, likely due to the fact that the current music playing was still just warm-up, on top of the dozens of students not engaged in dancing either; they too were waiting. I think everybody was simply trying to sink in, letting the moment draw closer when the actual party starts.170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1qnv9lj3Pb
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjADediTij5
In order to pass the time a bit, I took Ashly's advice and started greeting many of the other boys and girls coming in, complimenting their costumes as they were amazed by my own. Some of them didn't even realize I was a boy until they heard my physical voice, since it was too weak and low to imitate a female. Lumina just waited in the background, laughing quietly to herself the entire time.170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmc1agJPS4a
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeZemCPcw4L
It didn't take long for Ashly to come on by, after seeing Zero and the others giving me thumbs up with wide grins. "There's no way! You're all trying to make me look dumb!" One of Ashly's friends, accompanied by Ashly and two other strangers couldn't take her eyes off me, trying to settle some kind of bet.170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbAyQq8oU9a
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVwunMPA4nL
"You're about to owe me ten. Reed, was it? Are you really a boy dressed as a girl? Blame her if we're wrong." She clearly didn't want to insinuate anything that wasn't true, in fear of being rude, but the girl was pointing at Ashly, breathing light into this sudden situation.170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuIIJUGgRJq
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1FoEtyWFUq
I knew what was going on quick enough, and let a smile cross me as I replied, "Some of you wish I was a girl. I'm totally male though." As I answered, I saw the funniest expression of shock in her face. I and Ashly couldn't hold back our laughter anymore, and I heard Lumina joining in as well. 170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMLKPoLiwTS
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKPnPWN1vmC
"No! That's not right!" She wasn't angry, just confused and flabbergasted that she made a bet on my gender only to get it wrong. Her denial only made it funnier for the rest of us.170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkV56nXINxY
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoZyqa5Ijx4
I kind of felt like it was a compliment. For whatever reason, the flattery meant more to me when I was being called cute or pretty rather than charming and handsome. Lumina was simply having the time of her life, judging and observing countless expected appropriations shatter into pieces like it did a second ago for this stranger, who was blushing while panicking. Students don't really know how to react when they see a cross-dresser, and I don't blame them, since it's so rare.170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHEiJw8XDvl
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkvLu7N1j8H
If my parents knew what I was up to, they'd burn me alive in motor oil so to speak. Out here, I don't have to worry about it. The reminder allowed me to feel the moments of our heightened mood, as I gradually eased my way into some easy dance moves, just enough to bob or sway to the groove. I wasn't ready to let it all out just yet.170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDx07hFKHLf
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxmVjGY9ua3
"Look at that! How can he walk in heels better than me in just one day?!"170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs5pxhTnJOA
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm3SnVmQ3ml
"Forget walking! That man is dancing in those shoes!"170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGVogi9w2Ex
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSjcYKBOxhL
I laughed once more, flashing the most beautiful smile of happiness on my face. My excitement finally stuck with me, making me prance stronger with more confidence. I could hear their cheers from a slight distance, and I took their words as a compliment as well. I didn't realize that moving in high heels was supposed to be such a tough challenge for everybody else. I only struggled for the first few minutes until realizing the trick to putting my balance deeper into my toes for frontal feet. Ever since I stepped foot in here, I haven't had a single close call tripping or falling down in these shoes; I guess I adapted to them rather quickly, making a few people jealous.170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkyfrllO3XW
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4tX6rRVZvD
After a few minutes, before the music's main change, I was due for a good drink of water. I had to remind myself to stay hydrated enough, so that the connection can remain strong, and also so that I don't dehydrate to the point of passing out. I was going to need plenty of energy for what would come next.170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKwCtqErsRL
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhRamTrxskd
Interestingly enough, while I took my very short break at the drink table, I had approached it from the other side, with Zero and Mikaela facing away from me. As I turned around taking my time with the water consumption, I started to overhear their conversation, which was about me. With my own back turned, they wouldn't immediately realize I was standing right behind them, though I didn't let on that I could hear them talking either, too curious of what they had to say.170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgYmIuqUqQX
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRlVTdzXrk3
"And you say he's your friend?"170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡen0nCzI9oc
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ5EvWtQPgL
"Well... He's kind of unique." Zero wasn't sure how to rate me with Mikaela's question, and she sounded slightly awkward.170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwjkkzlKxka
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc7aZw5VVnk
"That's selling it a bit short." Mikaela only mentioned as much since I was more unique than ever in tonight's attire.170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpn6W3IiGsb
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEajS5ypcce
"I wouldn't say he's a complete friend in any way. I mean, we could be, but we don't know each other or hang out that well. He's not that way with Banarus, Laura, or Ashly either... I guess he doesn't really have a lot of friends now that I think about it. We're all more like acquaintances."170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtenVT0JngT
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2C8itBEic4
Sad as I am to hear what I already knew, I'm amazed Zero realizes the same thing I did a while ago.170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ0zjqfGQmP
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2NATMHvdYe
"Oh... Well, at least he's having a lot of fun, wherever he is."170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtUr6I33ZUQ
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbnddsVPx4x
"Yeah... I wonder where this Lumina girl is though."170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiYdpA7v5DM
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡekzQqNVVpm
Should I worry? No, Zero knows as much as everyone else. They're just talking.170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMSsWK2mNVn
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgk0RB0d3Bp
"They'll find out you're lingering if you stay too long."170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXVJ2pXxUz3
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsKzaswmI7R
I had to ignore Lumian's warning, since I didn't care if the two of them found out I was eavesdropping. After all, they're talking about us, so that makes it our business.170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ61ApY45sOV
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdYw2PdyB40
"Who?"170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvyRkUgZLXO
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRICjCLgvac
"He said something about coming here with his girlfriend."170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS307VMvpgL
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjX9GLv2yW2
"Ah, so he really isn't gay?" Coming to that conclusion confidently, Mikaela's lighthearted joke got Zero chuckling briefly.170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAoQ0dRmxut
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGinmk2TGif
"No. But I don't know any other guy like him, do you? That's why I want to meet this Lumina, so I could ask her if she's into feminine men."170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYFmmwi1zn0
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjvJZIyYSjn
"What's her full name?"170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY78eZ0bYmb
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuEN2MS5NJl
"He never let that slip," Zero detailed with minor defeat. "It's just Lumina, and apparently, she isn't from our school. Despite that, he supposedly snuck her in here, and I would like to know who it is."170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCF4uLVzffg
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg1P1l3sq3j
"That sounds too crazy to be true. Maybe it's just a joke and he's messing with you."170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxlLb5PmQhH
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrgd6as2DR0
Zero was about to ask why I would do something like that, but before she could, her phone vibrated in her pocket, distracting her from the statement. I decided to take that moment and walk away safely. I managed not to get caught hearing their conversation, but the topic reminded me about some of the concerns I had before coming here. I was lucky to have Lumina to keep my mood in check.170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvhLirrN7e0
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiAtnFVu2BI
"It's okay Reed. They're never going to discover that secret."170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkZSaL579VP
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg6aDIIga5q
I wanted to tell Lumina that on some level, this fact is what bothered me the most. I was split between the desire to tell them all I knew about Lumina, and the devastating damage it would do when they react in exactly the way I expect them to. They would never believe me, and as a result, would ostracize me from their group of acquaintances forever. I want to have more friends, but if I reveal the truth to them, I'll never be able to keep them as friends. At the same time, if I don't reveal the truth to them, how could I ever be real enough to be a true friend to them?170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRXfSboisY9
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQi8Yp8mMBz
I didn't tell Lumina anything though. It was easier for me to push the thoughts to the back, and refresh myself with the thought of dancing the night away. When the new, faster, more upbeat song came on, I couldn't resist trying to groove harder. At the same time, most of everyone in the room gathered all around and in front of me to dance as well, all of us trying to perform some collective moves associated with this beat.170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYJRWSntME9
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2vhnv2REqc
As the music got faster, so did our bodies synchronize to the dancing. Before long, even Zero and Mikaela were rocking on the dance floor with us. It took only seconds for my mind and body to start getting lost in the fast-pace dancing, providing myself and Lumina with an incredible demonstration of fun. I for one never realized how much fun I could have dancing, despite knowing I wasn't too skilled at it yet. While my thoughts synchronized with the music, my body started moving on its own, and I let out movements and hidden dance skills I never thought I had. Since I was totally dressed up as a girl, I tried to move like one too, jumping up and down on alternating legs with wide heel lifts and the shifting boogie of my arms switching up and down. For the first time in my life, I started laughing purely out of enjoyment, as the cycle continued to run deeper.170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5gA3BZ2Ut8
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWZYHYh3Qot
The music from "Heaven" by DJ Sammy blasted through the magical building, truly delivering people to a heavenly state. As much fun as I was having, other students quickly got into a similar spirit after all their previous mundane concerns were melted away by my fashionable brilliance! Actually, they were just laughing at me, but it lifted the energy of everyone inside. In some complicated manner, my appearance and stunts put a majority of the classes in stellar moods, independent of my own happiness.170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwxb71XBXRx
Because of this, my visual excitement was shared among many others, as some of the girls got closer to me while dancing to congratulate me or encourage me to move with more energy than I was doing. I realized soon enough that there was only one person missing from the fun. "Come on Lumina! Shake that tush and bedazzle your sisters!"170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ndTkenJYn
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAKJcXQkiPH
"I'm good. I'm enjoying just watching this moment."170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBcUApgnga8
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP53Vm0xtFT
"Move with me Lumina! Come on! Left, right, left right! Spin! Move!" I did my best to encourage her in the background as I continued to dominate my own space. I wanted Lumina to dance with me, to match my energy, to give into this insatiable desire to move to the music.170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUSxpxWuhL6
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjWO48hy11i
"I don't know how!"170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQLTSxJKmlM
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCjsKyDmMvM
"Neither do I, but look at me go!" I did have some reference on how to dance from some movies and scenes, but overall, I was making up whatever I could on the go. I knew that some of the laughter directed at me wasn't from the dress-up, bur from how cringy I must have looked dancing. Were this any other situation, this would have killed me from embarrassment, but I didn't care now. I was too excited to stop or give up, more so now as I knew I could convince Lumina to join me! "Dance!"170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8sKDZzxkM4
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEMVybqxuri
"No."170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz1SVl4FWKC
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3mvF2lwRfU
"I said dance!" There was still some delay, but my firm attitude on the matter got Lumina moving her body at last. It took her a few seconds to link her movements with mine. It also helped that my overwhelming excitement flooded into her from my side of telepathy, for she started enjoying herself in the same way I was in mere seconds.170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLdrh8RQsjp
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf5jSnBhRiH
As we continued dancing on and on, it became too easy to feel lost in the trance of our hearts and minds, so this dance continued for a couple of minutes more, matching the duration of the song...170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡouDoPJnZPb
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwmDEbzvxNK
Eventually, both of us had to break off for a short pause, since the music changed. The pace of the song remained, but the sensations in the music altered our flow for the beginning. This song wasn't as well known, so many of us struggled to find our own fitting grove, including myself. I did however stick some moves down, leaning longer on my transitions, while passively observing others to see if I could barrow some of their moves soon. Dutch Force made this beat, "Deadline".170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXxjIwUpbAz
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRCMgdcl9RU
After the group of us started catching up again, we threw in some transitionary stomps and claps to make ourselves proudly heard. I decided to lose myself in my own wonderful mind, twisting and switching left and right while I thought back on every memory I had ever made between myself and Lumina. All of the struggles I endured only made me stronger, and my body was somehow able to express this with my unofficial, yet certain dance moves.170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhtDXDsd4p5
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuYKmqzElm1
At the same time, thanks to the instrumental masterpiece of the song, the other half of my allocated thoughts focused on the speckled light coming off the disco ball as it illuminated all of us. I felt like I was being totally seen, totally vulnerable for the world to observe, as the electronic keys represented their own alternating stage lights into my essence.170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ1B7NUCeXa
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoIasexw0zn
For the length of this song, I lengthened and replicated this trance within me, just as I felt Lumina doing the same. She was stuck in her main room, dancing alongside me worry free of what Junko may see. I couldn't be more proud of her now; Lumina learned to let herself relax and party at the same time, just as I knew we both could. The worry free atmosphere of our moment allowed our fun to drag out forever. I didn't stop dancing for a single second, even though I had to invent some new (probably embarrassing) dance skills to keep up. If only I could control the sound now, I'd set this song on repeat for as long as I wanted to, so that my mind, body, and soul could dance to infinity.170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVpF7Fl8fV2
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3T5m6f4sTM
Instead, the great song that was - came to an end. It would be a few seconds before the next one would start. At last, some amount of personal exhaustion started to show in all of us. I was breathing heavier, sweating unfortunately from my arms into the outfit. I knew I would be fine with the deodorant I used on myself already. Despite my current exhaustion, I wasn't ready to give or up stop yet. Nothing would take this moment away from me.170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwYd2POPnHB
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLrLFjoPjqU
Then next, one of our favorite songs came up, Sax by Fleur East. I loved this song both because of how retro it sounded and how perfect the tempo was for maximum energy movements. As soon as this song started, I resumed where I left off, giving my yins and yangs more emphasis and juice than ever before. My instant liftoff only encouraged the others around me to give it their all in this moment too, though I wasn't sure who was copying who.170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkZSER0LLnv

With perfectly timed claps, stomps, and dips, the hundreds of us really got into the music, including Lumina. It's why I love this song so much; it's transparent enough to match its energy without effort. Before long, all of us started to synchronize together again, even though many of my moves were personal and independent. I was practically jumping left and right with hip sways and incredible twists of my heels. My arms and hands started waving like flags on their own, and my occasional spins would land perfectly despite the new shoes.170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaBYmsPpPig
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8pq5aWVZkU
I then got myself a bit lower, shaking my booty up, down, and every which way. Without stopping, I continued my new moves, despite realizing that several of the others behind me dropped out of the dance in a laughing fit from my daring performance boost. It's time to get all in on this action!170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYzITv2Ejnq

To any and all, power this song and turn up the beats! I can make some real magic with these tunes. At the half point of the song, I gestured some of the lyrics in body language at the same time, and finally got a small following really close around me. Our contagious energy became the light of the show, the beat of the bop, the cream of the crop!170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLQAPa9F9IC

As I lost myself evermore into the music, Lumina also broke free from her constraints, moving with the same energy and effort as the rest of us. Once we got this far into it, there was no stopping us at all, ever! In an all ascending surge of grand happiness, Lumina and I synchronized on an emotional and physical level without realizing it, causing our own sensations to amplify further.170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtQ8tsF48aQ
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHrP0fu9zbu
Without having to think, I let my body move like it never moved before, which was enough to attain instant applause without breaking the groove. Again and again, I maximized my new moves in ways my body would normally never handle. All exhaustion was ignored, all worries were imprisoned. I've never known until now, but there's nothing more fun than dancing! Meditate this moment, repeat and infinity...170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVH1L0XCyHF
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ38pFRghuHQ
Though I stuck the final landing, the song was over before I knew it, which brought me back to reality. All of the fatigue I built up hit me abruptly, but I didn't want to stop. I wasn't too thrilled that the song was over already. The next song that came on was a bit slower, probably as a soft cool down. It was then I realized, I would have danced until I dropped if the song did not end when it did.170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC9AemDQcMV

"Told ya so." I feigned part of my confidence to her, since I also wasn't expecting that much from myself. Tried as I was, I knew I could spare ten times more for the rest of the night. I'd break a sweat, but I'd have fun doing it. I can't believe dancing was this much fun! I'll have to look into it more often.170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlm1pknyR4q

I didn't notice until after she did, but my eyes confirmed that more than half the people in the room were curiously studying me, even though I was leaving the dance floor for another drink of water and a small break. Was my dancing really that off key? They can't still be interested in the dress thing; I mean, that's already old news by now.

I nodded with the biggest blushing smile. I was proud of myself for proving capable of throwing Lumina into party mode, especially considering I've never once been to a party in all my life. I was already having the time of my life just on my side. Knowing Lumina was now enjoy this as much as me doubled my sensational intensity, since the satisfaction of her happiness encouraged me much more.170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjo5DvPwQE3
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc9ssnrFNNh
As various more songs cycled through, Lumina and I matched our moves again, and we danced on and on for hours. It was too easy and fun getting lost in the party. Despite how bad I was at exercising due to the asthma, I didn't let it bother me for this wonderful moment. So, I wasn't letting up an inch even after many hours passed. The cold chill outdoors stayed outdoors, out of sight and mind while the connection continued to get stronger than average.170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ2xUVBUvbL

I just don't know how else to explain or express how happy I was by now. I've never been this excited before, nor has my mood ever been this heightened. It's the type of feeling that can change a person, seeing a side for themself they would never dare leave behind again. I vowed to myself that I would take up dancing for fun after tonight; I would – could in a dress, I will – shall bring the finesse!170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDsaLhkROY3

Long after I thought this moment would never end, the DJ abruptly shut off the music, bringing silence into the building, among some confusion. It didn't take long to realize what this was about, but I was still too much in denial to wonder why the hell they would shut off the music.170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7imzvleHDp

There to announce what was going on, Ms. Dang stood next to the DJ where the single microphone was, activating it with her hands on her hips. "Alright everyone. That's it for tonight. It's getting late, so it's time to head back to the cabins."170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ41gcJOBVhl

"Wow! It's already eleven-thirty!" I blurted the obvious out after letting my eyes read the wall clock mounted aside.170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUiltE5FK7A

I turned around, seeing Banarus address my surprise for how much time passed. I was slightly delayed by the amazing perception that time just flew by because of the unspeakable fun I've had. I also had to account for a change in the atmosphere around me that I only now noticed. It didn't affect every single person in the room, but many were dragging their legs behind them as they walked, while others had slight bags under their eyes. Even Banarus couldn't totally hide her personal exhaustion. "I had fun dancing." I corrected her for both our sakes. I walked into here thinking I was going to have so much fun because of the cross-dressing, but I couldn't have been more wrong. I just wanted to have fun and make everybody happy, no matter what it took. Judging by Lumina's overpowering mood melting into my own, I'd say I accomplished that goal.170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7z59coO9ev

"I'm more surprised you never lost your balance in those high heels. Kind of suspicious."170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvVbpgurY82

"Eh, beginners luck." I had to gloat a little to her. Banarus might be jealous that I rocked these high heels, but she should be more jealous of how awesome tonight was for us. I mean, wow!170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9jEH1Dqvm9

"The night's not over yet." It may be eleven-thirty, but I'm doing quite well for myself on energy. I really could have danced forever back there. Even though most of the others are all partied out, I'm still wide awake, perhaps more awake than ever before.170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyHIMgPJ7JF

More to that, our shared emotions made so intimate tethered Lumina and I closer together. Sharing our personal happiness and excitement together like this was proof to us both how much fun we could have with each other, together. For some reason, this made our feelings worth more to each other and to ourselves, plus the reminder of how real this was compared to anything else. It also made the connection stronger, for whatever reason. Even though I had to start walking through the exit with the others, my feelings and energy stood an invincible vice against the lingering threat of the night's approaching end.170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxyDIKalG4V

In my own drunken walk, Zero and Mikaela stopped me before I went too far. "You do realize that you can't actually come back with us to the girl's cabin, right?"170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdcdRlpn1Vq
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡien2yrmcGb
"Huh? No, of course I knew that." As much as I meant what I said, I didn't realize that I started walking a little too close to the connecting bridge leading to the girl's side of the field. My body was simply following them while my mind was so far above this world. "But..." Now that she brought it up, I do have to address one more detail to Zero. "When exactly do you want this dress back? I can give it back to you Monday after washing it if it's easier." Note to self: wash dress without parents seeing it.170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhx2OIIa3KD

170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0pA77tNkuw
"No Lumina. I mean, I did zone out and follow them for a bit. Look, I don't really have any other friends. It won't happen again."170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtTslVbBmWf

"Yeah..." I took my leave of them, though it felt awkward since I struggled to keep my mind out of the most enjoyable moment I was having earlier.170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3reloLJrxa

"Regarding you, silly." Dancing wasn't the only thing on my mind. Lumina is everywhere I think or look, a peak of romance deep inside, finally unleashed for this ultimate moment. They're sending us all back to our cabins on order to sleep, but I know I'm not going to be able to sleep yet. Tonight isn't over until I say so.170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGAJdg9fdrW

"Awh! I love thinking about you too." Lumina wasn't just saying that to fill words. That fuzzy romantic feeling emanating throughout my body fluctuated up and down quickly and constantly; I could tell this sensation was being traded and swapping around too, so I knew she felt the same way about me as I did for her in the same moment.170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnrn6rhYHHj
170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfUzMOkkejB
Knowing this - brings about something greater, a special certainty, an immersion too real to ignore. Lumina and I love each other. That truth has stronger value now that I'm sure, stronger intensity when our most intimate feelings are beamed between the connection of telepathy, and it's the most overpowering, intoxicating feeling I've ever experienced.
