Things were swinging at the Dictator's Ball. The lush palace was filled to the brim with the highest of the high. Every major Dictator and Dictator-wanna-be was attending. Relena was bored out of her mind.
Millardo had promised her if she wasn't having fun after an hour of the party, he would have Pargan take her home. It had been forty-five minutes and Relena was about ready to slip outside when she spotted her. Dorothy. Coming this way. With those eyebrows.
Quickly, the former Queen of the world looked around for some sort of escape. Her hopeful eyes rested to where her brother was chatting comfortably with Treize Kushrenada. Aha!
Relieved, she gathered up her skirts and rushed over. "Excuse me, brother. But I want nothing more than to dance with your friend."
Millardo's eyes widened but before he could protest, Relena had dragged Treize towards the center of the ballroom. Treize looked down at the young woman in his arms in amazement. He didn't even think that Relena liked him. After a few around the room, the nobleman decided to speak up.
"Pardon me, Vice-Minister. As much as I would enjoy a dance with you, I believe it would be preferable to wait till the music starts."
Relena pierced him with her cornflower blue eyes. "Treize?"
"Yes, Relena?"
"Shut up and Dance."
