Party?

Dutch calmed me down when he told me I was just in the infirmary because I passed out. I then realized I was wearing only hospital robes and became very embarrassed. But, in the end, everything turned out fine and I found myself changing back into my sundress in my room.

There was nothing to do but sit there and daydream after that. Asagi hadn't ever shown up, so I assumed she had better things to do than go on a cruise. It was bittersweet. I could've made a new friend, but it ended up being just me staying in the room. Kyuubi said that we would arrive in Hawaii as soon as tomorrow, so I supposed I should get some rest before the ship anchored in the island's harbor. I turned off the light in my room, not even bothering to change out of my clothes.

No sooner than my head hit the pillow, I heard the loud thumping and rhythm of dance music on the floor above. Groaning, I pulled the pillow over my head, but it was no use. The beat continued to get louder, and eventually it attracted me out of my bed. I followed the noise to a dance floor on the level above. Several other bijuu were working it out on the floor, including Dutch. I found it kind of irritating that he seemed to just suddenly appear wherever I went, but I ignored him. I ignored everyone. The addicting beat had me under a spell. Without thinking of what I would look like to everyone else, I began to dance.

I was definitely not in ballerina mode. I allowed myself to be caught up in the flow of the music and just let whatever I had loose. I did not care about the passage of time; rather, I decided, for once, to let the thrill of the moment hold me in place. It was a wonderful feeling. I continued to dance, unaware of anything but myself. I halfway wondered if something else would happen tonight other than me losing sleep...

Someone please continue!
