{The Masquerade Spring Soiree!} ~ANNOUNCEMENT ONE UP! ~

[sketchy::]

Gala Apple~

Gala stepped off of the grass and onto the sidelines, watching the partners dance carefully. She wished she could have someone to dance with, but she wasn't the best at interacting to others right now. She sighed and watched, smiling faintly.

[shuuu]

Drop Kick walked down the star, stepping onto the soft grass. Exhaling a little, she trotted forward, trying to find a good spot to watch. Standing next to the sidelines, she noticed a pony with a red and white mane near her. Giving a little bow to her, she watched everyone else.

[hojicha]

WildWind saw several of the ponies beginning to dance to honey like music. Most of the ponies were paired up but he noticed two mares (Gala and Drop Kick) sitting at the edge watching the others. WildWind approaches them, "Would either of you like to dance?" He asked sheepishly.

[shuuu]

Drop Kick turned to the Stallion, and then back to the mare. Hoping she wouldn't mind, she nodded to him. "I, uh- I would love too." Smiling a bit awkwardly, she step forward a bit.

[P o m]

Cobra limped over to the sidelines and watched, a dreamy smile on her face. She wondered if she'd be able to dance like that, or if anypony would even want to dance with her. Her single rear hoof landed in something wet, and she let out a little squeak as she turned to see a small puddle. Her reflection stared back at her and she sighed, looking at the bare skin on her right cheek. "Who would want to dance with me?" She murmured to herself sadly. She raised a front hoof to the two white scars set on her skin, eyes wandering to the tears in her ear. She shook her head and looked away. "No, not tonight. There'll be at least one pony who might want to dance with me." She told herself firmly. She leaned her weight on her forehooves and lifted her back leg, shaking the water off before practically falling back onto her three legs.

[hojicha]

WildWind held out a hoof and whisked Drop Kick away to the dance floor. They glided across it, and WindWind spun Drop Kick around. The movements seemed effortless and natural. I didn't know I could dance... He thought to himself, he decided to make some conversation, "Which part of equestria are you from?" He asked the mare as they continued dancing.

[reilly]

Prince Silver Soul saw a sad looking pony standing by herself. ((Cobra)) When he looked closer he could see that she was badly scarred, and it looked as though she were wishing a leg. Unless his keen ears were tricking him, she had said she wanted somepony to dance with.
The pale blue stallion walked over to her. His armor covered his entire face save for his eyes and his snout, so maybe she wouldn't recognize him. He didn't want to be recognized, though it was hard with the wings and horn of an alicorn.
"You look lonely," he said, approaching the mare. "Would you like to dance with me?"

[P o m]

Cobra looked over at the stallion, and her eye widened. An... An Alicorn? H-he wants to dance with... Me? She blushed, but quickly smiled and nodded. "Y-Yes, please..." She replied, stepping over to him with a shy blush on her face.

[shuuu]

"Actually, I came from the Paradise Empire.. It's a bit far away from here, but my friends insisted that I come. So they used a spell of transportation to get me here." She replied, chuckling a bit at the end. They continued to dance, making Drop Kick a bit surprise. She could never dance this well at home.. "And where are you from?"

[reilly]

Silver Soul smiled. This mare was very timid and shy, he could tell. She seemed like she felt out of place. But one of Silver's talents was to see beyond the outside of ponies.
"You don't have to stutter like that," he commented lightheartedly, "I swear I'm just like any other pony. Would you mind to share your name?"
