Seblasquez: I’m not.
Smooth Jazz: Don’t spoil the surprise Seb
Dimwit_Genius: Am I going to like this surprise?
Smooth Jazz: We (and some others) have been chosen as Luna’s quinceanera court
Smooth Jazz: As such there are certain traditions that we’re expected to uphold
Dimwit_Genius: Ah, I know what this is about…
Victoria: Umm
Smooth Jazz: Sebastian and I have been charged with teaching you all how to waltz
Victoria: Waltz?!
Dimwit_Genius: I’mma stop you right there. I refuse to learn on principle.
Seblasquez: Because you’re still mad that you’re not Luna’s escort?
Dimwit_Genius: No, because I’m still mad at Luna.
Smooth Jazz: Dimitri Hale, you will forget about yourself for ONE DAY or so help me
Dimwit_Genius: You’ll what?!
Seblasquez: I’LL never speak to you again.
Victoria: Oh my…
Sir Duke: Shoulda made popcorn for this
Dimwit_Genius: I hate all of you.
Smooth Jazz: Now that we’ve settled that
Smooth Jazz: Practices will be every Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday from now until the party
Victoria: I’ll be in New York for the last practice. Is that alright?
Smooth Jazz: You’re excused.
Seblasquez: See you guys at the studio!

Sir Duke: Am I still dancing with Victoria at your party?
Moona: Oh…
Moona: Do you not want to? You and Marcus can switch partners…
Sir Duke: That’d be ideal.
Moona: I’ll let him know.
Sir Duke: Thanks.
Author’s Note: Luna’s sleeping on the couch tonight.
*sigh* so much closer to normalcy... but still so far...
Well at least almost everyone's on speaking terms again. Marriage really does bring everyone together!
