"I think some places do also. Some have dances last longer, but those usually have folks resting when they can, or only dancing at certain times." Sara said, remembering some of the places she had been to.

Hans slowly guided Tigress through the waltz.

Werner looked around the ballroom. Something made him uneasy but he could not pinpoint it.

----------------------

Back at the Great Valley, day broke and Strut, Rime, Ms. Swimmer and Mr. Bigmouth began to awaken.

They proceeded to wash up in the main lake and eat breakfast.

Mr. Bigmouth stuck his head through the portal into the Inglorious Hotel only to find out that it was still nighttime.

----------------------

Back at Pelvanida II, all the soldiers and the scientists had arrived. The ground crew was busy preparing the aircraft and vehicles. The Goat and Chong were at the "control center" of Pelvanida II. It was night time and the scorching desert air was now merely warm.

"Chong," the Goat asked, "are you the only mage or are there others who will be assisting us?"

"Mr. Goat!" a Lemur dressed in a mechanic's jumpsuit said, "our helicopter gunships are fully loaded and ready to roll."

"Good work!"

A technician looked over the view screens from the Helios IV drones. The advanced sensor suite of the drones penetrated the clouds of mustard gas and the darkness around Surf Point. "Surf Point and the surrounding towns of Southport, Shore Bright and Turnstile are completely abandoned," he looked at the monitor that showed the view of Shore Bright and the surrounding roads. The roads were littered with cars and bodies.

the mages who previously attempted to deal with Pelvanida will assist us, think of this as their chance at redeeming themselves. ' Chong glanced at the monitor.' That gas will linger for at least the next few days. in a sense the strike was TOO successful..we'll have to wait until the gas disperses enough to take over the region... whjat is the estimated number od dead. Mr Goat?"
_
Tigress followed Hans directions, moving her front paws around the sides of his waist, trying to get a comfortable position. Near them, Dixie and Franz swung around in a fluid motion each being respectful of the other person by not getting TOO close.."you're very good Franz.. " dixie said appreciating the dance.. "Something tells me you've done this quite a bit..'

Kor · **Reply #5563 on:** February 18, 2010, 12:41:15 AM

"Nice music and nice dancing. Especially with you here. I wonder how long it'll go on for." Sara said looking up to Tarrax.

Serris · **Reply #5564 on:** February 18, 2010, 12:53:29 AM

Franz nodded. "Hans, Werner and I are members of the Spanish Dance Academy," he said.

-------------------

The Goat looked at the data that they had gleaned from the Internet. "It looks like a total of at least 1,000 dead," he said. "In fact, almost all of Shore Bright's inhabitants are dead," he added.

Nick22 · **Reply #5565 on:** February 18, 2010, 01:15:19 AM

well,. that's a thousand less people we have to worry about' Chong replied. "Gas apparently is still being released from that missile it will likely be days before it is all released.. Where is the gas headed?" a screen in front of showed nearby towns like Southwind, Sun's Peak and Toonport, all of whom looked deserted
_
Spanish Dance Academy? what part of Spain?' Dixie asked "do they perform the mamba there? " She asked as the dance continued. Dixie was not bad at dancing herself, she had danced informally in her showboat shows for years, as well as singing and acting.. so she could keep up. the clock chimed to mark the half hour.

Serris · **Reply #5566 on:** February 18, 2010, 01:48:51 AM

"It's in Austria. We mostly do classical ballroom dancing but some have been known to do more energetic breakdancing," Franz replied.

-------------------

The Goat ran a computer simulation. "It looks like it will blanket Southwind," he said.

Spike went over to where Bullseye was where he was watching his shopping channels like usual. Stegs had put some earplugs in his ears and had gone to sleep.

"turn that thing off so we can go to bed." Spike said.

"BUt what I miss something. They'll soon have on a spatula that automatically flips pancakes for you." Bullseye said.

"Turn it of or I may flush it down the toilet piece by piece. And you buy to much of those things anyway." Spike said.

"It's not junk. Just look at this pair of earmuff radio, mp3 player that I got just last week. Very useful. You can listen to the radio or mp3's while your ears are kept warm." Bullseye said.

"And like the Mickey Mouse Limber cheese dispenser that you bought last week?" Spike Said.

"We all need our sleep Bullseye." T-bone said in a tired voice.

"And this pocket tv with built in satellite receiver." Bullseye said holding up his small tv.

"Oh ok. But it'll be your fault if we miss something really useful." Bullsye said as he turned off his small pocket tv .

"I guess we'll just have to cope." T-bone said in a tired voice with some sarcasm in it.

Raph used the time before he went to bed to talk to Mona Lisa, his girl friend, for a bit.

Nick22 · **Reply #5568 on:** February 18, 2010, 04:28:16 PM

Austria? then why aren't you called the Vienna Dance school?' Dixie asked " Well, anyway could you show me a few of this moves?
_
Thanks for showing me how to dance " tigress said gratefully to Hans.."I'm having a lot of fun.. "

Nick22 · **Reply #5569 on:** February 18, 2010, 04:31:40 PM

Blanket Southwind, hum.. then the it will eventually spread over a huge area..spread by the wind..' Chong murmured " we'll have tio wear protective clothing, and producing forty thousand of those will take time.."
_
Tarrax continued dancing with Sara periodically nuzlling and kissing her.

Kor · **Reply #5570 on:** February 18, 2010, 09:01:15 PM

Sara danced with Tarrax, returning his kisses & nuzzles as she rubbed part of her tail along his.

The rest of the Extreme Dinosaurs all went to bed.

Franz shrugged. "I do not know," he replied.

Hans nodded. "You're welcome,"

------------------

Ms. Swimmer went through the portal into the Inglorious Hotel to look around. She heard music and traced it to the underground ballroom.

When she arrived there, she spotted Hans, Dixie, Tigress and Franz waltzing.

------------------

"All soldiers are issued protective gear," the Goat replied.

"However, a fair amount may have been destroyed by the strike at Pelvanida," a technician reminded him.

"Damn it! We'll have to acquire them somehow then."

Nick22 · **Reply #5572 on:** February 18, 2010, 11:18:40 PM

care to join us?' asked a nearby ghost couple to Ms Swimmer "You'll just have to partner up with someone.. whoever's handy..'
_ just pointing out something. i guess Veinna" was already taken " Dixie said. " A couple more dances I think then I'll head up to bed.. it is getting late.
_
Tigress leaned over and gave Hans a friendly lick on the cheek" Thats for being so patient with me" She smiled.
__ check on see how many you do have.." Chong said to the Goat..

Serris · **Reply #5573 on:** February 18, 2010, 11:34:34 PM

Ms. Swimmer looked. "I would actually like to show off a traditional victory dance from the Great Valley," she said. "But I need permission to use torches. Otherwise I will use ordinary sticks," she added.

----------------------

The Goat looked at the inventory checklist. "We've got about 25,000 pairs. We salvaged several crates of them from the ruins of Pelvanida and we purchased several crates of them a few weeks back. In any case, I will get to ordering them," he added.

Nick22 · **Reply #5574 on:** February 18, 2010, 11:39:46 PM

you may use torches. we're ghosts , so its not like fire can hurt us" replied a male ghost. " We will stop our waltz to allow you to perform our dance.."
_ This should be good, I've seen her dance before "" Dixie said, using the halt in the action to go sit on a seat off the dance floor.
_ I'll just rest my feet for a bit" Tigress said to Hans. Then I'll rejoin you..
_
that means about 15000 more. how quickly do you think we can get that number here?' chong asked.

Kor · **Reply #5575 on:** February 18, 2010, 11:45:15 PM

"This is very nice indeed." Sara said to Tarrax.

Serris · **Reply #5576 on:** February 18, 2010, 11:57:25 PM

"I'll have to see, I can probably get them air dropped in but it may take a day or two," the Goat responded.

--------------------------

Hans and Franz stepped off of the dance floor.

Ms. Swimmer nodded. "All right, wait a moment while I get the Great Valley dance troupe," she said.

She then exited the ballroom and headed back into the portal.

--------------------------

"So what's going on?" Mr. Bigmouth asked.

"Dance performance," she replied.

She then headed to the feeding grounds where she grabbed five other fire dancers, several torches, a piece of vine with oilplant leaves wadded up in them and stepped through the portal with the other dinosaurs following.

--------------------------

The group then headed to the underground ballroom.

Werner tossed a lighter to Ms. Swimmer who lit her torch, which was more like a quarterstaff. The other dinosaurs lit their torches and vine wads off of her torches.

One of the dinosaurs was using the wooden table as an impromptu drum.

She then stepped into the center and began slowly spinning the torch to the beat of the music, leaving a trail of embers behind them. To the side of her, two other fire dancers slashed and twirled.

Nick22 · **Reply #5577 on:** February 19, 2010, 12:11:45 AM

tigress sat next to dixie, as they watched the performance ' so er.. how am I doing?' she asked "My feet are hurting, my back feet.. i'm not used to using them to support me..
- you're doing great.. ' dixie said kindly.." thanks.. so you're sure about what I asked you earlier?
-
Absolutely.. just don't go blab about it.. The wizard would skin both of us alive..and thats if we're lucky..

Serris · **Reply #5578 on:** February 19, 2010, 12:17:48 AM

The drumbeats sped up and Ms. Swimmer twirled her torch even faster until it appeared to be a blur. She even threw it into the air and continued twirling it after she caught it.

The two side fire dancers were twirling their torches at an even faster rate.

The two other fire dancers with the vine wads whirled them around their bodies at a such great speed that only the flaming ball of oilplant leaves was visible.

By this time, Rime, Deimos and Mr. Bigmouth were also watching. Dr. Zanasiu, Zachary, Dr. Kerzach, Setsuna, Dirk, Jose, Clive, A and Jose followed Strut into the ballroom. They all stood in rapture at the dance.

By this time, the drumbeat had sped up even more and were joined by the ecstatic screaming of the dancers.

So you are not on good terms with you parents..
_ well its been awhile since I've seen them, i've been with Genki and Tiger" tigress whispered as they watched the Dancing speed up still further, it was truly a spectacle to behold and both girls were enjoying the performance..
-Do they want you to come back with a mate?' Dixie asked " tigress nodded. "yes and quite possibly a baby as well.. although i don't think i'm ready for that.. I'm not sure Tiger is willing to meet my folks.."
