Mush was standing in the ballroom, uncomfortable in suit and his surroundings. Sure, he saw a lot of other newsies there, but they were all busy with their girls and whatnot. And speaking of, where was his? They had decided to meet here, since Ershey had taken a later shift at Tibby's, but she should be here soon...he hoped.
She had told him earlier that there was something she needed to talk to him about... He wondered what it was.

Ershey hoped she looked okay. Despite all the layers of clothing, she still felt out of place. She'd taken the time to dress up and fix her hair (thanks to Macbeth), hoping that she looked presentable for the Ball. She knew looks meant a lot around these sort of things. Besides, she was excited to be able to wear a nice dress and pretend she wasn't a newsie for a day.
She walked in with Risk and Macbeth in tow, immediately separating from them once she spotted Mush. She snuck up behind him and tapped him on the shoulder. "Excuse me," she muttered, trying her best not to laugh.

He jumped a bit, then turned around, ready to tell whoever it was that he was waiting for someone. But then he saw it was that exact person. "Ersh!" he said, smiling widely. Then his eyes bulged as he looked her up and down. "Whoa..."

"You like it?" she smiled, blushing slightly once she noticed his reaction.
"So, how many girls have you already turned down since you got here?" teased Ershey, taking his arm.

"Oh, be quiet," he replied, blushing a bit. He led her to the refreshments table and handed her a glass of champagne. "They must know I'm not interested in anyone but my beautiful girl."

"Thanks," she chuckled, taking the glass of champagne from him and taking a sip. "And just so you know, I think guys in suits look very handsome. Especially you."
((Oh, I watched the DVD! I definitely saw it when I was little 'cause I remember the organ being scary >< Hahaha))

He blushed even more, chuckling to himself. "Shucks, Ersh. You really know how to make a guy blush."
((yay! Haha. Yeah he is kinda scary!!))

She simply smirked at him as she looked around, amazed at how well some of the newsies blended in with the crowd.
"Do you, uh, wanna dance?"

He looked at the dance floor warily. "Uh...sure, why not?" He held out his hand for her. A lot of the other newsboys were out there dancing, so he wouldn't look like too much of a fool.

"Really?" she beamed, actually quite surprised that he'd agreed. She knew Mush was always wary about dancing but this just made her night even better.

He rolled his eyes, chuckling. "Let's just get out there before I change my mind."

"Okay, okay, I'm stopping," she smirked, following him to the dance floor before putting her arm on his shoulder.

He put one hand on her waist, the other taking her own hand. Since he had no idea what he was doing, he just copied what all the other couples were doing.

Ershey followed Mush's lead as they moved around on the dance floor. "See? You're not so bad! I don't know why you're always so scared to dance," she smiled, chuckling softly.

He smirked over at her, trying hard not to break his concentration. "You're just saying that because you love me..."
