You can pick as many songs as you want.

[Despite himself, a wan smile escapes him.]

Aw man, those are great. Somebody to Love is awesome, and I love Footloose. I danced every time I heard it play.

[He whispers, conspiratorially.]

Totally worth it.

[lacecase]

But what isn't awesome by Queen, right?

[Suddenly, she's smiling. It isn't much of a smile, but...even in a place like this, Peter's distracting makes it a little bit easier. She feels like she's somewhere else. Her thoughts about normal, pleasant things had all slipped through her fingers and she couldn't keep hold of them. But now, at last, one of them writhes in her fist. She's trying to keep from letting go.]

I'm, like, a terrible dancer. But dancing's just, like, how you feel in your heart coming out of your feet. Yeah, it's totally worth it.

[zunesareawesome]

Right! [She has the correct opinion!]

Hey, nobody's a terrible dancer. That's exactly it! As long as you're moving, that's what counts. You feel that beat and suddenly everything is good. And there's nothing that can stop you from having a great time.

[lacecase]

Ah...maybe sometime soon we could have some kind of, like, dance party...

[Her smile falters. It's hard to imagine, even though it sounds so nice. Sensing the stress beginning to creep back into that bubble of brightness that Peter managed to work out of her, she fights to hold onto it.]

You could, like, make a playlist. The best songs to dance by!

[zunesareawesome]

We should! [Some of his old enthusiasm flickers back and he sounds genuinely excited.]

Oh man, that would be so great? I'm definitely going to make a playlist when we--

[His voice hitches, but he barrels through.]

When we get back. [That's when, not if.]

We're gonna do it. Dance party, okay? For everybody.

[lacecase]

That sounds perfect to me. Dance party...no ifs, ands, or buts about it!

[The only acceptable "but" will be the kind that's shaking.]

[zunesareawesome]

[And he completely agrees with that as well!]

And you're gonna dance, right? Dance like nobody's watching, dance your heart out? Break crap, who cares?
