I was driving towards my condo, which, being behind the wheel right now may not have been a bright idea; stupid Velma and her simple single thought, segregation mind! But I wasn't going to leave my car at the WYTZ studio. For all I know, her precious little Amber would somehow get her boyfriend Link to jump-start it and take her for a spin. Not that I had anything personal against Link Larkin, in fact me and him were on very good grounds.

Something blue caught my eye as I drove past a small patch of bushes. Parking my car, and walking over it turned out to be a midnight blue Cadillac convertible, now who in their right in mind would just abandon a classic like this? Perhaps it broke down. Maybe the driver is still around somewhere – where is that coming from?

What sounded like music was echoing nearby, maybe some sort of party is taking place in the deserted fields? Out of curiosity I moved across the way, where the sounds seemed to be coming from, and what I saw blew my mind. Yes, it was a party, but that's not the point; point is, both blacks and white were not only dancing beside each other, but there were a few dancing with each other. And boy did it look like fun.

Everyone seemed too focused on the beat, to have noticed that they had an unexpected guest. A group of girls were gathered around in the center, apparently getting ready to dance. There were five girls altogether, mixed around, but it was who I guessed was the lead that stood out the most to me; for she was wearing the strangest dress, a highly short, yellow dress with an orange bow and trim. I couldn't see her face because she held up a sort of... black fan? With various colored roses.

Mina: Move to the left, move to the right.

Up, down, round now, hands to the side.

Shake it to the left, shake it to the right.

Let me see you move girl, dance all night.

Clock all the men, they stop and stare.

Watch you move your body, girl you dance on air.

Do what you want, yeah, my style is flash.

If you don't like it you can kiss my ass.

I knew my eyes were probably saucers right now, I never knew a woman who would say that in public, let alone sing it. And the fact that she was the only girl who actually slapped her huh... ass, as if emphasizing it; just made her stand out more.

Girls: Aciiid! Aciiid!

Mina: That's right.

Girls: Aciiid! Aciiid!

Mina: Get ready.

Girls: Aciiid! Aciiid!

Mina: Get ready.

Girls: Aciiid! Aciiid!

Mina: Aciiid!

Now the lead girl started singing in a different language, one that I never heard before. And from the looks of it, the others didn't know it either, but I had to admit I couldn't stop myself from grooving to the beat.

Mina: Jump to the left, jump to the right.

Up, down, round now, head to the side.

Circle to the left, circle to the right.

Lose your inhibitions girl, dance all night.

Dance like a pro, like a millionaire.

Rich in your body, cause you dare to dare.

We're all unique, yeah, my style is flash.

If you don't like it you can kiss my ass.

Girls: Aciiid! Aciiid!

Mina: That's right.

Girls: Aciiid! Aciiid!

Mina: Get ready.

Girl: Aciiid! Aciiid!

Mina:Get ready.

Girls: Aciiid! Aciiid!

Mina: Aciiid!

The foreign language was back, and I suddenly had a strong desire to find out what it was, and what she was saying. It's like when someone uses this big fancy word you don't know, you get the urge to find out so you're not left out.

Mina: Shake it to the left, shake it to the right.

Shake it to the left, shake it to the right.

Girls: Aciiid! Aciiid!

Mina: Aciiid! Aciiid!

Mina & Girls: Aciiid!

Everyone, including myself was clapping for them when they finished, but my attention was solely on the strange girl in the even stranger clothes. And for some reason, I found my heart skip a beat when her golden brown eyes locked onto my blue ones.

"Well, this is a... pleasant surprise." She said, strolling over to me, her voice sounding smooth and rich. "Enjoy the show?"

"Definitely, I don't think I ever met a girl so... outgoing." I replied with a big smile, she folded her huh 'fan?' giving me a good look at her cream heart shaped face. "I would love to see another dance."

"Well, step right up, don't be afraid, you can be my aide." She chanted tugging slightly on my sleeves. And we started for the center of the crowd.

"I don't think I heard your name."

"Mina." She giggled.

"Mina. Just Mina?" I said tilting my head.

"For now, Mr. Corny Collins. Just Mina." She smiled as if hiding a big secret, so she wants to play, I'll happily play.

We danced for the next several songs until both our legs were actually burning. Honestly, I can't remember the last time my legs were actually sore from grooving. We sat down on some of the chairs that were set up near a red truck parked in the grass.

"So Mina. I have a question." I said.

"And I just may have an answer." She joked, causing me to smile.

"How come I have never seem you around here before?" I asked, I come down this way day and night, and I never seen her or heard any music in the fields before.

"I own a dance studio in town, but it's been vandalized recently so we can't use it. I decided to improvise tonight because I know a lot of people would have been disappointed." She explained. "And I hate disappointing people."

"Now why would someone vandalize a studio?"

"Because, as you can see; I'm all for Integration." She frowned. "And sadly, there are still some in the world who can't or don't want to see that we're all human-beings."

"I'm liking you more and more, Mina." I smiled. Finally! A girl all for Integration! Hope is starting to form on my part apparently.

"Going by that, I'm surprise The Corny Collins Show isn't Integrated yet."

"I'm trying."

"Let me guess. Bloodsucking blonde manager who looks like she doesn't eat at all?" My eyes widened at that. How did she know?

"How did you know?"

"I had the honor to teach Velma's daughter once. I'm a dance teacher, see? Anyway Amber was a train wreck. Still is, when she's left to dance by herself." She stated.

"And even then, the only reason she's even on the show is because of Velma." I sighed.

"Velma is like a General in war, you get ride of her, and everything else is easy." Mina stated. "I think I better start heading home." She added standing up.

"Hey wait!" I said grabbing her hands. "Before you go. Well you please tell me your last name? I'd really like to see you again." I asked.

"My name is Mina Turn – "

"Haters! They found us!" A black man came running through the crowd.

"Oh, damn!" Mina swore, pulling me towards the road.

I could hear yelling coming from the supposed 'haters' and the dancers rushing to get into their cars.

"Do you have a car?" I asked.

"Yeah, but it's hiding." She replied, then it hit me, the blue Cadillac was hiding behind the bushes.

"Midnight blue Cadillac convertible?"

"Found it did you?" She laughed and stopped by my car. Her eyes flew open in shock at hearing what sounded like car engines and yelling, they were heading this way.

"Well, Mr. Corny Collins, I have to say this was probably the best night I had with a man." And with that she kissed my cheek... which turned a bright pink.

She let go of my hand and ran towards her own car. We both started our engines and sped away in different directions. I never stopped till I was outside my condo; and it was then that I realized something in my hand – the black fan Mina was holding.

A/N:FYI, The song Mina was singing is an actual song by Jem, it's called Aciiid!
