Notes: Thank you all so much for your awesome and humbling feedback. I really enjoyed writing these. If anybody wanted to attempt "Behind Blue Eyes" by the Who as Helga-leaning drabbles, the challenge still stands! Maybe I'll try something like this again some day with another song or a different (more obscure) set of characters to make it interesting. Again, thank you, thank you, thank you for your support and encouragement. :)

No matter what we do tonight

"Come dance with me."

"How do I know you won't throw me into a pool again?"

"I promise, as long as you don't pretend you're blind."

"You've got yourself a deal. Lead the way."

"You know, I've always had fun dancing with you."

"Sure."

"I mean it. I wish we could have… danced more often."

"I—yeah… me too."

"You'll come visit me, right? When we're in college? We can go dancing."

"Gee… I'll be pretty busy. But sure. I guess I could do you a favor."

"Don't get too excited, you're blushing."

"Don't flatter yourself."

"Keep saying that, Helga."
