Smooth With the Ladies

"I can't dance"

At the graduation ceremony, you don't feel too social because, well, you're a laid back kind of guy. Your friends Zell and Selphie try to prod you into celebrating, but it's just not your thing. Just when you thought everyone has left you alone to your peace and quiet, Rinoa, a beautiful baywatch-caliber girl, walks up to you and starts hitting on you. She starts off by saying that you're the most handsome man here, and then, she asks you to dance. You stay silent, but she stays persistent. "Let me guess. You only dance with girls you like." She says. She then waves her hands in your face as if to cast a spell and chants, "You're going to like me… You're going to like me…" She pauses and then asks, "Well, did it work?" You feel somewhat bad that she's trying so hard while you haven't said a word to her. So, you admit out loud, "I can't dance."

She's my type

Being the aggressively social girl that she is, she drags you on the ballroom floor, puts your arms around her and tries to teach you ball-room dance moves. You bump into a neighboring couple in which you look desperately at them to apologize, but before you can utter anything, Rinoa scowls at them as if to say, "He's just learning, okay?." You then stumble a bit and step on her foot. Embarrassed, you try to walk away, but she drags you back. In a few minutes, you and her are dancing like you two were born for each other, but alas, "Cinderella" has to leave at midnight. She splits. You don't get a goodbye. You don't get her number. You don't get a glass shoe. Frustrated, you leave to do your own thing while accepting that it was a one-night thing.
