"A bunch of plates falling on your head would hurt" Leviathan smiled and kissed her forehead.

Rei stood up and twirled her around slowly "Can you dance?"

[KoYue]

Laughing, Rizel blushed a light shade of pink. "I . . . I guess it would."

"No, I cannot," Nana said stiffly, thinking of the years before her parents had lost interest in her. Always they insisted on making her take formal dance lessons, which she had detested for a variety of reasons.

[Seras]

"Are the cupboards clean?" Leviathan asked.

"Then I'll teach you a little bit." Edward lead her to an open spot in the room. He placed his hand on her back near her shoulder blade and held out his other hand "Place one hand into mine and the other lays on my shoulder"

[KoYue]

"Oh, I think that's where the rats live," Rizel responded pleasantly. "I once saw a family with cute little babies in a tub of old chocolate chips."

"Why are you doing this?" Nana asked, but doing what she was told.

[Seras]

"Okay then we will evacuate them and put them into a cage and you'll have some pets"

"Because you said showing you my dreams was an option and it gives us something to do while we stay at home. Now I want you to step forward with your right foot" He stepped backward with his left foot.

[KoYue]

"Oh!" Rizel exclaimed as she clapped her hands. "I can have a family of rats! How cute!! I just hope my dad doesn't mind . . ."

Nana automatically looked down at her feet and stepped forward. "I might hurt your foot," she mumbled.

[Seras]

"You never know. Do you have a cage?"

"Don't worry." Edward stepped back with his right foot "Now the other foot."

[KoYue]

"Umm . . . in the attic with the rest of my mom's stuff that my dad didn't want to throw out. Do you want me to get it?"

"Other foot," Nana whispered to herself. "So your dream is for me to dance with you?"

[Seras]

"Yes please" Leviathan smiled at her.

"In my dream, we danced a little bit."

[KoYue]

"Oh, can you come with me?" Rizel begged. "I don't like it up there."

"And I suppose I was dressed in a ball gown?"

[Seras]

"Sure" Leviathan said and motioned for her to lead the way.

"No." Edward said matter-of-factly.

[KoYue]

Rizel skipped out of the kitchen and back into the messy hallway. Opening a small side door to reveal a tiny set of stairs, she said, "The attic's not messy. You can see everything."

"Hm, that's odd. What was I wearing then?"

[Seras]

Leviathan followed carefully and nodded "That's good"

"A dress, but not a ballroom one" Edward said spinning Nana under his arm.

[KoYue]

"But that makes it scary," Rizel said, surprised. She reached the top of the stairs and opened another smaller door. "See?" The attic was swept clean with boxes of all sizes labeled and stacked in one corner. Even the windows were cleaner than those in the kitchen. "You can find everything."

"Ah, I see," Nana murmured. "Give me more warning next time."

[Seras]

"That's not scary, that's heavenly Rizel. Wheres the cage?"

Edward spun Nana back so his arm was around her waist "Give me a chance Nana"

[KoYue]

Rizel stood beside the door and pointed at a smal box in a corner labeled "Pet Things".
"That one, I think."

"A chance at . . . what?"
