Jack arrives at the Second Moon as the second moon from which the club gets its name is setting in the azure sky. He flirts with the bouncer and grabs a prime table right near the bar. He\u2019s never been to this particular establishment, but there\u2019s only so much diversity out there in the solar systems when it comes to dance halls.<\/p>\n

A few club-goers wander his way, and he even buys a couple drinks for the ones that strike his fancy; beyond that, though, he rejects their advances. He has a date to keep, and she\u2019s due any minute.<\/p>\n

\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014<\/p>\n

Her hair is impeccably curled, her heels are impossibly tall, and her dress is the perfect shade of red. River knows all eyes are on her when she strides into the room, and that\u2019s exactly how she likes it. There\u2019s a band of Gliesians playing their native instruments on the stage at the top of the room, and there\u2019s nothing she\u2019d like more than to dance.<\/p>\n

She spies her date across the room and saunters towards him as the band strikes up a new tune. He turns to give her an appraising look, and his appreciative whistle makes her smile.<\/p>\n

\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014<\/p>\n

\u00a0\u201cHey there, Foxy Mama,\u201d Jack says, rising gallantly from his chair to offer her a seat.<\/p>\n

\u201cWell hello, Sailor,\u201d River replies, and she grabs his hand to pull him out onto the dance floor.<\/p>\n

\u201cLike that, is it,\u201d he grins, but he\u2019s already moving to the beat.<\/p>\n

River is clearly an experienced dancer and he\u2019s not too shabby, either. It isn\u2019t long before they have an enthusiastic audience. There\u2019s a space cleared on the floor just for them, and they fill it with their high-stepping bolero, their low-dipping tangos, and their perfectly-choreographed swing.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s dawn before they are even tired.<\/p>\n

\n

\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

The bartender threatens them with police action before they\u2019ll even consider leaving. As Jack walks her back to her ship, they hold hands and bump hips in the manner of young lovers while River whispers in his ear. It\u2019s all part of their game, but it doesn\u2019t make the enjoyment any less real.<\/p>\n

He stalls her at the door, asking her for the names of random stars. She humors him for a while before stopping his mouth with a kiss.<\/p>\n

\u201cSame time next month,\u201d she asks.<\/p>\n

He answers with a wink and salutes as her ship disappears over the horizon.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
