About a month and a half later the school was holding a valentine party for all the seniors. the group had decided they would go along for a laugh. The party was being held in the school gym, there were red and pink coloured balloons hanging down from the ceiling, tables with pink and red clothes over them and little heart sequins over them. The DJ was the only thing that wasn't pink or red with little hearts around, he wasn't even playing a lot of love songs, just fast paced dance songs with an occasional fast love song. Mac and Stella were sat at a table while Don, Chelle, Danny and Lindsay were dancing. Mac whispered something to Stella and she nodded. Stella walked away and after a few minutes Mac followed.

“wonder where they're off to” Lindsay commented, Danny turned around to see Mac walking out and Stella's shadow entering the teachers toilets.

“my guess, teacher's toilets”

“oh”

During the party there was lots of dancing, drinking and escaping to class rooms to get some privacy.

The DJ had started to play some slower songs, Flack and Chelle, and several other couples, were already on the dance floor, her arms were wrapped around his neck while his were wrapped around her waist; they were swaying to the music. When the song changed Flack and Chelle didn't seem to notice, as long as the slow music continued to play they would stay in each others arms forever. Danny had been half listening to Lindsay and half listening to the music, when Lindsay took a breath and waited for Danny's response he took the opportunity to stand up and ask her,

“Miss Monroe, can i have this dance?”

He held out his hand, and she placed her hand in his. Danny led them both to the dance floor, he placed her arms on his shoulders and he put his arms around her waist so they met at the small of her back. She lay her head on his chest and let him move her to the music.

Mac and Stella were outside, but they could still hear the music from inside. They were laying down on a grassy patch, holding hands, and looking at the stars. Mac slowly stood up, pulling Stella up with him.

“dance with me?” he said as he pulled her closer.

Stella accepted his request and allowed him to pull her into his body. Like the other couples, their arms were strategically placed on shoulders and around waists. When the song finished they stopped dancing. Stella took Mac's hand and took him back inside

“Our song, we have to dance” Stella said while leading him to the dance floor. They were directly below the mirror ball and they began to dance like they were dancing before.

“i love you” he whispered, as Mac said this a flurry of balloons fell from the celling and surrounding them. Somehow Danny and Lindsay, and Flack and Chelle had managed to move into the center of the dance floor, all three couples were dancing very close to each other. The balloons had missed them so they continued to dance. They were all completely oblivious to their surroundings, so much so they didn't realize that they were the only 3 couple left on the floor. By the end of the song they had spaced put a little bit they were all still quite close.

“lets hear it, folks, for the last three couples on the floor” the DJ announced “the music is now officially over. Happy valentines day everyone” the DJ ad finally finished the last of his music and, the few people that were left, started to leave. After about 10 minutes there were only six people left in the hall, Stella, Mac, Flack, Chelle, Danny and Lindsay, as well as the DJ.

“hey guys, this one's for you” he switched on the song Because You Loved Me, and they started to dance again.

Back at the pub the radio was playing quite a few love songs. The next song that played was because you loved me. Each couple got up and proceeded to the tiny dance floor
