I'm Too Sexy For My Dress Sphere [Active]

Character(s): Belle and Yuna
Content: While the Heartless roam in the darkness outside, Yuna and Belle put on their own fashion show.
Setting: Iriela Apartments
Time: Week 10
Warnings: None

Though the darkness outside had lightened up slightly, the inside of Belle and Yuna's apartment still needed quite a few candles. As Belle shook the flame out of the match in her hand after lighting the last one, she turned and smiled at Yuna. "It's been so long since we've spent time together," she said softly, walking to one of their couches and sitting down. As she demurely arranged her skirt around her legs, she glanced at the nearby curtained window.

Lately, it was hard to find anything to be joyful about...the constant veil of shadows really did affect ones mood after awhile.

Yuna had decided to stay indoors lately, mostly because, as Belle had said, the two roommates hadn't really spent a whole lot of time together, especially since the craze of Yuna's kidnapping. Luckily, all that had managed to come out okay and Yuna had gotten her dresspheres back. One of the spheres was clutched in her hand at the moment as she glanced out of the window while Belle lit the candles.

Pulling the curtains closed out of an oddly exposed feeling, Yuna nodded and turned back to her friend, fingers tightening on the dressphere in her hand. It was a light shade of purple, exactly the same color as the songstress shirt.

"It has been," she agreed, smiling over at the other girl. "I've been a little worried about everything, but I never really thanked you properly for helping get me out of Hades' hands."

Belle parted her lips in surprise before glancing away, the faint smile on her face weakened by the pang of guilt she felt even now. "Oh, please, don't thank me," she replied quickly, reaching up to tuck a strand of loose hair behind her ear. She still didn't meet Yuna's eyes. "I didn't do anything...all I did was bring a brush to Mr. Dresden so he could find you."

She finally looked her friend in the eye now, determination setting her jaw. "But I'm going to pratice my archery more so that I'll be of more use, I promise."

The guilt flooded Yuna then as she looked at her roommate and friend. "But you brought help and that's what really matters... I should have been more careful."

But really, where was that line of thinking going to lead them anyway? Just down the road of self-pity and that was a road Yuna never traveled. So she forced a smile and reached out to Belle with one hand.

"I'm just glad we found my dresspheres again. I was a bit useless without them, since it's been a long time since I didn't have them with me."

Turning the sphere over in her hand, she stared down at it. "You know what we need? A little music!"

Belle was fascinated by the dressphere. It seemed to be a ball of solid violet light in Yuna's hand. It was certainly nothing Belle had ever seen before and it seemed unlikely to be a kind of technology. No, any way she looked at it, it had to be magic, plain and simple. Yuna had once briefly explained what the dresspheres were for and what they did, but it was hard for Belle to wrap her mind around such a fantastical concept. But now she'd see it in action! It was so exciting.

"Music?" she repeated, blinking a bit owlishly. "What...what sort of music?" It was clear she didn't understand why they'd need music in the first place.

"Like dancing music!" Yuna giggled. "It's been really quiet lately and that's not so good on the heart sometimes. So why don't I do a little singing? It'll at least brighten the room a little."

Without waiting for a response, Yuna tucked the dressphere back into her garment grid, listening to it click into place, before she attempted to activate it. Bright light engulfed her, completely blocking her from view, and when she reemerged, she was dressed in her songstress dress.

As always, when she wore it, she felt as light as a feather, bouncy, and as though everything was just fine. Giggling aloud, she grabbed the microphone that appeared in her hand and began to dance a little, humming one of the tunes as she debated which piece to sing.

"I wish Shinra were here. He'd be able to make another one, I'm sure, and then we could do a duet!"

"Singing...?" Before Belle could respond further, bright light filled the room. She gasped, holding up her hands to shield her eyes...and as the light faded, she blinked rapidly to bring Yuna's new appearance into view. "Oh!" she murmured softly, eyes wide now. "What a beautiful dress!" And it was blue, which Belle considered the most beautiful color ever.

When Yuna mentioned a duet, Belle grinned. "I'm not sure you and I would know the same songs. After all, we're from different worlds!"

Yuna bounced a little bit more before her feet automatically took her into a small dance. "Well, I didn't know any of the songs, either, until the dressphere taught them to me!" she answered with a laugh as she twirled around. "The person whose outfit this was died a thousand years ago on Spira."

With a huge effort, she stopped dancing, but she couldn't force her feet to stop bouncing. "The dressphere just knows the dance and the song."

"That's amazing!" Belle said, standing from the sofa to get a closer look at Yuna's outfit. The flowing blue fabric was both revealing and concealing. It was like water. She walked around Yuna, eyebrow raised in thought. "I thought perhaps this was technology far beyond my own world, like the journals, but this must be some kind of magic. To be able to have the talents of someone thousands of years in the past...how extraordinary!" At this last exclamation, Belle took Yuna's hands and giggled.

"You must sing. I'd love to hear an ancient song from your world!"

"I don't know how Shinra does it," Yuna admitted, twirling just a little. "I think it is magical, though, as well as technological, since the spheres always carry hints to Spira's past, even if it's recent history." She laughed a little at Belle's last words, though. "I don't think I'd call them ancient. If you want one of those, I'll just sing the Hymn of the Fayth." Which would bring back a lot of not-so-fond memories for the former summoner. Best not to dwell on those for now.

The microphone was being tapped against her other palm then, subconsciously as she'd never really been able to control this one as well as the others. "There's not much room in here right now, but I'll try to show you Real Emotion. It's one of my favorites, though I can't really control the dancing."

Hopefully Belle wouldn't mind that part.

"Oh, yes! Please, do!" Belle replied excitedly, rushing back to the couch to sit like a good audience member. She always loved the arts, loved watching exotic, beautiful performers from other parts of the world act out incredible feats of skill. However, such a treat was a rare thing for the peasant girl. She only once saw a traveling troupe, but was instantly charmed.

Now she sat on the edge of her seat, watching Yuna with anticipation.

Yuna grinned at Belle's excitement as she took "center stage" and prepared. Singing alone without the kind of backup Shinra could give from the airship was weird for her, but at least the dressphere itself seemed to make up for the lack of amps and speakers. The music wasn't nearly as loud as she'd expected it to be, but at least it was there and Belle could likely hear it as well.

The song itself was a bouncy one, happy and full of lots of crazy moves. Yuna didn't need to worry about forgetting a step or a move; the dressphere wouldn't let her forget, pulling her feet and the rest of her along for the ride. She grinned more, completely immersing herself in the feel of the song and the emotions it pulled out.

When she finished, she was out of breath and still grinning. "I hope that was okay. At least I didn't break anything!"

As she watched Yuna, Belle sat forward on the edge of the couch, clapping in time to the music. It was much faster than anything she'd heard in her own world -- even the most undignified country reel didn't have a beat as bouncy and quick as this. As immersed as her friend was in the feel of the song, Belle let herself be swept up in it as well and, at the end of the song, found herself breathless.

She leapt to her feet, clapping excitedly. "That was wonderful!" she cried, grinning. "You have such a beautiful voice, Yuna! And that dancing...so complicated but you made it look effortless."

Yuna grinned as she bounced a little more. "I'm so glad you liked it! It's one of my favorites!" She blushed at the compliment, though and reached out her hands to Belle.

"I wonder if you could use one of my garment grids. I don't know if the same dressphere could be used by both of us, but if you can use a grid, maybe you could learn the dance too!"

Belle's eyes widened. To use the same magic and move as gracefully as Yuna would be a dream come true, but what if something went wrong? She was only hesitant for a moment, though, when her growing drive for adventure took control. Grinning excitedly, she gripped Yuna's hands in response. "That would be marvelous! What should I do?"

Yuna grinned in response, bouncing a little bit as Belle gripped her hands. As soon as the question was out of her friend's mouth, Yuna reached into her pocket to grab the sphere grid, which automatically caused the lights to shimmer around her and change her into her usual outfit again. Grid in hand, she reached out with it to offer it to Belle.

"This is the grid and the dressphere is this one." She pointed to the correct sphere, the one she'd been holding earlier. "Just focus on it to make it work. I don't think you'll end up with the same outfit I was wearing, but it'll be similar." She couldn't wait to see if it worked. It had for Leblanc, after all.
