When she turned her attention back to Gaston, she realised Rose had joined them. Kay smiled again. “I’m trying figure out what’s wrong with him.’’


Her gaze turned to Gaston again. Before she could speak up, he was offering his reason. “Oh… Gaston, I’m sorry to hear you feel that way. But you should know that nothing happens before its time. You’ll find her.’’ Or him. Whichever way Gaston swung. She put a comforting hand on Gaston’s arm. She knew exactly how he felt. She hadn’t been lucky with relationships and the one guy she had gotten a crush- Viktor… it turned out that Laurel liked him too.

"Don't be silly! If I'm going to dance, you and Rose are dancing with me.'' There was no way she was leaving Gaston. Not when he was so down.

It was worse than what Rosalyn had thought; she had felt that Gaston maybe had disapproved of the marriage. Turned out that he was feeling lonely. That was something that she could relate to even if she didn't let it get her down - it was always nice to immerse herself into the things that she was passionate about. Besides, a lot of people didn't find love until later in life. It was perfectly normal. Kay was another example; they had both been single for some time. "Kay is right. You're great and any woman would be lucky to have you." Nod. Lack of confidence wasn't very nice but several of people were like that and it didn't stop them from finding the right person. "I'm single too and so is Kay. A lot of us on Staff are single." Didn't mean that they couldn't have fun and enjoy life.

"Yes, we both want to dance with you!" Rosalyn said as she ignored Peeves and Miffy. They were yelling way too much for her tastes. Still she kept an eye out just in case they got too out of hand and students ended up in danger. Best to be careful.


Gaston was surprised when Kay touched his arm. He stiffened a bit but made no effort to pull away from her. But it was Rosalyn's words that had him paralyzed with shock. Did she really mean -? And he couldn't help but wonder if there was some meaning behind that nod. No, of course not! He was being ridiculous... she was only saying those things to make him feel better. What would anybody see in him?

He managed a halfhearted smile, though his eyes were still just as sad as ever. He appreciated what they were trying to do, he really did, but they didn't understand. He wasn't after just any woman...

Gaston shook his head at their words, and a few stubborn tears escaped his brilliant blue eyes."That's the thing, I have found her..." he said, fixing his gaze on the floor, the buffet table, the band, even the poltergeists... anything but the two women beside him, lest his eyes betray his true feelings. "...but she has no idea." And she never would. Nothing would change if she did. He didn't stand a chance...

WHAT?! Gaston blinked. Both Kay and Rosalyn were offering to dance with him... well, that was unexpected! Usually he couldn't even find one dance partner at functions like this, let alone two. This had never happened to him before! He was so flabbergasted that he completely forgot all about his love life (or more to the point, his lack of one).

"Y-you don't have to-" he stammered, nervously running a hand through his dark hair. "I don't - really, I'm a terrible dancer! The last time I tried -" Well, the last time had been at his Beaubatons graduation ball. He ended up stepping on the hem of his date's dress and ripping it, and she slapped him in the face. But they didn't need to know that! "Never mind."

Somehow he had an idea these ladies weren't going to take no for an answer, though, and he laughed a little in spite of himself. "Fine, you win."
