Title: Dancing Lessons 3 Rating: G Length: 169 Competitor: Owen Round/Fight: 2/B Summary: Owen's ready to dance, but he can't.
:::: Owen watched Kel across the ballroom. It was the moment he had been waiting for; he had been preparing himself for months. So why wasn’t he asking Kel to dance? Owen knew that he was afraid of rejection. The last time that he had tried dancing with Kel it had ended disastrously. What if Kel was afraid of it happening again? Owen spent the rest of the night standing by the wall, torturing himself as he watched Kel dance with everyone else. He stared enviously as Neal, still a superior dancer to Owen, glided Kel around. He watched Kel trip and land in Merric’s arms. He saw Seaver fall over Kel’s foot. Owen watched every dance, every interaction that Kel had that night intently. Owen watched Kel with a burning desire to go over to her. But Owen convinced himself that it was better if he stayed here. At least he was safe over here, safe from messing up.
As long as he stayed here, he could still dream.

Oh, this is the perfect description of a wall-flower at a dance. Poor boy!
