wishing-to-be-blue-like-daddy:
[In the future]
Ahem, somebody thought it would be cute to dress Roxy up for Halloween. I think it’s safe to say Roxy disagrees.
-laughs- “Dad! It’s the perfect costume! Can you imagine how people are going to freak seeing this huuuuge spider running toward them?”
[Sighs, but chuckles as well] That’s if you can get her to run toward them. If Roxy doesn’t like her costume, she’s more likely to flop down like a lump.
Well now she definitely felt sheepish as he was trying to be romantic while she had tried to seduce him again. She ducked her head a bit to hide her blushing cheeks and just danced with him, unable to keep the smile of happiness of her face.
“Prince Jackson,” she began to keep up the fantasy, “you’re a marvelous dancer. Surely there are many princesses in the land who would jump at the opportunity to be with you and yet I feel so lucky as to be the one you picked; to be the one who is graced with your presence.”
She could almost hear an orchestra playing for them, imagining they were out on a marble dance floor with streamers hanging off of tall archways in a castle.
“The honor is all mine, fair Katelynn,” he replied with a lovesick smile. Even if they were just dancing in their living room, to music from a movie, it was still more than he’d ever thought he’d have. During his adolescence and young adulthood, he’d dreamed of finding someone who would love him just as he was, but in his heart, he’d always believed he was too shy and strange for it to ever come true.
But now he’d found Katelynn – lovely, sweet, brave Katelynn – and the years of loneliness seemed more than worth it. Yes, it hadn’t always been easy, but as far as Jack was concerned, the good times far outweighed the bad. They had each other, their love, and the promise of a future together, and that was all he could have wished for.
He kept dancing with her, pressing his body against hers. Just because he’d wanted to dance first didn’t mean he had forgotten what she had in mind – quite the opposite! As the movie finally ended and the TV fell silent, Jack carefully bent his knees, and scooped Katelynn into his arms.
“Come, my princess. Let us retire to our chambers.”
The painter was thin and not very strong, but she was so slight that it wasn’t hard for him to hold her up. Smiling, he carried her, bridal-style, into the bedroom, and nudged the door shut behind him.
“Jack!” she called out in surprise, forgetting to call him by his roleplay name as she bound her hands around his shoulder to hold on tight. He had never carried her bridal style before and yet it was so romantic, like something out a movie that she couldn’t help a tiny squeal of happiness. “O-Oh wow..”
Definite turn on for her as she hid her face in his neck for a moment. “So the prince has rescued his princess from the evil doer or are you planting me in the ‘castle’ where you will come rescue me?”
She still needed to build the fort to give it the full effect to but she was happy enough in his arms for now.
Jack hoped she wasn’t going to expect him to carry her like this regularly. He could manage it for short distances, when he was excited enough, but it was still hard to keep her safe and balanced. Not to mention, he liked it more when she took the lead; he wished she didn’t feel so self-conscious about ‘seducing’ him, because he loved knowing how much she wanted him. But this was special, and part of the fantasy.
“Mm, whichever you’d prefer, my love.” He laid Katelynn gently down on the soft quilt. The lights were off, but it would be easy – and more romantic – for him to fetch some candles from the other room. “This is your fairy tale, after all."

“I’m not really all that innocent,” she murmured bashfully as she turned her gaze away to look at the movie, seeing the musical number of “You’re The One That I Want” come on. Unable to help it and even if the lines were sung by Danny, she leaned up to kiss his jawline and began singing, though in a more subdued alto than the high beat way Danny was belting.
“I got chills, they’re multiplying
And I’m loosing control
Cause the power you’re supplying
It’s electrifying…See?” she finished, her body flush against his. Now that the tea was consumed and their pieces of cake eaten she figured it was time to roleplay unless he other ideas.
How could he have other ideas, with the feel of her lips on his skin and her body pressed against him, all softness and warmth? Jack let out a very un-princely little whimper, trying to force himself to calm down and stay in character for the fantasy. “Oh y-yes, I see.”
Since the music was still playing, Jack got to his feet, nudging the trays out of the way with his boot. He helped Katelynn up, and pulled her to dance with him, still holding her close as he hummed along with the final song:
We go together, like rama-lama-lama-ka-dinga-da-dinga-dong
Remembered forever, as shoobop-sha-wadda-wadda-yippity-boom-de-boom
Chang-chang-changitty-chang-shoobop
That’s the way it should beWe’re one of a kind, like dip-dadip-dadip-doowop-da-doobee-doo
Our names are signed, boogedy-boogedy-boogedy-boogedy-shooby-doowop-shebop

Snuggling against him, she couldn’t believe she had been bold enough to suggest something like that but at least he liked the idea. She took comfort in that. But just like him now she was distracted by other thoughts, fantasies and such running through her mind that she had forgotten they were replacing dialogue in the movie. Her fingers were busy playing with the buttons of his princely coat as she bit down on her lip.
And then suggested changing her look for a guy just so she could fit in with his friends and they wouldn’t tease him about dating a goody goody.
“Poor Sandy gave in to peer pressure it seems..if Danny really loved her he would have loved her the way she was, for who she was. Just like I did with you.” She looked up at him and smiled.
“I know.” Jack let out a low, unhappy sigh as he watched the made-over Sandy, with her new, aggressively sexual look and attitude that, to him, seemed fake and forced. “I remember hating this part of the movie the first time I watched it. And I didn’t understand it. He did like her, when they were together at the beginning.”
He smiled back at her. “And, I admit, I liked the old Sandy a lot more. Looking back now … she reminds me a lot of you, Katelynn. In a good way,” he added quickly.

Clinging to the front of his princely attire, Katelynn hid her face against his chest as he confessed that, hoping to hide away from the ridiculous amount of blushing she had done tonight. If he wasn’t careful she might faint from it.
“It doesn’t make you sound like a pig, love. If anything..I think I pretty much seduced you that first time and sometimes it made me guilty, like I should have waited longer. But that night was just so magical and you were so romantic and cute..No one had ever loved me like this before and I just..knew you were the perfect one because you stayed by my side at the hospital when no one else did. And you’ve only continued proving I made the right choice. So I guess waiting wouldn’t have mattered because of our desire to be together, right?”
She peeked up from his chest, smiling up at him and resting her chin there. “Still amazes me sometimes that you’re real and you loved me so fast..but waiting until after marriage seems rather antiquated now?”
Suddenly having an idea, she leaned up to whisper, “If you want, we can pretend tonight is the first time for both of us, maybe I’m Princess Katelynn and you’re the handsome Prince Jackson who rescues her and whisks her away to castle and takes her virginity?”
It was rather embarrassing to suggest but it could also be fun. They could even build a fort out of pillows to complete the stage. She ducked away from his eyes rather sheepishly.
He cradled her close against him, hugging her as she rested her head against his chest. Even if it might mess up their outfits, oh, he needed so badly to hold her after what she’d just said.
“Please, Katelynn, don’t feel guilty about it.” Jack nuzzled his cheek against her hair. “Never, ever feel guilty about it. What happened that night … it was so wonderful. I still think about it. N-not just because it was my first time, but because it was my first time with you.” He smiled softly. “If you seduced me, I was happy to be seduced.”
His blue fingers combed gently through her sandy-brown hair. “We were meant for each other. Wh-when you love someone, when you want them, and you’re both sure of it … what’s the point of waiting? Real love happens so rarely. I never thought I’d find …” Jack realized he was rambling, so he stopped himself and simply hugged Katelynn tighter, letting his touch say all the things he couldn’t express in words.
And then he heard her idea. His eyes widened, and his cheeks turned purple again. Gulping, he managed to answer, “Uh … y-yes, we could do that. I’d like that. I’d like that very much.” He kissed her forehead. “You deserve your special night, Princess Katelynn. Your prince will see that you have it.”
Thinking about it, though, was going to make it hard for Jack to pay attention to the rest of movie.
Snuggling against him, she couldn’t believe she had been bold enough to suggest something like that but at least he liked the idea. She took comfort in that. But just like him now she was distracted by other thoughts, fantasies and such running through her mind that she had forgotten they were replacing dialogue in the movie.

Well the website had been right; this was a wonderful date idea and a lot of fun! It made her nervous sometimes because she wasn’t exactly witty and yet wanted to make Jack laugh with her lines.
“O-Oh! This song!” she cried softly as Sandra Dee began, Katelynn standing up to act out Rizzo’s lines as she really got into character even though she had been playing Sandy not to long ago when they sang Summer Nights together.
“Look at me I’m Sandra Dee
Lousy with virginity~
Won’t go to bed until I’m legally wed
I can’t I’m Sandra Dee~”Throughout the song she was moving her hips and acting just like the woman in the movie though it made her blush terribly at times for several reasons.
“Watch it! Hey I’m Doris Day
I was not brought up that way
Won’t come across,
Even Rock Hudson lost
His heart to Doris DayI don’t drink or swear
I don’t rat my hair
I get ill from one cigarette
Keep your filthy paws off my silky drawers”By this point she was blushing so bad she sat back down, her face so red you could cook an egg on it. “Obviously the character..not me that was suggesting it.”
Poor Jack was doubled over, laughing so much that tears were leaking from his eyes. He tried desperately to recover his voice, panting and gasping as he talked. “D-don’t worry, I kn-kn-know that.” He reached out for Katelynn, wanting to reassure her that he wasn’t laughing at her.
Finally, with Katelynn beside him on the couch again, he managed to calm down. “You’re good at this.” His arm slid around her waist, and a hot blush appeared in his own cheeks. “… M-maybe this makes me sound like a pig, but I’m glad we didn’t wait until we were wed.” He hugged her a little, still nervous to be talking about this. “I mean, I w-would have waited as long as you needed. I mean it. I already loved you so much back then. But, well …” Oh, he couldn’t put it into words.

Thinking about it, though, was going to make it hard for Jack to pay attention to the rest of movie.
“Yes!” She bounced happily, glad he had read her mind in a sense. ‘Summer Nights’ was one of the first songs and she wondered if Jack would play Danny’s role while she did Sandy’s.
Watching the opening sequence of the movie, she saw the two of them playing on the beach and before their goodbye.
“Oh,” she began her lines, trying not to giggle. “I think you have some seaweed stuck in your teeth.” But she couldn’t stop herself and broke out into laughter.
Jack’s shoulders trembled as he tried not to laugh as well. Watching the movie with the sound off, without the romantic music, it did look somewhat silly.
“N-never!” he chuckled, trying to imitate Danny as Sandy chased him with a beach towel. “You’ll never use that on my hair! You’ll never take me alive!”
The two of them traded a few more lines, and then Jack was silent as the animated opening titles began.

I mean it. I already loved you so much back then. But, well …” Oh, he couldn’t put it into words.
Jack chuckled nervously from the kitchen, where he was setting the water to boil. “Actually, I’ve only seen it once. A few years ago …” You could almost hear him blush from the kitchen. “I’ve never been to a normal high school. I’d heard about this movie, and thought I might take a look, so I picked up a copy.”
He returned soon, carrying a smaller tray with two steaming mugs and the makings of tea. “It didn’t exactly answer my questions, but the music’s good. I wouldn’t mind seeing it again.”
“I don’t think musicals are proper portrayals of real life, love.” She giggled but kissed his cheek when he was close enough. Scooting over to the DVD player, she popped it in and got it ready for the two of them to watch. “But then again this one takes place in the 50s so we wouldn’t really know but real life never really breaks out into song and dance. Though it would be fun!”
Sitting back with him, she smiled and began to cut the cake while he prepared the tea, making sure to keep the television muted. “Do you want to improvise the dialogue and I can unmute it for the songs or do you want to try to come up with lyrics too?” she questioned, knowing either way it would be fun
“Heh, I don’t know about that,” he replied, smiling as she kissed him. “Some people would probably miss the rehearsals, and they’d be stuck just standing there while everyone else sang around them. That would be awkward.”
He settled in beside her, preparing tea for both of them; they’d lived together for long enough that he remembered how she usually liked hers. “Mmm, let’s leave it unmuted for the songs. The music was my favorite part of the movie. We can still have fun just singing along, can’t we?”
“Yes!” She bounced happily, glad he had read her mind in a sense. ‘Summer Nights’ was one of the first songs and she wondered if Jack would play Danny’s role while she did Sandy’s.
