Hm. The distance I need to bring my fingers at this part is difficult. I wasn't expecting to struggle this much.
…But it's fun. It is a beautiful sound, perfect for dancing on a Halloween night.

Ghost B

|
Eee-hee-hee! Dance with me next!
|
Jack
Jack
|
Sure. I don't mind taking you on!

He kind of makes it sound like he's looking for a sparring partner more than a dance partner, I guess?
|
Deuce
Deuce
|
I can't say I ever thought I'd be dancing with ghosts underneath a mirror ball.
|
Grim

The tables at the edge of the dance floor are filled with food, and everyone dancing is so happy.
Halloween is the best, after all! I wish it could stay like this forever!
|
We've had more than enough Halloween for one year!
|
Ghost A

Oh, just how many hundreds of years has it been since I last laughed like this?
Halloween hasn't been this fun since I was last alive!
The party is still far from over! Let's dance 'til the night's over!

|
Oh, hey, Sea Lion.
If ya don't have a partner, come dance with me. You're good at dancing, ain'tcha?
Least, that's what Lil' Remora told me.
|
Leona
Leona
|
You're kidding me on. When will Ruggie stop running his damn mouth?
Floyd, you've made me go through hell today.
I'm a generous man. I won't nag on and on about what happened today. Just never hang around me again.
|
Ace
Ace
|
Yeah, Floyd! It's cause you went picking fights with the ghosts that—

Leona
Leona
|
Don't you act innocent yourself, Spikehead. You're the one who went mouthing off on your high horse.
|
Ace
Ace
|
What?! If you ask me, I was the one who was made to deal with way too much trouble!
Ugh, man, Deuce and Grim and Yuu all look like they're having so much fun dancing over there…
I was an idiot to actually seriously try and rescue them.
|
Leona
Leona
|
Actually, now that you mention it…
You were pretty serious when you were shouting out about how the End This Halloween Party would never crumble, weren't you?
|
Ace
Ace
|
Huh? D-Did I say something like that?
|
Floyd
Floyd
|
It was hilarious watching you actually use that lame name seriously! Did you get a bit fired up 'cause ya thought we were gonna lose to Sea Slug?
Ahaha. You can get a bit too full of yourself, but you can actually be pretty cute, too, can't you, Lil' Crab?
|
Leona
Leona
|
Heh, I can agree with you on that.
|
Ace
Ace
|
Urgh… Th-There's no way I can hope to ever one-up these guys!

I've never been to such a lively party before. There's so many people, you really have to keep an eye out when you turn.
|
Ortho
Ortho
|
You're so good at dancing, Mr. Riddle Rosehearts!
|
Ruggie
Ruggie
|
Honestly, I thought you were gonna be all, "I will have nothing to do with this pointless act of dancing!"
|
Riddle
Riddle
|
Of course not. Social dancing is part of being a gentleman! Naturally, I have it down perfectly.
Though it appears there is still a lot I have yet to learn. I've become painfully aware of that on the journey here.
In appreciation of you both teaching me so much today…
…allow me to lead you in this dance!
|
Ortho
Ortho
|
Really? I've never done social dancing before!
|
Ruggie
Ruggie
|
Won't lie, this kind of fancy dance where all the steps are in some specific order isn't really my forte.
But once I'm finished eating up all the food around here, I don't mind joining you! Since it's a party and all.
|
Riddle
Riddle
|
Honestly, someone just has to mention food and you go running. What a troublesome boy.
Well, in that case, let us enjoy this dance with the two of us for now, Ortho. Here, let me take your hand.

Okay!
I'm really looking forward to getting back to Night Raven College and hanging out together, but…
…both the journey here and dancing together like this are so much fun. I can almost feel the sparks coming from my circuits!
I'll definitely save this year's Halloween memory in the most secure encrypted folder that I have.
