[16th December][A Little Princess] Dance of the Little Swans

Title: Dance of the Little Swans
Day/Theme: 16th December/"This is how we walk on the moon"
Series: A Little Princess
Character/Pairing: Becky/Sara implied
Rating: G/U

“Will you dance with me?” asks Sara, so of course Becky does, her skirt swishing against Sara’s as they move. Becky likes that skirt; it was the first piece of clothing she was given after she left Miss Minchin’s.

 

Sara is careful when she dances with Becky because Becky is so clumsy. She treads on Sara’s feet once, twice, ten times and Sara only leaps higher.

 

It takes weeks for Becky’s steps to become sure, months for her movements to become natural and she never quite loses her worried expression. But Sara laughs and twirls her and Becky is floating.
