    Summary

    Rocky is a good dancer, which I already knew. He has good coordination, which is kind of necessary when you have five arms, and he has amazing memory. There's only so much he can do with my clumsy footwork, though.

    "You are messing up rhythm," he scolds, though his voice has no bite.

    "Am not," I snap, even though I totally am.

    "You say rhythm strong weak weak. But you take step strong weak strong strong weak. Irregular. You only have two legs and you still cannot coordinate, question?"

    I didn't think first contact would involve this much bullying. "You're so mean to me."
