bastian: gawd, where is she?
his nerves were slowly eating away at his insides. ben's nattering wasn't any
help...
ben: oh c'mon, her family's hosting this thing... she'll turn up...

ben: look! isn't that her?

bastian looked up and saw sophia come towards him. she was dressed in a kimono sewn from a floral pink print and it
seemed to just flow from her. bastian's lips became dry as he looked at her beauty...

sophia: hey bastian! you look great! this is my sister and my brother in law...

navy haired man: hello, i'm alvor-fey and this is my wife...
narcissica: oh please, "the wife" makes me sound
old! i'm narcissica but people just call me cissy...
bastian: um okay...
alvor: make sure you look after 'phia.

sophia: oh alvor! i can take care of myself.
alvor: but still...anyways, i'll leave you crazy kids by yourselves...

sophia: erm...

ben: well, guess i'm the third wheel. i'm gonna see if there any hawt faeren girls around.

bastian and sophia stared at each other for a few fleeting moments...

sophia: well...wanna dance?
bastian looked at her with abject horror. the mere thought frightened him...
bastian:
i ...i...don't know how to...

sophia giggled....
sophia: i guess that makes the both of us...
