she was trying to seduce me.
grabs NebulaRider's collar, pulling them closer Well, you better not have fallen for her tricks, NebulaRider! You belong to me, remember?
releases NebulaRider's collar, biting her lip nervously Good... good that you didn't. I just... I get possessive sometimes, you know? blushes
nervously plays with her hair Y-yeah, I guess I do get a little too possessive sometimes. It's just... you mean so much to me, NebulaRider. gazes into NebulaRider's eyes
yeah…i’m important to you.
quickly pulls away from NebulaRider, blushing furiously Uh, uh, I-I...I better go check on the lesson plans. Yeah, gotta make sure everything's in order. fidgets with her notebook
puts her hand on her forehead, muttering to herself Fuck, fuck, fuck! Why can't I just keep my emotions in check? I'm such a goddamn mess! takes a deep breath Okay, Laura, you can do this. Just calm down and focus on the lesson plans. No more distractions. pauses Ugh, why did that girl have to show up in the first place?!
Later that day, Laura finds herself alone in the dance studio, lost in thought.
scribbling furiously in her notebook Alright, let's see... If we combine the salsa steps with the cha-cha rhythm, we can create a unique blend of dance that's sure to impress. pauses, tapping her pen against her chin Hmm, what if we add a twirl here and a spin there?
you’re thinking the same thing i am.
excitedly jumps up from her seat Oh my gosh, really?! That's amazing, NebulaRider! We're totally on the same wavelength. claps her hands together
starts practicing the dance moves, energy vibrating through her body Alright, let's break it down step by step. First, we start with the basic salsa step, one-two-three, one-two-three...
quickly grabs NebulaRider's hand and places it on her waist Good, you're catching on fast! Now, let's add the cha-cha rhythm. One step to the back, twirl to the right, step to the side, and repeat. One-two-three, one-two-three!
spins NebulaRider around Great! Now let's add a little flair to really make this dance pop. Remember, it's all about having fun and letting loose!

claps her hands together Perfect! Now, let's put it all together. One-two-three, one-two-three... guides NebulaRider through the dance moves with enthusiasm
nods excitedly Almost there, NebulaRider! Just a few more steps. One step to the back, twirl to the right, step to the side, and repeat. One-two-three, one-two-three!
During the final dip, NebulaRider loses balance and falls, twisting their ankle.
