shoe back on and covered his open mouth with a hand
in mock surprise.  “It fits!”  Cinderella rolled her eyes at him and the two
laughed again as he pulled her back to her feet.
    “I’ll
catch ya later,” he said, kissing her on the cheek.  Then almost immediately he
looked surprised at himself and apologized.  “Sorry,” he said, seeming
embarrassed.  Cinderella brushed it off with a wave of her hand before Scott took
off again into the crowd.  Cinderella stood against the wall for several
minutes without moving, a hand on her cheek where he had kissed her.  For the
first time in her life, she was glad she had lost a shoe.

Chapter
Nine
    Cinderella
was asked to dance by two boys she didn’t know before Dave finally found her
again.  The first one was a pretty good dancer, but he wasn’t a great leader. 
He barely moved Cinderella’s hand in the direction he wanted her to go, unlike
Scott and his friends who pulled her in such a way that she had no choice but
to follow.  Then the second guy couldn’t dance at all!  Cinderella wished she
was back in her heavy duty boots after he stomped on her right foot for the
seventh time.  Dave came up behind Cinderella at the end of the song, causing
her to jump in the air and land painfully on his shoe.
    “Now
I know how you feel!” he said, hopping on one foot and pointing his chin in the
direction of her last partner.
    “Sorry,”
Cinderella said.  Then hugging him, “But I am so glad to see you!”  Dave
grinned.
    “Miss
me that much?”
    Cinderella
flushed pink.  “I just don’t like dancing with people I don’t know.”
    “You
could always tell them no, ya know.”
    “I…I
can’t,” she stammered.
    “Why’s
that?”
    “I
don’t want to be mean.”
    Dave
laughed.  “You’re too nice,” he said.  Then putting his arm around her, “But I
guess that’s what I like about ya.”  He gave her a sideways hug.
    “May
I have this dance?” he asked, spinning her out of the hug and then twirling her
under his raised arm.
    “I
think you already started,” she giggled.  Dave wasn’t as fast as his brother,
but he definitely had the same dancing skills.  He twirled and spun and dipped
Cinderella until she was out of breath.
    “So
how did you learn to dance like that?” she asked as they headed toward some
open seats.
    “Scott
taught me.”
    “I
thought you weren’t old enough to be in this club until recently.” she asked,
nudging him with her shoulder.  “Didn’t you just barely turn sixteen?”
    “Oh
I wasn’t old enough,” he said.  “But Troy was, and so was Chad, Aaron, Ben, Brad…” Dave listed each name off on his fingers.
    “Guys! 
There you are!”  Jenny and her roommate ran up to them.  “It’s almost midnight
and there’s a full moon tonight!”
    “Awesome!”
Dave jumped up to join them but Cinderella moved more slowly.
    “What’s
going on?” she asked.
    “We’ll
explain on the way!” Dave said, grabbing her by the hand and running for the
exit.
    Jenny’s
roommate, Melissa, took the front seat while Dave squished in the back with
Cinderella and Jenny.
    Cinderella
sat in the middle between Dave and Jenny.  Dave explained the long story while
Jenny occasionally filled in missed information.
    “I
don’t even know how far back the tradition goes,” he started.
    “1916.”
    “Ok,
so clear back since 1916 every time there is a full moon, kids gather around
the ‘ A’ at midnight.”
    “Tell
her what the ‘ A’ is.”
    “I’m
getting there!  The ‘ A’ is a large blue square block of cement with four
white A’s .  One on each side, to hold it up.  It stands a few feet above
the ground and kids stand on it to become a ‘True Aggie’.”
    “Aggies
are the USU mascot.”
    “Right. 
So a guy and a girl stand on the ‘A’ on a full moon at midnight and
kiss.  This makes them a ‘True Aggie’.”
    “It’s
all about saying you’ve done it.  Once you’re a ‘True Aggie’,
