[ The smile that he helped bring about is a great reward to him, and in his own excitement, he doesn't hear the song end and another, more fast-paced song begin, although it's still slow in comparison to the dancing.

It is then that Dave takes the initiative to move differently from the pattern, creating a more impromptu step for the dance. It's similar enough that Rose should be able to catch on quickly, but it's enough of a difference that it can be called its own step. ]

[she catches on, although don't think she didn't see that little blip as he forgot the song changed. when he deviates from what they've been doing, however, she decides that this is the all clear sign to try some new stuff.

you know, new stuff like leading.]

[ The problem with Rose leading is that Rose is going to go faster than Dave can probably go without using his powers -- but that was never really a problem in the first place. He lets her lead, but don't think that it's because he's conceding because he's not; every so often, even while she's leading, he'll pull her away to new little "blips" of his own. ]

[she doesn't particularly mind that, even if her steps are an attempt to curb those little anomalies. the dance is a competition now, a game of who can go faster and lead longer. Rose loves that kind of thing.]
