"Ya think?" Penny said. She shook her head and said, "I... appreciate it, though. I mean, he's not doing it because he doesn't think I can't protect myself, just because if something did happen to me, he couldn't handle it."

"Is that what he told you?" Nicholas asked, raising an eyebrow.

"Thanks," she said. She looked around at the party, and sighed, wishing that it was a bigger turnout.

Nicholas saw that Penny was starting to look a little down, "Hey," he said, taking her drink, "Do you want to dance?"

"Um, I don't think I should," she said, looking around.

He watched as she looked around, and assumed that she was looking for her boyfriend, his roommate, the one that would 'kill the guy who gave her a paper cut.' "He's not here. I am. C'mon, have some fun. It's just a dance."

Penny bit her lip and looked around again before giving in. "Fine," she said to him in a 'but I won't enjoy it' sort of tone.

"Great," he said, smiling, taking her hand just as 'We are Golden' came on. They walked over towards the fire and Nick started dancing.

Penny started dancing, just a little bit, but the music and the atmosphere of the party soon took hold of her and she got more into the music.
