*emerges from backstage after sifting through the racks of costumes*

*holds up two very thin satin minidresses, one red, one black*

Rosie, thank you dearly for wanting to be one of my dance partners -- you get to choose which one you want to wear. *grins*

Anyone else want to be Partner Number Two? Hmmm? I'll be wearing fitted trousers, if that's any incentive.

Oh Maestra, I've got the lyrics on paper, but the music is still in my head and I've no way of extracting it without your assistance. *smiles ingratiatingly with a coy tilt of his head*

Oh I'll take the red one. *smooches Herman on the cheek*

I'm glad things are better between you and the Emcee.

So am I...

[klaviermusik.livejournal.com]

Ah, yes! My apologies for not aiding you sooner. *smiles* Let me get my notebook....

[funny-herman.livejournal.com]

*grins* Oh, no need to apologize. I was actually quite hesitant to even bring it up, but now that I have, well- I can't stop myself.

Right! Here are the lyrics. *spreads out a sheet of verses with various breaks and annotations* It's a kind of- well, it should have a- striptease feel to it. I'll sing it for you so you can work off the melody. Very punchy chords, loud brass, a kind of swinging, macho bravado. *notes your reaction* I know what you're thinking...this is not me at all. *laughs* But I've got to try it...you know?

[klaviermusik.livejournal.com]

*can't hold back a chuckle* Certainly! It is always good to try new things. *winks*

*heart flutters a little at the wink*

Thank you so much for your help. Let's get to work, shall we? *smiles with one corner of his mouth*

Extracting? You make it sound as if you have a sweet tooth gone bad, Herman.

*returns the dry smile* There you go again, twisting my words. As a matter of fact, it has gone bad- but in a good way. *utters a devious little chuckle*

*quietly peers in from outside* Did I hear something about dresses?

*holds up the black minidress towards Helga, but then snatches it away out of reach*

Only if you'll be my dance partner. *grins slyly*

[little-helga.livejournal.com]

*leaps forward and tries to grab for it, but is too short* I want to dance!

[funny-herman.livejournal.com]

Oh, very well, then. *hands Helga the dress and smiles* Thank you, mein Lieb, I knew I could count on you.

[little-helga.livejournal.com]

*kisses cheek* Always.
