"Hm?" You motioned her to continue. She then scratched the nape of her neck. "I was wondering if I could bring Eggs to the ball in our mansion tonight," she stated.

You looked at her with a raised brow. "Tonight?" You asked. She nodded. "Yeah. I mean, it's required to have a partner, so the only boy I could think of is Eggs." She explained. You thought for awhile.

"Why are you asking me this, anyway?" You asked. Winnie chuckled nervously. "Well, because he's sort of your younger brother..?"

You looked at her confusingly. Younger brother?

Then, you laughed lightly. "Winnie, Eggs isn't my brother, younger or older." You giggled. "I mean, yeah, I was adopted back then by Mister Trubshaw, we grew up in the same roof, and I'm a year older than him, but hey," You smiled at her. "We're not siblings, step ones or real ones. We're just close friends," You confirmed, making Winnie look down and blush lightly.

"Oh. Sorry," She chuckled. Then, you giggled. "Sure he can come! If he knows how to dance," you giggled again at the thought of Eggs. Winnie smiled brightly. "Oh, he can now! Remember when I brought both of you in the dance when Madam Frou Frou came?" She frowned after the fake name of Snatcher. You chuckled, but in the inside you were saddened, because at that time Winnie and Eggs were having fun, and you were alone.

"Oh yeah, I remember," You laughed. "Alright, I'll convince him for you." You smiled fakely once you said that. Winnie squealed, and hugged you tightly. "Thanks (y/n)! You're the best friend ever!" Then, she ran away excitedly.

You sighed once she's gone,and picked up your bag of fruits.

You reached the boxtrolls' underground home, and you were greeted by Eggs with a big hug.

"Hey Eggs." You smiled at him. He smiled back with his imperfect, crooked teeth that's adorable.

"Hi (f/t)," He greeted, as both of you pulled away in your hug. Then, you thought about earlier. "Hey, Winnie asked me to ask you if you could come to her ball in her mansion tonight," you scratched the back of your head.

"Why would I go there?" He asked you confusingly. You giggled. "To dance, silly. She told me you could dance," Eggs' eyes widened as you said that.

"I can't dance!" He exclaimed. You raised your brow, "Really? How do you explain the time you and Winnie waltz around her house when Snatcher was here?" You asked. Eggs gulped, then blushed.

"W-Winnie forced me to, so I tried to do it," He started. "But right now I can't anymore."

You smiled, "I'l teach you then. We'll practice dancing." You gave your basket of fruits to Shoe, and he gladly took it away.

"We'll what?!" Eggs asked. You chuckled. "C'mon," You pulled his arm, and led him to the 'hiding place' both of you built. Then, you guided him to the platfrom, and rested your right hand against his shoulder and grabbed his right hand with your left hand. He gulped but took your hand in return, placing his left hand on your waist. You slightly blushed, but then you stopped doing so since you don't want Eggs to know.

"(F/t), I dunno about this. And since when did you know how to dance?!" He asked you, as you started to guide him and sway him a bit. "I don't know how to Eggs," you giggled. "Just imagine a song and start dancing!" You smiled widely. Eggs seem to smile because of you, then he laughed.
