Magic - On Hold

Abundant

"What are you doing?" Dean spoke up after watching for a full minute.

Calliope frowned as she didn't stop moving. "I found an application on my computer. I signed up like the Apple Shop man showed me and I love it. I've been on it all morning but I've noticed that most of the humans dance. But it is hard to replicate."

"What?" He had to hear that again. "Stop- doing that. Come here."

She stopped dancing and came to him.

"You have to be careful on the Internet."

"Why?"

He blushed.

"Dean, I know about pornography."

"How?!" His flush worsened.

"Nothing is new under the sun."

"I don't want to know. But it's more than just porn on the Internet and not all porn is fun."

"You mean like the human centipede?"

He almost died. "Calli?!"

"I see things, Dean!"

"But that?!"

"It wasn't voluntary." She admitted.

"I'm not asking questions." He couldn't handle anything else. "Which app are you on?"

"You said you were not asking questions." She frowned.

"Just this one."

"The Tik and the Tok."

It took him two seconds to understand what she was saying. "You're on Tik Tok?"

"Yes."

"Why?!" He was appalled.

"You're asking more questions." She accused.

"Okay, I have a few questions."

She giggled. "What are they?"

"Why are you on Tik Tok?"

"It is great!" Her eyes widened in happiness. "I'm learning so much about human culture!"

He was afraid of that. "Can I see who you're following?"

She nodded and brought her computer to him.

He scrolled through and had to admit; it wasn't as bad as he thought it'd be. He even liked the majority of the people she followed. Obviously she went with people with talent. "So you want to do Tik Tok dances?"

"Is that what it is?"

"Yeah."

"Then yes. Can you help me?"

Crying was heard.

"I'll bring Di in here and I'll help you." Dean promised.

Calliope glowed.

Dean kept his word. After changing Dianna's diaper, he brought her into his room and set her on the bed. He sat beside her. "Okay. Show me what you have so far."

Calliope grew happy and stood in front of the bed to begin dancing.

Dean saw right away why she was messing up. "You're too fluid."

"Fluid?" She stopped moving.

"Yeah. I've only seen a couple videos but these dances are stiff. You've got to tighten up."

She had no clue how to do that.

"Move like you don't know how."

That made zero sense to her.
