In a Dreamy Saloon

   I walked into the small parlor doors. I looked down and I was wearing a beautiful steampunk styled dress. The saloon was filled with the sound of people talking, glasses clinking, and a familiar tune playing in the back.

   I walked up to the bar. "And what can I get for you little missy?" I looked up to see the bartender.

   "Water, if you please, kind sir?" He looked at me and smiled, but not of common courtesy, but as though something was funny.

   "Tsk. Tsk." He sounded when he turned to pour me a glass. "I knew you were trouble the minute you walked in. No, fine little lady like yourself walks in and orders nothin' but water and has the purest of intentions."

   "If you say so, mister." I reply.

   As the bartender walked away, he walked up.

   The man was wearing a top hat, and an overcoat with a collar fitting for his black bowtie.

   "Evening, doll."

   I smiled. "Evening."

   "I heard the bartender. You are trouble, aren't you? All done up, velvety lips, hair all curled and done up, not to mention your dress."

   I shrugged my shoulder and looked at my glass, then took a sip.

   "Never seen one like you." He said.

   "Really? You seem to know quite a lot about who you think I am though. You and that bartender." I said with a smirk.

   He smiled and shook his head. "No there's something special about you, honey sweet."

   I took a large drink from my glass, then looked him in the eyes and went to dance. Something about the tune was so soothing and familiar.

   He followed me out. I grabbed the skirt of my dress and began to jump, swinging it to and fro, to the rythm. I felt a huge smile on my face as I spun around. I felt like I was in another world, like no one was there. Okay maybe tall, dark, and handsome, with his top hat over there was.

   The beat slowed and he pulled me in. "Do you even know what you're doing to me, babe?" He asked.

   "I hope I do." I say.

   "You smile like you don't care. You act like your in a diffrent world, so unaware. Do you know how much I want my destiny to lie with yours?"

   "I did know, then." I said. "Babe."

   He smiled at this. I danced some more after the beat sped up again.

   Then the song was over, and I woke to brown eyes watching me. A huge grin on his face.

   "Morning, doll."
