The last dance

When we first met

[Babes, brave yourself. We reached 400 reads! That is insane. So I wasn't going to start this chapter till tomorrow however I had a crazy idea so I needed to write! I'm really sick and it's very late so I'm sorry if this doesn't reflect my best writing. Also, I read something similar to this in a fan fic that wasn't Anne with an e a long time ago but I can't remember the name of the story otherwise I would give credit. Let the story begin]⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Anne was perfectly happy dancing with Gilbert, even if they still needed to have a series conversation, being in his arms reminded her that everything would be alright. She was content until she heard a loud yell from the other side of the classroom. Billy and Josie didn't move as gracefully and were very annoyed, they both wanted all the attention to be on them.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The one thing Billy could use was his strength.
Josie was rather light in comparison to other girls, lifting her wouldn't be a challenge, he was right it wouldn't. They had succeeded, everyone's eyes fell on there's, large impressive lifts caught everyone's attention, besides Anne and Gilbert's, they were caught in there own world.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
However, Josie decided that a simple lifer was elegant enough, she needed more. With the best lift she lifted her legs, her leg had bashed into ruby, knocking her on the floor. Ruby screamed dramatically. Everyone rushed over to her, while she was alright, Miss Stacy decided that today's lesson was over and the children should be released early. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
A loud sudden boom hit against the door. Diana along with Anne jumped in fright, sweetly consoled by their dance partners they calmed down. Again, a bang against the door. Suddenly it was open. Jerry bursted through. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
"Anne, Mathew and Marilla sent me to fetch you before the frost!" Said Jerry, a worried expression on his face. When the doers had opened a considerable amount of heat had left. It was freezing in the schoolhouse. Miss Stacy went to close the door before all the warmth had cleared the classroom. "I'm afraid you might be to late." Said Diana noticing the frost reform behind the door. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It was the worst end of winter avonlea had ever seen. Every student hurried by the furnace hopping to keep warm while Miss Stacy sorted things out. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Within a few moments a startling knock pounded on the door. A tall slender man opened it forcefully, leaving all the children in fear. He shared a few words with Miss Stacy. Then he left mysteriously. Miss Stacy Dodd led her way back to the children who all looked up with curiosity. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
"Word is being sent to your parents, however you'll all have to stay hear inside until the storm breaks." Her words sent off panic through the classroom, everyone knew the storm was bad but they never imagined this. With each word Anne could feel the temperature drop, she was already wearing her coat. She shivered frantically, over stress and a general cold that circled the classroom. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Gilbert could hear Anne's teeth clank together, the vibrations her body sent off were visible throughout the classroom. Without any verbal communication Anne and Diana slowly scooted towards each other, subconsciously Charlie and Diana switched places. They grasped arms and held onto each other for dear life. They might have been a bit over dramatic. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Ruby sat in between Tillie and Moody, shivering uncontrollably. She wanted more than life to sit with Anne and Diana, however she feared that, that may never happen again.  Jerry realized it was much to dangerous to trail back to the city, he didn't even dare go back to green gables, he simply joined Josie by the fire, shooting a nasty look at Ruby. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The group inched closer to the furnace, keeping warm until it had re-heated the room well. With Diana on Anne's right side and Gilbert on her left, she didn't mind the cold much, a rush on warm blood streamed through her body, finally reaching her cheeks, leaving them a plump red, luckily she could blame it on the cold. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
"You are all awfully quiet. I know it's a bit of a shock but think of it as one large Slumber party. Is something wrong? Besides the cold." She queried. All of the students faded into a memory of that night few weeks ago. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Gilbert clenched his jaw from habit and slowly but surly scooted closer to Anne. Anne was suddenly enraged a second time and pushed him back, clearly seen by Miss Stacy. Ruby starred anxiously in her lap, tears streaming down her face, silently. Ordinarily she would turn to Josie but that wasn't an option either. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
"How about this, lets everyone make a circle to the side of the furnace so we can see each other clearly and let's tell stories." Suggested Miss Stacy to lift spirits. Everyone in Anne's book club was ecstatic. Most people's eyes shot to Anne before a statement could be heard from the other side of the circle.  ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
"I've got a story." Interrupted Josie Pye with a cunning expression plastered on her face, accompanied by a devilish smirk. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
"But if we move away from the heater we'll be cold." With those words Miss Stacy sprung to her feet, she ran into the back room followed by Anne and Diana. Gilbert smirked at the sound of Anne's squeals from the other room, something exciting was about to happen he could feel it. A slender girl walked out of the utility closet, her head was Buried in blankets, a stack of 3 rather thick blankets covers her warm smiled. Anne's dress flowed as she took each step, back and forth each time. Before Gilbert realized she was seated next to him, tossing the blankets around the circle.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
A large blanket successfully covered Diana, Anne, Charlie and Gilbert. Anne and Diana looked at each other mischievously, they were both under blankets with boys. However so were all the other girls and Miss Stacy said nothing about it. Josie in particular had snuggled in with Jerry. Jerry didn't stop her, but he didn't enjoy it either. He gazed at Ruby romantically. 'No Jerry, you can't. Stop it.' He demanded of himself. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
"Josie, you had a story." Questioned Miss Stacy. Josie looked up, weary eyed. She had forgotten her story completely and wasn't in any mood to leave her comforting position snuggled between Jerry and Jane. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
"I have a story." Anne stated proudly, everyone in the Anne Clan nodded cheerfully. Her story's always brightened I mood. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
[I saw "Anne clan" in something else and thought it was funny so credit to them] ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Gilbert and Diana slides to the side to provide more room for Anne's extravagant story telling, even though Gilbert didn't want to. The room warmed as Anne began to tell her story. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
"This is a tragical romance, when a tall mysterious man met a proud woman in a frightful situation." All the girls dreamed of theirselves in the situation happily. Even Miss Stacy was quite entertained with the story. A charming smile slid onto Gilbert's face, he starred at the ground trying not to attract any attention. Anne was telling the story of how she met Gilbert. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
"Cordelia, a beautiful young maiden was in the forest early morning, she was prancing through the tree's and speaking to the woodland animals. However, before she could make it back to the castle she was stopped by a warlock." Shivers were sent through the classroom. "please tell me the handsome man saves her." Pleaded Tillie. "Just wait." Anne suggested. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
She was now seated in the middle of the circle, Gilbert still blushing. Anne was oblivious to the story she was telling, she thought she was making it up in her mind. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
"The wicked warlock threatened her life, she was terribly frightened. However, without a moment to spare a tall raven haired prince ran into the forest, sword in hand." Her dramatic speech caught everyone's attention. "He saved her. However I'm sure if he didn't she could've come up with an intelligent way to save herself." A small laugh erupted from Gilbert he couldn't help it. Anne looked back at him agitated. Her eyes narrowed as he raised his hand.  ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
"I think I can finish the story." He suggested. Everyone starred at the two confused. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
"How could you finish my story?" Anne asked sneakily. She detested anyone who Interrupted her her story telling. "Something tells me I know how it goes." Anne starred at him with a blank expression plastered on her face. He slowly leaned forward and began to finish. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
"Well, Cordelia ran away from her knight in shinning armor, once she had finally arrived at the castle she realized he was still behind her. Once they both entered she found out that he was actually the prince." He nodded. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
"How did you know that?" She mumbled under her breath. "Lucky guess." He said with a boyish smiled and slid back into his seat. "No it wasn't he was there!" Stated Billy now seated on his knees. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
"He was in my story, that I made up, in the 1300." Asked Anne sarcastically. Gilbert shot a deathly stare at Billy, trying to save Anne from any embarrassment. Billy didn't care, Miss Stacy was in the room and he felt protected with his rally of goons. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
"That was the story of how you and Gilbert met. I was in the forest telling you not to hurt my sister then Gilbert came and I decided to go to school." Billy said with pride and a side of ignorance. Anne sat dumbfounded. She tried to recall the events of the morning so long ago. She starred at Diana looking for help. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
"That's how Gilbert new everything." He said again. Josie mocked Anne in the corner before Jerry scorned her momentarily. Diana subtly pulled Anne back in between her and Gilbert. Blythe tugged her arm slightly and she slid a little closer to him. Ordinarily she wouldn't have but she was to confused for any witty remarks at this point. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

[This chapter was really poorly written but I think it adds something interesting to the story and helps the plot A lot! We love cute shirbert moments]
