Once previously, the King of the Goblins had dispelled the Labyrinth and opened his castle to the inhabitants of his new Underground. It had been a highly amusing and successful occasion, and though he'd gotten bored of most of the people who had been there at that time, there where still a few that would remember. That was okay, though. It would put them off guard. They would assume they knew what was going to happen, but there was no way any of them could be prepared for what he had planned.

With satisfaction, the King looked around the room. It was done up to look like a haunted castle, with spider webs hanging everywhere, low, spooky, dim lighting, the whole nine yards. Several large black cats wandered around, ready to pounce playfully on the unwary passerby, and there were any number of nooks and crannies, dark and scary, with all sorts of places for things to be hiding. The atmosphere was very Halloween, in the way that only the King of Illusions could really pull off, or so he flattered himself.

But that wasn't even close to all he had planned. Each and every person, as they entered the enormous hall, would find a change had come over them. They would all begin to change. Costumes, he figured, where all very well and good, but wouldn't it be so much more entertaining if they became the very thing they dressed as? He thought so. So, with everything in place, draped artisically over his stone throne, he waited for his 'guests' to arrive...

Faith, or as she now thought of herself, Candi, was brought out of her cheering about the cake by someone talking to her. But it wasn't just anyone. As a cheerleader, she remembered having many guys interested in her, but this guy was different than any of the high school boys she'd met. Her jaw literally dropped open as she looked at the dashing man, and then her eyes began to sparkle. She'd already been having a good time at the ball, but things were looking like they were about to get even more fun.

"Like, oh my God. Of course we totally can dance!" All trances of a Boston accent had faded from her voice. She was every inch the valley girl now, down to the tiniest inflection of her words. Grinning at him, her eyes lit up with delight, she actually giggled in a way that had never been heard on those lips before, and fixed her hair to make sure it looked alright.

"I hope you're, like, a good leader or whatever. Cause I don't really, like, know fancy dancing, you know? Just cheering." For him, though, she'd try. He really was dreamy, she decided. Glancing quickly around the room, she saw nothing else as interesting as this guy. So she giggled again and took his offered hand in hers, practically sparkling at him with good cheer.

Behind his mask, Zorro raised a single eyebrow at the young lady's strange speech. But she was enthusiastic at least. He gently put her hand on his shoulder, and slipped a hand around her waist.

"Dancing is easy" he said, taking her other hand in his. "Just follow my lead"

He was a very talented dancer, and as long as his partner had any grace whatsoever, should be able to make up for her lack of skill. "See?" He asked as they danced. "It is not that hard. May I inquire after your name?

With another one of her giggles, Candi allowed him to take the lead. He danced just as well as she'd assumed he would, and she found herself gazing up into his eyes, at least, as well as she could through the mask he wore. She rested her hand lightly on his shoulder, where he'd placed it, and moved easily enough with the music.

"...Okay..." She breathed, slightly lost in his gaze, in the effortless way he moved her through the dance. She would definitely have no problem following his lead.

As a Slayer, Faith had excellent reflexes and grace. Though she had changed, those basic physical things hadn't. So she picked the dance up easily, and beamed, pleased with herself. "This is easy!" She looked into his eyes once more, having glanced down at her feet to make sure she didn't trip over them, and giggled once more. "I'm Candi, who are you?"
