Music and Magic

He couldn't help but blush a bit as they walked and talked, Lycia's smile seemed extra pretty tonight. "Yes of course," he'd say when she asked him to describe things, "you won't have to worry about that." It was going to be a special show, something he'd picked out especially for tonight.

They arrived at the building, he'd stop briefly at the doors to hand over their tickets before leading Lycia in. He'd describe the hall to her, how it was pretty, but simple. He'd find them their seats, with servers appearing to offer them both food. Soon they were settled in nicely.

"The show should be starting soon," he'd say, quickly checking the time on his phone and shutting it off. The musicians began to appear on stage with their instruments, with him describing them to her.

Then it began. The music start slow, lovely music, the magic reaching out to their minds to show them the first images. They'd be show a balk room and dancing colors, the colors at times forming into colors. All moving in sync with the music. It was a form of hallucination, but quite harmless.

He'd scoot a bit close to her, just in case she got scared. "Do you see?" he'd ask, both happy and nervous.

He'd smile when he heard her words, blush as she leaned on him, he'd give her hand a gentle squeeze. Very few things in his life had ever felt right, this was one of those few things. "It is beautiful," he'd say, watching the colors shift into various shapes, all in sync of the music, "but uh....you're more beautiful," he'd say in a moment of courage.

The colors then took a new shape, one that was vaguely of people in a ball room. They danced, twirled about as the music continued. "They're dancing," he'd say to her, the music picking up the pace and the glowing figures doing the same.

People around them gasped at the beautiful sights and sounds, the music and images working in perfect sync. Zeke was still new to magic, things like this still amazed him, and watching them with Lycia made it that much special.

Soon the figures grew wings, their dance moving to what looked like a multicolored sky. A sun of lavender appeared to greet the winged beings, shinning down onto the viewers as well. Then it seemingly started to rain around them, the drops like glass, with the light of the lavender sun shinning through. They could feel any of it, but it was an amazing sight to behold.

He blushed, returning the hug, accepting the piece of shrimp with a chuckle. She'd accidentally pushed it onto his cheek at first, but he didn't mind, the night was going amazingly.

Then he heard her heart filled words, saw her start to tear up. "It's why I wanted to show you," he'd scoot a bit closer, his arm slowly wrapping around her shoulders, "it seemed like something good and special, so I wanted to share it with you." It wasn't just because of his crush on her, but because of her being such a sweet, kind girl.

The angel-like beings of light floated back down, the dancing figures floating around the audience. The glowing droplets began to swirl as if the wind had picked them up. The lavender sun's rays began to change color, adding to the beauty and spectacle of it all. The swirling droplets started to come together, forming forming fountains that floated upward.

"Your first Valentines Day, so I wanted it to be special for you," he'd say, his face growing redder as he talked. He'd never dated before, but doing something nice for the girl he liked, it felt right.

Zeke would smile when she leaned into him, cuddling with a girl on a date, another first, and definitely a good one. He'd chuckle just a little when her stomach growled, helping her find her plate and fork, and grabbing a bite of his own food.

The beings of light ceased their dance and began to line of in front of the audience. The water faded, as did the rays from the lavender sun. The beings bowed as the music came to an end, and in a flash of brilliant colors it all vanished. An announcer arrived into the stage, saying that there'd be another show shortly, and that they were giving everyone some time to chat and eat.

Turning to Lycia he'd smile, she course it, but she made him smile quite a bit. Glancing down at the show plan they'd all be given he'd quickly read what was coming next. "So, after we eat they're going to remove all the tables and stuff, make room so we can dance with the lights," he'd take a quick sip of his drink, "I'm really enjoying this, thank you for coming with me."

He'd eat a bit of his food, chuckling and wiping at his cheak, having remembered the small mess that was there. "I was a little nervous about tonight, but it's going amazingly."
