Elise: No, that won't be any fun either. I wonder what I'm missing...
(Elise leaves)
Laslow: And one! And two! And pirouette!
(Laslow leaves)
Elise: Laslow? What's he doing?
(Elise leaves)
Laslow: And three! And four! And plié!
Elise: Hey, Laslow! Whatcha up to?
Laslow: GAAAAH! L-Lady Elise?!
Elise: What's with all this "one-two-fancyword" stuff? Are you trying to come up with a new game too?
Laslow: A new game? No, I'm not playing around.
Elise: Huh? Then why are you spinning around out here all by yourself?
Laslow: I was practicing my dancing. It's... something I'd rather keep a secret. Would you do that for me?
Elise: Yeah, sure! Dancing, you say... Oh! That's it! That's what it's missing!
Laslow: Lady Elise?
Elise: Thanks, Laslow! You're a lifesaver!
Laslow: I'm...not exactly sure what I did, but you're welcome all the same. Say, perhaps our meeting here today was destiny... How about, to celebrate, the two of us go get a cup of tea and—
Elise: Sorry, Laslow, I'm too busy. Bye!
(Elise leaves)
Laslow: Huh. I wonder what that was all about...

Elise: Heya, Laslow! Thanks for coming!
Laslow: Of course. What do you require of me, milady?
Elise: So, I've been trying to come up with a new game everyone can play together. But it was missing something... Then I saw you dancing, and it hit me! What my game needed was some of that shimmy-shake stuff to spice it up! You see where I'm going with this, right?
Laslow: Not really, no.
Elise: Do I have to spell it out for you? I want to add your dance moves to my game! See, I'm coming up with a superspecial version of tag. But instead of running, you have to dance while you chase people! So! I need you to teach me how to dance.
Laslow: ...I see.
Elise: So what are you waiting for? Go on and get to teaching, Teach!
Laslow: I'm afraid my style of dancing really isn't worth teaching you, milady. I'm mostly self-taught. My style lacks the formality suited to one of your station.
Elise: I don't mind! In fact, that's exactly the sort of thing I want! I want it to be fun, not all stuffy and courtly.
Laslow: Oh? Then I would be honored to show you my moves. Let's begin with some footwork.

Laslow: So that about covers the basic steps. Give it a try.
Elise: Um...like this?
Laslow: Hmm. Not quite. More like this.
Elise: Ohhhhh... So like this?
Laslow: No, still not quite...
Elise: Aw. I give up! I was never any good at dancing anyway.
Laslow: Huh?
Elise: Besides, I don't need to actually dance myself. I can just be the referee. You can be in charge of all the dancing! You don't mind teaching everyone, right?
Laslow: What?! You want me to be a part of the game now?
Elise: Yep!
Laslow: I don't know... I think I'd be too embarrassed...
Elise: Aw, don't say that. You've got to do it! For everyone! Think of it as a privilege!
Laslow: OK, I suppose. For you, I'll give it a shot...

Elise: Woohoo! Our test run went perfectly. "Love Tag" is ready for showtime!
Laslow: "Love Tag"?! Pardon me, Lady Elise, but exactly what kind of game is this? I thought it was just like normal tag, but with dancing...
Elise: Oh, silly you! You still have so much to learn. Dancing and chasing is just for kids! My game needed some more spice. The point of the game isn't really just to tag someone. It's to show off your skills!
Laslow: But my dances are for art! They're not meant to be...enticing. Not like that!
Elise: Oh? This coming from the guy who spends half his waking hours chasing girls? What's wrong with encouraging a little romance around here? This little game of mine will have couples popping up all over the army! It'll make everyone happier! Plus, we'll all fight harder if it's for someone we love!
Laslow: I guess that's a good point. Sort of.
Elise: It really is!
Laslow: *sigh* You certainly have some odd ideas. Though I guess war is as good a time as any to find love. Isn't that right, milady?
Elise: Yup! I'm just glad I finally figured out how to make the game work. I had a lot of trouble thinking of something romantic. I don't know many boys... But you hang out with girls all the time! And you dance! So that must be the key. Anyway, c'mon! We should go tell everyone about our new game!
Laslow: Er, just a moment. This game is supposed to help people attract partners, correct? If so, I should warn you... I'm not very successful on that front.
Elise: What?!
Laslow: In fact, if anything, most women seem to dislike me...
Elise: Haha! You kidder! I see you talking with beautiful women all the time.
Laslow: Well, yes, but that's because I go up to them. They don't usually respond well...
Elise: What?! But our game—
Laslow: Yes. There's a teensy-weensy chance everyone will be repulsed by each other.
Elise: Awww... And here I thought my idea was finally perfect.
Laslow: Apologies, milady. I would have said something sooner had I known. Though I must admit, I'm relieved I don't need to teach everyone to dance now.
Elise: What? You're not getting off that easy! We're sticking to the plan!
Laslow: We are? But why?
Elise: Well, we've come this far! No sense in giving up without trying, right? Besides, I don't think it's your dance moves that the girls hate. It's probably just your personality!
Laslow: ...

Elise: Laslow! The game was a huge hit! And it's all thanks to you!
Laslow: It went well, didn't it?
Elise: You were perfect! Everyone told me they were having the best time!
Laslow: I'm glad...but it was a little embarrassing for me.
Elise: Why? You were the best dancer-tagger out there.
Laslow: Well, everyone there already seemed to have eyes for someone else! I was one of the only ones dancing who left without a date.
Elise: Yeah, true. I see how that would be embarrassing. But don't feel bad! I think it's just because you were helping me run the game. I mean, I was the referee, so I didn't get a date either. Though I guess I wasn't dancing like you...
Laslow: Would you play Love Tag with me if you knew how to dance?
Elise: Of course!
Laslow: Truly? Cross your heart?
Elise: Of course! Why are you making it sound like such a big— Wait. Laslow...you don't mean...
Laslow: I do. I would be very much honored if you would accompany me on a date, milady. I am...quite fond of you.
Elise: Since when? I had no idea! What do you like about me anyway?! I'm not all that mature...and I don't have a figure like Camilla's...
Laslow: Please, you needn't compare yourself to your sister. You're your own woman. And you have a kind, generous heart. You work so hard just to make others happy. Just think of all the effort you put into making that game for everyone!
Elise: You really think all those nice things about me? That's the sweetest thing anyone's ever said to me!
Laslow: I'm glad to hear it. But I'm not saying it just to flatter you. It's true.
Elise: I guess it's my turn, huh? I like you too, Laslow. In fact, every time I see you dance, I can't help but think you're amazing. You're so talented! And of all the people playing Love Tag, you were the best.
Laslow: Milady...
Elise: So I guess this means we both like each other! Whoa!
Laslow: I suppose it does. It seems Love Tag was a resounding success.
Elise: Totally! But don't think this means you don't have to teach me how to dance! I promise not to give up this time!
Laslow: Whatever you want, my love.
