[ Once again, JJ is stunned. Why would anything think he has no reason to be confident? Obviously, Percy's been living—
Oh yeah, he's a nobody here, just like everyone else. ]
It's not blind or empty. I never told you, but I was very successful back on Earth before it was destroyed. [ And even if that doesn't matter now... ] And I plan to get back to that life here! Success starts with the right attitude, you know. No one's going to believe in you if you don't believe in yourself.
[ A new song plays, and this one is much more forgiving to a more casual, lighthearted style that doesn't require a lead, so they can stop fighting over whose dick is bigger.
At some point, the effects of the glitter will wear off, but at the moment, he's still here, feet moving in a more upbeat tempo. ]
Is that so? What sort of success are you referring to? You're right in having the right attitude being a good start, but you need competence to back up your ego, as well.
All kinds of success. [ Why would Percy ask this, JJ's just going to preen. ] I've won international competitions in skating using programs that I choreographed and wrote music for myself. Oh, and of course, there's the fact that I design my own...
[ He's going to ramble a little. You know, skating, music, fashion, etc. Talk about his loving and supportive relationship with Isabella, being an excellent student.
Needless to stay, Percy probably regrets asking. ]
And I'm going to get back to that here. Starting with opening up my own ice rink! [ It's incredible that JJ can talk about himself so much and focus on dancing at the same time. ] Can you ice skate?
[ Eventually, Percival's eyes probably glaze over. He's more than likely gone to his happy place, and it's a miracle he doesn't cut off JJ somewhere. ]
So you're a famous athlete. It would make sense, then, why you're not half-bad at dancing.
[ Is he done yet? Even if he's not done, Percival will continue. ]
I know the basics, but I surely wouldn't be able to keep up with a professional.
[ It's not so much a compliment as it is a fact, but JJ takes it as one nonetheless, straightening up his shoulders and holding his chin slightly higher. The music eases them into a leisurely spin, and JJ's hold on Percival becomes more and more an embrace than properly dancing form.
Until, eventually, he just has an arm slung over Percival's shoulders. ]
You're great, Percival. Why don't we drink? [ He likes to think he can lead Percival around, a hand on his back to guide them both toward the bar to pick up some drinks. ] I hope I get drunk enough to forget a lot of the night, but I'll definitely remember what a good friend you are.

[ Follow for me after school special lessons. ]

Still, I would support your business.
