"Eliza," Jerry said as if tasting the word. "That is a very lovely name." Catalina dipped into a slight curtsey herself. She watched the other man with her dreamy, hazel eyes.

"Thank you." said Eliza giving him a beautiful smile with her rosy red lips.
"Well would you do the honor of dancing with me, Miss Catalina?" Chester asked, hoping to win the young lady over before the night was through.

Catalina looked at him, a little surprised. "I would be honored to," she responded.
Jerry took the hint from Chester and promptly asked," Would you like to dance?"

"Sure." said Eliza, aw struck. As they swirled around the floor, Eliza felt as if she was in a dream, and couldn't help to think to herself why a man like him would dance with her. Sure she expected to be asked to dance by somebody, maybe even a cute guy, but not a guy who was handsome and wealthy to boot!
"So, Miss Catalina, how are you enjoying my party so far?" Chester's father was the owner of this building and owened a considerable amount of property around the town as well. The family buisness had led to such a wealthy up bringing, and some said that they could create money out of thin air. He almost chuckled at the idea.

"You are quite a lovely dancer," Jerry said, flattering Eliza. Maybe these she could help him. Even though he could get all the money he could ever want, some money was better getting it the old fashoined way. Through marraige.
Catalina was surprised when Chester had said 'Miss Catalina'. No one evr called her that. It was always 'Miss Madison' or just 'Catalina'. She smiled softly, liking being called something diferent. "I am enjoying myself so far this evening, but I have just arrived. I'm sure it will be a splendid night." Catalina replied her eyes never leaving his.

"Thankyou." she new it was a lie, but she smiled that he had flattered her so anyways. It was nice to be complemented by someone instead of teased for once. "Do you live around here? I don't believe I've ever seen you before."
"I'm surprised that we have never met before, Miss Catalina, but I have only been to a few of these balls before, I'm afraid. Hopefully I'll have the same good fortune as tonight, and will see you agian at the next ball."

"Oh I travel around a lot," Jerry said. "My buisness often calls me away. We just got back last week." Last week's buisness had been very successful indeed. Maybe this week would prove o be the same.
"I would be honored to see you again. This has been pleasent so far." Catalina replied. She was starting to think that this was the most gentlemanly man she had ever met.
Will walked into the ball and glanced around the room looking for Eliza. He hadn't meant to be late but his younger brother had decided that he wanted to come. He had had to wait for Isaic to get ready before he could leave.

The music stopped then, but was closly followed by a fast pace dance called The Whole in the Wall. The dance was simple, but the fun part was that if you didn't have a partner, you could easily cut in and steal someone elses partner. If you were cut out, you'd have to wate for a chance to steal someone elses partner. It was great fun, but if you didn't know what you were doing it could turn out very confusing. Eliza remembered the shocked look on her partner's face when he got cut out the first time he had played. It was priceless. "Ooh I love this dance. Will you jion me? asked Eliza with a hopeful look.
"Would you like to dance agian, Miss Catalina? I promise, if anyone takes you, i can get you right back agian. I'm an excelent theif." offered Chester.
Isiac walked into the ball and looked around. It was his last night in town before he left with his brother, and he thought that he should finally go to one of these things. This was his first time to go to a ball in two years, and he didn't want to embarrass himself. He saw his brother across the room, who seemed to be looking for someone.

Jerry laughed at Eliza and swept her back onto the dance floor. Everything was looking good. Jerry was confidant enough in his abilities that if he did lose Eliza it would not be for long.
Will spotted Eliza being swept onto the dance floor by a handsome man he didn't recognize. He frowned, who could Eliza possibly be dancing with? Will walked on to the dance floor and was determined to dance with Eliza.
Catalina smiled up at Chester,"As long as you don't leave me alone for long." Catalina siad flirting a little.

Eliza was having so much fun that she didn't even see the approach of Will.
"Rest assured my dear, you're in good hands." And with that Chester led Catalina in the midst of the dance. He hope that no man, for his own sake, cut him, or he might get a tad angery.
Isaic walked up right by the dancing and looked on. He had seen this dance many times before, and new how it worked, but he had never been brave enough to cut someone. That is until he layed eyes upon her . She had beautiful brown hair, and wore a very flattering dress that made her eyes stand out green. He didn't care who she was dancing with, it didn't matter, all that mattered was that for the first time, he wanted to dance with somebody.

Will waited until the right moment, then he smoothly took Eliza out of Jerry's hands and into his own. "Good evening, Eliza," he said cheerfully, moving her farther away from Jerry.
Jerry stood looking at where Eliza had been and started moving towards her again. Only until he found some other girl jumping in his arms. He glowered angrily, but there was nothing he could do. He had lost Eliza to the dance.
Catalina laughed as Chester swept her around the room, expertly keeping her from being taken away.

((i'm doing my geography homework, and i'm on number 21. lol. it's pretty easy, just time consuming.))
"Will? What are you doing? What happend to Jerry?" Eliza asked thouroghly confused.
Isiac moved towards the woman in the green dress, and when she was no longer in the other man's arms, he took his place galently. He just looked into her beautiful green eyes, and carried on with the dance.
Chester looked about the dance floor, looking for his missing partner. One minute Catalina had been in his arms, the next she was gone. He tried to find her, but he kept getting mixed up in the middle of other people.

((yup))
"Well, I'm dancing. And if you are refering to the man you were dancing with he his over there obviously looking for you." Will said calmly, continuing to dance.
Catalina stared at the man that had taken her away from Chester. She didn't say anything just looked into his eyes losing herself in their depths.

"You don't think that you are being just a little rude?" said Eliza slightly annoyed that Will had just cut off her dream guy.
"Hello." said Isaic to the girl infront of him.
Chester finaly spotted Catalina and began to move towards her.
