The girls embark.

{If Penny's 100 = true}The higher-pitched clicks of Jen's heels and quieter thuds of Penny's evolved keds were announcing their presence from afar, but the Shoe Hall had lower ceiling and fuller interior than the Great Hall, so the echoes were not as prominent as they would be if they still were up there. Penny knew that Jen was a little more adjusted to herself, but other than that, she felt like they were not only friends, but equals.

{else}High-pitched clicks of Jen's six inch heels were making Penny feel overshadowed. Jen was taller and noisier, while the keds of the blue-haired girl could not produce any sounds at all. She wondered if the 'enchantment' that was already binding them to her feet was going to fix that, but for the time being, she accompanied her prominent new friend, her emotional state torn between anticipation, jealousy and inferiority.{endif}

Their search continued on until they felt they were not the only ones sending vibrations to the floor. The source was behind the heavy dark curtains that they approached without further clues. {If Penny's 100 = true}While Jen moved away the left side of the curtain, Penny took care of the right one, and they were able to enter the mysterious place.{else}Jen threw the curtains sideways and stormed in. Penny followed her.{endif}

Like they expected, it was a dance floor, but the area was very dimly lit, as the large disco globe responsible for the lighting was barely powered and barely moving. Only a few seconds later the girls noticed that the place was populated. Several female silhouettes were waking up from their slumber upon noticing the newcomers. Their waists were attached to the ceiling with special belts that prevented them from resting on the floor itself. The giant speaker system was continuously pounding out rhythmic beats that were making more vibrations than sounds.

One of the women stepped closer to Jen and uttered:

"Get out. Save your souls." — the woman in the shadow continued speaking, as Jen raised her brows, waiting for an elaboration, — "It only takes out those who could cum while dancing, I don't know where! The rest get stuck here until they can do it too, so please, just get out while you can."

Jen chuckled and turned on her heels, then looked back over her shoulder and said:

"If you have a problem there, watch and learn, bitch."

Then it began. Penny was dazzled by how the lights went back on with Jen's first swing of her hips, but frightened by the tired faces of other girls who had nothing better to do but give it another shot. Many were still full of enthusiasm, but some others were neither feeling like it nor equipped for the cause as well as Jenny and Penny were.

Another belt shifted out of nowhere, managing to play with the lights. It was welcome on Jen's waist, symbolizing her commitment to the dance. Her eyes then met Penny's once again.
