Girl Meets Boy
   
A Vegas Fantasy

Story by RJ Gibbs

Walking past the front bar, a host guides the pair around the dance floor and DJ booth to the stairs. The two floors are decorated in the fashion of a Hollywood movie set: strobes and colored lights pointing every which way. The host stops at the balcony as they ascend to the top of the stairs overlooking the dance floor. He allows Tom and Jen to take in the ambiance. Dancers on pedestals perform at different spots in the club, both up and downstairs. The main floor is a wave of activity, like blades of grass, coaxed into motion by a breeze, moving at the same time.

Tom and Jen sit in their private booth and enjoy the vodka, gin, rum, and assortment of mixers. The excitement is building within the club as the crowd thickens below. The tempo of the music spun by DJ Lisa Pittman is creating a climax.

Tom and Jen join the swell of dancers enjoying the thumping beats. The two wrap themselves up in each other's arms and allow the music to take hold. They dance and laugh as the strobes flash in an erratic display, indicative of the approaching excitement. The house music builds to a peak and the teasing beats resonate throughout the club. Suddenly, a burst of confetti rains down from the ceiling. The crowd screams in exhilaration and Tom and Jen share the first kiss of the night. Soon, Tom and Jen see two people descending from the ceiling, secured by a cable attached to a giant loop. Inside the circle, they twist and fold into each other, performing a seductive dance 20 feet in the air. The sky dancers spin and twist their way to the floor. Tom and Jen dance for what seems like eternity. The crowd is full of energy, but the couple decides to retire for the evening.

As Tom and Jen walk through the lobby of MGM Grand, they remark that the night was perfect: they met at Ivan Kane's Forty Deuce and experienced a burlesque show like they had never seen. At Studio 54, they listened to intoxicating music and enjoyed the sky dancers' show. Unfortunately, all this would change in a few hours.

The next day, they would board the plane home to Boston, living together again as husband and wife. The following chapter of their girl meets boy fantasy would have to be continued on the next trip to Sin City. After all, electricity is never in short supply.
