Summary: Tracey gets a girlfriend. For 30_shinyfics.
Tracey is nervous about asking her to dance. Not because she's likely to refuse. He is, after all, the only other kid on St. Albans, within a reasonable distance at least, of the right age for her. She's likely to want him to dance, dance, and dance some more, which is the problem. He's never been wonderful at that. And it's only a tiny gathering, the adults, a couple of kids, some food and the crackly old radio -- so everyone will see him. Watch them. Whatever.
She is every bit as enthusiastic about it as he feared. He barely even gets the request out before she's grabbing his hand and dragging him to the patch of clear floor dubbed the dancefloor. She's even almost trying to lead -- a task he's pretty glad to relinquish.
But she doesn't get a chance to hold onto him all night.
The war starts pretty much that day. It was already beginning, in fits and starts, but it's become official. And Tracey swallows his fears, kisses the girl goodbye, reluctantly only because he isn't keen on kissing her, and goes to join the Independents, hoping to find a new girl and see more of the 'verse.
