Fred had an air of determination as he packed some CDs and DVDs into a bag. He had noticed the previous night that a particular person had felt a little uneasy at the club, especially when everyone else was dancing. Maybe it was loneliness, maybe it was awkward social skills, maybe it was the fact that the guy treated nearly everyone in town that had a "problem". There was one thing he knew, though: Fred was going to teach him how to dance, at least.
Slinging the bag over his shoulder, he stopped by the cage of his pet rabbit. "Well, wish me luck, Thumper," Fred said while reaching through the bars and petting the rabbit on the head. Then he set out to find his potential student.
Fortunately, they lived in the same building on nearly the same floor, so it wasn't that much of a walk.
"Archie?" he called after knocking on the door to the therapist's apartment. "You in?"

After a few moments, Archie came and answered the door. "Oh, hello Fred."

"Hiya, Archie," Fred greeted with a smile. "Listen, can I talk to you about something if you got time?"

"Sure," he stepped back from the door, "Come on in."

"Thanks." Fred entered Archie's apartment, letting the bag he was carrying droop a little bit. "Well, first of all, I want to thank you for coming out to the club last night," he began. "I'm sorry that I wasn't at my top game, though. Regina... had come by earlier, stuff happened..."

"Oh, it was fun," Archie assured him, "And I couldn't tell. Not really."

Fred breathed a sigh of relief, but only at the last comment. "Thanks. But uh... did ya really have fun?" he asked. "Couldn't help but notice that you were sitting by yourself while most everyone else was dancing."

Fred sighed, running a hand through his dark hair. "Archie," he began, "what I really like about Club Robin is that it gives folks a chance to loosen up and get involved with the rhythm of the music. You, just sitting there... It didn't look like involvement to me. Granted, you did order something from the menu, but that's not my point. The club's a place to socialize, have fun, actually moving around." The man stared at his neighbor, a look of mock worry on his face and a slight pout in his lip. "Don't tell me that you're one of those people that's uncomfortable outside their work zone, Arch..."

"I'm not uncomfortable outside my work zone," Archie said firmly, "But it seems it bothered you that it looked like I was?"

Fred simply nodded. "It's called 'I am your neighbor and somewhat of a friend, and I worry about your social life more than you seem to be worried about it', Archie."

He gave a shrug. "i didn't know I needed to be worried about it."

"Well, if anything, you need a bit more excitement in it more than anything," Fred observed. "And, if you're willing, I'm going to help you out with that."

He raised an eye brow. "Oh really?"

"Yes." Fred looked square into Archie's eyes with determination. "Actually, I really wasn't gonna give ya a choice in the matter, but you've been acting better than I thought you would."
