"Well, I can. So that wouldn't be teaching me to dance."

Fred fell silent for a few moments. "... we could teach each other, then" he quietly said. "I can teach you high-energy dances, you... can... slow dances, yeah..." He sighed, putting a hand to his head. "... I dunno, Archie, I just... don't know..."

"Why is this so important to you?" Archie asked softly.

"Because, Archie, I care." In reality, Fred really wasn't sure why he was doing this. He wanted to help out, he was being neighborly, he wanted Archie to have some excitement in his life. But what kind of solid excuse was that? Hell, he didn't even know!

"Thank you," he said sincerely.

Fred felt a small smile tug at his lips. "You're... welcome," he replied, letting the smile grow. For a moment, he was silent. Then he remembered what he was there for. "So, ah, that... lessons, yeah."

"Maybe you could show me that fast dance again?" Archie asked

Fred chuckled, reaching into the bag again for one of the faster-tempo CD. "If you're sure you're up for it," he said. "Now, wanna try the jive again, or should we try the samba or a Latin dance? The latter might be better for the both of us."

"Something fast... but not too fast... maybe?" he smiled

"We'll try the samba, then," Fred agreed, pulling out the CD. "It's like the two-step, but it has more of a bounce. And," he added, pulling out a DVD, "I am not that well-versed in the samba, so we're using this."

Archie gave a smile, "That might help."

Fred laughed, something he couldn't help but doing. "Yeah, otherwise we'd both be lost!" He handed the DVD, in its case, to Archie. "I might share a first name, but I'm no Fred Astaire."

He set it up and started the DVD going.

Fred stood up and glanced at the TV. This was actually the first time in a while that he had used that DVD to teach anyone, including himself, how to dance. He just hoped that it'd help both of them out right now.

Archie pushed up his glasses and watched it intently for a few minutes, motionless.
