They say your first official dance with a person is supposed to be magical but my first experience was at the age of sixteen with a friend at my high school formal. We were both having the time of our lives just dancing with friends all night, having fun as normal teens do. As we're wrapping up on the last group dance and getting ready for our staff to announce the court. We come down from dancing to go walk over to get some water from the beverage table they had up, and as we were making our way to the floor so the court could be announced a girl behind me had stepped on my dress and we had slipped together but it wasn't too serious of a fall, we go to helped each other up we laughed and walked away. As we walk to separate we continue to go back to them announcing court. As they announced the king and queen of the formal, everyone clapped for them and as they made a small little speech coming to the end of it they had a couple join them on the dance floor to have the first slow dance with the court. Happen to know the court, My date and I were picked to join them on the dance floor, as we make our way through everyone I notice a little water on the ground and had told my date there's water on the ground “we need to wipe it up “ he looks at me and says there no water could just be the glare from the lights flashing. As we make our way to the floor I push past the water being on the ground and as the song is about to play we get in position to start dancing. As he comes to spin me around I noticed the water I stepped over it this first time and he as in my date had seen it so as were dancing he trying to avoid the water but as were dancing I'm looking at him he slowly starts to falling and after I have seen him slipped on the little puddle of water on the ground I see he goes to grab onto me and well let's just say we're both lying on the ground after the song ends laughing because we slipped. As we were laying there laughing and everyone wanting to help us up and laughing we just continued to laugh about it as we went to get up were asked by staff if we were fine and nothing broke or anything with them being concerned about us falling we say no and go back to dancing. As the dance comes to an end we go outside a while talking my date brings up the fall and asked if I was embarrassed I tell him, no I wasn't it happens and he just smiles at me and says okay. As he continues to go on with what he was catalyzing he smile, an had asked if he could take me home since my dress was wet and he didn't want me going to get dinner like that. As I looked at him in an elated way he smiles and asked if I was ready to go. As you come to read my short little story I want you to think about a time you had that embarrassing moment and share it with someone.
