At the same time that Liz was resisting giving Roger a cuddle, the real Maureen was on the dance floor at a club called “Footsies” She had no idea what the name meant and didn’t care. She was dancing under strobe lights with Sean to loud music with a strong beat. She was feeling great but her feet were starting to be a bit sore. She was not used to dancing so much in heels.
Sean really did remind her of Roger. It was easy to think she had gone back in time and was dancing with Roger when he was 20. She had found out that was Sean’s age. He was unable to buy alcohol at the bar as he was under 21. Only Steve and Mason had the appropriate ID. She had been careful not to drink any more alcohol herself and had only asked for lemon soda. She didn’t know that the Steve and Mason who were ordering lemon vodka and soda.
She felt a bit under the weather but that was to be expected. She had played volleyball, swum, enjoyed dinner at a hotel and had now been on and off the dance floor for several hours. If she had been in her own body she would have collapsed in exhaustion hours ago. But she wasn’t! For the night she was in an attractive 19 year old body and she intended to enjoy every minute of it.
She indicated to Sean that she needed a rest. He nodded assent and took her hand to lead her back to the collection of seats the group had somehow appropriated for the night. Mason and Claire had disappeared some time ago, Maureen assumed they had gone back to the unit. She had seen Special K and Steve on the dance floor and found Charlotte sitting on Cameron’s lap kissing him passionately. It seemed that their first date had gone rather well. Charlotte pulled herself away from the snogging long enough to say: “Those drinks are for you two, from Steve” before resuming her kiss.
Maureen sat on the opposite couch and Sean sat beside her. Sean passed the apparent lemon soda to Maureen and took a swallow out of his own rum and coke. He had been drinking them since they had been at the club and Maureen was a little concerned he had indulged in a few too many. That was why she had been keeping him on the dance floor as much as possible. The fact that she loved watching his cute bum wiggle only added to the desire to dance.

Meanwhile Roger was starting to get concerned that Maureen had fallen asleep. He was feeling really randy and had a huge erection he did not want to waste. His fingers explored under the doona towards Maureen’s side of the bed.
