The circus was in town. Joseph saw the fliers that they had put up everywhere in town, and it seemed like fun, so he decided to go watch. So that afternoon he was sitting in the audience cheering on. Lots of fun stuff. The clowns were hilarious.

Then his favorite part started: the line dancing. First up was a young woman. She was dressed in a ballerina outfit and in her hand was an umbrella. She started walking across the line. Her steps seemed so light, almost like she was flying. Joseph thought she was the nicest looking girl he had ever seen. She was almost halfway over the line now. Suddenly she slipped. Josephs heart started beating fast. The line was high up, and she could get seriously hurt if she fell. Then he saw the safety net underneath, and felt a bit better. She got her balance back and made it across very gracefully. Joseph started wondering how this woman who he had never met before could get him so worried. He realized that he had fallen in love with her. He was a very shy person, but decided that this time he was going to do something about it.

After the performance was done the circus stars were signing autographs outside. The line to the line dancers were the longest. Joseph was nervous. He stood and watched the fountain outside for a while. It was a beautiful fountain, with a sculpture of two mermaids, and the water was coming out of their mouths. Eventually he decided to get in the line. As he got closer and closer to her he got more and more nervous, almost to the point of having a panic attack. What would he say to her? He had no idea. A person was walking around selling some snacks to the people waiting in line. He bought a can of cola, and when he drank it he felt a bit better.

The line got shorter and shorter, and suddenly he was at the top. He heard himself speaking "Um.. hi. My name is Joseph.". The line dancer girl replied. "Hi. I'm Maria. Do you have a paper for me to sign?". He took a deep breath, then replied "I don't want an autograph, but I was wondering if you would like to have dinner with me?". She said "Sure, why not. I'm almost done here, so just wait around a bit.". He felt relieved about not getting rejected, and said "Okay, see you in a bit then." and walked back to the fountain and waited there.

It was getting dark outside, and most people had left, when she came up to him and said "Where do you want to go?". He replied "There is a nice restaurant not far from here", I'll show you. She had changed out of her ballerina outfit and into a nice evening dress. It only took a few minutes to walk to the restaurant. They both ordered the fish stew that the restaurant was famous for.

They had a great time at the restaurant, and when they were done eating they didn't want to part ways yet, so they decided to go for a walk. They walked trough the city, holding hands, down to the harbor. It was totally dark outside now. There were no clouds, and Joseph thought the stars were brighter than ever before. There was a full moon this night, and with the light from that they could see far out across the ocean. They walked on to the beach that was next to the harbor. They were totally alone. When they had gotten halfway across the beach Maria turned to Joseph, looked into his eyes, and kissed him on the mouth.
