"Come on sock head make a move already!" Eddy told his best friend Edd, otherwise known as Double D.
"Uh w-what do you mean?" stuttered a profusely sweating Edd.
It had been 6 months since the last Shut Up and Dance! dance at Peach Creek Junior High, a party which ended in the utter destruction of the school's gymnasium. This second dance was meant to celebrate the newly fixed gym. It was a job well done. They had even been able to install speakers in all the corners of the room. The speakers were blasting at full volume with music as the kids danced around excitedly.
"You've been making goo goo eyes at Nazz since we got here! Just ask her to dance! This is a dance after all."
"But what if she says no? I just wouldn't be able to bare the rejection!" said Edd as he slowly sunk down into his chair.
"Rejection? She danced with you last time around," Eddy replied, a hint of jealousy in his voice, "why wouldn't she dance with you now?"
"But she is just so… intimidating."
"Come on Double D! Girls aren't that scary! You silly goose!" added Edds slow witted friend Ed. "Watch I will show you!"
Ed then pulled out a poorly drawn picture of Nazz. "Hey sweetie! Would you mind partaking in a dance with me? No you're prettier!" Ed then began to dance with his piece of paper.
"Well if you think it's so easy why don't you go and ask someone to dance Eddy?" said Edd, ignoring the antics of his friend Ed. "Go ask Lee. She looks rather bored sitting there by herself. It would be shameful to let a beautiful damsel like her go the whole night without dancing. And you know just as well as I that she would love to dance with you." Edd told Eddy in a sarcastic tone.
"I uh, I gotta go to the bathroom." Replied Eddy, blushing. He then got up and headed to the restroom.
Edd glanced over to see what Nazz was doing. She was just sitting in the bleachers on the other side of the gym. She had a bored expression on her face. She and Edds eyes made contact briefly, but Edd quickly looked away, blushing furiously.
He then turned to look at his peers dancing with each other while La La La by LMFAO was playing. How Edd had longed to be one of them, dancing and having a good time. Sadly his social awkwardness prevented that. In his mind he knew that Nazz would probably accept his offer to dance. Yet the possibility of rejection was enough to keep Edd away.
Suddenly something in the crowd caught Edds eyes. It was Kevin dancing with Marie Kanker.
"What in the world?" Edd thought to himself. "I thought Marie had her heart set on getting me." His thoughts of Nazz completely disappeared when he saw this. Normally watching Marie flirt with other boys would be a comforting feeling, knowing that she was temporarily not attacking him. But this time it was different. Watching the couple dance bothered Edd. "Had Kevin seduced Marie? Is Marie forcing Kevin to dance with her to make me jealous? But they both look like they are having so much fun…" Edds thoughts trailed off, as he watched the two smile and dance.
Abruptly the song cut off, earning the complaints of many partygoers. Apparently the DJ was having issues with his set up.
"Thank God." Edd thought to himself, as he witnessed Marie and Kevin separate. He couldn't stand watching those two dance with each other for any longer. "Why do I care so much? Maybe I should ask Marie to dance instead…"
"What did you just say Sock Head?" Eddy asked loudly.
"N-Nothing!" Edd grimaced. He hadn't noticed that Eddy had come back from the bathroom.
"Ha! You're not getting off the easy! You just said that you should ask Marie to dance! Oh man I would have never thought…"
"Eddy Please keep your voice down!" Edd told Eddy as he covered his mouth.
"Get your hand off my face." replied Eddy as he removed Edds hand, Eddy's voice slightly lowered. "So what's up? You gonna ask Marie? You know she definitely wouldn't reject you."
"No. It's just that I saw her dancing with Kevin and…"
"You got jealous didn't you?" Edd opened his mouth to respond but Eddy continued, "Why would you care? I thought you would be relieved to see her bugging someone that's not you. I thought you hated her."
That last part really bothered Edd. He never really hated Marie so much as he was just intimidated by her. He actually considered himself lucky that Marie, the most beautiful of the Kanker sisters in his opinion, showed affection towards him. Though her methods for showing affection were less than ideal, Edd would be lying if he told himself that he didn't slightly enjoy the attacks, as ferocious as they may have been.
Suddenly the music came back with a vengeance. They played Poker Face by Lady Gaga. The music was now twice as loud as it had previously been. The dancing started up yet again.
Edd immediately scanned crowed for Marie, slightly worried that she would be with Kevin again. To his relief, however, he saw her sitting in the bleachers next to her sister Lee.
"Phew." He thought aloud.
"Now's your chance Sock Head, go ask her! You know she loves Lady Gaga! It's the perfect opportunity!" Eddy said, snapping Edd out of his momentary trance.
"She likes Lady Gaga?"
"Beats Me."
"I certainly hope not…"
"Just go ask her already!" Eddy yelled impatiently as he shoved Edd off of his chair
"B-But what about Nazz?" Edd replied as he stumbled to keep himself from falling.
"She's dancing with Johnny lover boy. Looks like Marie is your only option now."
"But she is sitting with Lee! You can't just send me there by myself! They will eat me alive!" Edd stammered, desperately hoping that the mentioning of Lee would get Eddy to back off.
Eddy blushed. "I'll go over with you if you ask Marie dance." He said nervously.
"W-What really?" Edd said, honestly surprised. "Is Eddy really going to help me with this? Is he doing this just to get close to Lee?" Edd pondered in his head.
"Sure." Eddy responded, a little more confidence in his voice this time. He then stood up.
"Go get em guys!" Ed yelled to the two from the dance floor, watching them as they made their way to the Kanker duo.
"Shut up Ed." Eddy said naturally.
So that's it for this first part. I'll get the second part up as soon as I can. I'm still new to writing so constructive criticism is welcome, the harsher the better. Please review. Have a nice day.
