Mike's head spun as his younger brother's foot hit him in the head.
He went to the floor, still in his white Taekwondo gobok. Spitting out his mouthguard, he threw away his black belt and did a knee float to get back up, flashbacks from the It's My Life Mash up going through his head.
His younger brother, Terry, just grinned and said: "You know Mike, I don't know why you keep this up, you should just focus on you dancing."
Mike grinned despite his bruised face.
"You know Dad would be disappointed if I quit. I can do both, but I'll always be better at dancing."
Terry grinned. At his red faced brother, a boot print already developing on his face.
It was the summer holidays after Regionals, and Terry was about to enter his sophomore year. He hoped they had a Taekwondo team there. That was almost his whole life.
School was starting in two days, and despite his longings for a Taekwondo team, he was actually considering of joining the Glee club after seeing Mike at Regionals. And unknown to Mike, he was in fact a pretty good dancer…
"OK Bruce Lee, let's see how you go in a dance off." Mike said, unaware of his brother's thoughts.
Terry grinned and plugged in his iPod into the dock and turned the speakers up to possibly one of his favourite songs.
The familiar guitar rift made Mike smile.
"Beat It? Really? Let's Dance."
Mike started doing an air guitar to the rift, spinning and going into a knee drop, springing back up, doing various waves and locking techniques, finishing with a big spin and a leaping split in midair… Forgetting that it was a low lying ceiling, slamming his head into the ceiling.
"Oh God," muttered Terry, helping Mike up from the floor.
"I think we're done for today," Mike said wincing slightly.
"Duh."
