Extreme Dance-Off
by: Terrell James
In the ship, Dr. Cockroach, B.O.B. and Missing Link were all sitting down on the table, playing some cards. roach was looking at the cards, hoping to beat out B.O.B. and Link, and he let out a little mischievous look. Link was hoping that roach wouldn't guess how many cards he got, because he knows that roach is gonna win....again. B.O.B., well... kept looking at the cards and keeps popping out his eye.
Link was nervously looking at the cards and scratched his neck and wants to switch different cards. roach asked, "B.O.B, do you have any fours?"
B.O.B. looked at the cards, thinking that it was only five cards, instead of three, then he replied, "I've only got five cards, Doc. Why should I get rid of them?"
Cockroach sighed exasperatedly and looking at B.O.B., saying, "We've been over this a million times, you have to look at the number of the cards and see if it's three or five."
"Ohhh... So, I have to get three more?" he asked.
"B.O.B., just answer the question, please!" Link exclaimed, frustrated.
"All right, already!"
He looked at the cards and saw that there was no three, so he turned to roach and said, "Nope, no threes, Doc."
Cockroach rolled his eyes and said, "Okay, then. That's all I want to know."
Link quickly shuffled cards, hoping that roach won't notice. Then, he turned his attention to Link and asked, "Link, do you have any....?"
He quickly whispered to himself, "Please don't say seven, please don't say seven, any number but seven, please don't say seven."
"Sevens?" he finally asked.
Link looked at the cards and saw a seven on him. He groaned frustratedly, threw down the cards and asked, "How the heck did you know that?"
"I know you. You've got your 'don't let it be any number' nervous face, besides, you keep showing your cards number everytime you shuffle." roach answered.
"Oh, come on, no fair, Doc! You always win." Link complained.
"Don't I always?" he asked.
"Come on, Link. It's just a ." B.O.B. said.
"'Just a ?' 'Just a ?' 'Just a ', B.O.B? I'm trying to hard to beat Dr. Cockroach at something and already he beats me 12 friggin' times!" Link exclaimed.
"It was 92, actually." said roach.
Link became a little furious about being beat by roach and wants to beat him at something. He thought up of an idea that he might actually beat him by something. He turned to roach and asked, "How about I take you on with a dance-off?"
Cockroach scoffed humorously and asked, "You, dance?"
Link nodded his head and folded his arms like he's cool and the best, but roach laughed hysterically like he's joking. B.O.B. asked, "What's so funny?"
"Yeah, Doc. What's so funny?" asked Link.
"I'm sorry. It's just... I never thought you could actually dance."
"Hey, I'm a good dancer. I can dance better than you!"
"Well, I would like to see you try."
"Bring it on, Doc!"
Later on, they brought in a CD Player to bring for the dance-off with roach and Link. Cockroach stretched himself up in order to make himself more flexible and ready to take down on the dance floor. Link had to exercise a little to make his moves show-off roach and is confident to finally beat him at something. Then, he wore his headband on his forehead to keep from sweating.
Cockroach turned to Link and stared at the headband, looking like it's a fashion arrest. He asked, "What's with the headband?"
"To keep me from sweating."
"Sorry I asked."
B.O.B. came over to one of them and asked, "So, who's gonna win this thing?"
"It'll be me, of course. Because I'm gonna get my groove back." said Link.
Cockroach scoffed and asked, "What groove? I've seen your moves and everytime you try to make a big move, you back ends up being crushed."
"Well, it'll all be in the past when I win this."
"What are you guys doing?" asked Susan, when she came in.
"We're having a dance-off. Link wants to roach and he wants to beat his butt so bad." said B.O.B.
"Is that right?" she asked.
B.O.B. nodded his head and Susan was looking at them, looking like they're ready to take down the dance floor. Link and roach saw Susan from behind and Link asked, "Susan, came to support me?"
"I came to support both of you."
"Well, thanks. Wish me luck." said roach.
"She means wish me luck."
"You wish."
"Are you guys ready?" asked B.O.B.
Cockroach looked at Link, looking like he's ready to take him down a notch. Link stared at Doc, looking like he'll lose his groove and ready to beat him down.
"We're ready, B.O.B." said roach.
"Prepare to get served!" exclaimed Link.
B.O.B. went in to play a dance song, but when he turned it on, in came an opera song. Cockroach and Link looked at B.O.B. and exclaimed in unison, "Wrong song choice!"
He stopped the song and laughed slightly and said, "Sorry, guys."
He turned in a dance-pop song and they were ready to take each other down a notch. When the song starts playing, roach was ready to get his groove on.

Link felt very imtimidated by Dr. roach's impressive moves, but he put on his A- face and is ready take him down a notch with a mixture of hip-hop breakdancing and Michael Jackson dance-moves.

Cockroach was actually impressed with Link's moves and he came up to roach's face to show off, but, just when it was his moment to do a backflip, he suddenly felt a on his back and fell down on the floor, leaving Cockroach to finish the dance move.

Cockroach finished the song with an impressive Hip-hop dance move with a peace sign. Susan and B.O.B. were cheering for roach and he took a bow. Link stood up and saw roach winning... again. He seethed a little that he never would beat roach at everything, even though he tried his hardest and they made him jealous. He didn't want to stay and see someone taking his moment, feeling hurt, he quietly walked out of the hallway and went to his room to cool himself off to forget about the whole thing.
"I think you did awesome!" exclaimed B.O.B.
"That was great." Susan said.
"Thanks, everybody." said roach.
"Where's Link?"
"I don't know. Might be in his room."
Cockroach realized that Link was tired of being beat by a genius roach and noticed that he made some impressive moves of his own. He went over to Link's room to see how he's doing. While in Link's room, he's still angry at Cockroach for beating him in the dance-off because of his back breaking.
He heard a knock on his door and replied, "Go away."
"It's me, roach."
"Exactly my point. Just leave me alone, doc."
Cockroach opened the door and came in anyway and Link thought he was gonna rub it in his face that he won and he lost, but he took out his hand in front of him. Link became confused and asked, "Why are you sticking your hand out for?"
"To say that it was a good competition. That close to beating me." said roach.
Link gave out a suspicious look and asked, "Is this a trick?"
Cockroach nodded and noticed that it was for real. He told him, "I have to admit your dance moves were really good."
"You think so?" asked Link.
"I know so. So, I declare you the winner."
Link was ecstatic that Cockroach's victory was passed down to Link and he gave roach a handshake. He asked, "All is good, isn't it?"
Link smiled and said, "Yeah, it's all good. I finally beat you at something and it was awesome."
"Yes, I bet." Cockroach chuckled.
This is my first 'Monsters vs. Aliens' fic. So, it's an awesome movie. That song was "Circus" from Britney Spears. PLEASE don't judge me on this. It just came out of my head and felt like it should add to the fic. Anyways, R&R please! --A.F. '91
