"And this is the Dance Central 2's station, Lowdown!"
Glitch said to Kerith, who is five steps away from where he was. Pointing to the rail tracks, he continued, "From the west, will bring you all the way to Dance Central station, the first city that was ever created for dancers like us!"
Kerith looked at the whole station was amazed a bit for he has never been here. Sure, he had been here to dance battle with Hi-Def before but he never had the chance to examine things up close. He'd never went out of his building unless there was a dance battle for him to be in. But thanks to Glitch, who is honoured to be his tour guide for the day, led him to so many places, and with another surprise, he didn't put out any traps for Kerith!
"Where's the train?" Kerith asked his young tour guide, who is trying to reach the signboard that is way too high up for him to reach due to his size.
"The train will not come back until 5:30 p.m. Now it's just 3:32 p.m ." Glitch said as he pushed his sleeve away to read his watch.
Kerith looked around, not believing to what Glitch just said. But as he looked left to right, there was no train in sight. Glitch was right. It was due to that, he became bored. He immediately he turned around, heading for the exit.
"Let's go to Bodie and Emilia's beach until the train comes back."
"Stop, wait!" Glitch stopped him from any further. He then went in front of him and held his hand. "Remember who's the tour guide here."
"Yeah, but what's with the hand holding?" Kerith asked with ignorance in his tone of voice.
"Don't want you to get lost again. Like last time." Glitch said as he smiled, for he was able to make fun of him for a change. As he felt great for the sudden change, Kerith was following him, looking embarrased, trying to not remember that time .
They walked and walked and finally arrived at High Tide beach, where Emilia and Bodie is, dance battling two dancers while entertaining others with their very own moves they have for the chosen song.
Kerith and Glitch waited until they are finished with their dance battle so they could ask for a tour. Glitch knows the High Tide beach very well, for he has hang out here with the other guys, but just not too well until he could give a tour about it. And besides, Emilia and Bodie might know more than Glitch anyway, since they have been working here as lifeguards for almost half their lives.
"Hey, nice moves just now! Keep up the good work!" Emilia said to the two dancers, who, to Glitch's point of view, are novices since he saw a few moves that didn't quite follow the song.
"Hey Glitch, what are you doing here?" Emilia said with no sound of exhaustion, as she walked to them, holding out her fist to Glitch, expecting a fist back from him.
Glitch smiled as he pound Emilia's fist with his own. "No, I— We, are here for a grand tour around High Tide Beach." He said that as he pulled Kerith closer to him with his whole energy, for he WAS bigger than him. Kerith pushed Glitch's hand away from him.
'Hmph… What's his problem?' Emilia thought to herself as she crossed her arms, looking quite cross with Kerith's rudeness. Emilia looked at Glitch after that, making sure Glitch is okay with his behaviour. Glitch figured out what Emilia's message was and shrugged,which was the reply for her message, that was filled with concern.
"Did I hear something about a tour?" Bodie came from behind, with a full face of acceptance of having to give a tour for the two. Emilia smiled when he saw Bodie, who was quite flattered from the smile but not until she handed the two boys to Bodie.
"Have fun, you three!" Emilia said as she waved at them, running back to the middle side of the beach, wanting to continue entertaining the guests. Bodie finally found out that Emilia might be relieved that she didn't have to give the tour, since the beach is quite huge and filled with cool places to go. To Emilia, it will be boring to go through the whole thing again considering she has gone through it many times since she always jogs there. Thankfully, Bodie didn't mind at all since it's Glitch. His rival and his good pal.
There was a silence between them. Kerith thought, wanting to fit in with the crowd he said something that ended up making the two tour guides shocked and surprised. Mostly shocked:
"Sexy chick, isn't she?"
Bodie was surprised(or maybe shocked) that he, Kerith, one of the lead dancers to Glitterati, would say such a thing and in such a manner. Glitch was shocked with the same reason and also the no-reason why Bodie, had never said that before, for all of his years of being a lifeguard and dancer with Emilia all his life.
"Glitch, can I talk to you for a minute?" Bodie said as he pushed Glitch away from Kerith, who was confused as to what is going on.
"What ARE you doing with a Glitterati?" Bodie said to Glitch with a lazy eye, suspicious with why Glitch suddenly decided to finally take up the Glitterati's offer to get a tour at a beach. A place good and big for many sand traps and hidden crabs.
"It's not really about any tour, right?" Bodie said in a detective sorta way. "Ugh, I told you, the second time! No quicksand traps! It's going to endanger other people! Now, let's go find those quicksand traps, put YOU in there and see how you like it, okay?
"Oh no, that's not why I'm here, Bodie!" Glitch interrupted him. "I'm really here for a tour for him!" Bodie looked at him with disbelief.
Is this really the Glitch he knew?
"Who are you and what have you done with little Glitch!" Bodie asked with full suspicion, not believing on what he is hearing for Glitch is the type of guy that doesn't give a single sh*t about anyone, except for Mo.
Glitch sighed, tired of this charade so he pulled Bodie by the shoulder and pulled him close to his mouth, wanting to whisper to him some proof that he is Glitch. He whispered and suddenly, Bodie was all red to the face to his ears.
"Ok, ok, I believe you!" Bodie said as he pulled away, trying to wipe the smirk off his face before Emilia sees. "Just don't remind me of that ever again!"
"DEAL!" Glitch said with full hype of wanting to get this over with, not caring what the secret beholds and how much it can work as blackmail. "Now can we have the tour?"
Bodie looked at him closely, again with suspiction. He then suddenly laughed and said to Glitch as he pat his head as he smiled at him. "Why would I say no to one of my dearest friends?"
Glitch smiled and was glad to have met someone like Bodie.
From afar, a Glitterati is feeling left out and was filled with regret that he had just missed on so many things in his life…
Laughing, loving others, being loved by others, enjoying the fact of being…..alive...
