Breakfast had been a nightmare.
Joven and Lasercorn had purposely placed the chairs so he and Mari were sitting next to each other, and his parents were on either side, with Joven and Lasercorn facing them. Ian and Anthony were too busy looking at all the food, but Joven and Lasercorn did their darn best to make it awkward for Sohinki.
Sohinki sighed, and shoved his hands in his jean pockets. The group of them were on the subway, heading to Champs Élysées for a bit of shopping and sight seeing. He looked over at Mari. The Asian was looking out the window, watching the sights go by. He couldn't help but notice how beautiful she was. Sohinki sighed, and felt Lasercorn bump into him, "Hi Sohinki," he said, and Sohinki knew he had a stupid grin on his face.
"Hi Lasercorn," he said, and turned around. Lasercorn was grinning from ear to ear, "You're a dick you know that right?" Sohinki said.
"I know," Lasercorn answered, and the train stopped.
They all got off, and the sun hit them in the eyes. Everyone pulled out sunglasses, and looked around, "We'll meet you back here around 4," Sohinki's mom said, and her and his dad went off on their own, leaving Sohinki to the mercy of his friends.
"Where to first?" Anthony asked, looking around.
"We could just wander," Mari suggested, "I think I see a street performer up ahead!" She ran ahead of the group. Joven turned around, grinning at Sohinki.
"You know what you should do?" Sohinki knew he was going to regret asking that questions.
"What?"
"Dance off, with the street performer. It can be the bonus video!" he exclaimed.
"No," Sohinki said.
"Aww come on!" Anthony whined, "It will be great! Besides we all know you can dance and maybe, just maybe, you'll impress Mari," he added, and everyone nodded.
"I am not challenging the street performer," Sohinki said, as they walked over to the small crowd of people gathering.
"Why not?" Lasercorn asked.
"I'm not going to do it, ok?" he exclaimed, making everyone turn and look at him, "Damn it," he muttered, and the street performer walked over, looking at them.
"He," Joven said, pointing at Sohinki, "challenge you," he pointed at the performer, "to dance off," he said, pretending to dance.
"I can speak English," the street performer said, and turned to Sohinki, "A dance off, eh? You think you can dance better than me white boy? (See below)" Sohinki looked at his friends. He hated them so much right now.
"I didn't say I could dance better," Sohinki said.
"So you're a bad dancer."
"No!" Sohinki glared at his friends, "Fine. Dance off. Right now."
The two walked into the center of the crowd, and Anthony pulled out his iPhone, "Hey guys welcome to this week's bonus video! As you can see we are in Paris!: he yelled, and flipped his phone, showing off the scenery, "Say hi guys!" The Smosh Games crew waved at the camera, "This week, we managed to get Sohinki into a dance off on one of the busiest streets in Paris. Let's go!"
The French dancer turned on his music, and it was a remix song. Sohinki watched the French dancer, as he began showing off his moves. Sohinki tapped his foot to the beat, getting the rhythm in his head.
The world was on fire and no one could save me but you
It's strange what desire will make foolish people do
The guy began breaking dancing, something that they were used to because of Flitz, and they had also been taught a bit of break dancing, but this guy was good.
I never dreamed that I'd meet somebody like you
And I never dreamed that I'd lose somebody like you
The crowd was getting into the music, tapping their feet. Joven began doing his own little dance moves, and Anthony pointed the camera at him for a bit. Mari was the only one who was really paying attention to the battle.
No, I don't want to fall in love
No, I don't want to fall in love
With you
With you
The French dancer posed, and everyone cheered and clapped. He walked over to Sohinki (he stood a good couple inches taller than him) and patted him on the shoulder, "Your turn white boy," he said, and Sohinki walked to the center, listening to the music. He looked up and saw Mari looking at him. She smiled, and gave him two thumbs up. Little did she know Anthony got that moment on camera.
Sohinki listened, and as soon as the words started, he began dancing, not for everyone but for Mari.
This is the end
Hold your breath and count to ten
Sohinki completely forgot that he was being recorded, and just let the music and the moves flow through him.
Feel the earth move and then
Hear my heart burst again
Everyone began clapping while Sohinki was dancing, including the French dancer, who was really impressed that the white boy could dance.
For this is the end
I've drowned and dreamt this moment
So overdue I owe them
Swept away I'm stolen
"Alright i guess the white boy can dance!" the French dancer said, and walked over to Sohinki, "Much respect," he said, holding out his hand, "Say we do a little routine?" he asked, and Sohinki smiled.
"You got it."
The two made up a routine on the spot, and began dancing, everyone cheering them on.
No, I don't want to fall in love
No, I don't want to fall in love
Let the skyfall
When it crumbles
We will stand tall
Face it all together
Let the skyfall
When it crumbles
We will stand tall
Face it all together
At skyfall
They continued dancing for a bit, making the crowd really energetic and they stopped posing. Everyone began cheering as loud as they could, as the two shook hands again. Anthony pointed the camera at Sohinki.
"Sohinki how did that feel?" he asked.
"Awesome," Sohinki answered, "Glad you two assholes made me do it," he said, looking at Joven and Lasercorn. Mari rushed over and hugged him.
"That was awesome!" she exclaimed, catching Sohinki off guard. She pulled back, "That was awesome," she said again, smiling. Sohinki smiled back.
"Thanks."
Meanwhile, at the Smosh Games Headquarters...
Wes sat in his desk, flicking paper at Max, "We should probably put up a video?" Max suggested.
"Of what?" Wes asked, spinning around in his chair, and he heard a bing on his computer. He spun around, "Email from Anthony," he said, and Flitz and Max gathered around, "'Hey guys! We're having a blast in Paris, and we actually just shot a bonus video like not even a half hour ago and I'm sending it to you now so you can edit it! Maybe even post it? Cheers! Anthony'", Wes opened the file, and listened to the first part.
"Dance off?" Flitz asked, "Street performers? Man why couldn't they take us!" he complained.
"Wait!" Max shouted, "Freeze the frame right...there!" Wes froze it, as the exact moment when Mari gave Sohinki thumbs up, "I have a video idea. Montage of all the Sohinki/Mari moments from the videos for Super Mari Fun time," he said. Joven had told Wes, Max and Flitz about Sohinki's crush on Mari, so they were in on the whole get Mari and Sohinki together.
"What would we do that for?" Wes asked.
"We get the viewers' opinions on them," Max explained, "Let's go film!" he jumped up, and grabbed a camera, while Wes began editing the bonus video.
"Hey guys welcome to Super Mari Fun time! As you can see, I'm not Mari because she is actually in Paris! Woot!" Max said, and Flitz shook his head, "So, for this week's video we have sort of a montage of moments through Smosh Games, involving two certain people. And you will find out during the montage!" he said, pointing at the screen. Flitz stopped recording.
"So that's the beginning," Flitz said, "Both of us do the end?" he suggested, and Max nodded. Flitz hit record and jumped in.
"That was so many cute moments. Let us know what you think about it in the comments or on Twitter which is in the description below with #Marhinki! Replacing Mari I'm Flizt!"
"And I'm Max!"
"See ya!"
Flitz rushed over to the camera, and shut it off, grinning, "Sohinki is going to kill us," he said, "but it will be so worth it."
Oh no! Shenanigans!
Side story: When I was in Paris three years ago, we were at Versaille and there are groups of African-Americans who were trying to sell us little key chains and flags that we weren't really interested in at the moment. One of them was trying to convince a friend of mine to buy one, so when he was walking away from them he started yelling, "Hey white boy! White boy!" So that's where that comes from.
Anywho, we shall see what the reaction to the Marhinki video will be IN THE NEXT CHAPTER!
Also, the lyrics come the mashup "Gamefall" by Robin Skouteris in case any of you want to check it out! Until next time!
Peace!
