Chapter 3: A night at the Havana
The school bell rang and everyone got out of the classrooms and headed to the cafeteria. Danny and Cronos take the class before lunch together and now are walking to meet Tucker and Sam. Cronos suddenly stopped.
"I don't know Danny, I mean, look at me, every one in school hates me, and I bet your friends hate me too." Danny couldn't help it and laughed at the boy, it's the first time he seen someone so nervous to met his friends.
"No, they don't, you worry too much. Which is odd you normally are quite laid back, is something wrong?" Cronos looked at Danny and put his disinterested face.
"I just didn't dream last night." Danny looked confuse at him.
"Dream?" Cronos then snap out of his trance and put an innocent face.
"It's nothing; really, I'm just not used to be meeting new friends."
They continue walking and finally saw Sam and Tucker at the same table they were when Skulker attacked the other day.
"Sam, Tuck, I believe you already know Cronos. Cronos this is Sam and Tucker." Sam took the initiative and started a conversation with him, politics, books, and plays were the things they had in common. Tucker eventually joined in and the conversation turn into movies, video games, and sports, they pasted most of the hour getting to know each other.
"Well is been fun but I have to talk to Paulina." Sam and Tucker looked at him, Sam angry and Tucker surprised.
"Dude is like your first week and you want to try to speak to her?"
"Boys, I didn't thought you would fall so quickly into that harpy's spell, what so special about her?"
"Why are you going to speak to her?" Cronos backed up at the sudden barrage of questions.
"I just wanted to speak to her about the surprise the football team have plan for me tomorrow. I heard she's the only one that can do anything to stop it." The other stopped their menacing search for answer and looked a bit surprised.
"That makes sense." All three answered at once. Cronos waved good-bye and went out to find Paulina.
Later at Hall…
"Hey, Paulina can I speak to you for a sec." The girl turned around and frown at the sight of Cronos coming towards her.
"Why would I be interested in wasting a second to a loser like you?" She then went again to her business. Cronos smile.
"¿Ya estas interesada? (Now your interested?)" Paulina gasped and once more turned to the boy.
"You got my attention." Cronos smile once more.
"I hear you're the girl to talk to if I want to stop the football to stop their little surprise for me." Paulina smile and crossed her arms.
"Yes, I am. But I won't do it for free."
"What's the cost?" Paulina smile grew even bigger.
"No money, just a little "quest"."
"I'll do it."
"Desperate aren't we? All you have to do is go to the Havana night club tonight and get a date with the queen."
"How do I to get in?"
"Here, with this you can get in and three of your friends." Paulina took out a card from her purse and handed it to Cronos.
"One more thing, in the club you must wear a mask and use a nickname that must be Latin like, got it?"
"Got it." Paulina then continues on her way.
At 3 o'clock…
Danny and friends were heading out when Cronos came running to them.
"Hey, guys want to go to a party tonight?" said Cronos approaching the group.
"Is a school night, I don't think that such a good idea." Replied Sam and Tucker looked at her angry and said.
"Come on Sam, don't be such a party pooper."
"It's at this club called Havana."
"HAVANA!" All three yelled at him, luckily everyone else had already left to their houses.
"Yes, something wrong with the place?"
"Dude, that's like the most VIP place in town, invitation only, and to get one you must speak Spanish!" Cronos, still not surprised by the comment, continued.
"I have an invitation, it's for group of four, and I want to go with you guys. Think of it as a "thank you for your friendship" party."
"YES" All three said at once. Cronos smiled and started walking away.
"Oh yes, you must bring a mask and think up of a Latin nickname. See y'all tonight at nine o'clock at the club." He waved good-bye and left.
At 9 o'clock…
The Havana night club was at the middle of Amity Park urban area it was close to the movie theater and a walking distance of the bowling alley. Unfortunately it was at the opposite side of town from Danny's house. It didn't matter Danny just used his ghost powers and flew to an alley near by and continued on foot. When he arrived Sam and Tucker were already waiting.
"Sam, Tuck? I barely recognize you!" Danny said in surprise. Sam had a black leather skirt with purple stripes at both sides, a black leather shirt with a purple rose in the middle, and a pair of black shoes. Her mask was thin and barely covered her eyes only; her hair was pulled back by an elastic band with a purple rose. Tucker, on the other hand, had black pants, black shoes, and a red t-shirt, a black jacket, and his usual red hat. His mask was the same one he used in Halloween last year, the one with the glasses and fake nose.
"What's with the mask?" Ask Danny with a worrying glance at Tucker.
"Hey, what was I supposed to do at a less than one day notice?" Danny and Sam laughed at him.
"So Danny; where was it that you got those clothes?" Asked Tucker with a sarcastic smile on his face.
"Oh, well, you know Tuck, Sam gave them to me in my last birthday." Said Danny, hesitantly and as red as an apple. He was completely in black, even his mask was black. At that moment Cronos arrived.
"Hey guys, ready to dance?" And with that they went to the entrance.
"Name?"
"Marcos" Answered Cronos to the Bouncer.
"Next." Danny stepped forward.
"Name?"
"Uh, Daniel?" He answered timidly.
"Nickname you fool!" Danny shrank in his feet he didn't know any Latin names. He then notices Cronos mouthing some words to him.
"Mario!" He quickly blurted out.
"That's Italian, but is acceptable, continue!"
Cronos also mouthed some names to Sam and Tucker so didn't have any problems with the bouncer. The worst was over and the fun was to start.
"Guys, I have to leave you now."
"What? We thought you wanted to hang out with us." Cronos looked down and said.
"I do Tuck, I just have to find someone. But as soon as I'm done with that I'll party with all you want." The three of them were a bit disappointed but the party must go on. As Cronos left Danny approached Sam.
"Hey Sam, you remember the last school dance?" Sam smiled.
"How can I forget, I was turned into a ghost dragon." Danny blushed and started to sweat, a lot.
"Well, I was wondering if you would like to dance with me again." He then reached the reddest blush possible.
"Sure, I'll be glad too." She answers blushing, and she extended her hand to Danny. He takes her hand and they both went to the dance floor.
"Oh great, now what am I supposed to do?" Grumble Tuck as a dark skin colored woman approached him.
"Funny guy, aren't you?" Tuck turned around and saw the woman. (She must be at least twice my age)
"I, well, I just." Tucker muttered. The woman grabbed him by the arm and took him to the dance floor. (Wait until Danny hears about this.)
On the opposite side of the dance floor was Cronos, looking everywhere until he spotted her. (She's the one I saw I my dream.) A small frown form in his face and a tear came out of his eye, too small to be seen. The woman was next to the DJ and he approached her.
"Excuse me, but by any chance are you the Queen of this place?" The woman turned to meet Cronos face right in front of her. Her mask hiding the unsure eyes of this beauty, yet the grin in her face proved other wise. But Cronos knew the truth of her.
"Yes, I am." Cronos took her hand and said "I'm Marcos and I would like to ask you on a date." The woman showed no expression and looked at the DJ.
"Hey Pablo, we have a contestant in our hands!" He looked at Cronos and smiled.
"Hey Chico, you want to date the Queen? You must first get the club's approval."
"What are the conditions?" Cronos asked without surprised with the news.
"Simple, at couples' hour you must sing with our queen a love song in Spanish, if the audience likes you then she's all yours if not we'll kick you out, got it?" Cronos, still unsurprised, accepted and he went backstage with the Queen to plan an act.
Later, at 10 o'clock…
Danny and the other were sitting on table at a corner of the stage everyone in the dance floor was raging until the music came to a sudden stop. The DJ stepped into the stage and yelled out.
"Chicos y chicas, welcome to couples' hour!" Everyone screamed of excitement as they headed to their tables.
"We got a special treat for you tonight. A fool wants to date our Queen." Booing was heard in every corner of the establishment.
"His name is Marcos and as the rule say, we must see how good of a couple they can be. So as every last fool before him, he must sing with the Queen. At the end you decide mi gente, does he go out with her or does he get out of here! So without more interruption lest give him a good luck applause, Marcos and our Queen!" Screams and applause thundered at the club as Marcos came out with the Queen holding hands and the music started. Marcos started.
"Así fue, que hasta la luna nos quiso acompañar.
Se instalo como lo hicimos tú y yo, en el medio del salón
y el tiempo que no estuvo a mi favor, y un beso que duro,
que cuando quise darme cuenta de pronto amaneció.
Hay Dios, te juro que esto nunca me pasó
Si quieres ponte mi chaqueta porque yo,
me muero de calor, que no me cabe dentro el corazón
que se me parte en dos y el cuerpo no resiste tanto amor de un sopetón.
Hay Dios, hay Dios, que no se vaya nunca por favor.
Que no se acabe este momento, no,
que no se pierda en un recuerdo,
que se aparte de mi vida."
The Queen stepped in.
"Así fue, como el sol nos sorprendió sin avisar
Y yo que todavía no lo podía creer, esto no puede ser,
es más hermoso de lo que soñé, y venga un beso más.
Volvimos a la carga una vez más, una vez más."
Then both of them continued singing together.
"Hay Dios, perdona que te meta entre los dos.
Pero a quien puedo pedirle este favor,
que se me quede aquí, porque aquí también pienso morir
y un último favor, hay dime si es que piensa lo que estoy pensando yo.
Hay Dios, hay Dios, que no se vaya nunca por favor,
que no se acabe este momento, no,
que no se pierda un recuerdo,
que se aparte de mi vida."
Marcos kneeled and proceeded on his own.
"Hay Dios, yo te prometo que la cuidare,
Porque esto es lo mejor que pudo pasar."
The Queen made him stand up and continued to sing together.
"Hay Dios, que no se vaya nunca por favor.
Hay Dios, que no se vaya por favor,
que no se acabe este momento, no,
que no se pierda en un recuerdo, hay que dolor.
Hay Dios, que no se vaya nunca por favor.
Hay Dios, que no se vaya por favor,
que no se acabe este momento, no,
que no se pierda en un recuerdo, hay que dolor."
The song ended, the audience stayed still, the DJ move to the stage.
"So mi gente, what do you think? If he's worthy scream your lungs out!"
A second of silence cover the audience, it felt like time stood still, and then a roar of people screaming filled the place.
"The people have spoken! Congratulations, mi amigo, you just got a date with the Queen!"
Both the Queen and Cronos went backstage and behind the curtains the Queen said to him.
"You may have won a date with me but you still don't know who I am in the outside." Cronos looked at her a bit disappointed and then smiled.
"Sure I do, I'll see you tomorrow at school." The woman was speechless so Cronos continued speaking.
"I now you're not exactly the dating type, but I liked you ever since I first saw you. I spoke to Paulina, and sort of tricked her to give me an invitation. I knew that I could get a date with you in her, at least agree to go with me and a couple of my friends next Sunday." The woman still surprised managed to say something.
"How did you find out all that?" Cronos frown a little.
"I know is sort of weird, but after our date you'll know. Don't worry I'm not a stalker. I'll see you tomorrow at school and I'll tell you where and when will meet Sunday." The woman was afraid and yet something telled her to trust him.
"All right, as long there's someone else." Cronos smile and went out. He meted up back with Danny and the others with a thought in his head. (Sunday, the blank day, I wonder what will happen that afterwards my secret will no longer be a secret anymore.)
Cristaldragon: Hello once more, I'm sorry if you didn't get the song it just none of the songs I have in English convinced me for the part. Anyway next chapter there is going to be a double date, and Cronos powers and connection to Clockwork shall be revealed. I will probably be a long chapter so I was wondering if I should do two chapter insted of one.
