The song came to an end as Bupkus complimented Melissa on her voice. "Alright, Melissa! Girl, you got wonderful voice." Melissa smiled, "Aw it's nothing." Bupkus shouts back, "'Nothing'? With a voice like that? Girl, you are amazing; you can seriously blow."
Melissa blushed, "Thanks, Bupkus."
Bupkus sighs, "I don't think I've told you this but Melissa, you got the most sparkling smile I've ever seen." Melissa looks at the purple Monstar all lovingly with shimmering eyes. "Oh Bupkus, I like your smile too." She put her hand gently on Bupkus's arm. Bupkus smiles and felt his heart melting by the touch of Melissa's hand.
He regained himself and cleared his throat. "Uh, Melissa, look into the glove compartment and you'll see a blind fold. Just slip it on." Melissa opens the glove compartment and grabs the blind fold. She puts it on and asked, "Why do I have to wear this?" Bupkus answered, "Remember when I told you tonight is going to be a surprise?" Melissa realized what Bupkus was taking about. "Oh yeah, I remember now."
They finally arrived at the club and Bupkus found a good parking spot. "Alright, we're here. You sit tight and I'll get you out." Bupkus got out and helped Melissa out the car. He held her hand when they got to the front entrance. When they went inside, Bupkus removed the blindfold from Melissa's face, "Here we go. Ta-da!" Melissa was amazed! The club had spotlights, a stage, a dance floor, and a bar.
"Bupkus, this place is incredible!" Melissa exclaimed.
"Well, I'm glad you like it." said Bupkus.
As they walked around looking for a table, Bupkus noticed his friends sitting at a big table. The guys we're also wearing zoot suits looking snazzy. "Oh. Come on, Melissa, I want you to meet my friends." Melissa seemed a little reluctant to meet the other Monstars. Bupkus noticed Melissa looked nervous. He took her hand and gently strokes it with his thumb saying, "Hey, don't worry, sweetie. My friends are cool. I promise you they don't bite." Melissa looked at Bupkus with trust and gave a little smile, and then they walked over there to see them.
"Yo, what it do!" hollered Bupkus. The guys smiled and said hi to Bupkus. "Hey, guys, I like you to meet my date Melissa." Melissa gave a little wave and a kind smile.
Bupkus continued with introducing the guys to Melissa, "Melissa, these are my friends: Pound, Nawt, Bang, and Blanko." She was a little shaky as she approached them, "Hi, guys." The guys said hi back. Then Bang said, "You look a little tense. You gonna be alright?"
Melissa straightened herself up and answered, "Yeah. I'm cool."
Bupkus told the guys, "She's just shy."
Pound said to Melissa, "Awww! Don't be scared, sugar. We don't bite...much." Bupkus glared at Pound and turned to Melissa saying, "He's just kidding, baby." Pound chuckled, "Yeah. I was just playin', but we're really nice guys." The guys made room at the table for Bupkus and Melissa.
"So, Melissa, do you like sports?" asked Blanko.
Melissa exclaimed, "I LOVE sports! I love to go scuba diving, tennis, jogging, and my all-time favorite, basketball."
The guys were impressed by Melissa's fascination with sports. Then Bupkus included, "You guys should see her play! Girl's got MAD skills." Melissa blushed at Bupkus's compliment.
Nawt had a suggestion, "Well you should come over to the gym with us and we can play some basketball together. If you like, I got some pretty cool techniques I can teach you."
"Sure. I would like that very much," Melissa said.
While they were talking, the waiter came over with a huge platter of cheesy beef nachos for the Monstars to eat. The guys started stuffing their faces and cheese all over their faces. Melissa was stocked to see the guys have such a big appetite. Bupkus cleared his throat loudly to get their attention. The guys stopped with what they were doing and noticed Bupkus glaring at them. He growled, "Guys! Where are your matters? We have a lady sitting here with us." The guys looked flushed and swallowed the rest of the nachos in their mouths. They each grabbed a napkin and whipped the cheese off of their faces.
They apologized for their rudeness, "Pardon us, Melissa. We can be such slobs sometimes."
Melissa smiled, "Its cool."
Bupkus offered Melissa a nacho by putting it in her mouth. Then Melissa took a cheesy one and popped it into Bupkus's mouth. Some of the cheese got on his bottom lip, but he licked it off. Melissa laughed a little and Bupkus smiled. The others noticed a special connection between Bupkus and Melissa. They were given grins, winks, and whistles. Bupkus looked at the guys and smirked, "Knock it off."
The band came on stage to play some music. "Melissa, do you like dancing?" asked Nawt.
Melissa answered, "No, I'm not too good at it; I have two left feet."
Blanko saw a little frown on Melissa's face and told her, "Hey, I'm pretty clumsy myself when it comes to dancing, but that doesn't stop me from having a good time. So don't sweat it, dudette; we're here to have fun." Melissa felt better and gave Blanko a smile. "Thanks, Blanko." They began to play some lively jazz music and the Monstars hit the dance floor. Bupkus nod his head to the music and asked Melissa, "May I have this dance?" Melissa smiles, "Yes, you may."
