Bupkus took Melissa's hand as they entered the dance floor. She looked around at a few people dancing, including the other Monstars. She began to move her feet to the music, but seemed a little confused. "You're doing great, Melissa. But you got to loosen up a little. Here let me show you." Bupkus helped her out by taking her hand and moving her all around. He twirled her around in a circle and dipped her. Melissa was blown away by Bupkus's dance. "You're so light on your feet." Bupkus smiled and laughed. Then the music changed to bebop.
Bupkus hollered, "Alright! Now we're cookin'!" and did a spin and slip.
Then he said to Melissa, "Come on, momma! Show me what ya got!" and he tugs Melissa by the hand and they both began to swing. Everyone, including the other Monstars cleared the dance floor for Melissa and Bupkus. Bupkus spinned Melissa really fast, tossed her in the air and caught her in his hands, and flipped her all around. They even did the jitterbug. As the music stopped, everybody applauded and cheered for Bupkus and Melissa's terrific dance.
They guys complimented the couple on their dance. They gave each other high fives, fist bumps, and hugs. They all got back to the table and Melissa drinks some water; she definitely needed a rest from all that dancing. She told Bupkus that she is going to the ladies' room to freshen up. Meanwhile, the guys were talking about Melissa and what they think about her.
"Dude, you were right about Melissa; she's really cool." said Blanko.
"At first, she seemed bashful, but she does manage to open up." Pound nodded.
"Yeah, homegirl is off the chain!" Nawt smiled.
Bupkus is happy that his freinds like Melissa. Then Bang said, "Oh we forgot to ask: how did you two meet?"
Bupkus responded, "The other day I went to the gym saw Melissa all alone shooting hoops. I looked at her and thought, 'Oh, she looks cute. I think I'll go talk to her' and I did. I asked her to play basketball with me but she kind of turned me down. I knew for a fact that deep down, she wants to be with me and is too shy to admit it. So I put on the old charm and had her wrapped around my finger."
After that, Bupkus mentioned something else, "Also, on the way over here, she was singing and sounded wonderful." The other Monstars smiled. Then Nawt glanced at the stage and thought of an idea. "Hey, guys, when Melissa comes back, we can get her to go on stage and sing. I'll go and ask the band backstage if it's okay." Nawt got out from the table and headed backstage. After Nawt left, Melissa came back from the ladies' room and joined the guys.
"Hey, boys I'm back." Bupkus got out and let Melissa in at the table. Melissa noticed the Monstars looking at her with strange smiles. She looked a little spooked and asked, "Why are you all looking at me like that?" Bang answered, "Well Bupkus told us you can sing."
Melissa raised a brow at Bupkus and said, "Oh he did."
Bupkus turned his head away from Melissa blushing and rubbing the back of his neck. She shoved his arm saying, "Bupkus, why did you tell them that?" Bupkus shrugged until Blanko spoke up. "Ah come on, Melissa, it wouldn't hurt to open up more. You told us earlier you couldn't dance, but you manage to get out on the floor and danced with Bupkus. I honestly thought the two of you rock and so did everybody else. So, like, why should it be a problem for to sing aloud?" Melissa thought about it for a second, then sighed, "Okay, you're right, Blanko. I should really get out of my comfort zone."
Blanko gave Melissa a smile then Bang said, "Well, Melissa, you're in luck. Nawt went backstage to talk to the band."
Melissa gasped, "He's what?!"
Then Nawt came back and told Melissa that she can go perform. He yanks Melissa from the table and onto the stage.
As she was up there, the band greeted Melissa with smiles and hellos. "We heard from the little red guy that you're a singer," said the sax player. Melissa blushed and responded, "Yeah." Then the drummer said, "We're about to play the next song; do you know the song "Why don't you do right"? Melissa looked excited and said, "Yes, I do! "Who Framed Roger Rabbit?" is my favorite movie;I know the whole song by heart." The band was glad to hear that Melissa is willing to perform, so they got their instruments ready and Melissa got behind the Mic. The curtains went up and everyone applaud.
