"Hello folks! This is the day you have been waiting for! That's right; today we do the semifinals and the finals! You people in the audience will be the judges of who gets to advance by voting. Oh, you know what the semifinals are? Each remaining girl will dance with their partner in 'Dance of Romance.' You excited? I sure am! Now let it begin!"
"Well said, Mic!" Dewey picked up cue cards. "Okay, the first couple is…Rapunzel and Flynn Rider!"
"Hey…it's Eugene now. Thank you."
After Eugene's remark, the lights dimmed until there were soft colors lighting the stage in a disco ball style. An instrumental version of I See the Light began and the young lovers began to glide in a slow version of the dance they attempted at the kingdom dance but did not get to experience. They sidestepped in a circular motion while Rapunzel twirled holding Eugene's hand occasionally. It ended with Rapunzel facing the audience while her arms were crossed, held in Eugene's arms.
After the applause died down, Huey spoke up. "Next up is…Mulan and Shang!"
As an instrumental Honor to Us All started, Mulan walked out with a fan in each hand while Shang carried a long strip of red silk. Throughout their routine, Mulan moved the fans in a mime manner while occasionally covering her face and folding that fan to reveal different expressions. Shang's red silk was wrapped around her waist and whenever the music changed he would gently tug to gracefully guide her to another spot on the stage. At the end of the song, Mulan got on one knee with her fans raised high above her head and Shang placed his hands around hers.
Louie's turn came. "Now, who do we have next? None other than…Jasmine and Aladdin!"
A long carpet unrolled itself onto the stage and Jasmine walked out like a belly dancer. Aladdin came behind while playing a flute that a snake charmer uses. Aladdin went into different moods and swings of musical notes as Jasmine matched her movements to the changes. The music changed abruptly to an instrumental Friend Like Me, Aladdin tossed the flute aside and both engaged in freestyle hip hop that ended with them on their knees while confetti showered them from above.
Dewey moved on with, "Next up, we're bringing you…Belle and the Beast!"
A pop instrumental of their song started before Belle and the Beast walked through the curtain. They slow-danced in circles while sometimes letting go of one hand and stretching to the side. Beast picked Belle up by her waist and twirled her in the air. The dance ended with Beast dipping Belle romantically.
Huey introduced the final dance pair. "And now, last but not least…Esmeralda and Phoebus!"
The music for Topsy Turvy began as Phoebus walked from one side of the stage to another carrying a long piece of red fabric. Esmeralda twirled and cartwheeled across like a tightrope walker. As she neared the edge, she leaped into Phoebus' arms as the dropped his end of the fabric. He spun her before setting her feet on the ground. Esmeralda a smaller piece of fabric out of her sleeve and wrapped it around Phoebus' waist. Then she raised it up to his neck before he grabbed one end of it and they began dancing only touching each other with that cloth. They ended their round by throwing it out to the audience.
"Right! Now use your gadgets to start voting."
The audience followed Mic's instructions all the while, the five remaining girls waited in anticipation for the results.
A/N: I hate writer's block! Anyway, I don't know much about dancing, so I don't think this is my best chapter. Luckily, there are only two more chapters left. BTW House of Mouse often switched different forms of the characters so that explains Flynn being called Eugene while Beast is still a beast. Also, I replaced the last chapter with an extra scene in case you want to read that. Okay, thanks for reading!
