Chapter 21: The Party To Remember
"I'm ready for the rides!" Haley squeals as the group finishes their breakfast.
"Hales, honey, you and Mouth are the only ones that are ready." Nathan tells her.
She laughs at his sympathetic look. "Okay, then go upstairs and change and we will stay down here. Deal?" She asks.
"Yeah, that's fine. We right back." Peyton says as she grabs Jakes hand. Brooke and Lucas follow.
"Watch her Mouth." Nathan tells him and Haley slaps him playfully.
"No, I thought I would just let her run around wild!" He says.
"Sweet, thanks!" Haley yells.
Nathan shakes his head amused. "I'll be back you two."
"OKAY!" They yell together. Once the 5 are in their building, Mouth and Haley are at the pool area waiting for the rest. It seems to be a huge party. People were dancing around the pool, in the pool, up by the slide, everywhere. Music filled the air. Both Haley and Mouth stood there, taken in the moment. They saw happy faces, heard laughter from every corner, teenagers playing in the pool; a moment of happiness. Haley turned toward Mouth and broke the silence between them.
She smiled widely. "Come on Mouth! Show me that party boy side of you!"
He looked around at the crowd and smiled. Suddenly, E-40's Go Hard or Go Home song came on. "Oh, you are so in for a treat!"
She giggled and took his hand and began dancing. It was a funny sight though; imagine this, both Haley and Mouth dancing to a hip hop song. But they didn't care if people laughed them. They were two friends having fun. Haley was always the worried one out of the bunch. But when you got her in a place where she felt free or believe nothing was impossible, she let loose. Then Mouth was more of the quiet one to everyone else, but all of the people that knew him, knew what he was capable of. He lived life to the fullest, no matter what road blocks he hit, especially with girls. So when you put them together, fun is right where they are.
The song ended and they didn't want to leave. Luckily, everyone didn't show up yet so they stayed for the next song. Before the song came on, the DJ made an announcement.
"Hey all you partyers! How you feelin'?" The crowd screamed. "That's good then. So I'm giving you all an opportunity to have a few minutes of fame. Anyone see the movie Step Up?" He asks and more than half of the crowd screamed. "Good then. You all are familiar with the line dance they do in the movie right?" They screamed again. "Okay then, well we have the song on karaoke and I need someone to sing it and lead off the dance." Suddenly the crowd started laughing and cheering, but no one raised their hand to do it.
To Mouth's amazement, Haley's hand went up. "I'll do it!" She yelled over the crowd.
"All right then, come on up here and get the mike." He said. She did this with a smile on her face. Then just as she was walking up, their five friends showed up.
"Where's Haley?" They asked. Mouth pointed to the stage.
"What's she doing?" Nathan asked confused.
"She's singing and leading off a line dance. You all have to do it. I've done it before. It's really easy. I think the DJ is going to show everyone how to do it before the song starts." Mouth explains to everyone.
"Alright you guys! I'm gonna show the dance before…"
"Haley!" She yells at him.
"Before Haley starts the song. You all ready?"
"YEAH!" The crowd screams.
"Alright. First everyone line up. Then you do two side steps to your right and then the same to your left. After that your feet should be together. Then step with your right foot to the right and then bring it back in. And then kick that same leg back and turn to your left. Next, you take your right leg; bring it up like your marching. When you are doing that move, move your right arm up. Do the same exact thing with your left leg and arm. And then turn around. And you keep doing it." The crowd nods in the recognition of the level of difficulty the dance is. "Okay so let's try it." The DJ looks over at Haley. "You ready?" She nods. "Okay then, start the music and let's keep this party going."
Haley smiles and takes the microphone in hand as the music starts. She takes a glance over at her friends, who are in the group, and giggles at them.
Oh Oh Ohhhhhhh Out on the weekend
Oh Oh
Oh Oh
Oh Oh
Oh no no no
out on the weekend
Out on the weekend
Out on the weekend
She takes one last glance at Nathan and starts to sing and dance.
Let them in, get the lights, let party begin
Mix a little love, get the mood jumpin
From New York to Miami by ten
I think I'm ready to go
High, every time that we hit up our spot
See everyone in line, and they payin a lot
'Cept their payin for the night
cuz the drinks are fixed
But the music is free
You want it, you got it
You need it, but you know you gotta have it boy
The music is freein'
(Out on the weekend, Out on the weekend, weekend)
The crowd is going wild. The dance came easy to all of them. Hey, even Nathan found it to be easy.
This is for the girls comin' from NYC
I'm feelin' you like yous family
And everybody down from LA to BC
Rockin' to the same old CDs
This is for the kids in the clubs and the street
Talkin' bout you work three deity
Get on the dance floor where the music is free
Slip, gone until the dawn's gone with me spoken:
Gone until the dawn's gone with me
Where the music is free
Slip, gone until the dawn's gone with me
(Out on the weekend, on the weekend, weekend)
Now all my ladies,
Move it to the front,
show 'em what you got
The crowd split from guys and girls, and the girls began to show off for the guys. Haley was infront of the ladies group, singing. Ooh, ooh, ooh Fellas?
Oh, Oh ooh
Oh, Oh ooh
Oh, Oh ooh, ooh, ooh
Oh, like that
The guys began to show off what they got, and it worked.
Oh, Oh (x4)
(scratched:
All my ladies, A-A-All my ladies-Oh... ah
All my ladies, A-A-All my ladies-Oh... ah
Oh...
The DJ:
And all my ladies say (Ah, Ah)
And all the fellas say (Ah, Ah)
Everybody say (Ah, Ah)
Come dance with me, ohh (Ah Ah)
Back to Haley: This is for the girls comin' from NYC This is for the girls comin' from NYC Slip, gone until the dawn's gone with me
And they say we all
Dance like this, we have the men in bed and off
Till there mornin', there we go lettin off
Tyler's droppin onto the table top
Once again, you can shake your thang and there aint no cops
I'm feelin' you like yous family
And everybody down from LA to BC
Rockin' to the same old CDs
This is for the kids in the clubs and the street
Talkin' bout you work three diety
Get on the dance floor where the music is free
Slip, gone until the dawn's gone with me
I'm feelin' you like yous family
And everybody down from LA to BC
Rockin' to the same old CDs

Talkin' bout you work three deity
Get on the dance floor where the music is free
Gone until the dawn's gone with me
Where the music is free
Slip, gone until the dawn's gone with me
(Out on the weekend, on the weekend, weekend)
The song ended with cheering from the crowd. Haley took a bow and laughed at how great it turned out. She has never had that much fun in awhile. This whole vacation was amazing. Nathan grabbed her and pulled her into a laughing hug. Everyone laughed and congradulated her.
"Now that the party has started, let's go on some rides!" Peyton said with joy.
"I second that." Mouth said. "Let's go!"
