Stanley's Mind – CoCo Bongo Nightclub

Stanley felt like the luckiest man in the world as he followed the Mask down towards the Casino. As he walked slowly down he turned his head to his left and then to his right.

"My God what did I do to end up with these hot green headed babes?" He asked himself as a large smile appeared on his face. As he came back to reality he noticed that both the mask, himself.

Peggy and Meg neared the bottom of the stairs; straight in front of them were a large set of glass double door that led into the casino. Walking in front of Stanley the mask waited for them. As he reached the door Stanley peered thought.

"Wow that casino sure looks busy Mask." The mask turned and smiled at him.

"I bet that you and the girls can't wait to go inside can you?" Both Peggy and Meg turned their heads towards him and smiled. The Mask then smiled back at them as he led the way inside.

Stanley couldn't believe how large the casino was and how many things there were. In one corner of the room there was a bar for members only. Beside that there was a large row of slot machines.

Opposite that there was a Black Jack table and a poker table and near to the end there was a Roulette Wheel where a large crowd had gathered. As they made their way inside The Mask turned his head to Stanley and the girls.

"Why don't you and the girls have a look around Stanley?" Stanley looked at him with a puzzled look on his face.

"Mask darling," Peggy asked in a sharp voice.

"Are you trying to purposely get rid of Stanley, myself and Meg?" The mask smiled at her and raised both of his hands.

"No babe it's just I'm going up to the bar to get some drinks what would you all like?" Meg then interrupted him as she felt like he wants to get rid of them.

"Why can't we join you and Stanley together Mask?" She asked in an angry tone. The Mask looked at her and smiled.

"You could Meg my dear," he said as he walked up to her.

But I am afraid that the bar is for members only." As he said this both Meg and Peggy lowered their heads. The Mask then looked at them with a sad look on his face.

"Hey babes why the sad faces?" Meg looked up at him with a sad look on her face.

"Both me and Peggy wanted to be with both you and Stanley babe." Hearing this; the Mask smiled at her.

"Meg, both you and Peggy need to be with Stanley as he is new to all of this now if you will excuse me." Before both she and Peggy could say anything the Mask ran to the bar and out of sight. As he did this Peggy turned her green head and looked up at Stanley.

"At least we've got you all to ourselves Stanley darling." Stanley looked at her as she rested her large green head on his chest. He then turned his head towards Meg who was now doing the same; growing impatient Stanley cleared his throat and said in a loud clear voice.

"What do you girls want to do now that we're waiting?" At this Meg looked up at him smiling.

"How about going up and having a go on that Roulette wheel?" Peggy then turned and smiled back at Stanley.

"No darling what about trying your luck on that Poker table?" Stanley looked at that and gave them both a puzzled look.

He then looked right in front of him, and there right in the middle of the Casino was a large dance floor. Above it there was a large disco ball spinning around and shinning a cascade of multi colored lights around the room. Stanley then turned his head to both Peggy and Meg who were smiling at him.

"Would you girls mind if I have a dance?" He asked them both in a low but polite voice. Meg turned her head to Peggy and then back to Stanley.

"Of course not Stanley babe," she said as she laughed softly.

"Take your time darling and once you have finished then meet us both, we'll be waiting for you at the Poker Table." They both then walked off leaving Stanley alone to do his own thing.

As soon as he saw that they were gone Stanley made his way towards the disco room. As he approached he could see a large group of people dancing many of them were women. As he made his way inside he felt a hand on his shoulder.

"Hey there handsome," a woman's voice say.

"I haven't seen you here before is it; your first time?" Stanley turned and saw an attractive young woman, she was tall slim built and had medium long black hair.

She was wearing a light green mini dress and on her finger nails she had lime green nail polish; she stood there smiling at him. Stanley smiled back at her and gave her a wink.

"Yes it's my first time here babe," he said in a confident loud voice as he stood in front of her. The woman stood there as she looked at him smiling as she did.

"Are you going to dance if so would you like to join me?" Stanley thought that his ears might have bust as she asked him this question.

"Dancing well I would love too." He said as he grabbed both of her hands and pulled her up to the dance floor.

As they climbed onto the dance floor Stanley grabbed hold of both the young woman's hands and began spinning her around.

"Hey this isn't dancing you idiot!" She yelled at him in an angry voice.

"Let me go right now!" Stanley stopped for a moment and then threw her up over his head. There was a loud bang followed by a crash as the women's head got stuck inside the disco ball; Stanley looked up.

"Oops," he said as he walked slowly away.

"My bad," he said to himself as he walked towards the poker table where both Meg and Peggy where waiting for him.

Stanley couldn't believe what he had just done as he made his way towards the Blackjack table. As he walked towards it he could see that a large crowd of both men and women had gathered around it.

As he looked at the crowd Stanley began turning his head trying to find both Peggy and Meg. As he was doing this he heard a familiar voice calling his name.

"Stanley," it shouted, hearing this Stanley turned his head and his mouth dropped open.

Standing a few yards away from him with a tray of alcoholic drinks in one hand was the Mask; Stanley gulped as he stepped towards him smiling.

"Where have you been?" He asked him in an excited and happy voice. Stanley looked at him and lowered his head.

"Sorry Mask I've just been a bit busy on that dance floor over there." The Mask looked at him and smiled.

"I heard that there was an accident," he said in as he covered his mouth with one hand trying not to laugh.

"Were you involved in that by any chance Stanley?" He asked as he let out laughter.

"I might have been," Stanley said in a sharp voice.

"Why does it matter to you?" The Mask smiled at him and gently hit him on his back.

"Relax Stanley as I am just playing with you" he said as he put one of his arms over Stanley's shoulders

"Come on I think that it is time that we both catch up with the girls don't you agree?" Stanley turned his head to the mask and nodded in agreement.

They then walked slowly towards the Blackjack table and the crowd. As they passed the crowd Stanley saw both Meg and Peggy sitting down by the table. As they both got nearer to them Peggy stood up and started waving one of her hands.

"Stanley, Mask darling we are both over here." Seeing and hearing her doing this both Stanley and the Mask made their way over to the two women.

As they were both doing this the crowd turned toward them in amazement, Stanley looked over at them and smiled he then turned towards Meg and Peggy and finial the Mask.

"Why is this crowd so interested in us?" He asked in a puzzled voice.

"I mean they should be used to seeing three Masks around shouldn't they?" Meg then looked at him and smiled.

"The crowd isn't interested in us Stanley baby, they are interested in you." Stanley looked at her in amazement.

"Why me because I'm no one and I've always been no one?" Peggy then came up to him and put one of her hands around his waist.

"Stanley sweetie darling, you are special you just don't know it." Stanley gave her another puzzled look.

"I'm special how do you make that one out?" He asked her in a puzzled voice, Meg then interrupted.

"Because you found The Mask Stanley mi amor," Stanley then turned his head at both women and smiled.

"So you want me to test my luck then?" Both women smiled and nodded; as they did this Stanley made his way up to the table followed by The Mask.

As he made his way to the table Stanley could see three large men sat down, he then turned to the Mask.

"Take a look at them Mask," the Mask looked at him and smiled.

"Don't worry about them Stanley you can beat them." Hearing him saying this Stanley made to a chair. As he did this one of the men looked at him menacing.

"Back off from this table only real men allowed here not sissies." Stanley eyed him closely.

"What's the matter punk, are you afraid I might beat you?" At this the man slammed his hand down hard on the table.

"Why you little," you said in an angry voice.

"I should kill you for saying that?"

"Relax Jake," another man said who was sitting nearest to him.

"This loser doesn't stand a chance so take no notice of him."

"Are we going to play cards or what?" Another man asked. Stanley then took his seat and was handed a deck. Carefully he looked at them as he picked them up.

At the Blackjack Tables – A Hour Later

It was getting toward the end of the game and Stanley has won a large mound of money. He smiled at each of the men sitting at the table; Jake looked at him jealous of the fact that he had won some much.

"God why did I ever bother to play with you when you cheated?" He said angrily as Stanley collected his winnings.

"Cheated?" Stanley said in a surprised voice.

"How dare you think that," he said as he stood up knocking the chair over.

"Do you want a fight or what?" Jake looked at him and laughed, but his laughter was cut short as he saw The Mask coming over.

"Looks like you've done it Stanley," The Mask said as he held out his hand for Stanley to shake.

"Thanks Mask I couldn't have done it without you." Stanley said as he took hold of the Masks hand. For a moment they just looked at each other smiling.

"Hey do you fancy celebrating with a song?" The Mask said with a smile, Stanley looked at him and smiled back.

"I would love to, what did you have in mind?" Hearing this from Stanley the Mask started spinning around into a mini twister.

This lasted for a few moments and once it had died down he stood in front of Stanley wearing a blue colored shirt with long blue colored arms and black colored trousers. On his head he was wearing a black colored hat and in his hands he was holding a pair of blue maracas.

"I was thinking about maybe singing a little number called Cuban Pete would you be interested in joining me?" Stanley gave the Mask another smile.

"Yes," he said in a loud and confident voice.

"Let's began then shall we Mask. The Mask gave him a grin and then started dancing, then at the top of his voice he started to sing.

They call me Cuban Pete. I'm the king of the rhumba beat.
When I play the maracas I go chick-chicky-boom, chick-chicky boom
Yes sir, I'm Cuban Pete. I'm the craze of my native street.
When I start to dance, everything goes chick-chicky-boom, chick-chicky boom

The senoritas they sing and how they swing with this rumbero,
It's very nice, so full of spice.
And when they're dancing they bring a happy ring the maraquero,
El maraquero singin' a song, all the day long.

Chorus:

So if you like the beat, take a lesson from Cuban Pete

And I'll teach you to chick-chicky-boom, chick-chicky-boom.
Seeing him doing this Stanley joined in and as they both did this a crowd of people started to gather, from the crowd they both noticed a young woman coming towards them, she was wearing a long purple dress which seemed to sparkle. She had long blonde colored hair and was wearing purple makeup, she smiled at them both and then incredibly burst into song.

He's really a modest guy, although he's the hottest guy
In Havana, in Havana.

Both Stanley and The Mask seemed to enjoy themselves as the woman danced with them both. As she was doing this however Stanley turned his head towards the crowd and noticed both Peggy and Meg coming toward them, from the look on both of their faces they weren't happy.
