After the success of the opening on Saturday, Ben was glad to have Sunday off. Days weren't usually that busy at the café. Not unless they were having one of their special events. He hoped it wouldn't become a habit here. Either way, it was his brother's problem to deal with today. He, Bruno, and Bruce, had the day off, leaving the younger siblings to help his aunt out.

Things hadn't looked too busy, so they should have been fine. And if things got really bad his aunt would call him or Bruce (the best two in the kitchen) back to help out. Right now however he didn't have to worry about that. What he did have to worry about was something much worse in his opinion.

A high school party.

It wasn't a secret that Ben wasn't much of a social guy. So parties generally weren't his thing. He preferred to stay at home and chill with a few friends rather than go to a gathering with loads of people screaming and dancing. But after Friday's big football game someone had seen fit to through a house party to celebrate, and Bruno had wanted to go.

He'd tried to convinced Bruce and Ben to go as well. Bruce had reluctantly decided to come since he was technically one of the MVPs of the game. Ben on the other hand wanted nothing to do with it. He was going to sit home and, write some lyrics, and maybe play a few games of Overwatch. Or at least he was until he got a text from a certain brown haired rocker.

Ben couldn't prove it, but he was sure Bruno had gotten her to contact him somehow. And as much as he hated to admit it, that girl pretty much had him under his thumb. So when she had asked him and Olly to come along, he really didn't have a say in the matter. Now here he getting ready for some dumb high school party. This was a waste of a Sunday.

He came downstairs with a scowl on his face. He spotted Bruno looking over his reflection in the window, and Bruce sitting at a table typing on his laptop. The eldest Brittle brother noticed him coming down and smiled. "Yo little brother. You ready to throw down?" he asked.

"Screw you…" he muttered. "Using Luna was a dirty trick…"

Bruno patted him on the back. "Oh come on. I had to find some way to get you out of the house. This is going to be your first big high school party. I wasn't going to let you miss it," he said before looking over him. "So… you're dressing like always huh?"

"Don't see why I shouldn't," Ben said yawning. Now that he thought about it, Bruno had dressed a little different. He was wearing a different shirt, and jeans. Which was a rare sight.

"You could have jazzed it up a bit. I'm not saying you need a suit and tie, but you could have tried and stuck out a little man."

"Bruce didn't."

"Bruce never dresses up for anything. He'd show up to a wedding in that if auntie didn't threaten him."

"Don't drag me into this…" Bruce muttered.

Bruno rolled his eyes and then nudged Ben. "I'm telling you, you're going to regret not trying to look your best. Girls notice even that slight little extra effort you know."

"Unlike you I'm not going just to scout for a girlfriend… actually I'm not going for any reason at all! Seriously, why'd you drag me into this?"

Ben couldn't say he wasn't used to crowds, but he wasn't really used to being in the middle of them. When he served at the café he was constantly moving in between sitting costumers, and when he was on stage he was just standing in front of them. But being right in the middle where everyone would be bumping and spilling stuff onto him… not appealing.

"You need a social life little brother. Both of you," he said nodding towards Bruce. "Besides, you get to hang out with Luna some more. That's a plus isn't it?"

Ben scowled. "Knock it off. I told you it wasn't like that." Ever since that weird feeling in his gut yesterday he'd been just a bit more on edge when it came to his brothers mentioning Luna. He was just getting sick of the teasing he guessed. "I'm serious. Don't spout any crap when she gets here."

Bruno held his hands up. "Alright, alright. Speaking of which, when are they supposed to be getting here?" he asked looking at the clock. They had offered to give the girls a ride since their family van was more than a little unreliable. As if in direct response to Bruno's question, they heard the bell at the front door go off. "Speak of the devil."

Lori and Leni walked in looking more dressed up than usual. They weren't overdressed or anything, but you could tell they put a bit more effort into picking out their outfits and doing their makeup. "Hey guys," Lori greeted. Her hair was wavier than usual, and she had on a blue hairband with a rose on the side of it. She was also wearing pink lipstick.

"You guys look nice. You ready to party? Cause I totes am!" Leni said excitedly. She was wearing a light blue dress and snow boots, and her hair was curled at the end.

"You girls look nice. Planning on turning some heads this evening?" Bruno asked.

"Turn heads? I thought we were going to party?" Leni asked.

"It's just a saying Leni. It means people will think you're so pretty they'll turn their heads to look at you," Ben explained. He found it the easiest to break things down to Leni. He wasn't much different from her when he was younger. Still, he made a quick mental note to recommend an ADHD prescription to Luna about the blonde.

"Oh… That makes sense."

Bruno looked around for a moment. "Isn't one of you missing?"

Lori sighed before turning around and heading back out the door. "Hold on a sec. Luna's all embarrassed since we actually bothered helping her pick out a decent outfit and doing her makeup. She says it's not her style. Would you please tell her she looks fine?"

The blonde reached outside of the door and began dragging her younger sister in. "No way, this was too much dudes…" Luna groaned.

"We barely put anything on you. It's your first really big high school party. You need to make an impression. Ben, tell her she looks fine."

"You look fine Luna."

"You didn't even look!"

Ben sighed. It wasn't like he really needed to look to know Luna was pretty. All the Loud sisters were. Why was this such a big… he stopped and his eyes widened when Lori pushed her forward. Was that… was that Luna? Well, obviously it was, but… wow.

She was wearing a black t-shirt, a red checker patterned skirt, and white boots. Her usual purple eye shadow was red and she had just a little, almost unnoticeable, bit of makeup on. Was she wearing lip gloss? "It's just a party dudes, I could have worn what I always do."

"No way! This isn't just any party. It's for the homecoming game, and it's being thrown by Mason Hays, which means everyone is going to be there. So the Loud sisters are going to be the most stunning girls present."

Luna sighed. "You are so lucky your bros don't force you into stuff like this… Dude?" Luna asked nervously. He kept staring at her, and she blushed. "Ben c'mon, you're freaking me out man…"

A flash suddenly went off and Ben whipped his head towards the counter. His aunt was holding a camera and smiling. "Got it!"

"Auntie!" Ben snapped.

"Sorry! I'll just be going now! See ya!" she said as she made her way back into the kitchen. "You kids have fun… but not too much fun! I'm not ready to be a great aunt yet!"

Ben groaned and covered his face with his hands, and then looked back towards Luna. "Uh… sorry I was just… uh sort of surprised and… not used to you looking so…"

Luna looked at him nervously as she waited for an answer, and her sisters smiled. Bruno leaned in next to him and whispered in his ear. "Pick your next words very carefully little brother…" he warned.

"Uh… girly?" he asked weakly.

Bruno slapped his face while Lori and Leni waved their hands from behind their younger sister. Luna frowned. "So what? I usually don't look like a girl?" she asked crossing her arms.

"No!" Ben said quickly, his face turning red. "I just mean you don't usually wear a lot of makeup and stuff! You look really pretty… well, you always look pretty. But prettier than usual. Smoking hot actually."

Luna looked at him surprised. "Oh."

"Aw," Lori and Leni cooed.

"Nice save little bro," Bruno said smirking.

Ben could feel his face getting warmer by the second. "Yeah, okay. That's all well and good. Can we just get going now?" he asked heading for the door. He wasn't about to give his family, or himself for that matter, any chance to further embarrass him.

"He's right, we don't want to be too late," Lori said. "Let's get going!"

"Whoa…"

Ben and Luna both looked at the house completely stunned. Luna had known Mason Hays was the wealthiest kid in school but she had still assumed he lived in a house, not a mansion. The sheer size alone was stunning. There was well over a hundred people here already, and the party was pretty much in full swing.

There was a huge buffet table with just about every type of party food you could think of, a number of TV's that people were watching and playing games on, and… was that a stage?! They had a stage in the living room! "Son of a bitch…" Ben said looking around. "What do this guy's parents do for a living? Is it legal?"

"His dad is some big wig at a sales company or some nonsense like that. Either way, he throws totally killer parties. I told you guys this was going to be your first big high school party, didn't I?" Lori said before pulling out her phone. "Now, you guys have fun. I'm going to go take a few pics to show to Bobby-bear!"

The blonde headed off towards who knows where, leaving the group behind. "I'm going to check out the buffet. Catch you guys later." Bruno said heading off.

Bruce hummed. "Going to go check out the sound equipment." And he was gone.

Luna turned towards where Leni was. "So I guess that's just… and she's gone…"

"Should we be worried about that?" Ben asked.

"Nah, she can take care of herself," Luna said before glancing around. "So, what do you want to do first? Should we try finding Olly?"

"Not if he finds you first."

Ben and Luna jumped slightly before turning around to see Oliver heading towards them, and walking alongside him was a girl around their age. She was Asian, and had long rather untamed jet black hair with a red streak running through it. She wore a black tank top with the words 'wild child' written across it in cursive, green baggy cargo pants, and brown sandals.

"Hey guys," Oliver greeted. "Was wondering when you would get here. I wanted to introduce you. This is my girlfriend Kimiko."

The girl offered a peace signed. "Yo, nice to meet ya. Just call me Kimi," she said smirking at them. "So you guys are my Olly's new friends huh? I saw you guys on that video. You two totally rock."

Ben smiled. "Thanks. Nice to meet you too."

"Pleasures all mine dude," Luna said nodding her head towards her.

"So, you guys ready to bring the house down! I'm going to dance the night away!" she said grabbing Oliver's arm. He blushed slightly, but smiled anyhow. "What about you guys?"

Ben and Luna shared a glance. "Uh… I'm not really much for big crowds," Ben said nervously.

Luna shrugged her shoulders. "Guess we'll just chill over here then. You two crazy kids have fun though," she said winking at them.

"Alright then, catch you later!" Kimi said before dragging Oliver off.

Ben whistled as he watched his friend go. "Man, I hate to admit it but I didn't think Olly's girlfriend would be that hot."

"I know. Kids boxing above his weight class. But good for him. Dude must have some seriously romantic skills to hit it off with a girl like her," Luna said.

"You know, if you wanted to go dance you can. I'll be fine on my own." He didn't want to feel like he was dragging her down or anything.

"You kidding? I can't leave my partner in crime behind. This place is bumping, but it'd still be totally boring without you. So, what do you want to do?"

Ben felt a bit touched by the compliment, then glanced around for a few seconds. His eyes stopped at one of the TV's. "No way…" He grabbed Luna's shoulders and turned her around, and her eyes widened.

"Dance Dance Rebellion! That came to console?" Luna asked as they walked towards where the small crowd was gathered.

"I don't think it has…" As they got closer that saw that it was the game wasn't hooked up to a console, but the actual arcade machine was hooked up to the TV. "Seriously? How rich is this guy? We should try to get booked by him. I know it's not Guitar Gladiators, but want to go for it?" Ben asked.

She raised her eyebrows and smirked. "Thought you weren't a dancer?"

"I said I didn't do crowds. I never said I couldn't dance. I'm Samoan, half our culture is about dancing," he said shrugging his shoulders. "Now you on the other hand. I know you can sing, but can you dance?"

"Just you wait and see Brittle."

They made their way to the front of the crowd and saw Leni spinning around in front of the screen. She game to a stop and posed, and the screen lit up with bright colors. "NICE JOB! SCORE: 'DANCE GURU'! YOU GOT THE MOVES!"

Leni clapped happily as Luna and Ben looked towards each other. "When did she-?"

"Don't think too hard on it dude," Luna said waving her hand. "Besides, you need to focus on how you're going to cope with this major but whooping your about to take."

"Like I said Loud, dancing is in the culture," he said cracking his neck.

One of the kids who was standing near machine had a microphone. "Okay folks, let's give a hand for Leni Loud, girl can groove!" he said as he and some of the others clapped. "So, who wants to try and follow up?" he asked. He looked down and saw Luna and Ben standing in the front. "Uh-oh! Is that a Loud and a Brittle I see down there?"

The two of them could practically feel everyone's eyes suddenly turning towards them. "Well folks, we know they can rock, but do they got the moves to go with the grooves!" the boy hyped up. The crowd started cheering and patting them both on the back as they went up. Ben stepped up first and then offered his hand to Luna, who took it before being pulled up.

"Well, might as well put on a show," Ben said shrugging his shoulders.

"Like we could do anything else," she quipped back.

The two of them went up to the machine, and Ben looked over the arrows on the pad. He wasn't as good at this as he was at Guitar Gladiators, but he that didn't mean he was planning on losing. "DOUBLE DANCE MODE! CHOOSE YOUR SONG!"

"Random?" Ben asked.

"Random," Luna answered.

The screen faded to black for a moment, and suddenly the music started. A countdown began on the screen, and the two started to move when it got down to one, the crowd cheering behind them.

"Got me something true now,

I'm not looking anymore!

The times of fakin' love are through now

Sharing real connections are what we're made for!"

Ben and Luna both easily nailed the steps as the song suddenly began to pick up.

"Come on, let go of the remote

Don't you know you're letting all the junk flood in?

I try to stop the flow,

Double-clicking on the go

But it's no use hey, I'm being consumed

And I went with the flow,

Double trouble on the go,

Posers kept posing,

I'm opposing against these foes!

Please know,

I'm the roses that grew out,

from the concrete jungle!"

The two were still managing to keep up with the much quicker pace of the song, and everyone behind them was cheering loudly. Ben smiled down Luna, who smirked back. The two were moving perfectly in sync, stepping, jumping, and turning exactly where they needed to be. It was almost like they were playing on stage together.

"Not a day goes by without me thinking 'bout

The way the world stopped mid-motion!

When you walked into my life and we connected

Like we shared the same mad potion!

Couldn't help but move,

The threads of fate had spun us

Into each other's lives by chance!

All this energy's got us inspired now!

We couldn't stop it,

Just set it free and...

Dance!"

Ben and Luna both tried to catch their breath as the song slowed down just a bit. They could hear clapping from the ground. "Yeah! That's my brother!" Bruno shouted.

"You're killing it Luna!" Lori yelled.

"We got something strong now!

We're not hiding anymore!

The times of phony love are gone now!

Only special friends come in through our door!

Live a real life

Don't be possessed by whoever

No time to waste

Keep on moving

Whether on or off the beat,

It don't matter if you never give up

Life keeps on grooving!

Embrace a heartbeat and step to it step to it

Connect with it hold it tight

Spider web to it

Told you once

Ain't nobody can hold me down!"

The two suddenly jumped over, switching places, but still keeping up with the beats. Everyone whooped, impressed by the quick switch. Ben was feeling much looser now. Usually he screwed up by now, but he was doing really well. This wasn't too different from when he was playing.

"Not a day goes by

Without me feeling thankful

'Bout our profound devotion

Since you walked into my life and all around me

Everything just stopped mid-motion!

Like a high wire act,

No compromise with truth,

The radiant intensity we share!

All this energy's got us inspired now,

Wanna dance!

Wanna share this magic bond

Like we shared the same mad potion

When you walked into my life and we connected

Like we shared a magic dance!"

Ben suddenly reached out and grabbed Luna's hand. She looked slightly surprised, but went with it when he pulled her closer and the two started dancing across both sets of arrows. He spun her around and bit and she laughed.

"Straight away,

Going my way

Let the nonchalant be commandant to themselves

But we're taking over,

Making over,

The lame shame claim they make,

Game's over!

Is it a spell or magic?

Imagine what happens different age different passion

What I'm asking I can't call it,

If I ain't got my crew I won't be dancing!"

The two moved around each other, missing some of the arrows but not really caring at this point. Everyone was still cheering. They were hitting way more than expected, and they were putting on a good show too.

"So baby go for it

Feel the vibe

Gonna touch down make this dive

It keeps me alive

The melody

The flow

The beat

The heart

Together we ride!

All this energy's got us inspired now,

We couldn't stop it, just set it free and...

Dance!"

The two came to a stop, smiling despite how hard they were panting from their loss of breath. Ben chuckled a bit, and soon Luna was laughing as well. For a moment they were just laughing and staring at one another. "MATHMETICAL! YOUR SCORE: 'DOUBLE DANCE MASTERS'! WAY TO GET YOUR GROOVE ON!"

The game score seemed to snap them out of their stares, and they turned back to the screen before smirking at each other once more. "Nice! So now we know the Glass Bandits got some killer dance moves to go with those killer jams! Give it up for Ben and Luna guys!"

Everyone clapped as the two jumped down from the stage. "Sorry about that bit at the end, I guess I got a little carried away," Ben said blushing slightly.

"Nah, it's cool dude. It was fun. You really meant it when you said you could dance. You know you'd probably kill on a real dance floor," she said nudging him.

"Yeah?" he asked looking a little hopeful. "Well, if you still want we could-"

"Luna!"

They turned their heads and saw Sam running up towards them. "That was so awesome! You guys were amazing! Did you plan that?" she asked excitedly.

Luna blushed at the sight of the blonde. "N-nope. Totally on the fly."

"Well it was pretty cool. You got to show me some moves sometime!"

Ben offered a weak smile towards her. There it was, that feeling in his gut again. The same one from yesterday and earlier this morning. He definitely knew he wasn't hungry, and he was feeling fine just a moment ago. What was this?

"Thanks," Ben said waving. He saw Luna shuffling nervously and then patted her on the shoulder. "Hey, that got me kind of hungry. I think I'm going to head to the buffet. You cool without me for a few minutes?" he asked.

Luna looked up at him surprised. With him being gone that meant that she and Sam would be alone. "Uh… yeah. Get your grub on dude. We'll catch up with you later."

"Cool."

He headed off, a smile on his face. A smile which quickly faded the moment Luna turned away to talk with Sam. He felt… bad right now. But why? Okay, so maybe he had wanted to dance with Luna before Sam came, but it wasn't a big deal, was it? He had just gotten his friend alone time with the girl she liked. He did a good thing. So what the hell was he feeling so bad for?

"God damn it…"

A/N: Hey guys! Hope you enjoyed the chapter. The song for the dance scene was called 'Dance' by Lotus Juice and Shihoko Hirata. It's also the opening for Persona 4: Dance All Night. I highly recommend giving it a listen. It seemed like the perfect type of song to be on one of those dance machines.

So, Ben is starting to get that feeling again? What could it possibly be? Well, we're going to find out next chapter. Until then, reviewer responses!

BlankBlankBlankityMcBlank: Point taken. I'll be sure to think a bit more carefully about the songs from now on. I can't say all of them will be within that genre, but you're right. It would fit Luna's character more. Thanks for the advice!

tylerchavis97: Thanks for the advice, but these bonus chapter will mostly be focusing on Luna and Ben, and since their just meant to be small little treats there probably won't be so much detail towards their appearance. But I'll probably end up using some of Lincoln's Pokemon, since I had an idea about having a gym run by all of the Loud siblings where the challengers picks three of them to go against. Thanks for reading!

And I plan to put a bit more into Beck and Luan's relationship. I might even make a bonus chapter about their first April Fool's together.

lttlgreg: Thanks, hope it lives up to your expectations when it comes! Thanks for reading.
