Madi groaned as she was rudely awakened by the harsh, invading sunlight. Someone was in the room, and whining very loudly. She could hear the groans and moans of both Hannah and Kara, so she knew she was not the only violated one.
"Rise n' shine, littl' one." came a sneer.
Madi cracked open an eye and shuddered. "Ew! It's Nini! In my room! It's a nightmare! Pinch me!"
Both Hannah and Kara abided happily, and Madi shot out of bed with pain. "Oowww!" she howled. "I didn't mean for you to actually do it!"
Nini cackled in a corner, and Madi glared, rubbing both arms that had been so brutally pinched. "Gee, Nini, isn't a little too early to be acting like a heinous ba-witch?"
"Witch, witch, you're a ba-witch! Witch, witch, you're a ba-witch!" chorused Hannah and Kara.
"Wow, watch Pratical Magic recently?" Madi said sarcastically, for Madi is not a happy camper when rudely awakened and without her caffeine. "Must- have- cafe- con- leche." she moaned.
"Your queen has requested your presence." said Nini bitingly.
"Oh, S'tine? Kay-kay. We'll be there in uno momento. We have to get dressed- and I think Madi really does need caffeine." said Kara, looking nervously at Madi, who had slid to the floor and was now twitching.
Nini left, and Kara and Hannah watched Madi. "Twitching is bad, I think." said Hannah slowly. Kara nodded.
~*~
A half-an-hour later, the girls were dressed and wide awake, due to the magic of coffee. Madi was now buzzing around like a possessed bumblebee, and ran up the stairs ahead of them to Christian's garret. She knocked a little tune. "Shave n' a haircut-" she sang.
Christian opened the door. Madi, irritated, knocked two times. "Two bits! You're supposed to finish it!" Madi pouted, but since she was on caffeine, immediately smiled. "Woo, I don't care. I'm in the zone, man. Whee!" Madi tangoed into the room.
Christian cocked an eyebrow at Madi, and looked to Hannah and Kara for an explanation.
"Don't look at us." said Kara.
"Uh," Satine started as she was led around the room in a tango with Madi. "What have you done to Madi?"
"Ooh, I'm fine." said Madi as she let go of Satine and started to cha-cha. "I just gotta dance!" Madi burst into a short tap-dance routine, gave it up when she saw how bad she was, and started to hum. "Dale a tu cuerpo alegria Macarena, que tu cuerpo es pa' darle alegria y cosa buena, dale a tu cuerpo alegria Macarena, ehhhh, Macarena!" She suddenly stopped. "Guys, we have to leave today, right?"
Hannah and Kara nodded sadly, and Satine pouted.
"Well, why don't we leave this joint with a bang, what do you say?"
"Haven't we already scared them enough?" asked Hannah.
Madi grinned evilly. "There's no such thing."
~*~
Kara looked down at her little black-lacy number she was wearing. "Uh, Madi, don't you think this is a little extreme?"
Madi emerged from behind the curtain, wearing an identical outfit in red. She wore a frightening amount of diamonds, and her eyeshadow looked a tad frightening. "Nah." she said.
Hannah appeared behind Madi, wearing the same thing in white. "Boy, my mother would have a cow if she saw me in this."
"Ditto." agreed both Madi and Kara.
Satine rushed up to the girls. "Are you guys ready? the crowd out there is going nuts." She smiled ruefully. "I wonder what they're going to do tomorrow when they find out it's only me again."
Madi patted Satine consolingly. "Don't worry, darling, it'll be alright."
The stage manager, who looked like he could seriously use both an inhaler and a massage, breathlessly started to whine. "What are you girls still doing here? You should have been out there ten seconds ago!"
"I could argue," sighed Hannah. "But it would take too much effort, and I need all the energy I can get with what Madi has planned."
"What are you girls doing?" asked Satine.
Kara waved a finger. "You'll see. C'mon, girls."
The three stalked out to the middle of the dance floor, safe in a ring created of benevolent Moulin Rouge performers. The audience cheered.
"Alright, alright, we're here! You can relax. Now, this is our final night here-" the crowd moaned quite loudly. "And we're gonna make a damn good time of it! Now, HIT IT!"
The music started, and Madi, Hannah and Kara put one arm out, then the next. Then they cross their arms across their chest, putting their hands on their shoulders. Then both hands on their temples. They cross their arms across their torsos and put hands on their hips, then uncross them and put either hand on the hip from their side. They sway their hips from side to side and spin in the arm to face the next direction while yelling 'Eh, Macarena!'
"I am not trying to seduce you..." whispered Kara innocently.
"When I dance they call me Macarena," said Hannah
"And the boys, they say que soy buena," sang Madi
"They all want me, they can't have me," chanted all three girls.
"So they come and dance beside me," Hannah sang.
"Move with me, chant with me," said all three
"And if you're good, I'll take you home with me." said Madi.
"Dale a tu cuerpo alegria Macarena
Que tu cuerpo es pa' darle alegria y cosa buena
Dale a tu cuerpo alegria Macarena
Ehhhh, Macarena," Sang the girls and the guys in the bandstand.
Kara waved a finger. "Now don't you worry 'bout my boyfriend."
"The boy whose name is Vitorino," supplied Hannah.
"I don't want him, couldn't stand him." sang the three.
"He was no good, so I..." Hannah and the other two burst out into giggles.
"Now, come on," said Madi "What was I supposed to do? He was out of town and his two friends were soooooo fine."
Around them, the dance was going on. They didn't even see Satine lead Christian out to the dance floor and start doing the macarena in front of him. Nor did they see Toulouse get it down on the dance floor. All around them was a crazy, writhing mass of macarena-ing 1899-ers.
"Macarena tiene un novio que se llama
Que se llama de apellido Vitorino
Y en la jura de bandera del muchacho
Se la dio con dos amigos
Macarena, Macarena, Macarena
Que le gusta los veranos de Marbella
Macarena, Macarena, Macarena
Que le gusta la movida guerrilera
Macarena suena con el Corte Ingles
Y se compra los mnodelos mas modernos
Le gustaria vivir en Nueva York
Y ligar un novio nuevo."
"I am not trying to seduce you." breathed Hannah.
"Come and find me, my name is Macarena," stated Madi.
"Always at the the party con las chicas que soy buena." sang all three girls.
"Come join me, dance with me," said Hannah.
"And you fellows chant along with me." said Madi, pointing at a group of rather stoic people.
"Move with me, chant with me," said Kara, moving suggestively.
"And if you're good, I'll take you home with me." said all three girls, directing it at Christian with a wink.
"Dale a tu cuerpo alegria Macarena
Que tu cuerpo es pa' darle alegria y cosa buena
Dale a tu cuerpo alegria Macarena
Ehhhh, Macarena,"
Everyone was doing it now, without exception. Harold was, Satine and Christian were, all the Bohos, Arabia and China, Mome Fromage, even stuffy old Nini was doing the Macarena.
"Dale a tu cuerpo alegria Macarena
Que tu cuerpo es pa' darle alegria y cosa buena
Dale a tu cuerpo alegria Macarena
Ehhhh, Macarena."
The song ended, and everyone burst into wild applause. Madi, Hannah and Kara bowed breathlessly, catching the roses, money and flowers they threw at them.
Hannah and Kara started to go back stage when they were caught by the backs of their corset-like tops.
"I don't think so," said Madi.
"We're not done?" whined Hannah. "Look! The crowd loved it! They love us! I have diamonds, for God's sake!" she shook the diamond and made them chime. "See? SEE!"
"What Hannah means is that we're tired. And I miss my liquid liner!"
"Come here," Madi said, and whispered what she had in mind in their ears.
"Or, that sounds good too." said Kara meekly.
"And fun." said Hannah.
Madi smiled. "Good."
She stalked back out to the middle of the floor.
"HEY!" she shouted, using her big mouth that everyone had always yelled at her about. "We're not done yet, fellas, so you're in luck! But, in order to complete my ensemble, I need to get a few people! So, if you hear your name or corporation, get your butt in my circle! We got a deal?"
The crowd responded with claps and crows.
"What is she doing?" hissed Hannah nervously. Kara shrugged.
"SATINE! The BOHOS! TOULOUSE! HAROLD! Chicas of the APOCALYPSE! Yes, Nini, that means you!"
Madi patiently waited, then counted. "That makes thirteen, and I want an even number! I need one more! Who should I pick?"
Satine, Kara and Hannah were clearing their throat quite loudly behind her. "UMM... that little writer!" sang Madi, and the throat-noises stopped.
Once Christian was safely inside the circle, Madi arranged them in a line. "Just follow me," she whispered.
"It's astounding;
Time is fleeting;
Madness takes its toll.
But listen closely...
Not for very much longer.
I've got to keep control."
Kara grinned, and realized what Madi was doing.
"I remember doing the time-warp
Drinking those moments when
The Blackness would hit me
And the void would be calling...
Let's do the time-warp again." she sang. Madi grinned.
"Let's do the time-warp again!" they chorused.
"It's just a jump to the left." Madi said, jumping. The rest followed.
"And then a step to the right." sang Kara, and everyone else did it.
"With your hands on your hips. You bring your knees in tight." sang Madi and Kara, doing as the song said and being followed.
"But it's the pelvic thrust, that really drives you insane. Let's do the time-warp again." Hannah smiled and sang along.
"Let's do the time-warp again!"
"It's so dreamy, oh fantasy free me.
So you can't see me, no, not at all.
In another dimension, with voyeuristic intention,
Well secluded, I see all." sang Hannah
Not to be outdone, Madi burst out with: "With a bit of a mind flip,
You're into the time slip.
And nothing can ever be the same.
You're spaced out on sensation.
LIKE YOU'RE UNDER SEDATION!!!!!!!!!!!"
Kara, Hannah and Madi all grinned widely, jumping up and down like they were in an 80's rock music video. "Let's do the time-warp again! Let's do the time-warp again!"
Satine smiled at her friends and got out of line to join the girls.
Of course, Satine couldn't simply sing, she had to act it as well. She stalked around.
"Well I was walking down the street just a-having a think, when a snake of a guy gave me an evil wink. " she raised her hands in mock horror.
"He shook-a me up, he took me by surprise.
He had a pickup truck, and the devil's eyes." she purred.
"He stared at me and I felt a change.
Time meant nothing, never would again. "
Madi slapped high-five with her. "Go, S'tine!"
"Let's do the time-warp again. Let's do the time-warp again!" all four sang, all jumping up and down.
"It's just a jump to the left." bellowed Harold, startling everyone.
"And then a step to the right." sang the four appreciatively.
"With your hands on your hips." lisped Toulouse.
"You bring your knees in tight." sang Hannah, Satine, Kara, Madi and Harold.
"But it's the pelvic thrust, that really drives you insane." shouted Christian, taking everyone by surprise.
"Let's do the time-warp again! Let's do the time-warp again!" sang everyone. The Moulin Rouge was alive with Rocky Horror vibes.
The whole room formed into what looked like a giant conga line, and did the aforementioned 'Time Warp'
When the song finished, Hannah, Madi and Kara looked at one another, all slightly exhausted.
"We have completed our mission." wheezed Madi. "We have brought the macarena and the Rocky Horror Picture show to the Moulin Rouge."
"If only we could bring modern medicine, technology, and liquid liners, we would truly be Godsends." said Kara mournfully.
Satine and Christian ran up to the girls breathlessly, oblivious to the fact that they were holding hands. Hannah coughed politely, and Satine released his hand with a bit of a pout.
Christian didn't let it damper his mood any. "Girls, that was great!" he crowed.
Satine nodded emphatically. "That was incredible! The time warp and the macarena- what names!" both Christian and Satine laughed.
"Ha ha ha." chortled the Rougettes fakely, too tired to argue.
That brought them all back to reality. "Do you really have to go now?" asked Satine mournfully.
Madi nodded. "I for one have a math test to make up. And to face my parents about the bill. It'll be a group heartattack."
"I have to show my friends my boots!" said Kara excitedly.
"And I..." Hannah stopped. "Hey, when you say it that way, it seems that I didn't do anything at all!"
"Girls, we're going to miss you," said Satine, pulling Kara and Hannah into a hug. Madi grinned, and Christian pulled her to him. All were released, and the two went to get their hug from Christian, and Madi moved to Satine.
"You'll come back to visit, right?" asked Christian anxiously.
"And bring cafe lattes?" Satine demanded, for she had become a great fan of Starbuck's coffee. "And french fries?"
"That and more," assured Kara.
The three girls looked at one another. "And we won't see each other again either!" cried Madi woefully.
They three group-hugged. "We'll still be the Rougettes," pledged Hannah
"And we'll always have the internet!" cried Kara.
Madi, the cry-baby that she was, burst into tears. "I'm gonna miss you all!"
"Oh, don't cry, you'll get me started!" wailed Satine.
Satine and Madi looked at one another before dissolving into tears and moving to hug again.
Kara looked away. "Damn glitter in my eye," she sniffled.
"Wow, the floor is pretty cool." said Hannah in a choked up voice.
Madi composed herself. "Okay, I'm better." she went for another round of hugs, and then pronounced herself ready.
"What should we do this time?" asked Hannah. "One time it was chanting, the next it was like the wizard of oz, now what?"
Madi grinned. "I have an idea." she burst into song. "Let's do the time warp again! Let's do the time warp again!"
The three girls started into the movements, all the while chanting 'lets do the time warp again!'
"Rise n' shine, littl' one." came a sneer.
Madi cracked open an eye and shuddered. "Ew! It's Nini! In my room! It's a nightmare! Pinch me!"
