Whoo Part 2 of 3!.
Now, Chapter 6, Saturday - Apologies and Triumph! It's Dancing Time!
-----------------------------------------------------
The five made it to the arcade, but were now waiting for Mimi, Yamato, Ken and Miyako.
"They should say when they would be late." Taichi said with disgust. "The manager of the arcade won't let us in until the whole party's here." He spat onto the street as they waited for those four Chosen Children.
"Hey Sora, call Mimi and see if she's on her way." Takeru said, as he tossed her his cell phone, which Ms. Takaishi had given him one day. Taichi, Sora and Takeru were standing near the street, being lookouts, while Daisuke and Hikari were near the door, flirting. Takeru didn't have the heart to turn around and look at them. Sora used the cell to dial her house, and when she got no answer...
"Mimi's probably on her way." Sora said, but noticed that Taichi and Takeru were looking down the street.
"You mean she's here." Taichi said.
"With Matt." Takeru pointed out. Yamato and Mimi appeared, holding hands.
"So, what's up?" Yamato asked.
"Waiting for Miyako and Ken." Takeru replied."
"Don't have to wait anymore" Taichi said, as he had noticed Ken and Miyako were across the street, also holding hands.
"Geez, what is it with everybody holding hands?" Takeru mumbled, as they crossed the street.
"Hi everyone!" Miyako said as they reached everyone.
"I see you're coupled with Ken..." Takeru noted.
"Bingo!" she replied gleefully.
"Well, let's get inside. I don't want to annoy that arcade manager." Taichi said as they all went inside, past the DDR machine in the arcade, and to a back room. It was very spacious, with a machine in there. "The guy rigged it so we get free plays... Except to 'pull the strings', I ended up paying a big wad of money..." (A/N 40 U.S. Dollars... do the conversion, I don't know the USD - yen conversion)
"So... let's start I guess." Yamato said.
"Let's do Single, Double then Versus." said Takeru.
"Fine by me." replied Mimi.
"Let's start then!" Daisuke said.
"We have to pick the order." Hikari noted.
"Way ahead of you." Sora said as she pulled out nine cards, and spread them out on the table. "The first one picked goes first." She turned over a card... Taichi.
"So I guess I'm first..." he said, as he turned over another card... Ken.
"I'm next then," Ken said, as he turned over a card... this time it was Mimi. Mimi turned over a card, which was Daisuke's. Then he turned over a card... this went on until the last card was drawn. The order was now Taichi, Daisuke, Ken, Mimi, Miyako, Sora, Yamato, Hikari and finally Takeru.
"You keep going until you finish all four songs or until you fail." Taichi said, as he stepped onto the machine's pads. After a little configuring he chose Sobakasu Freckles (KCP Re-Edit) by Tiggy, Basic level. (A/N... this machine seems to have all the mixes, doesn't it... heheh)
Ready... GO!
What am I, what I am, what what what (uh!)
What am I gonna do, if I can't get through
Counting all these freckles in my life
It's just a waste of my time
And there's no finishing line
How am I gonna do, if I can not get you
To listen to the dreams we could fulfill
Can't get them out of my bed
I want to knock them down the stairs
I check the stars, but there's no sign
Venus to Mars there is no line, baby
I could be happy
If you still loved me
Cheers. Taichi was actually doing well... But this is Basic after all...
Still your memory's clear
Always here deep inside my heart
(Deep inside my heart)
I want you back to come and feed my appetite
Another lonely night
It's our life, why aren't you around
(Why aren't you around)
I'm all alone, thinking
Here my eyes fill with fear
It's my life, why are you not here
Pass. Taichi turned around and everyone either gasped in awe - Takeru, Daisuke, Yamato, Hikari, Mimi, Ken, Miyako - or cheered - Sora. He got a silver S. This time he chose a random song...
Stomp to my Beat by JS-16, Basic level.
Ready... GO!
Stompin' to my beat you,
Stompin' to my beat you,
Stompin' to my beat you,
Stompin' to my beat you,
Stompin' to my,
Stompin' to my,
Stompin' to my,

My beat'll come stormin' in, pumpin' , pumpin'
Happy people stompin' to my beat you,
to my beat you, stompin' to my beat,
My beat'll come stormin' in, pumpin' , pumpin'
More cheers. This time everybody cheered, yet inside they were still gasping in awe. No one could see the grin on Taichi's face.
Happy people stompin' to my,
Happy people stompin' to my,
Happy people stompin' to my,
Happy people stompin' to my,
Happy people stompin' to my,
Happy people stompin' to my,

Happy people stompin' to my beat you,
to my beat you, stompin' to my beat,
My beat'll come stormin' in, pumpin' , pumpin' (all night)
Disaster struck. Taichi was doing some moves and... he tripped! He tripped over his own feet and fell backward over the handrail... crashing to the ground. It would've been worse if he didn't have an incredibly thick skull. The word Failed appeared on the screen and he groaned.
"Haha Tai! Let's see if Dai could do any better!" Yamato said with glee.
"Very funny." Taichi muttered. Daisuke was on the stage and decided to change it to SSR (Maniac)...
"SSR!?!" Taichi wondered aloud. "Why the hell do you want to do Step Step Revolution!?"
"I hope you keel over..." Takeru muttered, yet only Taichi and Sora heard him. Hikari's eyes were full of worry. Daisuke chose to do End of the Century, by No.9.
Ready... GO!
End of the century
Misery, can it be chaos who's the boss
Suffer a great loss
Man woman child
No longer exist
Only the good ones will be missed
Life love cherish it all
Who will be left to conquer
The end is coming
Don't start running
There's nowhere to run
Don't grab a gun
All over the land her this roar
No one know what's in store
Look for the star, he's on his way
No one knows what's in store
Love your self and all around
In a blink of an eyes
You won't hear a sound
Your heart is pounding at raided speed
Man will always feel the need for greed
Let's go for it
Now you can't miss
It seemed that Daisuke was in over his head, basically... He tripped after tangling both his feet and smacked his head into the front of the machine... a little blood dripped from a large gash on his forehead.
"DAISUKE!!!" Hikari screamed as she ran towards the machine, clutching him. Takeru wretched from at sight, and left the room. He stood outside the door, from which Sora and Taichi emerged from.
"Geez TK, be careful what you wish for." Taichi remarked.
"Whatever." Takeru said in reply. They stood outside for 15 or so more minutes, then remembered...
"We forget to watch Ken!" Sora said, shaking her head.
"Whoops... Keep forgetting how short those songs can be at times." Taichi said. When the three went back inside, it seemed that Ken, Mimi and Miyako finished their turns. Ken completed all his songs, on Trick, while Mimi had messed up and failed her second song. Miyako failed her third song. It was now Sora's turn. She stepped up, and chose Butterfly (UpSwing Mix) by smile.dk. She chose Trick level.
Ready... GO!
Ay, iyaiyai,
Ay, iyaiyai
A-a-a iyaiyai,
Where's my samurai
Ay, ay, ay,
I'm your little butterfly
Green, black and blue,
Make the colours in the sky
Ay, ay, ay, I'm your little butterfly
Green, black and blue,
Make the colours in the sky
Where's my samurai
Where's my samurai
Sora was doing okay at this point... Oh dear... she thought. She kept missing at times... some Goods, some Almosts... Some Boos...
I've been searching for a man
All across Japan
Just to find, to find my samurai
Someone who is strong
But still a little shy
Yes I need, I need my samurai
Ay, ay, ay,
I'm your little butterfly
Green, black and blue,
Make the colours in the sky
Ay, ay, ay, I'm your little butterfly
Green, black and blue,
Make the colours in the sky
Where's my samurai
Where's my samurai
I've been searching in the woods
And high upon the hills
Just to find, to find my samurai
Someone who won't regret
To keep me in his net
Yes I need, I need my samurai
Ay, ay, ay,
I'm your little butterfly
Green, black and blue,
Make the colours in the sky
Ay, ay, ay, I'm your little butterfly
Green, black and blue,
Make the colours in the sky
She failed. Near the last verses her dance meter dropped to a dangerous level... and during the last instrumental bit, she failed. And she was so close too... She stepped out for awhile, and Taichi and Takeru followed her.
"Sora... you okay?" Taichi asked.
"Yeah..." Sora replied, although tears were streaming from her eyes.
"Don't cry."
"I was so close..."
"Please, I can't stand to see you cry."
"I'm sorry..."
"Sora I..." he paused for a minute, before taking her into an embrace. "I love you, Sora..." he bent over and kissed her. Sora's worry withered away as Taichi kissed her. She was so taken back by his action.
"I love you too, Taichi..." Takeru stood there, watching the two for a few more minutes, before he went back inside the room, to find his brother Yamato, had already finished all four of his songs, and Hikari had suffered the same fate Sora had... although without the tears. He stepped up to the machine and changed it to SSR, and chose PARANOiA Rebirth by 190'. Many gasped but he smirked.
READY... GO!
Right... Left... Up Left Down.. Up Right Down... Up Left Down... Right Right Down Down Left Down Up Right Left Left Down Down Up Right Down...
It went on and on... Although he missed a few here in there, he got about 420 of the steps down... out of a total of 433 (A/N I checked DDR Freak's step chart)
He finished with a silver S while everyone in the room cheered... except Daisuke, who still had the concussion, and had just woke up, and Hikari, who was paying attention to him. Takeru glanced over to her but found that she wasn't paying attention and frowned. He passed the rest of his 3 songs, but each was one letter grade less. He sighed. Taichi and Sora then came in, both rather happy.
"Did TK just finish?" Taichi asked.
"Yeah." Ken replied.
"So, anyone want to do Double?" Everyone was silent. "I guess not... on to Versus..."
"Is Dai still out?"
"No!" he shouted, sitting up.
"Hmmm... odd person out... We'll do this..." At this point Sora took out the cards again. She split them into four groups of two, and put the last card seperate. "Single card has to do Double." Everyone nodded. She turned the single card over and it was...
"ME!?" Daisuke shouted. "I wanted to be with Hikari!"
"Well too bad, Dai..." Sora whispered.
"Let's all agree to do random songs." Taichi said.
"Agreed." Takeru said.
"But what if we get stuck with a hard song?" Miyako asked.
"Then tough luck," replied Mimi.
"The order I show them will be the order they will go. Dai's Double goes first." She turned over the first set of cards. "Matt and Mimi." Secretly, both Yamato and Mimi held hands. "Then it's... Ken and Miyako," Sora said as she turned over the next pair. Taichi bent forward to turn over the next pair.
"Then it's me and Sora."
"Which leaves TK and Kari." Muttering rather loudly, Daisuke stepped up to the machine, and did his Double songs... B,C,D,C were his scores. Mimi and Yamato stepped up, and chose at random Dynamite Rave by Naoki... Basic level.
Ready... GO!
1, 2, 3, 4
Dynamite Rave!
Come on everybody!
(go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go)
And get on the floor, yeah
Techno, rave
It's time to make a stand
N pave the way
Some might say
Let it go,
Stay with the flow
Stay on bead,
Move your feet
On concrete
Or on the dance floor
You want more
Then I'll give you more
If it's too hard core
At this point Yamato smirked at Mimi, then continued.
Let me know
I stop the show
Then bring it back
To be exact
At 12 o'clock
Rock the spot
It's too damn hot
They told me so
To make a move
DYNAMITE RAVE
It's on the down low
Use your inner glow
To make a move
Show n prove
The man with the lisp
Sounds so crisp
When you can see me on TV
On the radio
Here me blow
Then at this point Mimi smirked at Yamato.
I don't wanna give up
We're gonna have a party
Have a really great time
Yeah Yeah!
Just feel the beat
Listen to the music
and feel that beat
C'mon, get up
C'mon, c'mon
Let me hear ya
Let me hear ya
C'mon, get up
C'mon, c'mon
Let me hear ya
Let me hear ya
Jump jump
Do your thing
This be the bomb
Try to sing
Narrator king
Spread your wings
Make your head ring to this song
All night long
Jack your body
To this party
Feel the pain
When you strain
Don't refrain
Please don't stop until you drop
I don't wanna give up
We're gonna have a party
Have a really great time
Yeah Yeah!
Just feel the beat
Listen to the music
and feel that beat
They both finished with A's, as everybody cheered. They embraced each other into a kiss. Ken and Miyako went up and at random had chosen Dam Dariram... They finished that, then kissed. Taichi and Sora's turn was next... Luv to Me (AMD Mix), by DJ Kazu feat. Tiger Yamato. Trick level.
Ready... GO!
Neon signs were shining bright
And in the street lights (the street lights)
I saw your shadow was fading away
Well, I lost you all of a sudden
Good-bye my love, I love you too so
Before you went away, I didn't know
Memories awake, only in my dream
When I think I lost them, they all come back to me
You said that you love me
Looked at me softly
You kissed me and held me all night so tight
Then glanced at each other and smiled. They both were very synchronized.
I know what you're feeling
I know what you're dreaming
All that you feel and everything in your mind
The memories are so clear (so clear, so clear...)
(So-so many...) So many good years (good years...)
The sweet ones I hold dear (hold dear, hold dear...)
Good-bye my love, I love you too so
Before you went away, I didn't know
Memories awake, only in my dream
When I think I lost them, they all come back to me
The memories are so clear
So many good years
Sweet ones I hold dear
Can't hold back the tears
I need you by my side
These feelings I can't hide
So don't walk away, boy
Baby won't you bring back
Silver S's appear on the screen. Taichi and Sora embraced themselves into a tight hug.
"I'll never leave you," Taichi whispered in Sora's ear. Takeru and Hikari's turn were next. They both stepped up and he set his level to SSR/Maniac, while Hikari left it on Trick. They chose random and it happened to land on... Can't Stop Falling in Love, by Naoki.
Ready... GO!
My life
meant nothing to me
then a guy like you came along
Hikari.... Takeru thought as he glanced over to look at her.
Everything
is moving so fast,
I gotta get my feet on the ground
He glanced again.
Unhappy days are over 'cause I can
always be with you
She glanced at him.
Lying in your arms day by day,
makes me feel Ohh... so brand new
They blushed while looking at each other, and abruptly turn their attention back to the screen... Somehow they were able to keep going... Takeru had nailed all his arrows.
Can't stop fallin' in love
Tell me you will be true (forever baby)
I just can't stop dreaming of you
everyday (every way)
"Takeru..." Hikari whispered, but then blushed at her sudden realization.
Say you love me baby
Say you will always be mine
You'll never break my heart
I broke his heart... she thought.
I just can't stop fallin' in love
Baby you became
Makin' love with you
is all I wanna do, (wanna do)
They glanced at each other again, but felt more comfortable with it. But I'm with Dai now...
Can't stop fallin' in love
Give your heart and soul
Stay with me this time
and we'll make history, (you and me)
They both finished. They both had golden SS's each, but what stole the show was Takeru sweeping Hikari up and dipping her into a passionate kiss. They stayed locked for about 5 or so minutes. Yet it seemed like an eternity to them. Takeru had poured out his soul to her. When they broke apart, Hikari had broken into tears and ran out of the room and the arcade itself. Takeru just stood there. No.. not again.
"HIKARI!!! WAIT!!!" Takeru shouted as he ran out the door in pursuit of her.
"Hikari! Wait for me!" Daisuke yelled, before being tackled by Taichi and Yamato.
"Oh no you don't!" Taichi shouted.
"Get off of me, Tai!"
