Chapter 22: Flashback # 2 Dance Night
The Titans all woke up and they groaned. "Man, never eat waffles before traveling," said Cyborg as he held his stomach. Sam shushed them and led them toward an auditorium. They opened the door and entered the auditorium, where it was dark with only a disco ball going. A slim girl walked past Beast Boy in a halter dress. "Hey Bonita," said Beast Boy, making Terra jealous a little. But the girl passed him as if he wasn't there.
"DUDE! SHE JUST SNUBBED ME!" he yelled. Terra slapped him across the face and Timothy said, "This is a memory. You cannot disturb it unless someone in the memory sees beyond what is tangible."
"There," said Sam as she pointed to one girl. She wore a long black dress which as tank-top like and very slim on her thin and muscular body. She wore a blood red, light shawl, and her hair was tied in twin ponytails with a long red ribbon coming from both. She wore a black mask over her eyes, and sat in the back next to the wall. A red "Z" on her golden necklace glittered in the disco ball's light. She looked bored to death. Starfire asked, "Why friend, do you not party with the others?" Sam said, "You'll see."
A boy with black hair that was a little long in the face approached her and tapped her on the shoulder. "Hey Charles! I like your hair! Parted in the middle, huh?" The boy blushed and said, "Will you teach me how to dance?" Sam said, "Anything for my best friend." They got up and together danced a slow waltz. Sam smiled and said, "Good Charles!" Suddenly, a short girl in a strapless pastel pink dress said, 'Oh Charles! You promised me a dance!" Charles glanced at the girl and said, 'I didn't promise you anything, Nami!" She said, "Well, you have to dance with me! We will definitely win king and queen!" Charles sighed and Sam whispered, "Ditch her after this dance. It's going to be a fast one where you don't have to touch her." Charles nodded, and the two parted. As Sam was walking off, a hand grabbed her into a fast samba. It was Tim. He said to her, 'You're mine for the night." Sam said, "I don't think so. Why don't you dance with Samantha over there?" Tim growled, and a voice nicely said, "May I dance with her please?" They turned and saw Shuhei, dressed nicely. Tim said, "Sure," through his teeth, and kissed Sam on the cheek. Sam wiped off the kiss with her hand and gave it back to Tim by slapping him across the face.
Shuhei and Sam danced slowly through five different dances. They were wonderful dancers, and everyone stopped to watch the two Asians dance perfectly in time. Shuhei whispered in Sam's ear, "Are you ready for tonight?" Sam nodded. A voice tapped Shuhei's shoulder and said, "May I borrow your partner?" The voice was coming from a Caucasian boy with blondish-brown hair that was long and layered a bit. (When I say long, it goes half-way up the neck and is a little over the eyes.) He had bright blue eyes and white teeth. Shuhei said, "Of course Tuttle! Just don't lose her." Shuhei let go of Sam and handed her to Tuttle. Sam and Tuttle danced a slow waltz, and she kept on glaring at him.
Tuttle looked at her and said, "What?" Sam growled, and Tuttle said, "Are you in a bad mood?" Sam growled again, and Tuttle sighed and said, 'Come on. Let's go outside when this song ends." They didn't notice that everyone was admiring them. The Caucasian and Asian dancing together in a gliding and synconized way. Tuttle was a little taller then Sam and framed her slender body with his muscular one. Everyone quickly wrote something down on a little paper and put it into the ballot box. As the song ended, Tuttle led Sam to the refreshments booth. Sam took some punch and drank it slowly. Tuttle waited for her, and they went outside together. They walked through the little grass soccer field together and walked up to a bench. They sat down next to each other under the golden moon. Tuttle asked, "Are you okay?" Sam nodded her head slowly. Tuttle looked at her, and said, "You know, you look nice today." Sam awkwardly laughed and said, "Thank you." They both stood up next to each other and Sam said, "Thanks." Tuttle embraced Sam into a tight hug, and Sam buried her face into his chest. They stood there for a long time, with Sam crying into Tuttle's chest, and Tuttle stroking her hair. Tuttle said, "Will you remember me?" Sam said, "Yes, I will." Suddenly, her red 'Z' started to flash, and they looked at each other with a knowing expression.
They returned back into the auditorium as they were announcing the prom's royalties. "As Princess and Prince, we have Charles Lee and Nami Yamamoto!" Charles groaned as he walked onto the stage with Nami. He took the crown and announced, 'I step down as prince. I'd rather not dance with her." He took the crown and threw it to Tim. "But Timothy Kim would love to dance with Nami!" Tim blushed, and was forced to go on the stage and take Nami. "The King and Queen are…. Bryan Tuttle and Sam Lee!" Tuttle and Sam slowly walked up toward the stage and stood up on top the stage. Sam had taken off her mask, and as she walked past Shuhei, she passed it to him. They stood on the stage, and she accepted a sliver tiara with which glistened next to the king's crown. The announcer hushed the applauses and said, "Will anyone say why these two are the king and queen?" A hand shot up, and a boy yelled, "Cause Tuttle loves Sam!" Everyone laughed as the two on stage blushed. Another hand shot up, and a preppy girl said, "Don't they, like, look so cute together? I mean, Tuttle like, all tall and muscular, and Sam's, like, thin and muscular. They, like, go together like Yin and Yang. I mean, like, Tuttle's Caucasian, and Sam's like, Asian, and Sam's like, up to Tuttle's nose, and they dance so perfectly together, it's like, SO CUTE!" Everyone burst into applauses again, and the two entered the spotlight.
Tuttle and Sam slowly danced under the disco ball in a slow waltz, neither one looking at each other. Tuttle whispered, 'You okay Sam?" She said back quietly, 'Yes." They danced slowly until the song ended, and the princess and new prince joined in. Tim got close to Sam and said, "What are you doing?" Sam said, 'What?" Tim replied, "Look! I know you like Tuttle, but what about me?" Sam looked confused and said, "You're my friend, Tim." Tim groaned and said, "Never mind. I'll tell you later." Sam looked puzzled, but Tuttle pulled her closer as they danced another waltz. Tuttle whispered into her ear, "Will you be okay tomorrow?" Sam said, 'Yes." Suddenly, Tuttle pulled her onto the stage. "Ladies and gentlemen…. I have an announcement to make." Tuttle got down on one knee and said, to Sam, 'Will you be my girlfriend?"
They had rehearsed this so many times that Sam could say the words flying out of her mouth. Sam looked him in the eye and said, "No, I cannot." She started to cry and jumped off the stage and ran for the exit. A hand passed her the black mask and she put it on hurriedly. Tuttle ran after her and said, "Wait Sam!" Matt Q. let her run past and looked at Tuttle, who nodded his head slightly. Sam ran out the doors in a hurry. The Titans watched as Sam looked at herself, bored. Suddenly, Tim stepped in front of Tuttle. "What did you do to her?" he asked in a threatening voice. Tuttle stood still and said, "Nothing." He tried to push past Tim, but Tim pushed back and yelled, "WHAT DID YOU DO TO HER?"
Tuttle said, "Nothing, okay? I just need to go find her now…" Suddenly, a fist punched him in the stomach, and a brutal fight began. Sam motioned the others to go outside. They quietly slipped out, and they saw Sam dressed as Spark.
She wore a black mask like Robin's over her eyes and had on her usually costume (Refer to earlier chapters). She waited patiently for Tuttle, who was still inside. Finally, she quietly entered the room. She saw Tim strangling Tuttle. She quickly changed back into her formal dress and ran toward Tim. She was known as the fastest girl in the school and strongest too. She tackled Tim and sent him sliding across the floor. He ended up at Nami's feet. Nami picked him up (sort of) and said, "Are you okay Tim?" Tim pushed her away and said, "Let me go!" Tim rushed back to Sam, who was helping Tuttle up. He had a few bruises and scratches. As Tim rushed forward, Shuhei and Matt Q. held him back.
"Dude! Leave her alone for now!" Tim calmed down a bit, and they loosened their grip. Sam looked at him with a sad glance, and quickly took Tuttle outside. Sam looked at him and changed back into her previous outfit. She watched as Tuttle switched into a dark blue outfit just like hers. He put on a pair of sunglasses and said, 'Let's go." Sam got out her wind board, and they flew into the night sky.
Sam said, "Get ready to Switch Again." The Titans prepared themselves for the black void. Suddenly, they were sucked forward into a black hole.
"I FEEL SICK!" yelled Beast Boy.
