Chapter 20: Age 14 IV: Dance Names and Da Dance

It was Friday, which means that tonight was the dance. Kai and Rei were at their lockers talking about the dance when Tyson and Gary ran up to them and started shaking them madly.

"KAI YOU GOTTA HELP ME!!!" Tyson yelled shaking the poor blue-haired boy.

"Wha-wha-at's-tha-tha-pro-pro-b-lem?" Kai asked still being shaked.

"DUDE!!! I ASKED JACKIE OUT AND STUFF!!!!" Tyson said pulling onto his hair.

"Okay.... so... what's the problem?" Kai said trying to unwrinkle his uniform.

"I don't know how to dance...." Tyson said putting his head down, "neither does Gary. That's why he's here, too."

"Well, you kinda lost us on that one," Rei said sweatdropping, "because no boys at this school can dance, unless it's one of those group dances like the 'Chi Chi slide' or a slow dance."

"Dude, it's called the 'Cha Cha slide'," Kai corrected Rei.

"But still! We don't know how to dance!!" Tyson yelled.

"Well, maybe Jackie and *coughEmilycough* might not wanna do a fast dance," Kai said coughing Emily's name.

"Yeah! They might only want to slow dance and those group dances like the Macaroni," Rei agreed.

"Dude, it's called the Macerena!" Kai corrected Rei again.

"No, I think that it's called the Macaroni," Rei replied calmly.

"Who taught you names of dances?" Kai argued.

"I've been seeing it on T.V. and stuff and it's called the Macaroni! I've read it in China." (A/N: To the Chinese people! I dunno how you guys say Macerena, I'm not dissing you guys and stuff, kay)

"Well, China's wrong! It's called the Macerena!"

"Macaroni!"

"Macerena!"

"Macaroni!"

"Macerena!" They both continued arguing about the name of the dance and walked off leaving Tyson and Gary dumstruck.

"Uh... didn't you say that they were the best way to get advice?" Gary said looking at Tyson.

"I thought I did...."

~*~That night~*~

Kai was standing in front of the mirror trying to put on a black tie around his neck.

"Well, someone's trying to look fancy for their date tonight," Tala commented leaning against the doorframe smirking at his younger brother. He was wearing a red shirt and a pair of black pants. "Are you going to take Mariah somewhere else instead of the dance?"

"I'm going to take her to get some ice cream and stuff," Kai replied walking out of the bathroom to find his shoes. "How come you're going to the dance Mr. I-Have-No-Date?"

"Oh you haven't heard? I'm the DJ!"

"Grreat," Kai said grabbing his jacket and walking out of the door, "See ya at the dance." Kai closed the door and walked next door to Mariah's house and rang the doorbell and waited. A few seconds later, Mariah's mom opened the door and gave her a welcoming smile.

"Hello Kai, please come in," she opened the door more to let Kai in. "You look handsome tonight. Mariah will be ready in a second." She gestered Kai to go and sit on the couch and wait. Whe he sat down and watched Mariah's mom walk up the stairs, the doorbell rang. Kai got up and walked to the door and opened it to reveal Tyson with flowers in his hand and his eyes closed.

"THESE FLOWERS ARE FOR YOU!" Tyson yelled shoving the flowers in Kai's face.

"You know Tyson, all you had to do was go next door, not across the street," Kai said getting the flowers out of his face.

"Oh, it's only you Kai," Tyson said sweatdropping. "Jackie told me to come over to Mariah's house cuz she said she's wants both of us to walk together or something," he said scratching the back of his head.

"Well, you can sit down on the couch and stuff." Kai and Tyson sat down on the couch and waited for their dates to come downstairs. They waited... and waited... and waited... and, you guessed it, waited. "When they come out, the dance would be over with!" Kai said sitting on the couch upside down playing with Mark's paddle ball (A/N: BTW Mark's in college! Go ahead... cheer!).

"I know. It's a good thing, too, I only learned how to slow dance and those group dances which is near the end of the dances anyways," Tyson replied reading a magazine on the floor.

"Boys," Mariah's mom said walking down the stairs, "they're ready to go." Tyson and Kai gasped when Jackie and Mariah walked down the stairs. Jackie was wearing a baby blue dress with purple flowers on it. (A/N: Please forgive me... I suck at describing dresses... dresses make me cringe) Then Mariah came down wearing a pink tank-top and a pair of white capris.... OH FORGET IT!!! To Kai and Tyson, they both looked hot!!! Tyson just stared and Kai hit himself in the face with the paddle ball.

"Ready to go?" Jackie asked clinging onto Tyson's arm.

~*~At the School~*~

Some people were at the dance just talking and socializing. Rei was at the enterance waiting for his date to arrive. He kept on looking at his watch nervously. He felt a tap on his shoulder and he jumped turning around to see that it was only Max.

"Hey Rei, who are you waiting for?" Max said holding a camcorder in his hands.

"I'm waiting for Hiromi to arrive. Why do you have a camcorder?" Rei asked.

"Oh. Since I don't have a date (Max Fangirls: POOR MAX!! ::cries:: Me:... -___-''), Tala asked if I could film some couples for his video and stuff."

"That's nice Max."

"Don't worry, Rei. You might not be caught on the tape," Max said smiling, "cuz everyone knows YOU of all people don't have a date."

"Gee, thanks Max," Rei said clenching his teeth together. "Oh and by the way, I DO have a date for the dance?"

"Who? Is it Hiromi?" Max asked slyly.

"Maybe," Rei said blushing and looking up at the ceiling.

"DUDE I GOTTA FILM THIS!!" Max yelled focusing the camcorder on Rei. Then Max heard Lee trying to talk to a girl. "DUDE! I NEED TO FILM THIS WHEN HE GETS SLAPPED!! See ya later," Max yelled running off.

Rei sighed and waited for Hiromi to come through the door. A few minutes later, people started to come into the building. Rei saw Hiromi come through the door wearing a light green top and a 'whatever color you readers want' skirt and brown boots.

"Hey Rei," Hiromi said smiling, "what brings you to the dance?"

"He-he-hey Hi-hiromi," Rei stuttered, "I'm uh... waiting for someone. You?"

"What a surprise, so am I!"

"Who are you waiting for?"

"Some guy wrote this note and put it in my locker Thursday and his name is.... Jeu!" Hiromi said excitedly while Rei facefaulted. (Remember Rei's horrorable penmanship?)

"There is no Jeu at this school..."

"There isn't?" she asked.

"NO IT SAYS REII!!!!!!" Rei yelled loud enough for everyone in the whole gym to hear him. "Uh... sorry."

"This is your letter?"

"Yeah... well... Kai wrote it cuz the last letter turned out... uh.... different... and I told him what to write," Rei explained scratching the back of his head.

"You would like to be my date for the dance?" Hiromi asked blushing a bit.

"Sure! That'll be great," Rei replied also blushing and walking off with Hiromi arm in arm.

A few minutes later, Kai, Tyson, Jackie and Mariah finally walked into the gym. They've missed 30 minutes of the dance, which means it only has 1 1/2 left. Tala was up on the DJ stand playing 'Good Charolette- The Anthem' when he spotted the group walk through the door. He picked up the microphone and yelled out, "Hey look at this! I thought you wasn't going to show up!"

"Shut up and play the music, DJ!" Kai said back. (I'm gonna fast forward through this part, next part is near the end of the dance ::presses the fast forward button::)

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

It was 4 minutes till the dance ended, a slow dance began to play.

"Ladies and gents," Tala said over the mic, "the dance is closing to a end, so get with that special someone and have one more dance." Everyone got with their partners. Kai wrapped his arms around Mariah's waist while Mariah wrapped her arms around Kai's neck putting her head onto his chest. (Readers, get S Club 'Never Had a Dream Come True' song ready. Ya know, if you wanna listen and read at the same time and stuff ^_^)

Everybody's got something

They had to leave behind

One regret from yesterday

That just seems to grow with time

There's no use looking back oh wondering (Oh wondering)

How it could be now

Oh might have been (Oh might have been)

Oh this I know

But still I can't find ways to let you go.

Mariah was looking over Kai's shoulder to see all of the other couples. Tyson and Jackie were cuddled up together, meaning that they, FINALLY, became a couple. Gary and Emily were dancing. Gary was blushing when Emily asked him to dance and she put her head on his shoulder. (Let's just say that Gary shrunk a bit and Emily grew a bit ^_^) 'I bet they're a couple,' Mariah thought looking into Kai's redish-brown eyes. 'I wonder if Kai and me would become a couple... Nah... he only likes me for a friend.'

I never had a dream come true

Till the day that I fould you

Even through I pretend that I've moved on

You'll always be my baby

I never found the words to say

You're the one I thnk about each day

And I know matter where life takes me to

A part of me will always be with you

Kai was also thinking about all of the other couples that were in the gym. '*sigh* If she only knew...' Kai thought in his head looking into Mariah's golden eyes. He put his hand on top of her head. 'She's so beautiful, too bad she only likes me as a close friend. Well, tonight, I'm going to ask her. She looks like she doesn't have a care in the world.'

"Ever since I moved next door, we share everything together," Kai said to Mariah.

"You're right. We beat each other up, we talk till midnight, it's like we were suppose to be neighbors or something," Mariah said.

"Whatever kind of faith it was, I'm glad it happened," Kai said and kissed Mariah's forehead.

Somewhere in my memory

I've lost all sense of time

And tomorrow can never be

Cuz yesterday is all that fills my mind

There's no use looking back oh wondering (Oh wondering)

How it should be know

Oh might have been (Oh might have been)

Oh this I know but still I can't find ways to let you go

I never had a dream come true

Till the day that I found you

Even though I pretend that I've moved on

You'll always be my baby

I never found the words to say

You're the one I think about each day

And I know no matter where life takes me to

A part of me will always be

Long after the dance was over, Kai and Mariah went to the park and sat on their favorite mound/hill. "Kai?"

"Hm?"

"We've haven't been on his hill since you were kidnapped. Why is that?"

"I dunno, maybe we've been other places instead of the park for a while."

"This was the hill that made you fall down and left that bruise on your arm when we was about to kiss."

"Speaking of that, well... we've been friends for a long time and stuff and.... uh.. how I'm suppose to put this... I was wondering if... we could... um... go out sometime," Kai asked blushing.

"Are you asking me out, Kai?" Mariah asked blushing, too.

"Yeah, unless... you still only want to be friends."

"I'd love to be your girlfriend." They both stared again into each other's eyes. They began to get closer, and closer, and you guessed it... they kissed. It wasn't one of those sloppy kissy that you get from your relatives, no, it was a very passionate kiss. They both fell onto the grass still kissing and hugging. After about 3 WHOLE minutes, they broke apart to give each other some air.

You'll always be the dream that filled my head

Yes you will, say you will, you know you will oh baby

You'll always be the one I know I'll never forget

There's no use looking back oh wondering (Oh wondering)

Because love is a strange and funny thing (And funny thing)

No matter how I try

I try I just ca't say good bye

No, no, no, no.

"That was the best 3 minutes of my day," she smiled.

"Yeah," Kai said getting up and holding out his hand. "Let's go. I promised your mom that you'll be home by 10:30." Mariah took his hand and both walked out of the park with Kai's arm around her shoulder.

High above in a tree, two certain boys were filming the whole scene. "Man, I'm glad that my mom let me borrow this camcorder," Tala grinned evilly petting the object.

"I wonder what Kai would do if he sees us or the tape?" Max wondered, "OH WELL!" Max pulled out his saxaphone and started playing a soothing song.

"Dude, I didn't know you knew how to play an instrument," Tala said surprised.

"I've been playing it since 7th grade, I got used to it now," Max said and continues playing.

"You make me wonder sometimes, Max. You make me wonder."

I never had a dream come true

Till the day that I found you

Even though I pretend that I moved on

You'll always be my baby

I never found the words to say (never found the words to say)

You're the one I think about each day (you're the one I think about each day)

And I know no matter where life takes me to

A part of me will always be with you, oooohhhh. _____________________________________________
