Chapter Five: The First Day With A Twist
The week seemed to go by really slow, but playing DDR with Shawn helped Kaeli get through it easier. And although at any competition there is nervousness, Kaeli and probably all of the contestants were filled more so with excitement. The day finally came when they would be staying at the Gilderton Hotel. All of the contestants' practice would be put to the test. The Paltrows drove Kaeli and Shawn downtown. They had packed many belongings, hoping that they would be staying away from home for a very long time.
"Thanks again for driving me to the competition Mrs. Paltrow." Kaeli said on the ride there.
"Oh, it's the least I can do since your family took Shawn out to eat last week." she said.
Kaeli had on her favorite outfit that she wore when she found out that she had made it into the competition, so she was pumped and ready for anything that was in store for her. Boy was she wrong. As soon as all 26 contestants arrived in the lobby, they were hit with some very surprising news. There among the beautiful lights and paintings of the huge hotel was something covered with a sheet. Everyone wanted to know what was under it, but the host had to explain a few things first.
The host, Mr. Bradley Rogin, took his microphone. "Welcome, DDR players, to the first ever DDR worldwide competition! Out of you 26 contestants, there could be the DDR elite master!"
As the host was talking, Kaeli looked around the room for any familiar faces. None, except for Shawn and the Witch Doctor. He sat in one of the couches with a huge smile on his face. "Look at him!" Kaeli whispered to Shawn. "He makes it seem like he's already won the title!"
"Each room will have 5 contestants each, except for one room which will have one extra person." the host continued. "We will be randomly choosing who stays with whom. Who knows, you may end up being the only guy in a room with 4 other girls." Immediately after Mr. Rogin said that many guys whistled and cheered. That got them awake. But the next thing that the host said got their attention even more. "Alright, enough explaining. Before we choose roommates there's a couple things that need to be done. I'm sure everyone is wondering what is under that sheet. I think it's time you found out." Kaeli and Shawn both gave each other a quick look, then turned to see the sheet drop and reveal a DDR machine! Many people cheered, but others began mumbling.
"Duh, this is a DDR competition! Why is that such a surprise?" Shawn said to Kaeli, who shrugged her shoulders in response.
"Of course, this is the DDR machine that each one of you will be competing on. During elimination rounds, two people will go at a time. It would be too confusing having 10 dances at once, right? Okay, let me cut to the chase. In your letter, it was mentioned that today you will get settled in and tomorrow would be our first set of competitions. Well, that's not entirely true. You will be playing DDR today...and it will be an elimination round." Everyone began to start talking and making a huge fuss.
"What?!" Kaeli exclaimed in panic. "Shawn, we could be going home today!"
"This is not good." Shawn said. "I think everyone realizes that!"
The host did look a bit sympathetic to the contestants, but I think what he said next was really hard to say. "One more thing, kids. You must compete right now...in what you are wearing!" This really brought up the heat!
Kaeli turned to Shawn and gave him a look of anguish. She stared down at her favorite outfit that she wished was not her choice of wear anymore: a mini skirt and long black boots. "What am I going to do?!" she cried. She looked around the room, hoping that other girls had made her mistake too. Some girls were wearing high heels, sandals, dresses, skirts, etc. The guys had it easy. Basically anything they wore was suitable for DDR.
"Man, and all of us signed those release forms!" Kaeli said. "If we slip and fall and hurt ourselves while playing DDR in these clothes Konami Corporation won't get in trouble!'
"Don't worry Kaeli. You'll stay in, don't worry."
The host had a list of names that he was drawing from a basket. He wasn't picking the roommates, he was picking the competitors. Everyone was nervous. No one wanted to go first. "We will only make people dance in Standard mode. We're not total jerks! Basically, the rules are, you must not fail. You never know, we could have our five local DDR elite named today! One person could be eliminated today, or 10 people can!" Mr. Rogin pulled out 2 slips of paper and carefully read the names. "Our first competitors are...Vivica..."
As the name was called there was a groan in the group. A very preppy girl stepped out wearing suitable DDR wear all except for her sandals. Footwear is the biggest factor in DDR.
"...And...Kaeli." the host finished.
"Nooo!" Kaeli exclaimed. "I don't want to go first! I don't want to fail!"
Shawn took Kaeli's hand. "It's alright. I know you won't fail. I believe in you."
Kaeli took comfort in his words, and slowly walked up to the front. "Looks like we're both gonna have to work a bit on the song." she said to the girl next to her.
"Yah. But whatever it is, let's hope it's an easy song." Vivica said.
"Alright girls, step onto the platforms." the host said. He started up the machine, and hit random. "All songs will be randomly picked for fair gaming." All of the contestants were now crowded around the machine. It reminded Shawn of the crowd made for the Witch Doctor. He prayed to never have to go against him. Today would be okay though, since he wouldn't be really competing against him. Nope, this competition today was against yourself.
"And the song is...Drop the Bomb!" Everything was set. The lights were flashing and the music turned on.
Kaeli was in the zone, focused on the game. But before it started she heard someone behind her say, "I'm gonna enjoy watching this. A girl in a mini skirt and leather knee high boots. Oh yah!" Kaeli did not want to lose her focus to see who it was, and the song was starting. She wouldn't have known who said that but someone had said his name.
"You're so right, Jake!" someone laughed.
As the song started it wasn't that hard. But when it got to the chorus, both girls were having some trouble. Vivica was trying to keep her sandals from flying off, and Kaeli was trying not to trip at the jump combos. She was also trying to keep her skirt from riding up. Luckily, the song wasn't too hard, and they both ended with a C.
"Nice job, ladies!" Mr. Rogin said. "You're both still in the contest!" Kaeli and Vivica both slowly trudged off the stage. They were tired. Normally they wouldn't be, but in their circumstances, there was an exception.
Shawn pushed through the few people in his way to Kaeli. "See, Kaeli! I told you that you could make it!" He hugged her. "Now, if you can dance in those clothes and not fail, I think I'll be alright!"
"I'm sure you will be!" Kaeli listened for the next contestants.
"Brian.... and....Quiko!" Everyone watched as a small boy and an older girl step up. Brian turned out to be 10 years old. Quiko was 19 years old.
"Let's see what this small fry is made of!" someone in the crowd yelled. Kaeli looked around and noticed that many of the contestants were high school students. She could only see about 4 including Brian that looked 14 and under. The lights turned on and the music began to play as the next round went up. Kaeli's legs were tired from playing so she sat down at a nearby couch. She was even too tired to watch Quiko scramble on the DDR pad in her dress and high heels. That was a sight she wanted to see! Kaeli closed her eyes. I've made it past day one, she thought. Well, supposing they have no more tricks up their sleeves.
"Mind if I sit down?" Kaeli heard a voice tell her. Kaeli opened her eyes to see a teenage boy. He was wearing big black, baggy pants, a wife beater with the word sko on it, and a spike choker. He had spiky hair and an earring in his ear.
After looking him over, she finally said, "Not at all."
"Trying to get away from all the noise, huh? Well, I'm sure I'd be tired too if I tried to play DDR in those clothes!" he laughed.
"Yah, it's hard. Nice tattoo." she also noticed he had his tongue pierced. "What did your mom think of that and your tongue piercing?" Kaeli could hear the crowd cheer. Guess those two made it. She heard the host call two more contestants, but she was still tired and wanted to talk to the kid more.
"Actually, my mom was okay with it. I wanted to get it pierced so bad so she let me. Tongue studs are the coolest if you know what I mean." the kid said, grinning.
Kaeli didn't get it. "So, tell me about yourself. I'm 16 years old and my name's Kaeli Abson."
"Yah, I know your name from when Rogin called it. Well, I'm 17 years old. The name's –"
"Kaeli!" Shawn interrupted. "I was looking all over for you!" Shawn turned his attention to the guy sitting next to Kaeli. "What were you doing?"
"Just talking. I needed to sit down before my knees collapsed." she looked at Shawn. "Man, you worked up quite a sweat." Then she put two and two together. Kaeli gasped. "Oh Shawn! You danced just now didn't you?!"
"Yes, I did. I was looking for you so you could watch me. But I couldn't find you in time." Shawn looked upset. Kaeli jumped off the couch and hugged him.
"I'm sorry! Don't worry, I promise that I'll be there to all of your dance competitions!" she cried. "Well, by the looks of it, you passed right?"
"Of course I did! I got a B. I got stuck dancing to Chang Ma! Do you remember what we practiced Kaeli?" she nodded. "One, two, three." They both shuddered at the same time. Chang Ma was a hard song for both of them to pass. They eventually mastered it over Christmas break.
Kaeli turned her attention back to the guy on the couch, but he was gone. "I didn't catch his name." she grumbled.
"What did you say?" Shawn said, even though he heard her. He tried to hide his small pint of jealousy. Of course he was a little upset, she was talking to another guy when she should have been watching him.
"Oh, I wanted to know the name of the guy I was talking to. He seemed really cool. All I know about him is that he's 17 years old and he's got a tattoo and has his tongue pierced. Well, I'm gonna go watch the rest of the contestants." Kaeli said.
Shawn silently followed her. Why does she have to think those guys are cool, he thought. I hope I get some decent people as my roommates. If Kaeli was with me...he trailed off. He was thinking about more opportunities to tell her how he feels about her. Shawn snapped back into focus and watched the rest of the contestants. Afterwards, everyone found out that only 2 people failed. One was a girl wearing a skirt and flip-flops, and the other person was an 11-year-old boy. He was good, but the song he danced to was a song that he had been having trouble with in the spring and tried to master in time but didn't.
"Alright now DDR players! There are still 24 of you! You have all made it past day one! And since today was an elimination day, tomorrow will be the fun day. You will all spend your day going to the beach and afterwards a carnival!" Everyone cheered. The contestants didn't just compete. They had fun outings too. "Quiet down, now, it's time to choose your roommates!" Everyone did shut up, because they wanted to know who they were with. After naming 3 rooms, the host finally mentioned Kaeli's name. "Room 4 is Kaeli, Rinoa..."
"Let's hope you're with me, Shawn!" Kaeli said as she walked up to the front. There she saw Rinoa, who looked like a nice girl.
"Oh, I hope I can be in a room with you!" Shawn said, though Kaeli couldn't hear.
Mr. Rogin continued. "Vivica..." Vivica stepped out and joined the group. Kaeli was glad she was in the room, at least they had known each other a little bit when they played DDR. "Jake..." Kaeli looked up to see the "sko" guy walk up to the group.
Jake, she thought. That name sounds familiar...but I thought he didn't tell me his name. Then she remembered what she heard before she was going to dance. "It's him!" she murmured. Part of her didn't like him because he seemed like a guy who only looked at a girl's looks, but part of her liked him because he seemed so nice when they talked.
"Hey Kaeli. Guess you know my name now, huh?" Jake said smiling.
"Whoa, this guy is gonna be so lucky if the next name we pick is a girl!" the host exclaimed. Many guys in the crowd whistled and cheered. Jake let out a big "Yah!!"
Shawn was really upset now. He hoped that Kaeli had feelings for him, because if she didn't, he might not get his chance to tell her if she starts to like a certain someone else. Shawn held in his breath as Mr. Rogin called the last name.
"Alright, the final person in Room 4 is..."

Yah, sorry 'bout the cliffie! -evilness- MUAHAHAHA! -cough- um, yah. Anyways, I only have 3 or 4 chappies left that I typed out for this story so far, so I really need to get off my butt and keep writing it. But, I also have End This Requiem to write too. Man, it seems like I have more stuff to do than I did during the school year (that can't be possible!)
Reviews:
ZimXGir: Thanks for reading my fic! Yay, I have more reviewers than I thought I would! This so cool! gleams Anyways, yah, Kaeli was pretty sneaky there. Hope you enjoyed this chappie!
Lyphe: Yah, 10 days being gone is long...but I'm back now! Well, DDR takes a lot of practice, especially in Heavy mode. If you have the game at home, it helps a lot. I've been playing for a little over a year now. I'm in Heavy mode, but I still can't do a lot of Heavy songs (some are just so darn hard- like Max 300 or something).
Zanisha: Did you update in your stories? I'll have to check! Oh yah, and I need to remember to put everyone on my author's alert list. We're getting a new computer on Monday, so guess what? I won't have to keep going to the library to review, and it won't freeze every ten seconds! Yay!
HisLight: Ugh...now we gotta fix those combos that we were doing wrong! Oh well. I know, you're gonna be gone for 10 days! So, we've been apart practically 18 days if it wasn't for me coming home at 10. Aeh!
SaeSawanoguchi: Yah, if I had the arcade form of DDR, that would be the best! I know they're expensive, but do you know exactly how much there are? That would be so cool to have an actual DDR machine in your house! Yes, I'm finally getting to the competition stuff, but I like to set everything up. You need to get attached to the characters.
Well, everyone, thanks for reading! Now review!
