A/N: Oh yeah! It's time for some serious match-ups to take place…as well as a serious jump in the storyline! This chapter is, of course, set to part of Fall Out Boy's "Dance, Dance."
------WHEN THE RAIN FALLS
Chapter 7: Dance, DanceGali put on her best blue sweater and a turquoise skirt. She spun a bit, trying to imagine what dancing with Lewa would be like. Her skirt swished as she spun, and then her mom walked in.
"Ready, Gali?" She chuckled.
"Yeah, mom."
She got in the car and they drove to Lewa's house.
"Thanks Mrs. Riviera. It was nice of you to pick me up."
"Now just don't start first-basing it in the backseat. Okay?"
"Mom!" Gali laughed.
They drove to the Middle School, and met up with Hahli and Pohatu. Gali slapped her cheek.
"Pohatu! I didn't know Hahli cast her seduction on you TOO!" She said mockingly.
"Haha," Pohatu said, also mockingly. "Very funny, Gali. Now let's get out their and DANCE!"
They opened the gym doors and walked into the room. The DJ was taking request, and soon a list was made. The DJ made the first song pick.
"Get ready to Dance, Dance to Fall Out Boy!" The DJ yelled. Some people groaned at the horrid pun, Pohatu being one, but most people just cheered at the song pick.
Everyone began clapping with the music and soon cleared a circle in the middle, as in the music video.
She says she's no good
With words but I'm worse.
Gali and Lewa moved closer to the circle. Pohatu and Hahli did as well. Another couple took the dance floor with some subtle, mysterious moves.
Barely stuttered out "A joke of a romantic,"
Or stuck to my tongue.
The couple moved off and a different couple stormed in, taking more aggressive moves.
Weighed down with words too
Overdramatic
Tonight it's "It can't get much worse,"
Versus "No one should ever feel like…"
As the music pumped up, Hahli and Pohatu stole the show. Their moves got cheers from everyone as they danced their way all over the circle. Gali and Lewa stood in anticipation.
I'm two quarters and a heart down!
And I don't wanna forget how your voice sounds!
'Cause your words are all I have, so I'll write them!
So you'll need them just to get by!
During the short interlude, Lewa and Gali took center stage. As the chorus began they danced like no tomorrow! The most aggressive moves yet were being shown by them. They shimmied and shook and took dancing to the next level. Gali's skirt flew, and Lewa was having the time of his life.
Dance, Dance!
We're falling apart to half time.
Dance, Dance!
And these are the lives you'd love to lead.
Dance, this is the way they'd love. (They'd love…)
Dance, this is the way they'd love. (They'd love…)
Dance, this is the way they'd love,
If they knew, oh,
How misery loved me…
Other dancers joined the circle. Everyone began dancing the same, and as the song finished, every dancer was cheering.
Dance, Dance!
Dance, Dance!
Dance, Dance!
Dance, Dance!
Gali came right up and kissed Lewa in the middle of the circle. The kids cheered as they saw the act. Lewa did not notice, as he was too caught up to realize that a hundred kids were seeing the most intimate act in his life.
As they pulled away, Lewa's cheeks couldn't have been paler. A few seconds later, realizing what the kids were cheering about, his face couldn't have been redder.
"Lewa, no," Gali exclaimed. "It's okay."
He smiled and wished the moment would last a lifetime.
The party lasted for another two hours, during which there were a number of slow dances. Lewa loved the dance.
Hahli whispered, "I think those two are a fine couple."
Pohatu chuckled. "I guess it was meant to be…for them…and for us."
When the dance ended. Gali and Lewa rushed to the Riviera's car.
"Thank's for being on time, mom!" Gali laughed.
"Would you expect any less?" Her mom said, raising her eyebrows at Gali.
While the dance was going on, Kopaka was taking things into his own hands. Armed with a flashlight and a notepad, he was determined to find out what was going on at TAKAMU.
"Hmmm…" He murmured as he saw an 18-wheeler making a delivery to TAKAMU. "What's he delivering? If it were nuclear substances, it would be a different kind of truck. If it were building supplies, it would probably not be covered, but on palettes or tied down.
He wrote this down in his notebook, and stuffed it in his jacket. He crept up along the fence and suddenly clasped his hand on his neck.
"Stupid bees!" He said spitefully.
After another few feet, he felt tired, and suddenly realized an important fact.
"Bees don't fl…y…at…ni…"
Tahu heard Kopaka's parents call around, asking if anyone knew where he was. He quickly circulated it to the other 4 kids.
Kopaka had disappeared.
Ending Notes: Oh yeah! You know you're lovin' the suspense! Who got Kopaka? Where is he now? What will happen to him? Tune in next time for Chapter 8: Wrong Man for the Job
