Zee pulled herself reluctantly away from Bruce who wouldn't let her out of his embrace. She turned to the crowd and announced, "Well folks hope you are all enjoying the show", this was accompanied by more loud cheering, wolf whistles and fist pumping from the crowd.
Zee smiled at them, "Well we're not done yet, so you better get comfortable as there are more surprises coming", she winked at them all. The crowd roared appreciatively.
"Hal and John could you please grab the chairs from the sides of the room for everyone to sit on please? Could I please have volunteers to assist them too?", less than a minute later, Hal, John, Clark, Wally and Bruce who finally released her had assembled chairs for everyone to sit on. Zee smiled in gratitude and bowed slightly to them, they nodded in acknowledgement.
"Well everyone let's get on with the show!", she said before disappearing in a puff of smoke.
The lights went out as a huge white screen appeared before all and a light shone on it to reveal the figure of a man wearing what appeared to be a beret standing tall behind the screen. Music began to play.
Asi se Baile el Tango – By Veronica Verdier
In time with the music the man slowly moved his arms out to the side and slowly curved his right arm in as if he was embracing a woman in a classic tango stance. He turned slowly to the side and the crowd gasped as a woman was now in his arms, they sat mesmerised by this turn of events. The man and woman swayed from side to side slowly as they begin to dance the tango. As the song plays and the female artist began to sing.
Owww
Asi se baila el
Slowly sliding the steps, slow, slow, quick, quick, slow they danced their leg extensions and sultry movements dazzling the crowd all the more so as they could not identify the dancers. For all they knew they could have been professional dancers. The couple began to swivel round and round across the floor coming to a halt in the centre again in a lover's embrace. Their arms lifted straight into the air as the screen lifted into the air and disappeared. The crowd gasped in surprise when they saw that Wally was the man and that the woman was now standing behind him. Wally is wearing black pants with a white striped t-shirt a red scarf tied around his neck and a black beret on his head. Wally smiles at the audience as if he had a secret.
Asi se baila el tango,
The woman's arms dropped to wrap around Wally's waist from behind, as loud wolf whistles are heard from the crowd. Wally winked at the audience when another pair of arms appeared from behind him parallel to the floor as another pair of arms wrapped around Wally's chest from behind as well. Four pairs of arms join the parallel set at various angles. Patrick and Michael yell, "Go Wally!" as they throw a fist pump in the air in support. The arms disappear behind Wally again as three pairs of legs appear each side of him from behind pointed at an angle as Wally raises his arms to be parallel to the floor.
Suddenly Diana and Helena walk out either side of him to stand at the end of his outstretched arms. Both ladies wore a white skin tight long sleeved lycra shirt with black stripes and a black knee length pencil skirt with a mid-thigh split up the right leg with a red beret on their heads. Clark and Vic's eyes travelled up the length of their women's legs gulping heavily. They lifted their outer arm towards him and placed their hands in his as Wally spins both women in to him.
(Deep sigh) As they attempt to kiss him Wally just spins them out again and releasing their hands both Diana and Helena sigh with the artist. Mari and Shayera slide out from behind Wally and stand either side of him as he stands with legs slightly apart. Both wearing identical outfits to Diana and Helena.
Asi se baila el tango,
Both ladies turn to face him each wrap a leg around his and lean on him with Mari wrapping her arms around his waist leaning her head on his shoulder as Shayera wraps her arms around his neck and presses her cheek against his facing the crowd. As Greg and John's eyes widen at their antics and grab the front of their shirts to fan themselves as if they are sweating like mad. Wally rocks from left to right holding both women, then stops and drops his arms.
(Deep sigh) Both ladies sigh with the artist as Wally shakes them off gently and folds his arms. Both ladies take two steps away from him and look back at him but he shakes his head at them. Both ladies continue to walk away until they join Diana and Helena.
A pair of arms and legs wrap around Wally's torso and legs respectively crossing at the centre as all men present stare enviously. The crowd stare in amazement as Dinah and Zee swing out either side of him the owners of the arms and legs still connected with their other legs stretched out parallel to the floor. Again both ladies are wearing identical outfits to the other ladies. The crowd cheer loudly and start to clap in time with the music.
Asi se baila el tango,
The ladies slowly lower their raised legs to the floor and slowly slide down Wally's body to the floor staring up at him adoringly. Wally looks first at Dinah and then Zee and shaking his head steps over them both.
(Deep sigh) Both ladies sigh deeply with the artist as they watch him walk towards the audience.
Asi se baila el tango,
He stops and crossing his arms faces the crowd with legs wide apart. From behind a leg drops between his legs and is joined by another. The legs start to walk as Bea suddenly appears and slowly walks around Wally in time to the music. Wally's eyes widen when he sees her. All the other women watch on jealously as Bea seems to have Wally's undivided attention. Bea turns away from Wally and starts to walk away. As Wally stomps over to her and grabs her hand to spin her around into his body.
(Deep sigh) Diana, Helena, Mari, Shayera, Dinah and Zee all sigh with the artist.
Staring deep into each other's eyes they slowly raise their arms into position, Wally wrapping his right arm around Bea's waist as she places her left on his shoulder their other hands outstretched joining together as they start to tango. Their corte, swivels and turns and their progressive rock have the crowd and the ladies entranced. Wally and Bea look like a couple in love as they dance as if they have been for years. The leg hooks and their promenading as well as their posture and embrace when they come together are so seductive that the females of the room want to line up and dance with Wally as the men would like to with Bea.
Asi se baila el tango
Wally lifts Bea in the air and spins her around as she does a split mid-air and then brings her to the floor as he dramatically dips her as the song ends.
The crowd jumps to their feet clapping madly and whistling loudly, as Wally lifts Bea to stand up again he hears chants of Wally coming from his Operation Sucker Punch ladies as they clap in time. They get louder as the crowd joins them and then Bea kisses his cheek and steps towards the ladies and joins in. Wally blushes as red as his Flash costume, embarrassed by the praise and tribute. He bows several times in gratitude as he hears Patrick and Michael yell, "You rock, Wally!"
He turns to Bea who winks at him and blows him a kiss. He blushes again as the crowd laugh and wolf whistle at Bea's antics.
He bows one more time and zooms over to Helena wrapping his arm around her waist he zooms into the centre of the room. He steps away from her and bows as she curtsies in return. Wally then turns to the crowd and places a finger on his lips and with the other hand gestures to them to sit as he zips out again and appears again to place a microphone in Helena's hand. The crowd obeys his commands and quietens as they sit waiting in anticipation as Wally zips out again.
Music starts playing as Helena begins to sing. Vic sits on the edge of his seat waiting with bated breath staring lovingly at his Helena.
If you're not in it for love I'm outta here – By Shania Twain
Mind if I sit down?
Can I buy you a round?
Haven't seen your face before
Are you new in town?
It's the same old line
Oh every time
Are you here alone?
Can I take you home?
The other ladies start clicking their fingers in time with the music and sway back and forth where they stand. Helena continues to sing as she remembers all the men in her life and how she fell in love with Vic. He was the pick of the bunch as far as she was concerned the others had been douche-bags or morons that had only wanted her for her looks, money or family influence. But he needed to take that final step and she hoped that he would get her message from the song she was singing.
Now every woman sees
With every "pretty please"
There's a pair of lyin' eyes
And a set of keys
He says come be a star
In the back seat of my car
Oh but baby slow down, You're goin' way too far
Wally zips in next to Helena as they sing together
Let me make it clear
To you my dear
Helena, Wally and all the ladies sing together as they clap in time to the music, the crowd joining in.
If you're not
In it for love
If you're not
Willin' to give it all you got
If you're not in it for life
If you're not in it for love
Let me make it clear
To you my dear
If you're not in it for love
I'm outta here!
Helena sings as she looks at Vic who is nodding at her in time with the music. She can't tell if he has gotten the message but the mere fact he is enjoying the song is a good indication to her. Vic is proud of his Helena and grateful that a woman like her could love a man like him for all his idiosyncrasies, conspiracy theories and eccentricity. He loved her with all his heart and wanted to make her happy all the days of his life. He continued to enjoy her beautiful singing.
Babe I can change your world
Make you a cover girl
Yeah you could be a beauty queen
In a magazine
Now tell me, what's your sign?
Why always the same old line?
I'll be in number 409
If you change your mind
Wally zips in next to Helena as they sing together
Let me make it clear
To you my dear
Helena, Wally and all the ladies sing together
If you're not
In it for love
If you're not
Willin' to give it all you got
If you're not in it for life
If you're not in it for love
Let me make it clear
To you my dear
If you're not in it for love
Helena sings
If you're not in it for life
If you're not in it for love (Repeat)
I'm outta here!
The crowd again rises to their feet applauding and cheering in appreciation. They watch as Vic runs to Helena picks her up by the waist spins her around once and then placing her back on the ground. He then gets to his knees as the crowd gasp in shock and silence ensues all around as the Operation Sucker Punch team cross their fingers in hope with big smiles on their faces.
"Helena Rosa Bertinelli I vow from this day forward to make you the happiest woman in the world, will you-", the crowd move forward as one listening intently, "move in with me?"
The crowd all roll their eyes as the Operation Sucker Punch team face palm in utter disbelief. Helena smiles widely and drops to her knees and flings her arms around Vic's neck yelling, "About bloody time you idiot", as the crowd roars with laughter and applaud.
Vic rises to his feet bringing Helena up with him as she moves into kiss him, Vic places a finger gently on her lips to stall her.
"Sweet pea before we move in together would you marry me first?"
The crowd are rendered speechless as their jaws drop at the unexpected surprise. The Operation Sucker Punch team face palm once more at the off the cuff proposal and looking through their fingers wait for Helena's reaction.
Helena stares at him in absolute surprise as she too is speechless and can only watch in silence as Vic reaches into his pocket to pull out a small jeweller box. With tears in her eyes she watches Vic open the lid and drop to one knee.
"With all the love in my heart would you Helena my love take me and all my weirdness to be your ever grateful and blessed husband?"
Helena can only nod as tears run down her face, Vic pulls the ring out of the box and slides it onto her left ring finger. The applause is deafening as the crowd and the Operation Sucker Punch team clap and yell enthusiastically.
Vic rises to his feet to embrace and kiss Helena, who flings her arms around him kissing him back.
