Don't worry my dear friends I have not forgotten you! I just had a severe case of writers block!
Well, here I go!
The measuring for the outfits took much longer than it should have. Four hours long to be exact.
But finally, Karma was putting away the tape measure while Lani, who had been choosing out cds to practice with, began choosing dance partners.
"Ok, Taro your with Karma."
Taro nodded and shared a "look" with Karma.
"Nolo your with me, and since there's a lack of girls around here, I'm gonna have to pair up the rest of you with each other."
"What?!" Was the unison reply from the rest of the men.
"You heard me. Let's see, Vert, you take the guy's part and Monkey takes the girls. Tork, your male and Kurt's female."
Kurt glared at a cracking up Marky while Pork Chop bared the way of an escaping Monkey.
"Ok boys, in your places, Monkey Kurt, put your left hand of your partners shoulder and hold your partners hand with your right like this."
Kurt and Monkey begrudgingly followed Lani and Karma's motions.
"Ok now Taor, Nolo, Vert, and Tork, put your right hand of your partners hip."
Marky fell onto the floor in a fit of laughter while Vert and Tork awkwardly did as they were told.
"Before we get started with dancing," Karma said.
"You should learn how to lead your partner onto the dance floor. First the men lead their partner by holding hands then he bows, and the women curtsy. Try it."
Mumbling words that were probably deemed unfit for children to hear, Kurt allowed Tork to take his hand and lead him out to the cleared out space that served as their dance floor. Tork bowed, and Kurt curtsied.
At this point Marky was gasping for breath from laughing so much, Shirako was secretally videoing with a smirk on his face, and Pork Chop looked thoroughly disturbed.
Lani, while trying to hold back her own set of giggles, continued.
"Ok, yeah that's good, but now we teach you how to dance. Get back into your previous positions, that's right, now for those who have the male part, begin with moving your foot forward."
Tork and Vert did as they were told, but only Kurt had the good enough sence to move his foot out of the was before it was permantly flattened by Tork.
"YOUCH!" Monkey yelped and grabbed his foot.
"Monkey you were suposed to move your foot back." Lani gave an exasperated sigh.
"Well you didn't tell me that." Monkey replied while hopping on one foot.
"Let's try this again." Karma hit play on the cd player and classical music began flowwing out of the speakers.
"Right foot forward, left foot, right foot, that's good. Not put it to count, one , two three, one, two three."
Marky whiped a tear from his eye and continued watching as Tork akwardly danced with Kurt across the floor.
Shirako carefully, so not to alert any of the guys that he was videoing the whole time, put away his camera and began wondering what he should title this one on youtube.
Kurt, Monkey, Karma and Lani were rubbing their sore feet that had been stepped on for over two hours. And they only learned the basic step!
"That's it!" Vert said.
"That's all I'm gonna do for the rest of the year! I'm going to fall asleep and won't wake up till spring!"
"Unfortunately Vert, we only just began. Tomorrow we'll get into more complicated dances, and propper table manners."
"Propper? What's wrong with the table manners I've got?" Monkey asked. And he got his answer when all the racers looked sceptically at him.
"Ok, so I don't have perfect table manners, so what?"
"You don't have perfect manners period." Kurt stated while getting up.
"I'm going to turn in. See you all in the morning."
Well how was that?
reviews are always appreciated!
