Just to let everyone know. Cooper Nielson is a character in this movie called center stage. At the end of the movie there is a ballet performance. Which is really cool. I've seen it many time. It was after I watched Ghost Hunt that I thought. It would be cool if Mai was dancing in it. Go to Youtube and search for Center stage final dance. Its 9:23 in length.
Chapter 15
Everyone took their seats. There was a slight delay, but as Mai said the show must go on.
The curtain rose and the show began. Mai was beautiful. Naru watched her become her character and loose herself in the performance. He now understood what that woman had been talking about. Anyone whether they understood ballet or not, would be mesmerized by her movements.
The show ended and the audience went nuts. They cheered and cheered. After 14 curtain calls, Mai was finally allowed to retreat to her dressing room. She loved the feeling after a great performance.
"Congratulations, Prima Donna." Masaru said as he leaned on the door frame.
"Not even you can ruin this moment." Mai smiled and began to take off her make up.
"I see your door has had better days." He gestured to the splintered remains that were against the wall outside. "So who knew Trinity would totally lose it. Glad you're okay. Still hate you though." He smiled.
"Oh believe me the feeling is mutual." Mai said.
"Mai, you were wonderful!" Ayako cried as she pushed past Masaru and into the room.
"So when's the party start? I'm famished." Monk groaned. Ayako sent him a death glare. Mai laughed.
"Sorry Monk. You might want to go eat dinner. The party has probably been cancelled." Mai smiled apologetically.
"What? Why?" Monk looked upset.
"Well all the questioning. I think everyone has had enough." Mai explained.
"Oh no the party is still on and you're expected to attend. Your adoring public would be disappointed and I need you to go around tell everyone to buy my art." Masaru turned and left.
Party
"I get to have the handsomest man as my date." Mai laughed. Naru didn't really want to attend the party he was tried. Lin bailed, but everyone else was there.
"Come dance with me, Mai!" Yasuhara came and pulled at Mai's arm. She was in a long halter dress. It sparkled in the lights. It was backless and had a slit up the side. Her hair was in an elegant up do.
"I don't think I can in this dress." Mai gestured to the long back. "Besides where's Masako?"
"Masako will only dance if you dance. Besides she doesn't know my moves." Yasuhara began to walk like an Egyptian.
"I'm surprised I do." Mai was pulled to the dance floor.
(Shake it up by Selena Gomez. I had this song stuck in my head for weeks. I don't mind it, but when its in your head you tend to want to dance which isn't good in public, especially if your uncoordinated like me.)
Don't like waiting [x2]
Lets go right now!
Gotta' hit the ground
Dancing before the music
Slows down
What I'm sayin' [x2]
If there's something to fix
take it to another level,
This is the remix
Everybody, everybody
Get out on the floor
It can get a little crazy
When the kick hits the floor
Make a scene [x2]
Nobody can ignore
Don't knock it, til you rock it
We can't take it not more!
Bring the lights up!
Bust the doors down!
Dust yourself off,
Shake it up!
Shake it up!
DJ set it off!
Take it up a notch
All together now!
Shake it up!
Shake it up!
Shake it up!
Break it down [x2]
I've got something to say
When you're dancin' whit me,
It's like we go MIA
Make a scene [x2]
Nobody can ignore
Don't knock it, til you rock it
We can't take it not more!
Bring the lights up!
Bust the doors down!
Dust yourself off,
Shake it up!
Shake it up!
DJ set it off!
Take it up a notch
All together now!
Shake it up!
Shake it up!
Sh-sh-sh-Shake it up,
You gotta change it up!
And if the days not right?
Just brush it off tonight!
Put on the attitude!
Your in my pocket mood
And when you've had enough,
Sh-sh-sh-shake it up!
Bring the lights up!
Bust the doors down!
Dust yourself off,
Shake it up!
Shake it up!
DJ set it off!
Take it up a notch
All together now!
Shake it up!
Shake it up!
Mai walked back over to Naru. "Why don't you go ahead home. You look beat. I'll finish up and meet you there." She kissed him.
"Alright, but be back soon or I'll have to come looking for you." He teased her.
Mai watched as Naru walked out of the ballroom. She looked over and saw her family dancing away. Yasuhara and Masako had replaced Mai with John. Who was doing very well at keeping up.
She bid everyone a goodbye and grabbed her things took a quick trip to the bathroom.
Naru
Naru walked into the apartment. There was no greeting from the animals, they were at Ayako and Monk's place. He climbed the stairs and got ready for bed. He slumped down on the bed and looked at the clock. A half an hour had gone by. He heard the front door open and close. Mai was back.
He wondered what was taking her so long. He was still in his dress clothes he had been too tired to take them off. He got up and walked to the stairs.
"Mai?" he called. He looked out to see the room was filled lit candles. He started down the stairs. Mai came out of the kitchen with two glasses of wine. The room was cast in shadows.
"I thought it would be a nice surprised." She handed him the glass. "Cheers to a happily ever after filled with lots of babies."
"Are you sure that's what you want?" Naru asked her.
"I've never been surer" and she kissed him. "I have another surprise for you." Mai slipped off her clothes to show off her lacey underwear. "Do you like it?" she giggled.
"Of course." He began to kiss her passionately. She ripped his shirt off and then his pants. They didn't make it to the bedroom this time. Instead they had sex next to the piano next to the stairs.
"Hmmm is something wrong?" she asked him.
"No nothing. Is something wrong with you?" he was concerned.
"No why do you ask?" She began to kiss his chest.
"It just felt different this time." Naru said.
"Was it bad?" She asked.
"No it was just different." He lied.
"Maybe we should take this upstairs then." She grabbed her silky robe and threw it on. Naru pulled on his pants.
"I thought that got stolen?" he asked pointing to the silky robe.
"I guess I was wrong. I found it upstairs." She said and took his hand and began to lead him upstairs. "Let's make a baby."
"Over my dead body!" Mai growled. She turned on the lights. Standing in the middle of the room in her gown was Mai. So then who was with Naru?
There was a click as Mai imposter handcuffed him to the banister.
"Mai!" Naru yelled. "Wait what the hell?"
"That's what I would like to know! What the hell?" The imposter cried.
"You slept with my husband! You bitch!" Mai was raving.
"He's my husband! He loves me!" the imposter screamed. Naru now got a good look at her. She was almost exactly like Mai. Except her face was a little different. In the light her could see now. Why did he feel so confused…. What did she put in the wine?
"I'm going to kill you and then I'm I'm—well, not sure exactly what I'm going to do with you" she pointed to Naru. "but it will be painful!" Mai growled at the two of them.
"Get of my home!" The imposter moved further down the stairs. "I'll call the police!"
"Don't worry. I'll be sure to call them to report your murder! I think the jury will understand!" Mai screamed.
If your wondering what the hell just happened. That was what i was hoping for. Trinity was not the stalker. Its all explained later, but I needed to do something to make it confusing. Hope you like it. Please Review.
