"Where are we going?" I ask out curiously, looking out the window of the passenger side.
We kept passing by people and lots of resturants. Earlier on today, my boyfriend, John, wanted to take us both out to eat. We don't really go out to eat much, so this is really special to me.
"You'll see," he smiled at me, his blue eyes sparkled.
After for what seemed like forever, we park in a parking place near a Mexican resturant. We both got out of the car and held hand in hand to the resturant we were about to dine in. My mouth watered; I love Mexican food. Eating here was going to be a wonderful experience. As we walked in, the waiter showed us to our seats, gave us some chips and salsa that was on the house, and asked what we wanted to drink. We both ordered water. I smiled at John and he smiled back at me. He gently put his hand on top of my hand that was on the table. I turned red and smiled. We both reached out for the chips and dunked them in the chunky salsa. I brought it to my mouth. It was delicious!
"Mmm!" I groaned out with my mouth full, "this is really good!"
John snickered at me for my lack of manners.
"Oh sorry," I murmered out, embarrassed.
John disregarded it and changed the subject.
"This place isn't only good for their food. I heard the entertainment is why the place is so popular."
"Really?" Astonished.
John smiled and held on to my soft hand into his rough hands. The resturant was lively with colors and Spanish music. I looked around and saw everyone was munching on their meals or they were talking very loud because of the music. There were a lot of posters on the wall with different pokemon. Such as one poster with a Tauros that says "Grab life by the horns". I noticed that there was a stage in the middle of the resturant, used for their special entertainment. After a few minutes we both got our food and dug into it.
"Let's rumble!" A guy on the stage yelled out into the microphone, everyone stopped talking and the Spanish music was shut off for now.
"Give it up for Maraca and the Maractus'!" The crowd went wild when they heard that.
On stage there were six Maractus, one of them was different than the others. The one in the middle had a pinkish color to her. She seemed to be the star of the show.
"One day, the Maractus were warming up their routine for the show!" The guy on the stage was the narrator of this show, it seemed. The regular Maractus started shaking, producing catchy music. The room filled with Maraca sounds. The crowd started cheering, throwing their hands up. The five Maractus formed into a circle and started bouncing while going around the circle.
"They've come up with special routine like..."
The Maractus' smiled and climbed up on each other like a huge skyscraper. The Maractus on the bottom must be really strong if it had to hold up all those Maractus'. Although it was a dangerous stunt to do, the Maractus didn't stop there. The Maractus also moved around, shaking their arms, producing loud Maraca sounds. They seemed to highten the danger. The crowd awed and cheered loudly! It was dangerous, I was worried that one would fall off.
"As they were practicing their moves to give you guys a good show tonight, Maraca sensed danger!" The pinkish colored Maractus sprung into action, jumped up and done a fancy flip in the air. She landed in front of her fellow Maractus, seeming to protect them from this "danger".
Suddenly booming sounds were heard, the stage seemed to have an earthquake. Although the crowd knew they were just acting, they reacted so strongly. The crowd screamed and begged that Maraca would protect them. The booming sounds continued, getting stronger and louder each "step" the creature took. I wonder what the creature was though. The Maractus' climbed down of their skyscraper and all huddled together, acting scared. Smoke emanated from the stage. Once the smoke cleared, the creature was revealed. It was a large Archeops! It roared at Maraca and flapped his powerful wings. The crowd boo'ed at the Archeops.
"Oh no!" The narrator cried out, "it's an Archeops!"
Again, the Archeops roared. The Maractus ran away in a halarious way and disappeared back stage.
"Maractus, wait, come back! Oops...looks like they've made it to the South of the Border by now." He joked, chuckling at the little joke.
The Archeops stamped his foot on the ground and roared out again. The shiny Maractus glared at the beast. She started moving her arms around, producing music that startled the Archeops a bit. But no matter how many times she shook, the beast would not go away. The Maractus used some fancy dance moves on Archeops.
She did some hand stands, while shaking. She spun around, did some fancy flips. All the sounds were starting to scare Archeops now, but Maraca knew she needed something that would send the giant crying home to his mommy. Suddenly Maraca jumped up and landed on the Archeops, on top of his head. And she started shaking, making the music much more louder and scarier to him. The Archeops cried out, spun around and ran away. Maraca jumped off and winked to the crowd. The crowd went absolutely ballistic!
"Maraca did it! She saved us all! Thank you Maraca." The other Maractus from backstage ran back out onto the stage. All the Maractus stood in a horizontal line, with Maraca, of course, in the middle. They all bowed down to the crowd, except for Maraca. She spun around in a circle and blew some kisses at the crowd. The crowd cheered. Some went home when the show was over and some just resumed eating. For us, John and I were done eating. John paid for our dinner and we left the lovely resturant. We held hand in hand, I snuggled up to him.
"That was a cute show, wasn't it?"
"It sure was, but not as cute as you, of course," He kissed me on the lips and he drove me home.
