Based on the actual series – this episode is based on "All the Wrong Moves," so here we go, Tribute to Alexis part 2
Seaford High
Eddie, Milton, Kim, Jack and Alex were sitting in the cafeteria. Jerry came running over carrying his speaker and his IPod. "Guys, I got the opportunity of a lifetime," he said putting the speaker down at the table. "We're gonna be rich!" he said smiling from ear to ear. "For the last time, your mom's car has a leak, there's no oil under your house!" Milton exclaimed apparently for the last time. "No, I signed us up for the battle of the dance crew's competition at the mall, check it," Jerry said showing them the poster. "Wow, first price wins a thousand dollars," Kim said impressed. "This isn't just about the money! I've always loved dancing, you know when I was a baby my mom hung a disco ball over my crib," Jerry said smirking. "Did it ever fall on your head?" Jack asked laughing as he stood up. "Did what, ever fall on my head?" Jerry asked confused. "Jerry, that sounds great, but we're not a dance crew," Eddie said doubting this thing. "I have the skills, and I'll teach you the moves," Jerry said smoothing everything out. "And if we work hard, we can win this together. Now what do you say?" he added excitingly. "I'm in," "Ok," "Sounds good," they answered, but not Alex. "I can't!" she said and looked guilty for saying no to Jerry. "Come on why not? I'll teach you what you need," Jerry said hoping she would join. "Eh, I… I just don't think I can do it," she said nervous.
Many pretty pleases later they had persuaded her, more forced her, but what difference does it make? Now she sat in Falafel Phil's together with Jack and Jerry. "Is it just me or are these Falafel balls greasier than usual?" Jack asked squishing one. "Nah, that looks about right," Jerry answered careless. "Tell me again, why are we eating at this place?" Alex asked looking strangely at the food.
"Hello check it out, that's Dan Brannon. He's the best dancer at our school," Jerry said motioning to a guy dancing in front of a girl, "They call him Smooth," Jerry said in admiration. "Because he's got great dance moves?" Jack asked. "And his skin's crazy soft. Dude we're talking velvet!" Jerry answered. "That's just strange," Alex chuckled.
"Hey Jerry, Alex," Dan said and winked at Alex, the boys rolled their eyes. "Jack," Jack said when Dan looked at him not knowing his name. "Ehh," was Dan's only answer, and he started talking to Jerry. "I heard you karate clowns signed up for the dance contest, you know my crew the Stepbrothers win every year," he informed the present warriors. "Yeah I know. Just because you win every year doesn't mean other people shouldn't try," Jerry said. "Yeah, it kinda does," Dan said smirking, leaving Jerry confused. "See, I suggest you leave the dancing to us and stay in your little karate club!" "You know we're not just a karate club, we also offer free counseling to people with bad nicknames. You should come by and see us, Smooth…" Jack slap commented.
Dan looked peeved and walked back to their table. "You guys are just gonna embarrass yourselves. You might have some moves, but can you move, like Smooth?" he asked and did a step combination, showing off. He walked out, pleased with his 'show'. "Man, that was so cool," Alex admired his move and you could see Jack rolling his eyes. Smooth winked at Alex again, hearing her comment. "Yo, I can move like Smooth, it's just the split. I can do a split, check it," Jerry said and copied Smooth. "Dude I think your pants just ripped," Jack said and laughed together with Alex. "That wasn't my pants…" Jerry said making the others grimace.
Alex's POV
I sat in the dojo waiting for Kim to come back. "Alright now let's run the whole thing from the top. Now where did Kim go?" he asked realizing she wasn't here. "She wanted to change into her dance gear," Jack said looking over to the locker rooms, whatever that means. "Ok, let's do this!" Kim yelled coming out with 80's clothes trying to dance, I believe. We all looked at her strangely, considering her clothes, and the running she just did, no one can blame us! "What? This is a dancer's dress," Kim said matter-of-factly. "Maybe in the 80's and Poland," Milton said. I mean come on, even Milton saw it! "Alex, you tell 'em!" Kim said wanting me to back her up. "Well… you know you might find it in Switzerland too," I said and smiled innocently while Kim rolled her eyes at me. "Come on guys, we've got a lot of work to do! You ready?" Jerry asked us. "Yeah!" we all nodded, or they all nodded, I told Jerry I wanted to watch it first. "I can't hear you!" Jerry said rising the mood. Well he tried to! "Really? Cause that was pretty loud. I THINK YOU MIGHT HAVE SOME HEARING LOSS!" Milton informed him totally not getting the point, while I rolled my eyes. Jerry turned on the music and I watched.
I started out sitting on the bench, I still did, but I'll tell you I wanna be rolling on the floor laughing right now! "Wow, wow, wow!" Jerry said and turned off the music after yelling something in Spanish. I taught you guys this," Jerry did a wave through his arms and a ripple with his upper body, "You guys are doing this," Jerry said annoyed doing some strange dance moves. "Come on guys, don't you have any dancing experience at all?" Jerry questioned them. "Well eh; I have my own victory dance I do every time I win a match, ready?" Jack asked and did his victory dance. Wow, that was so not cool, but it was kinda funny! "If that's your victory dance I'm gonna start rooting against you," Jerry said obviously with the same impression I got. "It's been a while since I danced on stage but… I think I'm just as good now as I was then," Kim said sitting down next to me.
Kim looked up at us, like she had… I don't know how to describe it, but it wasn't her proudest moment! "Milton tell me there's a dancer hiding in there, somewhere!" Jerry begged. "Oh believe you me, I have busted many a move," Milton said and I think he thinks about the same I think. He kicked a shoe into an old man's mouth. "Eddie please, give me some good news here," Jerry begged our friend. "Well, I did go to miss King's dance academy," Eddie said smiling and raising his eyebrows looking into the air. He must have some memories! "Alex is a good da…" Milton was about to say something, but I cut him off by sending a death glare. "This isn't working! Come on guys this is important to me, you've gotta start trying," Jerry said probably forgetting any chance of victory. "Wow… we're trying," Jack said. The others agreed. "Maybe we should just take a break," Eddie said and started walking out.
Jerry told the guys how he felt when he was dancing. His head's empty, he just feels the dance coming to him. He doesn't have to think, he does it because he loves it. I was about to say something, that I was ready to dance, to cheer him up. Of course Kim was before me, and offended him real bad. The words she said, I could've said them too, but not under those circumstances, I think. Jerry was talking about something he loved here! The other guys walked out. "Is dancing really this hard?" Jerry asked upset over the guys.
"No it's not," I said standing up. "Wait, are you saying you can dance?" Jerry asked me. I nodded slowly. "Man, that's awesome, show me what you can do," Jerry said getting all high. "I, I have stage fright," I said not really proud of it. "It's just me," Jerry said pointing at himself. "I, I'll try…" I said nervously walking onto the mat after taking of my glasses. He turned on some music and I started dancing. I could do it
… in front of Jerry. I couldn't do it in the competition though! "You're great!" Jerry said surprised. "Thanks," I said and we did a handshake.
Jerry had showed me his move 'the Jerry' and was now teaching it to me. We were dancing through it when I saw Smooth leaning against a pole in the dojo, immediately my legs felt weaker and I stopped dancing. "Smooth," Jerry said noticing him too. "That was a pretty crazy move you guys just did," Smooth walked closer. Jerry explained to Smooth why and how he had made the name for his move, and well, let's just say it didn't take a genius to come up with it!
The three of us walked over to Falafel Phil's. We sat down at a table and Smooth made an offer. He told us that dancing with the warriors was a joke, pretty much, and then he asked us if we were the best students in the dojo. Well, Jerry's not, I'm not, but I'm not bad! Anyway he told us that he was giving us a shot to be the best at something… because he offered us a spot in the stepbrothers. "You in?" Smooth asked. "Yeah…" "No!" Well that can't be good. I was quick to say no, I mean I didn't even really wanna dance with our crew! As I declined, Jerry was in. "Jerry, what are you doing?" I yelled in a whispery voice. "I guess I'm joining the Stepbrothers," he answered and shook Smooth's hand. Man, what are you doing, porridge brain? "Jerry, you can't!" I said taking his arm, but he just shook Smooth's hand anyway. "Wow, even your hands are smooth, dude what's your secret?" Jerry asked Smooth rubbing his hands. Ok, so I am in no way giving in or feeling temptation to join the Stepbrothers, but man I really wanna feel the velvet hands! "I make my own coco butter," Smooth said and took back his hand from Jerry. "Alex, my offer is still here," Smooth said reaching me hand. I looked at it, "I'm not joining your crew, but can I feel your hands?" I asked not able to hold it back. He thought for a second then nodded. I quickly rubbed his hand; I'd say it's more like velour, before I walked out from Phil's annoyed in Jerry.
A little later I saw the guys walking out of the dojo. I decided to train on my dancing; it's a long time since I've been dancing outside my room! You know if you don't count when I danced with Jerry a little while ago. "Alex? You dance?" it was Jack's voice. "No I don't!" I yelled quickly. "Well I just saw you, and you were great!" Jack told me. I mean, thanks man, but I don't need more people knowing I dance! "You must have imagined it," I said nervous. "No, I didn't," Jack said, "Why didn't you tell us?"
These guys a very persuasive! I didn't wanna dance in the first place, and I didn't wanna tell Jack I had stage fright either! But here I am, babbling about it, "I have stage fright Jack," I said sitting down. "Come on, that's alright," Jack said sitting down next to me. "Well sometimes it is, sometimes it's not!" I said motioning to the competition. "You can do it," he said. "No Jack, I can't! Last time I stood on a stage I humiliated myself. I'm not doing it again!" I almost yelled. "You shouldn't care about that anymore. Milton told me it was in fifth grade, you even go to a different school now," Jack told me. I froze in my seat. "Milton told you what?" I asked not sure if I should trust my brother with more information, he told him! "Why'd he tell you?" I asked really curious, yet angry. "I asked," he said nonchalant. "You asked? Well, why'd you ask?" I asked calming down. Yelling will get you nowhere!
Ok, so Jack didn't just randomly ask. It had gotten up that I didn't like big crowds, and Milton had answered. I promised Jack to try and do this but, I can't promise anything! The other guys entered the dojo; I guess this is a good time to tell them what Jerry did. "Ehm, guys, I don't wanna ruin your dancing joy, but Jerry and I was offered a spot in the Stepbrothers… and Jerry took it," I said looking down, not wanting to tell on him, but this was kinda important. "He, what?" everyone exclaimed shocked and mad I guess. But they have all rights to be. "I can't believe it," Kim said up upset. I guess she didn't like Jerry bailing on his friends either. We all walked over to Falafel Phil's again, where I had seen him last. There he was, with Smooth. "Jerry, what are you doing here?" Jack asked. "I guess you heard it, Jerry's a part of my crew now. He wants to dance with the best!" Smooth said answering instead of Jerry. "Seriously, that's why you're totally bailing on us?" Kim asked Jerry in disbelief.
"Yeah, it is true. Smooth's a great dancer, and it's my only shot to be a part of a winning crew!" Jerry said offending us all. "So you would rather win, than be with your friends?" Kim asked him surprised in his answer, in a bad way. "Look it's not about winning, this guy also makes his own coco butter," Jerry said nonchalantly. "Sorry girls, but that's life," Smooth said and placed a hand on mine and Kim's shoulder. The two of them both walked out and I can't help wanting to twist off his dancing legs. "Wow, his skin was soft," Kim said feeling her shoulder, where Smooth had touched her. "Yeah, I know!" I said thinking of when I first felt his velour, or velvet hands. We looked around us and all the boys were rolling their eyes.
End of POV
Jerry sat in Falafel Phil's by himself drinking a smoothie. Just then the rest of the gang walked in. "Well, isn't it eggs Benedict?" Eddie asked. (I don't really know what Eddie says!) "You mean Benedict Arnold?" Milton asked looking at Eddie confused. "No, I don't think I do," Eddie said doubting himself a bit. "Shouldn't you be practicing with your new smooth dance friends?" Jack asked mad at Jerry. "They're not my friends, they just used me to steal my move," Jerry said upset. "They stole the Jerry?" Alex asked knowing how cool that move looked. "Yeah, and it's not called the Jerry anymore, it's called the Smooth. He just named it after himself, zero imagination!" Jerry said hopelessly.
The guys all looked at each other - Jerry named it "The Jerry" aka after himself! "Jerry, you got us all excited about this dance thing, we said we were gonna do it together, and then you bailed on us!" Jack said disappointed in his friend. Jerry stood up, "Look, I'm never gonna be great at karate, or a great school person," He started, "Student," Milton corrected. "Whatever, dancing's the one thing I'm really good at, and I just wanted everyone to see that, but you guys are my friends and I shouldn't have walked down on you," Jerry admitted. "So, I'm sorry," he said and started walking. Jack and Alex exchanged looks. "Jerry wait, if you still wanna be in the contest we'll be your crew," Jack told Jerry. "Really? You guys are awesome!" Jerry said and started smiling. "Not at dancing we still stink," Milton said kind of ruining the moment. "Will you excuse me please, I'm on a date," Joan exclaimed and stormed out with her pocket ninja. Jack looked away strangely after the ninja bumped into him, when Joan stormed out.
Alex's POV
I can't do this! I'm freaking out and I'm only in the locker rooms in the dojo. I can't see the crowd, only Kim is watching me, we're not there yet! I shouldn't be nervous right now. Why am I nervous? We're heading over in ten minutes. I've gotta tell 'em. I ran out the door, when my pants got stuck in the door. I pulled… too much, I now had one short leg, you know my pants! "Jack, I can't do it!" I told him, when I saw him coming out from the guy's locker room. You know, I remember him being good at pep talks! "It's gonna be ok! But what happened to your pants?" he asked looking at the ripped leg. "I freaked out, and walked out, I slammed the door, and it got stuck, and I can't do it, I'm gonna explode!" I yelled holding onto his collar. "Come on, use this!" Jack said and handing me something. I let go of his collar and looked in his hand. He was holding a mask, a mask! He's a genius; no one will know who I am! I love him! You know… as a friend…
I hurried into the locker room again. I took off my glasses and put on some contacts. Yeah I use contacts, but it's so much easier with glasses! I removed my elastic, fluffing my hair down. I held the mask in front of my face; you couldn't tell it was me! I bent down and tied the mask under my hair. I was about to walk out when I looked down, my pants were still ripped. My left hand held on tight to the leg and the right ripped of an equal part. That was better!
I walked out into the main part of the dojo to see the guys studying me. "Girl, what it do?" Jerry asked dancing over. I grabbed his arm, spun him around me and flipped him onto the mat. "Alex?" Eddie asked and squinted his eyes. "Yes, it's me!" I said confused, is it that hard to recognize me? "Holy Christmas nuts!" Milton exclaimed. I rolled my eyes and started walking, "Are you coming?" I asked opening the door. "Yeah," they all said and jogged over.
We stood with the doors watching the stepbrothers dancing, they were awesomely good! "Wow! How about that? Come on people, give it up for the stepbrothers!" the girl working the mike yelled. The crowd cheered loud and…the crowd. My legs are starting to shake again. Come on Alexis Annabelle Krupnik, man up! No one knows who you are! "Did you see that last move? That was crazy, and how do you come up with something like that?" she asked. "By stealing it!" Jerry yelled angry. "Yeah!" we all yelled supporting Jerry. "Now let's give up for the last act of the competition, the Wasabi Warriors!" she yelled doing some wannabe karate.
At first we did some basic karate moves. Jack did his thing, with this psyche routine and it was time for some real dancing. The other guys did some background karate/dance moves, while Jerry and I started dancing. I can't believe I'm dancing in front of a crowd! We did this awesome dance routine (If you ask me) I did a reverse somersault, leaving the stage to Jerry. He did his awesome new move and we all finished by yelling wasabi! "Wow, that was awesome! I have the judge's results; the winner of the trophy and the thousand dollar prize is… the Wasabi Warriors!" she yelled, and we started cheering like maniacs, at least I did in my head! "Hey, karate club! They cheated!" the stepbrothers yelled running up on stage. "What?" we all exclaimed. I felt my legs go week again. "Excuse me, but how are they cheating?" the girl asked them. "Her, how do we know she isn't a professional dancer, why is she wearing a mask?" they asked pointing at, you guessed it, me! My hand grabbed Jack when I felt my legs weaker than ever. "Alright? You must remove your mask, or we'll have to give away the prize!" she said. My team all looked at me, I had to tell em. "Come on, she don't have to!" Jack yelled and put an arm around me. "Yes, I'm sorry, but it isn't a big deal right?" the girl said, and I know I had to remove my mask.
"Ok, just let me ask you? Is this girl a great dancer?" Jack asked the crowd. They all cheered. "Who wants to see her under the mask?" he asked and the crowd cheered really loud. Jack stepped in front of me and looked into the visible part of my eyes, "Can I?" he asked putting his hands behind my neck ready to untie the mask. I nodded slightly and felt the mask loosen. Jack removed the mask and Smooth was shocked were he stood. In your face Smooth! "Alex?" I heard some voices ask. I looked around and I just realized something, my stage fright…. No more!
Finished! Did you like it? I hope you liked it, at least I liked it! I'll get a link to their clothes on my profile... :) So this was like a new beginning for Alex and two reviews and I'll see you in my next chapter…
