Chapter 17
Mark is walking around the ball room. He noticed how bright it was and decided to come inside.
"This place is all cleaned up…when did they clean this place up?" he asks
He looks up; even the chandelier is shinning and clean. He doesn't remember how it looked before but for some reason…it looks better.
He felt the floors, sparkly clean and smooth. He gives a nod.
"This place looks nice" says John
Mark jumps up and turns around.
"You like it?" ask Mark
"It's beautiful…it's so big…and bright" laughs John
Mark laughs with him.
"I guess the guys…took time to clean the place"
"They did amazing"
"They sure did" Taker still doesn't know why they did it. He never seen them clean in a long time. He looks at John.
He is looking around the place; looking with awe. He can't take his eyes off the place. Taker smiles warmly and walks up to him.
"Would…you…?" Taker starts
John looks back at him. Taker stops and blushes as he tries to find the words.
"Well you make everything look so beautiful…and"
John gets closer
"Would you like to have a dance…?" ask Taker
John raises his eyebrow.
"With me?" he continued
John laughs a little.
"Of course" John walks closer to him "I would love too"
Taker smiles bright.
"Great…tonight…?"
"Yes…"
"Amazing…I'll get everything ready…and…" Taker stops. He just realized what he just asked. He hasn't danced in a long time; how can he dance now?
"And what…?"
"And…And…don't know"
John laughs "Food would be nice"
"Of course…I will get that ready too"
"I can't wait…Come on…let's hang around for a bit" smiles John
Taker follows John. He finds Chris.
"I'll catch up to you…in a little bit"
"Okay…I'll be outside"
"Chris!"
Chris stops playing and turns around.
"Yes master?"
"Tonight….we are having a dance…and"
"And?"
"I want one good music to dance to"
"Don't worry…I'll come up with something"
"It's tonight"
"TONIGHT!"
"Yes…I…didn't think that far" Taker says
"Well…I think I can do it"
"If not ask Shawn for help"
"Oh right…"
"You know what…don't tell him…I will"
"Okay…"
"Thank you…I'm actually looking forward to this dance now"
Taker starts walking out.
"I'm counting on you"
Chris nods "I got you my friend"
Taker smiles and walks after John. Chris turns around and heads to the music room.
"Alright everybody…let's come up with a song that they can dance too"
"What…?" they all said
"Oh right…I have to write it"
"Need some help?" ask Stephanie
"OH…of course…come help me"
"Tonight is going to be the night"
They start humming a sound. Chris soon starts getting ideas for the music.
"This is so amazing" cheers Shawn "How did you do it?"
"Well…we were standing in the ball room…" Mark starts "And I saw him standing there making every move beautiful. I went up to him and ask him"
"How wonderful…." Cheers Shawn
"I know…but…" Taker looks down "I never thought he would actually say yes!"
Shawn laughs out loud. "Amazing…"
"What was I thinking?" Taker growls as he washes his face.
"No master…it's perfect" says Shawn "You only have four pedals left…tonight you could tell him how you feel"
"I feel like a fool" says Taker as he looks at him. "He will never love me"
"Don't be discourage" says Shawn. Taker stands up and shakes his body; removing some water.
He then goes back to washing.
"I don't think I can do this" says Taker
"Yes you can. You must be bold. Daring"
"Bold daring" Taker stands up and shakes again. "Bleh…."
Shawn gets wet by the water. He looks at his candle to see them off. He just shrugs and lights them on again. Taker walks to his chair as he is drying up. He sits down and looks at the mirror.
"He is the one"
"Would you stop saying that…there is no "one"" says Taker
"You care for her don't you?" ask Shawn
"More than anything…" whispers Taker
"Well then, woo him; with beautiful music and romantic candle light…"
"When the time is right…" laughs Hunter
"How will I know…" Taker rolled his eyes.
"You feel slightly nauseous" says Hunter
"Don't worry master…you'll do fine"
"Just don't feel so nervous and tell John how you feel. Because if you don't you will drink cold tea for the rest of your days" yells Stephanie
Taker eyes widen; no one had ever raised their voice to him.
"Okay…" he whispers slowly
"In the dark…covered in dust" says Shawn "Dark and very very dusty"
Taker stares blankly at the mirror. He can't believe they are telling him these things. He is trying to prepare for tonight; now they are making him feel….scared…and bad. He swallows; hoping he can do this today.
"Now…let's get you cleaned up"
Taker stands still as the other clean him up. They first did the horns, and the teeth. Stephanie helps him with the nails. Hunter tries to do his makeup. Shawn pushes him aside.
"No no…" Shawn whispers "let's do the hair"
Taker just let's them clean him up. He doesn't know what else to do other than just sit. His mind is still set on John. He wants to impress…he wants to tell him. He wants to…he has to.
He starts smiling now. They are doing everything to help him. He goes along with their makeup part. He hopes it all ends up good.
They then turn him around to look at the mirror.
"Voila…you look so…so…"
"Stupid" says Taker with a straight.
"Can you at least try to smile?" says Hunter
Taker smiles wide; still looking a little stupid. Shawn steps in front of him.
"Okay…I can fix this"
John twirls around on his new tuxedo. He starts swaying around.
"It's so beautiful" whispers John
"I know…I know…it took me a long time to get the right one" says Styles
"I know…" John picks up a ripped up jacket. He throws it to the other eight that are ripped as well. John laughs. "Wow…"
"Hey…it's been a long time…I'm sorry I couldn't get the size right"
John looks at the tuxedo. It has a yellow jacket with a gold undershirt. The bowtie matches the gold. He looks at his pants. It is white with gold lines going down the thighs. His boots are gold as well. He starts doing the waltz.
"It for tonight" whispers John
Aj looks at him. He can tell that John is in love. He hopes the master will tell him. He really wants to move around now. He hopes John enjoys this night.
"John…" says Styles
"Yes…" John looks at him
"There is something missing" he said
John looks at his jacket. "What…?"
Styles look up to see different designs. "I think I got it"
He chants something and the little designs starts going around his jacket. He twirls around and looks at the beautiful details on the design.
"There we go…" claps Styles
Hunter walks in "Whoa…you look handsome"
"Thank you"
"The master is ready…" smiles Hunter
"I am too…" John takes a deep breath and walks out the room. He stops at the stairs and looks at the Beast.
Mark walks out of the room. He stands on top of the stairs. He is waiting for John. He then sees him. Taker eyes fell on him and he melted. John looks so handsome; in the tuxedo. Taker couldn't move. He is amazed by how handsome John is.
Shawn taps his shoulder.
"Go…" he whispers.
Taker adjusts his bow; and jacket and he starts walking down. John looks at the tuxedo Mark is wearing. It is royal blue with white undershirt. The jacket had a tail which made it look neat. His pants are black with blue line going down the lines.
They meet at the bottom of the stairs. John smiling warmly to him while Mark had the biggest smile. He can't control his smile. He lends out his arm. John gladly takes it. Mark turns towards the entrance of the ball room.
"Tale as old as time" sings Stephanie "true as it can be, barely even friends, and then somebody bends unexpectedly"
Just a little change
small to say the least
both a little scared
Neither one prepared
Handsome and the beast
John stands in front of Mark. They are in the middle of the dance floor. John bows first and then Mark bows to him. Shawn and Hunter are standing next to Chris who is playing the music.
"Nice song" whispers Shawn
"Thank you" Chris whispers
John lends out his hands. Taker looks at him; wondering if he can. John nods; telling him to hold them. Mark places his hands on John's hands. John then steps to the side and starts dancing. He then steps to the other side. Mark follows after him. Mark then makes them turn around slowly.
Ever just the same
Ever a surprise
Ever as before
And ever just as sure
As the sun will rise,
Tale as old as time
Tune as old as song
bitter-sweet and strange
Finding you can change
Learning you were wrong
Mark leads John to walk up in step. John twirls and lifts his arms. Mark lifts and places it next to John's. John then turns back to face the front; and Mark grabs his hand. The beast twirls him around and makes him stand in front of him. Mark then holds him; like how you would in the waltz. John smiles wide. Mark twirls and sways John to the music. He turns him around; going in step; neither one of them looking away. Mark makes John turn around again. He catches him and dances with the soft music. They both go in step. They then turn fully around and catch each other.
Mark leads him back and pulls him towards him. The beast slowly brings John down and the time stopped. Mark stares at John. Mark then moves him and picks up him. John wraps his arm around Mark's neck and hangs on. The beast twirls around with the music. John and Mark locked eyes as they were going around in circles.
Certain as the sun
Rising in the east
Tale as old as time
Song as old as rhyme
Handsome and the beast
Tale as old as time
Song as old as rhyme
Handsome…and the beast
Mark places him down and those starts swaying to the music. They are both doing the waltz and John followed every move with Mark. The music then starts to fade. Mark makes John twirl around and he then twirls with him. The music gets quiet. Shawn lowers the light to the candles.
"Handsome…and the beast" sings Stephanie. The songs slowly fade.
"Nice singing" whispers Shane
Mark let's go of John. He looks at him; wondering what to do next. His heart is racing. He has to think of something; John is waiting for him. Mark lends out a hand. John takes it and Mark pulls him towards him.
The others holds their breath; wondering what he is doing. The beast swallows as he leans closer to John. John stands still; not moving; not knowing what is going on.
Mark then kisses him.
I wish there was a kissing scene in the movie. but oh well...
