Adrien made his way to the dance floor, he started bouncing with the music, and the crowd, slowly letting himself go, letting all of the stress, the limitations, the kind of life he had for years, feeling himself finally be free to express himself, all of his anger, his regrets, his happiness and sadness, all this time he had no way of letting all out, since he had to model and was always being controlled by his father, and modelling career, now, he was finally free.
Nino joined in, he had a massive grin on his face, and he poked Adrien´s shoulder and said
-Looking good buddy, ive never seen you smiling and laughing so much
-This is the first time ive ever felt so alive, its like, as if I could let myself go, and, I can finally express who I am
Nino smiled and said,
-Well, if that's the case lets hope you get selected for the competition tonight, who knows, maybe you will be one of the lucky selected
As Nino said that the music started to turn down, and the club became more and more silent, until a beam of light shone over one person, the dj said
-Say your name
-Time breaker
And just like that, people knew that the contest was going to start soon, of the hundreds of people on the club, only a few would be able to participate on the event this week, little by little more and more people got selected, only three more spots remaining
-Say your name
-Dark Cupid
Two more spots
-Isnt this exciting Mari, any of us could be selected!
-I don't know Alya, im nervous, what if I get selected
-C´mon Mari, what are the odds, besides, nobody here knows who you are, so don't worry if you screw up okay?
Just as Alya said that the light beam shone on Marinettes head, making her freeze from head to toes
-Say your name
-Uhm Mah…Bug….LadyBug
As the light moved away from her she felt her heart stop and Alya could not do anything else but smile and say
-Man, you sure are a lucky girl huh
-Alya this is not funny, ive never danced in front of so much people, especially for a dance battle!
-Just relax Mari, we came here to have fun remember? Calm down, and let loose, now, who will be the final dancer
As Alya finished her sentence, the light beam was on the other side of the club, and shining directly over a black hoodie with some green highlights
-Say your name
-Noir..ChatNoir
-Here they are ladies and gentleman, the 20 selected dancers for tonight's dance off, now lets begin!
A jumbotron came down from the ceiling, it had the names and photo of the participants, except for ladybug and chatnoir since they were new, so it was just a generic "blank" photo, little by little the contenders entered the dance floor each showing off their best moves, different styles were used, shuffle, hip hop, bugaloo, electro, even classics like salsa and swing, everyone seemed to enjoy themselves, even if they lost the battle
-Next contender, LadyBug VS DarkCupid
-Alright Mari, is your turn to shine, show him what you´ve got!
-What if I slip or freeze or pee or..
-MARINETTE DUPAIN CHENG YOU EITHER CALM DOWN OR IM TELLING EVERYONE THAT YOU HAVE A CRUSH ON ADRI…
As Alya was about to say it Marinette put her hands on her mouth and said
-FINE, ill calm down
Alya nodded gaining a smile from Marinette and said
-Just remember, let loose, and enjoy it
As Alya said that, Marinette made her way to the stage where Dark Cupid already was, and had a smug on his face
-A girl? Is this all you could come up with?
Marinette seemed upset at first but then smiled and said
-I see you have a loose mouth, hope you are as flexible with your chicken legs on the dance floor
As she said that the crowd gasped and cheered, thanks to that, the attention of certain cat was directed onto the stage and said
-Hey Nino, whats going on
-Oh yeah, you have to get ready, you are up next after this battle, so better get close to the stage before they start, anyone of them could be your opponent, well, that's if you beat stone heart first.
Nino and Adrien made their way to the stage, and looked as the battle was about to start
-Alright, dancers on your mark, since LadyBug is new, we are deciding by a coin toss, Ladybug?
-Heads
-Dark cupid tails then
The coin was thrown and tails was chosen, the crowd booed and Dark Cupid had a smirk on his face and said
-Im going to squish you like the small bug you are
The music started playing, at first it was a soft beat, that just kept getting louder and louder, faster and faster, the crowd cheered and the battle started, Dark Cupid started his dance by doing a handstand and spinning himself down to a six step, ending with a low ground pose, then it was LadyBug´s turn
INSIDE THE MIND OF MARINETTE
-Wait…is that it? A power move from the start? This guy is just showing off his muscles..I…I CAN BEAT HIM!
OUTSIDE OF MARINETTE´S HEAD
LadyBug started to bob her body to the rythym, left to right, and started with a six step, showing off her footwork, doing some twists, and then going into a windmill, ending with a standing up, arms crossed pose
The crowd was speechless, and slowly began to cheer, Dark Cupid looked mad and thus round two began, he started with some shuffle, and forcibly changed to a six step, and said
-NOW CHECK THIS OUT LITTLE BUG, AND LETS SEE IF YOU CAN KEEP UP
He did a flare and ended up on an splits position
The crowd went crazy and cheered and Marinette said
-Watch me
Marinette did some shuffle of her own, and combined it with bounce, to make it more stylish, then smoothly transitioned to a six step position, she started with a flare, and then transitioned to a windmill picking her whole body up, and then from the windmill stood up and back flipped on a splits position with her arms crossed and a smile
The crowd cheered yet again and the dj said
-ALRIGHT CLUB MIRACULOUS, ITS TIME TO CHOOSE THE WINNER, CAN I GET SOME AAAAAAAAAAA´S FOR DARK CUPID?
…
HOW ABOUT FOR THE NEWCOMER…..LADYBUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUG!}
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!
INSIDE OF MARINETTE´S HEAD
I…I won?..I WON I WON I DID IT!
OUTSIDE OF MARINETTE´S HEAD
-Woah, dude that chick has some moves don't you think Adrien?...Uh…Adrien?
INSIDE ADRIENS HEAD
-I don't know who she is, but….man, it sure feels as if I was destined to be here, with her.
OUTSIDE OF ADRIENS HEAD
-Adrien? AAADRIEN…BRO!
-Yeah!? Sorry Nino, I spaced out for a bit
-Dude hurry is your turn!
-Oh, alright! Thanks, wish me luck buddy
Nino gave Adrien a thumbs up, and as he was getting on the stage he passed next to Marinette and gave her a smile and said
-What an amazing performance, can't wait to see more of you
-Oh…Thanks, its my first time here, so I was a bit nervous
-Nervous!? You were amazing, im the one who has to be nervous if there are dancers like you here, atleast now I know im not the only new guy around, the name´s Ad….Noir ChatNoir
He said extending his hand to her
-LadyBug
They shook hands and the announcer said
-ChatNoir is your turn
-Welp, that's my call, guess ill clawtch you around M´Lady, wish me luck!
As he said that Marinette laughed a bit and Adrien made his way to the stage to were Stone Heart already was, Adrien smiled and said
-Ready big fella? Or what, cats got your tounge
-You wish, it will take more than a little pussy to intimidate me
Adrien smiled and the same rules applied, coin toss, and the winner was Stone Heart
MEANWHILE
Marinette made her way through the crowd to meet Alya, but before Alya could say anything she said
-WAIT! We have to see the fight first
BACK TO THE STAGE
Stone Heart started with some hip hop, his big bulky body didn't seem to matter too much, he was able to move pretty smoothly, sure not as fast as others, but he had style, now it was Adrien´s turn
INSIDE ADRIENS HEAD
-Okay Agreste, you´ve got this, he´s big, nut not fast…..just…let it all out
OUSIDE OF ADRIENS HEAD
He started with some bounce, and transitioned to do some jumping, moving his legs up, and using his torso and arms to add more style by pumping them in and out, the crowd cheered since that style was not so popular on the club, he ended with a freeze, with one hand on his chin, the other on the pocket of his hoodie, and leaning back a bit
Stone Heart smiled and said
-Not bad, but how about some power?
As he said that he started to shuffle, his feet were stomping the ground, making it vibrate even more, and giving out powerful sounds, that could even be heard with the loud music, the crowd cheered as he finished on the same freeze that Adrien did but his first hand over his eyes as to use them for when you try to see something far away mocking him. Adrien smiled and said
-Alright then, guess we are using the big guns huh, you asked for it!
Adrien started with jump again, but quickly transitioned to a windmill, and then a head drill, the crowds cheered was higher as he turned faster and faster, ending up with an upside down freeze, both his legs spread and a grin on his face, Stone Heart smiled and said
-Good match
-Same to you
The battle ended and the obvious winner was Adrien, the crowd cheered as the next ten dancers where selected, both Adrien and Marinette new that the fun had just began, and they could not help but smile from knowing that the night was still young
