The Arks: Over Heaven (by Ben)

Chapter 23.5: Time Paradox

Part 6/11

“This sure is an extravagant lookin’ place,” Neddy said as they looked around the place. The two had followed the large family into a manor, and there seemed to be a dance taking place. Lovers danced and twirled within each others’ arms and some classical music was playing in the background.

“Hey, look, it’s Samuel and Aurora! And they’re dancing!” Ruby gasped in shock. Samuel and Aurora were slow dancing, and Aurora was holding his hand and they looked like true lovers.

“Oooooh,” Neddy giggled, “If only I had a camera to save this.”

The two approached Aurora and Samuel, and as they did they began to laugh. The two turned to them with a peculiar look.

“Neddy? Ruby?” Samuel asked politely.

“Ha ha, you two should look at yourselves! You two look like you’re in loooove,” Ruby teased the two of them. Neddy and Ruby laughed, and Samuel’s face dropped in annoyance.

“We’re only dancing because some scumbag was trying to get with Aurora, so now we have to keep this game up or he’ll see right through us,” Samuel explained. Aurora hesitantly nodded along.

“Yeah, yeah that’s right,” Aurora said, “We hate each other's guts. I’d never be seen with the likes of Samuel.”

“Well we just caught you!” Neddy blurted.

The two laughed again, and Samuel shook his head in disapproval.

“Whatever, just go ahead and dance together or something,” Samuel said.

“You know what? That’s what we should do,” Ruby said. She turned to Neddy, and pointed a finger at him.

“Dance off!”

Ruby began to pull out a few crazy moves, twirling around like a ballerina and letting her hair flow around like crazy. After she was finished, Neddy did a dance of his own. He kicked the floor, began to move his arms back and forth, and finally to finish it off he moonwalked all over.

“Okay, okay you know your stuff!” Ruby shouted back, “But you can’t surpass this move!”

Ruby instantly dropped to the floor and began to do the worm, and somehow, she jumped back onto her feet, spun around, and all while on HER HEELS.

Neddy’s mouth opened in shock, and by now a crowd had started to form. Murmurs of excitement echoed throughout the manor’s halls, and even Mike the scumbag was watching in curiosity.

“Oh yeah? Well guess what?”

“What?”

“Chicken butt!”

“Gosh damn it Neddy!”

Neddy got on his head and began to break dance! Everyone gasped and began to cheer loudly, pumping their fists in the air as Ruby could only look around and watch in terror. She was losing the dance battle!

“NO! I can’t lose now!” Ruby thought with a glare, “We’ve only just started! Well too bad for Neddy that he used his last trump card too early. I already have something better than his little break dancing up my sleeve!”
