8Hey guys, so Ijust wanted to update again today so that we can really get this story going. I hope you all like this new chapter!
If you notice this scene is a little out of order I did that on purpose, it wasn't a mistake.
Also, I own nothing except Jinx and the story.
For awhile, after Tanner and Lela left, nobody knew what to do. They all just stood around trying not to make eye contact. Then someone suggested that they all take this time to just relax and chill out, and that worked for a bit. But then people started to get more and more agitated. Butchy the most.
"All right, bring it in, everybody!" Butchy finally called out. "We needs to talk." Everyone huddled together with worried expressions on all of their faces. "Cause I'm feelin' a little lost, here, peoples! Ever since Tanner and Lela just walked off into the ocean, I got this sense that... things are supposed to be happenin'... that just ain't happenin'."
"We could rumble," Lugnut suggested. "That usually cheers you up."
Butchy considered it a moment. "You know what, I does love a good rumble."
Struts' bubblegum bubble popped, causing everyone to jump and Lugnut automatically comb back his hair... but his eyes caught something that made him stop mid-comb.
Butchy sighed. "But, no, that's not what's supposed to be happenin' right now, I-"
Lugnut weakly began tapping Butchy's chest, trying to say something that he couldn't quite get out.
"What?" Butchy asked. "Spit it out. Spit it out."
"Spit it out!" Rascal shouted.
"Look!" Lugnut finally squeaked, pointing toward the entrance to Big Momma's.
Everyone watched as one of the surfers began shimmering and shaking, then seized up and disappeared as if he wans't even there.
Everyone gasped in horror at what they just saw.
Struts squealed, "It's one of them of them surfer guys... who's always standin' behind us and never says nothin', he just up and-"
"Sparkled up and vanished!" Butchy finished in shock. "Into thin airs!"
"Oh, this doesn't look good!" Giggles cried, gripping Butchy's arm.
"You know what?" Butchy asked. "Maybe- Maybe somebody should sing something. Maybe like Lela would have done if she was here!" Butchy gestured toward SeaCat and everyone started agreeing, urging SeaCat to sing a song.
SeaCat grinned and with a clap he started walking. "I thought you'd never a- Huh!" Butchy stuck out his hand, knocking the boy flat onto his back.
"CheeChee!" Butchy called and everyone stepped back, making a path so CheeChee could be seen, leaning against the stage and filing her nails, obviously not at all interested in the conversation everyone was having.
Jinx ran over to where SeaCat was laying on the floor and groaning in pain. Jinx winced and held out her hand to the boy. "Are you okay?" she asked.
SeaCat looked up at her in surprise and took her hand.
"Hm?" CheeChee asked in response to Butchy calling her name.
"Sing somethin'," Butchy insisted.
Jinx pulled SeaCat up to his feet and they stood close together with SeaCat nearly a whole head taller than Jinx.
"Thanks. You're real groovy for that."
Jinx chuckled. "It was the least I could do..." She gasped quietly and looked over at CheeChee and all the other bikers and surfers.
"But I'm doin' my nails!" CheeChee complained.
Everyone started pestering her to sing a song. Jinx looked at the ground in thought, then up at SeaCat who smiled down at her. After another moment of consideration Jinx raised her hand in the air and loudly said, "I'll do it."
Everyone gasped and turned around. Butchy walked up to her with two of his boys flanking him. He menacingly looked over his shoulders at his boys, making Jinx bite her lip nervously. Then he relaxed, a huge smile on his face as he nodded and said, "Yeah, alright." Jinx beamed up at him and Butchy snapped, signaling two Rodents who lifted Jinx up onto the stage.
"Oh! Thank you," Jinx whispered to the two Rodents.
Suddenly, a beam of light shined down onto her. She stepped up to the mic, grabbed it to make sure it was level, and when the soft music started up she began swinging her arms like the Mitzi, Daisie, and Struts who always sang backup. Meanwhile, SeaCat was huddled with three other beach boys, whispering to them a plan he had.
Jinx started singing slowly, keeping with the tempo,
"Fallin' for ya, fallin' for ya,
Can't hold on any longer
and now I'm fallin' for you..."
SeaCat whipped around and with a big grin on his face he shouted, "5, 6, 7, 8!" and the music picked up.
"What?!" Jinx squeaked and, through some unseeable force, started dancing with the backup singers, swinging her hips and smiling. She finally whipped around, planting her feet in front of the microphone, and sang,
"The day started ordinary,
Boys walking by..."
"Walking by..." The backup singers repeated.
"It was the same old story,
too fresh or too shy..."
"Or too shy..."
"I'm not the kind to fall for a guy,"
As Jinx sang this she fell back, "swooning" and the backup singers caught her, pushing her back up so she could keep singing.
"Who flashes a smile-"
"That goes on for miles..."
Jinx had to duck as the backup singers arms flew up to point into the sky.
"Don't usually swoon
but I'm over the moon!"
"Cause he was just too cool for school!"
"And now I'm f-f-fallin'!
"For ya!"
"F-f-fallin'!"
"For ya!"
"I know I shouldn't but I,
I just can't stop myself from
"F-f-fallin'!"
"For ya!"
"F-f-fallin'!"
"For ya!"
"Can't hold on any longer and now I'm fallin' for you..."
Meanwhile, SeaCat and the three Beach Boys were preparing to throw SeaCat onstage. Once she finished that verse they threw him onstage and SeaCat mosied on over to Jinx, a smirk on his face. Jinx smiled back at him and stepped aside so he could sing.
"Now, we're going steady,
she's the cats meow..."
SeaCat looked over at Jinx with a smirk and she batted her claws at him while she and the backup singers sang,
"Meow, meow, meow-meow-meow!"
SeaCat laughed a little as he continued,
"She says, "Ready, Freddy?"
and we paint the town..."
"Paint the town..."
SeaCat held the mic as Jinx leaned in and sang,
"I'm not the kind to fall for a guy just cause he says, 'Hi,'..."
"When he's cruisin' by,"
SeaCat leaned into Jinx's vision and mouthed, "Hi," with a little wave. She pushed him away with a smile and sang while looking into his eyes,
"He's ready to race,
and I'm catching his gaze..."
"We'll go on like this for days!"
"And now I'm f-f-fallin'!"
"For ya!"
"F-f-fallin'!"
"For ya!"
I know I shouldn't but I-"
SeaCat leaned in and sang,
"I just can't stop myself from!
F-f-fallin'!"
"For ya!"
Jinx picked up the song and continued,
"F-f-fallin'!"
"For ya!"
"Can't hold on any longer,
and now I'm fallin' for ya!"
SeaCat took control of the mic as Jinx stepped away, following the backup singers dance moves. He watched her as he sang,
"It feels like I've tumbled from another world!"
SeaCat held out his hand to Jinx. She took it and he spun her into his chest, they rocked back and forth as he sang,
"Into your arms and it's so secure!
Maybe I'll stumble but I know I can,"
Jinx spun out of SeaCats arms and he continued, looking into her eyes,
"Head over heels,
I'm gonna be your man!"
"Yeah!"
Jinx grabbed the mic,
"F-f-fallin'!
F-f-fallin'!"
SeaCat jumped down from the stage as he sang the rest of the song following the backup singers dance moves,
"I know I shouldn't but I,
I just can't stop myself from!
F-f-fallin'!"
"For ya!"
"F-f-fallin'!
"For ya!"
"Can't hold on any longer,"
Jinx decided she would do a little spin and pose to end the song but while she was spinning she was much closer to the edge of the stage than she thought she was. Jinx slipped and fell from the stage but luckily SeaCat had turned around as he sang the last line and was there to catch her.
"And now I'm fallin' for you..." He sang softly with a smile on his face.
Jinx's heart felt like it was about to explode. She chuckled quietly and stumbled over her words, "I-I guess I really f-fell for you, huh?"
Suddenly everyone in the diner surged forward, all looking at Jinx and SeaCat with their eyebrows raised.
"Yeah, this... I'm not sure hows I feels about it," Butchy said.
"Yeah..." Rascal grabbed SeaCats arm, making him put Jinx down.
CheeChee grabbed Jinx and started slowly pulling her away. Although the pair were getting pulled away from each other their eyes stayed locked until they were both out of sight.
