So you can dance: A connverse & PriyaDoug short.
"You two lied to me in my face!"
Priyanka and Doug were a bit put off by the ranting of their daughter's friend..best-friend?? Boyfriend? Bea-friend?..Significant-other will do. They didn't know what the young curly haired man was speaking about at all, but he was quite livid, kind of he was smiling cockily, as if he knew something. They looked towards their daughter who was watching from afar, durian juice in one hand, snickerdoodle in the other. Indifferent to the scene except for the twitchy left cheek..
She's really trying not to laugh at them.
"Connie can't help you!"
Priyanka furrowed her brows before speaking in a cool calm voice. "Steven, what have we ever lied to you about?"
"I'm curious myself, we've always been straight with you, son."
Steven nodded as he chuckled darkly. He turned to Connie who tossed him her phone. He pulled a video. The sound of Missy Elliott "WTF" started to play...
The Maheswarans reaction was instant. They looked at their daughter pleadingly, who was feeling a bit smug and dunked her cookie into the juice then ate it.
She regretted it but didn't show it.
"So..you two don't dance..Right?" Steven asked as he showed them the video of them not only dancing, but doing so in a beautiful rhythmical, high-energy, sensual choreography; dressed in hip-hop style athletic wear that showed off their well made bodies. Surrounded by a group of other dancers who were cheering them on, inside of a dance studio.
"Ummm.." Doug started..
"That was just for fun..it was a one time-"
"We found your channel on tube-tube mom. Maheswaran Marjorie"
Priyanka glared at the result of her and Doug love, before turning back to Steven who was doing a very good Garnet stare. She actually felt guilty, they both did.
"So you got us, what now?" Doug asked
"He wants you to teach him how to dance and start coming to little Homeworld parties."
"Why can't you do that for him, Kahanni?"
Connie froze mid dunk, as she turned to her mother and father, their matching grins. So smug..so shit-eating.
"What?" Steven questioned as he turned to Connie, who found the floor quite interesting."You know how to dance as well."
"Not like them."
"Kahanni choreography, that's her tok-tok."
"You have a tok-tok, Berry!?"
Steven looked shocked at her bashful face. before looking defiant
"This isn't about me. This is about them two being hidden dancers."
Priyanka nodded, clapping her hands. "Ok..Steven, how much of the video did you actually see, cause we usually show everyone who dances and you'd be interested to see who come on after us. "
Steven's eyes widened in excitement while Connie's did so in embarrassment. At the same time they spoke. "No."
The verses restarted on the video..and Steven jaw dropped. A solo dance..
Connie had a solo dance.
Dressed in a blue crop sweatshirt over what seemed to be a blue leotard and with matching blue sweat pants that changed a bit loose around her waist, some black sneakers and black snap-back with the word 'B☆rry' in bubble letters, and her hair out of the hole.
He watched her throw and sway her hips, and twist her arms and body around. Watch her dip, spin, and control the floor, and audience attention with her movements before ending the performance with a split and wink, before the video faded out with her getting up.
Steven was jaw moved but he couldn't muster any words, as unconsciously wiped his bottom lip. The older Maheswarens took the opportunity to skedaddle getting up from the couch as Steven's brain began to reset.
Doug gave Connie a shrug of tease. " Good luck."
Connie looked surprised as her parents headed for the door. " Where you going?"
"To the studio, after all that I feel like a bit of exercise." Priyanka chuckled as she scratched her husband's chin, giving him a kiss before walking out the door.
"Have fun, don't break anything." Doug smirked as he closed the door behind him.. Not before Connie he mother's giggle her father's name.
The youngest Maheswaran shook her head when she heard Steven's voice.
"So..teach me?"
Connie sighed as she stepped from behind the island, walking up to him, taking her phone and putting on "WTF". She placed her hands on his hips before giving a kiss and smile.
"Lesson one...Feel the rhythm with your hips."
