The forfeit, a modded song

“Oh thank goodness,” Amanda allowed herself a few moments of reprieve before quickly pulling up her skirt. The nightmare was over, she could recover her decency and go home with her head held high. Well, somewhat. It was still a completely mortifying experience to dance practically naked in public, but she could at least find solace knowing that Evie’s ordeal was going to be much worse.

“Alright, fine. Pick your song and let’s get this over with.” Evie said, letting her bra fall to the ground and clasping her breasts with her hands. Amanda smirked, discreetly plugging a USB device into the machine with a custom song she picked to make her sweet, little rival sweat up a storm.

“Remember, you have to keep dancing here until you get all the stars.”

“Yeah, yeah, I know,” Evie replied with slumped shoulders. “… But you’ll be disappointed in how fast I can do this. They didn’t call me Happy Feet in High School for nothing.”

“I thought they called you the Pokémon Champion.”

“I had many nicknames.”

“You still do, Nekkid Evie. Well then, good luck.” Amanda started the song before joining the crowd. The music began, and the arrows poured on the screen. It was a sort of techno high-beat melody that started normal enough, but as soon as the beat dropped, it became hell.

“What? Why are there bones blocking the screen? Why did the arrows turn around?! Why is everything dark?!!” An exasperated Evie cried out as her feet did her best to keep up.

The crowd chanted and hollered at Evie, Amanda herself joining in on the action. “ Ugh, This is impossible!” Evie admitted defeat after one play. “You are cheating! This song is not on the machine!”

“Hey, you never said we couldn’t bring our own tracks. Besides, I’ve seen videos of people dancing it perfectly. All you have to do is be practice and learn the pattern. Shouldn’t be a problem for _Miss Happy Feet _herself.”

“Grrr,” Evie grumbled as the song started again. If she wanted to get out of there before sundown, she had to abandon the last scraps of her dignity. She parted her hands away from her body to move them with the rhythm, as if she was possessed by the melody. Evie gave it her all, much to the delight of everyone around her.

Her efforts proved fruitful… somewhat, she got one star out of three. The blushing woman wiped the sweat off her brow. It was going to be a long evening.
