Growl (Open)

[Forrest & Skye Cheng]

Why were the twins alone in the auditorium? Well, little known to most people (except actually known to a lot of people, because the twins were bad at keeping secrets), the two boys had a very strong interest in dancing, especially hip hop. They were inspired by K-pop idols (which was another little-known but actually well-known fact); they wouldn't admit it (this actually was a secret), but they hoped to be in the business themselves someday.

Anyway, they liked to practice on their own without an audience, unlike their usual acts messing with people and pulling pranks. They had the place to themselves, with their song of choice playing loud over the speakers - Growl, by EXO. It was a tough choreography to teach themselves, but they were finally getting confident with their performance, and were pretty sure they could perform in front of a real audience soon.

"So dangerous~," Skye mouthed along to the lyrics, not watching his brother in the least. The awesome thing about being gestalts for dancing was they were both constantly aware of where the other one was and what they were doing; they were in perfect sync all the time, it was just a matter of learning the dance.

The music was probably loud enough that someone passing by the auditorium could hear it - but the boys weren't paying any attention to whether or not someone was watching, they were determined to get this dance down!

[Maria Memoir]

After gathering materials for the end of break, Maria Memoir walked through the halls, making herself familiar with the building and the rooms she was supposed the go in this semester. She could never be too careful about information. She felt obligated to help anyone get ready, and in order to do that efficiently, she had to be ready. 

 Maria felt as though she was all set to enjoy the rest of her vacation, but she knew in her inner being that that wasn't enough. So, she checked near the auditorium one more time when she heard loud music coming from the large room. Now, the particular song wasn't so loud on its own. She could tell that if the song was on an ipod or something, it could end up being rather soothing. The only thing that made it loud was the acoustics, which made sense because because it's an auditorium, and the fact that whoever was playing the music was cranking up the volume pretty loudly.

 Was there a party going on? It wasn't like she was all that interested, but she still didn't know anything about it. If there was a party, why wasn't she invited? Well, it was obvious. She didn't really have all that many friends, and none of them were all that close with her. So, she decided, through pure curiosity, that she would take a peek to see what was going on. So, once she opened the door, she was surprised to see two boys, one blonde and the other brunette, dancing to the Korean music. Yeah, after opening the door, she realized that she really couldn't understand a word of the lyrics, but her curiosity just continued to grow, which was weird for her.

 What are they doing? she thought. Are they dancing? After watching for a few moments, she realized that they were. How were they figuring out the dance moves? Who were they? If she could really recall, she knew that they had to be the Cheng Brothers. You know, Forrest and Skye Cheng? She didn't know them personally very well, but they did have a bit of a reputation. How could they not? They're constantly with each other! They do seem to have different personalities, but that's how opposites attract.

 So, knowing what was going on, she still had to know why. She took a breath, sighed it out, and entered the auditorium. "Hey, you're the Cheng Brothers, right?" she asked. "I'm Maria Memoir. What are you guys doing?"

[Forrest & Skye Cheng]

It was about halfway through the second way around the chorus that the boys became aware of someone entering the auditorium. Normally they would pounce at the chance to meet a new person (especially if they were cute!), but right now they were in the zone, and were going to finish this song before greeting the newcomer. Hey, at least she'd get a show, right?

It was only another minute or two until the song did end, however, and the two outgoing boys took their bows, pretending there was a large audience applauding before them. They lived to be in the spotlight, after all. Beaming, they hopped off the stage, both panting lightly from the exertion. "That's us!" Skye chirped, ecstatic to be recognized. They were mostly known for their pranks - nearly everyone had been the target of, had watched, or had seen videos of their jokes, which they always tried to make as viral as possible around the school.

Forrest, the darker-haired twin, offered his hand. "Nice to meet you, Maria," he grinned. "I'm Forrest, and the less talented dancer over here is Skye."

"You wish!" Skye shot back with a punch to his brother's shoulder and a laugh. Their bickering was all just for show, of course. "We were practicing a new K-Pop choreography. We gotta get this stuff down if we're gonna be Korean idols when we're older," he told her seriously. It was definitely something they wanted to do - they were even thinking about auditioning this summer.

"Annyeonghaseyo!" Forrest added. "What did you think? Looked awesome, right?" Both of them grinned at Maria expectantly.
