Big Q's Casino // a DaveSport fanfic

3 // A PERFORMANCE WAS DEMANDED OF ME

AND I HAVE DELIVERED! ENCORE!

Title is obviously Funtime Foxy :)

》------《

Just as he promised, Dave showed up the next night. In fact, he was an hour earlier than he needed to be. After all, he didn't want to keep his newfound friends waiting. Speaking of which, he was sitting with one of them.

Jack was rambling on and on about different people in the casino he had gotten to know well, sharing his stories. Every once in a while, Quinn would pass by and chip in. One of the times though, Dave could've sworn Jack had slipped a note or something into the blond's pocket. He thought nothing of it at first, but eventually his curiosity got the best of him.

Just as he was about to open his mouth and ask, the lights suddenly dimmed. "Ooh, it's showtime!" Jack whisper-yelled, grabbing one of Dave's shoulders and pointing to the stage. Dave gave the tangerine a confused look before following the man's gaze.

Sure enough, the performers he'd met earlier were stepping up onto the stage. Someone else he didn't recognize stood there as well, front and center with their back turned to the audience. As the spotlights above the stage turned on, the crowd began excitedly cheering. The person then turned around, Dave finally realizing who it was.

"QUINN?!" he yelled in shock. The man in question sent him a wink and a mock salute. He heard Jack burst out laughing from beside him. Dave felt his face flush in embarrassment.

The crowd's cheers died down as the music from the band started up.

"Two, three, four," Quinn muttered. He pointed over at Dave and Jack, the latter of the duo smiled widely. He pulled Dave up from his seat as a spotlight shined on them.

"Pay the price, play the cards," Quinn sang as the crayon men made it on stage, the two being handed earpieces like Quinn's. "If you deal in right, then kid, you're gonna get far!" He placed a hand on Dave's shoulder.

"The stakes are high, give it a try," the blond gestured to the audience. "Place your bets, and we'll take you for a ride!" He smirked, knocking the aubergine slightly off balance as he let go, Jack catching him with a smile.

"Lost in the night," Quinn turned to the neon lights at the back of the stage as it displayed star shapes. "In the shimmering light," he placed his hands on his hips. "A palace of lies," quickly spinning to face the audience again, he threw his arms out to gesture to the whole casino. "Greed in your eyes!" The blond smirked again, holding both hands out to Dave and making direct eye contact with the other.

Dave didn't know when, but Jack had turned on his earpiece at some point. "Deal into the game, and you can surely win it big!" the tangerine sang. "It's your fate to choose, go ahead and lose your inhibitions!" He slung one arm around Dave, his free hand resting on the man's chest to hold him in place. "If you wanna play with power, then you're gambling with the king," Jack turned them both to face Quinn, who had his arms crossed with a smug look on his face. "So bet on the crown, casino royale, chase your ambitions!" Jack finished, gently letting go of the flustered aubergine with a smile.

"Take a chance, and you can win it all," Quinn started up again, calmly walking over to the duo. Dave, by this point, looked like a deer in headlights. "High risk and high reward, but it's your final call," the blond shrugged. "You can cash in now or play again," the man seemed to lose his calm demeanor as he sang. "It really doesn't matter, 'cause you'll owe me in the end!" Quinn threw his arms out like he had before, his smug look finally turning to a bright grin.

"Heed my advice," Jack chimed in again. He placed a hand on Dave's shoulder once again. "Eyes on the prize," he waved his hand as if he were pushing a curtain or something, Dave cringing a bit at the action. "Rollin' the dice," Quinn tossed a pair of black and gold dice to both Jack and Dave, the latter failing to catch one. "Better luck next time!" the blond yelled with a laugh.

"Deal into the game and then the world is at your feet!" Jack ran over to Quinn, the two singing together now. "It's your fate to choose, go ahead and lose your inhibitions!" The pair had draped their arms over each other's shoulders, and Dave could swear the two were like siblings. "If you wanna play with power, then you're gambling with the king!" A crown was tossed to Jack, the tangerine catching it and placing it on Quinn's head. "So bet on the crown, casino royale, chase your ambitions!" The duo let go of each other, Jack bowing to Quinn as if the latter were actually royalty.

The two briefly turned off their mics as the instrumental part of the song came, laughing with eachother. Dave let out a sigh of relief, finally getting a break. He was stressed, he didn't sign up for this! He didn't ask to just be dragged up here! He groaned to himself as the duo turned their mics back on.

"The gambling begins," Quinn took the lead again, Jack echoing his words immediately after. "The wheel starts to spin," the two gestured to the various games in the casino. "A house full of sins," the blond of the duo held his index fingers above his head to symbolize horns. "But the house always wins!" He then took off his crown to show it off to the audience, Dave realizing it was plastic and mentally facepalming.

"Deal into the game, and you can score on anything!" Jack and Quinn were singing at the same time again, the latter of the two being the one to drag Dave back into the chaos that was the sibling-like duo. "It's your fate to choose, go ahead and lose your inhibitions!" As Quinn let go of the aubergine's hands, Jack took one of them (albeit more gentle than Quinn had) and pulled him closer. "If you wanna play with power, then you're gambling with the king!" the blond came up behind Jack and placed the crown on his head. "So bet on the crown, casino royale, chase your ambitions!" Jack had stopped singing by this point, turning his mic off.

"You alright?" The tangerine asked softly as Quinn continued on his own. Dave shook his head slightly. Jack sighed, leading the other off the stage and back to their table.

"Casino royale! Casino royale!" Quinn finished up, taking a bow as the crowd cheered. He was tossed a few water bottles as he jogged off the stage, coming over to the crayon duo and passing one each of them. Jack gave the blond a quiet 'thanks', Dave giving a nod before placing his head on the table.

"What's wrong, hun?" Quinn asked, taking on a more parent-like tone as he took a seat. Dave just groaned in response. Jack took a seat on the other side of the aubergine and hesitantly rubbed circles on his back.

After a couple minutes of silence between the three, Dave slowly lifted his head and leaned against Jack. "I feel like I'm gonna puke," he muttered. Quinn sighed, "I'm really sorry, man. I shoulda asked you if you were okay with goin' up there. Do you want me to get you anything?"

The aubergine shook his head and leaned more into the tangerine, the latter adjusting himself for them both to be comfortable. Quinn nodded before standing up.

"I'll leave you two be, you're more than welcome to stay in one of the rooms for the night. Jack, text me if you guys need anything," the blond gave them a small smile and a wave before walking off to someplace else.

Tomorrow is another day, he supposed.
