Randomness: Short Stories Of Sabriye And Friends

Dance Practices & Nostalgia

Sabriye was in the arena in TAPOPS Station practising the little choreography for Shine by Casey Lee Williams and Jeff Williams. She wanted to dance alongside Team JNPR during the dance that she knew was coming up in a while later and she wanted to prepare as she knew that perfecting any type of choreography would take a long time even if one is a skilled dancer, which she actually was.

Back home, not only did she do acting from time to time but she also had a YouTube channel with her best friends where she would post music videos, reaction videos, choreography videos, skits, etcetera. The clique Sabriye was in wasn't that popular though as they only posted it from time to time as well whenever they were in the mood. However, they still playfully do a few iconic Tik Tok trends without actually recording them whenever they hung out. You could say the clique bonded over music and were practically inseparable...

...Until the day Sabriye was sucked into a portal and was transported to Boboiboy's universe. However, right after celebrating Sabriye's recruitment, she made sure to schedule a meet-up with the clique in their secret place where no one else visited to explain her situation. To say the least, they were flabbergasted when they witnessed Sabriye's power. They were very understanding and promised to make sure they kept in touch, which they did while Sabriye wasn't too busy with work.

While they were not physically together, their bond, especially over music, never died. Sabriye was so used to dancing with them, that she felt rather weird practicing the choreography for Shine alone, especially since this was one of the songs that they casually practised together before. Instead of the joy and liveliness that always came with dance practice, Sabriye felt emptiness instead. However, she shoved it down in the deepest depths of her heart and carried on practising.

Once the song finished playing, Sabriye stopped, catching a breather. That was when Sabriye heard distant clapping. She flinched and turned towards the source with wide eyes — it was Gopal, standing at the entrance, clapping and looking Sabriye with awe in eyes. Sabriye's face was coloured with a bright red, embarrassed to have been caught by the dancer in Boboiboy's gang.

Approaching Sabriye slowly, Gopal exclaimed, "That was amazing, Sabriye! I didn't know you're such a good dancer!" Sabriye chuckled sheepishly and told him, "Hehe, thanks. It's just something that I used to do back home." Gopal nodded, understanding. "So, what're you doing here, Gopal?" Gopal shrugged and simply said, "Heard music. Came to check it out. What're you doing here?"

Sabriye sheepishly scratched her nape and explained, "There's this dance coming up soon and one of my friends in charge said she's gonna play this song, so I thought I could practice in case I'm rusty." Gopal nodded and placed a finger on his chin and looked up, as if he was thinking about something. Sabriye tilted her head to the side, bemused. Gopal's face suddenly lit up and asked with sparkling eyes, "Can I dance with you?" Sabriye's eyes widened and blinked in surprise.

It was then Gopal's turn to scratch his nape sheepishly, "Well you probably already know how much I love dancing and I couldn't find anyone else who could dance with me lately. I mean, it's always better to dance with someone." Sabriye could agree with him wholeheartedly on that last sentence. It was just earlier when she was craving for company. Sabriye softly smiled and replied, almost a whisper, "Of course."

For a second, Gopal's face lit up like the sun as he jumped on his toes with excitement very much evident in his reaction. However, it went as quickly as it came; his face turned sheepish. Gopal said, almost a murmur, "I don't know how to dance to this song though, so you have to teach me." Oh right, Shine is a song in Sabriye's universe, not Gopal's. However, that didn't bother the younger in the slightest. Sabriye nodded with an eager smile.

As expected of a fellow dancer, Gopal was a fast learner, getting the choreography down in just 15 minutes. The oldest-youngest duo danced the rest of the day away. Sabriye was glad to have found a new dance partner.
