4 - Phil's Away (What Could Go Wrong?)

Blend W. I know, it's a weird remix, but it's still a bop. It so happens to be Phil's ringtone.

Whilst Phil and the arguing boys were trying to solve their conflict inside the large studio, Phil's phone rang.

"Boys, I need you to behave. I'm going to need to answer this phone call. I'll be back in a bit.", Phil said, standing up from one of the dinner table's chairs and walking into a more quiet room. The studio was pretty big. There was a dining area with a kitchen in it, along with a small bathroom. And there was the actual dance studio, with all the mirrors and open space.

As Phil left, the two arguing boys glared at each other. It seemed like they were having a competition about who can glare for the longest, because this went on for a really long time. Well, until Tommy mumbled something under his breath.

"You know, Techno's more of a bitch boy than the last time I saw him, four years ago..."

The other two stopped their glare contest and looked at Tommy with shocked faces. Suddenly, Wilbur burst into loud laughter. He laughed so hard that he fell off his chair and started crying.

Meanwhile, Techno just looked at Tommy with a small scowl. He couldn't hold it for long and started laughing as well. It wasn't as much as Wilbur's laughter, though. Eventually, all three of them were laughing.

Phil got back after his phone call. But before he opened the door of the room where the boys were at, he heard laughter. He smiled as walked in.

"What happened here?", Phil asked with a small smile, since the laughter seemed to be contagious.

"He- he- HAHAHAHAHA- TOMMY CALLED TECHNO A BITCH BOY- I-", Wilbur started wheezing. Tommy and Techno had already stopped laughing by then. 'Jeez, this man laughs a lot', thought Tommy, slightly chuckling. Then, he made another remark.

"To be honest, Wilbur, you're kind of one too."

Wilbur stopped laughing. This time, it was Techno's turn to start dying of laughter. He also fell off his chair and cried of laughter. Tommy didn't understand what was going on very well, but he found it a bit funny.

Later on, the laughter died down. It was much quieter now.

"Well, since you all are finally done with the laughing, I guess it's time for me to talk. I brought Tommy here so that he could practice a dance routine with my help, but my wife called, saying she needed some help at home. So, I'm leaving Techno in charge of Tommy for tonight."

Techno seemed to accept it and didn't seem to be bothered. Meanwhile, Wilbur looked like he was plotting for something stupid. Tommy looked at him weirdly, but chose to ignore it.

When Phil left, Techno put on his dancing shoes and brought Tommy to the actual dance studio in the building. They did some stretching, then Tommy had to face a bit of embarrassment.

"So, what's the routine?", Techno asked bluntly, as he was tying his shoes.

"Um, it's your debut dance routine...", Tommy answered timidly, embarrassed.

Techno smiled at this, then told Tommy that they were starting. Soon, they were practicing the chorus.

"When you showed me a run through of the dance a while ago, you seemed a bit stiff on this part. Try relaxing your body this time, when you bounce.", Techno suggested to Tommy.

Tommy did as he was suggested, and Techno checked if it looked better. It did. He nodded in approval.

"Look at the mirror and do the move again."

Tommy did as told.

"See how it looks more natural? As well as how it feels."

Tommy looked at Techno and nodded in agreement. Suddenly, he heard a sudden bang. What kind of noise was that? It seemed to have a tune to it. Tommy recognized the sound, but he couldn't fully describe it.
