Chapter 68: Night Out
The sixteen year old walked into the kitchen where everyone was including Ahsoka and Rex, and grabbed a yogan from the bowl on the table. He looked up and said gaining everyone's attention, "Hey Hera I'm going out tonight. I'll be back before 10:00."
They quickly noticed his outfit which was a unbuttoned paid shirt with a white tank top showing and jeans with brown boots showing. They also noticed a tan cowboy hat perched open his head, creating a shadow over his face, making his eyes glow.
And he started walking out again but before he could make it out the door, it shut in his face. He sighed and turned around with crossed arms to who he knew closed it,
"Yes Kanan?"
Kanan looked at him skeptically, "Where are you going? And since when do you have a cowboy hat?" Ezra shrugged with a smirk, "To the bar. Their holding a celebration for their 5th year open. And apparently it's dancing night so I was going with my buddy and Kanan I'm surprised you don't have one, Cowboy" They looked towards each other in confusion ignoring his remark, "And why would you want to go to that?" Rex asked curiously. Ezra rolled his eyes, "Because I like dancing." They all looked at him in shock. "Wait? You like dancing?" Zeb said surprised. "I never took you as the country type, Kid." Ezra nodded and bit into his yogan. After he swallowed, he said, "I've always been country, just don't like showing. Now I'm leaving, I'm guessing everyone's going?"
Everyone suddenly stood up, thinking the same thing. "Well let's go." Sabine said. Ezra hesitated before walking out of the now open door with everyone in tow.
"So how did you get into dancing, Ez?" Hera asked. Ezra was startled but the question but replied timidly, "Um... my dad taught me to dance." He looked down at the core of his yogan and called out through the force a lothcat. He stopped when he heard a rustling and bent down on one knee. The brown cat came out of the tall grass and Ezra held out the core to the cat which took it hungrily. He stood back up holding his hat on his head and looked up at the sky, "We better get moving. It's almost time for the opening." They looked at him weirdly and started walking behind him.
"Um how do you even know what time it is? You don't have a watch." Rex said. Ezra pointed up to the sky, "You can always tell the time with the sky and right now it's about 7:45."
Halfway there, they saw another guy walking towards them in the same get up as Ezra but he was also carrying buckets. They smirked at each other and Ezra said as they started walking again, "Y'all this is Red." Everyone nodded while he tipped his hat, "Howdy" They all held in a chuckle at his accent. He looked to Ezra and said, "Why are they chucklin'?" The blue haired kid shook his head, "Their makin' fun of our accent." Ezra finally let out his originally tone.
They quickly saw the bar and Ezra smiled when he saw the lights. They were ushered inside by Ezra and Red and they disappeared before they could ask what to do. They looked at each other and picked out an empty table in the corner away from the dance floor filled with people that were dressed like Ezra and Red.
A minute later, a blue haired teen came out onto the stage making the large crowd cheer. He smiled at the gesture and grabbed the microphone from the stand, "Hello everyone." The crowd cheered again, "I just wanted to say thanks for coming out and I hope everyone has a good time tonight. I also can't wait to see everyone dancing. I know y'all can't either." He smiled as another cheer ran out, "Ok ok, I just have one surprise. Hit it Red!" He pointed to the corner to show the red headed teen pouring in confetti into a machine and turned it on, making it go everywhere. Everyone cheered as Ezra got down from the stage.
He quickly ran over to The crews table and sat down. But before they could ask questions, a waitress came by and asked for orders. But once again, they were interrupted but by Ezra, "One round of butter beer, please." She nodded and walked off.
"Ok before were interrupted again, How come we never you could dance? And don't use the 'it didn't come up' excuse" Kanan said quickly. He shrugged nonchalantly and said gently, "This is the past. I don't want to live in the past so I didn't speak of it." They shared glances to each other and Ahsoka asked curiously, "Then why are you here tonight? If this is the past, why are you reliving it if you don't want to?" Ezra looked down and smiled, "I came tonight for the good memories. Like all the little kids runnin' around if you haven't noticed them by now." All eyebrows furrowed, "Kids?" They said in unison. Ezra nodded and turned around in his chair, "Here comes one now." He grabbed a little boy that looked about 4 years old with blonde hair and light blue eyes and placed him in his lap. The kid looked behind him to see who picked him up but immediately brightened up as he saw the teen, "Ezzy! Ezzy!" Ezra chuckled and mimicked him, "Germs! Germs!" The boy pouted as he crossed his arms, "That's not my name!" Ezra chuckled behind him, "And Ezzy isn't mine but anyway, guys this is Luke AKA Germs." They all waved at him but their attention was drawn to the waitress coming behind them with the clear,tall drinks. She quickly placed the drinks all the table and left, having more orders to do. Ezra quickly grabbed the tray and started sliding drinks around the table leaving one for himself.
They all looked at the yellow foamy drinks with skeptically looks. They glanced at Ezra who was in a heated discussion with Luke. They were interrupted though by Zeb saying, "What is this?" The two kids looked up at the same time with their eyes growing wide, "You don't know what butter beer is?" They said together. Glancing at each other from the corners of their eyes, they said, "Its a drink that has no alcohol and tastes like butter which I can chug faster." Everyone looked amused to them, "No, I chug faster!" They groaned at the same time and Zeb ignored them, taking a sip of the drink. Instantly, his face puckered. "Ew, that's gross." Ezra smirked and held his hand out which Zeb got the message for. He slid the drink which Ezra caught easily. He gave it to Luke who was smirking. Ezra quickly said the rules, "No pouring on floor, no backing out, no giving it to someone else, and you have to have it on the table to start. Luke nodded and grabbed the handle on his mug, "Ok someone do the count down." Zeb quickly said "Three, two, one. Go!" The two kids started chugging their drinks like lightning, the others staring in awe.
After a few seconds of them swallowing at inhuman speeds, Ezra slammed his cup down first. He cheered as he won and Luke sat his empty cup next to Ezra's. He pouted and Ezra suddenly said, "Ok Luke, you know the rules. Upstairs." Luke nodded obediently but suddenly a song came on that had them pausing in their movements, making the others look. They both ran out of the chair to the dance floor.
They all followed except Zeb who was saving the table so no one took it. They found the kids on the edge of the half full dance floor. Ezra stopped and said over the music, "Join in!" They decided not to and just watched from a distance Ezra dancing his heart out with a girl he apparently knew.
Ezra is the red suit one and Red is the blue suit ones .
After the song, he went back to the table out of breath. He smiled as everyone got back in their seats, still in shock about the dancing that just happened. He smirked as he saw Red coming his way to sit in the chair next to him. As Red was bending to sit down, Ezra slid the chair away with the force making him fall on his floor. Ezra looked down in smugness, "Never gets old." Red grumbled as he got up from the floor and he pulled off his hat, letting everyone see him properly. He had the reddest hair with green eyes with a 5 o'clock show. The teen grabbed Ezra's cowboy hat and gave him a noogie. Ezra sighed and grabbed his hat putting it back on his head. Red sat down with a grin at his revenge and said, "So how y'all been enjoyin' the party?" They smiled at his kindness and Hera said, "It's been great. Especially the dancing." The kids chuckled and nodded.
Ezra suddenly stood up and grabbed a butter beer from the waitress's tray and sat back down. Red stared at him blankly, "Of course you still like butter beer. Because only dorks drink that foamy shit." Ezra shook his head, raising the glass to his mouth but not before saying, "You dick." Red smirked, "You prick." Ezra looked at him, "Same thing." They said in unison.
After a minute of silence, they burst out laughing. Once they calmed down, they stood up and Ezra quickly chugged his beer, "We're goin' back out. We'll see y'all later."
Ezra and Red entered the dance floor just as a slow song came on. They smirked to each other and split ways. Ezra got to the girl he was dancing with earlier and held out his hand to the girl in the pink dress, "Can I have this dance, m'lady?" She smiled and grabbed his hat before walking out to the floor. He shook his head and followed her but not before seeing Red with the girl he was looking at all night.
They stood out on the dance floor, the girl with her arms wrapped around his neck and his arms around and her thin waist. They smiled at each other and swayed to the music.
Red saw Ezra and Mary on the dance floor and decided to leave the floor after his partner had to go back to her family.
He sat back down in his chair at the table with Ezra's crew and drank a cup a water but after a while he noticed everyone's attention on him. "What?" He questioned. "Who's that dancing with Ezra?" Kanan asked as he watched the couple away on the floor. "Oh that's Mary." "What's with them?" Rex voiced. Red smirked as he took another sip, "They both like each other but won't say anything but I think Ezra is going to make a move tonight. At least I hope." They nodded and turned to look at the couple again.
As the song ended, Ezra dipped Mary and pulled her back up with a smile. He kissed her hand and said, "Thank you for the dance, m'lady." She smiled back and went on her tip toes and picked him on the cheek as she placed his hat back on his head. She walked away before he could say anything and he trudged to the table with a light blush across his cheeks.
Everyone smirked as he sat down as they saw the whole thing. Ezra looked at all of them and said suddenly, "Ok y'all it's almost 10:00. Let's get back to the Ghost." They all nodded in agreement and Red said while staying in his metal chair, "I'm staying for a little longer. I'll see you later, Ez"
Ezra tipped his hat in goodbye and they all walked out in silence.
They all arrived back on the Ghost and Ezra said as he walked away to his shared cabin, "Night, everyone." "Night!" Everyone said back.
As everyone sat down in the kitchen, they all stared at each other on comfortable silence but Zeb had to say, "Who knew the Kit could actually dance without falling on his face?"
