(Final Part)
20 minutes later - After several turns, banter and "TOTAL ANNIHILATIONS", Arche and Phi made it to the end of their sets. Arche even had a Fever Round, himself. His theme was "mischievous"; of which, he did fairly well in that category. Their total scores were hidden from them, and wouldn't be revealed until the very end.Now for the Final Round, the voice announced,
This will have you working with your opponent to garner as many points as possible. Like the Fever Round, we will task you to pose, only this time, you may choose whatever theme you want. Be creative. Good luck.Arche sighed, "More posing? Well, I suppose that voice did say this would be the final round, from early on..."
Phi rummaged a hand through her hair, pondering about what they could do. Eventually, her eyes widened, then she groaned, "I... think I know what we should do. Hey, Arche, remember that stupid dance routine that Dumb and Dumber performed, when we first met them here?"
"Huh? Yeah, unfortunately. Why do you..." Arche searched her face, and soon after, his own face grew in horror, "No... Phi, you can't seriously be suggesting-"
"We have no choice. It's now or never. We need to complete this final round using their pose," Phi got in her place, about to perform Jack and Liz's routine.
"Oh God... we're doing this... we're really doing this..." He said wearily, "Oddly enough, I think I remember all of their steps. The horrid thing seems to be permanently engrained into my memory..." He shuddered.
"Heh, well, you're not alone there," She also shared his pain.
"We're going to look totally lame," He exclaimed in agitation.
"The lamest," Phi giggled. She smiled and extended out her hand, "
Simul! Let's do this... together."
He briefly wondered why she decided to speak Latin at that moment. With a warm smile, he nodded, placing his hand into Phi's, "Yeah. Together."
Arche extended both his arms out, gesturing his hands as if he was gun-slinging. Phi twirled in place behind him, halted, and raised her arm into the air, pointing her finger upwards in a dramatic fashion.
She kicked her leg out and strutted her body forward, while Arche made a dumb bear pose looking thing, "RRWAARHH!"
She sighed, "Arche, you don't have to make sounds, just perform the poses..." She explained while continuing with her own choreography.
He pointed a finger forward, continuing his choreography, as well, "S-Sorry, I thought we were supposed to speak along with it... Hehehe..."
Phi extended her arm out. Arche extended out his own. Grabbing each other's arms, they spun around six times. One hand grabbed Phi's waist and the other was intertwined through her fingers; with graceful precision, he dipped her, thus ending the weird dance/pose/monstrosity!
*pant* *pant* *pant*Arche raised her back up, both of them exhausted from that strenuous routine. He plopped down on the floor, with Phi laying right beside him, "It's... finally over. Sweet mercy, remind me to
NEVER do that [parasitic bomb] again..."
"Ha... Ha..." Phi panted, laughing a little, "Absolutely agreed."
The Zero-Gravity Bowling Tournament has now come to its conclusion. Final Round points will be tallied and applied to both contestants. Processing the results...Arche and Phi both sat up, eagerly awaiting the results.
Results determined. The winner of this Tournament is...
...
...
Loser McLoserstein with 346 points! Phi with 342 points. Congratulations to the winner! Thank you for playing Zero-Gravity Bowling and please come back soon!Arche collapsed onto the floor, a mixture of exhaustion and excitement, "Ha... Haha... I did it! I won!"
Phi clapped her hands slowly, "Well, fair is fair. Congratulations, Arche. You deserve it," She smiled.
"Thank you," He scratched his head, "It was a damn close match, that's for sure. You were only 4 points away. But, you know... I think you're the real winner here."
"... Huh? What do you mean?" Phi raised an eyebrow.
He stood up from the floor, "You showed me a side of you that, frankly, I never really knew existed. Your vigor, determination and charisma... it's refreshing to see that. You've continued to surprise me, the more time I spend with you. There's just something about you, I guess..." He rotated his arm to remove a crick in his shoulder, "For that, you're the winner, in my eyes."
"Ah... I-I see..." Phi shifted a strand of hair behind her ear and glanced at the ground, her face slightly flushed, "Thank you... Archetype."
Arche motioned his hand to the door, "Besides, we could always have a rematch, whenever our time permits it. Haha, you're quite the formidable foe, it turns out!"
Phi smirked, the two floating to the exit, "Turns out? Please. You've always known how fearsome I can be. You better prepare yourself, next time, because I'll bring everything I have," She paused for a moment, "Oh, and... Let's not talk about this... to anyone. The dancing and that... s-sexy pose thing..." She spoke firmly.
Arche wondered if she knew that he saw her provocative display, "Yeah, don't worry about that. It'll be our secret."
Phi nodded and they exited the Bowling Alley.
