A/N: Inspired by these two LiveJournal icons by putzich:
The following story is a mere work of F I C T I O N, meaning it is 100% made up. None of the situations described here ever happened, and even if they did, I have no way of knowing. This is not about spreading rumours or, worse, libel. The people portrayed in this story are real, but I am NOT claiming they did what I wrote. I use their "public personas" and build stories around them as if they were fictional characters.
The small club was packed. Farin peeked from behind the curtain and turned to Bela with a worried expression.
"I can't do this."
"Yes, you can," Bela said checking himself in the mirror once again. He tilted his cowboy hat up and blew a kiss to his reflection.
"I look ridiculous!"
"Don't worry, you'll be out of those clothes very soon."
"Argh!" He removed the cook hat he was wearing and threw it on the ground.
A country tune filled the air and Bela swirled around.
"Show time!"
He tipped his hat over his eyes and walked on stage. Farin couldn't believe how confident his friend was stripping in a club full of screaming fangirls. And a few boys as well. He had to admit Bela's performance was quite captivating though, especially his hip movements. And "Save a horse, ride a cowboy" was a damn appropriate song.
The audience got louder at every piece of clothing the drummer removed. By the time the song was over, Bela was wearing only a skimpy G-string and the place had gone wild.
Bela took a bow and left the stage. Farin gulped. Now it was his turn. 'Well,' he thought, 'if Bela did it, I can do it too.' He put on his cook hat and strode on stage.
He greeted the audience with his usual grin and started shaking his hips in time with the beat, while everyone sang "Give it to me baby... A-HA A-HA" at the top of their lungs.
Just before the end of the song Bela got back on stage and started dancing with him, or better, rubbing against him in a way that could only be described as obscene, and the whole club went mad.
When the show was over the stage was covered with flowers, bras and all kinds of lacy underwear. Bela and Farin walked backstage and went into the dressing room.
"That was fun, wasn't it?" Bela said sprawling on the couch.
Farin snorted. "Remind me never to make a bet with Rod ever again."
The door opened and a grinning Rod walked in. "Hey, guys! You wouldn't believe how great the video of your little show turned out!"
Bela burst out laughing while Farin banged his head against the wall.
