《Music System》Chapter 23
Advertisement
Saturn woke up one day and decided he wanted to do something special for his WeStream channel. Honestly he had been uploading pretty average music to his channel, not to say the music was bad, it was just easy stuff. He also hadn't been uploading his workout videos. He decided that to make up for his lack luster.
So the first thing he did was to start practicing since he had a specific dance. All in all it took Saturn a week and a half to practice, and the only reason it was that quick was because he had plenty of martial arts training. Rythm, timing, and pure body control.
For the next steps in his preperation was to rent a recording studio that had a green screen on the floor and the wall. He also had to rent a specific out fit. The shirt was a shiny long sleeve with poofy sleeves, it didn't have any buttons and came with a fancy collar that while long wouldn't stuck up. For his pants they were a dark blue, almost black that would be tight around the thighs and waist, but loose around the ankles. They were also long and would need Saturn to up above his waist so the wouldn't drag. To complete his outfit was a pair of black boots with sharp toes, and high heels.
Many would recognize the outfit as something commonly worn during the 70's. It was also the same out fit that John Travolta wore in the dance scene of Saturn Day night fever.
( To see the specific scene go to the music playlist. https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL7_acUgMyEtVGHfIU5vKCH2dGXYFm-tIh )
After all of his preparations Saturn was finally ready. He had hidden everything from his friends and family just to surprise them. He even rented a recording booth from a different store than Luther's.
He then woke up an hour earlier than usual just so his mom didn't catch him leaving in his outfit.
Once Naruto got to the plaza where the recording studio he had rented was at he pulled over and had to walk there. The entire way there he got funny stares from people walking by. A few girls even checked him out because his shirt was unbuttoned at the top. And his pants made his butt look great. He also looked taller than usual thanks to his boots.
When he reached the studio the receptionist gave him a quick once over, but her professional attitude quickly returned.
" How may I help you today sir? "
" I have an appointment today with Ms. Anton. Should be in ten minutes or so. "
The receptionist looked on her computer for a few seconds before looking at Saturn with a professional smile.
" Are you Mr. Emerson. "
" That's me, but please just call me Saturn. "
" Sure. Then please feel free to sit in our waiting area. Ms. Anton should be free in a few minutes. "
Saturn waited for exactly ten minutes and twenty-three seconds while reading webnovels. He found that out thanks to maths. While he was mentally congratulating himself over his quick maths a middle aged woman walked up to him.
She looked to be in her late forties maybe fifties if she held her age really well. She was short and a bit on the thicker side, she had occasional gray hairs that were siblinged with mostly light brown hair. Matching her hair was light brown eyes, that was on her pale face. Her skin was while pale not quite sickly looking. All of that on top of her pretty face and banging body. Of course those sorts of thoughts left his head as fast as they had come, since he was a loyal boyfriend. All boyfriends occasionally checked out other women after all.

" Hello Mr. Emerson I am Jessica Anton, are you here for your appointment. "
" Yes indeed. "
" Then follow me please. "
Jessica then lead Saturn into the back to a room that had half of it covered completely in green screens. The other half was fancy equipment including big ass cameras on stands and microphones.
" Alright so we are ready to record when you are. "
Saturn just smiled and nodded and walked to the center of the floor. After he got the nod to start from Jessica Saturn quickly started busting some moves. The scene that Saturn decided to copy was 2 minutes and ten seconds long while the song it's self was 4 minutes and 46 seconds long. So for 2 or so minutes Naruto had to basically free style. He kept it true to 70's style so he felt it was alright.
" Wow, that was amazing! "
" Thanks I've been practicing it all for quite awhile. "
Jessica assumed he had meant months, but she didn't know that he meant only a week or so.
" May I ask what it's for? "
" I'm a musician on WeStream and usually I just add a stock photo or something. Recently however I feel that I haven't been putting in enough work, so I'm making a dance video. "
" Hm, that's interesting, tell me the name of your Channel and I'll check it out. "
Despite how sarcastic she sounded Saturn still decided to write down the name of his channel for her on a piece of paper. Jessica seemed pretty smug when she put it in the chest pocket of her shirt.
" I look forward to checking it out, now do you have any ideas on what you want as your edit? "
Saturn handed her a drawn picture of the dance floor for her to edit, the only big difference was instead of an audience was it was just completely black around the dance floor.
" This should be pretty easy. I'll have it to you within the week. "
" Awesome I can't wait. "
After a few more minutes of just banter and sorting stuff out Saturn finally left the shop flashing the secretary a smile while he left. When he left Ms. Anton wistfully said to the secretary.
" Goofy outfit, but so fucking sexy. "
" Hell yeah he is. Did you see his bulge? "
( I don't know if women actually check out the bulge on men, I just assume they do. )
Saturn would have been so surprised to have heard the seemingly ladylike and refined girls cursing. Especially calling him sexy.
" You'll have to see this dance he did, oh and he mentioned something about being a musician so we should check that out together. "
" For sure. "
It seemed both of the lady's had way to much time on their hand's.
None of that was Saturn's concern however, instead he was already on his way home to change into a more proper outfit. He was also thinking of what he wanted to eat for lunch.
It was with such thoughts that the young man's mouth watered all the way to his house.
When he arrived home Saturn instantly walked to his room, not even checking if his mom was home since he knew she'd be at work. Once in his room Saturn had trouble pulling his pants off because they were so tight. Once he took them off along with his shoes he put on some basketball shorts. In all honesty Saturn didn't want to take off his shirt simple because it was so comfortable. But in the end he didn't want to look silly wearing regular running shoes, basket ball shorts, and then a 70's dance shirt. In the end he put on a plain t-shirt.

Once he got dressed Saturn decided he'd take it easy for the rest day. So he grabbed his laptop and then got set up in the relaxation room. He then read webnovels until he got hungry around twelve p.m. For lunch he ordered a pizza. On the pizza was pepperoni, chicken, banana pepper, onion, and spinach, he also had a thin and crispy crust.
For just about all day, until his mom came home, Saturn read web novels. Once his mom got home Saturn started watching movies with her while she described her work day. It didn't how many times she described basically the same day over and over Saturn always enjoyed listening to his mom. Perhaps it was from years of not being able to do it, or maybe Saturn was always a mommy's boy, most likely both. No matter what though, he enjoyed it.
After she described her day Saturn and Amelia went out for dinner. Saturn originally planned to cook, but neither of them had done any grocery shopping recently. They had some food, but anything worth cooking had been frozen. So they decided to go out to somewhere cheap, so Saturn decided on a diner that was on the route that he usually ran. The diner was on the outskirts of the city and it's customers were usually people passing through the city. According to the owner of the diner she rarely gets people from the city in her diner.
Saturn really loved the place because the owner used decent ingredients for her food. All beef hot dogs, stuff like that.
( I was going to name off more stuff of that general idea, but I'm a cheap bastard so I don't know what's considered expensive or not. So instead of removing the piece or something clean and easy like that I decided to add in the completely necessary author's note to ruin the flow of the story. I am also doing really long run on sentences so enjoy that. )
Saturn also really liked her spaghetti. An odd thing to like from a diner, but Saturn swears to God, that if she isn't Italian than she has a recipe worthy of the country. Maybe, that or she's just a plain good cook. Despite all of that though Saturn ordered a burger while Amelia got the spaghetti.
After that they went home watched a couple more movies and then both went to bed and went to sleep.
A week later Saturn was grinning from ear to ear just thinking of the faces his friends are going to make. He could barely wait for them to get to Amelia's house. He had invited them all over for a nice dinner and to show them an " awesome video " as he called it.
The first to show up was, you guessed it, Amelia. Saturn hadn't sent her away just long enough to cook dinner or anything. Only a few minutes after Amelia got to her house Luther showed up. And around twenty minutes after that old man showed up Samantha showed up with Dante.
" Alright Saturn why did you call of us here . . . Don't tell me your gay. Damn it I fucking knew it, your just to fucking great to be straight? "
Everybody else just stared at Samantha like she was bat shit crazy, which if you asked Saturn he would of definitely agreed.
" Chill Sam, I just wanted to show you guys a video I made. "
" . . . Oh. Then let's see it. "
" Better be good I was having a really good nap. "
" Fucking same. "
" Watch your language, I've never even heard you guys curse before today. "
They all bantered back and forth while eating dinner, Saturn probably hadn't laughed so much since he got out of prison. Same for Amelia since she had been depressed the entire time her son was in prison.
Eventually Saturn loaded up the video on Amelia's television. Amelia, Samantha, Luther, and Dante all watched with interest while Saturn held a shit eating grin.
Eventually the video started playing and the others became slack jawed seeing the usually stoic and strict Saturn with an arrogant smirk on his face. Everything about the video for even the first few seconds went against just about everything they knew about Saturn. He didn't dance, he rarely smirked arrogantly despite talking arrogantly occasionally, and he rarely wore anything other than short and a t-shirt. When he finally started to actually dance Samantha had hearts in her eyes, while she had never seen such a side to Saturn she absolutely loved it.
While the others didn't have the same reaction as Samantha their's were just as strong. Amelia burst out laughing along with Dante while Luther was totally jealous. You see what nobody knew was that Luther used to have the same body style as Saturn and he even looked quite similar. So he used to be pretty popular back in the day with ladies. He was jealous because if he had known of such dancing back then then he would have been swimming in the strange. ( Strange is pussy basically. )
When the video finally ended all four looked at Saturn. Sam looked like she was about to rape Saturn, Amelia could barely hold back her amusement, Dante simply sent a questioning look, while Luther sent a half questioning half jealous look.
" I'll be the first to say it. WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT‽ "
" That my dear Samantha, was disco dancing. "
" Alright, but why? "
" Well, I felt I had gotten side tracked and lazy recently, so I decided I would go above and beyond. Plus I wanted to show off for the ladies. "
" Well you did a damn good job of that. "
The look Samantha was giving Saturn was so violating that he was scared to go home with her that night.
" Man I wish I was just twenty years younger then we definitely could of gone clubbing together. If I was single . . . And so were you. "
" I don't know, but since nobody has mentioned it yet I'd like to say I really like the song. "
" Thank you Dante, at least somebody appreciates my efforts. "
" You did a really good job son I'm proud of you. "
" Thanks mom. "
The five sat around eating and having a simply good time. About an hour after the video finished uploading Naruto suddenly got bombed with notifications from the musician message group. Eventually he hopped on chat.
Saturn: What's up everybody.
HotEmoChick: You finally showed your sexy ass on chat. Bruh I showed my girlfriend you new video and she turned straight!
DiggsBiggs: Aww, poor girl, come to uncle biggs and I'll comfort you from this tragic romance.
HotEmoChick: Ew!
JessicaForest: Ew!
Poor DiggsBiggs didn't know what to do from being shutdown instantly. So he tried changing the subject.
DiggsBiggs: So what prompted the video Saturn?
Saturn explained why he decided to do the fancy video and all of that.
NorseGod: So where did you get the pants? My girlfriend saw the video and she really wants me to get a pair.
Saturn: I had to get them made personally even went to get measured and everything. You could probably order some online or go to a store near you. And I feel ya bro, my girlfriend is sending me looks that make me feel for my life.
DiggsBiggs: Am I the only guy without a voracious girlfriend.
Saturn: Be happy man, do you understand how hard it is having to do it multiple times a night, night after night after night? It's exhausting.
NorseGod: I feel ya man, getting only a few hours of sleep of night, it's gets in the way of work sometimes.
DiggsBiggs: 😭
Even though Saturn and NorseGod were joking there was a bit of truthfullness.
HotEmoChick: Damn, even I'm jealous.
Saturn talked with the people in the chat group for about an hour before he finally left saying he was tired. At least that's what he said, in reality Samantha's stares were making him extremely uncomfortable.
And so with a sigh our hero carried off the evil demon queen in a princess carry to the bedroom for another night of " intense battle ".
