The last few months have been an absolute roller coaster of emotions for Ann Takamaki, the attempt of suicide of her best friend Shiho, the discovery of kamoshida`s palace, awakening to her persona, the nerves of waiting for a change of heart, in the risk of posing nude for Yusuke Kitagawa and not to mention the tests, the rumors and all the drama.
To say Ann was on edge was being to modest, however not all was gloom and doom.
Around the same time kamoshida confessed his crimes, the “delinquent transfer student” ren amamiya, one of her teammates of the recently made “phantom thieves” offered to go out with her to cheer her up after all that happened.
However, what began as small trips to the dinner as teammates suddenly became much more that she could guest, Ann took notice on how ren was always there to help her become stronger and clear her head to be a proper model. All of that culminated on the day Shiho had to leave to transfer schools, where after feeling that she will be alone once again, she felt the embrace of ren and after that the words she would never forget...
“You have me”
Ann takamaki and Ren amamiya are more than just friends now…

-July-
Things were going really well for the phantom thieves, changed 3 hearts successfully, their popularity was rising and they even had the artist Yusuke Kitagawa and student council president Makoto Nijima on their side, all the while the continue to solve request in mementos.
Today was one of the days they had plenty of request in mementos, so every was gathering at Ren`s room it was business as usual. However, Ann had other plans…
She arrives at Ren`s place a whole 2 hours before the meeting.
Ann: Hello my love!
Ren: Ann? This early? The meeting is in 2 hours.
Ann: ohh I know, but can`t I spend quality time with you before we go to work? “puppy eyes”
Ren: “smirk” of course you can dear, aldo I’m not doing much, just watching this tv show.
Ann: well, that’s settles it.
“Ann then takes her place next to Ren in the sofa, getting comfortable next to her dear boyfriend”
“While watching tv, they saw a scene of a ballroom, with a lot of fancy dressed high class people dancing at the pace of romantic piano music, Ann couldn’t help but blush imagining Ren and herself dancing like that in a school prom or something”
Ren: you know I’m actually really good at dancing.
Ann: ohh? Trying to impress me Ren?
Ren: well not really, but I use to dance a lot, it was one of my hobbies back home, to just turn on any music I had and dance to it.
Ann: how nice of you to say, but I know how to dance well myself, want to try it now?
Ren: it would not be a good idea, Sojiro will yell at me for making noise at peak café time.
Ann: ohhh yeah, your probably right, but we could try another time and add our totch to it.
“Ren was intrigued by her suggestion”
Ren: our touch?
Ann: yeah! We are phantom thieves, I bet we could add so much style to a dance off.
Ren: well with all of our experience we could do something cool assuming nether of us are lying about being good at dancing.
Ann: jeje, well you have something in mind?
Ren: well…
“Both Ren and Ann began to talk about stylish dance moves combined with their skill at combat they gather in the metaverse, each idea making the dance more and more ridiculous and mind-blowing.”
“After about 20 minutes of brainstorming, they ended up both laughing at the exotic and absurd dance finisher they came up with”
Ann: OMG! That would be so ridiculous
Ren: but admit it would be so cool if we manage to pull it off in our battles!
Ann: yeah it would, but c’mon it would be impos..
“Suddenly Ann’s train of thought stopped due to the magical light coming form Ren`s pocket”
Ren: ohh?!
Ann: Jose`s star.
Ren: I think it`s trying to tell us something Ann, maybe it is possible.
Ann: you mean, we could do it? Like the combo attack me and mona do?
Ren: we won’t know it intill we try it, what do you say?
Ann: I say we are both crazy for trying this
Ren: so, we are not doing it?
Ann: what? Of course we are, I wouldn`t want it any other way Ren, I trust you “Ann proceeds to kiss Ren on the cheek”
“Ren blushed a bit at Ann`s kiss, happy with their situation, they use the remaining time before doing mementos request chilling in the room, enjoying the company of the other”
-Joker and Panther showtime attack has been unlocked-
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hours later, the full group of phantom thieves’ venture into mementos, killing shadows, looting treasures and reforming society one heart at the time.
Skull: Man! This is going by fast; we are cleaning house here.
Fox: Our abilities are indeed growing at a fast pace, I’m satisfied.
Queen: then again, most of shadow`s were weak, no big deal...
Panther: it’s better for us, I can stop by the crepe shop on the way home!
Joker: not a bad idea, ok then let’s call it a day.
“The band of thieves was on its way to the exit, another day of work done. Or so it seemed…
Skull: hey man I was thinking we should go to protein lovers more often; we need to beef up.
-joker turns to skull-
Joker: I think I’m fine just the way I look skull.
Skull: c’mon man, what are bro`s for if we don`t work out together, that`s mess up.
Joker: what? You were just fine before I joined you on your routines, what dif.
Mona: JOKER LOOK OUT!
Joker: wh…
-a surprise shadow ambush flipped the mona car upside down, the exit just in reach, they were now surrounded in all directions, in a huge disadvantage-
Panther: hey! Did doesn’t look good…
Fox: focus up people, here they come.
-the thieves got caught off guard, they received hit after hit, but joker got it the worst, eating a critical strike and mabufu, yet he still stood-
Joker: AHHH!!!
Panther; joker! Hang on…
Skull: dammit we are not falling to this dammit.
Joker: “cough” damn right we won’t….
“In this moment joker realize it might be time to pull out the trump card”
Joker: PANTHER! Its time, let’s do it!
Panther: what?! Right now?! But we haven’t practice it!
Joker: we can do it, I believe!
Panther: Ok ok, “deep breath” let’s do this joker!
Both: IT`S SHOWTIME!
‘The screen fades, its just a black background with joker and panther standing there, a stage light shines on them, after a bit, joker offers his hand to panther in a gentlemanly way”
Joker: care to dance my lady?
Panther: my... what a gentleman.
As soon as panther grabbed joker`s hand, the rest of the lights turned on, revealing they were in a ballroom, and they were surrounded by shadows, after that, there expressions turned from gentle faces to evil smirks.
They both pulled out their guns and began to dance, graceful move after graceful move they would pause to pose and stretch the arms to aim and shoot at the shadows surrounding them, following the steps they saw in the movie before coming to mementos, every shadow was filled with bullet holes from the dancing couple, but they were not done.
Joker: now, for the grand finale!
Joker threw panther into the air with a spin, she then stopped her spinning to aim her machine gun to the chain holding the big chandelier of the ballroom in place, which just so happened to be above the shadow they were shooting.
Panther: hope you enjoyed the show!
Panther then shot the chain, dropping the chandelier on the shadows, Joker meanwhile ran to catch Panther, at a safe distance from the impact.
The chandelier crushed all the shadows and at the same time Joker cached panther, the spined a bit, before striking one final pose
Joker: Together...
Panther: we are unstoppable!
“And just like that, the ambush was taking care off”
Skull: HOLY SHIET! When did you guys learn to do that?!
Yusuke: the poses, the technique, it was a work of beauty
Queen: Certainty well performed guys
Mona: w-where?… how? You 2 did this before right? You danced together before?!
Both joker and panther were a bit embarrassed by doing that dance in front of their teammates
Panther: well, we… sorta came with the idea one day, we both enjoyed dancing.
Joker: we figure out that since we move much better in the metaverse, a super attack like that would be useful
Queen: It makes since, I guest…
Skull: man, I have to come out with a super attack too, whatya say fox?
Fox:..
“With that, the phantom thieves leaved mementos satisfied, with job done and a new technique to help them on their quest.”
After a while, the group disbanded to return home, all exhausted from the combat. Except for Ann.
Ann: wow, that was amazing, I can believe we pulled it off first try!
Ren: told you we could, together I feel like I can do anything.
Ann: ohhh Ren, I feel the same way “smile”
“The couple kissed”
And with that, the day was successful, and Ann couldn’t feel happier, Aldo more battles await them she can hold her head high, exited to keep seeing her boyfriend and keep perfecting that dance.
This showtime attack truly was a spectacle to behold.
