Chapter 1
A New Dance To Learn
"Hear Me! Hear Me!" Rocky Blue called out as she stepped into the Chicago train station.
The crowd waiting turned to see the two 13 year old girls.
"I, Rocky Blue and my BFF, Cece Jones here are as entertainment!"
Cece dropped her bejeweled blue boombox and loaded a CD.
"Sure dancing on Shake It Up! Chicago is fun," Cece replied. "But we need to make a little extra."
Cece rubbed her two fingers and thumb together.
Rocky hit the play button on the boombox and a cool techno-pop dance song started to play.
Rocky and Cece danced around the boombox and a crowd started to gather.
During the middle of the song, Cece threw her plaid fedora hat to the crowd.
Some of the bystanders didn't look impressed; some tossed coins.
When the girls finished, there was some scattered applause.
"So," Rocky said hesitantly. "How much did we make? Remember! We split 50/50!"
"Well," Cece said counting the money. "Can you split $1.46?"
"What?" Rocky gasped grabbing the hat. "Are you kidding?"
Rocky placed the hat next to the boombox.
"What did we do wrong?" Cece said. "That was the new dance on Shake It Up! too."
Cece sat next to Rocky and the two looked depressed.
"What's with the long faces? You guys okay?"
Rocky and Cece turned to see a girl with straight black hair and yellow-tan skin.
Her clothing was as stylish as Cece's and Rocky's.
"We're fine," Cece said to the girl.
"Well it doesn't look like it," the girl replied. "You sure?"
Rocky and Cece nodded.
"Hey, do you mind?" the girls asked Cece and Rocky. She pointed to the boombox.
"Guess not," Rocky said.
The girl slammed the play button and a new techno-pop beat played.
The two girls watched as the stranger started to move to the music. Rocky and Cece were impressed.
A new crowd started to gather around the stranger as she did flips and turns.
The music stopped and the crowd cheered. Dollar bills were thrown into Cece's hat.
"That was off the hook!" Rocky squealed. "Where did you learn to move like that?"
"And how did you make $20.00 even?" Cece gasped.
"What?" Rocky grabbed the hat and counted the bills and coins.
"Dang girl!" Rocky replied. "You are good!"
"Thanks," The girl smiled. "I'm Darcy. Darcy Gold." She extended her hand.
Cece and Rocky shook Darcy's hand.
"I'm Cece and this is Rocky," Cece announced.
"Oh my gosh!" Darcy said. "You guys are on the best TV show ever!"
"Thanks," Cece said popping the collar on her military vest. "We know."
"Shake It Up! is the bomb!" Darcy replied. "I wish I could've audition. But I can't go all the way to Orlando."
"Orlando?" Cece said. "Why were in Kentucky?"
"Kentucky? Really?" Rocky said to Cece. "Orlando's in Florida! She's obviously wanted to audition for Shake It Up! Orlando."
"Yeah I lived in Florida and moved to Chicago," Darcy explained.
"Well, maybe we can invite onto the show!" Rocky said happily.
"Yeah!" Cece agreed. "Maybe onto the show too. Those moves are too good to not be on TV!"
"No!" Darcy shouted. Cece and Rocky jumped.
"No no no! No way!" Darcy panicked.
"Why not?" Cece said.
"I can never dance in public!" Darcy said. "I mean, I can dance in front of small crowds like this but TV, I don't think so!"
"Stage fright?" Rocky asked. Darcy nodded.
"Well, we both used to have stage fright and now," Cece looked at Rocky with a smile. "We are livin' the dream!"
"Yeah yeah," Darcy chuckled. "Well I gotta go. You guys are too cool! Text me."
Darcy handed each girl a slip of paper with her 7 digits on it. Darcy then left.
"She's so sweet," Rocky said. "I feel so sorry for her; not being able to live her dream."
"I know," Cece said packing up her stuff. "We should at least invite her to the set."
"Yeah," Rocky said rubbing her chin. "We should!"
"But that's not exactly leaving her dream," Cece replied.
"Its close enough and we could set up an audition with Gary for her!" Rocky exclaimed.
"But Rocky," Cece said putting her hand on her friend's shoulder. "She has stage fright."
"But he can see her when rehearsal's over," Rocky explained. "So she's basically just dancing in front of one person."
Cece thought for a minute and then smiled.
"Yeah sure it makes sense," Cece said.
"So," Rocky said slyly. "Deal?" She stuck out her hand.
"Deal," Cece said. "She's gonna be so happy!"
