Author's Note: This story is my take on the events after "Step Up 2". Andie doesn't know how to feel about Chase after The Streets. Should she follow her instincts, or is there something more to him? Enjoy.

Prologue

The rain had been pouring the whole time. The rain was cold, but none of them had noticed it. They had won. It was unbelievable. After working so hard and going through so much, they had done it. Once they had realized what happened, they had erupted into celebration. Everyone was hugging each other and screaming. But two people stood still, staring at each other.

It had been an amazing kiss. Tender yet passionate. Behind it was weeks of pent up emotions and relief that they had made it. Andie had been caught off-guard to say the least. Chase Collins, the boy she had despised up until the past few days had kissed her. She wasn't sure how to feel about it, and it frustrated her to no end.

Sure he was good looking and talented. Sure every time he smiled, the girls at school got weak in the knees. But not Andie. He may be tall, blonde, and handsome, but she knew better than to fall for that. Chase Collins was the most self-centered, egocentric, cocky, and insensitive guy she had ever met. And yet in a weird way she liked that about him.

She had tried her best to hate him. But he had grown on her. Especially after sticking up for her and those things he said to her that night in the tree. She had wanted to quit so badly. But he didn't let her. That had to count for something. He couldn't be all bad. But why had he kissed her?

Before she could get an answer, they crowd had swallowed them up and they were separated by their crew engulfing them in hugs and high-fives.

"I can't believe that just happened!" screamed Moose.

Andie grinned at him, "Believe it man, cause that just happened".

Moose shook her, "Did you see my hat trick?"

"Yea Moose, it was pretty tight", Andie laughed.

"Can you believe it? We beat the 410!" yelled Moose.

Andie laughed again and nodded.

Moose smiled and ran off into the crowd.

Where was Chase? Were they supposed to talk about this, or was it a hit and run kind of deal? Andie looked around the crowd. Who knew where that boy had gone. She found Missy in the crowd.

"Let's get out of here and celebrate!" Missy called to her.

Andie nodded and let Missy drag her away from the madness that was The Streets. Andie looked one last time for a sign of Chase. But there was none.
