A/N: Hey everyone! This is my first story here (finally). I have been blank for ever and then today the idea just came to me. I hope the grammar and spelling are okay since I'm not native English-speaking. I hope you like the story. Please review:)

Sunday – 9 A.M.

So this was it. The Shake it up, Chicago!-studio. It wasn't at all as big as I had thought but it was just amazing to be here.

I saw him walking towards me. Gary Wilde. I was chocked. On TV he looked kind of hot but in real life he looked scary and like had been using too much botox!

"Casey McDonald – so nice to see you!" He said and walked towards me. "I'm Gary Wilde, the hostof Shake it up, Chicago!"

"Hello, I know who you are, I watch Shake it up, Chicago! every week. It's a dream come true to be on the show – I can't wait for going live on Saturday!" I said happily.

"Neither can the show's background dancers. They're all so excited to meet you," Gary said.

"Really?" I asked, surprised but happily. "I didn't think they even knew who I am."

Then they came, the show's background dancers. I recognised them all from the show, and I knew their names from looking at . There was Gunther and his sister Tinka, looking more eccentric than I'd ever seen them look on the show – and then their outfits matched each others, of course. And there was the spunky CeCe and her best friend, Rocky. They were both wearing cool and colourful outfits. I thought that they would probably love my sister, Lizzie, who's also been dressing like that, lately. I kept recognising the rest of the dancers.

"Everyone, this is one of the week's guest dancers, Casey McDonald," Gary said.

"Hello," I said and smiled.

"Who is she?" Tinka asked.

"I'm Casey McDonald," I said.

The dancers looked around at each other but none of them seemed to recognise me.

"Gary said you knew who I was. He said that you were excited to meet me!" I said and looked confused at Gary.

Gary did look a little ashamed but then said: "I only said that they where excited to meet you."

"Oh," I said. "Well, my name is Casey, I'm 18 years old. I come from Canada where my mom, stepdad and five siblings live. I've just finished high school and is now dancing on Broadway for a year before I'm going to attend college."

They all still looked blankly at me. Then CeCe ran to me pulling Rocky with her.

"And I'm CeCe Jones, 13 years, and this is my best friends, Rocky Blue, also 13 years. I have an obnoxious little brother, Flynn." CeCe said.

"And I have an annoying big brother, Ty," Rocky said. "Welcome to the show."

"Thanks," I said. I kind of liked these girls.

"Now let's get dancing!" Gary said but then left because he actually wasn't going to dance.

Then I worked on a routine with the background dancers for two hours before another guest dancer came, whom the dancers where now going to work with. It was going to be a long Sunday for these dancers…

11 A.M.

I took my stuff and left to go to my hotel when I met Rocky and CeCe in the hallway.

"Hi again," CeCe said.

"Hi girls, aren't you supposed to be dancing right now?" I asked.

"This dancer is a total diva, he won't let us be in his routine," Rocky explained.

"Which means we have nothing to do for the next two hours…" CeCe said.

I knew what she wanted and decided to let her have that.

"You could show me around in Chicago," I suggested.

"Yes, yes! We would love to do that!" Both girls screamed in unison.

The first place they took me was to a park with an ice-cream stand. I've never had so good ice-cream before, honestly! We sat down on a bench in the park and started talking.

"So how did you get to be on "Shake it up, Chicago!", if you're on Broadway?" Rocky asked.

"The producers of "Shake it up, Chicago!" heard about me and asked me to come on the show, and I was having a couple of weeks off now, anyway, so I said yes," I explained.

"That's so cool, Casey! And you're so lucky, you can dance all day and won't have to worry about school," CeCe said.

"Actually I do. See, I'm going to uni in September, so I'm actually studying a little once in a while so that I'll be able to keep my grades up," I explained.

"Finally someone who understands the importance of great education!" Rocky said.

I laughed a little.

"So where are you taking me now?" I asked.

12.45 P.M.

When we had been a few more places – the mall, the arcade ect. – they had to go back to the studio to work with the next guest dancer. We said goodbye and I went to my hotel.

"Hello, ms. how can I help you?" the hotel receptionist asked.

"Hello, I'm Casey McDonald - McDonald with Mc – I'm here to check in," I answered.

The receptionist searched for me in her data-base.

"Sorry, we have no reservations for someone with that name," the receptionist said.

"What? Can you please check if there's a Casey MacDonald – with M-A-C? Maybe they have misspelled my name," I said.

The receptionist checked.

"I'm sorry. Still no Casey McDonald," she said.

"But haven't you gotten any rooms for someone on Shake it up, Chicago!?" I asked.

"Of course we have," she said. "Have they booked the room for you?"

"Yes," I answered.

"So you where here at check-in this morning between 10 A.M. and 12 P.M.?" she asked.

"No, I was at the studio dancing," I said.

"I'm sorry, if you haven't been checking in during the check-in time you loose your room," the receptionist said.

"What?" I asked. "But I couldn't possibly be here at that time. And no one has told me about this check-in time!"

"I'm sorry, I can't help you," the receptionist said.

I went outside the hotel and called the studio.

"Shake it up, Chicago!'s office, you're speaking with Linda, how can I help you?" a woman, Linda apparently, said in the phone.

"Hi, I'm Casey McDonald. I'm on the show this week. I was at the studio dancing between 9 and 11 this morning. And I just got to my hotel to check-in and they said I'm too late," I told Linda.

"Did you come in their check-in time?" she asked.

"No, no one told me about the check-in time. I wasn't here before 13 P.M. That's only an hour too late," I explained.

"I'm sorry, but if you didn't check in at the right time, there's nothing I can do," Linda said.

"But I need a new room," I tried to explain.

"We've already paid for your room and we won't get our money back from the hotel just because you didn't check-in. So you'll have to pay for your own room now," Linda said.

"I can't afford that," I said.

"I'm sorry, I can't help you. Do you need anything else, ms? Because there're other people on the line waiting," Linda said.

"No, bye," I said and hung up.

Great. I was in Chicago were I knew nobody and had no where to go…
