Spanish Passion
A/N: Hey guys! My name is Joelle, but you can call me Joey! Anyways, this is my first fanfic, so please go easy on me. I do accept constructive criticism. I will be needing all the help I can get. So this story may be a tad bit different than the other stories that appear in the Archive. It's basically about Spanish/dirty dancing. Now, I know what y'all are thinkin', "Half of 'em don't dance!" or "Pshhht, they can't dance to save their lives!" Well, this story is slightly AU. You see, the gang have been separated for 6 years, because they were in college, and later pursued a career for themselves. They receive an invitation from Jerry, to go and attend his wedding… In Spain! Now Jerry here, will be considered the main role. He (and his O/C soon-to-be-wife) are planning to teach the gang samba or you know.. Dirty dancing ;) for their upcoming wedding. The gang, feel a little bit awkward around each other, considering they haven't communicated for over 6 years.. But the power of love, friendship and dancing, will bring them together. Enjoy.

Writers P.O.V
The sun was shining, the birds were chirping, the waves hugging the shore eagerly, cars honking mad at the pedestrians that are carelessly crossing the roads, the Spanish people cursing at one another..
In other words, Spain was perfect.
Jerry Martinez was sitting at a local coffee shop that his fiancée, Teresa, owned. It was called 'La flor espanoles' which means, 'The Spanish Flower'. It was located by the beach, right next to the main road in Costa del Sol. The shop was covered in vine leaves that naturally grew on the orange-red brick walls. Spanish potteries were placed in every corner, with flowers dangling out of the pots. Wicker chairs and tables were placed outside. The umbrellas placed above the tables, waved gently due to the sea wind. Bright portraits, picturing different sceneries and landscapes were hanged inside the coffee shop. Teresa painted them herself.
Teresa.
He smiled at the thought of his fiancée, she was a gentle, yet care-free human that loved excitement and tomfoolery. 'Just his type of lady.' He thought. He looked to his right, revealing Teresa, waiting a table, a beautiful smile was plastered on her face, as she was taking an order from an old man. 'She's so beautiful.' He thought again.
And that was no lie.
Teresa Hidalgo (that will soon be Martinez) was a gorgeous woman. Her long, rue hair was cascading down her back, her body was beautifully curved. Her face had a few freckles, her bright red lips that matched her cheeks. Her Amazon green eyes, always filled with joy and the true essence of her beauty was her sweet personality. She knew how to put someone at ease, always friendly and kind. She also knew how to spice things up when life began to be bland, and that, was a major bonus for Jerry.
Teresa gave a light peck on Jerry's cheek, and sat down. She blew a puff of hair, and tied her long hair in a messy bun. "Hey Jerry.." She replied tiredly.
"Hey beautiful. Aren't you supposed to be working?" He asked questioningly.
"I am, but I'm tired, so I told Manuelo to take my shift." She replied while yawning.
Jerry just chuckled and rubbed her back. He suddenly remembered something. Something that always made him giddy with excitement. The gang is coming to Spain today!
"Teresa, remember when I told you about my friends in Seaford? And how I arranged them to come here so we could teach them how to dance for our wedding? And how we planned on getting those two stubborn idiots together?" Teresa simply nodded. Her fiancé has been talking non-stop about them. She and himself, are going to teach them how to Spanish dance for the wedding. Along with creating love for Jack and Kim, the 'stubborn idiots' is what Jerry preferred to say. He explained to her the confusing love story between his two best friends. How they were always flirting with each other, how jealous they got when they went on dates with other people, how they spar just to feel that physical contact. And yet, they didn't confess their feelings towards each other. All because of their goddamn pride.
Idiots..
Teresa laughed at the story, assuring Jerry that there won't be a wedding until they got together. Jerry just laughed in response.
"Well, we better head to the airport, they'll be here in 30 minutes!" Jerry said excitedly.
"Alright, alright. We're going.." Teresa replied, but she couldn't help but feel excited too.
At the airport, Jerry's P.O.V
I stood there at the departure waiting area, with my arm slinging over Teresa's shoulder. I was super excited to see my friends, I couldn't wait for us to get close again and start sharing our memorable adventures together. I already had the dancing studio cleaned so we could practice easily. I know that Milton and Julie would go on and on about germs and bacteria.. My mind drifted to the couple.
I simply smiled at the thought of the nerdy couple. They were so alike that it was scary. Nerd Love.
I laughed mentally at Jack's way of describing Milton and Julie's romance. He and Kim joined forces to bring Milton and Julie together. Ah, Jack…
The Golden boy. Good looks, great guy, black belt in karate. You'd expect him to be a snob, but he was the opposite. He was this humble, down-to-earth guy, who would do anything to stay loyal to his friends. He was a natural leader. I learned a lot from him. He made me the man I am today. Loyal. Honest. Faithful.. I owe him. He's my brother from another mother. Cue Kim's eye roll..
Kim.
Kim Crawford. The girl who would threat, blackmail, hit, manipulate, lie just to show she wasn't an air-head, pretty blonde who didn't know how to fight.
And boy, did she succeed in doing that.
Nevertheless, she was a kind, generous, loyal, trustful, respectful girl who had her morals. I saw her as my little sister. Even though I have six younger ones.. Kim was considered the best. She always taught me to think twice and put effort in my work.. And I did. I'll have to thank her for that.
My eyes suddenly caught a man eating falafels eagerly, it instantly reminded me of Eddie. Eddie was my spar-mate, best friend and brother. All my adventures were shared with him. And I have no regrets whatsoever. I remember having that rap battle and the falafel-on-a-waffle contest. He won, no surprise there and-
Teresa nudged me, "Hey, isn't that them?" Weirdly enough, they all came on the same day, same time, just different planes.
What a coincidence.
My eyes squinted, but suddenly widened as I realized it was them. "Hey guys! Over here! YOOHOO!" I shouted while waving my arms and jumping around. They stopped for awhile, which confused me, and started screaming and giving out hugs.
"I see the gang finally saw each other." Teresa said, smirking.
Kim and Julie were hugging each other with tears in their eyes, Jack, Milton and Eddie opted for the bro hug, but later tackled each other for real hugs. Once the guys saw Kim, all three of them jumped at her, giving her monstrous bear hugs. But Jack's hug lingered. I looked at Teresa to see her smirking.
"We are so getting them together." She said, with a mischief glint sparkling in her eyes.
I nodded vigorously. That's the plan. Kim saw me waving, and she practically ran towards me, giving me the biggest, most tightest hug in history. The others followed immediately.
"Jerry! Oh my God! Look at you! You look amazing!" Kim was rambling with happy tears flowing down her cheek. I looked at Kim, but that was no Kim. There was a gorgeous blonde girl in front of him. What happened to my baby sister? Kim grew her hair, now reaching her waist, was straightened to perfection, her body has matured over the years, giving her the most heroic curves, Her plump, peach lips were shining, her magnificent brown eyes were sparkling in happiness. "My, oh my.." I thought.
"Salutations Jerry! Long time no see! Look at you, all grown up!" Milton and Julie were talking at the same time, whilst giving me a warm hug. Jerry eyes were about to pop out of their sockets. Milton… Grew! He was taller, and he noticed that he also put on some muscle. His hair was cut into a more mature style, however, he couldn't say the same to his clothes. Milton was still wearing sweater vests and bow-ties. "He'll never change.." I thought. I looked at Julie Alexander, Milton's girlfriend of 10 years, you'd expect him to be married with kids by now! She hasn't changed one bit. Her hair was curled angelically, she still wore those red rimmed glasses, and she was in her usual dress-and-cardigan, but she still had that caring and calming persona that shined a mile away.
"Oh God, Jerry. Man, you look great! Just look at-" Jack didn't continue his words, he just gave me bear hug and squeezed the living soul out of me. "Jesus, Jack gained some serious muscle!" As he released me, I took a large gulp of air. Then came Eddie…
Eddie was tearing up, he was trying to say something but it was all jumbled up, so I saved him the bother and went to give him a big hug. "Oh Jerry bro, I missed you like Hell man.. Its great to see you again.." Eddie said, as his voice cracked at the end. Eddie looked the most different (Apart from Kim) His braces were gone, revealing his pearly, straight white teeth, he lost some good weight, and he grew taller!
When the gang realized I was tearing up, they quickly huddled around me into a group hug. Teresa coughed and crossed her arms, the gang immediately released. "So.. Jerry… You forgetting someone?" She glared playfully at me.
"I couldn't even if I tried." I replied with a sweet smile. "Guys, this is my fiancée, Teresa Hidalgo. Teresa, meet Kim, Jack, Milton, Julie and Eddie." I said, while pointing my finger to indicate my friends.
"Pleasure to – woah.." Teresa was cut off by Kim and Julie giving her a bear hug, in which Teresa happily returned, the girls immediately, locked arms with her, and dragged her away from the boys, they could her them squealing and giggling, as if they have been life-long friends.
I then returned my attention to the guys. We opted for a bro hug and started talking up a storm. Until Eddie brought out the one name that would make the mighty Jack Anderson blush ferociously. Kim Crawford.
"So Jack.." Eddie started.
"So Eddie.." Jack imitated his tone.
"Don't you 'so Eddie' me! We all saw you checking Kim out as if she was some candy in a candy store!" Eddie retorted.
Jack rolled his eyes, "I did not. I'm 24 years old. If I want to get a girl, I just.. get her." He said, nonchalantly. I rolled my eyes.
"Whatever rocks your boat Jack. We all know you love her." Milton said, cooing and pinching Jack's cheek. I made kissy noises, which earned me a playful punch from Jack.
Desperate to change the subject, Jack nudged me and said, "Man, I can't believe you're getting married. I mean we all thought you would be the last one to get hitched!"
"Yeah, well I'm a changed man now. I'm all about commitment." I said proudly. "Oh yeah, and that reminds me, you guys are gonna start dancing tomorrow. Now, we're gonna head home and -"
"Woah, woah, woah.. What dancing? You didn't say anything about dancing in your letter!" Jack exclaimed.
"Bro, you know I had enough of dancing when I left Mrs. King's Dance Academy!" Eddie retorted.
"I can't dance! I'll get sweaty, and then the germs are gonna stick on my skin, and I didn't exactly bring any anti-germ lotion!" Milton rambled and shuddered at thought of germs.
I rolled my eyes, "No buts, you're gonna dance.. And to be specific.. Dirty dance." I turned my back and smirked. I could basically feel their jaws hit the ground.
-
Boring? Check.
Horribly written? Check.
This is disastrous. I know, I am a horrible writer. Anyways, this is just the introduction. The next chapter will talk about the dancing part and them touring Spain. Now, I'm not spanish, and I don't dirty dance. I basically got this idea from watch the original Dirty Dancing, starring the late Patrick Swayze and Jennifer Grey. Kim and Jack will have their moments soon. Don't you worry, this is a KICK story after all.
