Hi everyone! So I've never really written fanfics before, only read. I've realized that there weren't many for Moose and Camille (probably one of the best couples in the Step Up series), so I decided to write one! I hope you all enjoy it, and I'd love your feedback so please go right ahead! Have fun!

Moose sighed dejectedly. He loved being in Vegas, especially dancing with some of his closest friends, but it's not the same without Camille. Call him whipped, but he loved his girlfriend and wished she could experience this with him. Although, they've been texting practically nonstop since he got there and have FaceTimed at least 3 times in the past 24 hours. But who's counting?

*buzz buzz*

His face split into a wide grin as his phone went off, knowing it was from Camille. "What's got you all happy?" Andie questioned her friend. Sean snickered beside her. "It's probably from his girl. That thing has been going off all night." A faint blush began to grow along Moose's cheeks as he quickly texted back a response.

"Speaking of beautiful señoritas, check out that one over there." Moose rolled his eyes, shaking his head. The twins could be very blunt sometimes, and with his back to the poor girl, he couldn't see her face. "Hola, mi amor," the other brother shouted smirking at Moose, but he didn't turn around, trying not to embarrass the twins' victim even further. "It's alright guys, I already got one," Moose replied, shaking his phone, indicating that he had been texting Camille and wasn't interested in some chick.

*buzz buzz*

Message from Cam: You really should check out that girl, she's pretty hot.

Moose looked at his phone confused. What the hell? "I think she has a boyfriend though. Bummer," an all too familiar voice called out from behind him. Moose turned around to find his girlfriend standing there with a cheeky grin plastered to her face. Her chestnut hair was curled to perfection and her green lace dress made her toned legs look like they went on for miles. Moose was stunned into silence until he finally regained his voice, enabling him to squeak out, "Chameleon?"

He scrambled from his seat to her, placed his arms around her waist, and spun her around as she giggled at his dorkiness. "Babe, what are you doing here? I thought you couldn't get off work." She softly smiled, "Well I pulled a few strings with Bri and she said she'll cover for me. Plus, Andie said you've been pouting like a little puppy since you got here."

"HEY! No I haven't!" He turned to look back at Andie, who along with the others had been looking on at the couple with amusement, and yelled, "No I haven't!" He pouted again. Cam laughed, "It's okay baby, I think it's kind of cute."

"Cute? Cute? Cam, Moose is sexy, not cute."

"Yeah, sure," she said, rolling her eyes. He pretended to be hurt for a few seconds until he grabbed her hand and kissed it. "You know I really did miss you. Sleeping next to Sean isn't the same as sleeping next to you. He won't cuddle with me." Camille snorted then cupped his face with her hand and said, "Well it's a good thing I'm here now isn't it?" She leaned in to kiss him, but Moose being Moose quickly deepened it, slipping his tongue into her mouth. They forgot their surroundings and the fact that they were in a crowded casino with many curious onlookers. As he tightened his arms around her waist, Sean decided to pull the lovebirds out of their warm embrace by not so politely yelling at them to stop sucking face in public.

While Cam pulled away flushed and blushing madly, Moose was smug and breathless, staring at his girlfriend. She looked at him with a gleam in her eye he's never seen before and said, "I missed you too," before she gave him another quick peck. As she walked away to their friends, he thought to himself, How the hell did I get so lucky?

"You coming or what?" She called, pulling him out of his momentary trance. Embarrassed he had been caught, Moose quickly retreated to her side as everyone teased and laughed at him. He placed his arm around Cam on instinct, and she put her hand on his thigh.

Ever since they began dating during their freshmen year at NYU, they were always close in their relationship, physically and emotionally. Their transition from best-friends to boyfriend and girlfriend made their love even more passionate and intense because of how well they knew each other. They were honestly a sight to see. Although the crew always teased them, they loved the atmosphere they brought to the the family. Camille and Moose were so in love with each other; as cheesy as it was, it made them believe that maybe soulmates really did exist.

"Drink Cam? Beer or wine? It's on me," Andie asked her friend.

"Oh no it's fine. I don't feel like drinking tonight. A water is fine." Camille told her.

"You sure Cam?" Moose asked. "C'mon, it's Vegas. You're allowed to have a little fun."

"Yes Moose I'm sure." She gave him one of her looks that he knew too well. He backed off quickly and dropped the subject. Angry Cam wasn't his favorite thing in the world. Andie, however, picked up on the subtle exchange and made a mental note to ask Camille about it later.

"So how did you two meet?" Violet asked, quickly changing the subject. New to the most of the crew, she hadn't really gotten to know everyone yet.

"Well we go way back, since we were kids actually, but Moose and I officially met in high school, where Andie went. He helped me out with a choreography project, and he pretty much became my best friend." Moose smiled at the memory of how close they were from the moment they met. "But we didn't start dating until college because he's an oblivious idiot." Everyone laughed, remembering how much he was in love with Camille and didn't even realize it. Their kiss after the World Jam was not soon forgotten, ensuring the endless teasing by the Pirates. Moose put his hands up in surrender, "Okay I know I was stupid. But I got there in the end didn't I?" Camille looked at him, "That you did. Finally." She gave him a short but sweet kiss on the cheek.

"Aw, you two are adorable. So you're a dancer too then?" Violet inquired.

"Was. Not much anymore. I'm studying nursing at the moment. I leave the dancing to this one," Cam replied, lovingly nudging her boyfriend.

"Please. She's incredible. She was born to dance. Her brother is Tyler Gage." Moose bragged, causing Camille to blush at the compliment.

"Really? I saw one of his shows a few years ago. It was amazing! Him and his partner work so well together." Violet exclaimed, her eyes widened with awe. Tyler had become pretty famous in the industry after touring with some household names like Usher, Jay-Z, and Justin Timberlake.

"Yeah, he and Nora are great. She's like the sister I never had, well next to Andie of course. They got married a couple years back. They've both taken some time off now because of the baby."

"Oh, how is little Elliot?" Andie asked. "I haven't seen him since he was born."

"He's doing really well. He's almost walking, if you can believe it." Camille was so excited when she found out she was going to be an aunt. She absolutely adored children and Elliot loved when his Auntie Cam and Uncle Moose come to visit.

"Okay enough of the girl talk, Mooski this is your song," Hair said, taking a sip of his beer while everyone made noises of encouragement. "Give us a little something!" Moose looked over to Cam, who was laughing at his apprehension. "Show em' what you got baby." She gave him a wink which boosted his energy, and he jumped up into action with the clap of his hands to the beat of Skippin by Mario.

Moose busted out a few hip hop moves, slickly twirling Kido a drink in the process. His intricate but flawless hand movements amazed everyone at the bar as they stopped their activities to watch Moose's performance. He "borrowed" a man's hat, much to the amusement of the audience he had gathered, and jumped onto the bar. His body moved along to the rhythm of the music, letting himself get lost in the dance. The crowd watched on in awe as he ran along the countertop of the bar and freestyled his way back to the ground. He caught Camille's eye and made a split second decision to pull her up with him. She stood reluctantly but giggled as Moose slid around her, egging her on to dance with him. The roar from the bystanders finally convinced her to just let go, and she and Moose danced together like they've practiced the routine for days. She tried to mimic some of his moves but added her own twist to it, making them her own. Cam played hard to get, playfully turning down any advances Moose attempted to make on her but seductively moving her hips in the process, which made him try even harder. They moved so in tune with one another that everything was a blur but each other. Finally, Moose made a grab for her hand and twirled her into his arms, bringing Cam into a low dip but then sharply pulled her up so her face was level with his, one arm supporting her lower back while the other reached under her thigh which was hitched up to the side of his waist.

They were both breathing heavily, noses slightly touching, still looking into each other's eyes. The contact was finally broken when they heard the shattering noise of applause from their little audience, causing them to jump apart. Camille, not used to the attention, turned the color of a very ripe tomato and tried to hide her face in Moose's neck. He laughed, kissing her hair, and gave a quick "thank you" to the crowd before rejoining his friends.

The crew, however, looked a mixture of amazement, shock and glee; it would have been extremely funny if Moose and Camille weren't so confused. "Uh, you guys alright?" Moose questioned the odd stares he was receiving. Sean was the first to actually speak up. "Okay what the hell was that?" Moose looked to Camille to try and decipher what was going on, but she was just as clueless. "Alright, you've lost us."

"We've never seen you two dance like that before," Hair admitted, shrugging his shoulders.

"Oh come on, I'm sure you have. We've danced together so many times. The World Jam? Rehearsals? Luke's movie?" Moose rambled on.

"Yeah but not like that! That was intense dude," Monster admitted. Camille was surprised to say the least. She knew she could dance but it had been a while she'd done it in public. And she really did miss it. "You've got to dance with us in the battle tomorrow Camille," Violet announced enthusiastically to an awfully quiet Cam. Her eyes widened as she shook her head. "Oh no I couldn't. I stopped dancing a long time ago. Plus, I don't even know your routine."

"Well you are a fast learner. We all literally saw you pick up Moose's moves in seconds. I'm sure you can do it!" Andie asserted. If was going to get Cam to dance again, she was all for it. Camille was a natural talent; she just needed to believe that she was.

"Well... For me, I would love for you to perform with us. I know you love it and I know you miss it. And it's only for a few days." Moose confessed to the her, trying to convince her to follow her heart. And truth be told, he worked better with her. She was his dance partner, and knew him unlike anyone else. Loud begs and pleas from the crew started to draw attention and very annoyed looks from other people.

"Okay, okay! Calm down, you'll cause a scene," Camille shushed, laughing at their insistency. "If you all really want me to then I guess I could do it. As long as it's okay with the boss." Hopeful faces all turned to Sean who looked like a deer in headlights. "Uh you kidding me? Hell yeah! We'd love to have you on board Cam. I'd be crazy to say no." Relief washed over them as they smiled and chattered with excitement.

"So you're really going to dance again?" Moose asked Camille in a low voice, so only she could hear. She grinned at him. "Looks so, doesn't it?"

"I'm proud of you Cam," he said, hugging her close to his chest and kissed her forehead.

"I do have one question, though."

Moose looked down curiously into her eyes. "How long have Sean and Andie been...?" She trailed off hoping he'd pick up on her implications. "Been what?" Moose inquired, still looking confused. "Oh babe. Please tell me you're really not that oblivious," she chuckled quietly. "What? What are you talking about?" He insisted, making Cam laugh even harder. "Oh god you're so cute," she said, affectionately rubbing his cheek. "Sean and Andie are totally crushing on each other."

Moose's eyes widened in realization. "No! You've got to be joking. They've been at each other's throats since we started. They can't be!" Was he really that unaware of his friends' feelings? Well it wouldn't be the first time, he thought. Camille snorted at her boyfriend's newfound knowledge. "Moose I've only been here for a little over an hour and I've already picked up on this."

"Maybe it's a girl thing? You know, the relationship stuff. Because apparently, I don't know shit," he sighed heavily.

"Possibly. It's okay babe. I don't even think they realize that they like each other yet. Give it some time, they'll figure it out soon enough." Moose looked down, smiling wickedly at her. He took a quick glance around the room to make sure no one was paying attention to what he was about to do. "Alright Cupid, maybe you could tell me what's in store," he begun in a low, seductive tone that made her legs quiver, planting delicate kisses up her neck. "For a curly haired dancer." Kiss. "Who has missed his girlfriend terribly." Kiss. "And wants nothing more." Kiss. "Than to take her upstairs." Kiss. "And have his way with her." He reached right under her ear so that it looked like he'd just been whispering into it; only they knew otherwise. Camille grins mischievously at the thought.

"Well," she breathed softly into his ear, "maybe he will. After, of course, she has her way first." Her lips hovered over his, just brushing past but not exactly touching. "I guess we'll just have to see then," she said leaning in closer and closer until she abruptly stood up, leaving Moose hanging.

"I'm gonna head to the ladies' room. You girls wanna come?" She announced to which they all agreed. Why girls always went to the bathroom together confused the boys to no end. Before Camille left with the girls she turned around to shoot Moose, who was still in the position she left him gaping like a fish out of water, a sly wink and sashayed away. This woman will be the death of me, he thought to himself.

The guys started to snigger at Moose after they left, which finally jerked him out of his dazed expression. "You are so whipped mi amigo," Marcos told his friend while his brother, Martin, made a whipping sound with his mouth. Moose shrugged his shoulders, not even trying to deny it this time. "Well what can I say? I'm young and in love and happy. A lot of people don't get to find the person they want to be with so early on in life, so I consider myself lucky." His friends were stunned at his response. Obviously they knew that Moose loved Camille, but they didn't realize how serious he was about it. "So you really think you've found the one?" Vladd asked him. Moose looked down at his hands nervously. "Okay you can't tell Camille about this or any of the girls because knowing them, they'll probably blab to her." The guys shared a bewildered look with one another while Moose reached into his pocket, taking another quick scan of the room to make sure Camille wasn't in sight.

In his hand, he pulled out a small black box and in it was a beautiful diamond ring, not too extravagant but still must have been a good load of money. "I had been saving up for it since graduation and I bought it a few months after I started at McGowan's. I always carry it around with me because I'm paranoid I'll lose it or forget where I put it or something," Moose said sheepishly, his cheeks tinted to a light rose color. His friends were silent in all of this, too shocked to say anything until Sean finally came forward. "Who would've thought that Moose would be the first one to get married?" He laughed and stood up to give Moose a hug. "Congrats bro. I'm really happy for you," he said before all the other guys began offering their congratulations to the curly haired boy. "So when do you plan on popping the question?" Chad asked after they all settled down. "I honestly don't have a clue. I was thinking about doing it a few weeks ago, but then rehearsals started and we just became so busy." Moose sighed in frustration. "I'm sure you'll find the perfect time to do it. Don't worry man," Gauge reassured him.

Hair practically threw the ring back to Moose when he saw the girls making their way back to the table. He quickly stashed it safely into his pocket right before they got back. "You boys find something to talk about while we were gone?" Andie asked as they found their seats. The boys shared a knowing look with each other and smiled. "Uh yeah we found a few things," Monster laughed, trying not to look them in the eye in fear of cracking up in laughter.

Sean whispered something to Andie, and her entire face lit up, something that was very hard to do. Camille gave Moose one of her I told you so looks as they bid their goodbyes after stuttering something about exploring the city. "Why don't we head out too?" Camille asked Moose, entwining their fingers. "There's something I wanted to show you." Moose furrowed his eyebrows, trying to think of what she could be talking about, but he agreed.

The two told their friends they'd meet them back at the room before leaving the casino, hand in hand. Although he didn't say anything, Moose wasn't oblivious enough to bypass the fact that his girlfriend was anxious about something. She was biting her lip, a habit he realized she did when she was nervous. During finals week at NYU, she would sometimes bite so hard it would bleed. "You okay?" he asked her, worried something was wrong. "Huh? Oh, no everything's fine babe," she responded a little too quickly, but Moose didn't say anything more. He knew whatever it was; she'd tell him when she was ready, but he couldn't help but think to himself, What is she so afraid to tell me?
