Dancing with The Stars: Victoria Chase

Disclaimer: Nothing I own pertains to Hot in Cleveland. That's TV Land and everybody else's business.

This story is about when Victoria gets chosen to be on Dancing with Stars and she is absolutely thrilled about it, but Joy has a hard time dealing, so she consults Melanie. Implied J/V *Special guest star!*

"I don't know WHY Victoria called us in here so bloody early" Joy said yawning. The three of them (Elka, Joy, and Melanie) were sitting at the kitchen table awaiting some big news Victoria had for them. As soon as they had gotten up, Melanie made a pot of coffee, and was now pouring everyone a cup. Just as she had taken a sip and sat down at the table, Victoria came in, radiant as ever.

"I have brought you all here this morning, to tell you something of great importance." She chimed, while placing her two hands on the back of a chair.

"Just say it" began Elka, "We aren't at a funeral. You don't seem to be dead, so get on with it!"

Victoria gave Elka a sarcastic look, and proceeded with her grand introduction. "I imagine you all have seen who the new dancers are going to be on Dancing with the Stars?" Victoria asked the girls as she swayed back and forth, as if gliding across the kitchen, the tail of her silken nightgown flowing weightlessly behind her. The girls nodded and mumbled yeahs, and suddenly Victoria turned around to face them, with a huge smile on her face. "Well, they have asked me to be one of the celebrities for this season!" They were all glad, and got up to hug her, and congratulated her, and amidst the hugging, Elka asked, "So why did you make us get up this early?" Victoria released them, and everyone sat down at the table once again, and Victoria prepared herself a cup of coffee.

"I am going to meet my hunk of a dance partner today." She smiled, and so did everybody else.

Within the next second, the doorbell rang, and Victoria became nervous. "Oh Melanie, you go answer it! I don't want to…I'm not ready yet." Melanie simply rolled her eyes and walked out of the kitchen, bunny slippers, glasses and all, and opened the door. "Hi, I'm Tony Dovolani! I'm here for Victoria Chase?" Melanie opened the door so he could come in, and when Victoria saw him, she fainted.

You will find out why she faints in Chapter 2. Just go to Wikipedia and look up Susan Lucci.
