Another Cinderella Story
We Keep Meeting like this.
"Sorry sorry I wasn't looking I just" says Mary
"Nah it's cool it's was my fault to" says Joey
"Hey Joey long time no kiss" says Natalia grabbing Joey face between her hands and leaning in.
"Natalia I broke up with you I want nothing to do with you" says Joey and walks off.
At dance class halfway though.
Joey walks into room behind the mirror to watch everyone and notices Mary but doesn't say anything and watches her dance.
When everyone on the other side has left and Mary is about to.
"You're a good dancer" says Joey
Mary turns round.
"How long have you been stood there?" asks Mary
"Since I left the room" says Joey
"Oh" says Mary
"How long you been sneaking in here to watch the lessons?" asks Joey
"A while I guess your going to tell" says Mary
"No you're a good dancer why don't you just take lessons" says Joey
"Can't afford to my mum was a dancer but she died and now I'm adopted but my step mum won't pay for lessons for me" says Mary
"That's harsh" says Joey
"You haven't meet her she's a total witch" says Mary
Mary phone rings.
"Where are you?" asks Dominique
"I'm on my way" says Mary and hangs up
"I want you back in 30 minutes
"That was her I'm guessing" says Joey
"Yeah I have to go I have to get shopping for dinner and be home in 30 minutes its unreal" says Mary
"Let me give you a lift it'll be quicker" says Joey
"A lift" says Mary
"A lift and free dance lessons from me you a seriously amazing dancer" says Joey
"I'm not some charity case" says Mary
"I know and I'm not trying to make out that you are I just want to dance with you because you are amazing" says Joey
"I suppose I might be into some dance lessons I'm trying to get into Manhattan Academy of Performing Arts" says Mary
"Come you need to get home before you turn into a pumpkin" says Joey
"Wrong story" says Mary
As they walk to the car.
"So what's your name?" asks Joey
"Mary Santiago and I already know who you are" says Mary
"Santiago your mum was like one of the best dancer in the business so my choreographer says anyway" says Joey
Mary gets the things for dinner and Joey drops her off and her house only to return and hour later with his parents and Dustin.
The doorbell rings.
"ANSWER THE DOOR MARY" shouts Dominique
Mary answers the door to find Joey and his parents and Dustin.
Joey gives her a quizzical look.
She ushers them in and into the lounge.
"Dominique won't be long" says Mary about to leave the room to get drinks
"Where's the bathroom?" asks Joey
"Right down the hall" says Mary pointing out of the door
Mary leaves to go and get drinks and Joey follows her into the kitchen.
"Why didn't you tell me you worked for Dominique?" asks Joey
"Didn't figure it was important" says Mary
"So she's really a witch?" asks Joey
"A slave driver" says Mary turning to Joey to find he is very close to her.
"How do you cope?" asks Joey
"By dancing whenever I can" says Mary
"I'd better get back in there" says Joey
"Wait I'm guessing coke for you and your friend and martini for you mum and dad" says Mary
"Yep" says Joey and leaves the kitchen
Mary returns with the drinks and then Dominique arrives and they all go into the dinning room.
"Appetizer Mary" shouts Dominique
Mary brings in the crab puffs.
Half an hour later.
"First course Mary" shouts Dominique
"I will not do a duet with you" says Joey
Mary passes him to put shrimp on his plate and whispers "Neither would I"
"You can either do the duet with me or fade into teenybopper obscurity" says Dominique
Joey looks at Mary with a is she for real look. Mary nods trying her best to hold in the giggles.
She walks into the kitchen but the shrimp down and the giggles let lose until a hand rests on either side of her on the counter she turns and comes face to face with Joey.
"It's not that funny" says Joey
"Yes it is" says Mary
"More Shrimp Mary" shouts Dominique
Mary groans
Joey tilts up her chin Mary forgets all about Dominique and focuses on Joey
"Your not just some charity case I want to get to know you" says Joey
He leans down and captures her lips with his.
"MARY" shouts Dominique
Joey pulls back.
"Go before the wicked witch turns you into a frog" says Joey
Mary grabs the tray of shrimp and races into the dinning room to serve again.
As Joey walks back into the room.
"So have you made your decision?" asks Dominique
"You guys are all mad and I won't do a duet with you" says Joey
"You will regret this" says Dominique
Mary goes to leave the room when Dominique brushes past her and sends her flying onto the floor tripping Joey in the process and he ends up on top of her.
"We keep meeting like this" says Mary
"You ok?" asks Joey
"I'm fine can you do me a favour and take my phone with you so she can't take it off me?" asks Mary
"Sure" says Joey
Joey stands up and helps Mary up keeping her hand held in his for a few seconds.
Mary slips Joey her phone.
"I'll program my number into it and give you at school tomorrow" says Joey
Mary nods.
"Mary you will clean this room spotless in 30 minutes and your phone privilege are suspended for a month" says Dominique
"I lost my phone on the way home" says Mary
"Clean" says Dominique and leaves the room.
Joey sees the room in clear and presses a kiss to Mary's lips.
"I'll see you at school" says Joey
Mary nods. Joey leaves with Dustin and his parents. Britt and Brie go up to their rooms and Mary starts to clean and has the room clean in 20 minutes and goes to hide in her room.
