Chapter One
Baby laid awake in her bed that night. Tomorrow she was going with her family to Kellerman's. That was the place where her life had been changed forever. She wondered if Johnny would still think of her like he had last summer. She fell asleep lost in thoughts of possibilities. The next day Baby was up and ready before anyone else in the house. By the time she was ready to go she was more restless than she could remember being in her entire life. The drive seemed to take days rather than hours. When they neared Kellerman's she noticed a figure standing along side of the road, as if waiting for someone. As their car came closer she recognized the figure to be Johnny Castle, the resort dance instructor. Her heart leaped in her chest. As soon as the car was parked Baby jumped out and ran straight into Johnny's arms. He scooped her up and spun her around. Just for a moment the world around them seemed to disappear. When everything else came back into focus Johnny helped the Hausman family unload their bags. For Baby it was a dream come true. She'd spent all year wondering if Johnny had moved on to someone else. Now she finally had her answer. And she realized that it didn't matter if they were together forever, because what they had was now and that was enough.
Mike Davidson sat alone in his room. Wondering what Baby was doing at that very moment. He still couldn't believe she'd dumped him for some "dance"
instructor. She'd come crawling back to him. Of that he was sure.
The morning after arriving at Kellerman's Baby and her family were sitting at a table eating breakfast. Max Kellerman, the owner of Kellerman's stopped by to tell them about the dance contest that was going to be held for couples. Baby knew right away that she wanted to enter with Johnny. "Max", she asked, "would staff-guest entries be allowed?"
"Naturally", Max replied with a smile. After breakfast Baby went to Johnny's cabin to tell him about the dance contest. They agreed that entering together might be fun. They'd have a good chance of winning and it would give them an excuse to spend a lot of time together.
"Do you think Penny will enter?" asked Baby.
"With who?" asked Johnny. "The thing with Robby didn't work out and she hasn't been in a relationship since."
"Maybe now would be a good time for her to get into one."
"That's Penny's decision, not ours."
"One, two, three, four, one, two, three, four!" Johnny counted to Miss Violet Black, one of the "bungalow buddies." It was rather obvious, even to the untrained eye, that she was not learning The Mambo at top notch speed. Johnny spotted Baby coming in and he eyed the clock. "Well, looks like that's enough for one day", he said to Violet. Violet spotted Baby and smiled. "Hi", she said, "aren't my dance lessons starting to pay off?" Johnny rolled his eyes behind Violet's back but, Baby just smiled and nodded. After Violet left Johnny sighed with relief.
"It seems to be going great", Baby said sarcastically.
"I don't suppose you can still mambo", Johnny said, daring her to try.
"You want to bet?", asked Baby, rising to the occasion. Suprisingly she actually could still mambo pretty well. Maybe she was a little rusty, but after all it, had been a year.
