AN: I don't own Burlesque or TD or anything related to either one.

Chapter One

Courtney's POV

"Courtney I would like you to do the Diamonds song tonight. Nikki hasn't showed up and someone needs to replace her." Shaun yelled into the dressing area. I was already in the outfit anyway because I was supposed to be a back-up dancer.

As I finished slipping on my shoes I noticed the picture stuck in the side of my mirror, and my heart dropped.

It was Duncan and I. From TDI before I went crazy on TDA and quit after TDWT. He left me for Gwen. After I came back from the show, I left my hometown of Pennsylvania, at the age of eighteen and ran away to L.A. Tess found me and I have been dancing in the Burlesque Lounge ever since. I haven't seen anyone from the show since then. I ceased being a prep and became a sex symbol. I think I like being sexy better.

"Court! You're on!" Shaun yelled.

I climbed to the top of the stage and tangled myself in the diamonds I was going to slide down. I waited until I heard the rawr and down I went into a split.

Duncan's POV

Geoff, Bridgette, and I walked into the Burlesque Lounge for the first time.

"Are you sure we are in the right place? This looks like a strip club," I said.

"Gorgeous the only clothes you'll find flying are backstage when the girls are changing." The host said.

"Relax, I was told by a friend at work that the dancing here is awesome." Bridgette said.

As we took our seats my mind drifted to Courtney. It's pretty weird that I haven't seen her in five years and I'm still thinking out her.

Rawr!

"OH MY GOODNESS!" all three of us shouted at once.

The girl on the diamonds slidding into a split was COURTNEY!

"What the hell is she doing here?" Bridgette yelled.

"I don't know but I'm going to find out," I yelled back to her and got up from the table.

As I did I almost ran face first into a poster.

Right front and center in a very inappropriate pose was Courtney. The headline was:

The Best View On Sunset Strip.

Starring Courtney!

This had to be a joke.
