A/N: okay, this is my first dirty dancing fan fic, and i'm gonna check for gramatical errors and make it longer than the other stories i wrote, and better lol. please R&R. thanx.

Baby's P.O.V

The music began to play faster. I began to pick up the pace. I looked out into the audience. I saw my father playing the beat backward and foward in his head. I felt my heart beat, and it seemed to beat along with the song. I began to spin. Faster and faster although it was carnival ride. I pulled close to Ben. He nodded me on and i instantly understood. I dreaded the moment. I had always been the best dancer. Since my father was the best dancer in Kellermans, i always had the work cut out for me. I prepared for my lift. All the dance steps from dance class were replaying in my mind. I glided over to ben and jumped. I held my breath as he pushed me up into the air. For the first time in my life i felt free from all the expectations i had, i felt like i got to be myself, not some dance sensation. He slowly pulled me down. I embraced him and the music slowly faded. I pulled my hair from its tight bun, as the lights shut off. I walked backstage, and jumped into my daddy's arms. I had always been daddy's little girl. Everyone says I'm exactly like him. I danced like him, i looked like him, and i was him. My mother smiled and stroked my hair.

" Baby, you were GREAT." my daddy said hugging me again.

Everyone called me Baby on account of my mother. My real name was Sophie, but no one ever called me that. Not even my daddy.

He smiled and laughed as if i had said something hilarious. Ben walked over and pulled me away.

"Baby, all of us are going down to the tavern to dance for a bit, wanna come?"

" um." i said looking over to my parents.

" Yea."

My dress swayed in the wind, as we slowly approached the Tavern. I pushed my brown hair behind my ears, and pulled my sweater close to me.

" You cold Baby?" Ben said as he lit up a cigarette.

" A bit." i said as i shivered.

He pulled off his jacket, and threw it over me. I turned and smiled at him. I had always had a crush on him, but he only thought of me as a baby sister. We walked through the door of the Tavern, and approached Lily and Gavin.

" Hey. Lil." i said walking over to Lily.

" Hey Baby. How'd the competition go?" she said putting down her soda.

" Great. I finally did my lift." i said excitedly.

" That's great Baby." she said hugging me.

Lily had been my best friend ever since i met her at my first competition. She had introduced me to Ben, and that's when i switched from individual dancing.

A new song began to play, and i pulled Ben out to the dance floor.

" Hey Baby, where'd you learn to dance?" he said as we began to dance.

" My daddy taught me when i was young." i said smiling.

" I would have guessed." he said as he whipped me around.

We both laughed.

The song finished and i approached Gavin. He put down his beer and hugged me. Gavin was like the big brother i never had. I grew up with him, and practically spent every second with him and Lily. I grew up dancing with both of them, until Gavin was involved in a car crash and was paralyzed from the waist down. Aside from all the injuries he's been through, he was still the happy go lucky kid i grew up with.

The night finished slowly, but it seemed to go so fast. I had my last dance of the night with Ben. Although i didn't know it yet, that night was the start of my summer love.

A/N: i know it's not that long, but i have a party to go to and i wanted to wrap it up.please please please R&R. thanx!
