I've been toying around with this idea since 2009, I was about 12 then, and after seeing the onscreen trainwreck that was the Dirty Dancing remake, I got frustrated. They had so much room for creativity. Dirty Dancing ended in a way that allowed for almost any sort of sequel to be made and instead they decide to redo the original story and butcher the movie we all know and love when they could be focusing on a new character and acknowledging Patrick Swayze and the legacy of Dirty Dancing. They could have done all this, but they didn't. So I'm going to. Something you should know about my writing style: I imagine scenes. I imagine actors playing my characters, and I imagine a soundtrack. So I'll be posting a cast list as well as inserting song titles incase you want to listen along to what I'm imagining. Really immerse yourself in it. I hope you enjoy this as much as I have enjoyed imagining it for the past seven years.

I own nothing but the non canon characters and plot. And while this isn't the first chapter, it's what you need to know before reading it.

Timeline: Since 1963, Baby switched her major to Medicine, becoming a doctor to be able to provide aid in the peace corps. By 1977 she had finished all necessary schooling, however she gave birth to her daughter in 1974, and didn't want to leave her family for long, so she has since moved her practices to general surgery and aims to provide care for those who cannot afford it. Since 1963, Johnny has become a choreographer in New Jersey where he and Baby have resided since they moved in together in 1967. They married in 1972. Jake Houseman died in 1984 of a heart attack.
