I do not own Hairspray. If I did I would be so happy I wouldn't bother writing Fan Fiction about it.

Six Rounds

Chapter One: He'll Ask Me On A Date

Tracy's eyes were glowing as Link took her to the side. Everything had happened so fast. One moment she was marching broken hearted in order to integrate TV and now… The Corny Collins show was integrated and Link had dumped Amber and was pulling her to the side to talk to her. What about? Oh her ears were ringing. The bells chimed loudly and all she could think of was the fact that fantasy was at once becoming reality. Could it really be? Could everything she had ever hoped for start swirling into one big truth. Was her years of waiting for the cutest guy in school to notice her actually starting to pay off? Oh God she hoped so.

Link had taken her over into a hall so they could be alone and talk while everybody was dancing and having a blast in the other room. Tracy and Link would have stopped in the first hall had Penny and Seaweed not claimed it already so they just moved over by the water fountains.

"You were pretty great out there." Link said with his hundred watt grin. The one that made Tracy fall for him in the first place. It was his smile. Well that and his wink, that adorable hair that refused to stay with the rest and fell rebelliously onto his face in a small curl. Tracy could talk all day about Link's ascetics and why he was the most amazingly adorable guy in the school but for right now she didn't need to. She just needed to listen to what he said. Whatever he said. His lips were perfect. Tracy was snapped back to reality by Link saying "Tracy… Ya with me girl?" Tracy stopped day dreaming and focused into what he was saying.

"Yeah…" She said. "I was just…Thinking." Tracy said quickly.

Link laughed slightly. "Right." He leaned against the wall, putting one foot against it and crossing his arms. Tracy just watched him in thought before he spoke again.

"I should be getting back in pretty soon but I was just wondering if tomorrow I could pick you up and we could go get a milkshake or something. I have something I want to talk to you about."

Tracy was quick to respond, almost before he finished what he was asking. "Yes I would love to!" She was talking pretty fast. What could she say? Cute guys like Link made her nervous. Her cheeks hinted red.

Link nodded. "Great." He said. "I will see you later. Unless you want a ride home? I know your parents are here but I can give you a ride anyway."

"Ride!" Tracy said instantly. "Ride works out perfectly. I will go tell my mom." Tracy ran off before Link could say another word. She came in to find her mom and her dad dancing with Maybelle. Tracy burst out laughing. It was an absolutely priceless site as her dad tried to bring her mom into a dip and failed. Maybelle was luckily there to help them out. Tracy ran over to her mom. "Mom!"

Edna turned around. "Yes Tracy?" She said, a smile wide upon her face.

"Link is gonna take me home." Tracy said simply.

"I told you that boy was crazy 'bout you!" Edna said before nodding, which was enough to send Tracy running off to Link once more. "She said YES!" Tracy said, throwing her arms into the air.

"Is there a reason your arms are in the air?" He asked.

"It is better if we don't ask that question." Tracy said putting them down and heading out with him.

Next Day

Tracy felt like she was walking on clouds as she headed down the stairs in her dress. She was singing and dancing. Nothing could bring Tracy Turnblad down today. She was going to go meet the man of her dreams at 11:00 to talk. And it was already ten thirty. He was going to pick her up. Life was perfect. There was nothing that could make it better, or so she thought. She didn't eat. She was too excited to eat and her mother got worried because she thought when people didn't eat that the world was suddenly stopping in its tracks, but that didn't matter. After convincing her mother that she wasn't hungry and wasn't losing her mind she ran out to meet Link, who showed up at 10:59. He was early by one minute. Yes, Tracy knew she had an obsession problem but honestly who cared?

Tracy got into the front seat of the car beside him. He was wearing black and white. He looked so great in black and white. Then again he looked great in anything as long as that reluctant hair curled on his forehead and he smiled and winked he was gorgeous.

After a car ride of talking about random things that could not have mattered to anyone they got into the Soda Bar and ordered two milkshakes. Tracy got vanilla and Link got chocolate. After what seemed like only a few minutes they realized an hour had passed. Link finally got to the point of why he had brought her there.

"So Trace…" He began. "I have been thinking about you."

Tracy could have died right then and had been happy. Him thinking about her was basically enough to make her die happy. Yeah she had very low expectations from this perfect guy but still. I mean she wasn't exactly the main attraction, like Amber was.

"I want to make this official so basically what I am saying is. Do you want to go out with me? Say go catch dinner tomorrow night or whenever is good for you?"

"OH MY GOD YES!" Tracy said a little louder than she probably should have.

Link laughed, which made Tracy's face go bright red. "Then it's a date."
