(Rocky's POV)
I'm listening to CeCe blab on and on about her play. I've heard this 5 times already...and that's only today."I think it's the best play I'veever written," she keeps repeating. Auditions for it are in 5 minutes, and we're sitting in an auditorium full of ninth graders and 10th graders. Ty is waiting outside in the car. I see Gunther and Tinka on the other side of the auditorium. Gunther's actually wearing normal clothes. Wow. "Okay! Welcome to auditions! Now, auditions for the female lead, Samantha Black. Please line up here." Mrs. Newman says. CeCe grabs my hand and sprints down the aisles. We're 6th and 7th in line.
It's CeCe's turn now. Mrs. Newman is portraying Samantha Black's mom. "I tried," Mrs. Newman says. "Well you should've tried harder! Now the whole country is looking for me, accusing me of a felony that I didn't do, but that you did. You didn't try to admit it, you just turned the tables on to me. What kind of mother does that? I'm ashamed of you, and I'm your daughter." CeCe spits. She's really good. Everyone claps, she bows and smiles.
Now it's my turn. I'm so nervous, but I have to do this, improve my participation in school activities. I step on to the stage. "Are you ready, Rocky?" Mrs. Newman says. "Yes," I say. Mrs. Newman, the English teacher, knows how nervous I get when it comes to speaking in front of a lot of people. "I tried," she says. "Well you should've tried harder!" I spit back. I try to imitate the cops on Law and Order. "Now the whole country is looking for me. Accusing me of a felony that I didn't do, but that you did. You didn't try to admit it, you just turned the tables on me." I connect that that feeling to a memory so I show the expression. "What kind of mother does that? I'm ashamed of you, and I'm your daughter." I connect sadness to that quote and am successful in making tears roll down my face. Everything is dead silent, and then there is an eruption of applause. I curtsey and walk off the stage. I don't see CeCe, I guess she's in the bathroom. "Okay, now auditions for the male lead, Jackson Davis." I see Gunther go to Mrs. Newman and ask her a question, she nods okay and he goes to line.
After 12 auditions, it's Gunther's audition. He's going to sound so ridiculous. Mrs. Newman is portraying Jackson's sister, Bridget. "Jackson, there's a murderer on the lose, and you're going out?" "I happen to know this alleged murderer, and she didn't do it. It's safe. Calm yourself." Gunther says...he dropped his accent! OMG! His American accent is so HAWT! Wait, did I just say that? Whatevs... "But still! Being outside at 11 pm is dangerous!" "First of all, it's only 8 o'clock...IN THE MORNING, and I'm eighteen. A sixteen year old can't handle me that easily. Calm yourself Bridget." "Merida!" That's Jackson's other sister's name. Kelsey Tang volunteered to portray her for the auditons. "Whatdya want?" Kelsey says. "Jackson's leaving!" "Okay, so? It's 8 o'clock in the morning, calm yourself." "Thank you!" Gunther says, gesturing to Kelsey. Then his audition is over.
CeCe's POV
I walk back in from the bathroom. "Hey Rocky!" I say. "Oh hey CeCe, Gunther just finished his audition. He was really good. He dropped his accent." she smiles. "...Wow, okay. Is Mrs. Newman announcing roles now?" "Yup, she's just about to start." Rocky replies. So here are the roles:

Rocky screams and jumps up and down. I smile and jump up and down with her, though I'm very pissed off. GRRRRRRRRRRRR! Why couldn't I get that part, I wrote this whole play for god's freakin' sake! Gunther runs up Rocky and hugs her. "Congratulations Rocky!" he says. "Gunther! Your accent! Why'd you drop it?" "So that Tinka and I could blend in as Americans so people don't know we are illegals." he explains. "Ohhhh..." Rocky and I say. "That's right!" Tinka says. Her American accent is pretty.
3rd POV
After 3 months of practice and a week of rehearsals, the original play by CeCe Jones, Blacklight, premiers on June 16th, the last day of school, at 9:00 pm. There was a huge applause for each cast member. Then they came out in pairs, with Rocky and Gunther leaving with the loudest applause.
Rocky's POV
I really wanna get out of this costume. It's waaaaaayyyyy to CeCe for me. It's a sparkly lime green crop top with an aqua tank underneath. I'm wearing denim shorts and black leggings. My shoes are gold knee high high tops with silver laces. Okay, I'm gonna keep these shoes. Mrs. Newman said we could keep a part of our costume. My hair has been crimped and dip dyed. The tips are multicolored. Green, blue, gold, pink, orange, and red. I hate it. "Rocky!" I hear a familiar voice say. "TY!" I say. I run over to him and hug him. "Good job lil' sis, I knew you would rock the show." he says. I love my brother. "Thanks, Ty," I say, and I hug him again. "Hey, Rocky!" I hear a new accented person say. Gunther is waving me over to him. I see my mother, Gunther's mom, and a woman in a green skirt, yellow shirt, and a green dress jacket and green heels. I skip over. "Hey Gunther, Mom, Mrs. Hessenheffer." I nod. I get a closer look at the woman. She has blonde hair and the tips are black. She crimped it too. Her make up is dark, except for her lips and eyeshadow, which is a natural color. "Hello Rocky, my name is Sera Kolek-Griffin. But call me Sera." she says. I shake her hand and smile, "Nice to meet you Sera,"
"I'm a talent agent for the agency 'The Youthinized Talent: Stars of Tomorrow.' I'd like to offer you and Gunther here an audition. It's for the movie Step Up Revolution. I've seen you dance on Shake It Up Chicago, and your acting skills are amazing! Please, set a high name for my agency. Will you do it?" Sera says. Mrs. Hessenheffer and my mom are looking at us and slightly nodding their heads. Gunther looks at me. I can't help but notice how good his costume looks on him. Jeans, Jordans, an unbuttoned red plaid button down with a plain white t shirt underneath, and a grey beanie. I smile at Sera, "Sure," "Alrighty then," Gunther says, withOUT his accent.
My mom and Mrs. Hessenheffer sign some papers that Sera had in her briefcase. "So, when and where are the auditions?" my mom asks. "They are next week in Miami." Sera says. "Oh yeah! I'm in need of a vacation!" Mrs. Hessenheffer says, high fiving my mom. "I'm sorry ladies, but I only bought 3 tickets, one for me and two for my auditioners. You'll have to buy your own tickets. And another thing, it's my private jet. Sorry!" Sera says. She looks at me and Gunther. "You two need to pack and be at this address by 12:00 midnight tonight. See you in 2 hours!" she says, handing us two cards, then running off. Gunther and I look at each other, mouths hanging open. Then we sprint back to our apartments. I run into my room. I choose to take my indigo suitcase. I organized my closet into casual, formal, fancy, dance, and school. I take 3 outfits from each compartment. I tear off my costume and change into my RUN DMC tee shirt and my casual ripped denim shorts. I grab my phone and it's black charger. I put my blue MacBook Air and its charger in there too. I get my accessories bag. I grab my blue knee high converse, my combat black ankle high boots, my military green midcalf combat boots, my rhinestone studded flats, my purple Jordans ,my black lace up sandals, and my Chinese Laundry black high sandal heels. I throw my accsesories and shoes in an old Dior bag and head out, suitcase in my right hand, Dior bag in my left.
Gunther's POV
I race back to my apartment. I go into my un-be-twinkled section of clothes that Tinka doesn't know I've had for a while. I have casual, formal, fancy, and dance clothes. I grab 3 outfits from each section and throw them in my black suitcase. I get my Converse, my Jordans, my gold Nike Air Maxs, and my black Vans skate shoes. I put my phone, its charger, my Black MacBook Air, and it's charger in my suitcase. Then I sprint out, suitcase in my right hand.
When I arrive at The Hilton, I gasp. It's beautiful. I see Sera over by the elevator. I head over to her. "Hey Gunther! Umm, I have to tell you and Rocky something once she arr-oh there she is now!" Rocky walks in. She's wearing shorts. "Are you immune to the weather?" Sera asks. "You get used to it." she says. "So what did you want to tell us?" I ask. "Um, I kind of accidentally only booked a room that only has two beds..." she says. "...Oh God." I say. "Is the couch big enough?" "Couch? Oh my gosh! I feel silly! You can pull out the couch! LOL simley face!" Sera says. Rocky and I look at each other then back at her. We grab our things and step into the elevator. We arrive on our floor and look for our room number. "47...48...49...ahh! 50!" she says. We open the door to a beautiful room of all white. "I'll take the couch." I say. "No, it's okay Gunther, I'll take it." Rocky says. "Rocky, I'm the only guy here, you get the bed, I get the couch, please, just listen to me." I say, staring into her beautiful brown with green crest eyes. "Okay," she says.
I change into my pajamas and hop into the bed. I shut my eyes and quickly fall into a nice sleep. All of a sudden, I feel warm hands touching my back, shaking it roughly. "What," I groan. I guess I was't in that deep of a sleep. I run to meet the beautiful brown eyes of Rocky Blue. Wait, did I just say that? "Gunther, there's something I need to tell you," she says, sitting on the couch part of my bed. I sit up next to her. "Rocky, is everything okay?" "GUnther, I've been meaning to get this off of my chest for a while." she says shifting. "Rocky, what's wrong?" "I'm in love," "...Great?" "With you." I freeze right there. "I knew you wouldn't feel the same," she says getting up, her off shoulder purple tee shirt, sliding down more. "Rocky, wait." I say, grabbing her hand. "What," she snaps back. I pull her closer to me. "I'm in love with you too. I just, didn't know you felt the same. I think we should keep this on the down low. We can't tell anyone. Not even Tinka and CeCe. Not even our parents. I want this to be between only you and me." I whisper, leaning in. "Okay," she says, leaning in closer. We kiss, and I feel sparks instantly. I put my hand on her waist and pull her even closer, so that I cn hear her heart beat syncronizing with mine. We part and she holds my hand. "Good night Gunther," she says. "Good night Rocky." I whisper. I watch her walk back to her room and I fall alseep, stress free.
CeCe's POV
Why isn't Rocky answering her her god damn phone?! She promised me she'd call me by 12 midnight, but Rocky's way to busy sleeping to call me? GRRRRRRRRRRR! I'm so mad that she got the lead, and I had to play Jackson's sister, Bridget. I only had a few lines! I should've been the star! ME! I wrote the whole damn thing! GRRRRRRRRRRR! I call her one more time. All I hear is: "Hey hey hey! It's Rocky Blue! I'm sorry I can't leave a message after the tone, and leave your name and phone number too! Okay, ttyl!" then the beep. Whatever.
Rocky's POV
After that kiss, I just couldn't sleep. So I go back to see Gunther. He's asleep. Awww! He's so cute when he's asleep! I see the shirt he was just wearing during the kiss, neatly folded up in a corner. I look under the sheets and see he' only wearing garments on the lower half of his body. He. Has. ABS! firm six pack! "Like whatch see?" I hear someone say. I jump back. "Gunther, I didn't know you were awake!" I say. "It's fine Rocky...why are you awake?" he laughs. "...I missed you. After that kiss, I just feel, like I'm missing apart of me, ya'know?" I ask. "Yeah, I know how you feel, Stay here until you feel sleepy, 'kay Rocky?" he says sweetly. "Okay," I giggle. I get under the clovers and lay my head on his chest. He strokes my hair. I lean my head up and kiss him. "Good night," I whisper. "Good night," he whispers back. I close my eyes and dream of him and me.
The next morning, I wake up and find that he's not in the bed. I hear the shower running. I calm myself when I realize that he's probably the one in there. I decide to go to the other shower. I grab my outfit and shower. When I finish changing, I feel two warm, strong hands wrap around my waist. "You look beautiful," Gunther says. "Thanks," I say, craning my neck to kiss his cheek. I'm wearing my gold knee high high tops with silver laces, my dark distressed denim jeans, a black Adam Lambert tank, and a white denim waist jacket. i'm also wearing a gold choker. I turn and check him out. He's wearing black skater Toms, jeans with chains, a green plaid shirt, and a chain necklace. "Someone looks hot today," I smirk. "I try," he says, posing. I laugh so hard that I might pass out. "Rocky! Gunther! Hurry up! Our flight leaves in 3 hours, and getting there early helps with lines!" Sera calls from the other room. Gunther and I sprint to collect our stuff. Once it's collected e head down to the lobby to catch a taxi. Sera is right in front of us, in a black dress that falls to her knees. She's wearing stilleto ankle boots, and her hair is in a bun. We catch a cab and head to the airport.
After we reach the airport we sprint to the security. Then we go to her private jet dock. They shut down private jet docks after 10:30 am, it's 10:20. We finally mke it to the plane and get on. I sit next to Gunther and Sera is somewhere near the back of the plane taking a call. "Hey Rocky, we should take some pictures for Instagram," Gunther says. "Okay," I reply. Our first picture is just us leaning in and smiling. The next is me on his lap. "We aren't posting that one." Gunther says. Then we do silly faces. "I might post that one." Gunther says. Another one is us doing Austin and Dez's, friends of ours, "what up?!" The last one, is us kissing. "Not posting that, but I'm keeping that in my phone." Gunther smirks. I punch his arm. He goes on his Instagram and posts the third one that we took, of us doing silly faces. The caption is "me and rocky blue on a private jet, going to miami for a movie audition. :) :D #soexcited!" About 5 hours later, we arrive in Orlando, Florida. "It's beautiful!" I say looking out the window. "Almost as beautiful as you," Gunther says. "Aww, Gunther!" I coo, kissing his cheek.
CeCe's POV
I'm bored, so I decide to check my Instagram. I see Gunther has posted something. it's a picture of him and Rocky making funny faces. The caption is "me and rocky blue on a private jet, going to miami for a movie audition. :) :D #so excited!" I'm pissed. She didn't even tell me. I mean, just because I went to California for 3 weeks without telling her, doesn't mean that she gets to do the same thing to me! I comment back, bluerock77 (rocky):" y didnt u tell me? i thought we were bffls!" She replies back: ceceluvsdancing55: "CeCe, I can't talk rite now! ttyl!" WHAT?! You don't have time to talk to your best friend? GRRRRRRAGHHHHHHRRRRRRRRRR!
Gunther's POV
As we step into yet another Hilton, I hear something very disturbing. "Hey, Gunther, is that you?" I turn grumpily to see my cousin, Alex. He is SUCH a ladies man. "Hey Alex," I whine. "Great to see you here cuz, and you finally decided to drop your accent, like me!" He looks Rock up and down, and then up and down again. He walks over to her, and goes to kiss her hand, she slaps his hand. She snugs up against me. "Oh, Gunther, you finally got a girl. I told you to get her earlier!" Alex teases. "Shut up," I say. He punches me in the arm. Really hard. "Oh crap! Dude! The freaking hurt!" I hiss. "She'll be mine by the end of the day," he smirks, winking at her. Rocky looks disgusted. "I have a boyfriend!" she says, slapping his face. "Jerk," she spits. And then we walk away with our stuff, to our room. "I made sure to get three beds this time." Sera says. "Great," Rocky says. We make sure we have a good amount of space between us. We pack our things away and decide to relax on the beach. "WE FORGOTNATHING SUITS!" we say, smcking our heads. "Sera, we're going to the store to buy a couple of bathing suits. "Let's find you some bathing suits first Gunther," she winks. I try on five bathing suits, all of them being trunks. Speedos are gross. I have a black one, a dark green one, an orange one, a gold one, and a grey one. "Wear the gold one today," Rocky says. "Your turn Blue," I wink. She gets 5 bikinis: A gold one to match my swim trunks, a hot pink one, a white strapless one, an indigo strapless one, and a black halter one to match my other swim trunks. "You looked hot in all of them. Wear your black one though." I wink. We run back to the hotel to change and get sandals. My flip flops are dark olive green, and I put a towel around my shoulders. I decide not to wear a shirt.
Rocky, on the other hand, covered u a lot. She's wearing a giant camp t shirt and khaki shorts. Her sandals lace up to her midcalf and they're black. "Rox, why'd you cover all the way up? At least change into that sexy translucent cover up that I know you have and that you wear s a shirt." Rocky's mouth hangs open. She goes and changes into that very shirt. She starts to button it. "Don't button it." I say. "But, I'm fat and I don't want anyone to know." she says. "Rocky, you're not fat. You have a beautiful body." I say, stroking her stomach. "GUrrrrrl, watchu talkin' 'bout datchu fat? Gurl, dere be abs dere!"I say in my very bad Jamaican ghetto gil accent. She laughs. But seriously, she has lady abs! "SERA WE'RE GOING TO THE BEACH!" Rox shouts. "Okay! I'll be shaving!" Sera says back. ...okay? We head down to the lobby, I'm just hoping that - "Hey! Gunther! Come back to donate your girl?" Oh god.
