CeCe had gone home, partially disappointed at having Gunther as her partner. Slamming the door, she walked in and plopped herself onto the couch with a sigh, making Flynn jump.
"Hey! Just because something happened to you that you don't like, does not mean you can take it out on me!" Flynn explained seriously to her. Sometimes he sounded a lot older than eight, which scared CeCe sometimes.
"Sorry Flynn… I just… I got paired with Gunther for a dance competition" CeCe sighed, putting her head in her hands. She could hear Flynn snort.
"There, there" he said, stifling bursts of laughter yet to come. Then Deuce and Ty appeared and burst into chortles of laughter. CeCe turned and gave them a death glare.
They immediately stopped laughing and cringed away.
"What are you doing here?" She asked, annoyed as she got off the couch to change into her pajamas.
"Umm, We're umm… Hanging with Flynn! Right buddy?" Deuce and Ty said, nodding their heads.
"CeCe! There's pizza on the counter!" her mother yelled from her room.
"That's why they're here" CeCe said aloud, slipping on her pink PJ's with hearts on them then going to the kitchen to grab a slice of pizza to take back to her room. It was only six thirty but CeCe felt super tired. She hadn't even practiced with Gunther… Not that she really wanted to but if they wanted to win, they needed to practice. Once the pizza was finished, CeCe turned her bedside lamp off and slipped under the covers for an early sleep.
The next day Gunther had arrived super early to practice. The knocking had woken CeCe from a dreamless sleep. She groaned and went to go see who it was. She didn't even bother to look through the peephole. She didn't know who to expect but when she opened the door to see Gunther on the other side, she froze. She was still in her pajamas! What would he think of her! Wait, who cares what he thinks of me, she thought.
"Good morning CeCe!" He greeted her with a straight face.
Great!
He was dressed in an aqua shirt that stuck to his body, showing his lanky, but muscular chest. Heavy with the glitter on the shirt, the pants definitely not as much but still some here and there. His pants were completely white except for an aqua design on the side with black outlining it, both designs were sparkly. His hair was in the usual slicked kind of style with the spiked front.
"Gunther!" She hissed quietly.
"What?" he wondered.
"Ummm…. Uh, wait in here, you cant be in my house or my mom will freak if she sees you! She'll think we're dating!" she said, with a small hint of disgust in her voice. "And I have to go change" she said, walking into her room. She put the clothes she had on the day before, put a bit of make up on, sprayed some vanilla body mist on herself and tied her hair into a neat ponytail. When she got out of the bathroom Gunther gave her a look over.
"No no no!" He whispered throwing his hands into the air. "You cannot wear vat you had on yesterday!" Gunther cried. He walked into CeCe's room and went through her drawers, looking for something for her to wear. CeCe gawked at him.
"Ugh, you have ugly, disgusting clothes!" he said with a sour face. CeCe was just about to argue and burst at him when he continued. "Non of them have sparkles! Good thing I brought my betwinkler!" he said proudly, holding up a stapler looking thing.
"Get me some clothes I can betwinkle!" He said. CeCe sighed in defeat and went over to her dress up closet. She took a very cute black dress with a little skirt that came just above her knees. The skirt was ruffled and pink fringed at the end of it. Sleeveless but there were strings that tied around her neck. It looked like a figure skating dress, but it was what she used for dancing. Gunther took it and went into the bathroom. In a matter of minutes he came out with the glittering dress.
"Wow Gunther!" CeCe cried. "That's pretty good."
"Now you can put it on und ve can leave" he said waving her off.
Once CeCe got into the bathroom, she actually sat and admired Gunther`s work, but realising they needed to get out of here and practice, she quickly slipped the dress on and emerged out of the bathroom in a pose.
"See! Zat`s better!" Gunther clapped. CeCe was starting to get really used to Gunther`s accent.
I'd better get used to it! she told herself sternly. She was going to be working with him for two weeks. "Kay, ready to go?" She asked him.
"Yes"
"Then let's go!" she said, pointing her thumb over her shoulder toward the door.
When they actually got out of the building Gunther looked at CeCe with a puzzled look.
"CeCe. Vhere exactly are we going?"
"Uhh…" CeCe started with a dumbfounded expression.
"I know! We shall go to my house!"
"Umm no! Sorry Gunther but, isn't Tinka practising at your house?"
"Oh yeah…. Well then vhere else is there to go?"
CeCe had to think.
"light bulb!" CeCe yelled, pulling her cell phone out of her pocket. She dialed a number and started talking, very seriously, and whining a bit, trying to persuade the person on the other end.
