AN: Anything you recognize, I do not own. I just have a thing for Moose :). \
"Which part are you having trouble with?" asked Moose.
"Right after we do the ticking and change formation for the partner stuff. I mean," Chase added hastily, "I
know what it is."
"Course you do"
"It's just that … my feet won't do what I want 'em to." Chase had a pained expression on his face as
though he was having trouble admitting his failure, at least in his mind.
Moose laughed to himself. He knew that Chase was a decent guy--one of his bet friends, helpful, and
talented as hell--but seeing him struggle made him seem, in a way, more human.
"Dude, everyone needs help sometimes. Its normal. You're normal … sort of." Moose smirked.
"Just teach me the steps Roberta." Said Chase with an equally wide smirk.
Moose positioned himself in Andie's spot after shoving Chase playfully. With one of Chase's hands on
Moose's shoulder and the other on his waist, they began to move through the choreography, Moose
occasionally repositioning Chase's foot or explaining a step. There was a lift at the end of the section, but
the skipped over it, though Chase argued that he could easily pick Moose up. Chase was right; he knew
all of the steps by themselves. His problem was putting them together. The two boys worked without
paying any attention to the clock ticking in the corner. Moose wiped the sweat off of his forehead. For a
30 second section, this was taking a while. The pile of clothing in the corner grew as it gained first
sweatshirts, then t-shirts.
"OK man, I think you've got it!" said Moose cheerfully.
"I hope so. I can't mess this up any more. I have a reputation to uphold." Chase stuck is chest out and his
nose in the air.
"Whatever helps you sleep at night." Moose replied as he rolled his eyes.
"One question though."
"Shoot"
"How on earth did you learn both parts?"
"Oh," said Moose with a smile, "that's easy. I'm just amazing. Now get ready, young grasshopper. Let's
see what you've got."
"Whatever helps you sleep at night" Chase mimicked.
Moose pressed play on the sound system, and the music blared through the studio. They started with the
ticking, mirroring each other for 16 counts then changing formation so that Moose was in front of Chase.
Chase manipulated points on Moose's body while Moose caved until he was on the wood floor, one
leg stretched and the other bent under him. Chase slid around him and did the choreography he had
mastered. Then Moose glided forward and danced the girl's part, complete with hips and some booty
shaking. They came together for the final bars, then as Moose backed up Chase saw a look of
determination on his friend's face. He barely had enough time to plant his feet before the smaller boy
launched himself at Chase.
The only coherent thought Chase could form was, "He is light." before Moose had slid down his body,
and wrapped his legs around Chase's waist. He leaned back and placed his hands on the ground, executing
a back walkover and finishing the song chest to chest with a very shocked looking Chase, his hands
around the taller boy's neck, true to Andie's choreography.
The echo of the base faded from the studio was Chase stared wide-eyed at his friend.
Moose turned away and quickly pulled on his shirt and sweats. When he turned, Chase saw that he was
smirking. Through his daze, Chase heard Moose call something before darting out the door.
"See you tonight grasshopper, I hear some pepperoni pizza calling my name."
Please Review. I never though they were that important until I had a story of my very own. Believe me, it means the world! Thanks. :)
