A/N: Woah! I honestly wasn't expecting those kind of reviews! You guys made my day :) thank you. Without further ado, let's all continue into 'Discover it Up!'

Chapter Two

Duece flipped his giant quilt off of his body, bracing himself for the oncoming blanket of cold air that swept over him. With a quick shudder, he got up and proceeded to head to the bathroom, yawning and stretching on the way. He squirted some toothpaste onto his toothbrush, and began to vigorously wash his teeth, and stare at his reflection in the mirror. His family was known to have good looks, and perfect smiles, so it was a crime to not live up to the Martinez-Men look to his male relatives. After rinsing it out his mouth, he ran back to his room, and picked out a fresh pair of boxer briefs, a pair of dark blue jeans, and a graphic tee with a picture of a chainsaw on it. How ironic, he thought, as he made his way towards the bathroom once more. He stripped down, and headed into the shower and began to wash himself, his thoughts of his dream last night filling into his head.

Surely enough, it was normal to dream about the day he and Ty had first met since they spoke the same night, but the way Duece felt after Ty had called him amazing, was bothering him a bit. He felt the same feeling in his chest and stomach when Dina had first officially called him her boyfriend, which made Duece wonder if maybe he feels the 'Rush', so he calls it, when someone compliments him. Even when Rocky had kissed him on the cheek, he felt it in his stomach, like rabid butterflies fighting for survival, albeit Rocky had mistaken him for his cousin Harrison.

Duece also thought about he'd appreciate Ty for everything he's done, without looking like a fool tonight while watching Texas Chainsaw. He'd never get over what had happened while watching Eat, Pray, Kill 3D with one of his dates. Apparently in one scene, a woman had her finger cut off and it flew towards the screen at the exact moment Gunther had decided to throw a cocktail weenie in his popcorn, causing him to shriek and never watch another horror flick again. He'd try and be a man for tonight, he didn't want to make a fool of himself in front of Rocky, whom he sort of had a bit of crush on, or Ty whom he wanted to impress tonight, or even CeCe who'd probably tell Flynn and they'd both make fun of him for ages. With one last shampoo run, he rinsed off and dried off, pulling his clothes on and gelling his hair in record time.

Walking into his room, he opened the last drawer of his dresser, which revealed a neatly arrayed row of multi-colored headphones for each day of the week. Grabbing the headphones labeled Friday, he grabbed his book bag and ran across the hall to grab a banana and walk to school, pulling on the headphones and blaring music into his ears. I'll make sure I get to thank Ty tonight, he'll have the awesomest day ever! He thought, as he walked to school.

Rocky Blue, CeCe Jones, and Rocky's brother Ty were all gathered around the hallway bench during the half hour span between Breakfast and Third Period. Ty was reading index cards for his next show on Shake it Up, Chicago!, while CeCe was blabbering in Rocky's ear about what not to wear to the movies tonight. The younger Blue fished out her Physics book and closed her locker, gathering the attention of both her brother, and best friend.

"Okay, so I was thinking maybe we can eat something light before the movies, like go to Crusty's and order something for all of us, and then maybe some popcorn at the movies and then we can bake some cookies, cake and brownies for the slumber party!" she said excitedly, earning a soft groan from her older brother.

"Can we please not call it a slumber party?" he retorted, shoving the index cards into his book bag, "Might as well call it a boy-girl party."

"Like you've been to any boy-girl parties." Scoffed Rocky, putting her Physics book into her messenger bag. She earned an angry stare from her brother, and laughed in response high fiving CeCe for her win.

"Hey, I've been to LOTS of Boy-Girl parties!" Ty replied, crossing his arms, and wiping off his leather jacket.

Rocky and CeCe both laughed, and CeCe put her hand on Ty's shoulder, giving him a reassuring smile, "Ty, dear brother .. You and Duece playing video games in the living room and having me and CeCe walk through to the kitchen does not make it a boy-girl party."

"You know what? It looks like someone wants to be cut out of the feature dance this week." Ty said, with a sly smile causing Rocky to sputter.

"Did I mention how much boy-girl parties you've been to this year?" she said, stroking her brother's hair lovingly, owning a one-point win grin from Ty, "Anyway, look we just wanna make Duece happy. He's been going through a really rough time with his and Dina's break up. We should all let him know we're here for him."

CeCe and Ty both exchanged looks of sadness for their friend, while Rocky continued, "I think we should show him how much we care about him, and maybe he'll talk to us, who knows? We should get him to open up tonight, and let everything out that way he won't feel so down by holding so much stress in."

"Rocky, are you sure that's a good idea? I mean, if Duece wanted to speak up, he would I mean since we've known him he hasn't really opened up to us about his problems. He usually keeps to himself." Said CeCe.

"Well, I spoke to him last night, and the whole Dina dating that new guy is what's really getting to him, but for some reason I think there's something else that's bothering him on top of that." Said Ty, "Oh look, here he comes. Let's not make it obvious that we were talking about him."

They all recovered quickly as Duece approached them, a small smile on his lips, but the same sadness in his eyes, as he stopped to see Dina kissing her new boyfriend Christian. Rocky looked back to see the sight he was beholding, and saw the hurt and pain in his now watery-eyes. He began to walk backwards as CeCe and Ty looked at each other in shock, neither seeing Duece this upset before.

"Duece, wait!" Rocky called, but it was too late, the Latino boy had sprinted out of the school, and into the Chicago streets, "Guys I think we should follow him, in this state of mind he can do something he'll regret!"

Both CeCe and Ty nodded in agreement quickly before they began to run after their friend, before CeCe stopped them all. "Zam! I forgot, one of us has to stay behind so it won't be suspicious. Rocky, Ty .. go. It'll seem like a family emergency or something, I'll cover for you. Make sure you find him, and if you don't, text me. I'll call my mother okay?"

Ty and Rocky nodded before heading off into the streets in search of Duece, calling out his name in the process. Luckily, Ty wore some sneakers instead of boots and Rocky had worn some converse instead of heels, or else this job would've been painful to both. Ty caught sight of the city park by their apartment building, and saw Duece sitting on a swing by himself, his head in his hands.

"Rocky, go ahead and get back to school, or if anything go home and stay there. Text CeCe and tell her we found Duece, I'll talk to him. I've got more absences then you do, I don't want you to tarnish your perfect attendance record, go." Said Ty, turning to his sister.

"Are you sure?" she asked one final time, biting her bottom lip. Duece was one of her best friends, and she hated seeing him in such a state. At seeing Ty's stern look, she nodded once before running back to her apartment building.

Ty turned back to his broken friend, and walked towards the swing-set, his feet crunching the icy leaves on the ground. The closer he got, the clearer he heard them, sobs. The light sobs followed by heavy breathing caused Ty's heart to shatter even more.

"Duece?" he called out, but his friend didn't respond, he just kept crying. He laid a hand on Duece's shoulder, gently and affectionately. "Duece .. are you okay buddy?"

"I-I'm s-s-such a p-pathetic p-person .. I-I'm s-so wea-eak." He sobbed, wiping his eyes furiously. Ty felt a lonely tear come out of his left-eye at the sight of his best friend in such pain. He knelt down in front of Duece, and placed a hand on his friend's knee.

"Duece, you are not weak. It hurts, break ups hurt. I've been through it, Rocky's been through it, and even Flynn's been through it. There is absolutely nothing wrong with crying and feeling this way. You're relationship lasted longer than Mine, Rocky's and Flynn's put together, and I know you really loved Dina." Ty said, rubbing the younger boy's thigh, "You're my best friend and seeing you like this .. hurts so much."

Duece sniffled a bit before doing something he hadn't done in a while, he flung himself at Ty, and hugged him tightly, as if his life had depended on it. Ty returned the embrace, while Duece sobbed into his shoulder, while he rubbed a hand through Deuce's hair, mumbling many it's okay's, and some small it'll all get better's.

"Thank you so much Ty, I'm sorry you had to see me like this .." Duece said, sniffling his nose, and wiping the rest of his tears away. "I owe you so much."

"There's no need to thank me man, anything for my bro." Ty replied, holding Duece's shaking cold body, "Now come on, let's get you home okay?"

Duece quietly nodded, and they both got up to walk the younger Latino home, the two making idle chat on the way, and Ty making Duece laugh for the first time that day. When they reached the apartment building, the older male walked his friend to the door before saying goodbye and hugging once more. This time, Duece didn't want to let go, savoring the moment as he held Ty around his neck, and as the taller boy held him at this waist. I just .. don't wanna let go, this feels so sickeningly right, and so very wrong at the same time, he thought to himself as he finally let go.

"I'll see you at eight alright Duece? Please, be careful." Said Ty before leaving his best friend at his home.

Duece resisted holding Ty in his arms again, and closed the door, sliding down and smacking a hand to his forehead as he realized, I like Ty.

Rocky closed the door behind her, and flopped down onto her couch with a feeling in the pit of her stomach. Seeing Duece so hurt, and so broken because of Dina's new found love made her furious, but sad at the same time. Duece had been in her life for as long as she could remember when Ty first came home from playing with Duece on the first day he and Ty had met. It sucked because she was close to Dina, but also close to her friend, and she felt the compelling need to tell Dina off but couldn't. After texting CeCe, she laid down on the sofa and turned on the television, watching one of the earlier Shake it Up, Chicago! Re-runs.

The front door opened, and Ty walked in, apparently freezing from the cold weather. She launched herself up from the sofa, earning a headache in return and ran to hug her brother. "Ty, you're freezing! Is everything okay?" she asked, grabbing a blanket from the hall closet and rushing it to her brother.

"Yeah, everything's alright .. Duece'll be fine. He was just upset about being weak for crying over Dina. Hey Rocky, can I ask you something? Older brother to Younger Sib?" he said.

"Ty, of course." She said smiling, and rubbing his back.

"Do you think that Dina is doing this on purpose?" he asked, "Like to hurt Duece more?"

"Huh." Rocky said, raising an eyebrow, "I hadn't really thought about it like that, and now that you mention it, it is pretty strange that her and Duece break up and two weeks later she has a new boyfriend."

"One more question?" Ty asked.

"Penny for your thoughts, big bro." she replied, leaning to lay on his shoulder.

"Do you think he'll be okay? I've never seen him cry like that before. I mean, I've never seen him cry period, and he just looked so broken, and so fragile .." he said, trailing off.

"Ty, I can assure you that Duece will be okay, you're a good best friend and now he knows that you're there for him. Did you know he actually thought you were fading from him?"

"Really?" he asked.

"Yeah, I guess since he's always working at Crusty's and you're doing the show, you guys just don't have much time for each other anymore." She stated with a frown.

"Wow .. I hadn't seen it that way, but I mean in school we always chill right?" he asked, trying not to sound like a bad friend.

"Yeah, I mean in between classes that's about it." She said softly, "But hey, at least you guys get to make up for time lost tonight right?"

"Yeah, I guess you're right. Thanks Rocky." He smiled, hugging his baby sister.

At the movie theatre, all four teens gathered around the ticket booth with their snacks in hand. They each made their way into the screening room, and sat down in the fifth row, Duece next to Ty, and CeCe next to Rocky about three seats or so down. The theatre lights dimmed a bit, and the movie began to play.

Duece was extremely nervous, his heart beating at the loud thundering build up sounds of suspense coming from the loud speakers mounted on the walls. The opening scene showed multiple death scenes from the original 1973 version of The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, converted into 3D for a rundown of what happened. On the screen, a young woman was walking toward the house, when a maniac in a mask made of human skin appeared at the door and dragged her in, causing Duece to jump and spill some popcorn, mentally cursing himself for letting out a squeak of terror.

Ty looked at him with concern, and when Duece smiled, so did Ty and both began to continue to watch the movie. Another scene of mayhem flashed before his eyes as the maniac from before was wielding a chainsaw and chasing a blonde woman down a road as another man that was chasing her got run over by a truck. Duece jumped again, and clenched his chest as his heart began beating faster. Oh for the love of Pepperoni, title hasn't even come up yet and I'm already scared, he thought. He felt someone touch his hand jumped in surprise, then looked to his left to see that Ty had held his hand, and intertwined their fingers, stroking Duece's hand with his thumb. For some odd reason, Duece relaxed himself, and was able to watch the movie with no fear.

As the movie ended, with the main actress taking care of her maniac cousin, the lights began to turn on, and Duece separated his hand from Ty's, feeling a cold breeze afterwards. He wasn't sure what kept him leveled throughout the movie, the loving feeling of Ty holding his hand, or not wanting to embarrass himself in front of his friends. He shrugged off the feeling, and followed his friends into the lobby, as they all chattered on about the film.

"Trey Songz, cannot act. I mean, if you're an R&B singer, why would you pick a horror movie to be your film debut?" questioned Rocky as they walked out into the cold Chicago air.

"The acting? Have you seen the wardrobe they used? It was fashion suicide!" exclaimed CeCe, throwing her hands in the air.

"It was alright, kind of boring if you ask me. I prefer the version with Jessica Biel." Said Ty, as he shoved his hands in his pockets to keep from being cold.

"Am I the only sane person here that thought it was creepy?" asked Duece, shivering from the cold. Ty shuffled closer to Duece, and walked side by side with him, making sure their bodies touched, his warmth radiating through Duece and making his heart tingle.

"Duece, you cried for a week when I scared you in my zombie prom queen costume for the Halloween dance at school." Said CeCe, chuckling in response. Her designer heels clicked against the floor, and she stopped suddenly. "Oh no, Popcorn breath! Gum everyone!" she yelled, taking out a pack of gum and handing a piece to each teen.

"Anyway," Rocky started, "What should we do first for this sleepover thing? Truth or Dare, bake stuff, watch some more movies?"

"Oh, oh! Truth or Dare, Truth or Dare!" yelled CeCe, jumping up and down in excitement. The two girls carried on about how far to go for the dares, as Ty held Duece back to let the others walk.

"Let them babble on about their game." He chuckled, before turning back to his friend, "How are you feeling?"

"I'm doing okay I guess, just glad I'm here with you, CeCe and Rocky to get my mind off of it." Duece said, before continuing, "Ty, about before .. I'm sorry about being so sentimental .. I actually never saw Dina kiss her new boyfriend before .. and I guess it was all just so overwhelming."

"Dude, you need to stop apologizing for that. It was nothing, alright? You're entitled to be upset, it happens man." Ty said, hugging his friend before realizing, "Duece, I'm sorry for not being able to spend time with you lately, I mean I've been hosting the show, and applying for schools and just .. I'm sorry for not seeing you like this earlier."

Duece squeezed Ty's waist, "It's okay. I have you now, don't I?"

"No, you have me forever." He replied, squeezing Duece tighter.

After about two hours of truth or dare, brownies, cake, cookies and hide and seek, Rocky and CeCe had knocked out on the couch, and Ty and Duece were watching some cartoons in Ty's room. They were both laying down on the bed side by side, with Duece occasionally drifting off to sleep.

"You okay bro?" asked Ty, seeing Duece's head fall slightly to the side.

"Yeah, I'm just super tired. I'm gonna go make a little bed in the living room." He said, getting up before being stopped by Ty. "What's wrong?"

"Duece, I'm not letting you sleep on the floor. Just stay here with me." He said, smiling.

"With you? On your bed? Next to you?" stammered Duece.

"Yeah, I mean I'm fine with it, you're like my brother." Said Ty, before flipping off the covers and getting under them. Duece mimicked Ty and began to fall asleep cuddled up next to his best friend, "Goodnight .. Best friend." He heard Ty murmur, before beginning to dream.

Dream Sequence:

Duece was pushed away roughly by Ty, falling onto the sofa and hurting his arm in the process. He looked up at his once best friend, and he teared, seeing the animosity in Ty's eyes. Ty began to back away, and the fury that coursed itself through his veins wanted to hit the Latino even more, if it weren't for Rocky and CeCe stopping him.

"Ty .. Please, I'm sorry .." he said through broken sobs and a scarred heart, but his damaged state only made Ty even more malicious.

"Save it! How could you? How could you possibly feel that way about me? You were my best friend! That-That's just wrong!" he yelled, balling his hands into fists and walking towards Duece to assault him.

"Ty no! Stop!" yelled a small voice, as Flynn blocked the pathway to get to Duece, "Ty, please calm down, you're scaring everybody!"

"Get out of my way Flynn!" Ty screamed, pushing Flynn aside, causing the eleven year old to hit his head on the fireplace of the Jones home.

"Oh my god, Flynn! Flynn are you okay?" yelled CeCe, as she rushed to his aide. Rocky stood in front of her brother, with arms outstretched, protecting Duece.

"Ty, STOP! If you wanna hit him, you have to go through me!" she shrieked, just as Georgia Jones rushed into the living room.

"What's going on here!?" she yelled, "Oh no, Flynn! Flynn are you okay!?"

She rushed to Flynn and CeCe's side as Ty advanced towards Rocky. "You're gonna protect that, that THING, over your own brother!?" he all but shrieked.

"Ty, it's not that serious! Calm down, please! Don't hurt him!" she yelled, stomping her feet and blocking him from hitting the crying teen on the couch.

Ty grabbed Rocky by her hair, and threw her towards the wall, where she was knocked unconscious, a small trickle of blood making its way down her forehead. Georgia screamed in shock as she grabbed Ty by his shoulders and threw him against the wall. "Ty Blue! You're under arrest for the assault of two minors, and the attempted assault of another minor. How could you do this Ty!?"

"You see Duece? You see what you caused!? I'm going to jail because of you! I hate you, I hate you, I hate you!" he screamed and kicked, spitting his venomous words out at the young Cuban, "I COULD NEVER LOVE YOU!"

End of Dream

"Duece .. Duece, wake up! Duece!" he heard a voice whisper, as he continued to cry in his sleep, "Duece! It's Rocky, you're crying in your sleep, wake up before you wake up Ty!"

Duece opened his tear stained eyes, as he looked up at Rocky, who had a look of worry in her eyes. He checked the time on Ty's clock that was mounted on the dresser, and he saw that it read three thirty in the morning. He groaned and sat up, wiping away the tears in his eyes.

"Duece, come with me to the kitchen so we can talk. I'll pour us some milk and we can eat the rest of the brownies okay?" Rocky said before leaving the room.

Duece got up, and stumbled his way into the kitchen on the count of his blurry eyed vision. There he saw Rocky pouring two glasses of milk, and the platter of brownies on the table. He took a seat, and wiped his eyes away, clearing the muck of left over tears. Rocky set his glass down in front of him, and took a seat across.

"Duece, what was that? I got up to use the bathroom and I heard you crying, I thought maybe Ty hurt you or something." She said, as his heart sank at her words, remembering the dream he had.

"Just a bad dream is all, I'm sorry to worry you." He replied, taking a swig of his milk, and a bite of his brownie.

"Was it about Dina?" she asked, full sympathy in both her eyes and tone.

"No, it was about .." he started before pausing, wondering if he should tell Rocky about the dream. She seemed to notice his pause.

"Duece, it's okay. Whatever it is, you can tell me. I'm here to help you, I hate seeing you this way." She replied, "I feel like I'm failing you as a friend, and seeing you this upset breaks my heart because I know how you feel."

"Rocky, you could never fail me as a friend, and you know what? Logan didn't deserve you at all. You were too good for that jerk anyway." He said, scoffing.

Rocky smiled and blushed, "Thanks Duece, so what was the dream about?"

"It was about .. Ty." He said, sighing and preparing himself for the outrage he thought he was going to receive.

"Oh, what about Ty?" she asked, complete care in her voice.

"He .. He hurt me, you .. and Flynn." He said, voice low.

Rocky burrowed her brow in confusion, and saw the fear of the dream in Duece's eyes, and how by him talking about it, he looked as if he'd been stricken across the face. "Duece. This dream really upset you, why would Ty hurt you? Or Me? Or even Flynn?"

"Because I told him .. I told him .." he murmured, his breath shorting out as he wheezed from the nerves. He was about to tell Rocky his hugest revelation, which he wasn't all too sure of himself.

"Duece, Duece calm down. Breathe!" Rocky said, as she rushed to his side, and helped him breathe.

"Rocky … I'm in love with Ty." He blurted out, covering his face in shame.

"It was about time you figured it out." She said, rubbing small circles into his back, "Is that what the dream was about? You told Ty how you felt and he reacted badly?"

"Y-You know? And yes, that was the dream. He went to hit me, and you and Flynn blocked his way to protect me, so he hurt you guys too, then Mrs. Jones arrested him." He said.

"Of course I knew Duece, we both grew up together, and in case you haven't noticed, I'm really perceptive about things. I've watched you and Ty grow up, and go through so much stuff it was bound to happen. I mean, I can't exactly tell you if Ty feels the same way, that's something you'd have to figure out on your own." She said, smiling.

"Thanks Rocky, you really are a great friend. I'm so glad to have you in my life right now. It's good someone knows that way I can talk to them about it now." Duece said.

"Of course, you know you can come to me for anything." She replied, stroking his hair, "Sheesh, you use a lot of Gel."

Duece laughed, and so did she. "Thank you Rocky, I'm gonna go head to bed before Ty wakes up and thinks I ran away again."

"Alright, night Duece. Sweet Dreams." She said, before he left the kitchen.

"Hopefully." He muttered under his breath.

A/N: PHEW! That was a chapter lol. I wanted to add some good chemistry between Rocky and Duece, indicating that they too have a friendship that no one else would ever relate to. I also wanted to expand on Ty & Rocky's sibling relationship. Anyway, I hope you liked the fluff, the film, the Tyce moments and I hope you don't hate me for the dream .. which might not be a dream .. who knows in my world? Lol.
