(A/N: LET THE DANCING COMMENCE! I DON'T OWN B-A-G 1/2)

When I woke up it was around 12:30. I yawned loudly as I got up. I looked over to the other bed…no Strike. "Thank goodness." I walked out, down the hallway and into the living room. Pinky sat on one of the couches.

"Hey Pinky."

"Mornin' Suge…" She said in an annoyed voice.

"What's wrong? And what are you doing out here?"

"Strike came into the room to talk to Frida and started insulting me, so we got into a heated argument, and I just left."

I shook my head. "What does Frida see in him?"

"I don't know suge, but I know he's been walking on thin ice since he got here."

I laughed. "So you ready for the tournament?"

"Well you know suge I don't really feel the same way about dancing like I used to."

"Oh Come on Pinky…you're great at dancing."

"Thanks suge…I guess you're right."

"Good. Oh and don't let Strike push you around." Pinky smiled and winked at me. "I'm not gonna let him push me around." She said standing up.

"That a girl." I said as she walked past me, down the long hallway and into her room. I walked over to Kitty's room. I knocked on it gently and opened it, poking my head through. I looked at Kitty on the right who was going over her dance moves. She looked at me and smiled. She motioned for me to come in. I walked in all the way and shut the door behind me. "Soooo…I heard about what happened this morning." I looked at her and blushed. She squealed quietly, as not to wake up Nazuma.

"I knew it!"

"Wait…how did you…"

"She walked out around three and then came back around five. And when I asked her where she went…she smiled and replied:'Oh…nowhere…I was staring out at the moon, and…spoke to a friend.' Then she walked over to her bed rolled over onto her side and fell asleep...You kissed her didn't you?"

"Yeah…"

"Well it's about time. So are you ready for the tournament?"

"Hell yeah…I couldn't wait for it."

Nazuma moaned, rolled over to her stomach and stretched, slowly moving her perfect ass into the air with her tail wagging. Then she swayed from left to right and then arched forward. She purred softly as she rolled over onto her side. "Good morning Kitty…" She said before yawning quietly. "Morning, Sleepy head." I quietly walked over to her bed and sat down beside her. "Morning, Nazuma…" I whispered. She looked up at me and smiled.

"Heat-kun…Good morning. What are you doing here?"

"I came to see you…" I said as I put my hand on her head. She blushed and Kitty giggled. "I'm so nervous…" She said trying to conceal her feelings of concern. "Don't be…you'll do great." I said lightly kissing her forehead. "You think we should wake Shorty? I mean she never said when the tournament would start." "That's true…Yeah let's go." Nazuma replied as she sat up. All three of us walked out of the room. We walked down the hallway looking for Shorty's room. As we passed Pinky's room we heard several "Yo!"s, thuds and arguing.

Strike doesn't know when to give up does he?

We walked down to Shorty's room and tapped on it. Shorty opened the door with her hair flying everywhere. She had bags under her eyes and her long t-shirt was disheveled and hanging off of her shoulder. "What the hell happened to you?" "Damn…aliens…wouldn't…go to sleep. They kept asking me to dance all night…" I laughed uncontrollably as she jumped up once allowing a huge ass cake to fall on my head. Kitty and Nazuma sighed as the cake disappeared and they helped me up. "We were wondering what time the tournament was…" "1:00..." She said quickly before slamming the door shut. We looked at each other, shrugged and walked back to their room. We talked for a few and then walked to the living room. Everyone was already there talking and a few complaining. Then Shorty came out, looking normal and taped up a piece of paper on the wall. "Alright guys! Here's the pairings!" She said moving away from the paper as we crowded over the paper.
Shorty---------Gas-O
Pinky----------Heat
Nazuma-------Kitty-N
Strike----------Comet
Bi-O-----------Frida
Kelly----------Hiro
Columbo-----Capoeira
I looked at Pinky who winked at me. And then I looked over at Nazuma. She was so pale…the color completely drained from her face. She looked apprehensive and worried with her fingers in front of her lips. I walked over to her.

"You okay?"

"I don't know if I can do this. I mean Kitty's so good, how can I compete with her?"

"You always think too little of yourself…Nazuma you need to believe in yourself."

"I know…"

"You'll do fine, Nazuma. I know you will." I said gently kissing her. Her eyes shone brightly. "Thanks Heat-kun. I'll do my best." Kitty came from behind her.

"Hey Nazuma! So it looks like we're up against each other, huh?"

"Y-yeah…I cant wait." She said as Kitty walked away. Nazuma excused herself and went down the hallway into a room.

Shorty asked for attention. "Ok! Lets get this going!" Colorful lights flickered and all of the furniture moved to the back of the huge living room. The judges were set up at a table and everything. Shorty hopped up to the front of the living room and Gas-O soon followed. Columbo ran up to the stereo system, while Capoeira was to keep track of who lost and who won and then help decide who went up against who in the next round. Columbo pressed play and Frida's song came on: Sora to Umi to Niji no Yume(Dreams of skies, seas and rainbows). Shorty started with her older Candy Hip-hop moves and Gas-O started off with some new break dancing moves. During the song Nazuma came back wearing a loose halter top and short, tight shorts. When the song was almost over, Gas-O decided to attack, and Shorty was too involved in the music to notice. The large test tube dropped on her and she stayed trapped for the last few seconds of the song. We all looked at the judges who discussed among each other. "Gas-O…wins!" Everyone cheered as he screamed out "Yee-haw!"

I knew it was my turn next. I looked at Nazuma. She smiled and kissed my cheek. "Good Luck." "Thanks…" I said before getting to the front of the living room. Pinky wasn't too far behind. I looked at her before the music started and she nodded and smiled. Capoeira's first song came on and I was so zoned into the music I tuned out everything except for Pinky, just in case. I did swipes and flares and worms, pulling myself into impossible bridges and split like moves. There was no stopping me from going towards windmills and handsprings and a few up rock moves. During the solo I glanced at Pinky who was doing her 70's Motown dancing, but then she started doing some 80's kinda moves. I stuck to my dancing style, doing a few turtles and spun on my head. The song ended as I took a pose. I broke out of my pose and waited for the judges. "Heat…wins!" I was so happy, I did a back flip and stuck my finger and my thumb out into the air in the shape of an "L" "You just got whooped!"
I walked over to Nazuma who hugged me tightly.

"Heat-kun, you were great!"

"Well its all thanks to you."

"Nope…all I did was teach you. It was you, who brought the dancing to life." She said softly. Then something struck her. It was her turn to go up. Her face drained.

"Hey don't sweat it…you'll do great."

"I-I hope so…"

"Good Luck, Nazuma." I said before briefly kissing her soft lips. She smiled and whispered "Thanks…I'll need it." She walked up to the front with Kitty. It got really quiet and we waited for the music for start…to see Nazuma dance.
