Hello, and welcome back to the future! It's nice to see you again! Sorry that I'm a bit late with the update but I've been busy. I promise though that I will try to update this story and my other stories when I get the chance! I also am having a bit of writer's block on this story. I know how I'm ending it, but I still needed to know how to get to that point, so it took me a long time to think about what to put in this chapter. So I am sorry if it will be a bit dull and maybe short, but I promise that this story does get better. And remember to post more reviews so I can know if you guys want me to continue! Well, here's chapter four! I hope you guys enjoy it!
Rocky point of view
Well, I just hung up the phone after calling the hundredth person that I know who could possibly do the dance with us. You probably already know what his answer was. Just in case, it was no. Well this is perfect! We have no lead dancer for the performance! And the show is tomorrow! I got up out of my chair and walked over to Cece, who was watching tv in the other room of her apartment. I was visiting over while Logan and L.J went out for lunch.
"Well I made the last call, and we have nobody to replace John!" I said in an annoyed tone.
Cece paused the tv, and turned to me.
"But the show is tomorrow!" She said. "What are we going to do!"
"I don't know!" I said. "But from the looks of things, we might have to do the dance with only two lead dancers."
"What! That's ridiculous! If we take away the third dancer, the dance will look so... different. And not in a good way!" She pointed out.
"I know! But Cece, we tried everything! There's nothing else we can do!" I said
"Yeah your right." She said a bit upset. "The show must go on right?"
"Yeah." I said, also a bit upset. "But without John the dance is kind of off."
"Kind of off?" Cece said giving me a look. "The main part of the big performance is the three main dancers and the way they blend in with the music. Without John, were A LOT off!"
"I know!" I said "And I can't believe this had to happen when the whole gang comes all the way from Chicago and San Diego to see us in the show!"
"Exactly!" She agreed "Not to mention, it's supposed to be a full house tomorrow! The tickets were sold out!"
"Seriously!" I yelled, now very frustrated. "Ugh! I can't believe this is happening! Can this get any worse?"
Just than the phone rang. Cece got up and picked it up.
"Hello?... Oh hey Samantha!… Really?" I noticed she was trying to say it as if she was happy though I can clearly see how frustrated she is. "Oh okay! Thanks for telling me, Samantha! Bye!" Then she hung up and turned to me. "Well, it looks like it CAN get worse!"
"Why? What did she say?" I asked
"Well you know Samantha Knight? Who plays Gloria, my character's cousin from New Mexico?" Cece asked.
"Yeah what about her?" I asked
"Well, her brother writes the New York Times paper. And apparently he found out that one of the people who bought one of the tickets is Spencer McCann!"
"Who's Spencer McCann?" I ask
"Who is Spencer McCann?" She said with a 'are you kidding me' tone. "He happens to be one of the most popular critics in the state of New York. Everybody in the city reads his blogs and hears his opinion."
"So what I'm hearing is, he's like Andy Burns except he doesn't use his stories as a way to get even?" I ask
"Exactly!" Cece exclaimed. "But he is also pretty strict when it comes to entertainment."
"So wait." I said "If he is strict about this type of stuff, and we give a bad performance because of John's leg-"
"He'll give us a bad review and we will never get a full house ever again!" Cece said while falling back on the couch.
No way! Why is this all happening now! If we get a bad review from one of the biggest entertainment critics in New York, our careers will be over! This can't be happening!
"So what are we going to do?" I asked, pretty scared on the inside.
"There's nothing we can do, Rocky." She says in a low voice. "The only thing we can hope for now is that somebody can step in for our third lead dancer at last minute. If not, we'll have to do it with two. There's just nothing else we can do."
I just looked at the ground, thinking to myself that Cece has probably never been more right about anything in her life. This was going to be a disaster. I can just feel it.
Deuce point of view
"Your kidding me!" I yelled through the phone. I was talking to Rocky and she told me everything that was going on. The no substitute dancer, the full house, and of course, the critic. Things were not looking good for "A Tail of Two BFFs".
"I know right!" She yelled back. "And the show is tomorrow!"
"So what are you guys going to do?"
"We decided that we would just perform and hope for the best. The show must go on, right?"
"Right. Well don't worry. I'm sure everything will work out." I assured her.
"Thanks Deuce. Well I got to go. So I'll see you guys tomorrow!"
"Bye Rocky!" I said before I hung up. Wow. This show is a bigger disaster than when Rocky and Cece fought at the high school reunion and refused to dance with each other. I really hope things will somehow work itself out. I really care about those girls, and I would hate to see them like this.
"What did she say?" Dina asked, who was sitting on the other side of the couch, while Erica sat on the ground, watching tv.
"Bad news. They weren't able to get a new dancer. And it's supposed to be a full house." I said.
"What? But the show is tomorrow!" She said in a worried voice.
"I know! And Spencer McCann is going to be there."
"Spencer McCann? THE Spencer McCann? As in the critic?" She asked.
"Unfortunately, yes." I responded. "Rocky said that unless they can get a new dancer on time, they will have to do it with only two dancers."
"I saw them rehearse, and I don't think it will look as good with only two lead dancers." She said.
"Yeah that's what I thought." I said. "I don't know how this is going to work out."
"I'm sure everything will be alright." Dina said.
"Well we'll just have to wait, and see what happens." I said
Later, I called Ty and told him everything. He seemed just as upset and worried as the rest of us. Ty also had to tell Tinka, and she was pretty worried too. We all just decided to have room service for dinner that night. We all went to bed kind of early, everybody scared of what tomorrow will bring.
There's chapter four! I know that this chapter is really dull and really short and I am REALLY sorry! I kind of rushed through this chapter, because I'm really tired and I need to finish this now. But I do promise you, the next chapter will DEFINITELY be better! I PROMISE that! Well, be sure to send reviews and let me know if I should continue. Once again, I'm REALLY sorry about this being a pretty bad chapter, but I promise that it WILL get better! So please don't leave me! Anyways, it's time for you to go back about two centuries to your own time period. I'll see you guys next time! Bye!
