We were all in our dressing room, sitting in front of a mirror, preparing ourselves for dance class. I sat between Blondie and my sis; it was a little awkward because Sweat-Pea and I hadn't really spoken since I told her I wanted to run away with Amber and Babydoll to freedom. I really wanted her to get on board! She already wasn't talking to me so I decided to bring up the topic again. What did I have to lose?

"What if it's a good plan?" I asked.

"Then she can go through with it. I'm not letting you get hurt! I've kept us safe through a lot of shit…"

"I know you have, but I'm not gona get hurt. I just can't… be here… anymore… And if it is a good plan, we're both going…"

"No we're not! You're on your own." I fought back the tears that threatened to roll down my cheeks. There was a long pause before I spoke again. I let out a short chuckle.

"I have been on my own before." She chuckled too; not a good chuckle either.

"Sure you have… Look where that got us!" That hit home hard. I had to get Sweat-Pea on our side. I took in a deep breath before continuing.

"Baby saved me from the cook the other day…" This took her aback.

"What!" She was shocked.

"I was working in the kitchen, and he comes in behind me, and then he pushes me down. And he gets on top of me and I can't even move…" The tears were close to falling so I chuckled.

"And there she was, just like that." I snap my fingers to make a point.

"She had a knife to his throat! She saved me…"

That's when she got there, as if on cue. Baby and my sis looked at each other, Baby knew we had won. She walked up to a chalk board that hung on the wall, saying who was in the dressing room. She turned it so that the blank black back showed. She took the piece of chalk and wrote on it. Everything about her was beautiful, even her handwriting. There were five words, Map, Fire, Knife, and Key. Amber and Blondie got up to get a better look.

"The high roller comes to get me in three days, but I'm getting out of here before he does. So, if you guys want to come with me, this is how I plan to do it." There was a pause and Sweat-Pea looked at me, I gave her one of those looks that told her that she better agree with Baby. She turned back to Babydoll.

"Well?" My heart leapt.

"Ok, if we can collect all four of these items, we'll be free."

"Ok! How do we use them?" I got up. I wanted to show Babydoll how much I believed in her.

"First things first, how do you plan on getting these thing?" Sweat-Pea demanded.

"Whoever has the item we need, we get them to watch me dance." Sweat-Pea said something. In my mind it came out like 'Blah, blah, blah..' I wanted to have those items just to give me an excuse to watch her dance. I snapped back to reality when Baby spoke.

"Yeah, that's right." She was so calm and sure that her plan would work and didn't seem to care what my sister thought about it.

"But we'd be talking all the risk; we'd be doing all the work while you prance around with a perfect alibi!"

"No, as long as I'm dancing, they won't even know you're there." She was right, Sweat-Pea sat down.

"Ok, so the first thing we need is a map. To figure out where all the exits are, where the guards are located…"

"Blue has that in his office, it's behind his desk!" I wanted to sound enthusiastic, Baby smiled.

"Right, good. Second, we need something to start a fire with, as a distraction for when we escape. Plus, the fire should disable all the check points. And the third thing we need is a knife. In case we run into any trouble." She looked at me to see if I was ok, because she knew just as well as I did…

"The cook…" I took in a deep breath. "I can do it."

"Ok. The last thing is a key."

"Blue wears a key around his neck." Piped in Blondie.

"What door does it open?"

"All of them I think. It's a master key."

"This plan is crazy. There's armed guard at every door, ok? It's not gona be 'Oh, sorry Blue, we won't do it again' because we'll be dead!" I wanted to scream at her, but I didn't.

"We're already dead." I said, and it was true. Everyone knew it too. She took in a deep breath.

"I'm in." Amber said, damn she was first.

"So am I." Said Blondie.

"Me too!" Dams it, I was third! Sweat-Pea took in a deep breath.

"Alright." Everyone got excited.

"But I'm only doing it because you guys would get caught without me, ok? And if it gets too hairy, if I say it's over, we stop."

"Ok." Everyone was happy.

"I'll get the map." She got up and scratched it out; the bell rang.

When Sweat-Pea left, I went up to Babydoll and kissed her, right in front of the other two. She went rigid with shock, but soon relaxed as our lips started to move together. She opened her mouth and our tongues battled for dominance, I won, and she gasped. I pulled away and she whimpered. Her lips were red and puffy from the kiss. I put my mouth next to her ear and bit her earlobe.

"Do good and I might give you a prize." I held her up as her legs went rigid.

"So hot!" Said Amber, she was like a peeping tom. Blondie nudged her in her ribs.

"Oh shut it Amber, leave 'em alone." She said. They walked out.

"You have to admit it's hot."

"Yeah, but you know…" I didn't hear the rest.

"By the end, I better need someone to hold me back so that I don't jump you." I said, leaving the room, making sure that my hips swayed more than usual. I swore I heard her gasp.

I stared at her; she stared at me, my breath was heavy. The way she swayed made me know that this was going to be hot. If I thought the last dance was hot, this one would catch the room on fire! Half the time she looked in my direction, gasping, moaning, and doing other things that made my legs week. When I thought I couldn't take it anymore, she looked at me with hungry eyes; it made my breath catch. Amber pulled me out of the room.

"Are you ok? You looked like you were going to collapse!" My breath was low and heavy.

"I need water." She went back in and came out with a cup of water in her hand; she gave it to me.

"She's too good at what she does!" I said in a low voice.

"I know, I swear I saw Blue put his hand down his pants…" I closed my eyes.

"Didn't need to know that!" The song started to end.

"Come on, let's go back in, it's almost over." I nodded and fallowed her in. We went in just in time to see her last move. I went up to her and pressed my forehead against hers. I wanted to kiss so badly. Sweat-Pea stepped inside the rehearsal room.

"Got it." She laughed, we all did. Why? I have no idea. Baby went to fetch her sweater and I fallowed. It had come off some-time during the dance.

We both crouched down against the wall, waiting for Madame's dismissal of class.

"Big show girls!" Clapped Blue, he seemed REALLY happy. Baby put on her remaining clothing.

"Thank you."

"For what?" Everything… You...

"The cook!"

"That was nothing." She blushed slightly.

"Shut up! No one takes a risk for anyone in here! So thank you." I wanted to kiss her sooo badly. The need to feel her lips against mine intensified.

"You're welcome." I sat.

"You've got family?"

"No…" Damn it, I made her sad!

"Oh, that's right. I forgot: you're an orphan." Stupid, stupid, stupid! "I ran away from mine. I thought I was pretty smart at the time. Sweat-Pea fallowed, which is crazy! She never even had a real problem with mom and dad!" Babydoll was looking at me with beautiful eyes, she looked amazing. I had to look away.

"She scares about you a lot." I nodded and bit my lip, remembering what had happened. The knife…

"Have you ever just wanted to take something back? You know, something you said, something you did?" It took her a bit to answer.

"All the time…" What was she thinking about? Was it us? Did she regret us? I needed to know. I held her hand.

"I've got to show you something."

A.N. I'm really sorry for the late update! It's just hard to write based on a movie especially if you want it word for word like I do because it's really long. (I've seen Sucker Punch at least 100 times now, no exaggerations). Hope you liked it! Next one will be out in a week (lemon and hurt/comfort).
