Once Upon A Dream

Okay all you Moose lovers you're going to love this chapter because it is dedicated entirely to Moose! Yep we're gonna take a look at how Moose and Sophie's date went and all that. No Chase and Andie, well Moose might think about them from time to time but this one focuses completely on Moose and Sophie. Just because I think we need one more fluff chapter before things get really bad.

A/N-This one is named after a group called No Secrets and their version of "Once Upon A Dream" from Disneymania 1.

Disclaimer-Don't own Step Up 2, if I did Rob Hoffman would be mine.

"But mom, this is a once in a lifetime ordeal here!" Moose yelled following his mother into their newly furnished kitchen. "This is the only chance I've got to take the girl of my DREAMS out on a date! Why can't I use the car?"

Moose watched his mother put away the few dishes that were drying in the sink. He was nearly a foot taller than her but if she got mad Moose would glad run and hide. His father was the same way, except he could still see over Moose's head and he wasn't as strict as Moose's mother.

"Because Robert—." Moose cringed at his real name. "You're father and I have plans this evening."

Moose sighed,

"Can you move your plans around?" He asked, his mother sighed before shrugging her shoulders and pointing to the spiral staircase.

"Go ask your father, see what he says."

Moose didn't waste anytime in racing out of the kitchen and up to the second floor of the house. He traveled down the long hall way, as he passed his twin cousins, Jared and Gareth's rooms he waved and they waved back. Moose knocked on the last door on the right at the end of the hall.

"Come in."

Pushing on the shiny oak Moose scrambled into his father's study.

"Robert, what is it?" His father was seated behind his desk like always. His big hands clasped together neatly on top of a think stack of papers.

"Dad, you and Mom have plans tonight right?" Moose asked quickly, when his father nodded he went on. "Well so do I and I need the car as well."

"Robert—." Moose held up his hands to stop him.

"Now before you say no just hear me out." Moose took hold of the back of the wooden chair on his side of his fathers' desk and swung it around to sit backwards in it.

"Okay," His father said calmly. "I'm listening."

"Okay, there's this girl. Her name's Sophie and Dad she's wonderful! I mean she's smart, funny, and cute. You remember when I went to the streets and we won? Well afterwards she came up to me and kissed me. And then yesterday I asked her out and she said yes, so dad, please, please can I use the car?"

Moose was no longer sitting in his seat, he was leaning across his fathers' desk and they were nearly nose to nose.

"Okay, okay Robert, I'll cut you a deal." Moose sat back down and looked at his father hopefully. "If you drive your mother and I to the restaurant we're headed to then you can take the car with you on your date."

"YES!" Moose pumped his fists into the air and zoomed out of the study but not before calling over his shoulder. "Thanks dad!"

In his room Moose rummaged through pile after pile of clothes until he found something that looked nice and was clean. Glancing at the clock on his way out he took notice that he only had thirty minutes to get ready.

After a very quick shower, Moose yanked on a pair of baggy blue jeans on and a green t-shirt over his head. Then he ran a comb through his curly hair before putting on a black skill cap. Tugging on his tennis shoes as he wobbled down the stairs nearly made Moose fall face first into the floor but he managed to catch himself before any damage was done.

"Whoa, whoa slow down you're going to hurt yourself son."

Moose nodded as he tied his shoe, picking up the keys out of the fish bowl he twirled them on his finger before smiling at his parents.

"Come on let's go!"

Sophie had nothing to wear. She'd been through her entire closet and still had nothing to wear. Moose was going to be there in an hour and she still had to take a shower and do her hair.

"MOM!" Sophie hurried down the stairs to find her mother in the kitchen with their maid Maria.

"What's the matter Sophie, darling?"

"Mommy, I don't have anything to wear!" Sophie didn't care if she sounded like a five year old. She'd been waiting since the streets competition for Moose to ask her out and now she didn't have anything to wear!

"Shh, come on darling let's go up to my room and we'll fine you something to wear." Taking her mothers' hand Sophie followed her up to her large room.

"Now you take a seat on my bed and I'll find you something very nice to wear."

Doing as she was told Sophie watched her mother disappear inside her closet. As she waited Sophie's thoughts wondered to the butterflies in her stomach. She was nervous about going to dinner and a movie with Moose. This didn't happen on her first date with Chase, so why was it happening now?

Sophie supposed she really liked Moose, even if he was kind of a dork. He was funny and made her laugh and that as all Sophie cared about. It also didn't hurt that he was an extremely cute and could dance.

"Here we are," Sophie's mother reappeared holding a light blue dress. It stopped just under Sophie's knee with straps that rested on the side of Sophie's shoulders and a diamond shape cut out of the top of the chest.

"It's beautiful." Sophie whispered taking the dress from her mother. "Thank you mom."

"You're welcome. Now go hurry and change."

With a slight squeal of joy Sophie raced from the room.

"Sophie, where are you going?" Eliza, Sophie's six year old sister asked.

"I've got a date tonight Liza." Sophie explained.

"With who?" Eliza asked curiously sitting on Sophie's bed.

"This guy named Moose." Sophie smiled when her little sister giggled.

"His name is Moose?"

Sophie nodded and ruffled her sisters curly hair,

"It's a nickname,"

"Oh so what's his real name?"

Sophie frowned, she didn't realize that she didn't know Moose's real name. That would be something she'd have to find out tonight.

"I don't know Liza but I'm going to find out tonight." Sophie then left her room to shower and get ready.

By the time she had actually showered, changed, put on makeup and put on her shoes, she only had fifteen minutes left. Rushing into her room Sophie pulled in her curling iron before heading over to her drawer and grabbing a comb, a brush, the jar of grease and a black hair tie.

After ten minutes of curling her hair, Sophie brushed it into a ponytail and curled the tail part even more. Then she curled her bangs before unplugging the iron and rushing down the stairs.

Sophie opened the door the moment Moose pulled into the drive way in a dark blue Mercedes.

"By mom!" Sophie called over her shoulder before hurrying out the door.

Moose got out of the car and smiled at Sophie, he came around the car to open her door for her.

"Hey Sophie." He kissed her cheek and Sophie pretended she did not see his cheeks go red.

"Hey Moose." Climbing into the car Sophie smiled at Moose and let him shut the door. Sophie settled back against the seat as Moose went around the back of the car to get in. Sophie closed her eyes and tried to calm her nerves, if she had of kept them open she would have seen Moose stop at the trunk of the car and put his face in his hands.

"Alright Moose," He whispered to himself. "Get a hold of yourself. It's just dinner and a movie. You've done dinner and a movie before. This is no big deal."

'Yea except this is Sophie Donavan we're talking about'. The little voice in his head countered.

Ignoring it Moose walked the rest of the way around the car and climbed in.

"Okay are you ready?" He asked Sophie who smiled at him and nodded. "Then let's go."

As they drove down the street Moose fiddled with the radio trying to find a station. But it wasn't easy trying to keep his eyes on the rode while trying to turn the stations.

"Why don't I do that?" Sophie asked, Moose nodded and Sophie set to work on finding a station. Finally she found an R&B station that was playing "No One" By Alicia Keys.

They talked about little things on the way to the restaurant but they didn't have a problem talking to each other. Moose could easily make Sophie laugh while he just liked listening to Sophie talk. So he asked her random questions, like what she was going to do for the showcase and if she had any siblings.

At the restaurant they sat outside seeing as how it was a nice enough to night to do so. Neither of them could decided on what exactly to get,

"It all sounds so good." Sophie commented. "I want spaghetti, but I want this chicken casserole."

"Tell you what." Moose said closing his menu. "How about you get spaghetti and I get the chicken casserole then we can split them both with each other."

"Are you sure?" Sophie asked.

"Positive." Moose nodded. Sophie smiled at him and let him order their food.

"Hey Moose." She said quietly when he was finished.

"Yea?" His large brown eyes met hers.

"What's your real name?"

Moose laughed and scratched his head making his hat lopsided and making himself even more adorable.

"My real name is Robert Alexzander the third but I like Moose so much better."

"And how exactly did you get your nickname?" Sophie tilted her head to the side slightly.

"When I was a little kid my parents took me to the Colorado Mountains. We saw lots and lots of live Moose's and that was my first word: Moose. And I guess it just kind of stuck."

Sophie nodded, Robert Alexzander the third really didn't fit him. Moose on the other hand fit him completely and maybe it was just because that was what she always had known him as.

When their food arrived the teenagers split their plates down the middle and gave the other half. They tried their hardest not to make a mess but something about this struck them as funny and it's kind of hard to push a bunch of spaghetti and casserole onto a plate if you're laughing. And it's hard to hold the plate still if you're laughing.

Over dinner, they talked about everything. Their parents, Sophie's little sister Eliza. Moose's cousins Jared and Gareth, Moose's parents. The streets competition and their dance classes at school.

"Oh god, I'm stuffed." Sophie said an hour later. She leaned back in her seat and watched Moose eat the last bit of his casserole.

"Hey you ate it all." Moose commented.

"I'm not like most girls at that dance school." Sophie said. "When I'm hungry, I eat."

"Well that's good to know. You and Andie are probably the only two that do. Well—Fly and Jenny probably do to so we're up to what? Four girls now that eat when they're hungry?" Moose smiled as Sophie laughed at him.

"So what movie do you want to see?" He asked.

"I don't know."

"Well, there's Juno, There Will Be Blood, No Country For Old Men, Fool's Gold, and Vintage Point." Moose recited remembering what he'd read in the paper before he left.

"I really want to see Vintage Point." Sophie said.

"Then Vintage Point it is."

Moose insisted that he pay for dinner and soon they were on their way to the movies. Inside the theater it wasn't packed but it wasn't empty either,

"Where do you wanna sit?" Moose asked.

"All the way to the top." Sophie said walking passed Moose, she took hold of his hand and pulled him and the popcorn up the steps.

They made it just in time for the previews to begin and Moose offered Sophie popcorn. She took some but grabbed Moose's hand just before the movie began.

"But," Moose whispered in her ear. "How are we going to eat the popcorn."

Sophie laughed and pushed Moose's skull cap down past his eyes.

"Shut it, the movie's staring." She giggled.

They left the theater holding hands and Moose thought he was on top of the world. When he dropped her off at her house, she kissed him, on the lips mind you, before she got out of the car. And when Moose got home he flew up the steps to grab his phone and call Chase and Andie to tell them everything that had happen that night.

Okay, this is the last chapter for tonight. I wish I didn't but I've got to go to bed because CSAP starts again tomorrow. Ugh I hate CSAP. But anyway I liked this chapter, complete fluff between Sophie and Moose. As we get more and more into the story you guys will get chapters with only Sophie and Moose in them. Because Sophie and Moose's relationship isn't going to be all roses and happiness either.

A/N-Don't worry Moose isn't crazy because he was talking to himself. I do it all the time and I'm not crazy. Or at least I wasn't the last time I check!

Reviews keep my fingers typing chapters!
