Alright everyone, it is Day 3!!! Are you ready for some Moonlight Dancing? I think you are! So let's go!!

Now that I have you next to me

Everything is how it should be

Oh, baby don't fight the feeling

We're floating on a cloud

If I could, I never come back down, oh no,

Baby just keep on grooving grooving

Taylor and Chad walked out of the auditorium, holding hands, smiling and making small talk. All the other students were in shock, they dare show themselves in school when of course, Kasey wanted to kill Taylor and David well...kinda did. Tay and Chad didn't see how other people looked or what they were saying. They got in this together and they were gonna get through it together.

They soon started to walk down the main hallway, still not noticing the talks and the looks that were heading their way. Troy and the guys looked over at the couple and Troy raised his eyebrows. 'What's he doing with her?' he thought to himself.

Gabriella and Raquel were just leaving their 3rd period class when they saw Taylor and Chad walking by them. 'Are they together now?' Gabriella thought. 'I thought I told her to...oh forget it,' Raquel thought.

And just before you knew it, Mario and Kasey were coming right towards them. That's when Chad and Taylor stopped and noticed everything around them.

"So, I heard you're going to be in the competition; the one I told you to not bother with," Kasey sneered.

"Yeah, well you see, I wasn't going to bother with it but I got looped into the circle of it, so technically, I didn't bother with it. I got in it! Why? Afraid of a little competition?" Taylor sneered back. 'Oooh's were heard throughout the hallway.

"Why would I be? I go against all these creeps every year, why should I be afraid of you?" Kasey replied.

"Oh I don't know...probably because I can dance as twice as better than you!" Taylor proclaimed. Gasps echoed into the hallways and Chad got into it.

"Taylor, do you know what you're doing? I don't want another bruise from Lopez" he asked her.

"I got it covered," Taylor whispered back.

"Oh really? We'll see that in practice today," Kasey said.

"You bet unless you might want to practice in another place if you get burned alive in the auditorium," Taylor said. This time, Chad and Mario got into the 'oohs' until Kasey kicked Mario.

"We'll see about that, McKessie," Kasey said, getting in Taylor's face.

"Can't wait, Hiltress," Taylor replied back. The girls stared at each other and both stormed off in the different direction. Chad and Mario evilly looked at each other and left off to where the girls left to. The students were still stuck in place but when the warning bell rung, they sprang into place and scattered, still talking about the confrontation.

With Taylor and Chad...

"Hey, you ok?" Chad asked her when he caught up with her.

"Yeah, I'm perfectly fine," Taylor replied, stopping at her locker.

"Are you sure? Because you were ready to kill Kasey back there," Chad joked.

"I'm fine, I'm just..." Taylor sighed. She opened her locker and placed her head onto the door, "What did I get myself into?"

"Nothing, nothing at all, just relax," Chad soothed her. He put his hands on her shoulders and gave her a soft massage. Taylor sighed softly and laid her head back.

"That feels good," Taylor said.

"My secret specialty, don't tell anyone," Chad whispered while Taylor only smiled.

"Your secret's safe with me," Taylor whispered back. Chad smiled and continued to massage her shoulders, trying not to kiss the bare of her neck and part of her bare shoulders. 'Why am I thinking this? She's my friend,' he wondered to himself. Taylor moaned softly as she got her books out of her locker, enjoying the massage.

"Feel better now?" Chad asked.

"Definitely," Taylor smiled, turning around towards him, "Thanks, Chad,"

"No problem," Chad replied. The bell rang again, signaling the late bell. Taylor and Chad both sighed and looked at each other.

"My first tardy, that's great," Taylor complained.

"Your first tardy? You're kidding?" Chad asked.

"No kid. Well I gotta get back to class and get my pass from the office...I'll see you at practice after school," Taylor said.

"3:45 sharp," Chad saluted.

Taylor giggled and replied, "Bye Chad,". She left down the hallway towards the office. Chad turned around and happily walked to his class. He always loved her laugh...wait Am I falling for Taylor?

"Ok, so in the competition, you have to do 3 dances: 2 of them have to be professional while the last ?one is freestyle. All of them have to be from an actual dance style, like rumba, cha cha cha, tango, and all others. Luckily for all the contestants, they get to choose which 3 they want to do," Tony explained.

Chad and Taylor were sitting on the stage floor in the auditorium. It was after school and Mario and Kasey decided not to show after all so they were in there with their trainers, Tony and Sara. They had already showed them a demo of all the moves, now all they had to do was choose.

"So which one, out of all of these, do you want to try out?" Sara asked, placing the names of all the dances in front of the two. Taylor and Chad looked at all the cards, trying to decide what to do.

"What do you want to do, Taylor?" Chad asked.

"I don't know, the mambo looks like fun," Taylor suggested.

"Yeah I know, you wanna do it?" Chad asked.

"Ok," Taylor smiled and blushed.

"So that's one already," Sara said, "two others?"

"Um, what about the cha cha cha?" Chad asked.

"That's one of the easiest ones to learn," Sara informed.

"Easy is my middle name so let's do that one," Chad joked as the others laughed.

"Alright last one, but it is required that you have a slow one, like a waltz or something," Toni told them.

"How about the rumba? That seemed slow," Taylor asked.

"It pretty much is," Sara said.

"So what do you think?" Taylor asked back to Chad.

"I'll do it, if you do it," Chad smiled, nudging her shoulder.

"...Ok, we'll do the rumba too," Taylor smiled.

"Excellent, we have all three!!" Sara giggled.

"Is she always like that?" Chad asked. Sara gasped and hit Chad on his head.

"Not always!!" Toni replied, "So let's get started!"

40 minutes later...

"Ok, guys let's try it from the top," Toni called from the side of the stage. Sara nodded and pressed play on the stereo once more. Chad and Taylor got into position and the music started to play through the auditorium once again. They were practicing the mambo, to get the first challenge out of the day. The only way to describe what they had to do was just plain out...sexy. (Think of Monique's mambo from Dancing with The Stars). They would always to be at least 2 centimeters apart from one another and the way the other moved turned each other on...a lot! Especially with Chad, he couldn't stop thinking about her and her other aspects.

Chad and Taylor worked until they reached to the chorus of the song when the music stopped. They were face to face once again, 2 centimeters apart. Applause erupted from Sara and Tony, happy that they did a good job.

"Good job, guys! I didn't know you were gonna do this good," Tony commented.

"It was amazing!" Sara said.

They both blushed and thanked them. Practice was over now so they grabbed their belongings and left the auditorium.

"You think they have a good chance against Mario and Kasey," Tony asked Sara.

"If they keep this up and their chemistry, they'll have it in the bag," Sara smiled.

With Taylor and Chad

"That was sweet! I knew the mambo was going to be fun," Taylor smiled.

"I know right," Chad replied. On his mind was the dance and how close Taylor was to him. He had been thinking about her all day long, couldn't take her out of his mind. 'What's going on with me?' he asked himself.

'You're falling in love, the voice in his head replied.

"Uh, Chad, you're there?" Taylor asked.

"Huh!" Chad jumped, seeing Taylor in front of him.

"I said, are you still with me? You kinda blacked out," Taylor said.

"Yeah, yeah I'm fine," Chad replied.

"You sure?" Taylor replied, taking his hand.

"Yeah, let's practice that spin one more time," Chad smiled. He pushed her out and Taylor laughed as she made a pose. He rolled her back to him and dipped her almost to the floor.

"Wow, Chad. Wowing me like on the cruise?" Taylor asked.

"I try?" Chad smirked. He pulled her back slowly and they were face to face again. 2 centimeters close.

Chad kept a breath to himself, trying not to do anything drastic that might alterate their friendship. Taylor was thinking the same thing but she couldn't help herself. She leaned in and captured his lips, ever so softly. Chad tensed at first but then relaxed into it. Just as when she was gonna pull back, he pulled her back into another kiss, this time deep and passionate. Chad bit her bottom lip to have access and without thought, she let him. Grasping each other, they started to kiss harder and faster, not controlling what their emotions wanted them to do. Chad lead her to the lockers and started to kiss down her neck. Taylor moaned at the kiss and wrapped her right leg around his waist, pulling him closer so his pelvis interacted with hers. Chad groaned at the contact and kissed her passionately. Taylor responded and wrapped her arms around him, moaning into his mouth, loving the taste of him. Chad's hand started to go up Taylor's shirt and as soon as he made it up to the clasp of her bra, they both stopped what they were doing and pulled back.

Taking deep breaths, they looked back at each other, wondering what and why it happened.

"Did you just..." Taylor asked.

"Yeah, I think so," Chad replied.

"Oh my god," Taylor sighed, looking off to the side.

"Taylor, if this is gonna alterate our friendship, then..." Chad started but Taylor put a finger to his mouth.

"No...it won't," she breathed.

Chad pushed the finger aside and kissed her again. Taylor pulled him towards her as he held her in front of him by the lockers.

Taylor pulled back, breathing slowly, "so..what does this make us?"

"I don't know. But you are just...the way you danced, it..." Chad breathed.

Taylor blushed, "it turned you on?"

Chad blushed back and nodded, "Is that ok?"

"I hope so, because you kinda turn me on too," Taylor bit her bottom lip..

"That's a good thing," Chad said, his lips softly touching hers.

"So...we're still friends," Taylor asked.

"Yeah, but not so much more," Chad explained.

Taylor nodded and smiled, "Ok,"

Chad nodded back and kissed her once more. They were like that for a few minutes before it was time to go. They walked out of the school, as a newly couple...sorta of.
