Summary:

Gary introduces a new competition on Shake It Up Chicago. Cece will stop at nothing to win even if it means... the unthinkable.

Meanwhile, Deuce can't get his head around what Rocky did to win the same competition.

Chapter Ten:

The Movie Night

Ty realized that he messed up getting Deuce to be the 'brother', someone that had no experience with little sisters despite the fact that Rocky had been one of his best friends for years. Rocky was upset. Deuce was annoyed. And neither of them were looking at each other.

There was really no point watching a movie about dinosaur robots if everyone else in the room was opting for staring out into space and ignoring each other. "Hey guys, the dinosaurs have laser eyes. Com'on. That's cool."

He should have just asked Flynn to watch it with him, at least that kid appreciated lasers and dinosaurs (of course he did, he was eight).

Neither responded. This was getting painful for Ty to be around.

"Look, I'm sorry Rocky. I didn't know you really liked the guy."

It was sabotage, that's what it had been, and Rocky with her arms crossed finally looked at Deuce again. "You know, between you and Cece I don't think I'll ever get a boyfriend."

"Hey, that's not true. There was that one guy… uh…" Deuce tried to put a name to him, if there even was a real guy that he was thinking of, which was doubtful.

"Just tell me this. What was WRONG with him? Because I'd really like to know." Rocky thought he was close to perfect but apparently close to perfect wasn't good enough.

"You know, he uh…" Deuce blushed. Ty caught it, suddenly more interested in what was going on around him than the movie. "He looked at you funny, and you were laughing at him and I just thought…"

"I was laughing because I thought he was sweet." Cece got it. But these two sitting with her just did not know girls.

"And no, Deuce, when Dina laughs at you it's just because she thinks you're stupid." Ty put in his two cents, playing with the remote in his hand.

Deuce, used to being ripped on ignored him. "Rocky, you're smart, funny, a great dancer, wicked to be around, pretty. I mean why bother with some dude like that?"

"Because I want to experience life. I want to be in love. I don't want to be the last girl who gets to do anything because I'm too preoccupied with grades to have any fun. Don't you understand that?"

Deuce swallowed thickly, "Yeah, I get it." He mumbled, turning his attention back to the screen and feeling like a grade A ass. He got it. He was thinking of what he thought was best for her instead of what she wanted. If he was really her brother he'd be terrible at it. Ty would probably rub it in his face later, just one more way he was a screw up. Great.
