Chapter Nine
"Okay, up next is Sharpay Evans and Zeke Baylor." The director said.
Zeke and Sharpay walked on stage. He grabbed her hand and waited for the music to start. She looked at him and smiled.
"Are you ready?" He asked.
"Yeah, you?"
"Let's do this." Zeke said. The music came on and they started to rumba.
When they were done, they took a bow and took their seats.
"Chad Danforth and Taylor McKessie." The director called.
They walked on stage and took off their robes to reveal tights and ballet slippers. Taylor was wearing a leotard. 'We're Dancing' by P.Y.T. came on. Chad and Taylor danced, using the ballet technique. They leaped across stage, Chad picked Taylor up and still rolled over his arms. Taylor stood on the tip of her toes on one foot, while Chad picked her up and drug her across stage. They continued to dance, getting a rise out of the crowd. They were eating this up. They were terrific.
When they were done, the were rewarded with cheers and claps of approval.
"Okay, Troy and Gabriella Bolton."
Troy and Gabriella got into position. "You're going to be wonderful." He told her.
"No, we're going to be wonderful. I have faith in us." Gabriella said. The music started to play.
At first, it was ballroom music. Troy and Gabriella started to dance. Then, without any warning, the music changed to salsa music. Troy and Gabriella kept up with the music, changing their dancing to fit the music. It changed to tango. Troy picked Gabriella up in his arms and spun her. The hip-hop music came on. They kept changing to fit the music.
They completed their last dance move, Gabriella was stretched out in Troys arms.
"Our last couple dance is Jason and Kelsi Cross."

At home, their parents were watching the competition. They were happy with the dancing their children were doing.

The song from Dirty Dancing Havana Nights came on. It was called 'Dance like this.'
Kelsi and Jason began to sway to the music. Twirling, grinding, and dipping. Jason got down on his knees, placed his hands on Kelsi's butt and they began to walk backwards, Kelsi was shaking her chest at him, her boobs shaking to and fro. Jason got back up and dipped her, running his hand from her neck, down between her boobs. He pulled her back up and she placed her arm around his neck and they started to roll their hips toward each other. As the song came to a close, they slowed their dancing until it stopped in a dance move.

"It was Troy's idea." Gabriella was saying to the rest of them. She was referring to being stretch out in Troy's arms.
"I didn't know you danced ballet." Troy said to Chad.
"Well, you sing, Zeke bakes, and Jason...well he is Jason. It's only right that I do something that no one expects." Chad explained.
"Well, it was great." Zeke said.
"Yeah. That was my first time, really, but Chad really helped me out." Taylor stated.
"Can I have everyone's attention? You guys might be tired of dancing and singing, but we're having a party for everyone here at the hotel tonight." The director announced.
At the mention of a party, everyone got excited. "What am I going to wear?" One girl asked.
"Who will dance with me?" asked another.
Troy looked at the group. "Are we going?"
"Yes!" was everyone's reply.

Miss. Darbus said that she was going to spend the night reading a new play. She was really exhausted and wanted some peace and quiet. But she also told them not to be out too late.

The boys met the girls outside the party doors. They all looked amazing. The boys were pretty much wearing button down shirts with dress pants. The girls however decided to dress for the occasion. Kelsi had on a pair of bell bottoms with a silver tube top. She had matching silver heels. Her hair was in waves, cascading down her back.
Gabriella was wearing a two piece outfit, She was wearing a long, black, flowing skirt with a black shirt, showing her mid-drift. She wore black flats. She had her hair in braids.
Sharpay was wearing on a short, pink skirt. She had a white shirt on that exposed a shoulder. She was wearing heels. Her hair was wild, like she just came out of a wind storm.
Taylor wore a periwinkle blue, clingy dress, It hugged every curve of her body. She had matching heels. She had her hair in a headband, finishing her look with two butterfly clips.
"Ready?" Gabriella asked, taking the lead. She pulled Troy in behind her.
Kelsi walked up to Jason. She put her hand under his chin and pushed it up, closing it. "You'll catch flies that way." She joked.
Jason brushed his hand against her cheek. "You are so beautiful." He said.
"Isn't that why you married me, or was it because of my sensational music abilities?" she joked again.
They followed Chad and Taylor in. There were the Cheetah Girls who, true to their name, were wearing cheetah spots. Joaquin was wearing a plain black outfit.
Samantha and Roscoe from the Zettabytes were slow dancing together, as were Wendy Wu and Shen.
Taylor and Jackson Mead were talking to the girls from the Marshall High school, the cheerleaders. Courtney Callum and Phillip were over at the refreshment table.
Britney Aarons, Jordan Cahill, and Natasha Kwon-Shwartz were talking to Spencer, Katelyn and the rest of the hockey team.
Everyone was having a wonderful time.
Just then, 'Buttons' by the Pussycat Dolls came on. All of the girls nodded at each other and started to dance together, facing the boys. They walked toward them busting the same dance moves.
The boys responded by walking toward them, dancing as well. It was boys against girls. The girls rolled their hips, dipped, and began to move their butts.
The boys rolled their hips in returned, they continued to walk toward the girls, and they grabbed themselves.
The girls dropped the floor, in a short, quick split, then they were back up. The made contact with the boys, brushing their butts against their crotches.
They backed off and started to loosen up their clothes. They boys retreated, defeated. When the song ended, the girls started to give each other high fives.

The next, morning, everyone was eagerly waiting at the breakfast table. They were about to announce the results.
The director stood. "You are all very talented. I say that with pure and true honesty. This wasn't a very easy decision to make. While you all had great technique, there were some who were lacking chemistry. You all sang beautifully. Again, this wasn't an easy decision to make. The costumes were genius." He said, looking in Kelsi and Sharpay's direction. "After thinking long and hard, the winners are..."
