I do not own the characters from Dirty Dancing. Only the characters that I made up myself. This story is the sequel to Same People Different Story. I think the title is obvious. This story is 17 years after the first story, which means it's 2011. You will probably see some bits from the movie coming into this story.

They walked downstairs, Johnny went to the garden. "I'm out guys. We'll probably be back late. You don't have to stay here today. I would like to have the house to ourselves." Johnny said, Baby waited for him inside. "Sure mate. We will be gone with dinner." Luke said. "But, I have a date here." Sebastian said. "Then you have the date somewhere else. You have your own place." Johnny said and walked away. They looked after him and then at each other. "Wow, Johnny isn't easy anymore." Sebastian said.
"Maybe he never really was, but he was different when he lived here." Luke said. "He still lives here." Sebastian said. "This is technically his house yes, and he can tell us to go away, but living here? No, he does not anymore. His home is in New York with his fiancé." Luke said as he stood up. "But we are his friends." Sebastian said. "Of course and we still are, but we need to respect his wishes Sebas, besides it's only for today. So have your date somewhere else, I'm going home now." Luke said and walked inside the house.
Johnny and Baby walked to the car. "Did you got your old car back?" Baby asked. "Yeah, I've searched for it and found it at an auction after Max had let it pick up by a garage." Johnny explained. Baby looked at the window and saw it's repaired. "You can afford a better one you know." She said. "I don't want to, I like this car, you know that." Johnny said as they stepped in, he started the engine and Baby smiled. Johnny drove away, Baby looked around. Seeing all those big houses, fancy cars, people with fancy clothes. "How can you live here? This is everything you oppose." Baby said, Johnny chuckled.
"It's just a house Baby, if I liked it here, I would even bought a new car. You know a Porsche or something, and I probably would have never came back to New York, back home." Johnny said, she looks at him and gave a deep sigh. "I don't understand how people can live like this, it's all about money. I mean, look at uncle Robert and Lisa." Baby said. "Yeah, they're the different kind. I even am more disgust about that kind than about this." Johnny said. "Look, there's Owen Farstead." Baby said. "Now you sound like a tourist searching for celebrities." Johnny said and they both laughed.
Johnny drove to the studio and stopped at the gate. "Hello Mr. Castle. It's good to see you again." The gatekeeper said with a smile and then looked at Baby. "Hey Roger, I have a meeting in about 5 minutes." Johnny said with a smile. "Good luck." Roger said and opened the gate for Johnny. Johnny parked the car in front of the building. They stepped out, Johnny grabbed Baby's hand and they walked inside.
The receptionist looked up and saw him, she smiled and then looked at Baby. "Hello Mr. Castle. They're waiting in room 5." She said, Johnny gave her a nod and Baby smiled at her. "You're ready for this? They can be a bit overwhelming." Johnny whispered as they stood at the door. "Let's get this over with, then we have more time for ourselves. I want to see the beach and L.A." Baby whispered, Johnny chuckled and opened the door.
A lot of noises washed over them, but they quiet down when the people look at Johnny and Baby coming inside. Jack stood up and walked to Johnny. "You're on time Johnny." Jack said and they shook hands. Jack looks at Baby and smiled. "And you must be Mrs. Castle to be. Jack Hurst." He said, Baby smiled and shook hands with him. "Frances Houseman, nice to meet you." Baby said. "Sit down." Jack said and went back to his chair.
There were 5 other people in the room, they introduced themselves to Baby as well before Baby could sit down next to Johnny. He grabbed her hand and smiled. "Let's get straight to business." Jack said with a smile. An assistant came inside with coffee. "Want some coffee?" She asked and looked at Johnny. "No thank you." Johnny said. "Yes please." Baby said with a smile. Baby sipped the coffee. "Good coffee." Baby said, Johnny chuckled a bit.
"So, we have agreed to use your original script." Jack said and moved to give Johnny a copy as well. Johnny look at it and then at Jack again. "We need to know several things, details, so we have a better understanding and can make the movie a bit better. Details are important." Jack said. "But first, you are really sure you want to do this movie because it's about both your lives?" Jack asked.
"Yeah, otherwise I wouldn't have given Johnny my permission in first place." Baby answered the question. "But you do know you can become famous with this, right?" Jack asked and looks at Baby now. "I sort of am already, at least in the dancing world." Baby said and sipped the coffee. "Really?" Jack asked, one of the producers was looking on his phone.
"Yeah, she is. Here it stands, 4 times junior champion with Peter Mooijweer and once with Johnny." The guy said. "Wait, what? You won a dancing competition Johnny?" He asked and looked at Johnny now. "Yeah, 17 years ago at Kellerman's. It's in the script you know." Johnny said. "Wait, I thought you made that up." He said and laid his phone down on the table. "No, it's very real. And we are planning on rolling back into the competition world again as soon as the movie is finished." Johnny said. "So, you really were a truck driver? What truck you drove in?" Jack asked as he was holding his pen ready.
"Yeah, I was. It was my world after my dancing career and before I met Johnny. I used to drive an 12 years old Mack 430, but when I started to drive for Kellerman's my boss gave me the newest Mack at the time. A Mack 520, double cabin, black with chrome accents. I have a picture here." Baby said and took her phone. She opened the picture and gave her phone to Jack. "That's a big one." He said. "Yeah, but it's my favorite one." Baby said as she took her phone back. Jack was writing it down.
"You told me that you have a place in mind to shoot the movie." Jack said and looked at Johnny. "Yeah, Kellerman's itself." Johnny answered. "What exactly is Kellerman's?" Jack asked. "A family resort in the mountains of New York state, rich people go their on holiday. There's nothing cheap about that place, and it's even more expensive now since the old owner died last year." I was Catherine, one of the editors/co-producer. "Max died?" Johnny asked now. "Yeah, from a heart attack." She answered.
"Look at that, Robert saved him from it 22 years ago and he eventually dies from it." Baby said. "Sad news nonetheless." She added. "Robert?" Catherine asked and wrote down the name. "My uncle, Robert Houseman, MD who is specialized in cardiology. He plays a small part too at that summer." Baby said, she nodded and wrote it down. "Alright, Catherine if you can see to arrange that we can film the movie there." Jack said. "Right away boss." She said and walked away.
Jack asked about some more details, while they all went together over certain parts of the script. "Your brother, is he really paralyzed?" Jack asked. "Yeah, he had an accident when he was 7. Been paralyzed from the waist down ever since." Baby said with a smile. "And he really did ride a horse back then?" Jack asked. "Yeah, I helped Penny out with that. It's one of the best memories I have." Baby said with a smile. "And Penny was your dance partner at Kellerman's Johnny?" Jack asked.
"Penny and I are best friends since I was 10 years old. We met on the streets." Johnny said with a smile. "Any pictures? We need to know what to watch out for with casting people." Jack said. "Actually." Johnny said and everyone looked at him. "I was thinking of asking everyone who was there to play in the movie themselves." Johnny said. "Wait what? Johnny, I can't act." Baby said as she looks at him.
"You don't have to Baby, we just recreate that summer again. We're going to Kellerman's this year for holiday, it's actually the perfect opportunity to film the movie this year." Johnny said. "You reckon my parents, Lewis, Penny and Billy will do this?" Baby asked. "We can ask them, they all are going with us anyway." Johnny said. "It sounds appealing, but Max needs to be casted then. And several other staff members. Neil must allow us to go into the staff house." Baby said. "Things that we can arrange, there's nothing much we can't do but if you want to do this. It's easier on us. So, if you can try to convince them Johnny, do it very fast. Summer is near and a lot needs to be arranged." Jack said and looked at Johnny now.
Baby looked at Johnny and shook her head a bit. "What is it?" He asked. "I don't know, I thought we would have a wonderful holiday. What about the kids? They can't be in the movie, I don't want their holiday being destroyed." Baby said. "It won't, it will be alright." Johnny said and gave her a kiss. "What about the wedding?" Baby asked. "Still going on, after the filming of the movie. Baby, filming is the least thing for a movie to be made. Most time is stuck into editing." Johnny explained. "Yeah, we can have filmed this in 2 weeks time if we work hard on it." Jack said with a smile. "Alright, I'll take your word for it. But I want to enjoy the holiday as well." Baby said. "Not a problem at all." Jack said with a smile.
