Skylar: Hola chicos y chicas! Hope your having a great day, sorry I didn't post another chapter. I've just been busy with school and studies. Not only that, but I kinda had a writer's block. 'X) So, here's the chapter! Also for the disclaimer, "SING" characters don't belong to me. Only my OC's and plot. Hope you enjoy this!

"Okay, so overall, I actually ship Johnny and Ash! There, I said it!" Irene said with a laugh. Once Nooshy and Porsha cornered her and asked about the incident back at the stage, Irene couldn't keep it a secret any longer. So, she admitted with what happened in the past 3 hours and how Johnny ended up being in the hospital because of that one time when Irene asked Johnny on how he would feel if Ash went on some blind dates, and how he passed out when Nana innocently yet purposefully asked how Ash would look like in a dress.

"Are you serious? You and Nana asked Johnny about Ash and he passed out TWICE?" Nooshy asked while laughing. She thought it was hilarious how Johnny, her best friend, got all flustered over a girl. Not to mention that the girl is a part of the theater gang.

Porsha cooed, "Aw, that's so cute!"

Irene nodded while giggling. "Yep. But don't tell them both, please. I don't want the theater gang to know about this. I'm worried that they might do something about this."

"Too late." A male voice said. Irene froze and slowly turned around and saw the whole group, except Johnny and Ash, at the doorway. One half of her was relieved that Johnny and Ash didn't have to witness what Irene just said moments ago. But the other half of her was horrified to find out that the rest of the group now knows. Irene's heart was beating like crazy, and she mentally pinched herself to see if she was a dream, but it wasn't.

Irene slowly got up. "How long have you guys been there?" She asked with caution.

Mike replied with a smug, "Long enough to know that you think Ash and Johnny would make a perfect match."

Irene gave a fake laugh and quickly spoke with a pleading look. "Please don't tell Johnny or Ash, please! I am begging you! If they both find out how I think of those two, they will never look at each other in the eye and they'll both be giving me daggers 'till my grave!"

Rosita put both her hands on Irene's shoulder in assurance. "Woah, calm down, Irene. Breathe."

Irene inhaled and exhaled. "Sorry. Just…Please don't say anything." She pleaded, clasping her hands in a begging gesture.

"Oh, we promise not to say anything." Buster said while having a wide grin.

Irene raised a suspicious eyebrow. "I'm sensing that for some weird reason, you have a plan that involves setting Ash and Johnny up." She said with caution.

"Well, maybe." He said, giving an innocent shrug.

Irene giggled while rolling her eyes. "Okay, what's the plan?" Rosita asked.

He raises a finger and stands in a confident position, saying loudly and confidently, "I…" He freezes for a second, then droops. "Don't have a plan yet."

Everyone groaned, and Irene along with Nooshy slapped their foreheads. "Great." They both said in union.

Gunter raised a hand excitedly. "Wait, I just got a great idea! What if Ash and Johnny become dance partners for the competition?" He said with excitement.

Everyone looked at each other in surprise, then they nodded in agreement.

"That could work!" Buster exclaimed happily.

"But how?" Meena asked.

"Yeah, how?" Mike questions with a deadpan look. "Listen, whenever the kid, or as a matter of fact, ANYBODY, mentions Spikey to Big J, he passes out. He did it twice today."

Irene cringed and started to pace. "Well, yesterday, when I was talking to Johnny about him finding a dance partner, I suggested Ash on being his dance partner. But because of Ash's past life with her ex, which I don't know by the way, he thinks Ash wouldn't want to have a dance partner." She explained and continued to pace back and forth.

Porsha raised an eyebrow in thought. "Wait, what if we just ask Ash if she wants a dance partner?"

"Wouldn't that make it too obvious?" Alfonso asked.

Clay said, "Maybe…"

Nooshy said, "But if we play our cards right, we can ask Ash. Also, while we do that, we need to figure out why Johnny got freaked out with anything that's related to Ash."

Irene nodded. "Right. How about this: The guys can question Johnny, while us, girls, can ask Ash on how she feels with having a dance partner."

Everyone nodded. Buster pointed to Irene with a wide smile, "See! That's a plan!"

Ash was in her practice room, strumming her guitar. She couldn't focus on her songs lately, so when she managed to have a little peace to herself, she practiced. So far, it was going well. She kept on practicing until she heard a knock.

She looked up to see Nooshy along with Irene at the doorway. She smiled and said, "Hey girls! What are you doing here?"

Irene walked in with Nooshy behind her tail. Play it cool… They thought together.

"Nothing much." Nooshy said with a shrug. "We were just having a little break and we heard you playing with your guitar."

"Which, by the way, is amazing!" Irene piped up with a smile.

Ash smiled gratefully. "Thanks."

Irene decided that now was the perfect time to ask Ash. "Hey Ash, I got a question."

Ash looked up from her guitar. She nodded while putting the guitar away for the moment. "Okay, hit it."

Irene took a deep breath then looked at Ash. "Are you planning on entering the competition?"

Ash blinked. "Um, yeah. I was thinking on asking Clay to be my partner."

Now it was Irene's turn to blink. In all honesty, Irene really didn't think that Ash and Clay would be good dance partners. For one thing, there wasn't any sort of romantic relationship between those two. But she did think of those two having a father and daughter relationship kind of way. However, for number two, Clay was HUGE in height, while Ash was a little… lower than him in height. And three, Clay already has a partner.

Nooshy said, "You might want to reconsider that."

Ash raised a confused eyebrow. "And why is that?"

"Because Clay already has a partner." Nooshy explained. "His dance partner is Nana. They told Buster earlier today."

Ash drew a shocked look. "Oh. With Nana? I didn't know that." She groaned. "Great, so who can be my partner?" She said aloud.

Irene mumbled under breath while rolling her eyes, "Definitely not your ex, Lance." She shifted her gaze back to Ash. "What about Johnny?" She asked.

Ash looked up. "Johnny?" She repeated, then put a finger under her lips in thought. "Hmm… Maybe. I can ask him."

Inside Irene and Nooshy were doing a victory dance. On the outside, they remained calm. "That sounds like an idea." Nooshy casually said. Irene nodded in agreement.

Irene spoke. "Well, we better get going. We gotta practice since we don't know when the competition is."

Ash nodded. "Got it. I'll see you two later?" Both girls nodded in confirmation.

Nooshy said, "Yeah. See ya, Ash."

With that, both girls headed back to the practice room, where all the eager girls were.

Porsha ran up to them excitedly. "So? What'd she say?"

Both girls gave wide grins. "Well, she's going to see if Johnny can be her partner!" Irene said with a squeal.

Rosita and Meena had excited looks. "That's great!" Rosita said with excitement.

At that moment, the rest of the guys came in with wary looks. Irene took notice and gave a look. "What happened with you guys?"

"Don't ask kid." Mike said and laid on the floor.

Buster gave a sigh. "We managed to figure out why he passed out. It's because of the sudden questions you and Nana asked. He doesn't know why, but it makes him uncomfortable."

"Ooh, okay. But, um, how did he take the question?"

The guys looked at each other uncertainly and said in union, "Um…"

Earlier…

"What?" Johnny squeaked, then passed out, yet for the third time, AGAIN!

Mike pulled his hands up in disbelief. "ARE YOU SERIOUS?!" He cried out in disbelief.

Buster sighed. "I'll get the water."

Present…

Gunter gave a sheepish smile with a shrug, "He might've… fainted for the third time?"

Irene shook her head. "Seriously?" She deadpans. She sighs and simply said, "Well, least we know not to do that again."

At that moment, Ash ran into the room, panting slightly from her running. "Hey Moon!" She called. "Does Johnny have a partner yet?"

Buster's face lit up. "Give me a sec." He checked his clipboard to see if Johnny had a dance partner even though he knew that Johnny didn't have a partner yet. Until now. "Mmm… Nope, he doesn't have one yet."

Ash's face lit with relief. "Great. Can you give me a second to see if Johnny can be my partner?"

Buster nodded. "Thanks!" She called over her shoulder and left.

Nooshy raised an amused eyebrow with a smirk and crossed her arms. "This is gonna be interesting." She said with amusement.

To make a long story short, Ash asked Johnny to be her dance partner, and he agreed. But not before fainting for the fourth time in the day after answering her question. Which was strange to Johnny because he was normally a relaxed, sincere guy, who was friends with everyone in the theater gang and he wasn't the type of person to faint every day. Yet, he still passed out. 5 minutes later, Irene was staring at a passed-out Johnny with a deadpan look.

She said to him while he was still passed out, "Seriously, Johnny, we definitely have to work with your fainting." And with that, she splashed water on his face. Having a confused look, after he woke up, Irene recapped what happened, and finished with, "If you pass out again, I'll be kicking your butt and I won't speak to you again. Capeech?"

Skylar: Whoa-oh, look at that! The theater gang now know about Irene shipping Johnny and Ash and are gonna help her. And Johnny along with Ash are finally dance partners. Talk about how things are really going to be interesting… Well, I'll see you guys in my next chapter! Adios readers!
