This one is gonna be a bit different you guys. Not only is it gonna be RPF (Real Person Fiction), but this is China Anne McClain/Dylan Playfair I know there's an age gap, but this could just be considered a friendship among co-stars so we good? Okay we good

Summary: Who needs Dirty Dancing when we have What's My Name?

"China, after the music starts I want you to circle around the table. With every step I want you to pop, skip and bounce. Yes, like that", Jamal critiqued as China lip synced, swaggering around the table before stopping.

"Now while you're doing this everyone will have their own things to do. Dylan, you and the others will climb on the table from the other side, while Thomas and the others follow China.", he instructed, doing it again with the addition of the others.

"China, when you come around, I want you to stand in the center.", China followed his orders, finishing with Thomas at her side.

"Thomas you'll move to the front were you'll be kneeling. From there we will do the human sail for Our sails about to set", he watched as Dylan threw up his arm while the two beside him grabbed it and they all interlocked with China at the center. "Celeste, after that you and Thomas will switch places. He'll be beside China and you'll be on the bottom right"

"After that it's What's my name? What's my name and I want beating, stomping, fist pumping and Harry looking crazy, just out of it", they all laughed as Thomas stuck out his tongue, shaking his wild hair.

"I wanna see up to there, with the music before we move on, okay?",Everyone nodded as they got into position.

"From the top! 5..6..5,6,7,8"

This all hands on deck
Calling out to lost boys and girls,
I'm getting tired of the disrespect
We won't stop til we rule the world
It's our time,
We up next
(Next!)
Our sail sails about to be set
(Set!)
They ain't seen nothing yet
Tell 'em whose in charge so they don't forget
What's my name? What's my name?
(Uma!)
Say it louder!
What's my name? What's my naaaaaame?
(Uma!)
Feel the power

The music stopped and everyone froze in their positions. It was silent safe for their heavy breathing,"That was perfect everybody, but Thomas when you're answering What's My Name? with Uma be careful when you snap your head over. I don't want you to end up breaking anything", he explained and Thomas nodded rubbing his neck.

Making sure everyone was okay, he continued, "I'm gonna change up a couple things. I was thinking Uma should get onto the table at feel the power and no ones gonna stop us before we go into the next verse and the human wave of Uuuuuumma."

China looked back at the high table, comparing the height of where it stopped at her upper arm, her eyebrow raising. Jamal laughed at her face, "I know, I know, even with those heels on, she's gonna need a bit of help getting up there." Everyone laughed, Thomas calling her a wee one. "Dylan, do you think you can do that?", he asked, pointing to the blonde.

She looked back at Dylan who was sitting on the edge of the table, also catching his breath. He gave her a quick glance before nodding, "Yeah, I can do it"

China was a bit hesitant,"Okay!", she was pulled from her thoughts by Jamal's voice, "so I want you to grab under her arms and lift her, but be careful not to fall over or hurt one another", Dylan squatted down, reaching under her as told before lifting her slightly and putting her down.

"Yeah, just like that!", Jamal clapped, "Now I think you guys have earned a break.", he smiled hearing the groans of agreeance, "Alright, be back in 20 hydrated and ready to move on the the next set of choreography"

Dylan had gone to the bathroom when the called break and was walking back into the studio. He grabbed his water bottle, taking a large gulp. Rehearsal was exhausting and they weren't even halfway done.

"Hey, play-pen!"

Dylan looked over to find China jogging up to him, a large smile on her face,"What's up shrimpy?", he responded with a grin, drinking out of his water bottle.

"Well...you know...", She started, pulling her bottom lip between her teeth,"Jamal said you were supposed to help lift me on the table...earlier...over there and I just was wondering... "

"China your rambling like Cameron right now" (RIP my freckled angel) Dylan said, crossing his arms over his chest,"What's bothering you?" She wasn't usually like this, bouncing around and singing like Dove and Sofia.

"Are you sure you're gonna be able to lift me up?", she asked quickly, looking up at him. "I'm not gonna lie, I'm not as little as I look", she explained gesturing to her person.

After a moment, Dylan laughed. That's what's been bothering her? "It's fine really", her costar nodded, "I can do it. You're only about what, 110 pounds?", he asked assessing her. It really wouldn't be that hard honestly. Still, China didn't look convinced, but he couldn't blame her. She just didn't wanna end up hurting him, plus she wasn't exactly ecstatic about playing with gravity.

Dylan took in her frown, before putting down his water bottle,"If I show you, then will you believe me?", he asked the young woman. China hesitated, but nodded.

Dylan took her phone and put it next to his stuff before walking back over to mirror wall. China stopped and faced towards the wall. Dylan moved behind her, his figure towering over hers. "Okay you ready?", he asked, placing his hands on her forearms. China nodded back at him,"You drop me, we can't be friends anymore", she threatened halfheartedly, trying to calm her nerves.

The older man chuckled at her empty threat,"It's gonna be fine.", he assured,"3...2..-"

At the latest moment, China panicked,"Wait!"

"1!"

Before she knew it, her feet were off the ground and she was looking at the ground below her. "Someone tuuk aft'ar Gaston!", Thomas cheered from across the room, waving at the girl in the air. She looked like Simba when he was born; her body just hanging in the air, flat out confused.

"Okay, you can put me down now", China whined, wiggling her feet in the air. This was cool but, the ground was cooler. Dylan didn't put her down, instead propping her up on his shoulder, his arm secured around her thighs,"See I told you, I got it"

China rolled her eyes, "Ha- ha!", she laughed mockingly, trying not to look at the ground, "Okay, really, but this is way higher than that table Dylan", she reminded. He was totally being smug. 'Oh if I can lift you this high then I can do the table lift' that's what she heard in her head. China damn near screamed when he started to lower her down.

"It's okay, I got ya", he promised, adjusting his grip, before helping her slide off his shoulder and onto the ground safely.

Dylan stretched out his arms as China turned to him, the panic from earlier had been erased from China's face, "Dude, I felt like Baby from Dirty Dancing ya know, from the Time Of Our Lives scene?", she explained, giggling as she hugged him.

"That makes you my Patrick Swayze"

This is proof that I watch the video waaaaaaayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy too much. I got inspired because I was watching him nonstop on loop when the Wi-Fi went out
