Notice: I don't own any of these characters except for the newbies they all belong to FFC. I don't own any songs. I have also tooken a part out of the Disney tv movie Brink and wrote it in this story. I also don't own that you will know that the paragraph is from Brink because I will have ~ at the beginning and the end of the paragraph.

Scott woke up the next morning to children laughing. He looked outside and saw Alex, Tommy, Lucas and Hayden playing softball or at least Hayden was trying. He couldn't help but laugh at how his son's bat was to big for him. He looked around the dorm and saw Auggie, David and Ezra had all left the dorm before he had woke up. He quickly got on his clothes and left the dorm. He went strait to the lodge. When he got in there he saw Daisy feeding Joey and Juliet was playing with Abagail. He looked over and saw Shelby smiling at Abagail and Juliet and listening to Ezra talk. He still couldn't belive that she still took his breath away everytime he saw her. David and Auggie were over beside Peter and Sophie talking.

Scott: Morning everybody.

Everybody looked up and smiled at Scott and said good- morning to him. Scott went over and sat beside Peter and started talking with him, Auggie, Sophie and David. They had been talking for about thirty minutes when they heard a scream. Shelby's face turned white and she ran strait for the door. Everybody followed her. When they reached outside Shelby fell to the ground beside Tommy who was laying on the ground crying.


**When I was fourteen I was falling fast
For a blue eyed girl in my homeroom class
Trying to find the courage to ask her out
Was like trying to get oil from a waterspout
What she would have said I can't say
I never did ask and she moved away
But I learned something from my blue eyed girl
Sink or swim you gotta give it a whirl**



Shelby: ( panic voice) What happened?
Alex: ( in a innocent voice) He just tripped, mom.
Lucas: ( in a accusing voice) Yeah, over *your* foot.
Alex: No, he didn't. It was an accident.
Lucas: No, you were just mad about losing.
Alex: Hey, I was *not* losing.
Lucas: Yes, you were.
Alex: No, I wasn't.
Shelby: Both of you stop it. Alex, go get my keys.Lucas, go call the hospital tell we'll be coming in. And then you and your sister can clean up this mess. David, will you help me get him to the car.
David: Yeah sure.
Shelby: Do you guys mind watching the kids while I take him to the hospital.

Everybody shook their heads no. So Shelby and Tommy left.


**Life's a dance you learn as you go
Sometimes you lead, sometimes you follow
Don't worry about what you don't know
Life's a dance you learn as you go**


*~*~*

The cliffhangers, Peter and Sophie were all waiting in the lodge it was 9 o'clock at night and Shelby still hadn't got back from the hospital. Hayden, Lucas, Abagail, Alex and Joey were all asleep. Everybody was sitting down when the lodge door opened. Tommy walked in with a cast on and Shelby followed behind him.

Peter: How is everything?
Shelby: Well he broke his arm but besides that everything will be okay.
Tommy: How can you say that. He said I may never play be able to play baseball again. Mom, baseball's my life. It's who I am.

Shelby walked up and kneeled beside Tommy. Tommy looked away.


**The longer I live the more I believe
You do have to give if you wanna recieve
There's a time to listen, a time to talk
And you might have to crawl even after you walk
Had sure things blow up in my face
Seen the longshot, win the race
Been knocked down by the slamming door
Picked myself up and came back for more**



Shelby: ( in a soft voice) Look at me. ( Tommy looked at her with tears in his eyes) I don't ever want to hear you say that again. ~ You are Tommy Jacop Merrick and you're a baseball player. But baseball is what you do it's not who you are. Tomarrow is you wake-up and never play baseball again you will still be Tommy Jacop Merrick. A smart, handsome, funny boy. Who is a great big brother and a great son. And no matter what ever happens to you that is who you are. Got it.~
Tommy: I guess you're right.
Shelby: I know I am. Now go to bed.
Tommy: Okay. Love you mom.

Tommy kissed Shelby.

Shelby: I love you too.

Tommy walked out of the room. And Shelby stood up and saw Peter, Sophie and all the cliffhangers standing behind her.

Shelby: What?
David: Wow Shelby, that was deep and I don't even mean for you. That was just plain deep.
Shelby: Shut-up. I'm going to bed. Night everybody.

Everybody said good-night to Shelby.

**Life's a dance you learn as you go
Sometimes you lead, sometimes you follow
Don't worry about what you don't know
Life's a dance you learn as you go**



Auggie walked up to the docks and saw Scott sitting on a bench. He walked up and sat beside him.

Auggie: Yo Meat, I was worried about you. Why are you out here?
Scott: Couldn't sleep. Just thinking I guess.
Auggie: That's cool. Anything you want to tell me about.
Scott: She's amazing.
Auggie: I presume you're talking about Shelby.
Scott: Yeah. I mean the way she handeled Tommy tonight. Hell the way she's handeled everything life's thrown at her and still asks for more. It's just amazing how she never tires.
Auggie: Well Shelby is Shelby.
Scott: I just wish I wouldn't of screwed up with her.
Auggie: Meat, I'm going to tell you something my dad used to tell me when I screwed up.
Scott: What's that?
Auggie: Life's a dance, you learn as you go. You just have to hope when the songs over you won't end up alone.


**Life's a dance you learn as you go
Sometimes you lead, sometimes you follow
Don't worry about what you don't know
Life's a dance you learn as you go
Life's a dance you learn as you go
Sometimes you lead, sometimes you follow
Don't worry about what you don't know
Life's a dance you learn as you go**


Scott: Yeah, I guess right.


**Life's a dance
Life's a dance
Life's a dance
Take a chance on love
Life's a dance
You learn as you go**
