Part nine: Before the great competition

The next week Babe and Johnny made some preparations for the competition they were going to make. When Babe was home from college she and Johnny practiced the dance they were going to perform on the big competition. Penny and Billy said that they were great. On saturday their small competition took place. Johnny, Babe and Penny selected to most talented students. Billy was taking part with Lisa who had learned some dances from him.

The students danced some standard dances and latin-american dances. They were all great but one couple Johnny liked the most. He thought that they would be great at the competition but before he decided he must have to speak with Babe.

Johnny wanted to talk to Babe in the office.

Johnny: I think I have found the couple.

Babe: And who?

Johnny: Billy and Lisa. They are great together and if Lisa has only the half of the talent you have than they are going to have a big chance to win.

Babe: Billy is a great dancer, too. Okay, lets try.

They went back to the studio.

Johnny: The couple who is going to take part at the competition is Billy and Lisa.

Lisa: What? Us? I can't dance.

Babe: I said the same once ago. But you were good, now. And Billy is a great dancer. WE will show you how to dance at the competition.

Lisa: But I can't. I'm not you.

Johnny: This may be right, but you are very similar. I know that you can do this. We will help you. We still have two weeks until the competition.

Babe: It's more time than I had back at Kellerman's and you know some dances already.

Billy: And you know some part of the dance we are going to perform.

Babe: We will dance a changed form of the "Mambo" we danced at Kellerman's.

Lisa: Okay, I'll try it.

The next ten days they showed Lisa how to dance the "Mambo". Johnny, Lisa, Billy and Penny helped her very much. Finally they danced it perfect. Lisa was afraid to dance in front of an audience so Babe invited Penny, Granny and their parents for thursday to dance in front of them. They were thrilled by it. Marge said that she would make the dresses for Babe and Lisa so they spent the most of friday at the house of the Houseman's. The dresses looked nice.

Lisa: I'm so excited about tomorrow.

Babe: I know. I'm too. But actually I'm really happy if it's over. I love dancing and taking part at this competition is a great chance but it to much. I mean I went to college, did some paperwork, run the apartment, helped teaching and all of the practice. It's to much for me and the baby.

Lisa: I know what you mean. Normally you should take care of you. But in some hours it over.

Babe: Yeah and you are going to be great with Billy.
