Forever Dancing
Author's Notes: Here comes another chapter. This was originally supposed to be a collection of short stories and a bit of a side project while I concentrated on other things, but I've decided to really focus my attention on this. Which means there may be longer chapters, though there is no guarantee there. Sorry!
Couples: Tommy/Kimberly, Jason/Trini, Billy/Adam (yes, I'm going to be getting into that), Aisha/Rocky, Zack/Kat, and more to come!
Time Frame: The night after 'Forever Red', several hours after Trini and Jason's original conversation.

Katherine Hillard kicked off her shoes the moment she entered the apartment, a duffel bag following the shoes not too long after. As she shut the door behind her, she called out for her roommate. "Zack?" With a shrug of her shoulders, she figured he must still be working.
The blonde ballerina walked over to the couch, flopping down without a sign of grace. Rubbing her eyes, she thought back to that day's audition. When she realized she messed up a small turn, landing wrong, she cursed herself. "There goes any chance for getting the part," she grumbled.
"Cheer up, blondie, you know you'll get the part anyway. The casting directors love you," Zack said as he walked through the door, catching on immediately to what the problem was.
Kat managed to pull off a slight grin, "Thanks for the support, Zack. How was your day?"
"Better than yours, from the sounds of it." Zack attended day classes at New York University law school, then taught dance at a low-budget after school program for middle school students. "The dean told me I might be able to graduate early, and the kids seem to be having a ton of fun with the sea walk."
"Graduate early?! Congratulations!"
Zack shrugged sheepishly, though a grin was playing across his features. "That, and I got a call from a certain genius."
"Billy? What'd he have to say? The reunion's still on, right?" With all the sudden information to process, Kat was having a bit of trouble keeping the questions to a minimum.
"Yes, it was Billy. The reunion is still on. He wanted to inform me of some of the reunion plans, and ask me to make a banner, as well as tell me about the victory on the Moon."
"Add one more tally onto our Red boys. Please tell me we're going to put two certain confused brunettes out of the misery they've been in for years."
"Shucks, blondie, you spoiled my fun! Now I can't make you guess!"
Kat literally squealed around this point, "Yes! Finally! We'll be free of their bloody moping!" She seemed to have forgotten all about her rotten day as she jumping up and down on the couch. Laughing, she grabbed the amused African-American in a large hug, the momentum of her actions sending them tumbling to the ground.
"Can I say 'ouch' without the possibility of spending the night on the couch?"
"Nope. Still going to say it?"
"Say what? I don't remember having anything at all to say. Did I have anything to say? I don't think so. Yep, innocent man here," Zack's voice and face were pure innocence, but he still received a roll of eyes and smack. "Hey! Abuse!!"
