Chapter Five

           Baby was quite surprised to hear a knock on her door late that Monday afternoon. "Hey girl," Donna and Lela greeted her.

"Hi guys," Baby said, a little skeptical of their reasoning for coming. "What are you doing here", she asked.

"Oh you know", replied Donna, trying not to make it too obvious.

"We came to get you and Mike back together!" Lela came right out with it. Donna elbowed her hard.
"Oh you did?", said Baby, mildly amused. "Well, I hate to break it to you, but I just don't see that happening."

"Why not?" Lela said, obviously shocked.

"Look", said Baby, not sure how to begin. Luckily, Johnny walked in at that very moment.

"Hey Baby", he called, not even bothering to knock.
"Hey Johnny", she called back rolling her eyes. What great timing she thought sarcastically. As soon as he walked in Donna and Lela began circling him.

"So this is Johnny", they said together. Johnny gave Baby a look that said he expected them to start chanting double, double, toil, and trouble at any second. She held up her hand before he could say something that would seriously insult her friends. Even though they probably wouldn't figure out it was an insult until the next day.

"You know", said Baby trying to avoid a confrontation, "I think we should head out to dinner." She took Johnny by the arm. "Maybe we'll see you guys later", she called over her shoulder.
As soon as they got outside Johnny turned to her. "Who the hell are they? Were they vultures in another life or something?"

"They're my friends from school.", Baby said with a shrug.

"I'm not even going to go there", said Johnny shaking his head.

"Where should we go for dinner?" asked Baby absentmindedly.

"I can't go", Johnny said, rather flatly.

"Why not?"

"I have that thing at The Sheldrake. Hey, you wanna help? As I recall you didn't do so bad last time.

Baby took a moment to let the memories of dancing at The Sheldrake wash over her. It had been the first time she had really danced in front of people. She had missed a turn and chickened out on a lift, but it had been the proudest moment of her life.
"Hello", Johnny called, waving his hand in front of Baby's face.

"What? Sorry." Baby said snapping out of her daze.

"You. Me. The Sheldrake. The Mambo. Tonight. How about it?"

"Sure, why not?"
"Announcing, performing here for one night only, direct from Kellerman's mountain resort, Johnny Castle and Baby Hausman, in The Mambo."  Slightly shocked at the firm way Baby denied wanting to patch things up with Mike, Donna and Lela had decided to go for a drink. Unfortunately, Kellerman's had a strict rule. No ID, no alcohol. Upon finding this out the hard way, they had decided to find some place with a not so strict rule. Like, no ID, $20 bucks will do the trick.
When a booming voice had made this announcement they had been sitting at a table with two Martinis and a bottle of root beer, just so they wouldn't look so obvious. Lela would have sprayed her Martini everywhere if she hadn't been positive that Donna would have smacked her upside the head hard enough that she'd see stars.
Even when she did manage to swallow all she could say was "No way!" Both Girls watched in awe as Johnny and Baby took off. They gasped in fright as they started lifts, and clapped furiously when they finished them. When the performance was over they were the first ones to jump up and give a standing ovation.
