Katey stood nervously in her green dress with Javier. It was New Years Eve and $10,000 was at stake. They wanted – and needed – that money. Eve and James stood across from them, looking snotty as ever. Jeannie, Bert, Susie, and Havana were out in the audience. Mr. and Mrs. Phelps sat with Stanley and Albert. Eve's daughter, from her boyfriend in Cuba sat with them. Eve treated Rachel different, but she was still a spoiled snob like her mother. As the dance floor cleared, Javier could see someone familiar in the audience. It was Carlos! His wife, Miralda was there also. Rafael and his baby sister, Luisa, were there as well. Javier looked at Katey as if to say "Did you know?"
"Merry Christmas," Katey smiled.
Javier wrapped his arms around her. Their hug was broken when the announcer told them they were first. They flawlessly repeated their routine. Katey twirled perfectly. Javier dipped her perfectly. They danced as one and as if they wanted to be in each others arms. They were a match made in heaven. Now it was time for Eve and James.
They started out fine. Eve gracefully spun around the dance floor, her red dress twirling behind her. James dipped her and spun her away from him. Eve lost her footing and fell flat on her face.
"Oh dear!" some of the audience member shouted. Javier did his best to keep from laughing. Katey nudged him as if to say stop, and he caught her drift. James stomped his feet and acted all mad. He pulled Eve to her feet and gave her a look. She wiped the tears from her eyes as she looked at Rachel, Stanley, and Albert. James dragged her offstage and yelled at her as soon as they were out of earshot.
"The $10,000 prize goes to Javier and Katey Suarez. Congratulations!"
Katey and Javier proudly walked onto the floor and accepted their check. They were all smiles for the rest of the month.
Epilogue
One Year Later
Javier and Katey sat in the backyard of their four bedroom house with the white picket fence that they bought with their prize money. Havana, now three, ran around the yard with her doll, chasing their dog, Freddie. The twins had just turned one. Right after the dance contest, Katey became pregnant with twins. The oldest was a boy named Edward Javier Suarez. They called him Eddie. The youngest was a girl. Katey named her Victoria Elizabeth Suarez. They both had dark brown hair and eyes like Javier. Their skin was relatively pale, like Katey's. Over the summer, Katey noticed that Havana's brown hair was turning blonde. She was born with Katey's blue eyes. All three children had Javier's charming smile.
They lived in peace. Javier had a good job and Katey stayed home with the babies. Bert, Jeannie, and Susie were close by. Katey had got everything she had always wanted out of life. A kind husband, three beautiful children, and an education of life no school could give her.
AN: That was it. I'm not sure if they could buy a house for $10,000, but they did so oh well. I hope you liked it. I enjoyed reading it and I hope to write more stories about Dirty Dancing and maybe other movies. I have another story in the Open Range category if you'd like to read that, Button's Tale. Thanks for reading this. Please review and let me know what you think.
