Once again I don't own any of the original Dirty Dancing characters, I do however own Christian and Tanner.

Please review, I LOVE reviews, it makes my day when someone has something to say about what I've written (good or bad). I'm very interested to hear what people think, and if there is anything I should improve on. Thanks.

Thank you very much to the people that have reviewed so far, I appreciate the positive feedback. I love this movie so much and I'm having a super time writing the sequel, I hope you all enjoy it as much as I do.

Chapter 5

The next day while I was walking down by the lake, I heard what sounded like singing off in the distance. My curiosity took over and I followed the sound.

I approached a clearing in the brush that was all too familiar; I quickly realized that it was the field where Johnny had first tried to teach me lifts. Peering through the bushes I could see a figure moving around in the field, so I moved in closer to get a better look.

Upon entering the clearing I saw that it was Christian, he was dancing and singing, and surprisingly well I might add, well the dancing was good anyway; he probably could use to take some singing lessons.

I made sure to stay off to the side and close to the brush so that he wouldn't notice me watching. I watched him for some time, as he jumped and twirled around. Just then I heard rustling coming from the bushes behind me, as I turned to see what was there, I was quickly scooped up into Johnny's arms. I let out a rather loud yelp as my feet were taken out from under me.

He kissed me and for a moment I completely forgot what I was even doing out in that field. He smiled; glad to see me but obviously wondering what I was doing. Still suspended in Johnny's arms I remembered what had brought me out there in the first place, I put my finger up to his lips and pointed out into the clearing, telling him to be quiet and watch. But as I turned I realized that it was too late, Christian had heard me cry out and had stopped dancing. He looked a little embarrassed as he turned and quickly walked away.

I felt a little bad about spying on Christian, but now that he was gone I looked up at Johnny and I knew exactly what he was thinking. We were alone, in a field, so why not take advantage of the opportunity that had presented itself.

Still holding me in his arms, I kicked off my shoes as Johnny knelt in the tall grass and laid me down. It was amazing; I loved the feel of his warm strong hands on me as he caressed my back.

All of a sudden we both stopped as we heard voices approaching. Realizing that we were about to be caught if we didn't hurry, we both scrambled to quietly get our clothes on. Just as Johnny got his last shirt button done up we saw Lisa and Billy enter the clearing.

They weren't easily fooled by our attempt to look like we were just strolling along. I could tell by the look on Billy's face that he knew exactly what we were up to.

"Hey Cuz," Johnny called over, "what are you two doing here?"

Billy just smiled and replied, "We could ask you the same question."

I could feel my face turning red as we stood there.

Lisa chimed in, "Baby!" I could hear the shock in her voice, "what would mom and daddy think?" She should have known better than to ask me a question like that. When it came to Johnny, it didn't matter what anyone thought, I did whatever I wanted with him, and being the rebellious type that he was, we would do just about anything together.

Billy still just stood there with a knowing smile on his face, then looked over at Lisa and asked, "how come we never go for strolls in empty fields?" Lisa just let out a shocked little gasp, trying to sound innocent, which I knew full well she wasn't.

***************

The following evening Johnny and Penny were schedule to perform, I sat on the old wood chair in the corner of the room while Johnny changed into his tux.

"So," I asked, "how's Penny doing?"

"Real good, "he replied, "She's had a rough year after all that happened last summer, but she's getting things back on track."

"Good for her, I knew that everything would work out." Johnny just stared at me as I spoke the words that he had heard me say a hundred times before. I always managed to look on the bright side and see that there had to be a way out of every situation. He struggled with the concept, and still couldn't understand how I managed to have such an optimistic view of the world.

"As hard as I try," Johnny began, "I just can't understand how you always manage to be so positive all time." He sat down on the edge of his unmade bed, his hands clasped between his knees.

"I don't know," I replied as I stood from the chair and walked over to him. Kneeling down on the floor, I positioned myself between his knees and gave him a light kiss on his bare chest.

I continued, "I guess I just figure that there's no point in dwelling on the negative things. If something bad happens then you just have to deal with it and why not try to deal with it in the most positive way possible?"

Johnny smiled and put his arms around me, I half stood, leaning my body weight against him forcing him to lean back onto the bed. We began to kiss as he rolled me over onto my back and I wrapped my legs around his waist.

"Okay, okay, as much as I would rather stay here and do this with you, I really have to get going." Johnny sounded so responsible as he stood up ad started fastening the buttons on his shirt. I looked at him with a slight pout on my face, before I stood and began undoing the buttons that he had just fastened. He looked down at me with an amused grin as I pushed his shirt out of my way and proceeded to hug him and kiss his chest. My advances persuaded him for several minutes as we kissed and fooled around a bit longer, but much to my dismay he remembered that he was running late.
