A/N: okay... chapter 2! OMG all my reviewers rock out loud! Keep them comin'!lol

Thursday seemed to last forever but soon, it was the end of the school day.

"Attention students," Mr. Lancer's voice came over the loudspeaker, "try-outs for the school musical will start today for the following parts; Madame Morrible, Dr. Dillamond, The Wizard, and the chorus. Tomorrow's try-out's will be for; Elphaba, Glinda, Boq, and Nessarose. I encourage you all to try-out."

Danny, Sam, and Tucker ran out of class as soon as the bell rang.

"Sam, can you help me with my try-out song?" Danny asked.

"Sure Danny. Your house?" Sam said thoughtfully.

"Yea," he replied.

"I've made a decision." Tucker stated. "I'm going to ask Lancer if he needs help working the lights and sounds and other technical stuff."

"That's great." Danny said, not really paying attention too well.

"Good for you, Tucker." Sam said with some enthusiasm.

"I'll go ask him now," Tucker said as he spotted Lancer coming out of the office, "Bye, guys! See you tomorrow!"

"Bye!" Sam and Danny called after him.

"Come on, Danny. Let's go practice that song." Sam led Danny away.

Sam and Danny sat up in Danny's room in an awkward silence.

"So," Sam had broken the stillness in the air, "there are two songs that Fiyero sings a lot in." She was flicking through his papers and humming Defying Gravity as she did so.

"Ah," she said, "here they are, Dancing through Life and As Long as You're Mine."

"As long as you're what!" Danny forgot she was reading song titles.

"As Long as You're Mine." Sam blushed, "Do you want to hear it?" she asked awkwardly.

"Sure," Danny replied, blushing also.

Sam crossed the room to Danny's stereo and put in a CD from her bag.

"This CD doesn't have the words on it," Sam said as she fiddled with all the knobs and buttons, "only the music. I'll help you sing it."

She pressed play and the music started. It was slow music, Danny had expected that. He looked down at his music and waited for Sam to sing so he could follow along.

"This part, someone else sings, I'm pretty sure it's Glinda, I can't remember. Your entrance is coming up."

They waited awhile, listening to the music when Sam spoke, "Here's your entrance. I'll sing with you."

Sam started to sing along with the music, "Maybe I'm brainless, maybe I'm wise, but you've got me seeing through different eyes." Sam motioned for Danny to sing. Danny realized with horror that he had been staring at her.

He immediately looked down at his paper and sang. "Somehow I've fallen under your spell and somehow I'm feeling it's up that I fell!"

Sam joined in with Danny, "Every moment, as long as you're mine, I'll wake up my body
and make up for lost time."
Sam sat back and watched Danny sing for a moment, "Say there's no future, for us as a pair."
Sam joined in with him, "And though I know I may know, I don't care! Just for this moment, as long as you're mine, come be how you want to and see how bright we shine!
Borrow the moonlight until it is though and know I'll be here holding you…as long as you're mine."

They held out the last note for a long time before ending it together.

"Wow," was all Sam could manage to say.

"You were—you were good." Danny stumbled over his own words.

"So were you," Sam smiled, "just do that at the try-out and you'll surely get the part." Sam picked up her bag and walked out.

"Very good." Danny gave a half smile and turned the CD on again and practiced all night.
