A/N: sorry it took me so long to write this but I wanted to wait till school was over. I just got into Honors English for next year and that makes me feel like I can write anything! Anyway, enjoy the chapter and reviews are VERY welcome!

"Sam, when I sing the line 'So- what's the most swankified place in town', how long do I hold out the word 'town' for?" Danny asked Sam as they walked, without even looking up from his script.

"No, you don't sing that line. That's in Dancing through Life right? No, you say that line," she answered him, flipping back in her script as well. They reached Sam's doorstep and walked up to her room. Sam sat on her bed, while Danny found a chair by Sam's desk. He looked down at his script frustrated.

"Man, I'm never going to get this!" He slammed the book shut and folded his arms like a bratty 5-year-old.

All Sam could do was chuckle and admire how cute Danny looked when he was mad. She tore her eyes off him with a blush and got up to put in the CD.

"Here, why don't we try singing one before you give up."

She pressed play and the blaring sound of a full Broadway orchestra blasted in their ears. Danny was knocked off guard and fell backwards in his tipped-back chair. Sam turned down the volume and went over to help Danny up.

"Wow," he groaned as he attempted to stand again, "I didn't know it was that loud."

"Neither did I," Sam said laughing as she put out her hand to help him. Danny took it and Sam pulled him up. They looked at each other and blushed bright red.

"Thanks," Danny said as he looked down at the ground.

"No problem," She said quietly, looking at the ground as well.

There was an embarrassing awkward silence before either of them dared look at each other.

"Well," Danny said, startling Sam out of her fantasy world, "we better get back to the…singing thing."

"Yea," Sam agreed, as she turned red, grabbed her script, and jumped on her bed.

Danny picked up his chair and sat down again. A new song had started since Danny had fallen over, he look in his script and was instantly lost.

"A, Sam… what song is this?" He blindly flipped through pages.

"What is this feeling," She answered as she read her script.

"What feeling?" Danny asked (he only knew about 5 of the songs). Had she felt the same thing he had with that one touch?

"Very funny Danny," Sam looked up at him, shook her head and went on reading.

"What!" Danny said, genuinely perplexed.

"The song, Danny! The song is called, What is this feeling." Sam blushed harder then ever. Was he thinking what she thought he was thinking?

Danny realized how stupid he must have sounded and turned scarlet yet again. He turned back in his script and found that the song in question, What is this feeling?, was number 4 and was sung by Elphaba and Galinda. He followed along as the original cast sang their hearts out.

Haha, this is a great song, Danny thought as Elphaba made fun of Galinda for being blonde, Sam and Paulina will sing this perfectly together.

That's when Danny remembered Liz. She looked so upset when she saw the list. Danny thought about calling her, when Sam's phone rang.

She turned down the music lower and answered. "Hello?" she asked in a confused way. The only people who ever called her on her private line was Danny and Tucker. Danny was with Sam and Tucker was still at school talking to Lancer.

Danny heard a loud, high-pitched, excited-girl scream and Sam pulled the phone away from her ear.

"Liz?" Sam questioned. Danny heard some fast, inaudible words and Sam screamed.

"What!" Danny thought it was something horrible and stood up in concern.

"Oh my God! This is great Liz!" Sam squealed and looked at the questioning Danny, "Yes, he's here. (more inaudible mumbling) Yes, of course I'll tell him. Okay, see you on Monday. Bye."

Sam put the phone down and squealed again. Now Danny was really confused.

"Sam, what is it!" He almost screamed at her.

"Paulina dropped out, so Liz is the new Galinda for the musical!" She could hardly get the words out fast enough.

"Really!" Danny was amazed. How could Paulina drop out? In Danny's eyes, Paulina was perfect for the role; pretty, popular, and perfect. Everything he had heard about Galinda was a Paulina trait.

"Yea, she lost her voice or something and her parents think it was the stress of all her extracurricular activities, so she dropped the play instead of cheerleading." Sam was too excited about Liz getting the role to even make fun of Paulina or cheerleading.

Once Sam got over her excitement fit, her and Danny got back to singing. They went through the first 14 songs, singing their parts in any spots they had lines and breaking at points to read the speaking lines. When they flipped the page to the next song, the words As Long As You're Mine were written across the top of the page. When Danny looked at who sang it with him, he saw Elphaba instead of Galinda.

"Hey Sam, I thought you said Galinda sang this with me," he asked blushing. This was a love song that he had to sing to Sam! This was going to be hard.

"Number one," Sam said, "at this point, her name is Glinda, the Ga is silent." She said, imitating one of the lines. "And number two, I thought she did sing this." Sam spoke calmly but inside, she was screaming. She had to sing a love song to Danny! This was going to be hard.

"Oh well," Danny went on, trying to him his crimson face, "lets just sing it." Although he was so nervous he could hardly breathe, he loved the idea of singing a passionate song to Sam.

They started to sing and were both amazed that they could get the words out when they were so nervous. Once they turned the page for the last line of the song, both gasped. In parenthesis after the last line of the song, the script read the words that they were both dreading (and secretly wishing) for:

(They embrace and kiss passionately)
