A/N: sorry for how short this chapter is! Don't worry, I'll make sure the next chapter is longer. So this is an exaggeration of me and my friend's first play practice where we had to learn an impossible dance when niether of us had ever reallydanced before. I hope you like it!

As soon as the bell rang at the end of the day, Danny, Sam, Tucker, and Liz were approached by Mrs. Anderson.

"Hello, children," she smiled, "Are you all ready for practice?"

"Yes," they all said at once.

"Good," Mrs. Anderson started to walk away, "I need to find Mr. Lancer, you kids go the auditorium."

The auditorium door was right across the hall, so the four friends were the first ones there. After just a few minutes of waiting, all the people playing the principal parts were there. By 3:15, when Mrs. Anderson came in, the entire cast and chorus were sitting in groups in the seats or on the stage. Mrs. Anderson walked over to the stage and stood where everyone could see and hear her.

"Welcome children!" she announced to get everyone's attention, "Gather 'round! We have a lot to do and very little time to do it all in."

Danny, Sam, and Liz were sitting in the front row when everyone came over. (Tucker had gone off to the computer lab with the rest of the lighting and effects crew.)

"I was just over in art room," Mrs. Anderson continued, "and Ms. Straub has the set crew building and painting the sets already! The new technology teacher, Mr. Tomerco, is assisting the electrical crew and getting the lights and effects ready in the computer lab. Also, I just spoke with the students in the stage crew and they are overseeing the entire operation!" Mrs. Anderson seemed to burst with excitement, "Now all we need to do is get this show on the road!"

With that, all the drama kids got on dancing shoes, while Danny and Sam jumped up on stage in their sneakers.

"What kind of shoes are those?" Danny asked Liz (who was in the drama club).

"They're jazz shoes. They're really comfortable and you can dance easier in them than regular sneakers."

Danny made a mental note to get a pair before the show. Just then, the dance teacher, Mrs. G, got on stage (wearing the jazz shoes).

She instructed everyone to start stretching. The kids in the drama club, who had taken dance before, started doing pretzel-like stretches. Danny and Sam, who had absolutely no dance experience whatsoever, look at each other. Neither of them wanted to look like a fool, so they attempted to follow Liz.

While doing a leg stretch, Liz looked over at her two friends. Their faces were twisted and they couldn't do the stretch all the way. Although Sam was doing much better then Danny, they both look like they weren't handling it well. Liz laughed at them. They both gave her dirty looks and went back to attempting to stretch.

Once they were done, Liz went over to the aching Danny and Sam.

"Wow," she giggled, "if you guys can't do the stretches, I can't wait to see how you dance." Danny and Sam were concerned themselves to see what would happen.

Luckily for Liz and Sam, they got to choreograph For Good with Mrs. Anderson, while the rest of the cast worked strenuously on Dancing through Life. The beginning, Danny thought, was easy. Basically, all he had to do was jump around to the music. But once they got to the Ozdust Ball part, it got hard. Most of the chorus members were in the drama club, so they could do the dance with ease. The only problem with the dance: Danny. He stepped on six peoples feet, including Mrs. G, and he fell on his face four times. He new the moves, he just couldn't do it. He spent the entire after school practice on that one song. Soon, it was time to leave and Danny was coated in sweat. Sam and Liz laughed at a joke as they walked over to where Danny collapsed.

"What happened to you?" Liz asked as she saw how much he was sweating.

"Dance happened." He stated in a groan. He was aching from head to toe.

Sam and Liz looked at each other and each put one of Danny's arms over their shoulders and dragged him home.
