A/N: So close to a finish, I can taste it! Major fluff in this chapter, hope you can handle it! Just kidding... enjoy! Remember to read and REVIEW!

The first act went off without a hitch. Except for Sam's last entrance, everyone was on cue. When Danny came in for his big number, he saw the crowd for the first time. The auditorium was packed to say the least. There wasn't a seat that wasn't occupied. In the low light, he could see his family in the front row and next to them, Tucker and Sam's families.

Once Danny got over the horror of performing for a full house, he got into his song. By the time Sam and Liz started Popular, he was at ease in front of everyone. Actually, he kind of enjoyed the thrill of it all.

When the curtain closed on Defying Gravity, there was an immediate standing ovation for Sam. Danny smiled broadly as he went to go see her. When he caught up with her before she went in the girls dressing room, she was swarmed by people congratulating her. She was so happy, she had tears in her eyes.

"Sam!" Danny called from the back of the crowd. He stood on his tiptoes to look over at Sam.

Sam saw Danny and made her way over to him. She smiled wider then ever and her eyes were gleaming with happiness.

"You were great, Sam," Danny said cheerfully, "You and Liz are amazing together."

Just then, another crowd swarmed around someone. From over the mass of people Danny and Sam noticed Liz's curled sandy hair. When the friends called her over, she found an escape out of her ever-growing fanclub and beamed up at Danny and Sam.

"I've never been so happy!" she squealed, "This is the first time something like this has ever happened to me!"

Her grey eyes sparkled with excitement and extreme happiness. Danny knew she deserved this after being in the background all these years, she was finally in the spotlight where she belonged.

"What about you Danny," Sam nudged him, "you were awesome! Your dancing surprised everyone."

"To say the least!" Liz exclaimed, "Paulina and the rest of the cheerleaders! Their mouths were practically on the ground!"

Before Danny could even ask why the cheerleaders were here, Mrs. Anderson ran up to them.

"You two," she pointed at Liz and Sam, "you need to change for the second act! Go now! There is less then ten minutes left!"

The girls immediately bolted for the dressing room and left Danny with Mrs. Anderson.

"And you," she looked at Danny franticly, "Go! Go! You need to get ready!" she shooed him off the boys dressing room and ran off to see to other issues.

-------------------------

It was when Sam and Alex McCarty (the Wizard), were singing Wonderful, that Danny realized what was going to happen during his next song. He quickly confided in the only person who'd know what to do.

"Liz!" he called in front of the girls dressing room door.

She opened the door so Danny could only see her face. He guessed that he probably didn't want to see the rest of her.

"What?" she asked, obviously annoyed that she was late getting into her latest ball gown.

"I need some advice," he explained.

"Now" she whined.

"It will only take a second."

"Fine," she gave in reluctantly.

"What should I do about the kissing scene?" Danny was practically begging for advice.

"A little tongue, not a full-on French," with that, she closed the door.

-----------------------------

Danny waited anxiously outside the stage door for his cue. This was it. The kissing scene he had been waiting for for about two months. He knew in the back of his head that his friendship with Sam would probably never be the same. It was as he was thinking this over that his cue came. He went out on stage with Sam and they sat in the middle of the stage, mist all around their feet.

"Kiss me too fiercely, hold me too tight. I need help believing you're with me tonight. My wildest dreams could not foresee lying beside you with you wanting me." Sam looked straight into Danny's eyes and never looked away.
"And just for this moment, as long as you're mine. I've lot all resistance and crossed some borderline. And if it turns out it's over too fast I'll make every last moment last as long as you're mine."

The melody had been haunting Danny's dreams forever and now was the time to truly confess his love to Sam.
"Maybe I'm brainless, maybe I'm wise, but you've got me seeing through different eyes. Somehow I've fallen under your spell and somehow I'm feeling it's up that I fell!"
Both of them sang with passion into each other's eyes, "Every moment, as long as you're mine. I'll wake up my body and make up for lost time!"
"Say there's no future for us as a pair…" Danny pulled Sam closer to him.
"And though 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 through, and know I'll be here holding you as long as you're mine!"

As Danny pulled Sam in for the kiss, she whispered in his ear, "I've always loved you."

They looked into each other's eyes, blue against purple. They were in their own little world. Then they kissed. A kiss like never before! When they finally managed to pull apart, they were smiling ear to ear.

"What is it?" Danny asked.
"It's just…for the first time, I feel...wicked." The crowd stood up and cheered as they kissed again.
