Lena's jaw dropped open so far she felt like a cartoon character. She blinked several ties to try and clear the image from her eyes, but no such luck. Standing in the corner of her partnering class was George Wickham, her ex. What the HELL was he doing here? Fortunately, Lena was able to pull herself together before George's eyes found her.

"Baby!" George called. "You're in this class? What a coincidence!"

"WHAT THE FUCKING HELL ARE YOU DOING HERE AND WHAT GIVES YOU THE IDEA YOU CAN FUCKING CALL ME BABY ANYMORE?" Lena screamed drawing the attention of everyone in the room.

"Baby! What kind of attitude is that? You have got to lighten up. The new studio wanted me to take some partnering lessons considering I dropped the last girl I was working with, and turns out that the director knows your teacher and was able to get me into this class." George replied jovially completely ignoring her earlier tone.

"Whatever George. You call me come near me or call me baby again while you are in this class and I will remove your damn balls okay?" Lena said in a menacing voice.

"Calm down...I'll leave you alone." George answered finally catching on to Lena's anger. The teacher, Mrs. Beaumont, entered the scene, and sensing the tension said,

"Well, I see you've all met George Wickham. He is going to be in our class for the rest of the year, so get used to seeing him. Now, pair off everyone!" Everyone scurried to find their partner, and thankfully Lena was able to snag Carlos her usual partner and avoid George. The class went relatively smoothly. At the end of class, Mrs. Beaumont made an announcement.

"All right class, I have some exciting news. Starting next week we will have another new addition to our class. He is a famous dancer, and I was fortunate enough to get him to agree to help out with this class for the rest of the year."

"Who's it going to be?' someone asked.

"Now that is a surprise!" she replied. "See everyone here next week!"

"I wonder who it's going to be!" Sophie said when Lena told her the news. "Now I wish I had signed up for partnering. Seriously, she said it was a he? God, if he is hot I'm going to try and transfer into that class!"

"Sophie!' Lena admonished her friend. "You have a boyfriend now! Oh, speaking of, you remember me telling you about the ex George? Well, he showed up in my class today. We had a huge fight in front of the entire class. I really hope that he stays the hell away from me."

"You're JOKING? That jerk is here. Hey, if I run into him can I kick him in the balls?" Sophie asked.

"Hah! Be my guest!" Lena returned.

"...So, as you can see, we think it is best if I move in with him." Janie concluded to her stunned roommates.

'You want to move in with Bagel?" Lena asked in disbelief "But, what about me! You're just going to leave your favourite sister behind all alone!"

"Hey!" protested Sophie. "You won't be all alone. I think it's a wonderful idea Janie. When are you going to move out?"

"Bagel wants me to move in in the next week. Please don't be mad Lena. I'll only be just off campus. We'll still see each other all the time!"

"I know Janie; it will just be the first time that we aren't living together in our whole lives. I'm just a little upset about it, but it had to happen sometime. Of course you should move in with Bagel." Lena told her sister.

"If it means that much to you, I will stay." Janie offered.

"No, besides, I'll finally get my own room!" Lena assured Janie. "You should move in with Bagel."

"I just don't know what I'm going to do without her Toph." Lena said. She had come to see him as soon as Janie had fallen asleep. However much she had reassured her sister it was the right thing to do, she couldn't help but feel abandoned.

"Oh sweetie," Toph replied, "You had to let her go sometime. Besides, you still have me and Sophie and Janie will be around all the time."

" I know, I know!" Lena sighed. "Oh, you're going to love this. Guess who joined my partners' class today?"

"George Clooney." Toph answered playfully.

"I wish. Nope a different George." Lena said.

"No! No no fucking way!" Toph cried when it dawned on him. "That little fucker!"

"I know. If he knows what is good for him he will stay the HELL away from me. The fact that I threatened his balls might help too." Lena said.

"Hah! Good for you! Dickham deserves it." Toph laughed. "You feeling better about the Janie thing?"

"Yeah, it'll all be good. Thanks Toph."

Lena came to terms with her sisters moving and even threw herself head first into helping Janie move all of her stuff and get settled. The two promised to still see each other as much as humanly possible and call each other all the time.

The next Thursday, Lena walked into her partners class excited about the prospect of their surprise assistant and dreading seeing George, or as she had fondly began to think of him thanks to Toph, Dickhead, again. Dickhead was in the far corner, and thankfully stayed there even though he saw her. Lena stayed on the opposite side of the room from him and speculated with the others about who the mystery man was going to be. Finally, Mrs. Beaumont entered the room and called the class's attention.

"Now, I know all of you are going to be excited about our guest. In fact, I'm expecting a few squeals from the female percentage of the class. So, to end your suspense, let me introduce to you Mr. Fitz Darcy!" she announced proudly. The class applauded Will as he entered the classroom. Mrs. Beaumont was right in the fact that some of the girls squealed at the attractive dancer. However, one girl looked particularly stunned. She was wondering why her love interests had a penchant for showing up in her class. Will surveyed the class and was shocked to notice that Lena was among the dancers standing around the room. Would he ever be free of this girl?

"Now, so that this might be a bit easier on Mr. Darcy, everyone form a circle with your partner and we are going to play a name game. Now, how this works is, as we go around the circle each duo will introduce themselves and complete a partner move. The next couple in the line will then repeat the previous groups' move and name and then introduce themselves and do another move. After we have completed one time around the circle, we will go around again and everyone will be expected to remember each partner's names and move." Mrs. Beaumont proclaimed. Lena and the others searched for their partners around the room. Unfortunately, Lena could not find Carlos. She approached the instructor and asked her if she had seen him.

"Oh, I'm terribly sorry Lena. Carlos broke his ankle yesterday and will be out for at least a month." Mrs. Beaumont informed her.

"No! Who am I supposed to dance with? Everyone else already has a partner!" Lena asked frantically. "I don't want to make another group lose valuable practice time by having to include me."

"Not to worry, you can dance with Fitz." Mrs. Beaumont said. Will, hearing what he was being volunteered for turned his head sharply. "You don't mind do you Fitz?"

"Of course not." he replied shortly. "I'd be happy to fill in with Miss Bennett."

"Oh! So you two already know each other? Perfect!" Mrs. Beaumont said, and then she left the two alone and walked to the circle of dancers.

"I am so sorry about this Lena." Will said the moment the teacher was out of ear shot.

"Well, whatever, lets just get this the hell over with." Lena replied. The two took their place in the circle. Mrs. Beaumont started the circle with them.

"I am Fitz Darcy." Will said.

"I am Lena Bennett." Lena said. She then leaned over and asked Will, "What move are we going to do?"

"We are going to do a (a/n: I haven't danced in three years, and I never did partnering so insert your favourite slightly difficult step here.)" Will said. And they did. Flawlessly. Halfway through the class, they got to Dickham and his partner Maria. As he introduced himself, Lena heard Will sharply inhale and tense. After class, Lena stopped Will before he could leave the class.

"We need to talk." she said.
