Authors Note:

Sorry for the late update, I was in Berlin for 5 days so it was kinda hard to do.
And sorry again, since this chapter is gonna be really short. We've been having trouble to think of something original..

Anyways, wehope you like it! And please review, we'd appreciate it! ;)

And so, we signed up for that crappy Dancing Contest. We had to be better than Rikku this time! We were happy with that 3rd spot, of course! But we really thought we'd end up first, I guess we were just naive. Rikku deserved that number one spot for sure, but now we have to beat her in this contest, no matter how many times we get barked at by that lady from the dance club!
Yeah, we decided to keep on doing those lessons, otherwise we'd never be able to beat Rikku. I don't know why we want to beat Rikku so badly, most likely because she's our cousin and we've always been a bit competitive towards each other. Anyways, we needed partners, and it was obvious who the victims would be --Shuyin and Tidus! So we went over to them to share the 'good news'.

"Hey you two!" Lenne began with a big smile on her face. "Hey!" Shuyin replied with an even bigger smile. He walked over to her and gave her a quick kiss. Lenne blushed furiously, as always.
I looked at Tidus and smiled at him. He smiled back but didn't seem to know what to say. Somehow it was hard for us to act like a couple all of a sudden, but that would come.

"We've got uh...great news for the two of you." I said sarcastically. "Oh really? What might that be?" Tidus said playfully.
"You're gonna be our partners in the Dancing Contest!" Lenne and I said at the same time.
"W-What?" Shuyin stuttered. "You're kidding, right?" Tidus continued. "I thought you knew that the two of us suck at dancing?"
"Well, we could ask some other boys to dance with us, of course." Lenne went on, messing around with her nails. "Yeah." I continued.
"Thee must abide by the rules of those women thee cares for." I said, trying to sound uh...intelligent. "You just made that up, didn't you?" Tidus asked. "…Of course not!" I said confidently, but my tomato-red head said enough.

The guys decided to go for it because they felt sorry for us. Yeah, they didn't wanna do it because of the fun. God, guys could be so harsh. Anyway, Rikku didn't know that we were still following the dance lessons and that we kept getting better. Even the dance instructor seemed impressed. We did different dances with the guys, which even included break-dance. I hated break-dance, but it was all part of the show. The last lesson before the dance contest we gave absolutely everything and the instructor clapped for us. ''There, it gives you an idea that you're doing it for something.'' her reply was, and we actually saw her smile.

''Yeah, we're doing it to kick Rikku's butt..'' Yuna sighed once we were outside. I put my hair into a ponytail and pulled my jogging pants a little bit higher.
''You know, next time I have to put on one of those pants too...they're so much easier to move in..'' Yuna said as she grabbed her bottle of water. ''They are the easiest pants to move around in, you mean.'' I giggled. ''Yeah yeah, that's what I said!'' Yuna smiled.
''Oh, yeah.'' I mumbled. ''Are you getting deafer by the minute?'' Yuna giggled teasinly. ''I guess.'' I answered exhausted.
''Alright ladaissss..'' Tidus began with a strange accent, ''We're off. Have a nice day''. He walked up to Yuna, kissed her on the cheek and left. Shuyin did the same with me. We waved them off and walked around the corner.
''Well, what are you doing here!'' a voice laughed out loud a while later. ''Seifer...What are you doing here, if I may ask.'' Yuna growled as she tried to get passed him. ''I was looking for thosewusses who 'somehow' or 'somewhat' kicked my butt.'' his reply was. Yuna solved this issue quickly by stamping on his foot and walking right passed him. We didn't have time for that, pff…

That evening Lenne and I sat on the couch at home. The Dancing Contest would take place the day after tomorrow, and we were already as nervous as hell. "What if Rikku turns out to be better than us!" I said frantically. "Then we'll have to participate in another contest.." Lenne sighed sarcastically.
"But we'll be first this time!" she continued confidently. "I hope you're right." I responded.
Then we just watched some TV-series and music videos and we tried to relax.
"I'd wanna sing and dance in a band." I said suddenly. "Write our own songs, perform on stage, or go on a tour and see the world!"
"Haha, that doesn't sound so bad! But I don't think we'd ever get that far. It would be hard." Lenne replied.
"Yeah I guess so, but a girl can dream, right?" I went on with a smile. Lenne laughed, we watched TV a bit more and went to sleep a while later.

The next day at school went along slowly, the lessons were as boring as ever, but somehow they seemed much longer than usual. I sighed as I looked at the math exercises on the blackboard. As always, I didn't understand it at all. Lenne seemed to be having problems with it too, considering she stared at the blackboard with a questionate look on her face. I laughed a bit, she looked funny that way. She was so focused on the exercises that she didn't even notice that. A few minutes later the bell rang and we got out of the classroom. We bumped into Rikku on our way to the cafeteria.

"Heeeey!" Rikku greeted happily.
"Hi Rikku, how are you?" I greeted back. "Oowh! I'm so nervous and giddy that I could just explode!" Rikku answered jumping. Lenne laughed.
"Are you ready for the Dancing Contest?" "You bet I am! There's no way you can beat me and Gippal!" Rikku answered smiling.
"We'll see about that.." I answered with a mischievous grin.
"Well, good luck to ya! I gotta go!" Rikku said, as she left still smiling and jumping.

A few hours later school was finally out, and Lenne and I looked for Shuyin and Tidus. "You don't think they chickened out on us, do you?" I said, a little bit worried. "Nah, they trained very hard too, I'm sure they want to show that they can actually dance too." Lenne reassured me.
"I guess you're right." I answered smiling, thinking back at how Tidus and Shuyin looked the first time they danced.
"There they are!" Lenne said suddenly, squeaking a bit. We walked over to them and greeted them. "Let's get going already!" I said as I couldn't stop myself from jumping around as well. And so the four of us left for Lenne's and my house to practise once more for the friggin' contest.

The music ended and Yuna nodded. ''Yep, that was good! Only Tidus you gotta move a little to the right. Yeah, that's better.''
''I don't feel like training anymore, we can't get any better then this.'' Shuyin mumbled. ''Yes we can. We want to be sure we beat Rikku, right? So c'mon, toughen up guys!''
Tidus and Shuyin both sighed and stroke trough their hair. ''Can we take a break then?'' Tidus pleaded with puppy-eyes.
''Okay okay. Have a seat.'' Yuna mumbled. I had to admit that I was sweating everywhere. I sat down and huffed. Yuna handed us drinks and for a while the room was filled with the sound of the four of us drinking.
''Ok. So I was thinking..'' Yuna continued. ''Yuun, please!'' Tidus and Shuyin responded at the same time. ''We've had enough for today!''
Yuna sighed. ''But we need to win!'' ''We will!'' us three answered. Yuna nodded. ''If you say so.''

The two boys left, yawning, I might add and I did the same. ''I am so tired, I never thought that dancing can be that tiring.'' ''Of course, it is.'' Yuna laughed. I growled. ''God, we need to eat as well.'' ''Let's order something..'' Yuna mumbled. We both agreed and she grabbed the phone.

Sorry it's so short, we hope the next one will be a bit longer and more interesting.
