These characters don't belong to me. I just borrowed them for a while.
Author's notes: I had a dream that Niles and CC were forced to dance with each other by Fran and Max so that started Dying to dance.
Dying to Dance
2006
"I need a man. Right now!" Max yelled. Those were the famous words that started
a chain reaction that the four of them, mostly CC, was not ready for. It would change
their lives forever. Max paced the floor of the office.
"This play starts in just two weeks and I don't have a crew. I don't have a leading lady
and my leading man just quit. What am I going to do?"
Max stopped at the window looking out to the terrace wondering if he should go out
there.
"Relax, Max," CC drove her hands through her cropped hair-yet another mistake getting
it cropped by someone new. They cut too much of it off. "I have the perfect leading lady
for the show."
Max turned to face her. "Who?"
"Me." CC smiled at him.
"Who?" Max repeated again. Fran came in just as CC was pleading to Max.
"Max, I want to be in this play. I know all of it."
"This is a big show. We have a lot riding on it. I just don't think….."
"Why? What do they have that I don't?"
"They're all women." Niles laughed.
"But…." They were both interrupted by Fran's nasal voice she was so famous for having.
"Oy, just give her a chance."
"What?" both Max and CC said at the same time.
"How many times have you let me do things?" Niles poured some coffee. This was going
to get interesting.
"And how many of those times have I regretted allowing you to do?" Max reminded her.
"Yeah but at least I was given the chance." Fran glanced over at CC who was sitting on
the love seat. She winked at her. "Whata you afraid of? That the show will be a hit and it
would be all because of her. That she might actually be a good dancer and show ya up."
"And how would you know?" CC protested not quite understanding what Fran was
doing.
"I've seen you when Val and me have gone out."
"Oh, um…" everyone is now staring at Max, which is making him uncomfortable.
"All right. I'll have to put you though the tryouts." CC sat back on the couch.
"Great I got in. I just want the time that I deserve in the spot light."
"Now you will have to have a partner for this CC."
"Good luck finding anyone that would want to dance with a dog." Niles left the room shaking his head. "No one is going to do that?"
CC glared at him. She was not going to let him ruin the rest of her day.
"Now I need to make some calls to find a leading man."
"Aren't we all." Fran said. Max glared over at her. Getting the hint she left the office at once Niles was still in the hallway. "Niles, my mother's coming by for lunch so we better start now." Niles looked at his watch. It was only 10am. Niles always hated when Sylva comes over for lunch but he never complains about it to Fran. He just rolled his eyes.
