"Sylva," Niles started as he opened the back door leading into the kitchen. "Good timing."

"Something smells wonderful Niles."

"Thank you. I just got finished making…."

"We'll take it Neal," Yetta calls as she went in and had a seat at the table. Sylva was telling Fran about the latest gossip when Sylva mentioned that a one Doug was here in town.

"He's back in town? Why is Doug back. I thought he was never coming back."

"Well," Sylva swallowed, "He did and he wants to see ya."

"Wha? Whatta tell him?"

"Frannie dear we told him that you meet with him." Yetta responded.

"Ma," Fran gets up from the table, "How could ya."

"Well, darling look at you." Fran looks down thinking that she has dropped something on her, "you're thirty…."

"Uh um…" Fran clears her throat turns and sits back down. This Doug was one of Fran's old dates from high school. She really didn't want to see him again. Not after what happened about oh say five years ago. Last thing she knew was that Doug gambled for a living.

"Why all this time to come back."

"I think he wants to find a job." Sylva reacted.

"You didn't tell him about Mista Sheffield did ya ma?"

"Some."

"Ma, how…." Fran snaps her fingers. Fran's mind: That's it ! I'll tell Mr. Sheffield I have the perfect person for his play. That will keep Doug's mind off me.

CC made the cut, to go on. Doug the one that, Ms Fine suggested to Max, for his tryouts also made the cut.

"Ok, I'm not too big to admit it but I'm impressed." Max said calling out the rest of his crew. "At both of you." Max's mind: I can't believe the two of them, the two that Ms Fine of all people suggested to me, showed me that they had talent. I uh…umm…maybe she does have some sense of casting after all. Max wanted to teach CC some of the moves so they, well he decided to use Niles to teach them to her.

"What? Why me sir? Shouldn't her partner be doing this?" Niles asked as he let out a sigh.

"He's not available and you're the only one that we can trust." Fran said.

"Cause I want her to watch me. So I needed you."

"But sir…." he thought about it. He tried to take the opportunity to get something out of nothing. "Do I get anything for it?

"Why is everything about money to you?"

"Well….this is a hard job to get her to agree to."

"Point well taken. We will see." Fran talked to CC but she didn't want to do it with him.

"You wanted to be in this play didn't you?" asked Max when he found out from Fran that CC refused.

"Well, Yeah,"

"Then do this for me." She hesitated

Max got behind CC and pushed her towards Niles, while Fran was pushing Niles forward towards her. He kept shaking his head "This is not going to work."

"It will." Fran told him. When they got them close enough to each other. Fran took hold of Niles' sleeve she placed it around CC waist.

"Come on you can do this. Just pretend that she's say me." She whispered to him.

"Yeah that will be the day." Fran chuckled at that. Max took hold CC's arms and placed them around Niles' neck.

"I know that you have danced before CC. Just pretend, it's me there just to humor me some."

"Well,"

"Come on you two it's not that hard to do." Both stared at each other. Niles winked. She nodded. They had both danced with each other before. They just didn't want Nanny Fine to know it. "Good that's it. Now watch,'" Max started. "Let the man lead." CC and Max worked late nights of almost two months.
