Before reading this, if you haven't heard Ashley Tisdale's version of 'Kiss the girl' I would first listen to it. It's on you tube. Type in Ashley Tisdale kiss the girl and you'll find it. I changed some of the lyrics to work with the story but it's still awesome. Sorry it took so long, here it is.

Maddie walked into the Tipton, almost late as usual, mostly because her bus pass expired and she had to find another ride to work. As soon as she got to the candy counter and flipped the sign over to open while dropping off her backpack, she paused for a moment to look at the clock.

Could it be?

The clock read 10:00am…but her watch said 10:58.

"Mr. Moesby?" Maddie asked in confusion as Marion Moesby walked by the counter "Is that clock right?"

Moesby turned in surprise and saw Maddie at the counter "Why Maddie" He stated, slightly surprised "You're here early. Amazing! Oh…yes, that clock is right. I'm glad to see your eagerness to get to work on time is finally kicking in. Especially since its labor day weekend and the guests are pouring in! Carry on!"

Maddie rolled her eyes and slumped over on the counter. Great, she was early. She was already bored, and her shift hadn't even started. She looked at the clock again. Yes there was still 10:00.

"Well" she thought to herself "at least I get to see Esteban clock in at 10:30, but what to do till then?"

Maddie sighed and dug through her backpack pockets, seeing if she had anything of interest to mess around with till then. Too bad she left her cell phone at home. Maddie unzipped all of the pockets, and almost giving up as she reached into the last pocket, she struck gold. Her mini MP3 player that she shared with her sister . She must of accidentally left it in their somehow.

Taking it, Maddie hurried into the stage hall, knowing that it was almost always closed in the mornings, and she could be alone.

She looked around quickly and jumped on the edge of the stage and sat down. Flipping through her MP3 list, she came across a Disney song, probably something her little sister added. Sighing, ready to skip the song, she stopped and listened.

The song was the karaoke version of 'kiss the girl'. It's the song Sebastian sang from the little mermaid about her kissing the boy. Maddie looked down sadly.

It'd been only a few days ago since she first kissed Esteban. She really missed his kiss, especially since they hadn't really gotten a chance to do it again since then. Maddie sighed and started to hum the songs tune. Remembering the words to the song, Maddie finally decided to sing along. She stood up, but before turning the song back on, she saw an open input plug port to the Stage sound system. Smiling, she plugged her MP3 player into the input and listened as the music filled the room. Grabbing the microphone from the mike stand, Maddie cleared her throat and began to sing to the empty crowd.

Or so she thought.

"ooohhh….kiss the girl"

"Ohhhh…kiss the girl" Maddie sang beautiful, starting to dance to the music slightly.

Esteban ran through the doors of the Tipton hurriedly, trying to figure out why Moesby had paged him so early. Noting Moesby at the front desk reading the newspaper, Esteban stood at attention and waited for Moesby to notice him.

"Ahh, Esteban" Moesby sighed while putting down the front page "Thank goodness you're here."

"I came as soon as I could Mr. Moesby" Esteban said concerned "What do you need?"

Moesby sighed "Well, Arwin is unfortunately at his mothers house, sick in bed, and we don't have someone to fix the chandelier in the stage hall…could you do it?"

"Of course Mr. Moesby" Esteban joyfully stated "But will I get a raise?"

"Well, since its labor day weekend and you're working just a half an hour extra, how about twenty dollars?"

"How about a raise instead, Mr. Moesby?"

"How about I fire you?"

"Twenty dollars sounds good to me" Esteban quickly spat out while running towards the mechanic room doors "It'll do just fine."

Kiss the girl

Esteban started to walk towards the stage hall entrance with the tools in his hand, but froze for a moment. There was music coming from the stage hall. But there wasn't anyone supposed to be there. Esteban decided to go to the stage entrance and see what was happening.

Probably just Carrie rehearsing or something, Esteban thought as he creaked open the door. But instead he saw…was it Maddie, Esteban thought in confusion.

Esteban closed the door softly and hid behind the back curtain and set his tools down. Pulling the curtain a little back, Esteban peaked through as Maddie grabbed the Microphone and began to sing.

"There you see her, sitting there across the way"

She don't got a lot to say, but there something about her."

Esteban smiled. He knew that song, his sister sang it all the time back at his country.

"And you don't know why but you're dying to try, you wanna kiss the girl"

Esteban blushed. Oh how that song knew exactly how he felt.

"Yes, you want her, look at her you know you do"

"It's possible she wants you too, there is one way to ask her"

"It don't take a word, not a single word, you wanna kiss the girl"

Esteban smiled. Almost as if the song was trying to get him to do something.

"Shalalala lala my oh my looks like the boys too shy, ain't gonna kiss the girl."

"What?" Esteban thought "I'm not too shy…I uh, just can't. We're not allowed."

"Shalalala lala ain't that sid, it's such a shame too bad, you're gonna miss the girl"

"I'm not going to miss her, we're already together…right?" Esteban thought worriedly

"Go on and kiss the girl."

Esteban cleared his throat quickly and made up his mind. He grabbed the back stage mike and started to walk to the front stage as the chorus ended. He was gonna show that song a thing or two.

Maddie blushed deeply as she saw Esteban come out, but blushed even deeper when he started to sing to her.

"Now…my moment, floating in a blue lagoon."

Maddie cleared her throat and blushed at how beautiful Esteban's voice was, but she still had to prove a point. She picked her mike up and started to change the lyrics as well.

"Boy, you better do it soon, no time will be better"

"I don't say a word, not a single word, you better kiss this girl"

"Shalala lala well look right here, looks like I lost all fear, I'm gonna kiss the girl."

Esteban grabbed Maddie's hand. Maddie blushed

"Shalalala lala ain't this great, you didn't come too late, you're gonna kiss this girl.

Esteban blushed back and scratched his head nervously. What was he doing? He could get in big trouble. Get fired even…

"Shalalala lala don't be scared, you better be prepared, go on and kiss this girl."

Esteban gave up and started to lean in

"Shalalala lala don't stop now, don't try to hide it now."

Maddie started to lean inwards

"Shalalala lala float along and listen to the song, the song says kiss this girl"

Their noses touched, their mouths just centimeters apart.

"Shalalala lala the music play, do what the music say, go on and kiss the girl" Esteban whispered softly

Maddie leaned towards Esteban's ear and whispered softly

"Kiss the girl"

Esteban wrapped his arms around Maddie and nodded

"Go on and kiss the girl" Esteban whispered as there lips touched, the music emanating through their hearts.

Esteban whirled Maddie around as their kiss held firm. Maddie's stomach started to do flips. Just like the first time she ever kissed Esteban. Maddie held Esteban tightly in a hug, while they embraced and finally broke of the kiss.

Maddie blushed softly, and looked down shyly, while Esteban held her in his arms, looking down at her.

"So" Esteban queried, as the music died down "I like your choice of music." Both of them were now bright red.

"Yeah" Maddie smiled, ruffling Esteban's hair in the back of his head "Me too."

Esteban kissed Maddie softly on the forehead "So, why did you come in so early Miss Maddie?"

Maddie smiled, "Well, I…It was actually an accident. My clock was wrong. Why did you come in so early though?"

"I was paged." Esteban said while swinging Maddie around and watching her giggle "I guess getting here early wasn't all that bad, though."

"Yeah" Maddie laughed "You could even call it fate."

"Speaking of fate, I…wait what was that?!" Esteban stated quickly while looking around.

It almost sounded as if someone was clearing their throat. Like they were being watching or something…

"Probably just the air conditioning turning on." Maddie said, slightly hesitant "But just in case we should probably, um…"

"Yeah" Esteban said nervously "I'll uh, see you later, okay?" Esteban stated while shaking Maddie's hand.

"Yeah" Maddie sighed, slightly depressed "Later."

Esteban noticed this and quickly grabbed Maddie for one more kiss, but just as their lips were about to touch, the back stage lights turned on, and a familiar figure appeared in front of them.

"Well" the familiar voice stated "Isn't this interesting."

Maddie squeaked and started to become nervous, but Esteban held Maddie's hand strongly, trying to give her courage.

"Listen" Esteban said bravely "We can explain…we…"

"No." The voice said strongly "I will explain…you will listen."
