Heate Eissilent 2
Ladybug and Starshine Step Up.
I don't own anything besides Heather and I have Kate's permission to use her…and please review :)
Kate's POV
I felt my pulse quicken and my palms got all sweaty. I turned to my crew and we all exchanged nervous glances. We stepped out into the bright lights and the crowd roared with applause. I turned to see Heather looking forward, her expression steely. The crowd had been quiet for a few minutes before the loud applause started up again; the Samurai were here. Heather turned around and I saw her expression change to shock and anger. I turned to look where she was looking and I saw Carlos standing there with his hand on Julien's shoulder. Julien looked as serious and cold as Heather but Carlos was smirking at her. The crowd was silent and we could hear what the other crew was saying. One person caught mine and Heather's attention.
"Remember man, she only used you. She never loved you, soon after she broke your heart she came onto me. She doesn't care about you." It was Carlos. He was speaking to Julien and looking straight at Heather. Before anyone could stop her she had lunged at Carlos. She got in a good punch before Moose and Luke had pulled her away. The crowd started up again and the announcer came over the mic.
"Whoa whoa! Another stunt like that and we're giving it to the Samurai!" he said. I saw her cold gaze ignite and turn into flame. She was going to kick Carlos' ass, but on the dance floor. She stiffly nodded and the competition began. We started first with the simple part of our routine. We got applause from the audience and I saw Heather smirk. The Samurai were up next. This back and forth continued until I saw one person I couldn't keep my eyes off of… Daniel. He glided into the middle of the floor and did his part of their routine. He was amazing and I felt myself start to tear up. When it was our turn Heather got her solo part and as she slid into the middle of the floor doing what she did best I saw him staring at me. He looked tired and he just looked at me sadly.
About ten seconds later I was queued in to join Heather and we were supposed to do our special salsa tango dance. I spun in and she turned toward me as we met in the middle of the floor. She smiled before we turned toward the other crew. Sometime after we sunk back into the group Natalie had jumped in and she and Luke were doing their practiced routine. I saw Julien go to move forward but he was stopped by Daniel. When they were done Natalie took the floor and had made a jump, into a backward toe-touch, and landed it perfectly. I knew it was time. We all stripped off our jackets and the lights dimmed. After that we let loose doing our secret routine. We were a flash of color and light and all too soon it had ended. The crowd went wild and I felt Heather jump up and hug me. We waited patiently while the judges tallied the score. Our crew huddled together and we all hugged and breathed silently. I felt Heather slide to the floor and it looked almost like she was praying. I looked over to the other crew and I saw Julien staring at her. I knew he wanted her back and I knew she wanted him back too. I think after that little scuttle with Carlos he knew she wanted him back too. I looked over at Daniel and he was already staring at me.
I heard the announcer clear his throat and look up at the judges. The female judge stood up and a few seconds later the flag of the pirates was flying down toward us. The crowd's reaction was so loud I couldn't hear anything for a few seconds. I looked to see our crew jumping around celebrating. I searched to find Heather and I saw her pushing through the crowd. A few seconds later I was lifted into the air by the twins and luckily I could see where Heather was going. She was chasing after a tall blonde guy that was wearing all black. I smiled to myself and couldn't help but hug the twins when they put me down. I felt a finger tap my shoulder and the twins started glaring. I turned to see Daniel.
"What do you want Kid Darkness?" I said coldly. I saw him cringe at the sound of his nickname coming from my mouth but he looked straight into my eyes.
"I'm sorry. I didn't want to do what I did but Julien made me because Carlos told him that Heather didn't love him and that she used him. He said you and her weren't to be trusted. I just want you to know that if you were using me I don't care because I love you." He said over the noise of the crowd. I saw the twins look at each other and then smile and they walked away. I felt a tear run down my cheek and I watched it fall to the ground. Apparently I waited too long to answer because Daniel sighed. "I guess I'm sorry I said that… I'll leave you alone now. Congratulations." And then he turned away. I lunged forward and spun him around.
"You are right. I did use you." I said and I saw his face drop and his eyes got watery. I smiled up at him. "I used you because you are a damn good kisser." I finished and jumped up and connected our lips. I felt tears run down my face and I felt his tears run down his. He wrapped his arms around my waist and he lifted me up. We stayed like that not caring about our crews or that his crew is pretty much over and mine is standing behind me. We just kissed.
