Chapter 9- The Moment Arrives: Part 2

Rory and Amy entered the party as he was still trying to prepare himself for what to expect. As they did they were greeted with a lot of hoots and hollers. They were both a bit confused at the crowd's reaction.

"What's going on?" Rory asked her.

"I have no idea. I am not in my pants, am I?" Amy asked joking, trying to guess the reason for the commotion. As they stood there, they saw Jeff walking up to them.

"So glad you could make it Rory!" he said as he put his arm around him. Rory became even more confused. He and Jeff had always been friendly over the years, but nothing that would call for this kind of greeting.

Jeff suddenly whistled loudly getting everyone's attention. "Oi! Everyone pipe down. I want to welcome our special guest to the party tonight. The man who single-handedly took down Travis. I give you the man of the hour, Rory 'Killer' Williams!" The entire party cheered as Jeff finished.

"What was that?" Rory asked Jeff as Amy looked just as confused.

"You're the talk of the school mate. The way you laid out Travis like that. Nobody likes that tosser."

"Yeah, but Mels is the one who actually…"

"Doesn't matter," Jeff interrupted, "You started the fight. It helped too that you've never punched anyone before. You took a stand against him. Now it's time to bask in the glory. Enjoy, my friend." Jeff finished, patted Rory on the back and headed back into the party.

"I didn't imagine that did I?" Rory asked.

"Unless we both imagined it, then you did not," Amy answered sounding in as much shock as he was. "Well, I guess that is going to make my job a bit easier then."

"What do you mean?"

"Oh Rory, so much to teach you. First lesson is to just go with it," Amy smiled at her friend as they walked into the surrounding party crowd.

"What are you talking…" Rory tried to say as she shoved him away from her. "about?" Rory finished as he turned back to Amy. Instead, he saw a girl from school walking straight towards him.

"Hi Rory, so glad you could make it tonight," Bridgett said as she grabbed his arm.

"Oh yeah, well you know me. I hate to miss a party," Rory joked. He had in fact been to very few of the school parties as they usually made him uncomfortable.

"I see you don't have a drink yet. Why don't we remedy that?" Bridgett asked.

"Umm, sure," Rory answered not sure what to say. He had never been approached in this manner before and he was already overwhelmed.

"I'm sorry Amy, do you mind if I borrow him for a while?" she asked.

Amy who had been secretly eavesdropping on their conversation looked over to Bridgett. "No problem, he's all yours."

"Thanks. Now let's go see about that drink, shall we?" she said as Rory looked over to Amy.

"Sure, let's go," he answered. He had never been too interested in Bridgett before, but he decided to listen to Amy and just go with it.

Amy was smiling as Bridgett dragged Rory off to the drink table feeling good that she had done her friendly duties for the evening. The smile slowly faded though as she watched him go. She turned back to the group she had joined trying to get her mind off of Rory.

As the party continued Amy quickly realized that she wasn't having any fun. She hadn't even finished her first drink. As she mingled with the rest of the crowd, she realized that she was avoiding Rory and Bridgett. If they entered a room, she would quickly make an exit because every time Amy saw them together, she felt a bit queasy. It didn't helot that Bridgett was flirting with Rory like crazy. She didn't see her let go of Rory's arm all night. She did manage to take a little comfort in the fact that Rory appeared to be very uncomfortable with any contact by her.

Amy started to get upset at herself for paying so much attention to them. Tonight was supposed to prove how she and Rory could just be friends, but he was all Amy could think of. She collapsed on to one of the couches exhausted at how much her mind had been working tonight. Taking a deep breath Amy closed her eyes trying to expel all thoughts of Rory from her mind.

Rory was not having a good time at the party either. He had spent the evening being dragged from room to room. He had felt as if Bridgett had been parading him around the party. He kept hoping that she would see how uncomfortable he was and stop. Unfortunately this was not the case. He was trying to figure out how long he was just going to 'go with it' before he stopped her advances. He really had no experience in this area and had no idea how to end it.

Amy opened her eyes having relaxed a bit, but quickly tensed right back up. The first thing she saw was Bridgett and Rory on the other side of the room. She thought about moving again, but found herself just staring at them. Amy watched the scene unfold as she heard a voice speaking to her, "Hi Amy, glad you could make it to the party. You look particularly great tonight."

"Yeah, thanks Kurt, you too," Amy responded without really thinking. She couldn't take her eyes off Rory and Bridgett. She could tell that Bridgett was finally going to make her move on Rory. She watched as the blonde gave her a hair a flip revealing her bare shoulder.

Amy's hand tightened around the solo cup she was holding, slightly crushing it. "Do you need another drink or something? I can get it for you," Kurt said not realizing how distracted Amy was.

"No I'm fine. Not really drinking tonight Kurt," Amy said as she watched Bridgett place her hand on Rory's thigh. Amy's neck stiffened in response. She was trying everything she could to keep herself from interfering. She kept repeating in her head that they had agreed to just be friends and that this was good for Rory.

"I was wondering if you wanted to dance?" Kurt asked as a last ditch effort to get her attention.

Amy watched as Bridgett pretended to lose her balance and fall into Rory. "Yeah, Kurt, that's a great idea," she said as she stood up. She couldn't take it anymore as she found the ability to move again. She got up and walked straight over to Rory, "Excuse me Bridgett, but it has been a while, and I'm going to need Rory back." Amy told her. She grabbed Rory's hand and pulled him away as Bridgett stood there in shock.

"Sorry," Rory managed to say as he was dragged away. "Thank you so much Amy," Rory said turning back to his friend, "I kept trying to get her to notice I wasn't interested, but she just wouldn't stop."

"Rory, dance with me," Amy demanded.

"What?" Rory asked unsure of what was happening.

When they reached the dance floor, she turned to Rory a bit calmer, "I was wondering if you would like to dance with me?"

Rory stood there staring at Amy for a few seconds. "Sure," was all he could say.

They both smiled at each other a bit embarrassed as they realized a slow song was playing. Neither was really sure what was happening as Rory moved in to hold Amy and she put her arms around him. They then started to slowly turn around the floor. It was obvious that Rory hadn't done much dancing so Amy ended up having to do most of the leading to make sure he wasn't stepping on her feet. They slowly reached a nice rhythm and Amy leaned into Rory and rested her head on his shoulder. All the anger that she had built up disappeared.

The song slowly faded away being replaced by something a bit faster paced. As they continued dancing, Amy could tell that Rory was uncomfortable dancing in front of everyone.

"Are you okay," Amy asked.

"Yeah, just you know, trying not to embarrass myself too much," Rory joked. He felt extremely awkward but didn't want to stop dancing with Amy.

"Why don't you take a quick break killer, before you hurt yourself," Amy said. "Wait right here, I'll be right back."

Amy had a crazy idea in her head as she went to request a song with the DJ. Rory stood there glancing around and saw a couple of the guys nodding their heads to him as if to say good job. He acknowledged each one with a wave trying to be cool.

"Oi, Neal. I have a request," Amy shouted to the DJ trying to be heard over the din.

"What is it luv."

"Can you play the Macarena?" Amy asked.

"Are you kidding me? I'm not playing that here. That's strictly kids parties."

"Everyone is already drunk Neal, it'll be a lark. Plus I can talk to Mels for you. I know you're interested."

Neal looked up at Amy, "You could get me a date?"

"Well, I am her best friend," Amy responded trying to make it sound like she could convince Mels of the deal.

He thought about it for a second before answering, "Fine, but if anyone complains, I am blaming you."

"Thanks Neal, you're the best," Amy said as she made her way back to Rory. She saw him still slowly swaying awkwardly to the music trying to look like he belonged.

"You look to be doing okay without me then," Amy said laughing.

Rory straightened up at the sound of her voice, "Welcome back. Where did you go?"

As if on cue, the Macarena started playing in the room. Everyone paused for a second unsure of why such a song would be playing here. Slowly a few people started joking around dancing and just having fun on the dance floor. Rory simply looked at Amy as she flashed her smile at him.

"Why?" was all that Rory could manage to ask.

"Well, I figured if you want to dance with the big boys you need to start with what you are comfortable with," Amy answered.

Rory felt a bit ridiculous but with the coaxing of Amy he started dancing again. As she joined Rory, Amy began to remember all those days of them playing this song on repeat when they were younger. They would spend hours performing the same moves over and over. On several occasions it even helped save the world when only dancing could help the Raggedy Doctor defeat the aliens.

As they danced, Rory filled Amy's thoughts. He was always so strange and awkward, but never had a problem dealing with whatever her drama was that week. They had always been there for each other, asshe always hated seeing him sad. They had shared so many big moments together that it was difficult sharing anything with anyone else.

As they finished one of the sets of moves and jumped facing each other, Amy stopped dancing. She stepped into Rory's outstretched hands and placed her arms around him. Amy leaned in and started to kiss him. The kiss began a little awkward as she had caught him off guard, but he quickly recovered as Rory brought his arms in to hold her. They both leaned deeper into the kiss as all of their feelings seemed to be unleashed. As Rory's brought his hand up to touch the side of Amy's face, they parted for a second, their foreheads still touching. Amy let out a small joyous laugh.

That was when they heard the crowd cheering. It was obvious that they had all seen what had just occurred. Rory and Amy quickly parted, embarrassed at what everyone had been witness to

Jeff came up behind Rory yelling, "Well it's official everyone! Not only did he beat up Travis, but he got the girl too!" The crowd responded with an even louder cheer.

"Congrats you two, knew it would happen eventually," Jeff told Amy and Rory. "All I want is credit at the wedding. I did throw the party where you two hooked up after all." He walked away laughing.

"Wedding?" Rory said a bit stunned by everyone's reaction. He was bright pink and unable to make another sound.

Amy was just as embarrassed but was able to keep her wits about her. She took hold of Rory's hand and took a little bow trying to get Rory to do the same. "Thank you," she called out, "Show's over. Nothing left to see." She shook Rory's hand snapping him out of his shock. He performed a little curtsey as people started to laugh and go back dancing. As people returned their attention to the party, Amy slowly backed out of the room dragging Rory with her.

As they made it outside Rory had regained his senses. "So, not just friends anymore," he said not sure what else to say. He turned to lean on the front porch railing.

"No, I guess not," Amy answered smiling. "What does it make us though?" Kissing Rory had felt so right to her. Now with the possibilities ahead of her though, she became afraid of what might happen again.

"Well, definitely not gay," Rory joked.

Amy laughed leaning on the railing next to him. "Most definitely not. Not with a kiss like that," Amy said as she gave him a small shove with her shoulder. Rory always had the ability to make her laugh or smile, even when she was afraid.

"Good to know it was enjoyed," Rory said as he looked over to Amy. He could tell she was afraid. The kiss didn't change anything that was said the other night. As he looked at Amy's smile, he knew he had to risk it. "Amy, no matter what happens between us, I will always be there for you. You never have to worry about being alone."

"I know Rory," Amy said as she lifted her hand to hold Rory's face. Her instincts kept telling her to bail as soon as possible, but she could never bring herself to just run away from Rory.

"Then let's make it official," Rory said standing up straight. Amy stood up also, smiling back at him. "Amy Pond, would you like to go out on a date with me?"

Amy wrapped her arms around Rory and kissed him. The future scared her but she knew Rory was telling the truth when he said she would never be alone. Feeling Rory hold her and his lips against hers gave her all the reassurance she needed. "I most definitely will," she said when the kiss ended.

Rory and Amy simply stood on the porch holding each other, a little afraid to let go. Rory began to chuckle a bit, "You know what this means though? Mels was right. We're never going to live this down."

"Yeah, well so what," Amy countered. She couldn't remember ever feeling quite this happy before. "I am personally going to thank her tomorrow. In fact I might even send Jeff a fruit basket. Oh, I can't forget Bridgett either, "Amy teased, "she deserves some sort of consolation prize."

"Shut it you," Rory said as he and Amy began kissing again.

A/N: And here is part 2. I'm getting a lot of visitors so thank you everyone! Hope some of you can take the time to follow and leave a review.

I really enjoy this chapter for obvious reasons. Of course Amy and Rory get together, but also because it is also their famous Macarena first kiss. I enjoyed making their first kiss that much more important, especially since it was what broke their agreement to stay friends.

Hope you enjoy!
