Hi guys! I know it's been awhile but something was wrong with the computer I was using and it wasn't letting me post anything so I'll be updating this and my other stories really soon! Please read and review :)

"Why won't you talk to me?" Penny asked Tracy as she sat next to her in the cafeteria. Tracy knew it was killing Penny that she wasn't talking to her but it was because of Emma. It was all her fault. She had stolen her best friend and she was sleeping with her boyfriend! Penny didn't know about Link, though. She hadn't told her yet and she hadn't confronted Link about it either. She had intended on doing that after the show today but Link told her he was sick and he wasn't at school and he wouldn't be on the show today either. "Why aren't you sitting with your little friend Emma?" Tracy snapped at her.

"She's not at school today. She's sick. Why do you hate her so much Tracy? I thought you would have given her a chance by now especially how Amber attacked her."

"She deserved it! Do you know why Amber attacked your slutty friend?" Tracy asked.

"Because she's mean and jealous of her." Tracy rolled her eyes. Penny just didn't get it. She was so innocent and naïve when it came to Emma and she was sick of it. She didn't like the fact that Emma had her best friend wrapped around her little finger. She wanted to tell Penny the truth about Emma but figured she probably wouldn't believe it anyway. Emma had taken up all of Penny's free time besides watching the show with her everyday, she had also slept over Emma's house, gone shopping with her, and Tracy noticed Penny's new look. She was now looking and dressing a lot like Emma. Penny had told her a couple of days ago that Emma had given her a make over and she always changed clothes in the restroom so her mom wouldn't see what she was wearing since Emma told her that was what was best to do. Tracy wished Emma would go away and her best friend would come back to her. Link was another story, she didn't know if she wanted to stay with him or not after what he did.

"Penny, Emma isn't as wonderful as you think she is."

"I'm tired of you saying that. Now, if you would just get to know her-"

"I don't want to get to know her! I know all I need to know about her!" Tracy cried. Penny was about to say something else when Amber and Tammy came to sit with them. They saw Penny and immediately rolled their eyes. "Look it's the president of Emma's fan club," Amber commented. Tammy laughed and Tracy just smiled unsure of what to do. She didn't like Amber bad mouthing Penny but it was kind of true. Penny did look like an Emma clone right now.

"Where is your best friend anyway?" Tammy asked Penny preferring to Emma of course and not Tracy.

"She's sick and I don't appreciate you guys talking about her all of the time just because you're jealous of her." Penny snapped.

"Oh please! No one is jealous of her and she's not really sick. She's somewhere with Link or Corny or whoever else she's doing this week." Amber said. Tracy was stunned. She should have put that together when Penny said Emma was sick earlier. Link was out "sick" too! They were probably at his house right now. How could he? She was about to cry again.

"Emma isn't with anyone you idiot!"

"You are so stupid Penny Pingleton. Didn't Tracy tell you about Link and Emma?" Tammy asked her.

"Link and Emma? Stop lying! Tracy she's lying don't believe a word she says. Emma wouldn't do a thing like that!"

"How do you know? You hardly even know her and you are already dressing like her!" Tracy snapped in tears. Penny just got up and walked away. Normally, Tracy would go after her but she felt Penny had betrayed her just like Link did.

"Have you told her about us yet?" Emma asked Link but she knew the answer was no. She had been asking him that a lot for the past few days but Link couldn't bring himself to tell Tracy it was over. If he really liked her, she wanted him to be honest with his girlfriend about it.

"Not yet but I will very soon. I promise." He told her. She was disappointed again. He told her he wanted more from her but he had yet to tell Tracy it was over. She was getting sick of it. Sure she hadn't told Corny it was over yet but that wasn't the same thing. No one knew about them and they weren't in a committed relationship like Link and Tracy were. Plus, she was afraid Corny wouldn't pull for her to not get kicked off the show anymore if she broke up with him too soon.

"Will you tell her tomorrow?"

"Sure if that's what you want. I'll tell her tomorrow then everyone can know I'm with you." He said then kissed her on her cheek as they walked through the mall. It was in the middle of the afternoon and they were skipping school. She had never ditched school before but she was glad since she was spending the day with Link. It was the first time they had been in public together and she was thankful for that. She wanted everyone to know they were a couple. "So do you want to go back to my place now?" Link asked her. Emma was tempted but she knew exactly what was going to happen once they got back to his place. They hadn't slept together since Link told her he wanted to be with her. He wanted to but she wanted to make sure she was more then just a roll in the sack to him. "How about we just go to a movie instead?" she suggested.

"Fine." He said disappointed. She put his arm through his and put her head on his shoulder as they walked to the mall's movie theater. "Look at that!" He said suddenly pointing at a sign on the mall's bulletin board. She looked up as they walked towards the board. She didn't see what he was talking about at first but saw the poster announcing an audition for a new council girl for the Corny Collins show. It was taking place Wednesday morning. She noticed the sign said they were just looking for one new girl and not two.

"Oh no!" she cried. It was really over now. She was off the show for good! It didn't seem fair. It was all Amber's fault after all.

"That doesn't mean you are the one fired." Link reassured her.

"It's a safe bet. Amber's mom is the station manager after all." She said

"I'm sure Velma will be fair." Link said but even he wasn't sure about that one. He knew Velma Von Tussle was anything but fair when it came to giving Amber what she wanted. He didn't want Emma off the show but he was sure that was exactly what was going to happen.

"Amber, you know a decision has been right?" Velma told her when she came into her office before the show. Amber nodded. It was the reason she even came here in the first place. She wasn't allowed on the set while she was suspended but she saw a flyer at school about the auditions and figured if she wasn't going to be fired she was going to start back on the show today. There was no way her mom would allow her to be fired. She was the lead dancer on the show after all and plus Emma was new and everyone hated her at least all of the girls did.

"I'm sorry but I have to let you go." Velma said sadly.

"What?! Mom come on! How could you let this happen?" She cried shocked.

"I had no choice. It was what Mr. Spritzer wanted. He's my boss and I have to do what he says. I know how much dancing on the show means to you but there is nothing I can do." Velma said looking down.

"And Emma gets to stay?" she cried in disbelief.

"Yes she does. You attacked her Amber. It was clearly your fault. She starts back tomorrow. It would be best if you didn't hang out on the set when she comes back. You are welcome to stay today but you have to make sure you clean off your dressing table for the new girl."

"I'll clean out my things but I'm not staying!" She said as her eyes filled with tears. She couldn't believe it was all over. She was never going to dance on TV again. She felt like her life had just ended.
