AN: Well here's the long awaited dance… I don't know how many chapters we'll have of this. Enjoy ~CaitCait12

Em:

So this dance is at a beach? To be specific, Mystic Beach. Is it me or is Apollo insane? Brett parks in a spot far from the loud blaring music of the party and when the car engine turns off I immediately get out of the car. Walking quickly to a quieter area of the place, I turn and look over my shoulder to yell "See you guys later! Don't bother following me!".

It's dark where I am. No one bothered to light up the place with those crappy lanterns, but faint light still shines from where the lanterns are stuck in the ground. A group of people sit in front of me, two boys and three girls. They're all stoners but hey atleast they're not perky little sluts!

I sit down next to one of the guys, he passes me a blunt but i politely decline.

"I haven't seen you around here before." he says.

"Well I don't live here so that makes sense. I'm Em." I say while taking my lighter out to play with.

"I'm Noah." he says while puffing out some smoke. I wrinkle my nose in distaste, gods it smells.

"Nice to meet you Noah. I have to ask what brings you to an annoying beach dance?" I ask the dark haired teen.

He shrugs his shoulders, "Had to drive my sis and this right here is the stoner pit, I find my kind of people here."

"Sounds great." I say while looking at the other teens who smoke and laugh.

The other guy and one of the girls start making out quite loudly, I turn to Noah and ask, "Doesn't that" I gesture towards the couple, "make you sick?"

He puffs more smoke, "Naw man, just ignore it you'll be fine."

The music in the distance gets even louder and I start to feel very uncomfortable. I stand up and say goodbye to the stoners. I walk with my arms crossed towards the noise and the dancing, squinting my eyes at all the bright lights. I can't see Sami or Leo anywhere. I don't even bother looking for Brett. I walk through the crowd of dancers and get slapped on the ass by some drunk bastard. I really don't want to be here.

Running out of the crowd, I trip and crash into someone's back. "Oh, sorry 'bout that."

The person turns around, guess who it is, obviously Brett.

"Hey Em!" he yells over the music. He grabs me by the arm and pulls me out of the crowd and next to a food table. "Isn't this awesome!"

I awkwardly shrug my arm out of his hand, "Uh... no, not really."

He sighs, "Come on Em! Loosen' up and dance! Try to have some fun!"

I shrug my shoulders and cross my arms.

Brett makes a face, "Why do you smell like that?" he asks.

"Smell like what?" I ask.

"You smell like a stoner. Have you been smoking?!" he blurts out.

I can't help but laugh, "What? No! I was just hanging out with stoners."

"Why were you- no I'm not even going to ask."

"Well um... have you seen Sami?" I ask while looking around for her.

"No. Hey do wanna dance?"

"Sorry I can't hear you over this awful music."

"I said, do you wanna dance?!" he yells.

I freeze and stare at him. He just asked me to dance! What should I do? "Uh um well ah um I... ok." I stutter out.

"Cool." he takes my hand and pulls me back into the crowd of sweaty teens.

Sami:

That's strange, I think to myself, but then again Em is always strange. I wonder where she'll go. She said not to follow her so I guess I'll just have to go have some fun without her.
"Hey, you still nervous?" Leo whispers.

"No." I whisper back.
"You guys ready to party?!" Brett yells.

"Hell yes!" I grab Leo by the arm and drag him into the mass of teens.

Brett finds a place with a bunch of girls and some other jocks quite quickly. Leo and I mingled and danced a bit before we see Brett waving us over, "Hey you two, over here!" We bound over and he introduces us to them. "This is Jacob." He gestures to a boy with spikey brown hair, "This is Chris." A boy with dark skin waves, "And this is Emily and Jess." Two girls, on with blue hair and one with read hair.
"And I'm Miley!" A girl with long brown hair and heavy bangs interrupts.
"Well that's Miley for you." The boy with the spiky hair laughs. She grins a perfect smile.

"Anyone wanna mingle with me." She asks.
"No thanks." The girl with the blue hair, Jess, retorts, "I don't even want to be here in the first place."

"Well aren't you the life of the party." She says sarcastically. "I'm going to meet people. Maybe boys." She winks.
"This girl is trouble." Leo mutters under his breath. She twirls on a heel and bounds back into the dancing crowd.

Brett, Leo and I find our selves on the dance floor. Brett is shaking it up with a bunch of girls. Miley is back with him now and dancing wildly. The music slows down and everyone partners up. Leo holds out his hand, "Would you like to dance."
"Yes, that'd be amazing." I smile. He puts his hands on my waist and I wrap my arms around his neck. We sway to the music. I feel so happy, gleeful almost. His mouth was at my neck level and I could feel his breath. I close my eyes and lean into his chest.
"This quest hasn't been that hard yet." He whispers into my ear.
I laugh, "Not at all, I've been enjoying it."

"Well now, Sunny lets not jinx it." He chuckles. I feel his breath on my neck and it tingles down my spine. I grab his shirt in my fists and pull him closer to me. "Not right here Sunny, there's so many people here."
"I don't care, Leo Valdez, just kiss me." He grabs my waist and pulls me towards him. I kiss him passionately and the whole world seems to melt away.
