I do not own anything Step Up related. I only own Anna.

Chapter 2

I wake up the next morning to kisses on my neck and shoulder. I couldn't help but let out a small moan. I open my eyes when they stop to see Eddy smiling down on me. "Good morning beautiful." I smile and lift my head up to kiss him. "Good morning to you."

He rolls back onto his back pulling me into his side. I lay my head on his shoulder with our arms wrapped around each other. This is my favorite place to be in the world. After a couple minutes I reach over to the nightstand to see what time it is.

"It's almost eight, I need to get ready," I say while stretching. Before I know it Eddy is flying out of the bed rushing around the room picking up his work clothes. "What's wrong?" I ask. "I have to be at work in ten minutes for a meeting. I forgot all about needing to get up early for this." I help him look for his other shoe which is under the bed and tie that is on the bathroom doorknob.

When he is semi dressed, he gives me a quick kiss and runs out. I shake my head at his retreating form and decide I need to get ready myself.

Work was uneventful. I was busy all day getting all the audition papers and head shots together for the latest auditions coming up. That is always a fun time. As I'm going through them I come across a picture of a girl that looks familiar but I can't seem to place her. Emily Anderson. I just shrug it off for now.

I'm almost done when I see Eddy walk in with all these different emotions on his face. I'm suddenly nervous, he never shows up here unless something is wrong.

I hurry over to him.

"Is everything ok? Is it Sean?" I feel myself panicking thinking something happened to my brother. Sensing it he puts his hands on my shoulders, "Anna honey calm down. Sean is fine; he's probably getting off work now." I release the breath I didn't realize I was holding. Then something hits me, "Why aren't you with him?" As soon as the words have left my mouth his head drops.

"I got fired this morning." I am in shock. "What? Why?" Anger is now all over his face. "The stupid owner fired me as soon as I walked in for being twenty minutes late. He didn't care I've been there for over a year. They almost called security on me." Now I was pissed. "I've been looking everywhere to try to find something but no luck."

I put my hand on his cheek making him look at me, "We'll be fine Eddy. You'll find something and if not I'm sure Ricky will give you something." He just nods.

"When do you get off?" I looked over at the clock on the wall. "Five minutes." He nods, "Ok I'll wait for you in the car. I'm meeting your brother and have spare clothes for you." I smile, "Ok see you in a little bit."

When I get off I change discreetly into a pair of holey jeans and tank top while he drives.

We park on one of the old bridges and see Sean already there. I get out of the car and give Sean a kiss on the cheek, "Hey Seany." He gives me a smile as I hop on the hood. Eddy stands in between my legs as he leans on the car. I wrap my arms around his chest with my head on his shoulder and look out over the water.

"Listen, I want to talk about this morning," Sean starts, "I would've walked out with you but…" "Nah man," Eddy interrupts him, "You don't need to do that…then we'll both be out of the job." I can feel all the tension in his back with the subject. "Listen, we'll do a few more mobs, get the hits, we'll get the money." I can hear the determination in my brother's voice and I feel proud of him.

"Ok?" Eddy sighs, "Yeah ok."

"Alright cause I think I got this next thing figured out." Thank God! I can see the wheels turning in his head as he looks over to Eddy. "Ready to go?" "Thought you'd never ask man," Eddy replies pushing Sean a little. He grabs my hand and pulls me off the hood leading me to the driver's side.

"To the bat cave!" I cheer causing them both to laugh. "Only you Anna," Sean chuckles. I lean over the seat and steal his hat. He tries to take it back when I put it on my head but I just smack his hand away. "Ok children behave," Eddy says sarcastically as he puts the car in drive.

When we get to the cave everyone is already dancing. I get out of the car and Eddy puts an arm around my shoulder as we make our way through everyone to the office area up stairs. I take my seat on Eddy's desk as Sean starts to tell us his plan.

"Ok, Ocean Drive was great and got us a lot of hits but this next mob will be a bit more complicated."

He goes on about the Miami Museum of International Art and Culture that he wants to do it at so, me and Eddy are off to do some scouting. We arrive to take pictures to get the idea into a visual.

"Ok so, there two main entrances and exits and a back door that opens to the streets," Eddy told Sean showing him the map on the computer screen. "Let's have the van waiting right outside, that's our escape," Sean answered. "How are we gonna get dancers in and out without them getting notice?" Eddy asked and Sean smiled and looked up at me, "One word man: Camouflage".

I was getting excited now.

After we explained the whole camouflage idea to the others they continued to rehearse out dance moves. They rehearsed and at the same time Sean, Eddy, and I planned everything. We were at the bridge looking at maps while I was working up costume designs. I kept my ears open to know what was going on.

"There's going to be security this time, under the supervision of director Jennifer Gibgott" Sean said lifting his head from the map and looked at me and Eddy "What about music?" Eddy asked and I smiled "I was thinking that Penelope should look to be seeking for a new employment".

Eddy shook his head at me and smiled "This is defiantly gonna get us a lot of hits". "Either way, the Mob is gonna put its own spin on fine art," Sean added. "It sure is," I added. They look up at me and smile. I finished the last touches on my sketches and showed them, "What do you think?" Their eyes got big, "Amazing," Sean said, "Let's get to work."

I couldn't wait to get started. It's going to be a very late night with this happening tomorrow night.

Please review! I haven't gotten any reviews yet and would love to know what ya'll think!
