* Hey everyone! Wow! 30 FREAKING REVIEWS! You guys are smothering me! But don't stop! Don't ever stop! Big thanks to smileforthecamera.x for all the short but really, really nice reviews! And EaseThePain, your constant support has made this story grow wings and fly. Literally. Love you, too, babe! Now let's get dancing! Werewolf-style!
DISCLAIMER: I don't own 'Let's Dance'. It's the property of the AMAZING Vanessa Hudgens- she and Taylor Lautner look so good together!- and her record company.
" And that's how you do a Jazz Square!", Ryan said to Jacob, smiling.
" I'd never thought I'd see the day when I'd be turned on by a guy dancing", Troy stated from beside Jacob.
" Um, TMI!", cried Jacob.
Just then, Gabriella walked into the dance studio and her jaw dropped at seeing the size and grandeur of it.
" Welcome to Chandra's Dance Studio!", Ryan greeted the stunned girl.
" Wow, it's so…", Gabriella said to Ryan.
" Big? Grandeur?", Ryan filled in for her.
" You took the words right out of my mouth", Gabriella replied as Jacob ran up to her and kissed her on the cheek.
" Hey", Jacob said to her, smiling.
" Hey", Gabriella said back, smiling as well.
" So how's Kelsi?", Jacob asked.
" She's heartbroken. I just came from her place now. She's lying around in her pajamas and eating all the junk food in her house. God, I hate myself for telling her the truth", Gabriella answered, frowning.
" It was the right thing to do. Will she still play for Friday?", asked Jacob.
" If I kick her butt enough, I think she will", replied Gabriella with a snarl.
" Wow, you're now turning into Alice", commented Troy.
Everyone just stared at Troy and not in a nice way.
" What?", He asked, clueless.
" I don't want to be Alice but if I have to take on her persona to get Kelsi out of her house then that's what I'm going to do", Gabriella stated.
" Speaking of Alice…", began Ryan.
" Yes, she still hates me and won't talk to me and is probably scheming to destroy our callback audition so we probably should watch out", Gabriella told the guys.
" I suggest we get school security to keep her from coming within a thirty-yard radius of the auditorium", suggested Jacob.
" That won't work. She's a very devious little demon", Gabriella answered with a shake of her head.
" Then I guess all we can hope for is that she'll have a change of heart", Troy said and everyone looked at him again in a not-so-nice way.
" Well, that's just wishful thinking!", Troy argued.
Ryan went over and gave his boyfriend a hug, saying, " I know you meant well, my love".
" So we're all here, but where's your dancer friends?", Jacob spoke up.
" Right here!", A voice announced.
Everyone turned to see a lithe, bronze-skinned woman with shoulder-length light brown wavy hair in pink leg warmers, black stiletto heels, short red shorts, and a white skin-tight tank top flanked by a very muscular man with short, spiky black hair and stubble dressed in a black tank top and matching black sweatpants.
" Hey, Karina, Maks!", Ryan greeted the two.
" Hey, Ryan, how are you?", Karina asked, going and giving Ryan a hug.
" Better these days. This is my boyfriend, Troy, and Gabriella and Jacob. We're all in need of your assistance with our callback auditions", Ryan answered, pointing to everyone.
" You're needed to dance?", asked Maks.
" Yes. Troy and I are doing the Samba. Gabriella and Jacob are doing the Waltz", explained Ryan.
" Which ones are you going to take?", Maks asked Karina.
" I'm thinking of helping Gabriella and Jacob with their Waltz", Karina told Maks.
" Ooh, have fun, you two!", Ryan wished Gabriella and Jacob.
" Why do you say that?", asked Gabriella.
" I can tell you haven't ever watched 'Dancing with the Stars'. Karina is a really strict teacher and the fact that she wants to teach you means you have a one-way ticket to hell", Ryan answered Gabriella.
" I think I'll like hell", Jacob stated, eying Karina's rather skimpy outfit.
Gabriella then smacked him upside the head. " May I remind you who you're dancing with?", Gabriella snarled.
" I'm sorry, Gaby", Jacob told her sincerely.
" Okay, men, let's go Samba our way to victory!", Maks said to Ryan and Troy, leading them towards the door.
" In your dreams! Gabriella and Jacob will cream them with their Waltz!", Karina shouted after Maks.
" And you say I'm dreaming!", Maks shouted back.
" That's it! No sex for a month!", Karina yelled.
" Fine!", Maks cried as he headed out the door.
" Fine!", shrieked Karina then turned back to Gabriella and Jacob and said, " Just married".
" Really, we couldn't tell", joked Jacob.
" Okay, you knuckleheads, I'm the boss now so that means dancing will be all you'll think about these next couple days. You'll eat, sleep, drink, and breathe dancing. If you think about anything other than dancing, I will personally make you think of dancing again. So now let's…", Karina told the two then stroke a pose and began to sing,
" Dance!
It's so hot
I can't stop
The music fills the room
Vibrations
Sensations
That beat goes boom boom boom
I've got to keep it together
I've got to keep it together
I've got to keep it together
Watch the crazy people dance
Let's dance!(Tonight)
Show me (Feels so right)
Hold me (Hold me tight)
Control me
Let's dance (Right now)
Take me (Spin me round)
Shake me (Shake me down)
Make me
Let's dance
Just like that
Don't hold back
Get crazy on the floor
We'll have fun
All day long
And then we'll still want more
I've got to keep it together
I've got to keep it together
I've got to keep it together
Watch the crazy people dance
Let's dance! (Tonight)
Show me (Feels so right)
Hold me (Hold me tight)
Control me
Let's dance (Right now)
Take me (Spin me round)
Shake me (Shake me down)
Make me
Look in my eyes
You'll realize
We can't deny
I'm into you and you're so into me
And you know you can't fight what is meant to be
Let's dance".
When Karina got done singing and dancing her way all over the dance studio, she turned to Jacob and Gabriella to see them staring at her, their mouths agape.
" Sorry, the music got a hold of me again", Karina hastily apologized.
" Don't apologize for having the voice of an angel", Gabriella told her, still mesmerized by what she just saw.
" And for dancing like…like… like a queen!", Jacob added.
Gabriella and Karina both stared at Jacob.
" A queen, really?", asked Gabriella.
" Hey, I didn't know what else to say and 'queen' was the first word that popped into my head!", argued Jacob.
" I appreciate your kind words but I'm here to help you guys learn to Waltz by Friday so let's get down and dirty, or as down and dirty as one can get in the Waltz", Karina told the two teenagers with a small smile.
" Okay!", Gabriella and Jacob said eagerly and headed over near the mirrors to learn the basics of the Waltz from the one and only Karina Smirnoff.
