Hey everyone! Wow, 2 months. Wow. I apologize greatly. I never expected this chapter to take so long. Writers block sucks, okay? It truly does suck. I just had no idea what to do with this chapter! But I got something, and something is better than nothing right?

I think I've gotten a couple of reviews since my last update (to my great surprise), so if that's true, thanks for that.

Disclaimer: I don't own Shake It Up, or any of it's characters. I only own my OC's.

So now, without further ado, here's Chapter 5 of "How My Life Changed Forever"!

Chapter 5

Did I just hear that right?

Shake It Up, Chicago?!

There's a Shake It Up in Chicago?

Apparently so.

The building is humongous. Inside and out. There's people doing flips, and spinning on their heads, and... wow! There's a lot of talent here.

"Hey, girls!"

What snaps me out of my thoughts is a man walking towards us. He doesn't look mad (thankfully). He has a smile on his face.

"Hey, Rocky and Cece, ready for rehear-"

He then looks over at me.

"Who's she?" he asked.

Before I could answer though, he spoke again.

"Want an autographed headshot?" he asked.

"Uh..." I began.

"Of course you do!" he interrupted. "I'm Gary Wilde!"

He then gave me about five pictures of himself. The same five pictures.

Out of the corner of my eye, I saw Rocky roll her eyes.

"He does that." she said. "A lot."

I rolled my eyes in response.

"Just to let you know." she added, putting a hand on my shoulder.

I nodded, understanding her completely.

After Rocky and Cece got changed into some rehearsal attire, they went up to the big stage in the center of the room as the self-centered man from before and other men begin giving them some choreography.

After watching the rehearsal for a few minutes (that, and me distracting myself with my cell phone), all of the dancers took a water break. My phone then buzzed, meaning that something has happened in my world (probably in Boston). As I was looking at it though, I heard a voice in the weirdest accent that I had heard in my life.

"Oh look, Gunther, another one."

I looked up from my phone to find two teenagers, probably no older than us. One's a boy and the other is a girl. They look kinda alike, and are wearing way too much glitter and bling.

"Um, excuse me?" I asked, starting to getting a bit defensive. "I don't think I know you."

The female gasped.

"You," she began, pointing at me with a weak finger. "don't know us?" she added, pointing to herself and the boy with a much stronger finger. She and the boy then cleared their throats.

"I'm Gunther!"

"And I'm Tinka!"

"And we're the Hessenheffers!" they exclaimed, ending with a pose.

I nodded slowly, not quite sure what's up with these people.

"Okay..." I said, nodding slowly. "That's nice to know..."

Both of them nodded proudly.

"And you're here... why?"

The girl (something with a T, right?) rolled her eyes.

"Uh, hello? This is Shake It Up, Chicago! Why do you think we're here?"

I didn't say anything.

"So, are you going to get off of your butt soon, or are you just going to just sit there like the untalented nobody you really are?"

That got me mad. That got me steamed.

And that got me motivated to stand up and show her who's boss.

"Who are you calling untalented?!" I snapped, getting into both of their faces (but mostly the girl's). "I hope you're not referring to me. Because if I was untalented, could I do this?"

I then did three a la secondes, into pirouettes, and then did a chaîné turn into a renverse'.

"Who's untalented now?" I whispered, smiling at both siblings.

They weren't the only people who saw me, though.

Rocky saw me. Cece saw me. Heck, I think every dancer on Shake it Up, Chicago saw me!

Including Gary Wilde.

But that's not all.

Guess who I saw, standing in the doorway?

Mark.

Dun dun dun! Cliffhanger! I do that a lot, just so you know, so sorry about that.

I know this chapter is bit on the short side, but I'm sorry. Dealing with writers block, along with school, is just plain out hard. I try to write everyday, but that doesn't always succeed.

I also want to say thanks to whoever has stuck with me this far. I haven't been the best writer, you know, updating wise. As I said before, I try to write everyday, but that doesn't always work out. So thanks if you're still reading this story.

I'm aiming to have at least another chapter (or maybe ever 2!) posted before the end of the month, just so you know. But if that doesn't happen, then I'm sorry. But I really am trying!

Oh, and please don't forget to review! They always make my day, and make me work that much faster, knowing that I have people to entertain.
