Now that we got the sad stuff out of the way for possibly now, here's Luce and Mo trying to find his dance partner! Some certain fan girls of the debut character will be happy to see him coming. ;) However, I have a feeling that I will get a lot of comments telling me to put him in more than when he's supposed to be in the story. Dear God, I need a shield. D: XD Here's chapter six!

DCFan4ever: Excited huh? Well, I know you'll love this one then. ;)

~Chapter Six: Finding Swag~

(~::...::~)(~::...::~)(~::...::~)(~::...::~)(~::...::~)(~::...::~)(~::...::~)

After the major events that happened in the last couple of weeks, things have finally calmed down. With the private visiting out of the way, Luce can at last focus on dancing. It felt relieving for her friends that they can do the stuff they usually do during the summer. Right now, Luce has to look toward the future to see what's in store for her.

DCI has been expecting their dancers to pair up into crews, and apparently, only Emilia out of the gang has Bodie since they made a promise. Angel has been trying to get Aubrey into his crew since his style is surprisingly close to hers. For Dare and MacCoy, they might be one, but due to the DJ's shyness and Dare focusing on her clothing designs, it could take them some time. Mo always felt all for it being a dance mentor ever since he started dancing because he would be willing to teach a young protegé the skills he's learned so he can pass them down.

In Luce's mind, she feels unsure, yet she found Oblio at the club. He was like a complete stranger, but they warmed up to each other as a way of being neutral, since they got to know each other a bit when he arrived at the small visit. Despite wanting to ask him if he's considering being competitive and ready for DCI's competition, she has to help Mo find a "student", she would say.

As of what's happening now with Luce and Mo, they weren't even in a building or sitting down with papers or holding signs and they were just watching people to see if they were dance-worthy. Mo thought that it would be good to observe teenagers that hang out on the street they are in so that he can tell if anyone is capable of dancing. Since it's Central City, anything could happen, even someone dancing without music.

Plus, the heat made their watch a bit more difficult. Luce was wearing her Street Style outfit: including a black long-sleeved Underarmour with the sleeves rolled up and a pink tank top with purple text reading "Only play if you want to." Second, her black ripped jeans may look tight, but they were actually rather snug and comfortable. She also had a pink rose necklace adorned around her neck, which compliments her tank top, and the pink combat boots that help balance both the black and pink. She loved how it went, but the temperature isn't friendly to her sense of fashion.

Compared to Mo, how the hell can he wear a light blue, white, and brown jacket when it's around seventy-five to eighty degrees outside? Luce felt pity for him because of his skin tone and wearing something long-sleeved. Luce shrugged, looking at the people walking by, hoping to find Mo's protegé as soon as possible. To her guess, that's how you got to deal with Street Style.

"It's rare to see people dancing just because they have the guts to do so," Luce jokingly said with a smile. Mo brightened up a bit, despite her sarcasm.

"On the inside, they are probably doing the Harlem Shake. That would be so funny if someone started the music and then everyone would join in." Luce giggled with a smile, pushing her glasses a bit so her vision will be clear for her. Even after his sense of humor, it just couldn't beat the heat.

"Hey, I'm going to get some ice cream, Mo," Luce told him, taking out her wallet. "What flavor do you want?" She looked at the taller man, who crossed his arms while thinking.

"I don't mind the flavor; just as long as it's cold and can cool me down." Luce nodded, heading down across the street to the ice cream stand, seeing a man who was trying to get cooled off from the air conditioner installed on the stand. If she could get free ice cream and take the fan from that guy, she would, but she's not that kind of person. When the young man noticed her heading his way, he tried to act cool like he was taking his job seriously.

"What can I get you, miss?" he asked Luce politely. The brunette looked at the menu quickly, but carefully, so that she can find her favorite flavor and what would be good for Mo. Finished, she took a five-dollar bill out, giving it to the man across from her.

"One chocolate mint and one rocky road on cones." The man didn't bother to tell her the price, due to having to serve ice cream now. Luce always loved anything chocolate mint related as long as she remembered. The color was creamy and colorful, and the chocolate launched in there is like medicine for fever or even after having tonsils out.

As she was watching her and Mo's ice cream being made, someone caught her eye and music swam through her ears. Scanning at the location, she noticed an Asian, Korean, to be exact, dancing to "You're A Jerk", a song that Luce is a fan of. She looked at him from head to toe and noticed that part of his hair was highlighted in yellow, matching his maroon clothing. It seemed that Mo was not the only one wearing a jacket, which made Luce feel concern for the Asian. What was also different is that one of his pants legs rolled up, making it look like half shorts and pants. For some reason, she felt that today is National Wear A Jacket In Summer's Heat Day.

She blinked at the routine he was doing, and it was just impressive. The way he moved to the beat of the song shows that he has his own swag. She was so distracted, the owner of the stand snapped his fingers at Luce to get her attention. "Your ice creams are ready," he told her, feeling impatient and displeased. She rolled her eyes due to his rude statement and hurried to Mo to give him his treat.

The African-American's eyes looked surprised by her own actions, clutching his ice cream while she panted from hurrying up to him. "What up, girl?" he asked curiously. She gave him his ice cream and pointed at the dancing boy with her free hand. While looking at him, there were a few teens watching him, praising him for how he was dancing.

"I think I found your student, Mo," Luce said with a smile. She hurried with her ice cream and licked it enjoyably, feeling the freshness of the mint and chocolate. Mo looked at the dancing Asian and noticed he was dancing to one of his favorite tunes "Soulja Boy". He slowly lit up a smile while the Korean was doing "Supah Man", noticing how accurate it was to the beat. He instructed Luce to follow him, and she did, heading up with him to watch the young teen dance like a genius.

Luce looked at the Korean with a big smile, impressed that he is younger than her and Mo, yet danced like them. While licking the remaining ice cream, she noticed that the Asian was looking at her and Mo. She finished it along with the waffle cone while Mo just swallowed it whole, well almost did. When the finishing move appeared, a couple of teenage girls screamed like they won the raffle drawings. They complimented him, and he smiled at them, making them faint together.

Mo and Luce clapped at his performance, walking up to him. The dance genius took off his jacket, revealing himself in a blue plus light purple tank top. He used the jacket to wipe himself off from the dancing he just finished and noticed the two teens heading to him with smiles on their faces. After finished wiping it off, he moved his headphones to be around his neck.

"Yo, did you see my last move? I thought it was dope, but I believe that it would have been a bit better," he spoke up, smiling at them. Luce nodded, grinning at the fact that his voice sounded cute for his age.

"It was actually really good, man!" Mo said with enthusiasm. "Hey, you've heard of Dance Central Intelligence, right?" The Asian nodded, crossing his arms. His face look worried after what he did.

"Please don't tell them that I hacked into their system in order to put extra information that they didn't add in," he said to them almost worriedly, but he cracked a smile despite that. Luce and Mo looked at each other, confused, and felt that they were talking to a hacker. Luce snapped her fingers, remembering something.

"Wait, you're the one who caused glitches in the Dance Central website?" she asked, her curiosity rising.

"Yep, that's how I got my name Glitch!" the Korean said smiling at Luce with a quick wink. She blinked, never knowing that Glitch would actually flirt with her, at least and hopefully just only today.

"How old are you, little man?" Mo asked.

"I'll be fifteen in November," Glitch replied.

"Then I think you can have a slot in my crew Hi-Def! You have amazing skills, but I would like to teach you some of my moves. Would you like that, Glitch?" The Korean thought about it for a second, then came to his decision with a nod. Luce smiled, happy that Mo got his crew partner. Now that Mo and Emilia got their crews organized, now it's time for her to find out if Angel got Aubrey in his crew. She took her phone out and called her best friend, waiting until he replied.

"How's it going, Luce?" Angel said over the phone. Luce smiled when he picked up the call.

"Mo and I found his protegé already, so do you think you can pick me up and we can head over to Aubrey's to ask her to join your crew?"

"All right; where are you then?" he asked.

"We're at North Central Street, near the ice cream stop," Luce replied, not too long before she found Mo looking at her worriedly. She frowned, never knowing that he would be that way after finding his protegé. "So you'll pick me up by then, Angel?"

"Yeah; I'll be there in a few minutes." Once he hung up, Luce went to Mo and Glitch, revealing a sweet smile.

"Is everything okay, Mo?"

"Are you sure you don't want me to take you there? I don't mind driving you to Aubrey's place and then coming back here to teach Glitch." Luce breathed through her nose, placing her hand on his shoulder, even though his height is around six feet. She showed off her teeth with a smile, chuckling to make him feel happy.

"It's all right. You don't have to do everything for me; I'll be responsible for what I want. I'm going to meet up with you and the others at the last dance anyway." She closed her mouth, smiling still, right before Mo wrapped his arm around Luce's shoulders, giving her a short hug and smiling after leaving it. Seeing the two gave the Asian an idea, but he didn't seem to act so pleasedly at least a bit.

"So are you two going out or something, because I'm sensing that you've known each other for so long?" Glitch replied with a smirk. Luce raised an eyebrow from his educated guess. Luce laughed it off and waited for Mo to answer the question.

"Actually, I have my girl named Taye," Mo told his protegé. "I believe her little sister T is on your grade level, so you probably know Flash4wrd?" Glitch nodded, understanding his new mentor's words.

"Maybe I'll get taller, and I can have you someday, Luce," Glitch said to Luce, smiling at her in a flirty way. Luce laughed innocently and nervously but made sure it wasn't in a way of being annoyed. Not that she gets younger guys flirting with her when she walks by, it's just that she prefers older guys because they're more mature. She had a couple of admirers at her school, but she declined them since she doesn't want anything to do with the drama plus romance in school, rumors, or having to worry about looking good in front of them.

"I'll think about it, Glitch," she said playfully, but almost making it sound like she was serious. "I'll see you around, Hi-Def!" she called out Mo's crew name. She waited for her childhood friend to be at the alley of the street. From here to Angel's house, it would only take a couple of minutes, and it would be the perfect place to practice dancing in an area where no one would even interfere.

Speaking of which, he was already there in front of her, smiling from the driver's seat. Luce chuckled and smiled, getting into the passenger's seat beside him.

"I doubt she would even agree to this Luce," Angel told her, driving off to Aubrey's house after he spoke. "Even if we have the same taste and style, the Queen won't be satisfied." Luce smiled at him and patted his back for a second.

"Don't worry, Angel. I have a plan if she rejects you. It will definitively work, and she'll have to say yes so she wouldn't face my consequences." Usually, when she helps Angel, it works from time to time, depending on what the subject is, but ''Miss'' Aubrey, as she goes by when she's a dancer at night, is unpredictable.

For her and Aubrey's history, it was a complicated, but rather normal relationship they have. At first, Luce can tell that she was snobby enough not to care for anyone but her money and for what her family would buy her. Luce can relate to her since her mother was a millionaire, but Aubrey is far more rich than her. The only thing that was good about her is that she respected Luce's mom's dancing, not only her dancing teachers made her become one, but it was also Luce's mother that inspired her to become the best one ever alive.

So far, that's the only reason why Aubrey had a soft spot for her anyway... Despite saying some mixed comments about Luce, Aubrey looked up Luce's moves, but sometimes it's like she wants to copy them, kind of like plagiarizing her. But for her shallow, but honest personality, she would usually let it slide. What keeps her from being a best friend is Emilia being there first and prank-calling her every chance she gets. Sure they hang out sometimes, but that's when Aubrey has her nice side phases, which happens at least once or twice a month.

Once they parked around the fountain, the two friends went out of the car and went to the front door, heading up the stairs first things first. It was thirty steps of nothing but time-consuming, but once Luce rang the doorbell, no later Aubrey appeared in her "Princess" outfit. It was pretty, but what bothered some people like Luce and Emilia are that she was wearing a dress, Luce would wear a skirt in dancing, but she would always wear shorts under it for safety and appropriate reasons. The pro on the dress is that it's not too short and not too long, and flips and other stuff that requires a lot of energy aren't the case for her type of dancing. The con is well... it's a dress.

"I don't mind Luce being here, but what are you doing here?" Aubrey referred to Angel. On the inside, Luce would slap her for being rude to her friend. Since she's good at hiding her real emotions, she smiled and decided to answer her question.

"Actually, Aubrey, we're here because Angel wants you to join his crew. As much as I understand your... dislike of him, you do compliment him in a dancing way. So would you please join..." She looked at Angel for a second. "Tell her your crew name."

"Lu$h, with a dollar sign. You shall be the Queen, and I am the Ace. Anything you want will be my command if you accept my offer in my crew." A few seconds of silence was later added, which can result in crickets being in their cue. After the silence had broken off, Aubrey scoffed and rolled her eyes, turning her back on the two.

"No thanks," she said coldly. Luce sighed, her glare heating up a bit. "Even though my girlfriends formed their crew, I'd rather go solo than be with you."

You leave me no choice then, she thought, stopping the door from closing, which made Aubrey look back. "Aubrey, please join his crew or Claire and I will force you to go out on a romantic, long, and wonderful date with him." Luce frowned and removed her glare. "Trust me, you don't want to get on my bodyguard's bad side, and I don't want you to reject Angel like this. You may even beat me and the others in DCI's upcoming tournament. Angel's moves are amazing and crowd worthy."

Aubrey didn't seem pleased at the thought of being Angel's girlfriend if she was rejected, but she was in the gutter, so she would either make her "perfect" life hell or just follow what she was being offered. "Fine. However, I choose the clothing, pick the songs, and where our dance venue will be at."

"That's good with me then," Angel said with a grin, leaving Luce to his car. "Goodbye, Hermosa." Luce didn't know what he just said to Aubrey, but she knew it was a compliment. As Luce headed to the car, she received a text message from Dare, which was urgent.

"What's up?" Angel asked before leaving Aubrey's mansion. Luce read the message and realized that her day wasn't done.

"Today's the last three-man dance-off. According to Emilia, Bodie couldn't make it because he has lifeguard duties tonight. Dare and Emilia are already there with MacCoy, along with Mo and his new protegé. We should head there; it's at '5th Period.'" Angel nodded, and with a smile, headed off to the destination. His smile faded, realizing that it was a class, not a place.

"Hold up, Luce. At lunchtime? Isn't it almost six? If it's in a lunchroom, then which school is it?" Luce looked at Dare's message again, parting her lips in small surprise.

"Central High; our school," Luce murmured. Not that she hated her former high school, she just didn't expect DCI even to choose her school's cafeteria. The last three-man group dance-off shall be interesting, to say the least.

~Chapter Seven coming soon...~

(~::...::~)(~::...::~)(~::...::~)(~::...::~)(~::...::~)(~::...::~)(~::...::~)

Oh man, I can hear the Glitch fan girls come to me and say that Glitch will not date Luce. *hides from you all* Personally, I never planned to make a Glitch/OC story at all for some reason.

As for Glitch, he was supposed to be mischievous for his age and all that I put up there. :P He's one of my favorite characters, so I'll be making sure that I'll put him up in more chapters; heck, he's one of the main characters in my story.

I'm looking forward to getting working on the next chapter, especially what's going to happen in it. So I hope you are, and I hope to see you soon! ^_^ And if you see multiple emails if you're on my author alerts, that means I'm working on my other fanfic that is also in progress, so don't get your hopes high if you aren't aware of that fan base. Other than that, updates here are still coming soon! ^_^

Would you kindly review~? ;) You know you want to.
