Chapter 19 Love Is In The Air

Stormy's POV

As I was sitting on the bench outside Peter's office, Owlette walked in and sad me.

"Hey, Owlette where's John?* Owlette asked.

"At the Mer Academy, he made it in." I told her as she sat down next to me on the bench.

"Stormy, we're ready for you." Izzy exclaimed as she came around.

"Okay." I answered as I got up.

"Good luck, Stormy!" Owlette said as she patted me on the back as she walked over to the team.

I was standing in front of the entire team looking at me. They were really annoyed at me especially Cubby. They all didn't look too happy to see me.

"I rather dance here or I don't dance. I'm alone. That's it. They look really angry.

"Stormy, the way you handled yourself was completely inappropriate." Peter exclaimed.

"Because of your actions, you're going to be auditioning like everybody else." Red Jessica told me.

"Okay, um I just...I have no clothes." I said.

"You can just dance like that." Izzy exclaimed as she looked at what I was wearing.

"Okay." I answered.

I might as well try. At least if I try, then I know, rather than just go home.

The music started to play as I began to dance.

"Stop." Izzy said as i stopped dance while the music was turned off.

"Okay, I'm sorry I'll go." I told her as I began to tear up while walking towards the door.

"No, I mean stop Stormy, we know you can dance. That's why we need you in Troupe A." Izzy told me as I stopped walking turned around as she looked at me straight in the eye.

Then I immediately hugged her, as she hugged me back while I behan to cry. We both let go of each other as I wipe my eyes.

"Thank you." I exclaimed as we both went back to the team while Cubby came running towards me and hugged me tight.

"Uh, Cubby...can't...breathe." I said as he immediately let go.

"Look Cubby, I am so sorry that I broke up with you. Can we please get back together?" I asked.

"Well, talk about that later." Cubby exclaimed.

"Welcome back, Stormy!" Cubby said as everyone began to hug me.

"Oh my. I love you all too." I said as I was crying happy tears while Cubby was whipping them away.

"Thanks guys!" I said.

"Cheer up kid." Red Jessica exclaimed as I began to laugh.

"Looks like we u have one spot to fill now." Peter said as Owlette hugged me.

Owlette's POV

As I was dancing in Studio A, by myself i was just getting in some extra practice time Rehearsing my solo and...just dancing. I was dancing to the song make me crazy. As I then heard Bart clapping.

"That was unreal!" Bart exclaimed.

"Thank you that's the most point what are you doing here you're not supposed to be here." I told him.

"True... Bam!" Bart said as he was showing me his math exam.

"Oh my God, I'm happy for you congratulations Bart!" I said as I hugged him and he hugged me back.

"It's across a pass!" Bart exclaimed.

"That's amazing!" I told him.

"Oh I'm sweating sorry." I apologized.

"It's not just to B I'm a B!" Bart exclaimed.

"That's so amazing." I said.

"Well, uh you know what that means right?" Bart asked.

"Yeah, you're back in troupe A!" I said.

Bart's POV

"True, true. Um but it means you owe me a date." I said as I could tell Owlette was really excited.

And kind of nervous too. She doesn't know she just has to wait and see how it goes.

Cubby's POV

As Stormy and I were inside Peter's Cafe drinking some water, we were talking about our break up.

"So, what have you learned Stormy?" I asked.

"That going to the mer Academy was a bad idea, and that breaking up with you made you really upset. I saw that in your eyes." Stormy said.

"Good, now why did you go to the Mer Academy in the first place?" I wanted to know.

"Because I thought Peter Pan and Red Jessica forgot about me." Stormy explained.

"Ah, it's okay. But when you feel these things don't just start arguing with me and go to another studio come find me and we can sort this out." I told her.

"Look... Cubby, I'm...I'm...sorry." Stormy said as she got up and walked over to me.

"Hey, shh, shh it's okay, okay I forgive you. But you need to know that I'm really sensitive when it comes to you breaking up with me. I was crying all night last night on my bed." I told her.

"You, you were?" Stormy asked.

"Yes. I even got you a welcome back present." I told her.

"But I am not sure if you deserve it, you really hurt my feelings when you broke up with me." I said.

"Yeah about that... Hehe, okay, you're going to laugh when you hear about this but I I did agreed to go on a date with John darling. Hehe, oh yeah and I kissed him on the cheek." Stormy said.

"Then I don't see why we should continue this relationship since you asked another boy out on a date. You don't deserve this necklace. I might change the graving from favorite girlfriend to favorite niece, princess will enjoy this. Have fun on your date with JOHN WE ARE OVER STORMY MERMAID!" I yelled as I took the box that had the necklace and left leaving my ex-girlfriend alone.

Bart's POV

As I walked in, it was my first day back at the studio the boys were sitting down and the girls were actually rehearsing their parts the song great to be back at the studio. For a minute there I really thought that I wasn't coming back. Everyone came over to hug me.

"Bart you're back!" They all said as the boys especially Jake ruffled my hair while they all laughed.

"I'm not a teddy bear okay?" I said as they started to clap.

"Actually no might be a great time to let you guys know who the newest member of Troupe A is." Peter told us.

"Ooh!" Everyone exclaimed.

"You guys excited?" Peter wanted to know.

"Yeah?" We all said.

"Okay the tenth member of troop a is... Lisa!" Peter said as Lisa walked inside the studio with all of us cheering and clapping along with hugging her.

"I'm back!" Lisa exclaimed as we both hugged each other.

"I...right?" Lisa said.

"Yeah." I told her as Izzy and Lisa shared a hug.

"Uh okay so guys um...me and Izzy were talking and...I think it would be a good idea if we came up with a new routine for Regionals." Stormy told us as Peter was now confused.

"Why?" Peter wanted to know.

"John might share our old routine with the people at The Mer Academy." Stormy explained.

"You know we don't want to show up at regionals with the same routine as the mer Academy so just...we got to be careful." Izzy said.

"Okay." Peter answered.

"And I also came up with the idea that Jake and I could only do it in the new piece." Izzy exclaimed as she looked at Jake whole he nods.

"Oh! That's a great idea!" Peter said with excitement.

"Okay, well you guys want to get started by your way?" Peter asked.

"Yeah!" We all cheered.

"Jake and Izzy, why don't both of you hop into Studio B." Peter told them.

"All right." Jake said as he took Izzy's hand and ran with her to Studio B.

"Great!" Peter exclaimed.

"All right, while the two couples work on their duet in Studio B, I don't want the rest of you guys to start working on some new choreography let's get started!" Peter told us.

"Yeah!" We all cheered again with excitement.

"All right!" Peter said.

Jake's POV

As i was working with my girlfriend Izzy, on our duet, it was going great, and really well too.

"Hey, Jake I can even go like fall back." Izzy said.

"Ooh, and I'll catch you." I told her.

"Then you can catch me and like..." Izzy exclaimed.

"I'll catch you! So..." I exclaimed.

"Push me back up." Izzy said as I did.

"Yeah!" I told her.

We seem to be on the same page about the choreography. We're almost saying the exact same idea at the exact same time.

"And i do a jump like this." Izzy showed me.

"Yeah!" I answered.

"Yeah?" I questioned.

"Yeah I like that!" I told her.

Working with Izzy on the duet is great.

Bart's POV

As we were working out the details of it. The song we are dancing to is Just wanna be With You. The story of the dance is more like two opposites creating a force contemporary and hip hop and kind of the fusion of these two things it's still in the early stages but it's looking pretty good so far.

"Lisa, great job licking up the choreography Lisa! Way to go!" Peter told her.

Cubby then began to do his solo as we all moved back. But something was off about him this is so unlike him to be marking. I have a feeling Cubby's injury isn't going to go away.

"Cubby, out." Peter told him.

"Cubby cam I speak to you in my office?"

Cubby's POV

My marking the routine simply because i want my ankle to fully heal before regionals. I injured it a few weeks back but it's been much better lately.

"Cubby why are you marking your solo?" Peter asked.

"Oh um..." I stuttered.

"I thought I heard you say that someone was marking it this time." I said.

"I think it must be that uh..." I said.

With regionals so close instinctively I'm just trying not to burn out." I told him.

"You need to practice full out all the time." Peter said.

"You're right, I'm sorry." I apologized.

"Cubby, Bart is your understudy. He's working on the solo." Peter exclaimed.

"He's ready and he could come in and take it from you in a heartbeat." Peter told me.

Once Peter threatened to give my solo to Bart Simpson that pretty much tears my heart out. It's everything I worked for.

"I'll do it! I'll do it full out, I promise." I said.

"Good. Now, get back in there." Peter exclaimed.

"Okay Peter, you got it!" I answered.

I am going to work harder than ever and I'm going to make sure I keep my solo.

Izzy's POV

Jake and I are still rehearsing our duet in studio B. We were dancing to I Need To Let You Know. The concept of our idea is I am scared to go and do something and I have to learn to trust Jake to help mw get through what I'm doing. Jake helps me through my struggles and by the end I'm ready to face any fears that i have. It's just great energy and chemistry between us. We're really connecting and it's magical.

Bart's POV

As I was in Studio A, I was waiting for Owlette. I have set up this amazing date for her and me. I am putting every inch of my brainpower into this date. I really hope she enjoys it. As Owlette walked in through the door, I got up.

"Hi, why are we meeting here?" Owlette asked.

"Come on!" Bart said as he grabbed my hand and brought me into Studio A.

I choose studio A because it's where I first met Owlette. Any guy can take a any girl to a restaurant. This is original.

"This is not very romantic." Owlette told me.

"What? There's more to it than you think." I said as I reached into my pocket and handed her a passport.

"Bart what's this? Also, where did you get my yearbook photo?" Owlette wanted to know.

"Don't worry about it." I exclaimed.

I gave Owlette a passport because I know she loves to fly and travel

"Okay, sorry." Owlette apologized as I smiled.

"Yeah, it's all good we're going to have fun. Come on I'll show you." I said as I grabbed her and to show her our date.

Cubby's POV

As I was in studio B rehearsing my combo, After Peter noticing me marking the solo I really wanted to see if my ankle could handle pushing myself a littler harder. My ankle injury is a lot better so I'm really happy it seems like it's healing as I was done dancing.

"Yes!" I exclaimed while jumping in the air. My ankle feels really great so I think I'm going to be able to get back into everything full swing and no one will even have to know that I was injured.

That's when Finn walked into the Studio.

"Hey, Cubby." Finn said.

"Hi, Finn!" I exclaimed.

"Hey!" Finn answered.

I'm a little nervous when Finn entered because I got the tensor bandage in and I hope Finn didn't see anything.

"Cubby, is everything all right?" Finn wanted to know.

"Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah let's go." I told him.

"You sure?" Finn exclaimed as we both walked out of Studio B.

"Um, I'm actually going to hang back for a sec I'll be right back." I told him.

"All right dude I'll see you there." Finn said.

"Okay." I answered.

As Finn opened the door and walked out, i watched Finn leave and watches as the door closed. Once the door was fully closed, I sat down and quickly took off my bandage off my ankle than placed it in my bag.

I don't want anyone to know about my injury because if they did find out then they could possibly take the solo away from me and is that my one big moment to shine at regionals.

Owlette's POV

As Bart lead me to a chair, hw pushed me on it.

"And before we get a little bit of food from each one, I'm going to stamp your passport." Bart said.

"So what country do you want to go to first?" Bart wanted to know.

"Hmm, surprise me." I told him.

"Okay, well I think I'm going to go to America first, just because I love the burgers." Bart said.

"Hehe, you're a burger lover." I teased.

Owlette's always wanted to travel the world.

"Okay we have to stamp your passport first." I told her.

"Hehe, of course." Owlette said as I definitely have her attention now as I gave her burgers and fries.

"Bon appetit!" I exclaimed.

"Oh Bart, you flatter me." Owlette said as I blushed.

"Okay, I would love to go to India please?" Owlette asked with her baby eyes.

"How can I say no to that adorable face of yours Owlette?" I complemented.

Owlette built up this idea in her head of what a first date was supposed to look like.

"Hmm, that looks good." Owlette said.

Owlette's POV

Now, I realize that it's not the most important part at all.

"Welcome to India, my adorable cute Owlette." Bart told me as we were having fun on our date.

"Cheers!" We both exclaimed as Bart and I taped our glasses together.

"Excuse Me, Ms. Owlette may I have this dance?" Bart wanted to know.

"Hehe, such a gentleman. And of course Mr. Simpson." I answered as he took my hand and we danced together.

We were slow dancing as I started to rest my head on Bart's shoulder as we continued to slow dance.

As far as first dates go, this one was pretty perfect.
