| Chapter 18- Classical Meets Pop �Whoa, looking good Sparks,� Justin flashed her a smile as she came into the dance studio. She was waring tight black dance pants and a black sports bra, which showed off her flat stomache. �Cool it Spanky,� Mercedes rolled her eyes as she walked by. �You gonna help us Wade?� �Yeah, it�s not like I got anything better to do,� Wade answered. �OK,� Mercedes went over to her bar and started stretching out. �So, you boys got any ideas for this dance?� �Actually, I do,� Justin spoke out. Mercedes looked over at him. �I was thinking we could have the dance start with a slow classical song, doing the old just ballet moves. Then it could go into a fast pace song of one of today�s hit songs, with some of the moves I�ve been teaching you.� Mercedes nodded her head thoughtfully. �I like it, sorta a classical meets pop.� �Yeah, you got it,� Justin said. Mercedes eyes lit up, as she ran over to the stereo and grabbed a cd putting it in. She then started to do various moves. The song wasn�t classical, but it fitted. Justin and Wade watched as she worked out a routine, both calling out their tips for her. �So what about the fast song?� Mercedes questioned awhile later, taking a gulp from her water bottle. �I�ve got the perfect song,� Wade smiled, as he switched cds. As the fast paced song started playing, a large smile spread over Mercedes� face. �This will work.� The three of them spent the rest of the day mixing both songs together and practicing the dance none stop. By the end of the day all three collapsed exhausted on the ground. �This dance is perfect,� Mercedes said smiling big. �If this doesn�t get me into the ABC, I don�t know what will!� �It better!� Wade said. �I�m so sick of seeing your ugly mug around here!� �Haha, very funny, I love you too,� Mercedes said sarcastly. �I say we go out and celebrate,� Wade announced, sitting up. �Sounds good to me,� Mercedes said, also sitting up to stretch. �I�m gonna head home now,� Justin said standing up, sensing that this was a brother and sister bonding session. �Aren�t you gonna come with us, Justin?� Mercedes questioned. Justin hesitated, looking over at Wade. �Yeah man, come with us,� Wade said. �You�re part of the reason we get to celebrate, since you came up with quite a bit of the dance.� �Fine, I�ll come,� Justin sighed. |
