Y/N POV:

I stand in the dance studio as I wait for Johnny to finish up. But his dance teacher was horrible. Just the worst. I had my own number in the show but I didn't need to dance. No I was set up with the sweetest gymnastics teacher. She let me go early. And waiting on Johnny... well the time just tripled.

-You we're loose, do it again! The teacher yells and hits Johnnys back with a stick. I already tried to stand up to him and it just made it worse. Johnny groans and stands back up and the playback starts over. This whole thing was a mess... as I listen I dream back of when I first met Johnny.

Flashback, third person POV:

Y/N had been a showgirl at a local bar. She was paid whatever the owner thought she was worth that night and lived by the paycheck. But that day, Buster had decided to send everyone out to search for new talent for a show. He sent everyone out with cameras to film people at bars, cafés, things like that. Johnny had been assigned to a small nice bar that was open daytime because Buster had seen some talent on their website. So he had sat down and filmed the first few acts and then everyone else had given up and came there for a lunch break.

So while the food had been ordered, it was time for a new act, this time it was Y/N. And she was beautiful. Wore a dress in sequins and everything. She was glowing and walking into stage as confident as possible. Everyone's attention was drawn to her as she hits the first notes

(I can't feel my face cover from SING 2 soundtrack)

-And I know he'll be the death of me, At least we'll both be numb, she started and Johnny presses record.

-And he'll always get the best of me, The worst is yet to come, But at least we'll both be beautiful and stay forever young; This I know, yeah, this I know, Johnny gets drawn to her as she starts moving around.

-He told me, "Don't worry about it", Y/N opens her eyes and Johnnys heart immediately skips a beat.

-He told me, "Don't worry no more", she sways.

-We both know we can't go without it, he told me, "You'll never be alone", oh, oh, woo, the tempo gets louder and she start dancing.

-I can't feel my face when I'm with you, Y/N points out in the crowd.

-But I love it, but I love it, oh, I can't feel my face when I'm with you. But I love it, but I love it, oh, she then walks out onto the stage.

-And I know he'll be the death of me, At least we'll both be numb, Y/N sees the gorilla pointing a camera at her and she gets an idea.

-And he'll always get the best of me, The worst is yet to come, she looks down on the floor.

-All the misery was necessary when we're deep in love, This I know. Boy, I know, she looks right at Johnny and he holds his breath.

-He told me, "Don't worry about it", Y/N takes a step off of the stage.

-He told me, "Don't worry no more", Buster is whole heartedly impressed by the girl and is swaying to the beat.

-We both know we can't go without it, he told me, "You'll never be alone", oh, oh, woo, Y/N starts smiling and works even harder for her check.

-I can't feel my face when I'm with you

But I love it, but I love it, oh, Y/N points at Johnny.

-I can't feel my face when I'm with you

But I love it, but I love it, Johnny blushes. Hard.

-Oh, I can't feel my face when I'm with you

But I love it, but I love it, oh, Y/N receives some tips by people sitting by the stage and she smiles gratefully.

-I can't feel my face when I'm with you

But I love it, but I love it, oh, Johnny thought he might have melted into a puddle right there when he and the girl locks eyes.

Y/N walks slowly up to Johnnys table, keeping eye contact all the way there.

-He told me, "Don't worry about it", she comes so close to him.

-He told me, "Don't worry no more", Y/N puts a hand on Johnnys shoulder and walks around him tauntingly, feeling his tenseness.

-We both know we can't go without it, she lets go of him and he looks at her with an intense stare.

-He told me, "You'll never be alone", oh, oh, woo, Y/N walks around the table and back towards the stage.

-I can't feel my face when I'm with you, she sings and hops back onto stage and people applaud loudly, Johnny and his friends too.

-But I love it, but I love it, oh, I can't feel my face when I'm with you; But I love it, but I love it, oh, Y/N points directly at Johnnys table with a smile, a real smile.

-I can't feel my face when I'm with you, people clap to the rhythm.

-But I love it, but I love it, oh, I can't feel my face when I'm with you, But I love it, but I love it, oh I can't feel my face, hey, Y/N finishes the song and is greeted with the biggest applause she's ever seen.

-Johnny you can go ahead and save that recording, I want her in my show! Buster yells in happiness. Johnny couldn't help but smile himself. He was going to see more of her. It's more than he could've ever wished.

Back to current time, Y/N POV:

Johnny is finally let go from the class and he immediately picks me up from the floor and hurriedly runs from the studio.

-Couldn't stand another moment in there, Johnny gasps for air as he slows down.

-I know, that guy is an asshole, I growl. Johnny stops and his hands shake as he holds his skateboard and he turns quiet.

-Johnny? I ask worriedly. This silence was eerie. He then takes a breath and smashes his skateboard out on the ground. I gasp and a moment later his face softens up and he kneels down to pick up the pieces. He then sighs at himself and throws the pieces in the trash.

-Johnny... breathe, I remind him as he starts walking slowly.

-We're gonna have to find someone that can help me dance, or else I'm out, Johnny sighs.

-Wait, what do you mean "out"? I ask and stop him in his tracks.

-Out of the show! I mean I can't do the dance and he's not helping so why would I continue? Johnny says frustrated.

-Ok let's not get too far ahead of us here. We still have two weeks until it's showtime, don't even worry about it. Now it sounds like you could use some food in that stomach, let's go eat, I say.

-Yeah... thanks Y/N Johnny smiles.

-No worries. C'mon, I can help you find a new skateboard tomorrow, I say as we head towards the hotels restaurant. He was so sweet, god... what would I even do if he wasn't in this thing with me?

The next day:

Johnny and I are out in the city for lunch, so that he could buy himself a new skateboard since he totaled his yesterday. He looks happily at the new board and I smile. He could be so happy for the smallest thing... my face warms up and I blush a little. Suddenly we hear loud music and I stop. Johnny looks confused at me and I push through the crowd around the music to see what the ruckus was about. Johnny was tall enough to look over everyone's heads. There was a girl breakdancing expertly to the music and I light up with an idea. I clap my hands to the beat as she dances and she is fully into her moves. When she stops dancing she collects money in her hat. I drop a dollar into it and she thanks me.

-Y/N let's go! We need to head back soon! Johnny urges.

-Just one moment! I tell him and walk after the girl.

-Hey, you were great! I compliment her.

-Oh thank you, she says and continues to collect cash.

-Hey I have a question- I can't right now, gotta go, she interrupts me.

-Well me and my friend was just about to head for lunch. Could we interest you in a coffee or something? I ask.

-No I'm good, she waves me off.

-But I really need your help, I say and she looks over her shoulder and we see an angry mall cop point at her.

-You know what, a coffee sounds great, let's go, she covers her face with a hood and hooks through my arm as she briskly walks off. As we pass a confused Johnny I grab his hand and lead us all to a nearby retro cafè. I quickly maneuver us inside and we sit down. We order our lunch and she orders a big volcano sundae, the most expensive thing on the menu of course. We pay the server.

-What are you doing? Johnny whispers to me as the girl, who's name is Nooshy we learned, happily looks at the sundae.

-I'm getting you a dance teacher, I whisper back.

-What? Johnny asks.

-He really needs your help, I break the silence.

-With what? She asks.

-He has the worst dance teacher, some old dude who probably wears a beret in the bath, I sigh and mentally roll my eyes just by the thought of the man.

-Yeah some weirdo who's supposed to be the best dance teacher in red shore city, Johnny adds.

-How do I know you're not a weirdo, she asks.

-You don't, I answer honestly.

-But he can show you that he's not a weirdo, I hype him up.

-How? Why didn't he ask me himself then? Nooshy asks.

-He gets nervous around talent, I whisper loudly and Johnny snickers and shoves me gently and I laugh back.

-Well you have to prove that you're not a weirdo, Nooshy leans back and points at Johnny.

-Sure. Take it away Johnny, I say and Johnny starts tapping his finger to the beat of the song that's playing on the speakers. He mumbles softly to the melody. He starts full on singing and I smile. His voice always made me so happy, just by a simple note. He stands up and gains the attention of everyone in the cafè who claps along.

-You really are a weirdo!Nooshy laughs.

-So... you'll help me? Johnny asks.

-Sure, she says. She then leans towards me.

-Is be your boyfriend or like... what's the deal? She asks.

-My boyf... no. No no no he's my best friend, I say and blush profusely.

-U-Huh... way to put him in the friendzone, she says quietly as Johnny sits back down from receiving some applause. What did she mean by that...?

Johnny POV:

Nooshy managed to convince mr. Kickenklober to have three days with me. To teach me the moves... but I am set to that I can't do this, I wasn't built to dance. I start stretching in an abandoned parking garage as Nooshy puts down her speaker.

-So Y/N... When are you gonna ask her out? she asks suddenly.

-I'm sorry what? I ask.

-Yeah. You know I saw how you two looked at each other, you two got real chemistry, she says and I start stammering.

-Oh come on just admit that you like her! She urges and starts the music.

-Well yeah a little... I say.

-That's sad. Now dance! She throws at me and I start the moves but Gail since I was put on the spot.

-Oh geez, Nooshy face palms.

Y/N POV:

Today has been a looong day. Buster almost got killed by me Crystal and now we're all packed up.

-I can't believe mr Crystal would do that, Johnny says in disbelief as we walk towards Busters hotel room with all of our luggage.

-I could, Nooshy says.

-Honestly I don't wanna be next so let's just leave, I say.

-Yeah... hey Gunter I have a question, Nooshy runs ahead to Gunter and sparks a conversation with him.

-Are you ok? Johnny asks me.

-Yeah... just anxious, I breathe.

-You? I try smiling up at him.

-Well I just wanna go home, Johnny says.

-Yeah... I miss my own bed, I laugh and he chuckles.

-Guys quiet down! Rosita tells us and we all turn quiet and knock on Busters room door. It takes a while but the door finally opens and there stands....

-Clay Calloway! Mrs Crawley says and faints.

-Oh jeez, Johnny says and picks her up.

-Guys! Guys come in quickly! Buster ushers us inside.

-Ok we have to leave, the operation is off, we have to leave right now, Buster says hurriedly.

-Ok... but we'd have to leave now before security- I get cut off by a knock on the door.

-That's definitely not room service, I stop Gunter in his tracks.

-Buster open up the door! Muffled voices yell through the door.

-Let's go! Buster says and heads for the big window.

-What? Ash asks.

-We have to jump, it's not that far, Buster says.

-Are you crazy? I ask. Yells are heard again and they try to push down the door.

-Just enough to stay alive! Buster says and jumps.

-Ok I guess we'll all just jump! Gunter says and we all follow suit.
