A/N I know I know I haven't updated in 5000 years. Sue me. My life comes before updating. Without further a damna do here we go!

Comment something nice and make my day please!!!

*Callen's POV*

"Hello everyone and welcome back to the National Hip Hop Competition! Welcome our two finalists gunning for the money and the almighty title of the competition! We welcome 4 time reining champions Bone Breakers!!" The host of the competition boomed through the microphone.

The crowd screams and cheers as they walk out. 4 time reining champions my ass. They wont make it to 5 if I have anything to say about it.

"Come on guys we're up" I say leading our group through the entrance.

"And now the new kids on the block Hearttomybeat! Ain't that a mouthful" the presenter laughs.

The crowd cheered and applauded at the idea of newbies taking on their reigning champion.

With my hand in Eva's I lead my team out onto the dance floor where we will battle it out for the victory.

"Good luck chumps! You'll need it" The leader of the bone breajers says to me.

Brushing off his stupid comment, I turn to my team before the song and time with begin.

"My god I'm nervous" Eva says shaking.

"Aren't we all" I laugh. "I'm about to get all mushy so take it or leave it"

"I'll leave it" Josh volunteers.

Everyone glares at him.

"Joking, joking sheesh" He says rejoining the circle.

" So guys I'm so happy we made it this far. This has been the biggest journey and I'm so glad we could go on it together. Whatever the outcome is today we have done so already, it wont matter. Do the best you can, remember the routine, if you have a chance to steal the spotlight do it, get in their faces, be intimidating. Hands in" I say putting my hand out in the middle of the circle.

Hands followed my gesture until all our hands were in.

"1 , 2 ,3 HEARTBEATS" We all yell in unison.

The DJ walked over and I stepped forward, aswell as the leader of the other group.

" You know the rules. You get one song to prove yourselves, if you see an opportunity take it. Call this if you win you start" he said flicking a coin in the air.

"Heads" I butt in before my opponent got the chance.

"Heads it is" he said picking the coin from the ground. "Good luck boys" he says walking back to his turntables.

"We don't need luck" The leader of the other group said before heading back to his group.

Maybe this time you do...

~~~~~~~~~

I saw an opportunity and I took it.

The song was nearly finished and we were getting smashed, pummeled you know what I'm saying. We all knew we were screwed but I wasn't giving up just yet, definitely not without a fight.

Their routine was slowing down in quickness and I knew this was Eva and I's chance to step in and do our duet section of our routine.

"Let's go" I said looking at her.

Her face showed signs of confusion but understanding as she walked out into the middle of the dance floor. I was right behind her. I always will be...

I knew there was about 30 seconds till the end of the song. 30 seconds to make the judges notice us instead of them.

Me and Eva started our duet. The applause of the audience was just a blur. Everything was a blur except her. She started moving and doing the twists and turns that would set us aside from the others.

It's not all about hip hop. There are other forms of dance. She is one of them I've decided. An own dance style in her own right.

Mesmerised by her movements and her extensions, I have to work just as hard and exceptional as she is to match her pace and technique.

I grab her and lift her around my body.

10...

Balance her as she twirls perfectly.

9...

I place my head to the ground and do a quick head spin and hear the ground roar in the distance.

8...

The audience stands to their feet entranced by the new kids on the block.

7...

The judges nod their heads and smile in disbelief at the underdogs.

6...

Eva giggles as she sashays to the right and incorporates her ballet style into the hip hop battle.

5...

Mere seconds before the song ends and everyone is on the edge of their seats waiting to see what will happen next.

4...

The ending move is taking shape, Eva walks towards me where I am knelt down in front of her.

3...

I grab Eva's hand and spin her around carefully placing her in the end position she needs to be in for me to complete the end move.

2...

Eva leans back in my grasp posing and let's out a breath of relief, it's over.

1...

The bell rings. That's it. It's done.

Mine and Eva's shaky breaths intertwine. I can't believe that's it. It's finally finished! All of our training came down to this moment.

The world around me starts to focus from the blurry trance I was in. The audience is raised in a standing ovation and our opponents jaws are lowered to the floor.

"Look like their gonna be the one's needing the luck" I laugh raising Eva to her normal standing position.

She looks me straight in the eyes, and I smile automatically a warm feeling invading my body. Is this what love feels like?

I lean in to kiss her soft lips, but of course am interrupted by the rush and excitement of my friends.

"You guys were amazing! We might actually have a chance now!" Josh says excitedly.

"1,2,3 HEARTBEATS" we cheer together.

Family.

"Well wasn't that absolutely incredible! I though the bone breakers had it but with the heartbeats comeback who knows which side of the fence the win will go on. Let's give the judges a second to discuss the winner and I'll be back in a moment" The presenter says.

"Do you think we won?" Eva asks pulling on my shirt, gaining my attention.

"Who cares" I say pulling her in for a kiss, savouring the taste of her vanilla lip balm.

"And we have a winner! Drum roll please"

The audience all bang their chairs and all of us hit against our knees to create sound.

"The winner is... HEARTBEATS!"

And with that single sentence there was absolute chaos, but slowly and surely everything was finally right in the world.
