Legacies: A legacy of a Fallen.

Ch.18 The dance.

As Lizzie announced Hope as her replacement, everyone was surprised because we all thought that she would have made Josie her replacement but then came another shock "And Lucas you will be her partner."

Josie was again shocked and I said "Wait, but I don't know anything about the pageant." I then looked at Lizzie pointing at Josie.

And she ignored me and said, "Don't worry you will mostly be used as a prop you do as I say and you will help Hope will the Miss Mystic Falls."

I sighed and was about to say something but Josie said "We'll do anything possible to help Hope win, right Lucas?" she looked at me.

And I looked at her and said "Yes, we will."

We then left the room Lizzie took Hope to her room to prepare and I was with Josie and I asked: "Why did you do that?"

She said, "Please don't act like Penelope."

I said "I am not but you wanted to participate in the Pageant. Why didn't you say anything to Lizzie."

She looked at me and she was angry and asked "Did you read my mind?"

I said "No, I looked at you when Lizzie said Hope Mikelson and not Josie Saltzman. You were upset."

She said, "I don't want to participate I just want to help Lizzie win."

I asked, "Why? You can win this Josie, I believe that you can."

She said, "I don't want to win I just want my sister to be happy." She then left.

I was standing there just thinking about what to do and Penelope came and said "She is always like this."

I asked, "What do you want Penelope?"

She said "Same thing as you."

I said "Well, she does want to partici... Why can't she just admit that she wants to participate? I mean she can win this."

She said, "I know... but it's all because of bitch Lizzie Saltzman."

I said, "I know that Lizzie is her sister and all that but it just doesn't feel good that she does things like this."

She said "Hmm... Josie will at least has someone like you to protect her interest."

I sighed and said "Yeah but she doesn't want to and I don't want to force. She needs to realise that she is co-dependent on Lizzie all on her own."

She said, "Well, do you want Josie to win?"

I said, "Of course I do."

She then smiled and hatched a plan. We went to Mg and convinced him to not be Josie's escort. He happily complied, then after an hour was the rehearsals.

We went to the Hall and I went to Hope and said "Hey Hope, how are you?"

She smiled and said, "I'm fine. How are you?"

I smiled and said, "I am okay, soo have you danced before?"

She smiled and said, "Believe it or not I have." She teasingly asked, "Have you danced before?"

I smiled and said, "Oh... you'll find out soon enough."

Then Dana's Mother said, "Time for rehearsal, Honour your partner."

Hope bowed and I bowed as well, "Right hand around. Flirt with your eyes. Left hand around. Both hands."

We were doing the dance and Hope looked very impressed and asked "It looks like you can dance very well."

I smiled and said, "Well, it's because my partner is very good as well."

She looked at me and asked, "I thought you were from the boonies, soo how do you dance soo well."
