It was a Friday morning in Catalonia, where Luna is in the living room eating cereal while watching T.V. She was watching the Out of This World event from a year ago. She watches her father singing with Clay Calloway and Ash then she watches her mother perform in the green alien suit, dancing happily. "Wow, they're having so much fun." said Luna. She then stood and tried to dance but as she started to dance, she tripped and fell. She continue to struggle as Porsha takes notice. "Sweetie? Is everything okay?" asked Porsha. "No. I'm trying to dance like you and Daddy. You guys were having so much fun." said Luna as she looked down. "Aw sweetie. It's okay. You just gotta practice. Believe it or not, I thought I would be good at acting but...it didn't turn out well for me. So instead, I chose to just to sing. You thank your father for that." said Porsha. Chris then arrives. "Hey, what's going on?" asked Chris. "Little Luna's trying to dance." said Porsha. "You wanna dance, Luna?" asked Chris as she nodded. "Is there any classes she could take?" asked Porsha. Chris then had an idea. "Actually...I think I know just the teacher." said Chris as he pulled out his phone. An hour later, there was a knock on the door. Chris opens the door and it's Nooshy! "Someone called for a dance coach?" said Nooshy as she hugged Chris. "Great to see you, Nooshy. Thanks for coming on such short notice." said Chris. "Hey, Nooshy!" said Porsha as she hugs her. "So I heard your daughter wants to dance." said Nooshy. "Yes. And we think your the perfect teacher for Luna." said Chris. "Don't worry, you guys. I guarantee you by the end of the day, she'll be amazing. If I got Johnny the confidence to dance, then surely Luna will have the confidence to dance." said Nooshy as they smiled. "Alright, baby, have fun, okay? Don't stress yourself." said Porsha. "If you ever need any help, Nooshy will be there for you, okay?" said Chris as Luna nodded and hugged them. "Thanks, Mommy and Daddy. I love you." said Luna. "We love you too, sweetie." said Porsha as they left. Later, Nooshy takes Luna to a parking garage. "Okay, Luna. Show me what you got." said Nooshy as Luna took a deep breath. She then did her best dancing before tripping on the ground. "Ugh! I can't do this! I'll never get better at this." said Luna as she shed tears. "No, sunflower. Don't think like that." said Nooshy as she hugs her. "I don't think I ever will be good at something." said Luna. "Listen, I wanna tell you a story. When I was your age, I wanted to find a hobby. Something that's fun. Then a year ago, when your father sang for the first time. He expressed his joy and then after the show he said 'no matter what happens, have faith in yourself everyday and one day...you'll achieve your goal.' When he said that...I took dancing seriously." said Nooshy as Luna slowly looks at her. "Come on. I'll help you." said Nooshy as Luna smiled. Nooshy then played her music speaker. "Okay, we'll start over. Clear your head and go with the flow." said Nooshy as slowly she does dance and Luna follows along. Slowly by the second, Luna was getting better and better. "I'm doing it. I'm really doing it!" said Luna as she was dancing faster, impressing Nooshy. "There ya go, Luna!" said Nooshy as she danced along together. Later, they went street dancing. They brought the attention of mulitiple citizens, where they gave money to them. In the evening, the two were sitting on the bench in the park eating ice cream. "Well Luna, I have to say. You did amazing. I told you could do it." said Nooshy as Luna hugged her tightly. "Well I couldn't have done it without you...Auntie Nooshy." said Luna as she gasped. She slowly sheds tears and hugs her tightly. "Come on. Let's have some fun." said Nooshy as the two continued to have fun and danced together. Nooshy then drops Luna off. They enter the penthouse laughing. "That was fun!" said Luna. "Awesome!" said Nooshy. "Well, looks like someone had a good time." said Porsha. "Hey, so how did it go?" asked Chris. "It was fun! I've become a dancer now!" said Luna as Porsha picks her up. "Great! But we should give you a bath, missy. You are sweating up a storm." said Porsha as they both giggled and headed to the bathroom. Chris looks at Nooshy with a heartwarming smile. "Thanks, Nooshy. For helping Luna." said Chris. "No problem. After all, I am her dance coach." said Nooshy. "Anyway, I think it's fair I pay you." said Chris as he was about to get his wallet. "No, no. It's fine." said Nooshy. Chris's ears perked up. "Are you sure?" asked Chris. "Of course. I mean after all, your the reason I wanted to become a dancer. Like you said when you first sang. Your my inspiration. Thank you." said Nooshy as she hugged Chris. He embraces her. "Your welcome, Nooshy." said Chris.
