-Dylan-
"Alright, ready?"
"Yeah." We say.
"Good. So, your duet is called Pure Love. And what it's about is these two people meeting and start loving each other. That's what I want you guys to do."
We nod.
"Okay. Dylan, your in for your money."
"Yes!"
That makes me so happy! I love a dance I need to work on. Max looks at me like I'm crazy.
"You ready?"
"Yes!"
"Yeah."
Max seems like he doesn't want to do this.
"Dylan, right. Max, left."
We walk to our places.
"Dylan, I want you to come out and chasse. Then spin in the middle and lower to the ground."
I do.
"Perfect!"

-Max-
She is such a beautiful dancer!
"Now Max, walk to her."
I do.
"And take her hand and stand her up and spin her like you would in a slow dance."
I laugh in my head. This is like a dream come true.
I twirl her. Alex smiles.
"Now Dylan, I want you to spin away from him."
She does with ease.
"Now, front aerial!"
She does and lands.
"Split!"
Does it again.
"And split handstand and roll it over and land in the splits."
She does. She makes it look so easy.
"Yes! Max, go grab her waist and lift her."
I do.
"Lift her and put her on your shoulders."
I do.
"Dylan, lean against his back and let her arms just fall. Then Max, spin slowly around."

Practice went great. Too great. It was like a dream!
"Max, you okay?" My mom asks.
"Yeah." I say in a daze. "Dylan is so gorgeous."
"What?"
"I have a duet with her and she's so pretty."
"Okay Max. Have fun with that."
"I will. I get to see her and act like we're a couple and she'll never know what I think of her. But what if I want her to know."
"Max, snap out of it bro. Just a girl." James says.
"She's not just any girl. She's Dylan!"
"Wait, Alex actually put you in a duet with Dylan. She's so out of your league."
"I know."
"Wow. I have to agree, she is pretty."
"She's mine!"
"In your dreams bro."
"Yeah. In my dreams."
I walk to my room.
"Dylan!"
Man I miss her already.

-Dylan-
Max is actually a really cool guy. He's strong too. Can't wait to do our duet for comp. Hope it goes okay.
