Disney High

Meg

Meg is sitting on the bleachers tying her purple sneakers. She is startled by a hand playfully slapping her back. "Ay-o partner!" She signs and looks up.

"Oh, Loverboy! And here I was getting my hopes up you wouldn't show!"

Hercules laughs. "And let you win the bet? I don't think so! I bop to the top! Dance till I drop!"

"Hey let's make a new bet. Never say that again and I'll consider a hobby."

Hercules laughs. "Well you already did that when you made the deal."

Meg sighs. "Right."

At that moment, Hades called everyone's attention. She explained how today would be a partner dance day to see what we already know.

Hercules bowed and reached out his hand. He cleared his throat and, with the best British accent he could muster, said, "May I have this dance, m'lady?"

Meg chuckled and reached out her hand out to his. He pulled her close, making her feel slightly uncomfortable. She put her hands on his shoulders and they started swaying around the floor to the music. "So..." Hercules mumbled, trying to create conversation. "I've done some research and I have the perfect idea for a hobby!"

"Oh yeah?" Meg asks. "Go for it. I doubt I'll accept though."

Hercules continues. "Well, don't be so sure about that! How does a weekend on the coast sound?"

Meg meets Hercules' eyes. "A weekend on the coast? Well I hate to admit it but that sounds-" she stops, rethinking. "-too good to be true. What's the catch?"

"Catch?"

"Yes, Wonderboy. The catch. Because I may not have known you for very long but I do know that there almost always is a catch."

"Well..." Hercules looked left, right, up. "I mean, I wouldn't call it a 'catch' per se..." He looks up back at Meg and meets her glaring eyes, waiting. "It's a dance convention. Where they teach you dance, just like right here."

Meg took her hand off his shoulder and pointed to him. "See, there is always a catch. So I'm gonna have to pass."

"Aw come on! It's not so bad! We only dance a couple hours of the day and the hotel is really nice! It's got an amazing view of the beach! And I haven't even told you the best part!"

"Oh wow." Meg says sarcastically. "There's a way for this to get better? Do tell."

Hercules smiled and rolled his eyes. "You get to bring Jane and Tarzan."

Meg was shocked. "Seriously? I thought they had to stay out of this bet until I won."

"What's that? I think I heard you say 'when I win' implying that you think I'm gonna loose. What you meant to say was 'when you win' cause you're gonna go and you're gonna love it."

At that moment, Hades blew the whistle, signifying the end of the dance class that day. Meg quickly backed away from Hercules and walked over to the bleachers. Hercules sat down next to her. "Please, Meg? I kinda already bought the tickets. Don't make me go alone."

"You can't bring anyone else?" Meg asks.

"I could but, as hard as it might be for you to believe, I know it won't be as fun without you..." Meg shot her head up and met his eyes, surprised. "Plus..." Hercules adds with a smile, lightening the mood. "You're tied up in the deal. No way out."

"No way out of what?" Meg and Hercules look up to see Jane and Tarzan standing above them.

Meg decided to answer. "Nothing..." She looked over to Hercules, who was smiling knowing he had won. Meg let out a sigh. "The four of us are going to a dance convention at the coast next weekend."

Jane and Tarzan glanced at each other. "Like... A double date?" Tarzan said with a sly smile.

"No!" Both said at once. Meg finished. "Like a couple, and a boy, and a girl... Dancing. That's all."

Jane turned to Hercules, unconvinced. "Ok cool. I'm Jane by the way. This is Tarzan."

Hercules smiled and held out his hand. "Hercules. But Meg just calls me Wonderboy."

Jane looks at Meg from the corner of her eye, who has gathered up all her stuff and is now ready to leave. "Pleased to meet you, Hercules. I'm looking foreword to next weekend!" Meg walks out the door without saying a word. Jane and Tarzan follow closely after.

"Oh my god, aren't they adorable?" Jane asks Tarzan.

"Stop." Meg replies.

"I know! They're practically made for each other!" Tarzan answers.

"Guys, stop." Meg continues.

"It will only be a matter of time before we're dancing at they're wedding!" Jane says, continuing to tease her friend. "As the maid of honor, of course."

Meg, although annoyed, could barely hide the smile. "Stop!" She wined as she ran out the double doors of the school.
