*Let the sun shine, let the sun shine baby, let it all go, let it all go baby...* Cheryl’s alarm sprung into action, instantly being knocked off as her hand crashed down onto the off button. "What an amazing sleep" Cheryl thought to herself after a night of dreaming about dancing and touring. It was no secret that Cheryl absolutely loved dancing and always had done, even as a child, maybe even more than singing. She leaped out of bed, buzzing at the thought of learning her new dance routine for the ‘Call my name’ video and meeting her new dancers before quickly grabbing a towel and making her way to the shower, humming her new single as she went.
“CHERYL!!! There's some toast made out here if ya want some!” Gary shouted from the kitchen.
“Coming!!!” she yelled back, brushing her hair through with a comb and applying some mascara to her already naturally long, dark eyelashes.
“Excited?” Gary asked his sister as she joined him at the table on the porch overlooking the beach with a slice of toast sticking out of her mouth.
“Can’t fricken wait, it’s gonna be wicked” she smiled, jumping around in her seat like a little girl. “What ya gonna do all day?”
“Well I’m gonna come with you this morning and I can do some work on my laptop while you’re doing all your dancing stuff, and then I'll come to lunch obviously, cos food will be involved” Gary laughed “...and then I’m going to go and meet me mate Dan, remember from last time we were here and he said he was gonna sign me up on that deep sea fishing course thing?”
“Since when did you go fishing Gaz?” Cheryl sniggered, raising her eyebrow at her little brother's crazy idea.
“Since fishing got deep Cheryl...it’s cool!” he responded as if it was perfectly obvious. “Plus there's a fit girl on the boat apparently” he laughed. Cheryl just shook her head before noticing Lily walking towards them with her head still buried in her ‘Fifty Shades of Grey’ novel. “How come it would be totally unacceptable for me to sit in the lounge while you two are around and just freely watch porn, yet it’s perfectly alright for her to walk around constantly reading that book, which we all know is totally pornographic?” Gary questioned Cheryl, smirking.
“Because...” Cheryl began. “Because...” she stuttered.
“Yes?” Gary asked, whilst receiving evil looks from Lily.
“Yeah you've got a point I suppose...haha...but I’d like to see you try and get that book off her!” Cheryl finally concluded.
“OK let’s go! The car is here Chez!” Lily shouted from the front door a while later as Cheryl ran through the house wearing baggy, black harem style trousers with a loose coral coloured vest top covering a bright purple sports bra which could be seen through the gaps, along with a pair of black Adidas wedged trainers with coral coloured stripes.
“Lets go, go go!” Cheryl squealed excitedly leaping past Lily towards the waiting car, just wanting to get started on her new video routine as soon as possible.
15 minutes later, the car pulled up outside the dance studio Cheryl was going to be rehearsing in where she immediately spotted Beth the choreographer who was also one of Cheryl’s good friends, standing outside, leaning against the wall whilst waving like a lunatic. “CHEZZA!!!” Beth called excitedly, as Cheryl ran up to her, giving her a massive hug. “I feel like I haven’t seen you in ages!” she murmured, still hugging her and then Lily as well. “How are you feeling about the new music and dance routines?” she questioned. “Nervous? Excited?”
“Bit of both to be honest” Cheryl laughed, following Beth into the studio. “I've got anxiety just thinking about it!” she breathed.
“That’s a good thing though Chez, it shows you still care, which means I know you'll put your all into it” Beth smiled, rubbing Cheryl’s back as they made their way towards a desk in the corner of the studio. “I've already got ‘Call my name” stuck in my head 24/7!”
“Haha... have you? Oh well that’s a good thing I suppose, at least its catchy” Cheryl grinned, her dimples glowing either side of her smile.
“Definitely catchy, and the dancers are loving it too!” Beth chuckled, opening up her laptop before sitting down at the desk.
“Oh My God, really? What have they said about it?” Cheryl replied enthusiastically.
“It’s more the fact I keep hearing Tre and Tyrell singing the ‘oh oh’ bits with each other constantly” she laughed. Cheryl smiled, feeling positive that she was going to enjoy working with these people. “I had to laugh when you sent me this email chez about how you wanted the video to look! ...Read this Lily” Beth pulled her closer to the screen.
<Hey Beth! OK I'm kinda hoping u r gonna understand what I'm on about here, but basically for the new video, I want people to watch it and think Fresh Prince of Bel Air. You following me so far? So I want those crazy style dance moves like the running man and loads of arm moves, like really energetic, I think it would look wicked. Not gonna lie, I'm writing this email not long after a girly night with Kimberley lol so I’m a bit p!ssed, but Kim agreed that it would look wicked. If I wear like really bright colours against like a dullish background, almost like a clash which I know is something most people would avoid, but I ain't most people am I Beth? lol. Oh and don’t forget some really fit guys please! Hope you got that. Love you Beth, thanks for being a dancing genius!!! MWHA MWHA MWHA xxxxxxx>
“Oh my God Chez!” Lily burst out laughing along with Beth. “How p!ssed were you?”
“Shut up you meanies” Cheryl pouted. “What’s funny is I still want that now and I’m totally sober!”
“Don’t worry Chez I think you'll be pleased with what I've come up with” Beth giggled, wiping tears from her eyes after laughing so hard.
At 12.30, Beth, Lily, Cheryl and Gary packed up their things to get ready to meet the dancers for lunch at a diner down the street. Whilst Gary and Lily had been working on their laptops, sorting performances out, booking flights, hotels etc. Beth had been showing Cheryl the routine and playing clips of the dancers performing earlier in the week. “This is going to be great, it looks so good” Cheryl clapped, running to Beth and giving her a big kiss on the cheek. “You are literally a legend!...and I told you the running man would look good!" Cheryl winked as they left the studio and made their way down the road. “Whereabouts are we meeting them again?”
“Just that diner on the corner there babe” Lily pointed towards a cute traditional American Diner sat at the end of the street.
“They're already there apparently...Tyrell just text me” Beth told the others as they got closer. “They're a really good group of guys Chez, I think you'll get on great with them, they're all up for a laugh, really down to earth but really dedicated to dancing, they're so hardworking I sometimes have trouble getting them to go home” Beth laughed. “I think you've already met Tyrell and Tre though, haven’t you?”
“Yeah, it was quite a while back though, but I can remember them being amazing dancers” Cheryl responded just as they made their way into the diner, led by Gary of course!
