"Goodmorning Kevin" I say as he put down his stuff. "I'm still sore from yesterday! I looked up all these remedies for sore muscles and nothing worked!" I start to laugh "We need to finish the dance then we won't rehears for a day so your body can recouperate. Sound good?" "I might need more than one day...." He jokes.

"Good rehearsal today Kevin!" I pat his back. "Thanks, I can go home now and rest right?" I start laughing. "Yes you can go home and rest." "YES!" He shouts "Thanks, Maddie we'll do great this week but I'm gonna go sleep." He grabs his stuff and goes. "Bye!" "Bye" I wave back to him.

Even though Kevin left I want to make sure that this dance is the best it can be. I stay and practice for longer. Even though I can't to the lifts and tricks I need Kevin for some practice is better than none. "Hey!" Derek walks into the room. "Where's Kevin?" "Oh, I told him he could go and rest, he looked really warn out." "Why are you still here than?" I shrug "because, I want to make this dance great!" "Well don't you kinda need a partner?" He walks into the room and shuts the door behind him. "Yeah, but what are you going to do?" "I'll try and figure it out." Derek suggests "are you saying that you'll practice with me even though you don't know the moves?" "Correct!" He starts the music "show me the way!" He jokes and I start laughing.

I start to dance to the music but, it defiantly wasn't the dance. I was just jumping around the room and flaying my arms all over the place. "Wow, no wonder you said you need practice." I start laughing "It looks like a baby ballet class would preform. It doesn't even look like Contemporary. HECK! I don't even know what it looks like." Derek kept making those remarks and I couldn't help my laughter. I was bent over on the floor laughing. Then he started laughing at my laughing and I started laughing at his laughing. It was never ending laughter. "I can't stop laughing!" I try to get up off the ground. "My stomach and cheeks hurt." My laughter calms down a little. "What cheeks?" Derek makes a joke again and we're back where we started.  

After a little while Derek and I finally stop laughing. "Ok, ok, now that we had a good laugh let's go grab some lunch and go house hunting." I give Derek a look "I'll go get lunch but, I can't go house hunting....I really need to get this dance to it's full poetical." He fakes laughs "You make me laugh, you won't ever get it to its best poetical without your partner." He raises an eyebrow because he knows he's right. "You're right, you're right. Where are you taking me for lunch?" "You'll see!" He grabs my hand and drags me out to the car.  

"Here we are!" He says as we drive up to this meadow. "Aw, we're having a picnic?" "Yeah..." "You're the best! This is the cutest thing anyone has ever done for me." I kiss him on the cheek. He stops the car and opens my car door like a gentleman. "Thank you" I get out and we kiss. "You're perfect, you know that right?" He says "now I do!" I kiss him again.

He sets down a blanket under a big maple tree and sets the picnic basket on that. "What di you pack?" I sit down on the blanket. "I know how much you like chicken nuggets and I also know that you don't like to eat them a lot because they're so bad for you but, you're gonna eat them." I start to laugh "Ok, I'm not complaining." He starts laughing to "Then instead of fries I packed garden salad so then it is a little bit healthy." He pulls out the chicken then the salad. "Dessert?" I questioned. "Are you nuts?!" He says with a serious face but then it breaks out into a smile. "Of cores there's dessert! It's apple crumble." I smile "Yum!"
