When You Fish Upon A Star

Just You Wait

Bryce's POV

It's week 3 in the competition and Jordan beat me last week by one point for the top spot so I am determined to throw him off his game. I may love him again, but I love winning more. I am super competitive. It is guilty pleasure week and since we are dancing a Hip-hop routine, I decide to dance to Alexander Hamilton from the musical Hamilton. I love musicals and it helps that Jordan was in it.

Luckily, Jordan performs right after me and no one but the producers, Alison, and I know what I am dancing to. Everyone else thinks I am dancing to Rhythm Nation by Janet Jackson. I cannot wait to see everyone's reaction to the surprise during my dance. They are not ready for this!

It's time! The video package starts with me talking about how I am happy with the scores we got but I am disappointed to be second to Jordan. The scene where Alison and I talk about my obsession with Rhythm Nation and how it is my favorite song, which is true. The video package ends by me saying, "With this dance, I hope to show not just lil Jordan, but the world that there is only room for one Disney darling and it's not Ramenhead" and I wink. Let the games begin.

Jordan's POV

I won't tell anyone this, but I am excited to see Bryce's dance. His video package is about to begin. He told me to watch it carefully. I am nervous but intrigued to why. As it rolls, I see Bryce talking about how he wishes to beat me, which makes me chuckle. He talks about his love for the 80s, specifically Janet Jackson. I love this man even more. The package ends with him calling me Ramenhead and I am a bit hurt. He said he liked my hair color change.

I am expecting to hear Rhythm Nation but after five seconds, the song cuts to Alexander Hamilton and he does a wardrobe change. Well I'll be damned! He got me again. The person singing sounds a lot like... NO WAY! IT'S LIN-MANUEL MIRANDA! How?!?! Bryce mouths to me, "Game on Fisher!" The ballroom erupts as Lin comes out and Bryce just kills the performance. I do not know what to think. After the dance finishes, the crowd and judges are on their feet and my mouth is on the ground again.

Bryce receives his scores and he gets the first perfect score of the season. In Week 3? Well, I guess the game is on. Tom asks Bryce why he did this because everyone thought he was doing Rhythm Nation.

Bryce responded, "Jordan thinks he can just waltz in here and win the mirror ball unchallenged. He even said the rest of the competitors do not stand a chance. Well, I am here to put my foot down and tell him to watch his back. Jordan, get ready because this is the beginning of a long season of twists I have planned for you!"

I start to get angry and before I can talk it out with Bryce, I am being pushed to the dance floor. I pass Bryce and see him smirk. Ok, Stryker. I see you. I dance my dance and get a 25. I am not happy with myself because I let Bryce get in my head. I am kind of turned on by his attitude. What has gotten into me?

Backstage, I see Bryce again and I pull him into my dressing room. Bryce plays dumb and innocently asks, "Why are you mad?" I want to be mad, but seeing him this close makes me just want to jump him. I look at him and say, "Seriously? I'm mad because you pulled a fast one on me. I'm impressed. Come here. I'm going to punish you for being a bad boy." I pull Bryce in for a kiss and when his mouth opens in shock, I slip my tongue in. I missed this. My phone goes off and I ignore it but Bryce sees it and pushes me away.

"Is it true?" I look at Bryce confused. He shows me the conversation I had with my 'girlfriend' about Bryce. I told her that Bryce is nothing but a gay boy who is confused about who he is and is not man enough for me. How did that get on my phone? I never sent that text. Bryce looks at me heartbroken and says, "I knew it was too good to be true. If you want to play that game, then you better be prepared for next week. You just dug your own grave." He leaves my room and the building. I'm scared. I screwed up my one chance at redemption.

Bryce's POV

I was so happy to get the perfect score and keep up the act with Jordan. I hope he is not mad at me. He pulls me into his dressing room and kisses me. As we are kissing, I see a text from his girlfriend and I wish I hadn't. I am so angry I push him into his glass mirror and suddenly an idea pops in my head: I am going to explain in detail to America why I left a couple months ago and why I am here. Hope he is ready.

I call Lola and tell her that I am ready to tell my story with Jordan. I do not care what happens to Jordan anymore. I was stupid to think anyone would love me for me. I am going to make him feel the pain I feel. Hope he is ready. I pull out my camera and start filming.

"Hey Stryker Nation, guess who's back? That's right. I am back and let me tell you oh how have I missed you guys. A lot has happened in two months and all I want to say is tune in Monday to ABC at 8/7pm CST. You aren't going to want to miss it. Love ya guys and, as always, Peace!"
