Step Up

Happy Birthday, Esther!

*At the party*

Esther: You guys...rented a WHOLE club...JUST for my birthday?!

She asks as she looks around in awe.

Scott and Ryan stand behind her and smile.

Ryan: Yep!

Scott: Sure did! AND it gets better!

Esther: What?

She asks, confused and looking at Scott.

Ryan: DJ, HIT IT!

He yells. The DJ drops the beat as the lights go off and a light show plays.

The music is loud and a bunch of people come.

Ryan smiles and takes Esther's hands, leading her to the dance floor.

Mitch yells over the music to Scott, who is holding his hand.

Mitch: You're pretty amazing, you know that?

They smile at each other.

Scott shakes his head, yelling back because the music is so loud.

Scott: No, I'm really not. I just love to make people happy! Especially those I love!

Mitch kisses his cheek.

Scott: Come on, cute boy!

He smiles as he pulls Mitch's hands to the dance floor.

Kirstie and Avi keep their distance from each other almost all night.

Tori: This place is amazing!

Kevin smiles with his hand softly sitting on her back.

Kevin: Care to dance?

He offers his hand to her. She smiles, blushing as she nods and takes his hand.

Avi sits in a booth with snacks as he watches people party.

Kirstie stands by the restrooms as she leans against the wall.

Everything seems to be okay until Avi sees Kirstie's ex, Jeremy ask her to dance.

His cheeks almost instantly flare up with rage. Trying to keep his calm, he notices Esther coming over and sitting by him.

Esther: Hey, bro!

She smiles.

Avi forces a smile back.

Avi: Happy Birthday, beautiful.

She hugs her brother.

Avi: Are you having fun?

Esther: Oh yeah! Scott and Ryan really out did themselves! Why aren't you dancing with Kirstie?

Avi: I don't dance..

Esther: But...it's Kirstie! The girl you've liked since the Sing-Off!

Avi stays quiet.

Esther: Are you two still having problems?

She asks, looking concerned.

She notices he's looking at Kirstie and Jeremy dancing and laughing.

Esther: Oh!...well..you know...there is a such thing as cutting in...

He looks at her.

Avi: What?

He looks confused.

She smiles and gives him a look as she gets up and tells the DJ to play a slow song.
