I Wanna Dance With Somebody

Week 6

WEEK 6

**

Oh, it's so sad to think about the good times, you and I
'Cause, baby, now we got bad blood
You know it used to be mad love
So take a look what you've done
'Cause, baby, now we got bad blood

**

Come on, dance
Jump on it
If you sexy then flaunt it
If you freaky then own it
Don't brag about it, come show me

They get to the rehearsal studio at almost nine o'clock. Emma is exhausted both physically and emotionally, but she also knows that she is a team captain and no matter what is going on with her and Regina right now, she needs to help step up and lead this team.

Their song is Uptown Funk and Emma's actually kind of excited about it. It's a popular song, which will work in their favor and there's lots of room for group parts and their individual solos. They're able to dance freestyle, which Emma also appreciates.

The pros all get together right away to start listening to the music and figure out group choreography, which leaves the celebrities to mill around with each other.

"Okay, so, we need a team name." Emma says, because she needs to feel productive.

"We could always go Team Uptown." Walsh offers.

"Or Team Funk." Jim says and Ruby quickly nods along.

"Yes! Team Funk."

"Alright." Emma nods. "I think we've got a team name."

They actually get a lot done during the first rehearsal. They've got their name decided upon, plus costuming ideas – red and black are their colors of choice and they're thinking red suits with black shirts and fedoras for the guys and red dresses with black accents for the ladies – thanks to the celebrities and the whole first second of group choreography thanks to the pros.

Emma likes getting to see how everyone works together and she enjoys everyone on her team. But the time comes when everyone has reached their limits for the evening and is readying to go, so they decide to work on individual solos during their regular rehearsals and come back to put it all together on Friday's group rehearsal.

Ruby, Peter, Jim, and Kathryn all head out pretty quickly once that decision has been made, but Zelena grabs Regina and takes her off somewhere. Emma knows that she could – and maybe even should – just leave now, but she ends up staying around.

Walsh offers her a smile. "You were incredible tonight, by the way. And I'm really glad you picked me to be on your team."

"Thanks." Emma nods. "I'm glad you're on my team. I think we're going to be great."

"With you and Regina leading us, I'm sure we will. You guys make a great pair."

Emma's heart aches at those words but she still smiles. "Thanks."

"Alright, my pretty," Zelena says as she sweeps back into the room, hugging Emma and kissing both her cheeks, "we shall see you later. Get some sleep and don't let my sister wear you out."

There's something to Zelena's words, an added tone, but Emma's too tired to figure it out. She just smiles at Zelena and nods. "Bye."

Then Zelena and Walsh are gone and Regina has still not come back. Emma considers just leaving, but finds that she can't. She needs to at least tell Regina she's leaving, so she heads out of the rehearsal space and starts searching for her.
