Joe and Dianne: Oneshots

Our little star

Dianne's POV

It felt so weird to be here again after such as long time. It had been twenty years since I had performed on this stage but being here again bought back so many memories. I was currently sat in the audience at Elstree Studios waiting for the new series of Strictly to start. I had given up working on Strictly twenty years ago when me and Joe decided we wanted to start having children. Our first daughter Charlotte was born nineteen years ago and it was one of the happiest days of my life. I never thought I would see the day where she herself became a professional dancer. But here we where waiting for our baby to take part in her first Strictly Come Dancing. She had already found out who she was partnered with and they had been in training for the last two weeks. We where told the show would be starting in one minute and then I heard the opening titles of Strictly. I turned to look at my husband and smiled at him as I reached my hand out to take his. We where both so proud of her and what she had accomplished in her life. I couldn't wait to see her on that stage.

Joe's POV

Today was the day that our daughter took part in her first Strictly Come Dancing. We where both so unbelievable proud of her. When she had first told us she had the job we where both gobsmacked. At nineteen years old she was the youngest professional they have ever had on the show. At first we where worried that the pressure would be too much for her but she seems to have taken it all in her stride. I heard one of the crew shout out and say the show would be starting in one minute. Then I heard the Strictly titles play and it bought back so many happy memories. I felt my wife's hand in mind and I turned to look at her. She gave me a smile and I gave her one back as the hosts where introduced and the show got started. They introduced the judges and then it was time for all the couples to come onto stage. As I saw Charlotte coming down the stairs I couldn't help but well up a little bit. I turned to look at my wife and saw that she too had tears in her eyes. We where both just so proud of her.

Charlotte's POV

This was it, my first show on Strictly Come Dancing. I was feeling excited as well as nervous. I felt a little bit of pressure knowing how popular my mum was back when she was on the show. Everybody loved her and I really hope they took to me like they did her. I stood on the stairs ready to make my way onto the stage. I heard the opening theme tune start and that's when I realised this was real. I was actually a professional dancer on Strictly Come Dancing. It was time to make our way onto the stage and one my one the couple names where called. When they called our name we walked out and waved to the audience. I looked towards my parents and I could see great big smiles on their faces. We made out way down the stairs and stood with all the other couples. The introduction for the first couple started and then they played their VT as we made our way up to Claudia's area. We where dancing sixth so we had a while to enjoy the others before we had to dance. Before I knew it the time had flied by and it was our turn to dance. They played our VT of us meeting each other and our training and then it was time to dance.

Dianne's POV

A few people had danced and then it was our daughters turn. They played their VT as they made their way onto the stage. I could feel the massive smile on my face and I was beaming with pride. As soon as their dance started I could tell they where going to be amazing together. Her choreography was brilliant and it really seemed to suit her partner. The routine came to an end and I was immediately out of my chair cheering loudly. I could hear my husband beside me doing the same as well as the crowd around us. They made their way over to the judges and the comments where brilliant. The smile never left her face the whole time she was on stage and I could tell that she was absolutely loving it. Once they had their comments they made the way up to Claudia's area for their scores. The scores came in and they got thirty, two sevens and two eights. I couldn't be more prouder. The rest of the show fell by so quicker and soon it was coming to the end. They showed all the scores and that was when I realised our daughter was at the top of the leaderboard.

Joe's POV

She was so brilliant when she danced. They did a waltz and it was so graceful for week one. You could see how hard she had worked with him and it was definitely paying off. All the way through the dance I couldn't keep my eyes off my daughter. As soon as the dance came to an end I was straight up onto my feet. I looked around me to see my wife standing up as well as the audience. They got a massive round of applause from everyone and I couldn't be more prouder. The rest of the show zoomed by and soon the show was over. I stood up from my chair and turned to look at my wife. 'She was brilliant' I said. 'I know I couldn't be more prouder if I tried' Dianne said. I turned back towards the stage to see our daughter running over to us. Immediately we both engulfed her in a hug. 'You where brilliant' Dianne said to her. 'You did everyone proud' I said. 'Did you enjoy it' Dianne asked. 'Yeah it was brilliant' she said 'I am buzzing. It's like nothing I've ever experienced before.' 'I'm glad you enjoyed it' Dianne said 'Strictly was some of the best times of my life it opened my life up to so many new experiences' Dianne said. 'We are so proud of you baby' I said as me and Dianne wrapped her in a hug again. We where two very happy and proud parents.
