Ricky Bowen x (Y/N) Imagine: Can I Have This Dance? 💃🏻

Author's note: Thought of this cute idea. It was supposed to be funny at first but then I collabed with my friend  and it turned into something different. (Limelights 4 Life) I really like this one. Daylight savings is hitting me tho. It's almost midnight when I wrote his felt like 10pm. Also, if you know or look up the meaning of this song. I feel like it makes sense for the pair that are dancing to it. IMO. You might disagree that's ok. Ben Platt is life. Lastly, I've never slow danced with someone so please don't judge if this is wrong.

Ricky had a plan; and when he had a plan it almost never failed. It was February 1st, and the Valentine's Day dance was just announced over the speaker. He had planned to ask (Y/N) to be his date, but first he needed to learn how to dance, not just sway in motion.

Ricky's best friend, Big Red, also had a plan. He wanted to ask Ashlyn Caswell to be his girlfriend and go to the dance. You see Big Red and Ashlyn liked each other since the end of the fall musical, but Big Red didn't know a thing about romance, so he didn't make a move. Ashlyn was still patiently waiting for him to do something.

The two best friends were still in high school, they were basically broke, except for the spare change Big Red found in the school cafeteria. The school didn't offer dance classes and they definitely couldn't afford to take a recreational class. So, Ricky proposed a not so bad idea to Big Red,

"Why don't you come over to my house tonight, we can practice the waltz from the High School Musical 3 DVD my dad got all the movies because I was in the musical." Ricky said nervously while eating a sandwich at a table with only Big Red.

"That sounds a lot better than two guys signing up for a dance class that requires them to wear tights and look like ballerinas." Big Red laughed while eating his lunch.

"Did someone say dance?" Gina said leaning over and eavesdropping into the conversation from the girls' table.

"Gina were you listening the whole time?!" Ricky whisper yelled.

"Maybe...but I can help you two." Gina scooted over to their table without the other girls noticing.

"No offense Gina, but the last time you had a plan it backfired, and you poured punch all over E.J Caswell at homecoming." Big Red said not too loudly.

"Ok. That was in the past though, and besides I am the one who can dance. Don't you guys want to learn to slow dance or waltz for the Valentine's day dance?" Gina said in a quieter tone.

"Yeah but we already have a plan thanks to Ricky. I don't think we need more help." Big red stated bluntly high fiveing Ricky afterwards.

"Your plan is to watch the "Can I Have this Dance" scene from the movies? I doubt you'll learn a thing also you're going to look so funny dancing the waltz together. If you invited me, it wouldn't be as awkward because you have a girl to dance with you." Gina pleaded.

"Fine. My place at 7. Don't tell anyone." Ricky huffed and then started eating again.

7:00pm at the Bowen's

Big Red was already at Ricky's house because the two walked home together. It was a Friday, so they didn't worry about homework being due the next day. Big Red knew where all the snacks were at the Bowen's and immediately walked to the kitchen. When red came back from the living room, Ricky decided that they should watch all the High School Musical movies until Gina arrived.

At promptly 7:00pm Gina rang the doorbell, Ricky got up to get it and got lost her beautiful eyes.

"Aren't you going to let me in?" Gina said smiling while holding her dance shoes in one hand.
