My 1D Brothers

Dancing + The Boys = Funtime!

Erika POV:

I finished eating, brushed my teeth, and got changed into black tights, short blue soffe shorts, and a light blue tanktop. I put Liam's sweatshirt over it and put my hair up in a ponytail. I put on my high-top Nike white sneakers. It was my first day at the studio and we would be dancing a lot.

I went downstairs and sat on the couch next to Niall. "Is that my sweatshirt?" Liam asked. I snuggled into Niall's arm and said, "Yerp. I love this sweatshirt." and Liam laughed. "You can wear it whenever you want to." Liam said and I smiled.

Louis came and sat next to me. He lifted my legs up onto his lap and said, "Nice shoes. And nice skinny legs." He poked my leg. I laughed. "I love these shoes. People think it's boy shoes but they aren't." I said.

"Time to go to the studio everybody!" Harry said as he came into the room. "Cute outfit." He said as he looked at me up and down. "Appropriate for your age." He said. "Thanks dad." I said, mockingly. We laughed. I took my phone out and texted my mom and told her I got to Italy safely and that I was heading off to the studio for my first day at work.

The six of us went out and got into the black Hummer. We drove to the studio and I hopped out of the car.

We walked in. The secretary saw me and she said, "Oh my god! The famous Erika! Can I have your autograph?"

Autograph? And why did she notice me first and not the boys? Because I'm young? 

I took her pen and signed her picture of me. Was I really that famous?

"Your first autograph?" Zayn asked me. "Yep. Kind of weird, because I don't think I'm that famous." I said. "Oh you're famous." Zayn said.

"Well, I am working with One Direction." I said. We walked to the dance room and I saw the choreographer. I shook hands with him and we talked while the boys got ready. "What do we have to choreograph? They don't dance." I said, and Tim (the choreographer) laughed. 

"No, they do NOT dance." we laughed. "We have to choreograph their position on stage and the dances that they do." Tim explained. 

"Alright." i said.

"You'll be getting paid $20 an hour." Tim said.

"20 bucks?! That's a lot..." I said, knowing that I only got paid 20 dollars when I danced for 4 hours at a show from before. And that was occasionally.

"Alright, let's warm up!" Tim said. "Erika, would you like to lead the stretches, first?" Tim asked me. "Sure. Does it matter what stretches I do?" I asked.

"Nothing too hard. Like the lifting your leg up thing that you showed us." Louis said. "Oh like this?" I asked and lifted my foot up to the side of my head. Not a scorpion, but close to one.

"Yea that." Harry said. "We can't do that." I laughed.

"Okay let's do some simple ones." I said and started stretching. The boys looked at me in the mirror and Niall smiled at me. I smiled back at him in the mirror. We stretched for 5 minutes, then got to work.

"Alright, let's go over the positioning for some of your fast songs." Tim said. "You can move around the stage for a lot of it, but you should line up the five of you and sing, then...Erika? Any suggestions?" Tim asked.

"Well, I think they should line up while they're singing, like you said, then take turned spinning around once, making a pose, then walking around the stage again." I suggested. That should be easy.

"So line up in the order Harry, Louis, Zayn, Niall, then Liam" Tim said. I took over and said, "Harry, spin to your right, stop and make a pose. Then start walking while Louis spins to the right, makes a different pose, and walks. While the person finishes their spin and pose, the next person spins and poses." I said. The boys repeated that until Liam said, "Erika and Tim join us!" I set my phone on video and leaned it against the mirror, making sure everyone would fit into the area recorded.

Tim and I line up next to Liam and Harry started. Harry flipped his hair and winked at my phone. Louis stuck his tongue out. Zayn went cross-eyed, Niall pointed his fingers to the phone. Liam made a puppy dog face. I spun around while Liam started walking, kicked my leg back and winked while sticking my tongue out the side of my mouth. Tim finished it with a finger pointing to the camera.

I stopped the music and pressed 'stop recording' button. We all sat down and watched the video and laughed. "Kicking the leg back adds a little bit of a girly thing. It would make the boys go wild. I mean look at Harry." Louis said.

Harry in the video was staring at me, smiling. All the boys were. We laughed. "I'm so putting this on Facebook!" I said and pressed share and posted it on Facebook. The caption was 'First day working with the boys on the dancing. It always ends up turning into fooling around, though.'

We worked for a few more hours. We incorporated the inbetweeners' dance, the 'stop the traffic, let 'em through' dance, the 'pat the dog, screw the lightbulb' dance, the hair flick, and of course, the hip thrusts.

I also took a video of the boys doing hip thrusts. It was so funny, I couldn't stop laughing.

Tim told me that I would get paid at the end of next week. I nodded telling him that I was in no hurry for the money, and he smiled.

Louis POV:

We all lined up and did our poses. Erika did a cute kick-back and wink with a little tongue out pose and we all watched her. She was so cute. We watched the video and I said, "Kicking the leg back adds a little bit of a girly thing. It would make the boys go wild. I mean look at Harry."

We all laughed. We went through the whole album, and Erika incorporated all our dancing into it, and she even let us do whatever we wanted for a whole song. She took a video of our hip thrusts, hysterically laughing the whole time.

We took her out for dinner after that and went for soft ice-cream afterwards. She got a vanilla-chocolate swirl and ate happily. "You know, I used to hate ice cream. And I mean, sweet foods aren't my favorite, but I don't HATE ice cream anymore." she said, and we all talked for a bit. We went back to the hotel, and we took showers. Tomorrow was a day off and we were going to take Erika around Milan. It was almost Christmas, and we wanted to get Erika something, so we thought that if we took her around, she would find some stuff she wanted and maybe hint at it.

Christmas was also my birthday.
