Only time will tell. Just quickly saying, I do not own these characters or the songs mentioned in the story. I'm not trying to say that I do it is just a fan fiction written for your enjoyment. Also I wrote this before Dancemania came into the plot of season 7 so this story doesn't mention it but I do know that dancemania is a large plot in season 7 I just am not including that in this fan fic.
