I’m baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaack! lol With chapter numero 2! Hope you enjoy! 
I was nervous, we were all crowed into a makeup trailer and tonight was the “opening night” so to speak. Ian was on my right and Joey on my left, both looking extremely comfortable with this whole make-up thing. But hey, if they could play it cool, so could I. So I just sat there like there was nothing strange about a bunch of guys in weird dancing clothes getting prettied up.
Half an hour later I met up with Julianne and we went over a few more steps but didn’t practice enough to ruin the make-up. Now it was five minutes until the show started and we were all lined up to walk out for out debut. I really wasn’t paying attention which I soon found was not the right thing to do right before you were about to go out on national television.
“Olympian Apolo Anton Ohno and his partner Julianne Hough.”
Julianne nudged me on the side gently and we made our way down the stars with all the other couples to start of the night.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
When it was five minutes till we went on and they just broke for a commercial break I was doing my pre-performance ritual; listen to music and get in the zone, but Julianne seemed to have different ideas on how to spend those five minutes. She pulled the earbuds out of my ears and made me get up and do some more last minute practicing.
Suddenly Samantha came out from around the corner and told us it was time to get in position. So we walked out onto the stage and got into our pose.
“Dancing the Cha Cha Cha: Apolo Anton Ohno and his partner Julianne Hough.”
I heard the crowd scream and I was like, yeah I can do this. I heard the music come on and Julianne immediately fell into step taking me along with her.
After it was all over I was so excited I pulled Julianne into a hug with a huge grin on both of our faces, both knowing that this was out best performance. After some great comments from the judges and a brief interview backstage I found myself back at the studio with Julianne who had a CD in her hand.
“We have the new music for next week,” she said excitedly. I was shocked.
“You mean we are going to start practicing tonight?”
“Not totally, but I do like to be with my partners when I hear the music for the first time so we can bounce ideas off of each other.”
“But I thought I was your first partner.” She grinned and put the CD into the player.
“There is a first time for everything.” I chuckled and she continued while getting the CD to the track. “This week we have the quickstep so let’s see what song we got.”
The music came on and we sat in silence until the song ended. When it did Julianne immediately jumped up and said, “Okay, let’s get started.” I groaned and stood up glancing up at the clock on the wall. She caught my glance and said, “We will only be here for a half hour, I promise.”
Julianne replayed the song and we began to choreograph the song together.
~~~~~~~~~~~~
The next morning we met at ten to begin another week of dancing. We had been practicing for a while and we were taking a water break when Julianne spoke.
“I think you are going to do really well with this dance.”
“Well it is the quickstep, and every one knows I’m quick on my feet.” With this I gave a spaz like jigg and she looked at me like I was a little weird and then burst out laughing. I realized what a pretty laugh she had.
I smiled and in a gentlemanly fashion bowed and said, “May I have this dance?”
“You may.”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Okay, so that is the end of chapter 2. I know it is a little short, BUT I did update it before I went on vacation so I think I should get extra bonus points! I think I heard, watched, or read somewhere that they get the songs for that week after the show and that Julianne likes to go over them that night with Apolo. Well anyways, please review!
