Like to say thanks to my first Friend I made on here, she was nicer enough to let me put her in my story. Thanks a lot Beckie =)
Disclaimer: I do not own any of the new kids and this story is completely fictional. Kind of sad really if I owned the new kids I wouldn’t be sitting here writing about it. I do own Riley though and Beckie well she owns herself.

Title: Ever Dream of Me
Ever Dream of Me
Chapter one
“Riley time to get up”
Smack
“Riley”
Smack
“RILEY!”
SMACK
Beckie ducked just in time to miss a pillow wiz past her head. She laughed still holding her own pillow in her hand from were she had been hitting Riley to awaken. Riley groaned and turned back over to her now pillow less bed. Beckie shook her head and went forward she jumped and lay next to Riley.
“Why do you want me to get up so bad it’s only…”Riley looks over at the clock. “ 5:38 in the morning.”
“Because down town today there holding auditions for girls of great skill in the dance area to go dance for a band on tour.” Beckie said looking over at her and prompting herself up with her elbow.
“What? Really which band?” Riley asked suddenly fully alert.
“New Kids on the Block!” Beckie squealed happily.
Riley groaned and laid her head back down. “ You really think we have enough talent to get on a stage with them?”
“And why not?” Beckie asked poking Riley in the head.
“Because we’ve been dancing for groups whose names are not even heard of yet. Every time we try out for something bigger we don’t even reach the top 50.” Riley told her.
“Well this is different it’s a band we actually like so maybe luck is on our side.” Beckie pleaded on. “And because we actually dance those other girls got in because they were good at shaking their butts and wearing very big push-up bras.”
Riley turned over and looked into Beckie’s eyes, which at the moment looked ready to shed tears and she had a pout on her face. Riley groaned. She hated that face it was the one that always made her say yes. She turned to look away and when she looked back she was meant with the same face.
“Alright fine we can g…” Riley never finished Beckie had already lunged over and gave her a big hug.
“Thank you!” She said letting her go and quickly getting up to get dressed.
“What time are the auditions?” Riley asked curious.
“Umm…6:30.” Beckie said thinking.
Riley nodded and looked at the clock 5:40. “6:30 it’s already almost 6!”
“That’s right so you better get ready.” Beckie laughed.
Riley quickly shot up tripping over her blankets. She ran into the bathroom and jumped in the shower trying to get washed up fast. Beckie came in dropping some clothes by the sink for her.
“Thanks B!” Riley shouted from the shower.
“No problem and lets hurry up.” Beckie said already ready.
“Coming.” Riley said getting out of the shower and drying off.
It as a couple minutes that when Riley came out wearing a pair of black baggy work out pants and a black tank top with her brown hair up in a ponytail. She was still huffing trying to catch her breath from having to hurry. She grabbed a pir of shoes and quickly tied them up.
“Ready now?” Beckie asked looking her up and down.
“Yeah ready…”Riley looked at what Beckie was wearing and realized it was the same outfit she had on except in white. “ Nice.”
“What I think we look great.” Beckie smiled.
“We look like twins who wear the same clothes but different colors.” Riley said almost laughing.
Beckie just shook her head and grabbed Riley’s arm hurrying out the door. They ran the way to the audition due to traffic being to big New York. They raced through the streets dodging cars and trying not to run into people. Riley looked at the time on one of the many screens in New York and could se it read 6:03 already.
“We’re almost there.” Beckie said between breaths.
They made it to a huge building place with the front doors open and sign simply saying auditions on the side. Riley looked at Beckie who nodded. She let out a long sigh before walking up the steps into the building. There were a bunch of girls in the building all of them were stretching out.
Beckie leaned over and whispered to Riley. “I guess we don’t have to warm up.”
“You got that right that warm up was good enough for at least the rest of the day.” Riley said.
The girls went over and sighed their names on the sheet and grabbed some numbers placing them on their shirts. The lady who took their names got up and went into the open door and appearing sometime later sitting back down. Though they had a big run Beckie and Riley still got down and stretched out their sore limps. More and more girls were getting called into the room until soon Beckie and Riley were the only ones left in the open area.
The open door had loud music streaming from it. There were a couple girls in there right now audition. Riley and Beckie peeked around the corner in at them. They were really good. Beckie looked in more and suddenly let out a small squeal and backed away. Riley looked at her weird and then looked in more. She suddenly saw what made Riley squeal. There was Jon, Jordan, Donnie, Danny, and Joey at what looked like a judging table watching the girls.
“I can’t do this.” Beckie made an attempt to run.
Riley quickly grabbed her arm. “ You did not wake me up early in the morning made me rush to get down here only to back out at the last minute. You can do this.”
“No…no I can’t their in there watching.” Beckie said looking ready to hyperventilate.
“Hey hey sweetheart calm down. It’s going to be all right. Breath.” Riley instructed worried.
Beckie breathed in and out a few times trying to control her breathing and cal down.
“Can you do this if not for you then for me?” Riley asked her.
“Next group of girls. Let’s go!” A voice shouted impatiently.
Riley looked back at Beckie who took another breath and nodded at her. They were walking in just catching the end of the conversation that was going on with the boys.
“…so far all I’ve seen is a bunch of girls spazzing on the floor. Looks like we may need to go audition in LA instead.”
Riley looked over concerned at Beckie. That really wasn’t a good thing to hear going into an audition.
“We better make this good Rils.” Beckie said stepping through the door.
They walked through and saw the five guys sitting in their seats looking quite bored. Joey was leaning back in his chair making a pencil bend fast. Jordan was making his chair spin in a circle fast. Jonathon was just seating watching his younger brother and smiling. Donnie was lying back in his chair with his feet propped up on the desk. Danny was the only one seating still with his hands folding smiling as the two women entered.
Beckie stiffened instantly entering and did a few low breaths to herself. Riley watched her for a few seconds before looking up at the guys waiting for them to tell them to begin. At the moment she really couldn’t wait to get this done and over with.
“All right you can begin.”
Riley bent down and looked through the cds on the floor next to a cd player. There tons of pop ones here they could dance to perfectly. But they needed the perfect one that would wow the guys. Because if they didn’t there was no way they would get accepted. She finally picked one up and stuck it in the cd player and got up to see Beckie staring wide-eyed into space. Riley went over to her, her back turned to the boys.
“The song is scandalous by Miss-Teeq.” Riley said and looked to see if it registered to Beckie.
“Okay.” Beckie answered shakily.
Riley walked over to her side and gave her a smile, which she finally returned. She looked at the cd player as their song number. She held the little remote control in her hand waiting till Beckie loosened up. She could tell if Beckie were stiff her moves would be stiff and forced. They had to be flawless and beautiful and Riley couldn’t do that by herself.
She saw Beckie’s arm suddenly loose their grip and flow to her sides and her eyes went from wide back to slightly closed. Riley lifted her hand and quickly pressed the button for the song to start and dropped the remote on the floor as the words quickly flowed out of the box.
So, so, so scandalous
They struck a pose trying to keep it still and kept their eyes locked with the guys in front of them.
You're dangerous
Just get it up
The way you move so scandalous
It's all about the two of us
A one night stand just ain't enough
I need some stimulation baby
A little conversation maybe
You got me spinning 'round like crazy
There goes my baby
Their moves suddenly came out of nowhere they danced out of their pose and first with some fast type moves. Fast and sexy but not the sexual way the other girl did it. They needed to dance to the boys not try to arouse them.
You know you wanna sing with us (baby)
That's why you know you should be scared of us (baby)
The girls crossed their arms and bobbed their heads to the last part. The song always seemed so strong to them. It was right to try to make their moves flow with the music but also try to tell a story in the moves. If the moves didn’t match the song then stop dancing.
Non stop looks to kill
Straight talk sex appeal
One touch gives me chills and we ain't even close yet
Rough neck all around

You got me spinning and you got me in a twirl
You're my number one baby and you come to rock my world
The girls were panting from the intense they were doing. But deep down inside they were smiling and laughing. Since they were little girls they had always danced it seemed the same way now. They were dancing with each other not for a bunch of celebrities.

Riley stood straight and did a dead glance towards who finally stopped and did a hateful glance towards her. They started hip-move walk towards each other. Riley went out with a swift kick, which Beckie gracefully ducked and out with a punch to Riley side head. Riley grabbed Beckie’s arm before it reached her pushed it off. Riley bent forward touching the ground as Beckie jumped rolling across Riley’s back and coming to stand behind her.

Riley turned and Beckie grabbed her arms they started to dance with each other doing dips and twirls. The moves they were doing were so simple anyone could really do them just not the way they were. They had put a fighting style into their dance. Because was just basically fighting just more gracefully. With each other being so close they started to laugh and whisper to each other.
“This is so weird do this in front of them.” Beckie said twirling Riley in a fast circle and eyeing her.
“Yeah but at least their paying attention. Some paying attention to one rather then them both.” Riley said smiling.
“What do you mean?” Beckie asked Riley picked her up fast on her shoulder only to dip her low.
Riley simply glanced over at the table. When she picked Beckie back up she turned so Beckie could get a look over at them. Only to have her eyes meant a set of piercing blue ones bearing into her.
Scandalous (baby)
So scandalous (baby)
Scandalous (baby)
So, so, so scandalous
A little conversation goes a long, long way
Show a little patience
That you are here to stay
So show me that you're game oh
Riley stifled a laugh when she heard Beckie let out a small scream. She finally noticed that Joey has only been paying attention to one of them the whole time. Riley let her go and went back to her individual dancing as Beckie tried to catch up from her momentarily shock. Her game suddenly kicked up a notch as they both went from their slow yet fast dancing into krumping which they had learned from a gang that danced next to their apartment.

Riley yet again stopped and walked towards Beckie who was doing the same. Yet she had a smile on her face and what looked like a faint blush. Riley could t help but let a small smile creep on her face.
You know you wanna sing with us (baby)
That's why you know you should be scared of us (baby)
You know you wanna sing with us (baby)
That's why you know you should be scared of us (baby)
They ended it with each going forward and touching each other’s cheek and bowing their heads.
When the song faded they let their gazes look up into each other’s eyes. Each showing a bit of fear I them for what was to come next. All they heard was silence. Finally they stood up straight and turned to wards the guys. They were actually all facing them now. Riley couldn’t help but feel a little pride well in her chest seeing them have their full attention on them. Beckie was fidgeting with her nail still feeling nervous even though they were done dancing. Now they had to stand and wait for them.
“Ladies.” Donnie stood up. “That was great.”
Riley let out a long breath she didn’t know she had been keeping in. So far so good she thought. She heard Beckie also let out a big sigh next to her.
“May we have your numbers please.” Jordan suddenly asked.
The girls looked down at the number on their shirts.
“Umm…66 and 67.” Beckie answered.
“No he meant your phone numbers. To call you if you make it.” Donnie said laughing.
They walked forward and looked were the guys had placed a paper and grabbed the pen writing their cell numbers and their home numbers down before backing away.
“Thanks for coming in and auditioning.” Donnie said reaching forward and shaking Riley’s hand.
“Yeah you were really good.” Joey said doing the same for Beckie. “You both were.”
Beckie looked ready to blush again and quickly dipped her head again. Riley was feeling just like her at the moment. She had been shaking Donnie’s hand way to long. She quickly let go and let out a small thank you before her and Beckie high tailed it out of there.
Once outside and a couple feet away from the building Beckie stopped and let out a big scream and started to jump around. Riley laughed and suddenly joined in her celebration. They were already exhausted but couldn’t help but feel excited for the audition and actually getting to meet the guys. Suddenly there was a rumble and rain started to make its way towards the girls. They stopped jumping and started to race home having forgot their coats and were wearing tank tops.
When they got home it was already noon and pouring outside. They were drenched head to toe in water. They shivered and walked into their rooms quickly getting out of their wet cloths and into something warmer. They jumped on the couch and popped in a movie while this morning events played in the mind.
“I hope they call.” Beckie said yawning.
“Me too. We tried out hardest this morning.” Riley said leaning her head back against the couch.
“What if our best wasn’t enough?” Beckie asked looking over.
“Then I guess we weren’t meant to dance with the New Kids.” Riley said slowly drooping off to sleep.
Beckie lulled her head again the couch also. Both to tired to get up and go to their beds. Both of them let the sound of the rain sing them to sleep. During their deep sleep they never heard the phone ring.
Chapter three
“Riley”
“Oh no”
Smack
Riley quickly woke up in time to be meet with yet again another pillow. She groaned grabbed it quickly before Beckie could hit her again. She got up and stretched her aching limps out. She looked over at the time to see it was 6:04 in the morning. Her eyes widened. They must have been so tired they slept the rest of the day yesterday.
“How do you always wake up before me?” Riley asked looking over at Beckie.
“I drink a lot of coffee which help me the next day too.” Beckie grinned at her.
Riley walked into the kitchen grabbing some orange juice and pouring her self a glass. Beckie went over to the answering machine seeing some message. A voice came out if the machine.
“McCain and Obama…”
“Delete.” Riley said quickly. “I’m tired of this campaign stuff.”
Beckie deleted and went on to the next message. “ Girls rent is due this week. Not next we…”
Beckie quickly deleted it rolling her eyes. “Next message.”
“Hello Ladies…”
“Man how does everyone know we live together.” Beckie asked grabbing a bagel to eat. Riley just shrugged her shoulders and continued to drink her orange juice.
“This is Donnie Wahlberg calling to tell you that you both made it…”
Beckie stopped mid way to her mouth with the bagel and Riley had the glass on the tip of her lips but not drinking it. Beckie quickly dropped her bagel and went over to the answering machine to listen t it closely. Riley stood there still looking dazed.
“We are having a meeting with the other dancers we have chosen on Wednesday May 5. We will be at the same studio you auditioned in. Please be there by 8:00 in the morning. If you cant make it by the time then don’t bother showing up.” “End of Messages”
Beckie looked over at Riley who was still in what looked to be a daze. Until Beckie let out a scream and ran over to her grabbing her in a hug. Riley smiled and started to laugh hugging her back.
“We made it!!!” Beckie screamed.
“May 5 is this Wednesday.” Riley said. “ I can’t wait.”
“Wait when we went to sleep it was Monday.” Beckie said in thinking mode.
“Yeah and…ooh no.” Riley said realizing it was already Wednesday.
Beckie and Riley quickly raced to the bathroom grabbing toothbrushes and combs to do their hair. They laughed pushing each other so they both could fit in the mirror. After awhile Riley gave up and finished quickly going into her room to get her clothes. She didn’t know if t hey were going to dance or not so she put on some green cargo pants and a pink tank top. She finished off with a pair of her black sneakers. She quickly put her hair up in a messy ponytail.
Beckie finally came out of the bathroom and went into her room to get dressed. Riley smiled going into the bathroom to finish brushing her teeth. When she was done quickly took a fast bathroom break and then applied some light make-up on.
When she came out she could see Beckie struggling with putting some pants on. She was hopping everywhere trying to button them.
“Those jeans are two years old. You’re not going to fit into them anymore.” Riley said laughing.
“I used to always fit into them. Maybe I’m getting fat.” Beckie said pouting. “Do my thighs look big to you?”
Riley laughed again and shook her head. “They look the same they did for a year. You’re not fat.”
“Why not go put on some jogging pants on. They fit and just incase we have to dance again.” Riley said.
“Good idea. Be right back.” Beckie said rushing into her room.
Riley glanced over at the clock it read 7:05 already. She sighed starting to pace around the room. Her nerves starting to get the best of her. She was usually a patient person but not today. Beckie came out a couple minutes later with her jogging pants on and a loose t-shirt on to match it. She had her hair up also.
“Okay ready to go.” Beckie said smiling.
“All right. But we have to hurry we have to be there by 8 o clock sharp.” Riley said hurrying out the door Beckie right behind her.
They yet again started to run their way through the crowded streets desperate to make it on time. It seemed to be even more crowded then on Monday. People were running everywhere, catching cabs and pushing to get their way through people. At one point Beckie got knocked by a big looking man who was in a fast hurry. Riley screamed off at him and bent down to help her up.
“I’m fine let’s go.” Beckie said starting to run again seeing they were running out of time.
Riley ran after her staying behind her to make sure nothing else happened again. They were almost there and there was still a couple minutes left. They could do it. They started to lift their legs higher and running faster. They say the building come into view, which finally made them at least a little happy even through the pounding of their hearts.
They ran up the front steps of the building and quickly opened the door. They looked up at the clock just as it read 8:00. They jumped up and high five each other laughing. They were brought out of their celebration by a yelling tall blonde woman.
“Nice to see you finally joined us ladies.” She said her eyes glaring at them. “Please take a seat on the floor.”
Beckie and Riley quickly settled down and took a seat on the floor next to six other girls. The lady went back to were she was standing before the girls had disturbed them and went back to her lecture.
“Now like I was saying before I was rudely interrupted.” She said looking at Beckie and Riley. “ You may not talk to the guys. You’re the dance team not their friends. The only time you are to really see them in during rehearsal and live events. Now we will be having auditions later for the five leading ladies who will be dancing with the guys. Remember for Joey there will be extra dancing. So I say give it your all. What I know now is there is a song called “Twisted” that they need a girl so dance with Joey. So is anyone has any extreme stage fright I suggest you leave now.”
The girls looked around at each other but no one moved. If anyone had stage fright they sure weren’t going to let it get to them. This was everyone’s chance to make it big. If you made the New Kids dance team then you really must have some mad skill.
“Good. The guys will be here to audition every one and pick who the five leading girls will be. The girl who gets picked to dance behind Joey will also be the girl he solo dances with.” The lady said moving away from every one and heading towards another room. “Start getting ready.”
Riley got up and helped Beckie get up too and started to stretch out their legs and arms. It seemed very quite in the room for some reason. Riley looked around at the other girls. They all looked really nice for the most part. There was no glaring going on or trying to trip each other up. She smiled and went back to her exercises.
It was about an hour later when the door was opened again this time the five guys walked in standing tall and looking almost scary. The girls quickly stood up and watched them waiting for them to make a move. No one was really surprised when it was Donnie who made the first move to talk.
“Okay Ladies we’ll bring you in individual to dance and we’ll say who the five will be to dance. The other three will just be back up dancers.” Donnie said. “All right we’ll call the first girl in a couple minutes.”
With that he smiled and walked towards the room the strict blonde had gone in. The other guys said a quick hello before following Donnie into the room. Riley looked over to see Beckie suddenly very stiff and her gaze off in the distance. Riley stood behind her quick to see what she was looking at. She almost laughed out loud when she saw Joey in her line of view.
Riley left her to her daze while she quickly started to run in place trying to let the intention nervousness leave her. She had heard they would be dancing alone, which was hard enough. Her and Beckie were so used to being teamed together in dancing it would be hard to do now alone.
“Naomi Richards first please.” She heard Donnie shout out.
A black woman stood up taking deep breaths and looking scared out of her wits.
“Hey Good Luck Naomi.” Riley quickly said seeing her labored breathing.
“Um Thanks…”
“It’s Riley.” Riley said smiling.
“Thanks Riley.” Naomi said and walking into the room and closing the door.
Riley smiling again she had seen Naomi before and could tell she would probably be friends with her by the end of the day. She seemed so nice and unlike other girls didn’t look stuck up either.
Naomi came out a couple mintues later looking very relieved and walked over to were Riley was sitting and plopped down next to her smiling.
“So how did it go?” Riley asked.
“For once I think really good. The guys didn’t say anything bad that’s for sure.” Naomi said.
“Beckie Campbell please come in.” Donnie shouted next.
Beckie was suddenly in front of Riley.
“Riley! What am I going to do? YOU can’t come in with me.” Beckie said suddenly pacing.
“Hey it’s going to be fine. Just go in there and dance like I’m right next to you.” Riley said grabbing her shoulders to comfort her.
“Ms. Campbell?” Joey suddenly shouted out.
“Beckie you can do this. I need you to go in there and knock them off their feet.” Riley said pushing her towards the door.
“Ohhh okay.” Beckie said nodding. “ I’ll… I’ll do it.”
“Ms. Campbell!”
“oo…Coming.” Beckie said giving Riley a quick hug and stepping in the room and shutting the door.
Chapter Four
Riley paced outside the door every now and then pressing her head against it trying to hear how it was going inside. But she couldn’t hear anything. It figures that the doors are probably double wooden so no one could hear in it. Naomi was sitting on the floor watching her pace back in forth.
“ I think I’m loosing weight just watching you pace.” She said grinning.
“Uh…oh sorry it just we’ve been friends for so long. We used to always do our dancing together.” Riley said sitting back down.
“Well I’m sure she’ll be fine. I was nervous going in but once I started I forgot all about the guys watching.” Naomi said.
Beckie just finished her song and her back was facing the New Kid. She sighed she didn’t really know if she had done good or not she had just got into the music and let it go from there. But she had to turn around sooner or later. And as much as she would rather have it later she needed to know how she did. She slowly turned around and put a smile on her face.
She saw the guys just staring at her. In a couple minutes she was going to lose the feeling in her legs and just fall, which made her wish they would hurry up and tell her how bad she did.
“That was great Ms. Campbell.” Jordan was the first to speak
“Really!” Beckie sputtered out fast.
“Yes you were.” Joey said smiling. “Very good.”
“Thank you.” Beckie answered low and kept her face down to hide the small blush creeping on her face.
“In fact so…blood?” Joey suddenly said looking down at Beckie’s leg.
Beckie took her eyes off them to see a light thing of blood seeping through her the knee of her left leg. It was then when she felt the stinging sensation crawling up her whole leg. She hadn’t noticed it before. She hissed it pain when the fabric form her pants touch the wound.
She heard chairs moving and looked up to see the guys making their way over to her. They bent down by her leg and quickly rolled up her pants to get it away from the wound. Jon brought a chair over for her to sit down on. Danny went over and grabbed a towel and brought it over. He grabbed some water and poured it over the towel. He handed it over to Joey who took it and placed it slowly against Beckie’s leg. She hissed again from the sting but quickly calmed back down.
“Here I found some peroxide in the bathroom.” Jordan said passing it over to Joey.
“Thanks.” Joey said taking it. “This may sting a bit.”
He gently picked her leg up and poured some on it. Beckie feeling the sting quickly tightened her hands into fists to stop herself from crying out again. It now seemed like a stupid idea to be running the streets. But the treatment she was getting sure was making it a good idea.
“So what made you bleed?” Donnie asked looking at it.
“Riley and I were in a hurry to get here on time. So we had to run the whole way to get here.” Beckie answered him.
“Why not take a cab?” Joey asked.
“If we took a cab we would be getting here in about another 20 minutes.” Beckie said smiling. “New York is always packed. It’s better to walk.”
They nodded in understanding. Joey gently wiped away some of the blood trying not to irate the wound anymore. He looked up at her and smiled. She smiled back looking into those beautiful eyes. She never got lost in someone’s eyes before. But how could you not get lost in these one they were so distracting.
“So as I was saying.” Joey said quickly averting his eyes away and standing up with the rest of the guys.
“Your so good we were wondering…do you have bad stage fright?”
Riley was still outside the door pacing. She kept looking up at the clock as the time passed.
“Jeez what are they doing making love. It’s been like 15 minutes.” Riley said still watching the clock.
“Well I guess all you really need is 15 minutes. But there is five guys in there so she would need…”Naomi started to count in her head.
“I don’t need to know.” Riley said laughing.
The door suddenly opened making Riley whip her head around to see a limping Beckie come out.
“Oh my god they did rape her.” Riley said going over to Beckie.
“No they didn’t…but if they did no complaints from me sweetie.” Beckie said taking a seat slowly on the floor. “When I fell in the streets I scraped my knee with out realizing it. They took care of it for me.”
“Really? Are you okay?” Riley said quickly going to look at her leg.
“It’s fine. Joey put some peroxide on it.” Beckie beamed with happiness..
“Aww…so Joey fixed you up.” Naomi said catching on quick.
“Angel Harvey please come in.” Donnie’s familiar voice said.
A girl suddenly stood up and started to walk towards the door. When she walked past Riley, Beckie and Naomi she did a quick hair flip and gave them what looked top be the dirtiest look she could give.
“I guess not everyone is nice.” Riley said.
“That girl is nothing but trouble. I have to dance with her before a while ago. Total drama queen.” Naomi said disgusted.
“Well she made the tour so I guess we’re going to have to put up with her.” Riley said watching her sway into the room.
“I can tell this is going to be like high school all over again.” Beckie said looking after her.
“But anyways Beckie how did the dancing go?” Riley asked drawing her attention back to her friend.
“Well.” Beckie said frowning.
“What? What happened?” Naomi asked next.
Beckie suddenly smiled widely. “ They said I was so good I’m going to be one of the lead girls!”
The girls screamed loudly and quickly hugged each other.
“For who?” Riley quickly asked having a pretty good idea who it was.
“Joey.” Beckie said a little low.
Riley almost laughed loud. “Who?”
“Joey!” Beckie said louder and laughing.
“Knew it!” Riley said hugging her again.
“Well then why did you ask?” Beckie asked.
“Just wanted to hear you say it.” Riley answered grinning at her.
“Smart ass.” Beckie said.
For the next couple minutes Naomi and Beckie helped Riley get ready for audition. Helping her with some dance moves and stretching. It was only a few minutes later when the Angel girl came back out smirking at the girls.
“Guess who will be dancing with Donnie.” Angel said holding her arms up like a winner.
“You?” One of the girls asked.
“They said you got the Donnie lead?” Riley suddenly asked out.
“They didn’t say anything. But I can tell.” Angel said as a matter-of- factly.
“How?” Naomi asked.
“By the way his eyes always followed me.” Angel said smiling at the girls.
Riley couldn’t help but feel a little hate well up in her chest. She wasn’t quite sure why but it was there and it wasn’t going away. She quickly went back to her dancing practicing. For some reason her dancing kicks started to look like she was kickboxing.
“Don’t listen to her. She’s just trying to get on everyone’s nerves.” Naomi said patting Riley’s shoulder.
“Well she’s really good at it.” Beckie said crossing her arms and glaring at Angel.
“Don’t worry guys. I’m not going to let her get on my nerves.” Riley said doing some more kicks.
“Then why do you look like your ready for a fight?” Beckie said looking at her.
“I am n…” Riley was cut off by Donnie’s voice.
“Riley Dumas please come in.” Donnie said.
“Hey that’s you.” Beckie quickly said.
Riley just gave her a weird look and laughed. “Yes I know. Be right back guys.”
“Good luck.” Naomi quickly shouted after her.
“Yeah don’t want you to break a leg do we?” Angel voiced her opinion before she went in.
“Huh thanks guys.” Riley said and looked over at Angel before walking in the room.
Disclaimer: I do not own any of the new kids and this story is completely fictional. Kind of sad really if I owned the new kids I wouldn’t be sitting here writing about it. I do own Riley though and Beckie well she owns herself.

Title: Ever Dream of Me
Ever Dream of Me
Chapter one
“Riley time to get up”
Smack
“Riley”
Smack
“RILEY!”
SMACK
Beckie ducked just in time to miss a pillow wiz past her head. She laughed still holding her own pillow in her hand from were she had been hitting Riley to awaken. Riley groaned and turned back over to her now pillow less bed. Beckie shook her head and went forward she jumped and lay next to Riley.
“Why do you want me to get up so bad it’s only…”Riley looks over at the clock. “ 5:38 in the morning.”
“Because down town today there holding auditions for girls of great skill in the dance area to go dance for a band on tour.” Beckie said looking over at her and prompting herself up with her elbow.
“What? Really which band?” Riley asked suddenly fully alert.
“New Kids on the Block!” Beckie squealed happily.
Riley groaned and laid her head back down. “ You really think we have enough talent to get on a stage with them?”
“And why not?” Beckie asked poking Riley in the head.
“Because we’ve been dancing for groups whose names are not even heard of yet. Every time we try out for something bigger we don’t even reach the top 50.” Riley told her.
“Well this is different it’s a band we actually like so maybe luck is on our side.” Beckie pleaded on. “And because we actually dance those other girls got in because they were good at shaking their butts and wearing very big push-up bras.”
Riley turned over and looked into Beckie’s eyes, which at the moment looked ready to shed tears and she had a pout on her face. Riley groaned. She hated that face it was the one that always made her say yes. She turned to look away and when she looked back she was meant with the same face.
“Alright fine we can g…” Riley never finished Beckie had already lunged over and gave her a big hug.
“Thank you!” She said letting her go and quickly getting up to get dressed.
“What time are the auditions?” Riley asked curious.
“Umm…6:30.” Beckie said thinking.
Riley nodded and looked at the clock 5:40. “6:30 it’s already almost 6!”
“That’s right so you better get ready.” Beckie laughed.
Riley quickly shot up tripping over her blankets. She ran into the bathroom and jumped in the shower trying to get washed up fast. Beckie came in dropping some clothes by the sink for her.
“Thanks B!” Riley shouted from the shower.
“No problem and lets hurry up.” Beckie said already ready.
“Coming.” Riley said getting out of the shower and drying off.
It as a couple minutes that when Riley came out wearing a pair of black baggy work out pants and a black tank top with her brown hair up in a ponytail. She was still huffing trying to catch her breath from having to hurry. She grabbed a pir of shoes and quickly tied them up.
“Ready now?” Beckie asked looking her up and down.
“Yeah ready…”Riley looked at what Beckie was wearing and realized it was the same outfit she had on except in white. “ Nice.”
“What I think we look great.” Beckie smiled.
“We look like twins who wear the same clothes but different colors.” Riley said almost laughing.
Beckie just shook her head and grabbed Riley’s arm hurrying out the door. They ran the way to the audition due to traffic being to big New York. They raced through the streets dodging cars and trying not to run into people. Riley looked at the time on one of the many screens in New York and could se it read 6:03 already.
“We’re almost there.” Beckie said between breaths.
They made it to a huge building place with the front doors open and sign simply saying auditions on the side. Riley looked at Beckie who nodded. She let out a long sigh before walking up the steps into the building. There were a bunch of girls in the building all of them were stretching out.
Beckie leaned over and whispered to Riley. “I guess we don’t have to warm up.”
“You got that right that warm up was good enough for at least the rest of the day.” Riley said.
The girls went over and sighed their names on the sheet and grabbed some numbers placing them on their shirts. The lady who took their names got up and went into the open door and appearing sometime later sitting back down. Though they had a big run Beckie and Riley still got down and stretched out their sore limps. More and more girls were getting called into the room until soon Beckie and Riley were the only ones left in the open area.
The open door had loud music streaming from it. There were a couple girls in there right now audition. Riley and Beckie peeked around the corner in at them. They were really good. Beckie looked in more and suddenly let out a small squeal and backed away. Riley looked at her weird and then looked in more. She suddenly saw what made Riley squeal. There was Jon, Jordan, Donnie, Danny, and Joey at what looked like a judging table watching the girls.
“I can’t do this.” Beckie made an attempt to run.
Riley quickly grabbed her arm. “ You did not wake me up early in the morning made me rush to get down here only to back out at the last minute. You can do this.”
“No…no I can’t their in there watching.” Beckie said looking ready to hyperventilate.
“Hey hey sweetheart calm down. It’s going to be all right. Breath.” Riley instructed worried.
Beckie breathed in and out a few times trying to control her breathing and cal down.
“Can you do this if not for you then for me?” Riley asked her.
“Next group of girls. Let’s go!” A voice shouted impatiently.
Riley looked back at Beckie who took another breath and nodded at her. They were walking in just catching the end of the conversation that was going on with the boys.
“…so far all I’ve seen is a bunch of girls spazzing on the floor. Looks like we may need to go audition in LA instead.”
Riley looked over concerned at Beckie. That really wasn’t a good thing to hear going into an audition.
“We better make this good Rils.” Beckie said stepping through the door.
They walked through and saw the five guys sitting in their seats looking quite bored. Joey was leaning back in his chair making a pencil bend fast. Jordan was making his chair spin in a circle fast. Jonathon was just seating watching his younger brother and smiling. Donnie was lying back in his chair with his feet propped up on the desk. Danny was the only one seating still with his hands folding smiling as the two women entered.
Beckie stiffened instantly entering and did a few low breaths to herself. Riley watched her for a few seconds before looking up at the guys waiting for them to tell them to begin. At the moment she really couldn’t wait to get this done and over with.
“All right you can begin.”
Chapter two
Riley bent down and looked through the cds on the floor next to a cd player. There tons of pop ones here they could dance to perfectly. But they needed the perfect one that would wow the guys. Because if they didn’t there was no way they would get accepted. She finally picked one up and stuck it in the cd player and got up to see Beckie staring wide-eyed into space. Riley went over to her, her back turned to the boys.
“The song is scandalous by Miss-Teeq.” Riley said and looked to see if it registered to Beckie.
“Okay.” Beckie answered shakily.
Riley walked over to her side and gave her a smile, which she finally returned. She looked at the cd player as their song number. She held the little remote control in her hand waiting till Beckie loosened up. She could tell if Beckie were stiff her moves would be stiff and forced. They had to be flawless and beautiful and Riley couldn’t do that by herself.
She saw Beckie’s arm suddenly loose their grip and flow to her sides and her eyes went from wide back to slightly closed. Riley lifted her hand and quickly pressed the button for the song to start and dropped the remote on the floor as the words quickly flowed out of the box.
So, so, so scandalous
They struck a pose trying to keep it still and kept their eyes locked with the guys in front of them.
You're dangerous
Just get it up
The way you move so scandalous
It's all about the two of us
A one night stand just ain't enough
I need some stimulation baby
A little conversation maybe
You got me spinning 'round like crazy
There goes my baby
Their moves suddenly came out of nowhere they danced out of their pose and first with some fast type moves. Fast and sexy but not the sexual way the other girl did it. They needed to dance to the boys not try to arouse them.
You know you wanna sing with us (baby)
That's why you know you should be scared of us (baby)
The girls crossed their arms and bobbed their heads to the last part. The song always seemed so strong to them. It was right to try to make their moves flow with the music but also try to tell a story in the moves. If the moves didn’t match the song then stop dancing.
Non stop looks to kill
Straight talk sex appeal
One touch gives me chills and we ain't even close yet
Rough neck all around
Inking all over town
Show me how you get down

You got me spinning and you got me in a twirl
You're my number one baby and you come to rock my world
The girls were panting from the intense they were doing. But deep down inside they were smiling and laughing. Since they were little girls they had always danced it seemed the same way now. They were dancing with each other not for a bunch of celebrities.

Riley stood straight and did a dead glance towards who finally stopped and did a hateful glance towards her. They started hip-move walk towards each other. Riley went out with a swift kick, which Beckie gracefully ducked and out with a punch to Riley side head. Riley grabbed Beckie’s arm before it reached her pushed it off. Riley bent forward touching the ground as Beckie jumped rolling across Riley’s back and coming to stand behind her.

Riley turned and Beckie grabbed her arms they started to dance with each other doing dips and twirls. The moves they were doing were so simple anyone could really do them just not the way they were. They had put a fighting style into their dance. Because was just basically fighting just more gracefully. With each other being so close they started to laugh and whisper to each other.
“This is so weird do this in front of them.” Beckie said twirling Riley in a fast circle and eyeing her.
“Yeah but at least their paying attention. Some paying attention to one rather then them both.” Riley said smiling.
“What do you mean?” Beckie asked Riley picked her up fast on her shoulder only to dip her low.
Riley simply glanced over at the table. When she picked Beckie back up she turned so Beckie could get a look over at them. Only to have her eyes meant a set of piercing blue ones bearing into her.
Scandalous (baby)
So scandalous (baby)
Scandalous (baby)
So, so, so scandalous
A little conversation goes a long, long way
Show a little patience
That you are here to stay
So show me that you're game oh
Riley stifled a laugh when she heard Beckie let out a small scream. She finally noticed that Joey has only been paying attention to one of them the whole time. Riley let her go and went back to her individual dancing as Beckie tried to catch up from her momentarily shock. Her game suddenly kicked up a notch as they both went from their slow yet fast dancing into krumping which they had learned from a gang that danced next to their apartment.

Riley yet again stopped and walked towards Beckie who was doing the same. Yet she had a smile on her face and what looked like a faint blush. Riley could t help but let a small smile creep on her face.
You know you wanna sing with us (baby)
That's why you know you should be scared of us (baby)
You know you wanna sing with us (baby)
That's why you know you should be scared of us (baby)
They ended it with each going forward and touching each other’s cheek and bowing their heads.
When the song faded they let their gazes look up into each other’s eyes. Each showing a bit of fear I them for what was to come next. All they heard was silence. Finally they stood up straight and turned to wards the guys. They were actually all facing them now. Riley couldn’t help but feel a little pride well in her chest seeing them have their full attention on them. Beckie was fidgeting with her nail still feeling nervous even though they were done dancing. Now they had to stand and wait for them.
“Ladies.” Donnie stood up. “That was great.”
Riley let out a long breath she didn’t know she had been keeping in. So far so good she thought. She heard Beckie also let out a big sigh next to her.
“May we have your numbers please.” Jordan suddenly asked.
The girls looked down at the number on their shirts.
“Umm…66 and 67.” Beckie answered.
“No he meant your phone numbers. To call you if you make it.” Donnie said laughing.
They walked forward and looked were the guys had placed a paper and grabbed the pen writing their cell numbers and their home numbers down before backing away.
“Thanks for coming in and auditioning.” Donnie said reaching forward and shaking Riley’s hand.
“Yeah you were really good.” Joey said doing the same for Beckie. “You both were.”
Beckie looked ready to blush again and quickly dipped her head again. Riley was feeling just like her at the moment. She had been shaking Donnie’s hand way to long. She quickly let go and let out a small thank you before her and Beckie high tailed it out of there.
Once outside and a couple feet away from the building Beckie stopped and let out a big scream and started to jump around. Riley laughed and suddenly joined in her celebration. They were already exhausted but couldn’t help but feel excited for the audition and actually getting to meet the guys. Suddenly there was a rumble and rain started to make its way towards the girls. They stopped jumping and started to race home having forgot their coats and were wearing tank tops.
When they got home it was already noon and pouring outside. They were drenched head to toe in water. They shivered and walked into their rooms quickly getting out of their wet cloths and into something warmer. They jumped on the couch and popped in a movie while this morning events played in the mind.
“I hope they call.” Beckie said yawning.
“Me too. We tried out hardest this morning.” Riley said leaning her head back against the couch.
“What if our best wasn’t enough?” Beckie asked looking over.
“Then I guess we weren’t meant to dance with the New Kids.” Riley said slowly drooping off to sleep.
Beckie lulled her head again the couch also. Both to tired to get up and go to their beds. Both of them let the sound of the rain sing them to sleep. During their deep sleep they never heard the phone ring.
Chapter three
“Riley”
“Oh no”
Smack
Riley quickly woke up in time to be meet with yet again another pillow. She groaned grabbed it quickly before Beckie could hit her again. She got up and stretched her aching limps out. She looked over at the time to see it was 6:04 in the morning. Her eyes widened. They must have been so tired they slept the rest of the day yesterday.
“How do you always wake up before me?” Riley asked looking over at Beckie.
“I drink a lot of coffee which help me the next day too.” Beckie grinned at her.
Riley walked into the kitchen grabbing some orange juice and pouring her self a glass. Beckie went over to the answering machine seeing some message. A voice came out if the machine.
“McCain and Obama…”
“Delete.” Riley said quickly. “I’m tired of this campaign stuff.”
Beckie deleted and went on to the next message. “ Girls rent is due this week. Not next we…”
Beckie quickly deleted it rolling her eyes. “Next message.”
“Hello Ladies…”
“Man how does everyone know we live together.” Beckie asked grabbing a bagel to eat. Riley just shrugged her shoulders and continued to drink her orange juice.
“This is Donnie Wahlberg calling to tell you that you both made it…”
Beckie stopped mid way to her mouth with the bagel and Riley had the glass on the tip of her lips but not drinking it. Beckie quickly dropped her bagel and went over to the answering machine to listen t it closely. Riley stood there still looking dazed.
“We are having a meeting with the other dancers we have chosen on Wednesday May 5. We will be at the same studio you auditioned in. Please be there by 8:00 in the morning. If you cant make it by the time then don’t bother showing up.” “End of Messages”
Beckie looked over at Riley who was still in what looked to be a daze. Until Beckie let out a scream and ran over to her grabbing her in a hug. Riley smiled and started to laugh hugging her back.
“We made it!!!” Beckie screamed.
“May 5 is this Wednesday.” Riley said. “ I can’t wait.”
“Wait when we went to sleep it was Monday.” Beckie said in thinking mode.
“Yeah and…ooh no.” Riley said realizing it was already Wednesday.
Beckie and Riley quickly raced to the bathroom grabbing toothbrushes and combs to do their hair. They laughed pushing each other so they both could fit in the mirror. After awhile Riley gave up and finished quickly going into her room to get her clothes. She didn’t know if t hey were going to dance or not so she put on some green cargo pants and a pink tank top. She finished off with a pair of her black sneakers. She quickly put her hair up in a messy ponytail.
Beckie finally came out of the bathroom and went into her room to get dressed. Riley smiled going into the bathroom to finish brushing her teeth. When she was done quickly took a fast bathroom break and then applied some light make-up on.
When she came out she could see Beckie struggling with putting some pants on. She was hopping everywhere trying to button them.
“Those jeans are two years old. You’re not going to fit into them anymore.” Riley said laughing.
“I used to always fit into them. Maybe I’m getting fat.” Beckie said pouting. “Do my thighs look big to you?”
Riley laughed again and shook her head. “They look the same they did for a year. You’re not fat.”
“Why not go put on some jogging pants on. They fit and just incase we have to dance again.” Riley said.
“Good idea. Be right back.” Beckie said rushing into her room.
Riley glanced over at the clock it read 7:05 already. She sighed starting to pace around the room. Her nerves starting to get the best of her. She was usually a patient person but not today. Beckie came out a couple minutes later with her jogging pants on and a loose t-shirt on to match it. She had her hair up also.
“Okay ready to go.” Beckie said smiling.
“All right. But we have to hurry we have to be there by 8 o clock sharp.” Riley said hurrying out the door Beckie right behind her.
They yet again started to run their way through the crowded streets desperate to make it on time. It seemed to be even more crowded then on Monday. People were running everywhere, catching cabs and pushing to get their way through people. At one point Beckie got knocked by a big looking man who was in a fast hurry. Riley screamed off at him and bent down to help her up.
“I’m fine let’s go.” Beckie said starting to run again seeing they were running out of time.
Riley ran after her staying behind her to make sure nothing else happened again. They were almost there and there was still a couple minutes left. They could do it. They started to lift their legs higher and running faster. They say the building come into view, which finally made them at least a little happy even through the pounding of their hearts.
They ran up the front steps of the building and quickly opened the door. They looked up at the clock just as it read 8:00. They jumped up and high five each other laughing. They were brought out of their celebration by a yelling tall blonde woman.
“Nice to see you finally joined us ladies.” She said her eyes glaring at them. “Please take a seat on the floor.”
Beckie and Riley quickly settled down and took a seat on the floor next to six other girls. The lady went back to were she was standing before the girls had disturbed them and went back to her lecture.
“Now like I was saying before I was rudely interrupted.” She said looking at Beckie and Riley. “ You may not talk to the guys. You’re the dance team not their friends. The only time you are to really see them in during rehearsal and live events. Now we will be having auditions later for the five leading ladies who will be dancing with the guys. Remember for Joey there will be extra dancing. So I say give it your all. What I know now is there is a song called “Twisted” that they need a girl so dance with Joey. So is anyone has any extreme stage fright I suggest you leave now.”
The girls looked around at each other but no one moved. If anyone had stage fright they sure weren’t going to let it get to them. This was everyone’s chance to make it big. If you made the New Kids dance team then you really must have some mad skill.
“Good. The guys will be here to audition every one and pick who the five leading girls will be. The girl who gets picked to dance behind Joey will also be the girl he solo dances with.” The lady said moving away from every one and heading towards another room. “Start getting ready.”
Riley got up and helped Beckie get up too and started to stretch out their legs and arms. It seemed very quite in the room for some reason. Riley looked around at the other girls. They all looked really nice for the most part. There was no glaring going on or trying to trip each other up. She smiled and went back to her exercises.
It was about an hour later when the door was opened again this time the five guys walked in standing tall and looking almost scary. The girls quickly stood up and watched them waiting for them to make a move. No one was really surprised when it was Donnie who made the first move to talk.
“Okay Ladies we’ll bring you in individual to dance and we’ll say who the five will be to dance. The other three will just be back up dancers.” Donnie said. “All right we’ll call the first girl in a couple minutes.”
With that he smiled and walked towards the room the strict blonde had gone in. The other guys said a quick hello before following Donnie into the room. Riley looked over to see Beckie suddenly very stiff and her gaze off in the distance. Riley stood behind her quick to see what she was looking at. She almost laughed out loud when she saw Joey in her line of view.
Riley left her to her daze while she quickly started to run in place trying to let the intention nervousness leave her. She had heard they would be dancing alone, which was hard enough. Her and Beckie were so used to being teamed together in dancing it would be hard to do now alone.
“Naomi Richards first please.” She heard Donnie shout out.
A black woman stood up taking deep breaths and looking scared out of her wits.
“Hey Good Luck Naomi.” Riley quickly said seeing her labored breathing.
“Um Thanks…”
“It’s Riley.” Riley said smiling.
“Thanks Riley.” Naomi said and walking into the room and closing the door.
Riley smiling again she had seen Naomi before and could tell she would probably be friends with her by the end of the day. She seemed so nice and unlike other girls didn’t look stuck up either.
Naomi came out a couple mintues later looking very relieved and walked over to were Riley was sitting and plopped down next to her smiling.
“So how did it go?” Riley asked.
“For once I think really good. The guys didn’t say anything bad that’s for sure.” Naomi said.
“Beckie Campbell please come in.” Donnie shouted next.
Beckie was suddenly in front of Riley.
“Riley! What am I going to do? YOU can’t come in with me.” Beckie said suddenly pacing.
“Hey it’s going to be fine. Just go in there and dance like I’m right next to you.” Riley said grabbing her shoulders to comfort her.
“Ms. Campbell?” Joey suddenly shouted out.
“Beckie you can do this. I need you to go in there and knock them off their feet.” Riley said pushing her towards the door.
“Ohhh okay.” Beckie said nodding. “ I’ll… I’ll do it.”
“Ms. Campbell!”
“oo…Coming.” Beckie said giving Riley a quick hug and stepping in the room and shutting the door.
Chapter Four
Riley paced outside the door every now and then pressing her head against it trying to hear how it was going inside. But she couldn’t hear anything. It figures that the doors are probably double wooden so no one could hear in it. Naomi was sitting on the floor watching her pace back in forth.
“ I think I’m loosing weight just watching you pace.” She said grinning.
“Uh…oh sorry it just we’ve been friends for so long. We used to always do our dancing together.” Riley said sitting back down.
“Well I’m sure she’ll be fine. I was nervous going in but once I started I forgot all about the guys watching.” Naomi said.
With Beckie
Beckie just finished her song and her back was facing the New Kid. She sighed she didn’t really know if she had done good or not she had just got into the music and let it go from there. But she had to turn around sooner or later. And as much as she would rather have it later she needed to know how she did. She slowly turned around and put a smile on her face.
She saw the guys just staring at her. In a couple minutes she was going to lose the feeling in her legs and just fall, which made her wish they would hurry up and tell her how bad she did.
“That was great Ms. Campbell.” Jordan was the first to speak
“Really!” Beckie sputtered out fast.
“Yes you were.” Joey said smiling. “Very good.”
“Thank you.” Beckie answered low and kept her face down to hide the small blush creeping on her face.
“In fact so…blood?” Joey suddenly said looking down at Beckie’s leg.
Beckie took her eyes off them to see a light thing of blood seeping through her the knee of her left leg. It was then when she felt the stinging sensation crawling up her whole leg. She hadn’t noticed it before. She hissed it pain when the fabric form her pants touch the wound.
She heard chairs moving and looked up to see the guys making their way over to her. They bent down by her leg and quickly rolled up her pants to get it away from the wound. Jon brought a chair over for her to sit down on. Danny went over and grabbed a towel and brought it over. He grabbed some water and poured it over the towel. He handed it over to Joey who took it and placed it slowly against Beckie’s leg. She hissed again from the sting but quickly calmed back down.
“Here I found some peroxide in the bathroom.” Jordan said passing it over to Joey.
“Thanks.” Joey said taking it. “This may sting a bit.”
He gently picked her leg up and poured some on it. Beckie feeling the sting quickly tightened her hands into fists to stop herself from crying out again. It now seemed like a stupid idea to be running the streets. But the treatment she was getting sure was making it a good idea.
“So what made you bleed?” Donnie asked looking at it.
“Riley and I were in a hurry to get here on time. So we had to run the whole way to get here.” Beckie answered him.
“Why not take a cab?” Joey asked.
“If we took a cab we would be getting here in about another 20 minutes.” Beckie said smiling. “New York is always packed. It’s better to walk.”
They nodded in understanding. Joey gently wiped away some of the blood trying not to irate the wound anymore. He looked up at her and smiled. She smiled back looking into those beautiful eyes. She never got lost in someone’s eyes before. But how could you not get lost in these one they were so distracting.
“So as I was saying.” Joey said quickly averting his eyes away and standing up with the rest of the guys.
“Your so good we were wondering…do you have bad stage fright?”
With Riley
Riley was still outside the door pacing. She kept looking up at the clock as the time passed.
“Jeez what are they doing making love. It’s been like 15 minutes.” Riley said still watching the clock.
“Well I guess all you really need is 15 minutes. But there is five guys in there so she would need…”Naomi started to count in her head.
“I don’t need to know.” Riley said laughing.
The door suddenly opened making Riley whip her head around to see a limping Beckie come out.
“Oh my god they did rape her.” Riley said going over to Beckie.
“No they didn’t…but if they did no complaints from me sweetie.” Beckie said taking a seat slowly on the floor. “When I fell in the streets I scraped my knee with out realizing it. They took care of it for me.”
“Really? Are you okay?” Riley said quickly going to look at her leg.
“It’s fine. Joey put some peroxide on it.” Beckie beamed with happiness..
“Aww…so Joey fixed you up.” Naomi said catching on quick.
“Angel Harvey please come in.” Donnie’s familiar voice said.
A girl suddenly stood up and started to walk towards the door. When she walked past Riley, Beckie and Naomi she did a quick hair flip and gave them what looked top be the dirtiest look she could give.
“I guess not everyone is nice.” Riley said.
“That girl is nothing but trouble. I have to dance with her before a while ago. Total drama queen.” Naomi said disgusted.
“Well she made the tour so I guess we’re going to have to put up with her.” Riley said watching her sway into the room.
“I can tell this is going to be like high school all over again.” Beckie said looking after her.
“But anyways Beckie how did the dancing go?” Riley asked drawing her attention back to her friend.
“Well.” Beckie said frowning.
“What? What happened?” Naomi asked next.
Beckie suddenly smiled widely. “ They said I was so good I’m going to be one of the lead girls!”
The girls screamed loudly and quickly hugged each other.
“For who?” Riley quickly asked having a pretty good idea who it was.
“Joey.” Beckie said a little low.
Riley almost laughed loud. “Who?”
“Joey!” Beckie said louder and laughing.
“Knew it!” Riley said hugging her again.
“Well then why did you ask?” Beckie asked.
“Just wanted to hear you say it.” Riley answered grinning at her.
“Smart ass.” Beckie said.
For the next couple minutes Naomi and Beckie helped Riley get ready for audition. Helping her with some dance moves and stretching. It was only a few minutes later when the Angel girl came back out smirking at the girls.
“Guess who will be dancing with Donnie.” Angel said holding her arms up like a winner.
“You?” One of the girls asked.
“They said you got the Donnie lead?” Riley suddenly asked out.
“They didn’t say anything. But I can tell.” Angel said as a matter-of- factly.
“How?” Naomi asked.
“By the way his eyes always followed me.” Angel said smiling at the girls.
Riley couldn’t help but feel a little hate well up in her chest. She wasn’t quite sure why but it was there and it wasn’t going away. She quickly went back to her dancing practicing. For some reason her dancing kicks started to look like she was kickboxing.
“Don’t listen to her. She’s just trying to get on everyone’s nerves.” Naomi said patting Riley’s shoulder.
“Well she’s really good at it.” Beckie said crossing her arms and glaring at Angel.
“Don’t worry guys. I’m not going to let her get on my nerves.” Riley said doing some more kicks.
“Then why do you look like your ready for a fight?” Beckie said looking at her.
“I am n…” Riley was cut off by Donnie’s voice.
“Riley Dumas please come in.” Donnie said.
“Hey that’s you.” Beckie quickly said.
Riley just gave her a weird look and laughed. “Yes I know. Be right back guys.”
“Good luck.” Naomi quickly shouted after her.
“Yeah don’t want you to break a leg do we?” Angel voiced her opinion before she went in.
“Huh thanks guys.” Riley said and looked over at Angel before walking in the room.
