Wow, I haven't updated in a looong time. But you know, life happens. I've been working on this story for a while, and I wanted to see what you guys thought of the first chapter.

It was supposed to be just another Shake It Up Chicago rehearsal, but it turned out to transform Gunther Hessenheffer from the inside out. It first started when everyone in the studio was warming up for their dance sessions. CeCe and Rocky were stretching their limbs when Gunther and Tinka approached them with upraised chins.

"I am Gunther!" cried Gunther.

"Und I am Tinka!" yelled Tinka.

"Und ve are... the Hessenheffers!" they announced unanimously.

CeCe rolled her eyes.

"Not today guys," she said briskly.

"Vhat is wrong? Are your tacky skinny jeans too tight?" teased Tinka.

CeCe's haggard face looked up to glare at Tinka. Her red hair was unkempt and unruly; her eyes had heavy bags under them; her countenance was scrunched up to form an annoyed grimace.

"For your information, I was up ALL NIGHT hearing some stupid dog bark," informed CeCe haughtily. "So I would appreciate it if you left me and Rocky alone today."

"Hey!" snapped Rocky gruffly. "You can't speak for us both here!"

"Fine, then let the Hessenheffers bother just you!" retorted CeCe.

"You're not the only one suffering right now, CeCe. It's not always about you!"

"Oh, so that dumb dog didn't bother you, huh?"

"It did, I'm just telling you to let me speak for myself!"

"Fine!"

"Fine!"

"Good!"

"Good!"

"So we're good?"

"Oh, we are so not good!"

With that Rocky and CeCe huffed at each other and resumed their warm-up. Tinka and Gunther stared at each other in perplexity.

"Looks like the vorst dancers are finally at their vit's end!" commented Gunther with a chuckle.

CeCe scoffed and stood erect. She stepped up to Gunther and looked up fiercely at him.

"You know what?" sniffed CeCe, "I am so sick of you and Tinka always being on our case, always trying to sabotage us, and always being rude to us. What did we ever do to you, huh?"

"Vell, for one thing you tried to get me deported."

"Ugh, you had asked for it, Gunther! Either way, I'm done with you!"

"Me too!" piped up Rocky.

"I thought you vere mad at CeCe," pointed out Tinka.

"Yes, but I'm even more mad at you two," snapped Rocky. "C'mon, CeCe."

Rocky linked arms with CeCe and the two of them strutted off in disdain.

Once they were out of hearing range, CeCe said, "Now who's being the bossy one?"

Rocky chuckled and nudged CeCe forward.

Short intro, I know. It's basically a teaser ;) I'll hopefully be updating soon. By the way, did anyone notice the classic argument of "Fine! Fine! Good! Good!" from Sonny With a Chance? Man, I miss that show.
