Yo cam look at the shoes he had on, those were the limited edition gold medal Nike dove. Oh o I know that look. I just wanna get a closer look,I'm a be right back, cover for me.

MOOSE'S POV

I didn't walk long unto I found a dance competition in the middle of the park. Everyone was putting money on who they thought would people that were dancing were dressed in all black. They walked of the cardboard they were dancing next thing I knew I was pushed onto the cardboard. I tried to tell them that I wasn't trying to dance but they didn't listen. So we danced it ended with me jumping on a fountain letting alot of balloons go and pooping bubbles. I hear shouting and see police officers coming. All of a sudden I get pulled by the dude I was trying to find first of on there after you we ran untill we got cut off by a hotdog cart. Come on jump now fear later,he said as he jumped in-between the roof of the cart and the stove where you cook the dogs. Wow I said but then i realized that the officers were catching up so I just ran around the cart. We lost the officers when we ran into a ally.

As I was catching my breath I decided to introduce my self I'm Robert Alexander the third, but my friends call me moose. Luke,I haven't see you around. I'm just starting at NYU as an engineering major. But your gonna be dancing to right? No dancing was cool in highschool but now it's time for me to face the real world.

You really have no Idea what you just did back there do bfab,I chuckled lightly while he said that. What's bfab? Born from a boom people learn to dance but others are born to and your in New york city the dance central of the tore a part off the wall and handed it to me. Check this, it's a dance battle there has never been this much prize money,and the guys in the park are gearing up for it,your good. You should be in this. He turned around and took a sheet off of a car. It was a black 1973 ford Mercury cougar xr7 with flames on the side dude this is your car.

Luke's POV

Me and moose just drove around town until we pulled up to another ally. Come on. I opened up the slide wall. What is this place? Mine, welcome to the house of pirates. We stepped into the elevator. It's kinda of small. We moved up to the floor and I opened the door for moose to walk in, we call this place the vault. Around her dance is your identity. We live together work together train together and battle together,but unlike other teams we all have different styles. I found all these guys on the street we kind of became a sudo family down here.

This place is amazing! Moose said. You see thing one and thing two over there their the Santiago twins. We saw you dancing I the park you were amazing the both said at the same time. Luke! I heard some one call. Jacob! Meet moose. Hi Nice to meet you. The bank called were behind on our rent. I just Paid them last month. Yeah but what about the other five months. We'll talk about this later. But luke. Come on I have to show him around. Then all of a sudden three people showed up. We'll show him around,they told luke. I don't know guys. Come on luke what would Jesus do? Fine just don't break him. Ok. Alright. Yes. Moose these are the ticks good luck.

MOOSE'S POV

We were at the table with the rest of the crew when we we all started to watch me battle kid darkness. You think the Samaria are just gonna let you go like that, there gonna find you and track you down. Then a door slammed shut. And a mixed a girl bout the age of 17 with black wavy hair and red highlights and ombre blond tips in a high pony tail.

Ok that's enough. You know how I feel about all this negative talk. She was beautiful she was about 5'2', she was wearing a white crop top with denim high waisted jeans with white and blue flats. And you know how I feel about you in crop tops.Luke said. Luke calm down. Moose you met everyone on the team except one very important person Ruby she's the queen of the ship. Ruby this is moose. Yeah I know who he is. She said as she walked off into the kitchen to get a soda. Luke looks like your girl is back. Down to the club. She's not my girl ruby. So you say.

Some of us headed to the club including me while the others stayed in the vault. The club was gigantic it was pitch black except the party lights at the top. I headed to the bathroom. After I got done as I was watching my hands the Samaria came up to battle. I distracted them enough to get out of there. I ran to the center of the club. I fell but the pirates helped me up. Come on you danced against us before why not now. Look guys not now. Well ok but if he doesn't dance then he motioned for someone to come here. A guy hand his hands gripping someone's hands behind their back and a knife to their throat. He pulled the bag off her head.

LUKE'S POV

I started recoding every one dancing I the club the I noticed her dancing by her self we circled each other. Then their was alot of commotion I took her by the hand and pulled her into the photo booth. My names luke what's yours. there wasn't enough time I had to check out what's going on. Moose was on the floor with the pirates helping him up I ran over to them. What happened. The Samaria happened there trying to battle moose. I turned to the Samaria and said look guys not now ok. Well ok if he doesn't dance then he motioned for some one to come over here. A guy came out with a person gripping their hands behind their back and a knife to their throat. He pulled the bag off her head. Then the next thing I knew I was choking someone let her go. The Julian came into it. Now now Luke why so violent? You know exactly why Julian. Let her go. Fine I'll let her go when your boy dance, that's all we want.

RUBY'S POV

I was so scared I was on the verge of crying and I never show my emotions. I looked straight ahead to see Luke fina kill someone. Then Julian come out. I was jerked around do to the guy holding me to face moose. We looked eyes me looking into his brown eyes and him looking into my bluish green eyes.

Moose's POV

I'll do it. I said and that seemed to catch everyone's attention. I battled the same guy I did in the park. It was just me and him exchanging dance moves and a couple of flips and stunts in there. I ended of winning. Most of their crew started leaving but just before all of them left Julian and the dude holding ruby stayed while Julian just looked at her scanning he body. I was getting angry my fist were balled up I was identical to Luke. Why was I getting so angry I barely knew the girl I just meet her.

RUBY'S POV

Julian continued to stare at me I was horrified to what he was planning to do to me. Luke and moose were mad their fists balled angry eyes bout ready to kill some body. The dude started feeling my ass pinching it here and there, and it didn't go unnoticed by moose he saw me grow stiff. He started steeping up, but then stopped.

Moose's Pov

That guy started feeling her ass I was ready to kill I noticed her grow stiff I walked up but stopped. The dude threw her out of his arms and him and Julian ran. As she was falling I caught her and helped her stand up. Are you ok I asked.

Ruby POV

I fell but before I hit the ground moose caught me and helped me up. Are you ok he asked. I looked into his eyes and lied to him, yep fine as can, be let's go. We got in the elevator to go to the vault. When we got there I ignored everyone and went to my room, took a shower because I was feeling grime and put on some basketball shorts and a white tank top and climbed into bed.

Luke's POV

That sick son of a bitch was playing to much. Natile didn't have a place to stay so I let her spend the night in the vault. I walked her to the spare bed room which was actually a large tent with a air mattress in a big space i handed her some covers pillows and towels,said goodnight and headed to my room. But before I went to my room I stopped by ruby's room opened the door to see all the lights on. She was sleep with her giant bunny. She got it for her first birthday and only sleeps with it when she's scared, I looked around her room to the picture frame on her side table beside her phone. It was a picture of her when she just came from the hospital in my four year old arms. At the top It said family the most important key to life. I took the picture out the frame and turned it around it said: Luke holding sissy for the first time. I put everything back the way it was, tucked her in and kissed her forehead and turned the lights out. I headed to bed but found moose had left a not: Gone back to the dorms.

Moose's POV

I left the vault when everyone went to their own rooms. I decided to walk to let off steam. Ruby stood there and lied to my face, but I guess I can understand why. I entered the dormitory and found my room. My room mate was on the computer and he had the facial features of a rat kind of. I just went to sleep because I needed to be ready for tomorrow.

Ring Ring Ring! I shot up out of bed and turned to look at the clock is 7:45 my class started at eight I was late I brushed my teeth and but on blue skinny jeans with a white nike t-shirt that said just do it in black and put on some black and white Nike high tops. And walked out to find my class and grabbed an

Apple on the way. Moose! I turned to hear the familiar voice of my best friend. Where were you I thought we had plans. I know i know I'm sorry. Your sorry I had to eat diner with my freakish roommate that smells so bad and wouldn't stop going on and on about her pat rat's blog. Wait wait , we should totally hook up our roommates up mine looks just like a rat he has the little claws and the nose with whiskers and everything. She started laughing. See there you go now help me find the engineering lab. Moose what I said she pointed right behind her to a sign that said engineering lab. What would I do with out you. I honestly don't know,go. Thanks I said as I gave her a hug.

Luke's POV

I woke up to hearing music . I got up and looked over the balcony to see Natile dancing in the speaker room.

I got dressed and went to the speaker room to see her dancing. I see you found the speaker room. She turned to notice me yeah. I built this myself when we could still find boom boxes in the city. Impressive. You ready. Yep already warmed up.Good, cause you are my new recruit and it's my job to get you ready. Let's train. in here out there. Me and Natile ran the course on the roof flips dances. Worked out and balanced to. Then we stood in front of the building of moose's class. I sent him a text to look out the widow he turned to us we started waving I yanked my shirt up.

Ruby's POV

I woke up and put on my black nike work out tights and black sports bra with my black nikes and had my hair in a pony tail. Headed out to the kitchen and grabbed a special k bar. Headed to the front to stretch but all I did was sit in a middle split laying on the floor eating the bar. Then luke walked in with Natile and moose. Is it time I asked. He nodded. I hoped up and led them to the Santiago twins room. Me and Luke looked at each other and said together: open up the cage boys lets show them why we call it the vault. Hello everyone, ah what a beautiful lady. Guys come on i said. Oh yes ladies and gentle men our most prized possession they turned around and the wall of shoes came out with more. If dance is our weapon than this us our armor. As they started looking at the shoes Luke sat down in a chair while I sat on the arm. Woah Woah Woah. It's not that easy in this house. You have to earn your shoes in this house.

Moose is majoring in engineering. Yes yes I love this kid! From the led to the battery to the magnet. Their beautiful. Natile said as she picks one up and threw it. Yeah said ruby moose walked up behind her and helped her aim. I saw her blush. Wait what my little sister who never shows emotion is blushing over a guy.

Listen up everyone world jam is right around the corner but first we have to go through the two qualifying rounds which mean. But look cut him off. Which means we got alot of work cut out for us.

We started chanting pirates. And beating untill Natile stood up and said house of pirates and moose said yeah. I looked at my family at the table cheer. I headed to the kitchen to finish dishes when someone came up behind me . What are you doing here bye yourself? I don't know. Come on I want to show you something. But the dishes, I pointed to them. They can wait he took me by the hand out the door into the streets of New York. Come on we got on a bus. We entered the bus moose paid for both of us we walked to the back and some boys kept looking at me. I saw moose jaw clench and fist ball. That's when I noticed that I still had on my work out clothes. We sat down, but those boys followed us to the back. You know you have the package you know good ass perfect rack,they said. Moose was getting irritated so I just ignored them. We finally came to our stop we got off the bus but before we could the boy still left, grabbed me and pulled me. Moose saw this and punched him the face and grabbed my hand and we walked to the entrance. It read: Welcome to Coney island. Really? I asked. Yeah we need to have some fun. Ok fine. He paid for us again. When we got our tickets I saw his knuckles were bloody and blistered. Hey let me see your hand. What, oh. I got a napkin from one of the food trucks and a cup of water and started cleaning the wound then I took some dressing and wrapped it. Ok now lets have some fun he pulled me to the lighting bolt, we sat side by side and put our hands in the air when a sing came on that we knew. Next we did the twirling thing. Then we did a ride where it went in the air and switched you around. Then we got on the spinning teacups,it was us and some little kids. We got on a roller coaster. Then we got on the bumper cars.

Actually there not, the apple it self get's to soft when you bight it. What about funnel cakes. I Love them.

Moose's POV

I took of my football jacket and put it around her. She looked up tome and said thanks. Your welcome. I went to a shooting game and won her a cheetah. We final arrived at the vault but before we went in she turned around to me and said thank you and kissed me on the cheek and said prepare for Luke to give you the stinky eye. Ok. I opened the door and there was everyone siting there looking at us. Where have you been? Luke asked ruby. I took her to Coney island. For a stress reliever. Ok.
