Dance With Me by Omaisabella

In a crowded auditorium, one pair of dancers were performing live at the center stage. The crowd roared with excitement and was thrilled with their performance. Everyone clapped their hands when the pair of dancers ended their performance very well.

" Everyone, the Synchronized Dancers! Let's give them another round of applause. Thank you, Synchronized Dancers!" The emcee of the program gladly announced to the audience after their performance.

Jade and Mark bowed their heads to show their humbleness and respect to the audiences. They were smiling contentedly as they walked out, leaving the center stage and went to the back stage.

They were both sweating hard yet their hearts were filled with satisfaction about their performance. They hugged each other. They sat down on the bench where the other contestants were sitting.

" Hey! You did great back there! Congrats!" A guy near them said to both of them with a wide smile on his face. He was Anthony. The main leader of the group named Jack Ass Dancers.

" Thank you!" Mark replied humbly towards Anthony.

Jade gave Anthony a pleasing smile and nodded to show her appreciation. The other contestants gave their congratulatory applause to both of them. Mark held Jade's hand feeling comfortable with each other.

After all the contestants had finished performing on the stage, the emcee announced the winners.

Jade and Mark were confident that they have done their best performance and they felt a little nervous though because there were contestants that showed their extraordinary movements in the stage.

" Ladies and gentlemen, I have the honour to announce to you our top three winners. The 3rd spot goes to .....The Slashers! The prize will be awarded by our sponsors of this competition. "

The crowd gave a round of applause to the Slashers. Then, the dancers from the Slashers jumped with joy and received their prize merrily.

" Congratulations to the Slashers! And now, I will call on the name of the second winner!" The emcee spoke once more. A loud drumming was heard to make a suspense over the audiences.

A few seconds later, the emcee announced the second winner. " Congratulations to the....Warrior Dancers! Our vice president of CBN enterprise will please give the award."

The Warrior Dancers jumped with joy and hugged each other while the other remaining contestants gave them a round of applause. They took their trophy and the prize money worth 300, 000 pesos.

After taking their prizes happily, the Warrior Dancers gave their thanks to the audiences by waving their hands and bowing several times infront of the crowd.

" Lastly...who among our remaining contestants will be our champion for this year as the Best Dancer 2019? Well....let's all find out....Garnering an average of 99 %...Our champion is the....Synchronized Dancers!" The emcee announced with full of energy and suspense. "Our Champions will be given 2 million pesos and will be competing on London, USA to represent our country. May we ask the president of CBN enterprise to give the trophy and prize money to our Champions."

Hearing the result of the competition, the crowd roared and gave a standing ovation when the emcee announced the champion.

Jade and Mark was so happy when they were announced as the champion. They went near the president of CBN enterprise and made a shake hand to him while receiving gladly their awards.

With teary eyes, Jade and Mark took the microphone of the emcee and spoke to the audiences.

" We would like to extend our heartfelt gratitude to all who have supported us. Thank you so much everyone!" Mark said as he looked at the crowd.

" Thank you everyone! Please continue supporting us!" Jade said when she took the microphone from Mark.

A round of applause was heard all over the auditorium. The other contestants win or lose gave their warm congratulatory handshake to Jade and Mark. They took a picture on all of them as they ended the program.

Jade and Mark went home after the program. They drove Mark's private car when they left the auditorium.

As they reached Jade's house, Mark assisted her with her things.

" See you tomorrow, Mark! Thanks for driving me home!" Jade gazed at him with a sweet smile on her face.

" I wish we could celebrate our victory tonight but I know that you needed some rest too because of the pressure in the competition. Good work for both of us!" Mark smiled while gazing at her too.

Knowing how Mark behaved like a true gentleman, Jade always felt secure and comfortable with him. They were like a perfect pair of couples but they maintained their relationship as good friendship. Everyone thought they would end up being a couple since they were so close and intimate with each other.

Suddenly, the main door of Jade's house opened. A manly figure appeared from the door.

" Mark...Jade...why don't you both come inside? It's cold out here. " Simon said to both of them. He was the father of Jade and also a doctor in a government hospital.
