Ever since I saw the Lady and the Tramp reference in the promos I've had this idea. But I'm not sure how I want to go with it and I'm not even sure this is how I wanted to go with it (I mostly improvise when I write). So hope it's to your liking. Oh by the way…if you don't like femslash don't read this.

Disclaimer: if I owned Shake It Up would I be doing this?

If someone had told me who I would fall for I would have never believed them. I would've laughed it off. But somewhere along the years I found myself falling for my best friend Rocky. Not that I'd ever tell her.

It wasn't that I was scared to tell her. Ok that is what it was. If I told her there were many different things that could happen: she could laugh at me, thinking I'm kidding. She could get freaked out and I'd lose my best friend. Then there's the impossible outcome: she'd tell me she felt the same and kiss me. Ha. Yeah right.

We almost did kiss though. At the Olive Pit. It was after Ty chased after his date when I put a roach on the table and it ended up on her shoulder. Then Deuce fled like a little girl when the roach landed on him. While trying to finish a meal to get our meal for free, since we couldn't pay, Rocky and I had unknowingly tried to eat the same noodle.

Except it wasn't so unknown on my part. I saw it a few moments before Rocky and contemplated on my options. I could say nothing and let it happen. At least I would've finally felt her lips on mine. But then I thought: her mouth full of food, lips tasting like food and smelling like food. And not just food, but meat from meatballs. Not something I wanna try.

That was yesterday. Today she wanted me to go to the mall with her. Why you ask? To browse for cell phones. Of course we have no money to pay for them. We'll have to buy them next week. If we don't spend our money again.

Anyway I told her I'd go with her and here we are, looking at the phones. It's very difficult to look at cell phones and not be able to buy one.

"Oh oh I like that sliding one!" Rocky said, pointing at said phone. It was pink with blue stripes on the bottom and came up to the side.

"Yeah until you slid it so much that the slider slides right off." I said, realizing that sentence had to many "slides".

She turned to me with a look of mock hurt on her face, "So you're saying I'll get overzealous and break it?"

After a moment of false thinking I nodded, "Yep pretty much."

She nodded and then shrugged, "I probably would."

"Besides we have to look at prices too, not just what the phone is." I told her.

Rocky groaned. "But we've been waiting forever!"

"I know but would u rather wait a few more weeks saving up the cash to score a super expensive phone that's just going to break on us or would you rather get a phone sooner, but still has the possibility of breaking on us. Because honestly I'm tired of waiting."

"Since when did you get so smart?" Rocky gave me a look.

I smiled at her. "I've always been this smart, but I just like making people think I don't know I know so much." She grinned at me and I felt my stomach flutter. Why does her smile have to be so frigging cute!

She noticed my uneasiness and asked, "CeCe, are you okay?"

I nodded a little too quickly. "Course I am. Why wouldn't I be?'

My unrequited lover crossed her arms and looked down at me. "I can tell something's up. If you don't want to tell me that's fine but you can just tell me that you don't want to talk about it." Rocky put on a tough face, but her voice betrayed her. There was a hint of hurt in her voice. Then she turned away. My heart crumbled at the fact that I hurt her.

"Rock." she didn't answer so I turned her head to me. "Rocky it's not that I don't want to tell you. I just…" I looked around the room. There weren't to many people here, but it was more then I wanted. If I was going to tell her it was going to be just me and her. "Not here okay? C'mon." I grabbed her hand and pulled her out of the store. I didn't stop dragging her until we were out of the mall and in the park. Luckily no one was there so I walked her to the swing set. I faintly heard her say "Ow wrist. Ow wrist."

I let her go and looked at her. She had a confused look in her eye. If I wasn't so nervous I would've stared at them for awhile. I haven't been this nervous since I froze at the auditions for Shake It Up Chicago. And that was even less then how I felt now.

"Ceece." Rocky looked at me seriously, using my pet name she gave me. "Talk to me. What's wrong?"

I looked up at her and felt myself crumbling. She's the only person to ever make me crumble. To ever make me this nervous. She's the only person I'd do absolutely anything for and I'm about to ruin our friendship, in a good way or bad it's undetermined.

The only reason I knew I had to tell her was that she'd caught me before. Looking at her like I was hiding something. She'd asked before but then I'd refused to tell her. She'd gotten upset and went home and I felt like a total bitch (excuse my language but that's the best description of how I felt). After a few days she got over it, but I still felt awful. I couldn't make her feel that way again. When she'd left that day she'd looked so hurt. She was close to tears then. If I didn't tell her now she'd get that way again. Or worse.

After a moment of chewing my lip, I took a deep breath and looked up at her. "I love you."

She looked at me for a few minutes then smiled. "That's all? CeCe you're my best friend I know you love me and you know I love you too."

And just my luck. She took it wrong. Finally tell her and she thinks I mean as friends. "No Rocky. I mean I really love you. Like love, love."

She furrowed her eyebrows as she frowned, obviously confused. "Wait you- you love me?"

I nodded and looked down letting my hair fall in front of my eyes so she couldn't see the tears that I knew would come when she turned me down. "Yeah. I have for awhile. But I was scared to tell you. I thought it'd ruin our friendship or that you'd turn me down." I slumped into a nearby swing and stared at the sand.

I heard her take a step back, probably from shock. She was quiet for a good five minutes before she said anything. "Ceece I.."

Slowly I looked up at her through my hair.
