Everyone has secrets including Chloe Hart and one of them was that she had an old ice skating partner who she went to the finals with when she was thirteen and they won but then he moved away and she never saw him again until "Chloe Hart! Thank you for coming to judge this years ice skating competition it means the world to all of us." The woman hosting it came up to her as Chloe held her skates in her hand "no problem, Dont get me wrong I enjoy playing hockey but skating on the ice is just so different." She told her as they kept walking.

"Oh and here's umm.." the woman forgot his name but Chloe was already mesmerized by the way the guy looked from behind she stopped listening as the guy turned around and both of them knocked into each other falling to the ground, laughing "oh my gosh, I'm sorry." Chloe told him as the guy moved his hair out of his face "it's okay, I'm..no way! Chloe!" The boy on top of her told her as Chloe furrowed her brows.

"Umm, are you a fan or.." she asked confused on how he knew her and by first name as the boy got up, reaching his hand down in which Chloe took it as the two stood looking at each other "oh, of course, you forgot, it's me Dean!" Dean told her as Chloes jaw dropped "oh my gosh! I can't believe your here! How are you!" She asked hugging him as Dean hugged back "I'm good, everything's good, still a basketball star but I heard a lot about you even still to this day." He told her as they started walking and Chloe shook her head "see that's what happens when your a star since you were basically born." She told him as they started to laugh.

"So, you wanna show the newbies how it's done?" Dean asked as Chloe shook her head "it's been a while, since I've danced on ice" she told him "just put on your skates and follow my lead." Dean told her and as Chloe did so, she didn't notice that Dean pointed to the DJ, who was ready to play a track as Chloe then walked up to him "okay, now what?" She asked as Dean took her hand.

"Like old times, just follow me onto the ice." He told her but then Chloe heard music playing as she laughed "you totally set this up!" She told him as Dean shook his head "I don't know what your talking about?" He joked as he then started singing.

"Follow me into my world

Let your worries fade with every

Step you take

They started off with easy steps just skating with each other.

Baby whatcha' waiting for

Let the tango take control

Feel the music inside your soul (Oh)

My hand is out, just grab a hold

Then they began pulling each other in and out coming back together in the middle as Dean kept smiling at her and Chloe couldn't help but smile back.

Watch time fade away

My arms will keep you safe

It's just you and me

Dancing in this dream

They kept looking back and forth at each other as they separated skating away from each other as Chloe did a spin as Dean came up to her and they began dancing again.

Whatever you do, don't wake me up

The feeling's real won't let it

Stop, no

Don't be afraid, take my hand

Forget the world

Will you dance, dance with me

Dean then spun her as she landed back in his arms.

Podemos bailar eternamente

Trust in me, take a chance

Feel the Tango

When you dance, dance with me

Podemos bailar eternamente

Now I have you next to me

Chloe then leaned into him as they gazed into each other's eyes.

Everything is how it should be (ooh yeah)

Baby, don't fight the feeling

We're floating on the clouds

If I could, I'd never come back down (no no)

Baby just keep on groovin' groovin'

As time fades away

He then picked her up spinning her around as a crowd of people watched them since they were coming to practice for the competition and what Chloe didn't know was that Kendall and Camille were there "wow, she's still got it." Camille said as Kendall looked at her confused "what who?" He asked as Camille laughed "Chloe, figure skate champion at thirteen and oh my gosh, that must be her partner Dean who moved away and is totally smoking hot and has the hots for Chloe." Camille said as they continued to watch "yeah, right." Kendall told her laughing.

My arms will keep you safe

It's just you and me

Dancing in this dream

WHatever you do, don't wake me up

The feeling's real, won't let it

Stop, no

Don't be afraid, take my hand

Forget the world

Will you dance, dance with me

Podemos bailar eternamente

Trust in me, take a chance

Feel the Tango

When you dance, dance with me

Podemos bailar eternamente

Dance with me

He then picked up Chloe and started spinning her around.

(I'm dancing with you)

For this moment in time

(My dreams have come true)

My darling just dance with me

Then he put her back down as they looked right at each other as he dipped her and then she came back up and they began spinning as Chloe held her one leg out.

If only one night

Then it was only instrumental as Chloe and Dean danced together some more gazing into each others eyes as he began to sing again.

Don't be afraid, take my hand

Forget the world

Will you dance, dance with me

Podemos bailar eternamente

Trust in me, take a chance

Feel the Tango

When you dance, dance with me

Podemos bailar eternamente

He then dipped her at the end as there faces were close together and the whole room started clapping as they stood straight up "well, that was fun." Chloe told him as they began skating off the ice "yeah, maybe we could dance again without being on the ice." Dean asked her as Chloe raised her eyebrows as they got off and others go on "are you asking me on a date?" Chloe asked as Dean smirked at her "possibly, if you don't have a boyfriend or anything." He told her laughing as Chloe did as well and she went to push a piece of hair that fell out of her ponytail behind her ear but Dean beat her to it.

"Yes, we can do this, again, and no, I don't have a boyfriend." Chloe told him smiling "great, so, I'll see you at the Palm Woods later?" Dean asked as Chloe nodded her head "yep, see you there." She told him as Dean then walked away as Chloe cheered and headed off to change out of her skates and unknowing to her Kendall saw the whole thing.

"She's going out with him!" Kendall yelled as Camille began to laugh "what's wrong with that? Like, she said there's no boyfriend and the only guy she's ever really been with was Dak which was a one day thing and James who tricked her into kissing him. And then Bobby which wasn't even a real date." Camille told him as Kendall turned to her "so, that doesn't mean she can go out with him." Kendall told her as Camille began to sense jealousy.

"Is somebody jealous?" She asked as she smiled and Kendall shook his head "pfft, no, she's my best friend, I'm just looking out for her." He told her as Camille raised her eyebrows "okay then, So, if I get you the details on there date.." she began but got cut off "it's not a date, there just seeing each other later." Kendall told her as Camille rolled her eyes "never mind then let's just practice." She told him pulling him onto the ice.

It was now night as Dean waIted in the lobby for Chloe, Kendall and Camille were wearing tree hats and spying on him "you know, you could just go talk to him, he's probably a really nice guy." Camille tried to tell him as Chloe finally came down walking up to him "ready to go." She told Dean as he looked at her "let me just say you look amazing." Dean told her and Chloe did her little laugh as Kendall's jaw dropped as they walked off.

"That laugh is usually used on me." Kendall said as he pulled Camille out of the bushes watching them head off "what are you gonna do? Follow them all night, so you can see if he makes a move then ruin it if he tries anything?" Camille asked laughing as Kendall seemed to actually think about it and then began running off after them pulling Camille with him.

Where Kendall had watched the two play mini golf, eat ice cream together in separate bowls, and is now spying on them as they just sat on a bench in Palm Woods park where everything seemed to be normal "see, I told you, there just old friends catching up." Camille told him as Kendall started to realize that he was being crazy "your right, and.." he was telling her but then out of the corner of his eye he saw Dean do the yawn arm over the shoulder thing "ah ha, see, he just put his arm around her shoulder!" He told Camille as the girls eyes were wide.

"It's not like, he's gonna kiss her." Camille told him and right before there eyes they saw Dean look to Chloe and Chloe look to Dean and lean in as Kendall looked around for anything to stop it, Camille tried to stop him as Kendall grabbed a gardening hose and got ready to spray the two "Kendall! Kendall don't!" Camille begged but Kendall put his hand on the trigger.

"Oh my god!" Chloe screamed as she held her hands up and her and Dean separated as they were now soaking wet, both were moving there hair out of there face "who did that?" Dean asked as him and Chloe looked around "I don't know." Chloe told him and that's when Dean saw Camille trying to take the hose out of Kendall's hand "and whose that?" He asked, pointing as Chloe turned into the direction he was and saw the pair and sighed.

"That is two of my friends Kendall and Camille." She told him as she threw her hands up as the two ran over or more so Kendall as Camille trailed behind "best friend actually, names Kendall, and you are?" He asked as both boys looked to Chloe "Kendall this is Dean, Dean this is Kendall." Chloe told them as the boys then looked at each other having a staring contest.

"She's never told me about you." Kendall told him, smirking as Dean nodded his head "yeah, well, I moved away, so there's not much to tell but she didn't mention you either." Dean told him as Chloe could see where this was headed as the guys stepped towards each other "um, okay, maybe let's tone it down a bit guy's?" Chloe asked as they were still staring each other down.

"You've been following us around all night." Dean told him as he turned to Chloe who was surprised "why would you?" She asked, looking to Kendall as Dean looked to Kendall "because he's jealous." He told them as he began to laugh "no, no, no, he's my best friend." Chloe told him as she started to laugh "and besides he just lost his girlfriend to New Zealand and hasn't dated anyone since so why would he be jealous of me going out with you?" She asked as she looked to Dean.

"Ask him." Dean told her, motioning to Kendall as he started to walk away "Dean!" Chloe called out but the boy didn't even turn around "I'll see you tomorrow at the completion." Dean told her and disappeared into the darkness as Chloe turned to Kendall "what is wrong with you?" She asked as Kendall looked at her, Camille was hiding not wanting to be a part of this.

"Chloe, he.." Kendall began but Chloe cut him off "he what? He liked me and you just couldn't handle somebody else liking me but when it happens to you? I decide we need space and let you have a relationship." She told him as she shook her head, backing away "Chloe, it's not like that!" Kendall told her as Chloe laughed.

"I thought we were okay? Past all of whatever this is?" She asked as she motioned between them "but can't you see that whatever this is between us is not going away?" Kendall asked her as Chloe looked at him "I.." she wanted to say it so badly but she was afraid, so, she went the other direction "I need to go." She told him as she turned walking away.

"Chloe, don't go!" Kendall yelled as he watched her disappear as Camille walked up "she wanted to say it but she couldn't, and from what I've seen all day from you, you better tell her tomorrow." Camille told him as they both headed off.

Know matter how many phone calls Chloe got from either Dean or Kendall she never answered her phone, she just wanted this competition over so everything could go back to normal as she started strumming on her guitar.

"Maybe it's the things I say

Maybe I should think before I speak

But I thought that I knew enough

To know myself and do what's right for me

And these walls I'm buildin' now

You used to bring 'em down

And the tears I'm cryin' out

You used to wipe away

I thought you said it was easy

Listenin' to your heart

I thought you said I'd be okay

So why am I breakin' apart?

Don't wanna be torn

Don't wanna be torn

Don't wanna be torn

Don't wanna be torn

Don't make me have to choose between

What I want and what you think I need

'Cause I'll always be your little girl

But even little girls have got to dream

Now it all feels like a fight

You were always on my side

And though lonely I feel now

You used to make it go away

I thought you said it was easy

Listenin' to your heart

I thought you said I'd be okay

So why am I breaking apart?

Don't wanna be torn

Why is all this so confusing

Complicated and consuming?

Why does all this make me angry

I wanna go back to being happy

Then the phone rang again and it was Kendall and he left a voicemail as she chose to listen to it "hey, it's me, I've called probably a dozen times now but I just needed to let you know that I'll be at the ice completion with Camille." That's all that message said as it timed out and Chloe was wondering if that's really what he wanted to say.

The tears I'm crying out

You used to wipe away, yeah

I thought you said it was easy

Listenin' to your heart

I thought you said I'd be okay

So why am I breakin' apart?

Don't wanna be torn

Don't wanna be torn

Don't wanna be torn

Don't wanna be torn

Don't wanna be torn

Don't wanna be torn

Don't wanna be torn

Don't wanna be torn

Now at the ice rink she was sitting at the judges table and she was really nervous for Kendall and Camille as Dean and her sat next to each other "So, let me guess, you chose him?" Dean asked her as Chloe just stared forward "yep. And I always will." She told him as the announcer called out Kendall and Camille and then it went down hill from there as everyone's jaws at the judges table dropped "no, no, not the death spiral!" Chloe yelled as it all then ended as she looked away shielding her eyes.

They were all sitting in Lucy's apartment again as Chloe sat between Kendall who had crutches and Camille was was all bandaged up "wow, you were awful." James told him as Chloe looked at him "he was." Logan told him as Chloe rolled her eyes as Kendall looked to Lucy "yeah, really bad." She told him.

"Now I know why they call it a death spiral." Carlos told them as he went to smack Kendall's leg "no, no!" Chloe yelled trying to stop him as he hit it "okay, we tried it, it's over. And Camilles jaw is healing right?" Kendall asked as they all looked to her as Camille grunted "it's okay, besides everything's back to normal Deans gone, I understand now why I stopped figure skating and.." Chloe told them as she looked towards Kendall who already was looking at her.

"Okay, let's just play a simple non violent game of truth or dare." Logan told them as everyone agreed as they spun the wheel landing on Carlos "oh, it's me." He told them "okay, Carlos, truth or dare?" Lucy asked as Chloe leaned towards Kendall "this is probably gonna be really bad." She told him as he laughed "yeah." He told her as they just looked at each other once more "you know, Chloe?" Kendall began "yeah?" But before he could tell her.

"Truth." Carlos told them and soon they were all running after him in the lobby or at least everyone except Kendall and Camille who were more hopping after him "your going down." Kendall told him as Chloe shook her head "see this is why we shouldn't play games anymore." She told him as they headed after the others.
