Chapter 1: Haven't you heard?
Amara stood on the balcony watching the sky, the cold wind blowing past her face. "What is it?" Michelle said.
"Something's coming."
Serena sat in the game arcade, arms crossed, sulking.
"Oh come on, Serena," Mina said, "just one more race."
"No. That's the fifth time you've beat me on that dumb driving game today."
"Please, for me?" Mina fluttered her eyelashes.
"No."
"Please."
"No."
"Come on."
"No."
"Okay."
"Yes- wait, what?"
"Thanks Serena, you're a pal!"
"Don't mention it." She said sarcastically.
Mina started up the game. The screen flashed, 3, 2, 1, GO!
Mina and Serena both jammed their feet down on the pedal and clutched the steering wheel. Mina's car zoomed past Serena. "Yes!" she cheered.
"Waaaaahhh!" Serena's car spiraled out of control.
"Yeah! I win again!" Mina celebrated.
"And that is precisely the reason I did not want to race you again."
"Sure, sure, sure. Okay let's go have another go!"
Serena sighed. Mina was really hard to stand when she was on a winning streak.
"You know, maybe we should stop and get something to eat. Right?"
"Typical meatball head." Mina said. "Okay, let's go then."
Serena and Serena walked into the cafe near the arcade where their friend Andrew's sister, Elizabeth worked.
"Hey Elizabeth!" Serena chirped.
"Hi guys." Elizabeth replied.
"Guess what Lizzy?" Mina said. "Yours truly just totally thrashed Serena at the arcade!"
"Alright Mina, you don't have to announce it to the whole world."
"What? Then how will everyone know how great I am?"
Serena and Elizabeth sweat dropped.
Mina and Serena sat down at their usual table in the corner.
"So, what can I get you guys, your usual?"
"Sure."
"Yep."
A few minutes later Elizabeth came back with their drinks and they thanked her.
"So, Serena, all set for Lita's sleepover tonight?" Mina asked.
"You bet! She's gonna make us her yummy chocolate chip cookies and-"
Serena stopped. She looked over to a group of girls laughing and screaming in the corner. Mina was looking too.
"What's up with them?" Serena asked Elizabeth as she walked past.
"Haven't you heard?" she asked.
"Heard what?" Mina questioned.
"It's all over town. The amazing, cute boy band, Three Lights has announced they're getting back together!"
Mina and Serena were speechless.
