Hey, Hi, and Hello Readers! Read, review, and enjoy!

I was walking the streets of New York, eating a corn dog. I had just left my friend's apartment and was heading on a bus back to Boston. I was showing off my cool ninja moves to anyone who was looking by jumping over the cracks in the sidewalk. While I was looking down, I saw a five dollar bill , I picked it up, excited over my find. I was trying to put it in my backpack, so I wasn't really looking where I was going. When I finally looked up, I walked straight into someone else.

"Watch it!" she screamed.

I apologized, recognizing the voice. My heart was beating out of my chest as I lifted my head up to see her face.

"Hey. Sorry about that. Hi," I said stupidly.

She looked confused for a moment, then recognized me. She smiled and replied, "Hello."

My pathetic attempt of a conversation dwindled into nothing. I was afraid this would happen. I didn't want have an awkward silence on my hands, and I did not want to stop talking to her. I couldn't stop looking at that perfect face. I needed to think of something, and fast. I took a deep breath and looked at my surroundings, taking another brave stab at a conversation.

"So, how 'bout that weather?" I said.

She looked confused. Well, of course she looked confused, you idiot!, I thought to myself. You run into her in New York and start rambling on about the dreary weather! Who wouldn't be confused? You're confused!

I looked around once more, finding something that I may be able to redeem myself with. Just maybe.

"So, you like the Ravens." Never mind, maybe I can't redeem myself.

Great observation, Captain Obvious. Of course she likes the Ravens. She was only wearing a Ravens Hat and Jersey.

"No, actually. My brother's friends, or people who he pretends to like, made me wear it. It's killing me! I hope nobody sees me! So, is this conversation going anywhere, Daniel?"

"Um, well, erm..." I tried to think of a good lie. "Amy is having a sleepover party. She wanted me to invite you. All the other girls are coming, too."

"A sleepover?" she asked lamely.

"Yeah! This Friday, at seven, to Saturday, at twelve," I said. Whoa, where is that coming from? Well, while I'm sabotaging myself, I might as well go all out. "Yeah and tell your brother to come to my sleepover! It's on the same night!"

She said something else, but I didn't hear her because I was too busy staring at her perfect face. I tried to bring myself back to reality, zoning in just in time to hear her say, "Kay, gotta go! Anything else, Daniel?"

I love you much! "No, that's it. See ya on Friday!"

I let her walk away. Then I ran back to the main road to grab a bus to go home.

{Epic Page Break}

As I walked in, I yelled to no one particular, "I'm home!"

"I'm in the library!" Of course she was. Why would I think anything different?

As I walked to the library, I threw my school bag down in the hallway. The maid would get it and I would find it later in my room, where it was supposed to go. I only hoped Amy wouldn't find it and start yelling at me. I stood there contemplating whether or not I should put it away. I decided that I need to get on Amy's good side, so I took it to my room.

{Epic Page Break!}

"Hey, Dweeb. What took so long? I was starting to think that the huge pile of dirty socks in your room came to life and ate you," Amy joked. I pretended to laugh.

"Amy, I need your advice." I thought I would regret it as soon as the words came out of my mouth. I thought she would laugh at me. Instead, she looked shocked. After she recovered, she began scanning me as if she was looking to see if I had an illness. I probably did.

"What do you need?" she asked hesitantly.

"Um, well." I took a deep breath, "There is this girl that I sort of like," I admitted. Amy smiled. Girls. I would never understand them. Why was she so happy? This was horrible! A ninja lord shouldn't be falling for a mere mortal girl! Unacceptable!

"Who?"

"Never mind that. I wanted to ask you to show me how to get a girl's attention."

Her face fell. "Dan, I don't pretend to know everything about relationships," she said. She didn't pretend to know anything at all! She's never had a steady boyfriend, other than Cobra. I decided not to say this, because I still wanted to get on Amy's good side. And I knew she would deny it, anyway.

"Oh. Well, I could always send in an entry to Girls' Life Magazine," I joked.

"How do you know I read Girls' Life? Have you been going through my room?" She started to panic. Well, well, what do we have here? New blackmail material? I pretended to act like I already knew this. Truthfully, I was just joking.

"You should be getting ready for your sleepover on Friday."

Now, Amy looked irritated. "What sleepover?" she snapped.

"The one where the Dolt girls, Cobra Queen, and Sinead are coming over. And the one where I am having Wiz, Physicists, King Cobra and The Hammer over."

I ran before Amy could throw a book at me (that Deathly Hallows book looked pretty hard), but I did hear her scream, "Daniel!"

Who ever can guess correctly who the girl of Dan dreams are will get awesome points (Abb. AP)! First place will get 100AP, Second will get 50AP and Third will get 25AP.
