''Can we come in?'' I heard Neil ask from the other side of my bedroom door. I was tempted to refuse since the only reason Neil ever came to me was when he had a crisis. And by crisis, I meant that he had no more room left in his closet for clothes. However, against my better judgment I got up from my desk and went to open the door. Neil quickly walked passed me, closely followed by Theresa. I closed the door and turned around to face them. Neil had obviously made himself at home and was now lounging on my bed.

''Comfortable?'' I asked, placing my hands on my hips.

''Very, thank you. We need your help Atlanta, it's an emergency," he replied, kicking off his shoes.

I rolled my eyes and answered, ''With what?''

''You are so ignorant,'' he grumbled. ''Notice anything different with Theresa?'' At the mention of her name, the young fighter did a little spin, then smiled at me hopefully while waiting for my answer.

''Umm, sure I guess, '' I mumbled. The only difference I noticed was that Theresa's hair was tied in a perfect bun and that she was wearing a bit of makeup. I knew that they were waiting for more, obviously they came searching for my opinion on something, I just wasn't sure what. ''It's really pretty, I guess.''

''That's all!'' Neil exclaimed getting off my bed. ''You have nothing else to say?''

''Umm, no. I mean yes! What's the occasion?''

''It's for my big date with Jay tonight!'' She exclaimed excitedly.

''Since when do you have a date with Jay? When did you ask him out?'' I was surprised by this announcement. I knew that my two friends had a thing for each other but I had no clue that it had actually gone somewhere.

''He asked me out last week! He's taking me to that new restaurant that opened up near the library,'' she explained to me.

''We're here to find out what you think of Theresa's makeup and hair. Then, once you approve we'll find an outfit for her to wear,'' Neil finished for her.

''You're asking the wrong person here! I have no sense of fashion!'' I replied laughing. ''You should have gotten a guys opinion on this, would have been better than me.''

''Nonsense Atlanta, you're my best friend and I want your honest opinion on this. Also Herry and Odie are at the movies and I don't want Jay to see me before the date.''

''Love you too Theresa!'' I joked. ''And I guess it's good. It's not too fancy or extreme. Is that a good answer?''

''Good enough!'' Neil stated. ''We must continue getting ready, tootle loo!'' He said grabbing his shoes before walking out of my room.

''What time are you leaving at?'' I asked my friend.

''The dinner reservation is at eight, so probably in thirty minutes,'' she replied making her way out of my room. ''I have to continue getting ready.'' She waved before walking away.

I laughed to myself and closed the door to my bedroom. I was glad Jay had finally gotten enough courage to ask Theresa out. It was extremely obvious that they loved each other, everyone knew it. I think maybe even some of the gods noticed it. I would probably hear all about once Theresa got back, but for now I had to start studying for my physics test which was tomorrow. I settled back down at my desk and buried myself into my notes. This was going to be a long night.

When I couldn't bear to stare at another physics formula and my shoulders were killing me, I got up from my desk and walked around my room, taking the time to stretch all the muscles in my body. I looked over at the alarm clock on my dresser and noticed that it was already 10:15. Time had flown by. Suddenly realising just how tired I was, I exited my room and walked over to the bathroom across the hall. It was right beside Archie's room. His door was closed but the lights were on. I wondered what he was up too? I hesitated in front of his bedroom door, but decided against going in. If he was also studying for the physics test, he definitely didn't need me talking to him. The poor guy needed all the help in the world when it came to science classes. They were another of his Achilles Heels. Instead I walked into the bathroom and brushed my teeth. I needed a good night's sleep before the big test tomorrow. By the time I was settled in my bed, I heard the front door open which was quickly followed by the sound of Odie and Herry's voices. After a while they slowly became muffled as they made their way in the basement to go in their bedrooms.

Archie lounged on his bed with his laptop propped on his legs. He knew he should have been studying for his physics test that was tomorrow. He hadn't studied yet, and he figured he was just going to wing it. Grades didn't really matter to him. As long as he passed the class, life was beautiful. And besides, he had managed to find the three new episodes of Sherlock on Tumblr. He had no clue if that was even legal, but hey! He needed to know what happened to Sherlock after the season 2 finale. All of a sudden, the door of his bedroom burst open and Atlanta staggered into his room. Archie was up on his feet in a matter of seconds, his laptop falling carelessly to the ground.

''Atlanta? Are you okay?'' He asked slowly approaching his friend who seemed to be extremely dazed and confused. She was clutching her side and looked as pale as a sheet.

''Archie...'' She said, stumbling over to him. She tripped over her own foot but was instantaneously caught by her best friend.

Archie suddenly felt something wet, slowly seeping into his clothes. He touched his clothes and brought his fingers up to his face. It was a dark, thick, liquid. She was bleeding and heavily.

''Atlanta! What happened? Are you okay?'' He said lying her on his bed. ''Answer me!'' She wasn't answering, she was unconscious. He quickly grabbed his PMR and called the rest of the gang. ''Guys, help!'' he yelled, looking nervously over at Atlanta.

''Archie? Was is it?'' Jay said nervously over the PMR.

''It's Atlanta! She's hurt.'' He quickly replied, not taking his eyes off of her.

''We're on our way.'' Jay replied, just before Herry and Odie burst into Archie's room.

''What's happened?'' The two asked simultaneously, rushing over to Atlanta's side.

''She's been attacked. We need to get her to the school.''

''Let's go!'' Herry replied springing into action. He went to pick her up bridal style but Odie quickly stopped him.

''Wait! Wrap something around her wound and put pressure on it. It will help slow down the bleeding.''

Archie swiftly removed his signature blue hoodie and wrapped it around her wound. He then proceeded to picking her up and carrying her downstairs. Odie and Herry were right behind him, following Archie out of the Brownstone and into the truck. He placed Atlanta on the back seat and Archie sat beside her. Herry and Odie took the front. They were about to head off when Neil burst out of the door calling out for them to wait up for him. And with that, they were off.
