A/N: I do not own the Jonas Brothers. I can't afford them.

"God damn it," Leigh swore to herself as she flipped through her battered physics textbook, attempting to find some sort of equation that would assist her in finding the final velocity of a rocket shot off at an angle 30 degrees from the ground with an initial velocity of 80 m/s. She had pages of problems to complete for tomorrow, and she had made very little progress in the past hour.

"This is such bullshit," she muttered in frustration, finally deciding to just call a friend for help. While the phone rang, she continued in her fruitless efforts to find a useful equation in her supremely worthless textbook, ripping several pages in the process.

"What's up?" Emma answered on the other line.

"Do you know how to do this bullshit physics homework?" Leigh asked, not wasting any time. She propped the phone between her shoulder and ear while she hastily tried to flatten out the pages she had quasi-destroyed in her irritation.

Emma let out a wry giggle. "No," she confessed. "Wanna go to the library and work on it?"

"Good call," Leigh agreed, feeling the tiniest bit relieved. At least it would be more fun struggling with a friend than struggling with it on her own.



Three hours later, they were still sitting in a study room at the library, now having completed roughly half of the assignment. Leigh finished the equation she was currently working on, then sighed and leaned back in her chair, shaking her blond bangs out of her eyes.

"This better pay off," Emma muttered, taking a break from the endless homework and staring at the wall. She had really taken the words right out of Leigh's mouth. Really, the only reason why Leigh was at the library on a Thursday night, muddling through this mountain of homework instead of sitting at home watching Smallville was so she could get into Brown. The situation was much the same for Emma, although she would happily take any ivy league university or Northwestern.

They just sat in thoughtful silence for a few moments before Leigh finally broke it. "Yeah, I should probably work on applications this weekend," she said, reflecting on all the work she still had to do in addition to her schoolwork. She didn't even enjoy most of the schoolwork. Really, she had only signed up for A.P. Calculus and Honors Physics to look good on applications. It was all just a means to an end.

Suddenly, discussion of weekend plans seemed to remind Emma of something, and she snapped out of her stupor. "Oh, by the way," she began, "My cousin is going to some concert this Saturday, and she has extra tickets. Do you wanna go?"

"What concert?" Leigh asked suspiciously. After all, nothing good was ever free.

"The Jonas Brothers, I think," Emma responded with some uncertainty, laying down her textbook and stretching her arms over her head.

Leigh was pleasantly surprised. She had, in fact, heard of the Jonas Brothers, and she did enjoy their music.

"It's like a boy band," Emma continued, taking Leigh's lack of response to mean that she hadn't heard of the band. "They're big on the Disney Channel. You'll probably be more into them than me."

"This is true," Leigh admitted. Emma typically listened to classical music. It came with wanting to major in music performance. "Actually, I like the Jonas Brothers," Leigh confessed. "Why does she have extra tickets?"

"I don't know." Emma shrugged. "I think she was going to go with a couple of her friends, but they dropped out because they're going out of town for a volleyball competition. So do you wanna go then?"

Leigh thought for a moment, chewing her lip nervously. On the one hand, college application deadlines were coming up, and she really should be working on that. She had been working up to those applications for the past few years. She didn't want to blow her chance at acceptance to an elite university just because of a shoddy application. But on the other hand, she felt she deserved 

a break. She would just have to be extra-industrious on Sunday to make up for it. Plus, it was free. A very tempting proposition.

"Come on. Please go," Emma prodded, her grey eyes pleading with Leigh to accept the offer. "It'll be more fun."

"I suppose one unproductive night couldn't really hurt," Leigh reasoned, coming around. Emma continued to smile at her hopefully. "Yeah, I guess I'll go."

Having resolved that issue, she flipped a page in her lab notebook and continued with the next equation. "I'll think of it as a reward for getting through this stack of shit."

Emma groaned and commenced reading the next problem from the book, something about the angle of water spit from a fish's mouth to hit a bug on a leaf overhanging the pond. As the girls continued to push through the incomprehensible drudgery that was their physics homework, they felt their minds wandering to thoughts of the concert. It would be nice to relax for a change.

A/N: This is my first fanfic. Please review. On a scale of one to happy, it would make me happy.
