My first multi-chaptered fic! Updates will not be that fast, since this is finals week. So, I apologize if I don't update often. Enjoy!
Amber was squealing very loud from the common room, at 7.30 a.m on a Saturday.
"EVERYONE! I HAVE THE BEST ANNOUNCEMENT EVER! GET IN THE COMMON ROOM NOW!"
Everyone groaned as they went inside the common room.
"What is it Amber?" Patricia groaned.
"Why would you squeal that loud on a Saturday? And why aren't you asleep? You're one of the heaviest sleepers!" Eddie complained.
"Amber, it's a Saturday, I need to sleep now, and I don't wake up until noon." Alfie moaned.
"Everyone! Quit your complaining and hear me out! Mr. Sweet allowed me to do another dance!"
"Why would we need another dance, we have had 3 dances so far in 2 terms. What other occasions are there?" Fabian asked.
"Well, let's see, oh yeah, the school's anniversary."
"Which is not until a couple of months Amber, and how did Mr. Sweet agree to another dance? The end-of-exhibition party ended just a few months ago." Nina asked.
"He said that we're allowed to do another dance as long as we: 1. Don't mess it up. 2. Do everything in order. Maybe we can write it in the website?"
"What is there to write for the dance?" Joy asked, Mara nodding along.
"How we prepare, what happened during preparations, I guess- Oh yeah! I know! Nominations!"
"For what? Nominate who? It's not prom, Amber." Jerome stated.
"How about we do a show, you know like a talent show. To entertain, they can sing, dance, and all that." Mick suggested.
"That's a great idea Mick!" Amber squealed, "I'll talk to Mr. Sweet, if he agrees, I'll set the teams, and also sign-up sheets for the show. That's all, you can go back to sleep."
"Amber, we're not that sleepy anymore, other than your boyfriend and Jerome over there." Patricia stated, pointing over to Alfie and Jerome, who was already asleep on the couch.
"Alright, just do whatever you want. And Eddie, could you help me persuade Mr. Sweet to do the dance? I don't think he's that sure yet, about the dance." Amber said.
"Yeah, sure, maybe, I don't know. I think persuading him is simple, Amber. But, sure. I'll help." Eddie replied, before going back to his room.
AT MR. SWEET'S OFFICE…
"Hey Dad? Can we really do the dance?" Eddie asked, entering his father's office.
"I believe I told Ms. Millington that the dance was allowed. What would the dance be like?"
"Well, Amber hasn't discussed it yet with the rest of the house, but we were thinking of holding like a talent show to entertain the audience, and we can nominate winners at the end."
"Well that's a pleasant idea. We haven't had a talent show in years. I approve of the idea, as long as you organize it well."
"Of course. Bye Dad! And thanks!" Eddie exclaimed before rushing out the door.
BACK AT ANUBIS HOUSE…
"Hey guys! Sweetie said yes!" Eddie exclaimed, rushing to the dining room, stopping behind Patricia, and put his hand on her shoulder. Patricia choked on the orange juice she was drinking, and glared at him.
"Don't startle me like that, Weasel!"
"Sorry Yacker, didn't mean to." Eddie smirked.
"Sweetie said yes? Really? YAY! NOW WE CAN PREPARE! I'LL SET THE TEAMS! IN AN HOUR, EVERYONE SHOULD BE IN THE COMMON ROOM!" Amber squealed, rather loudly. Everyone groaned, and went back to their respective conversations.
AN HOUR LATER…
Everyone was already scattered around the common room. Eddie and Patricia shared the loveseat, Joy, Mick, and Alfie was squashed at the other couch. Nina, Fabian, Mara and Jerome shared the smaller chairs, Nina on Fabian's lap, Mara on Jerome's lap.
"Everyone here?" Amber exclaimed.
"Yes, Amber, everyone's here." Eddie groaned.
"Alrighty then! Everyone! The theme of the dance?"
"Hollywood style?" Nina asked.
"Does that mean I have to wear a long, sparkly dress?" Patricia groaned.
"I think so Patricia. But I'm the same as Patricia. I don't wanna wear the long dresses." Joy stated.
"But I want to!" Amber whined.
"Amber! How about casual glam?" Mara suggested.
"Well, boys don't have to wear tuxes right?" Eddie stated.
"Yeah, that's right. Casual glam means, only dress shirts." Fabian said.
"Alright then. Casual glam it is." Amber said, typing on her iPad.
"How about the talent show?" Jerome asked.
"Well, I already provided sign up sheets. Auditions in 2 weeks. Enough time?" Amber asked. There was a chorus of 'yes' and 'sure'.
"Now, for the preparation teams. Eddie, Patricia, music!" Eddie high-fived Patricia, knowing that the section was their specialty.
"Nina, Joy, Mara, decorations! Joy, you're in charge of blogging too, alright?" Amber asked.
"Sure Amber!" Joy exclaimed.
"Alfie and Mick, I can't believe I'm saying this, foods and beverages!" The room was filled with groans, except Alfie and Mick, who cheered and high-fived each other.
"Fabian and Jerome, equipments!"
"How about you Amber?" Mara asked.
"I'm handling the auditions with Ms. Valentine and Mr. Sweet."
"Alright then, it's settled! Let's get these preparations on the workings!" Nina said.
"Wait! Alfie, Mick, don't you dare only order bananas and spaghetti!" Amber said, followed by roars of laughter, loudest from Jerome, Eddie, and Patricia. After everyone calmed down, they went with their respective partners to prepare the dance.
MUSIC AREA…
"So, what do you think the music should be?" Eddie asked, entering his and Fabian's room, Patricia trailing behind.
"Well, it is casual glam, maybe, you know, pop rock? I know Amber will hate metal bands."
"Yeah, it's a shame. Well, what bands you know, have that?"
"That, is simple, oh boyfriend of mine. Thanks to my lovely twin sister, Piper, apparently she can help during those times. Good enough?"
"1. Nice old English accent. 2. Sure. That's good enough. 3. Make sure that you guys wear different outfits, unless you want me to smackaroo with Piper again." Eddie stated, earning a smack on the arm from Patricia.
"OW! What was that for!"
"No time for joking, Weasel! Unless you want to miss our date to town!" Patricia exclaimed.
"Alright, alright. You go give a holler to your twin sister, then prepare. Alright?"
"Alright, bye Krueger. See you in a couple of hours."
First chapter done! Second chapter will be up in either a few hours, or next week. I'm packed! Review please! BYE!
