"Oh my GOD, this is HUGE!" Sahari squealed, picking up her chocolate milkshake. Leafos squealed after Sahari did.
"I know! Nothing like this has ever happened in this village in such a long time!" Leafos said. Arfur chuckled to himself, cleaning the dishes as the group of girls rambled on. Only Maxime and Maddie were quiet.
"Oh my God, I really hope I get asked to go!" Leafos said dreamily, stirring her straw around. Sahari and Seiko giggled.
"Of course we know who you WANT to go with!" Seiko said, taking a sip of her milkshake. Leafos's cheeks turned a little pink.
"Oh, like he will. Patch probably isn't interested in me." Leafos said a bit sadly. Seiko and Sahari gave her a weird look.
"Why wouldn't he? Hasn't he taken you to lunch before?" Sahari asked. Leafos shrugged.
"It's been weeks since then... I think it was all just a pity date after that... experience with that Ruffian..." Leafos said sadly, slumping in her seat a little bit. Sahari placed a hand on her shoulder.
"I am so sorry."
"Oh God, are you even listening to yourselves?" Maddie groaned loudly. Sahari, Seiko and Leafos looked at the Builder girl in surprise.
"What?" They asked in unison. Maxime groaned.
"We JUST heard about this so called 'Pinata Ball' and your already acting like a bunch of stupid fangirls!" She said, taking her straw out of her cup and licked it. Leafos tried not to make a face.
"We're just excited is all! Come on, like you two don't want to go." Sahari said in disbelief. Maddie rolled her eyes and put on a fake smile.
"Yeah! Because I really want to spend my weekends putting on LOADS of make-up and wearing FRILLY DRESSES that are uncomfortable, and then I TOTALLY want to win the title of the Ball QUEEN and wear a TIARA-"
"OH MY GOD THERE'S GONNA BE A TIARA?" Sahari squealed out of no where. All eyes, even Arfur's, fell onto her and stared. Sahari blushed a bit.
"Uh, not that I care or anything..." She said, turning her head and taking a deep swig of her milkshake. Leafos turned to Maddie.
"Well, your only making it sound bad! Why don't you just come? You can see what it's all about?" She said hopefully. Maddie pursed her lips together.
"I will... Only if Maxime goes with me."
"Huh?" Maxime said, putting her milkshake down. Maddie smirked.
"Yup."
"I am NOT going to this thing!"
"Yes you will."
"No I won't."
"Yes you will."
"No I won't."
"GUYS!" Sahari shouted. Maxime and Maddie shut their mouths and looked over at the rest of them.
"It doesn't have to be decided yet you know! We have three weeks!" Sahari pointed out. Seiko nodded.
"Yeah, three weeks to find a date and get a dress!"
"And dress you pinata." Leafos said, looking at the flyer. Seiko looked at her funny.
"Huh?"
"Y-you have t-to bring a p-pinata w-with you?" Patch asked, a little confused. Dustin nodded, reading on in the flyer his uncle left.
"That's kinda odd..." Sparcticus muttered. Dustin shrugged.
"It may be odd, but it's the Pinata Ball! Which I don't understand why it's a ball since ball's are for losers..." Dustin muttered. Unfortunately for him, Bart had been walking by at that moment.
"Losers huh? Maybe that's why you were so excited to be the Queen." Bart teased, chuckling to himself at his joke. Dustin rolled his eyes.
"Oh come on! Wouldn't you want to be crowned Queen of the village?"
"No. I'd rather be King, like a real man would want too."
"Oh, then we had better give the title to Gretchen then!" Dustin said, slapping his knee and laughing. Bart's eyes darkened, and he grabbed the back of the boy's collar and forced him to turn around. Dustin's eyes widened at the sudden outlash.
"You listen here my boy, and you listen good," Bart growled, "Gretchen is the most beautiful woman in this village, and has won Miss Pinata two years in a row, so I'd think twice before calling her a man! Do you understand me?" Dustin let out a squeak and nodded quickly. Bart relaxed and released him.
"Now then... Are the rest of you going to ask someone special to the ball?" Bart asked happily, looking at the rest of them while Dustin hid behind Sparcticus.
"I don't know... Sahari still won't talk to me all that much..." The Eskimo said sadly. Dustin shrugged behind him.
"Well, you did get really drunk and then you tried to kiss her in front of all her friends. That could make a girl kinda irritated with you." He pointed out. Sparcticus elbowed him, making Dustin fall onto the ground.
"I-I'm sure sh-she will c-come around Sp-Sparcticus." Patch said in a hopeful tone. Sparcticus only grunted, as if he wasn't sure if that was going to happen. Bart looked around, his face a little surprised.
"Lizard boy isn't with you guys?" He examined. Dustin huffed.
"No, and that's a good thing. The last thing we need is him here-"
"Hey guys!"
"GOD DAMMIT!" Dustin shouted as Eddie was hurrying by. Eddie stopped by the group, looking at them all.
"... What are you guys meeting up about?" He asked. Dustin glared at him.
"We started a gay club. What else would it be?" He said. Sparcticus turned, glaring at him, making Dustin cower a bit. Eddie raised a brow in confusion.
"W-We are t-talking a-about the P-Pinata Ball." Patch answered. Eddie's eyes widened.
"The Pinata what?" He asked, stepping forward. Patch handed Eddie one of the flyers for him to read. Eddie smiled widely as his eyes skimmed over it.
"Oh my God, I can't believe this! This is amazing!" Eddie said excitedly, reading the rest of it. He frowned a little.
"Bring a Pinata?" he asked. They shrugged.
"It sounds kinda weird." Sparcticus said, crossing his arms. Eddie shrugged.
"Oh well. Are you guys going to ask anyone?" He asked, handing the flyer back to Patch. The guys looked around at each other, worried looks on their faces. Eddie looked at them, his face a bit confused.
"You aren't going to ask anyone?"
"We didn't say that." Sparcticus said. Eddie was about to say something else when Dustin spoke up.
"I know for SURE who I'm asking!" He boasted, sticking his butt out. Everyone stared at him, but turned back to each other. Eddie frowned at the paper.
"Robert Barkward?" He said in a weird tone. Bart sighed.
"Yes. Apparently, he's Dustin's uncle, who's surprisingly rich." Bart said, stroking his chin in confusion. Dustin smiled.
"Yup! He's my Uncle..." He said.
"... Then how is he rich, and your still..." Eddie said, pursing his lips together to keep himself from finishing. Dustin shrugged.
"He hates me for some reason... Most of my family does really..." Dustin said sadly. Patch gave him a sympathetic look.
"W-Why?"
"Something about me being dangerously stupid." Dustin said, rolling his eyes. He thought for a second.
"Hey! How long has Eddie's hair been purple?" He asked out of no where. All the other guys slapped their foreheads.
