"So it's settled. We're going tomorrow."
Raven hesitated. "What about Cake and Rocky? It wouldn't be fair for only the two of of to go."
"But you found the flyer, and everyone knows I love freaky things. This is literally MY show! So those two should have to wait till next time we find something cool in the street." Sarah was always good at persuasion.
"B-but shouldn't we at least ask to see if they even want to go?"
"Fine, Raven. You call Cake and I'll call Rocky. Just don't take too long, I wanna show you something before my parents wake up." So Raven took out her phone and dialed Cake's number, which she had memorized. Sarah did the same, but asked Siri to dial Rocky instead of doing it herself.
Two phone calls later, Sarah looked slightly annoyed. Both Rocky and Cake were free for the show, so it would be less likely for Raven and Sarah to go together.
"I was all ready for us to go by our selves Raven, but you just had to go and ruin our plan."
"Hey, at least we won't have to lie when we get to school on Monday about what we did." Sarah looked even madder. "Anyways, what did you want to show me?"
"Okay, so you might have noticed some of my crumpled papers," Raven nodded. It was pretty hard not to see the papers. "Well I've been working really hard on a drawing, and I had to make it absolutely perfect."
"Can I see it?" Sarah dug through folders and checked notebooks for a good five minutes until she found it under her pillow. It was a detailed drawing of her and Raven; a huge spider background behind Raven and a monster background behind herself. It was entirely in black, white, and red. Raven was impressed.
"Wow, that's really good Sarah!"
"Heh, thanks…"
Sarah and Raven watched the last hour of Paranormal Activity 3 and crashed right before the credits. Raven woke up at 5:30 out of habit, and woke up Sarah so she didn't miss the bus like every other day.
"Sarah wake up! We've gotta get to school!" Sarah opened her eyes sleepily.
"I don't wanna go to school…" Raven sighed, thinking of a logical excuse to get Sarah out of bed, because she knew that Sarah would sleep all day if given the chance.
"If you don't go to school, then you'll get detention, and we won't be able to go to the cirque." Sarah rolled out of her bed, onto the floor, and down the stairs.
-at school-
"So you're actually gonna GO to this show? Doesn't it seem a bit strange that you found it the day before the performance?" Cake, Rocky, Sarah, and Raven were at lunch, discussing who would go to the cirque
"Yes, Cake, I thought we made it pretty clear that we were planning on attending the show."
"Why can't we all go?" Rocky hadn't been listening, so Sarah explained it to him again.
"'Cuz we don't have enough tickets. There's only two. And there's four of us."
"How'd you get the tickets before now?" Even Raven hadn't noticed Sarah purchase the tickets.
"I have my ways." Rocky was about to open his mouth to ask another question, but was interrupted by the overcom.
"Would Raven Bagels and Sarah Puppet please come to the office?" Raven and Sarah said goodbye to their friends and nervously walked into the school's office. The principal, Mr. Exotic, was holding a duplicate of the Cirque du Freak flyer.
