I greensaber92, am back. I don't own Lab Rats, Disney got to it first. I don't own the character Tori Neilson either; aaa3007 was the awesome person who created her! I do own Corrie and Allen which makes me feel a little better. Thanks for reading!

So I was in the cafeteria, at breakfast, eating my dehydrated astronaut Neapolitan ice cream, when my friend Tori decided to interrupt my silent eating-brooding session that I did every morning since freshman year. "So you do realize that there is going to be a dance that the student to student relations team is in charge of right?" She asked while adjusting her fedora. Torus was a member of the student to student relations team and was always telling me events that they were conspiring about.

"Well I realize it now, but prior to now I was not in the loop of people who knew." I grumbled while returning to my ice cream. Tori knew I didn't know she just liked asking questions. Tori also should have known by now that I was not a morning person.

"Well now that you realize that, you do realize that everyone will be talking about it once the news is released to the public right?"She continued to urge while playing with the bangles on her wrist.

"Yes Tori, I do realize that the whole student body will be ripping and roaring about this dance once the team sees fit to dislodge the information to the majority of the students." I rolled my eyes.

"Well this year I want you to go for once and to bring a date!"Tori proclaimed enthusiastically. I nearly threw up my dehydrated ice cream laughing.

"Let me get this straight, you want me to get a date to go to a dance that I don't even want to go to!" I sputtered. I never went to the school dances, in my opinion they were over rated and never had happy endings. I even had a ten step list of how a school dance ends up working.

Girl ends up trying to find guy who is sort of cute.

Girl somehow woos guy into dating her. The logic being that if they date, he has to take her to the dance.

Girl spends $300 on a dress she will never wear again.

Girl frets that boy will dump her.

Girl and Guy go to dance then they dance, eat crappy cookies, drink crappy punch, have a tacky romantic night and go home.

Next day Guy decides that since the dance is passed and he no longer needs a girl to look macho he will dump girl.

Girl cries her eyes out and lives on non-dehydrated chocolate ice cream for a week.

Boy picks up another girl for dance

Original Girl vows to get revenge.

Girl gets another guy and circle continues.

Actually I never dated either, I figured once I was done with college and had a master's degree in statistics I would take an exam to see if I could become an actuary. Once I was an actuary I could worry about a relationship. Not until then.

Tori looked at my face and said, "You are going to the dance, weather you have a date or not. If you have a date that's a plus, but you are going to the dance." Tori's usually warm brown eyes were very determined.

"But-"I tried to reason but my bff cut me off.

"No buts, even if I have to force you into a dress and handcuff you to myself you are going to the dance its final."

I skulked as the bell rang and headed off to class contemplating my fate. Tori was a theater geek. "The Glass Menagerie", "Phantom of the Opera" "Les Misrebals", "Annie", "Romeo and Juliet," or "Wicked" you name it Tori had probably seen it, read it, or read about it. I loved Tori too death, freshman year she decided that since we sat next to each other in homeroom we had to be "besties" after that we were inseparable. The only slightly annoying thing about Tori was that as we got older she got more interested in parties, dances, dresses, and *shudders* romance. Tori was also a morning person, something I was the exact opposite of. Once I finished my ice cream I schlepped my shoulder back pack onto my back and headed for class. I was not as excited for today as I had been last night. Shakespeare and obnoxious football players were not my favorite things in the world.

When lunch finally came the geek table got a new member. Chase Davenport. Because of his nutty alter ego, the nerd and dork table refused to take him, so the brave geek table got to play host for the period. The thing about geeks is we generally specialize in one or at the most two or three subjects. For example, I liked sci-fi, fantasy, and statistics. Tori liked theater. Allen was a health food addict and built robots. Are you starting to get the picture? Most geeks also know how to blend in if they really have to. Chase Davenport was really a nerd not a geek. He wanted to excel in everything. I was pretty sure he was a little ocd about school work; I mean the kid was doing homework from the period before lunch, that wasn't due for three days, at lunch. Unfortunately as I said, the other two tables were he would probably fit in better said no so we were stuck with him until further notice. He was a sweet kid but just didn't know how to act his own age sometimes.

When school was over I had too bike over to Adam's house for our literature study session. I was really surprised because his house was huge. Not like oh that's sort of big, I mean humongous. When I rang the doorbell Bree opened the door. "Hey, who're you?" she asked furrowing her eyebrows.

"I'm Corrie, Adam and I have to work on a project for school…" I was suddenly worried that Adam hadn't told his family we had to study and that I was intruding on something.

"Oh, okay, um Adam did say you were coming! I'll just go get him and you two can study." She opened the door and took me into what looked like a cross between a living room and a kitchen. "I'll be right back." she said, and then went somewhere to presumably find her brother.

This ought to be fun, I thought. Eventually Adam came from wherever he was to begin with. "Oh, hey Corrie!" he smiled.

"Hi, so where do you want to study?" I asked deciding to get right down to business if we had to study Shakespeare might as well get it over with as soon as possible.

We decided to just use the kitchen table and got out our books. Time for the torture to begin, I read the first paragraph out loud.

ACT I SCENE I

Athens. The palace of THESEUS.

Enter THESEUS, HIPPOLYTA, PHILOSTRATE, and Attendants.

THESEUS

Now, fair Hippolyta, our nuptial hour

Draws on apace; four happy days bring in

Another moon: but, O, methinks, how slow

This old moon wanes! she lingers my desires,

Like to a step-dame or a dowager

Long withering out a young man revenue.

"Did that make any sense to you whatsoever?" I asked before even trying to delve any further.

"No. What's a noopital hour" Adam said bluntly.

"Okay good, because all I understood was he thinks a girl or a hippo, I'm not sure which, is pretty. I'm pretty sure he's talking about having sex with her" I hypothesized. I was really relieved that my partner was confused to.

"So… what's it say next, maybe that'll clear the first line up." Adam tried to be optimistic.

HIPPOLYTA

Four days will quickly steep themselves in night;

Four nights will quickly dream away the time;

And then the moon, like to a silver bow

New-bent in heaven, shall behold the night

10

Of our solemnities.

"Do you want to go on Spark Notes and fill in the worksheet with that?" I was already brain dead from the first two lines.

"Wouldn't that be cheating?" Adam looked puzzled.

"No, I don't think so, anyways everyone else is probably doing it too. This play was written for people in Ancient England to read." I reasoned.

"Okay then.

And so I dug out my lap top and googled A Midsummer Night's dream Spark notes. The Spark notes summary of Act 1 scene I made way more sense than reading the actual thing. Getting out the worksheet we were able to fill in most of the questions with no problem. Who was Theseus, why was he impatient, how does he say he woos Hippolyta. They were all filled in with no problem.

"Well that was fun and pretty painless; I guess we can do this tomorrow for scene two?" I asked as I put my stuff in my back pack.

"Sure, but can we do it at your house, my uh Dad is going to have some business stuff going on tomorrow."

I was really confused as to why Adam stuttered of saying dad but decided not to question it.
"Kay, I'll see you tomorrow then." We had walked outside by now and I started to get on my bike.

"Corrie, I don't know your address!" Adam ran after me a few minutes after when I was biking down the road.

I screeched to a stop, "Sorry uh here." I ripped a piece of paper out of a notepad in the front of my back pack and wrote the street address down. "Bye again." I called as I biked off.

"Bye, Corrie!" I distantly heard Adam.

Today hadn't been as painful as I thought it would be. Using Spark Notes had made the ordeal a whole lot easier, and Adam was actually pretty nice. Maybe the project wouldn't be as bad as I originally figured it would be.

Thank you so much for reading! Please review and let me know how I am doing. I wanted the study session to be a little awkward since Adam and Corrie aren't exactly friends yet, so I'm sorry if it was a little weird to read. Next chapter I upload will fully start episode 3.
