"Amber, what are you doing here?" Seaweed asked her.
"What do you mean what I'm doing here? I practically live here. The real question is what is she doing here?" Amber said glaring at Penny.
"What happened to your face? Don't tell me you like it rough? You are such a stupid and nasty slut!"
"Amber come on don't be mean to her. She's had a bad night."
"I don't care and you shouldn't care either. Wait a minute. That's my dress! Why are you wearing my dress?"
"I just had to borrow it. I'll give it back." Penny said softly and stepped back. Amber was looking at her like she wanted to hit her.
"I don't want it anymore now that you've touched it. I thought I told you to stay away from my boyfriend. Go find your own! Oh that's right no one wants to be with you." Amber said to Penny and gave her a wicked smile.
"Amber that's enough!" Seaweed told her angrily.
"Don't tell me you're taking her side now. Was the sex really that good? She's nothing but trash!"
Seaweed was about to say something to Amber but Penny stepped up instead. She wasn't about to stand there and let Amber keep insulting her. "Who the hell do you think you are Amber? You've been jealous of me ever since you got back to town!"
"I'm a lot better then you are Penny Pingleton! Why don't you just go home? I have something to discuss with my boyfriend." Penny looked at Seaweed for help. She didn't want to go home alone on the bus. He understood and said "Penny just go wait in the bedroom you were in last night. I'll be right there."
"She slept over? I knew it!" Amber screamed. Penny just went to the back without hearing Seaweed's response. She went to the room and closed the door. She could Amber yelling from back there even though she couldn't understand what she was saying. A couple of minutes later she heard a door slam and then Seaweed opened the door.
"Where's Amber?" she asked
"She left. She got upset about you sleeping here." He explained.
"I'm sorry Seaweed."
"Well, I'm not. You were right about her. I thought she had changed but she's exactly the same. I can't believe I fell for her."
"So it's over?" Penny concluded.
"No, I have to talk to her." He said. Penny didn't really know what he meant. Did he want to talk to her so they can straighten things out or did he want to break up with her?
"Maybe you should just take me home then, so you can try to straighten things out with Amber." She said getting up.
"Yeah that's a good idea." He said. She was disappointed. She hoped he wouldn't agree and wanted her to stay but he didn't. She thought he really loved her after what he said before Amber walked in but she guessed he must have loved Amber after all.
Seaweed was surprised to see Amber standing in the record store waiting for him when he got back. He had hoped not to see her at least until he thought things through. He had been trying to fight his feelings for Penny for weeks because of Amber. He thought he loved her and that she was no longer that mean and selfish girl who used to be the lead dancer of the Corny Collins show but today he saw her true colors and realized that she hadn't changed at all. The sad thing was that he still loved her, though. He wished Amber would turn nice again like she was when they were together in Seattle.
"Where did you go?" She demanded.
"I had to take Penny home."
"Had to? She could have just ridden the bus."
"I explained to you what happened to her. Give her a break."
"Oh please! I'm sure she asked for it. When are you going to realize that she's a whore? I always knew she was." Amber said disgusted.
"Cool it Amber! Penny's not a whore!"
"I can't believe you are defending her. I mean come on Seaweed you might as well face reality. She sure was quick to move in with Corny wasn't she? Then he realized she was a slut and dumped her. Everyone knows that."
"Amber you don't know what you're talking about." He said. He didn't know the details of Penny and Corny's break up all he knew was that they were over and Penny was living with Tracy's parents now, but he did know that Penny was NOT a whore.
"Seaweed, face it she's no the innocent girl you want her to be."
"Actually, Amber you aren't the nice girl I want you to be."
"What's that supposed to mean?" She said in a nasty voice.
"You've changed since we've been back in Baltimore. You used to be nice or at least you were pretending to be. What's your problem Amber?"
Amber laughed out loud. "Isn't it obvious? My problem is her! If she were to leave town tonight I'll be nice again but as long as she's here I'm not going to! I don't like it when people try to take what's mine's" She said spitefully. He just looked at her. She had to be joking! What kind of crap was that to say?
"Now, let's just forget all about Penny and kiss and make up." She said sweetly and her arms around his neck and attempted to kiss him. He stepped back from her embrace and said "I don't think so Amber."
"What are you talking about?" She asked confused
"It's over Amber. We're done." He said softly.
"What? You're dumping me for her? What are you blind?" She cried.
"No Amber I was blind before but now I see you for what you really are."
She shook her head and smiled. "I knew you weren't worth it anyway. I only came back here with you because I thought you could get me back on the show somehow since your mom stole my mom's job and all."
"Get over yourself Amber! It's about time you grew up." He said not believing that was the only reason she even wanted to return to Baltimore. He should have figured out that she was only using him.
"Go to hell Seaweed! I'm going to Europe to be with my mom. She just got a job at a modeling agency in Paris you know. So now I can be a model and that's much better then hanging around here being on some local TV show!" She said hoping to hurt him but he just smiled and said "Well good bye Amber and good riddance" She stormed out of the store slamming the door behind her. He realized he would probably never see her again and thought it was best that Baltimore was once again free from Amber Von tussle. He just hoped it wasn't too late to make up with Penny.
