"I just want to let you know, from one girl to another, that…" Cornelia bit her lip, but in a comedic way, as if to stifle her laughter. Irma cocked an eyebrow, as did Will, Taranee, and Hay Lin.

Finally, before answering, Cornelia began to laugh hysterically.

"CALEB'S ALREADY CHEATING ON YOU!"

Irma was in the bathroom, sobbing her anguish away. She didn't care that she was skipping her French, Geometry, English, and History class. She felt sick, and terrible, and just wanted to drown in the toilet adjacent to her (except she would probably pick a different toilet as one of the Grumper sisters had a bit too much hot sauce the night before…)

Hay Lin stood somberly, rubbing Irma's back. The three sane girls, Hay Lin, Will, and Taranee all had taken shifts to skip a class and console Irma. As much as they felt bad for Irma, they were furious at Caleb. First, he played with Cornelia's and Irma's feelings, and then he cheats on Irma? The W.T.H girls were not going to stand for this. (Hay Lin even noticed that their acronym could be defined as 'What the Hell'. All they needed was Cornelia and their name could be 'What the Hell Caleb!')

Suddenly the bell rang and Hay Lin sighed. She slowly began to dissemble her barricade on the girl's bathroom door, and to her surprise, a long haired blonde girl walked up to her, smiling devilishly.

"Cornelia." Hay Lin uttered, as she was already imaging explosions, death threats, armies, and tanks.

"Hey Hay Lin, is Irma in there?" Cornelia spoke in her mature voice—the voice she used when comforting Hay Lin about Nerissa and Yan Lin. Strangely, Hay Lin felt more comfortable leaving Cornelia in the bathroom with Irma. Smiling, she left the room, and let Cornelia put up the barricade.

"You did WHAT?" Will yelled at lunch, as Hay Lin excitedly rambled on how Cornelia and Irma were going to bond now. Taranee already could imagine tanks, armies, death threats, and explosions. Shaking her head, the fire guardian arose and led the other two girls to the bathroom.

Fearing the worst, the three guardians edged near the bathroom, and to their surprise, they found Cornelia and Irma hugging. Funnily enough, the bathroom was spotless, and no one was missing any appendage. So far it seemed good.

"Girls…?" Will asked hesitantly, as she bit her lip.

Irma and Cornelia broke the embrace and looked at the girls.

"We have a plan." Irma smiled devilishly, as if the previous sobbing Irma didn't even exist.

"And it's going to be good." Cornelia giggled as she winked at Irma. Suddenly, the three girls once again foresaw armies, tanks, death threats, and explosions. Fortunately, they imagined their two witch sisters initiating the attacks on someone else.

"So who is the skank Caleb is dating?" Will asked, slightly venomously. Taranee did a double take as she scanned Will and went "mhmm-mmm"

"Her name is Rissa Dracar." Cornelia announced, as Irma tried to stifle some laughter. Suddenly, Taranee felt like puking and Will was racing with her to the nearest bathroom. Before the girls could throw up, Irma laughed.

"NO! It's not Nerissa!" Irma roared, as the two guardians panted heavily, relieved that Caleb's mother…wasn't hitting on him.

"Tell me more about her!" Hay Lin squealed, as the five girls sat in a circle.

"Rissa is a player. She often flirts with guys just to do things with them, you know?" Irma hummed, as she stretched slightly.

"Exactly. And we feel that the only reason she's dating Caleb is because—" Cornelia was cut off by Irma's outburst.

"She hates Cornelia and I!" Irma cheered, as she and Cornelia clapped hands. Will looked confused, and glanced at Taranee for help. The fire guardian shrugged.

"So…" Will asked, still confused.

"So! Caleb must not even be that interested in her. Boys will be boys. You know where there brain is." Irma winked, as all four girls blushed and shook any dirty images from their head.

"So what's the plan?" Will asked, as the five girls huddled together….

Irma walked into a restaurant, dressed in a blue flowing dress. She had opal earrings, and a diamond necklace, with blue eyeshadow and her hair in a bun, with white chopsticks. Her blue gloves accentuated her blue eyes, and her tall blue heels made her seem more gracious than she actually was.

To her side, was Martin the Nerd. He was in a tuxedo, with a white shirt and a red bow-tie. Smiling widely, the couple sat at a table in the end.

A few minutes later, a tall blonde haired girl walked in, her crystal blue eyes shining, as her long blonde hair reached to her back. Her sleeve-less green dress only reached to the top of her knees, and her tall green heals and jade accessories made her look beautiful. To her side was a handsome young African American male, named Angelo.

"Remember the plan Angelo!" Cornelia winked, as she took Angelo in her arm and sat next to Irma and Martin, the former of which winked at Cornelia.

The couples brought up their menu's and pretended to scan their menus. In reality, all four were on the lookout for a certain brunette and a certain green-eyed witch.

To their delight, they saw Caleb walk in, with his usual hand-me-down tuxedo, and Rissa walking in, her long black hair swishing at every step and her jade eyes glancing at everything confidently. After seating Rissa, Caleb sat down and began to converse with her. Cornelia gently nudged Angelo, who smiled at her and got up. Cornelia placed her head on her hands, as she confidently watched the scene unfold. She had noticed at school that Rissa found muscular men attractive, and here was her best friend, Angelo, one of the most muscular men she knew. In fact, Cornelia had even declared that if she couldn't get Caleb, Angelo would be her next choice.

Angelo began to walk toward the bathroom, which was located near Rissa's table and Caleb's table.

While he walked near the table, he pretended to trip slightly, earning him Rissa's attention while Caleb chatted on. Winking at her, he bent down and flexed his muscles while tying his shoes. Winking again at Rissa, Angelo entered the bathroom. Cornelia and Irma winked. Phase One was complete.

Irma and Cornelia whispered something to Martin, as the two girls both left their table and also began walking to the bathroom, in which Caleb's table was on the way.

"CALEB?" Irma shrieked, as Cornelia proceeded to walk in from a different direction.

"IRMA? CALEB?" Cornelia yelled, as Caleb blushed hotly. Rissa rolled her eyes and excused herself.

"WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?" Irma yelled both at Cornelia and Caleb, who looked like he wanted the ground to eat him alive.

"I'M ON A DATE WITH ANGELO!" Cornelia yelled, as Caleb flushed and gave a look to Cornelia.

"GIRL PLEASE. Anyways," Irma took a deep breath, "CALEB WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE WITH HER?"

Caleb whimpered before sheepishly grinning:

"C-Chemistry homework?" Caleb flushed, as he realized he was caught by his current girlfriend, ex-girlfriend, and current current girlfriend. Life was just too cruel.

Before Irma could pummel Caleb, Cornelia gasped. As Caleb spun his head, Cornelia winked at Irma.

Rissa was dragging onto Angelo's arm, who was desperately trying to rid the girl from his clutches. She was licking her lips and attempting to grope him. Caleb's mouth fell to the floor, and Irma and Cornelia feigned shock.

"ANGELO?" Cornelia cried out in an overly-dramatic tone that Irma shot her a glare for.

"RISSA?" Caleb stood defiantly, his nostrils flaring.

"CORNELIA?" Angelo cried for help, as he attempted again to push off Rissa, who looked as pale as a ghost.

"CALEB?" Rissa exclaimed, as she didn't know whether to let go of her new toy of affection, or stay with him.

"Irma!" Irma cheered to herself, feeling slightly offended at the lack of acknowledgement toward her.

"Say Cheese Baby!" A nerdy voice called, as Martin took a picture of Rissa hanging onto Angelo's arm (just his arm—Martin managed to completely crop out Angelo).

"This will look so good on tomorrow's paper!" Martin snorted, as Irma laughed heartily. Cornelia winked, and Caleb grabbed Rissa and began to hiss at her in the corner. The entire restaurant, including the waiters, was seemingly getting back to their original business, but they were all curious to see what happened next.

After Caleb whispered harshly to Rissa, leaving her in the corner, he stomped out angrily, but gave a sincere smile to both girls, before walking out of the restaurant. Cornelia gave a quick kiss on the cheek to Angelo, as he walked out, Martin following him.

"Say Corny," Irma began as both girls gathered their scarves and paid the bill.

"Why yes Lair?" Cornelia responded coyly.

"Have you ever seen a mud-show?" Irma asked innocently.

"No, I have not. Let's go see one!" Cornelia smiled deviously, as with a flick of her wrist, the decorative plants threw their dirt at Rissa, who started screaming. Irms then diverted the fountain's water to hit straight at her, leaving the girl covered in a muddy ensemble.

Life was back to normal.
