"Okay! What should we do tomorrow night? I say we hit the amusement park. I hear the new roller coaster has a free fall that'll take three years off your life expectancy." Sam said as she earned excited faces from Danny and Sora, but earning a disgusted look from Tucker.
"No way. It costs forty bucks just to get in there, not to mention food and stuff." Tucker said as Kairi agreed.
"Yeah, going to one of those things costs a fortune, and plus… Sora and I don't exactly have money that can be used in this world." Kairi said.
Sam sat up and decided to speak up. "Hey, if you're tapped out, I could lend you the cash. Besides, it would be fun to take Sora and Kairi to something they really haven't experienced before."
Tucker did not like that idea and proceeded to make air quotes with his fingers. "Lend" means ] "repay," and "repay" is out of my reach."
Danny however was looking at Dash, who was handing out invitations to tomorrow's party. Dash then hands an invite to Paulina and winks at her. "Great. It's the hottest party of the whole school year, and Paulina's going, and I'm not, again!"
Sam scoffed and then laughed. "I don't understand what you see in her. She's a complete airhead!"
Just then Paulina walked up to the counter to make her order. "Okay, uh, let me get the Mighty Meaty Cheesy Melt. Um, how meaty is that?" She asked, the moody cashier rolling her eys before speaking.
"That would be MIGHTY meaty, meaning a crap ton of meat on it!" She said, doing her best to be polite. Paulina decided on the Mini Melt before going back to the table with her Meal. Dash, however, came over to Danny and slapped an invitation in his face.
" Here! Your sister made me invite you to my party. So, shut up, show up and leave. Don't cause anything to happen or it's your ass on the line." Dash said as he walked away. As Danny held the invite, several students in the popular crowd waved at him. Some even came up to Danny and said hello.
"I'm...I'm invited! '' Danny said as he hugged the invitation. He waved bye to his friends and ran out of the building.
The next day was just feeding Danny's ego. All the Popular kids at Casper High kept giving Danny complements and were excited to see him at the party. Sora and Kairi seemed to be worried about him.
Dash informed Danny of the outfit he was required to wear, it costing at least a full year of allowance. Danny then sat with his friends to enjoy a nice lunch. "Danny… you need to keep your guard up at that party. It just seems like Dash is trying to embarrass you!" Sora and Sam said.
Danny didn't hear them as Paulina, who was sitting on a blanket under a tree with a boombox, called over to him. "You wanna hear my new CD? It's really crunk!" She said.
Danny shrugged and asked Sam a rather quick question. "Is crunk good?"
"It's Paulina…" Sam said as Danny ran over.
