Chapter Four -
Everyone soon arrived for the party. Guests came in one after the other stopping at the door allowing the butlers to take their coats. Jazz music filled the room as couples began to dance. It would certainly be an interesting night.
Shawn and Philip were up next at the door. As they entered, the servants offered to take their coats but Shawn refused while Philip took it off.
"Why don't you give them your jacket Shawn? You're going to be here a while."
"Not if I can help it," thought Shawn.
It was going to leave as soon as he had the chance.
Shawn and Philip walked into the next room eyeing cheerful couples dancing and laughing.
Philip came up behind Shawn and placed his hand on his shoulder. "Remember what I told you. You might meet her here so keep your eyes open."
Shawn rolled his eyes at the thought.
They walked further into the room.

Mimi finished parking the car as she put it in park and turned off the engine. She turned toward Belle.
"Ready for a little fun?"
"Sure Meems. Let's go" replied Belle sarcastically.
They opened the car doors and got her closing them.
Belle hugged her coat around herself as they made their way toward the Salem Inn doors.
They stood in line for the their coats to be taken and walked inside.
"Okay, let's go in there. It looks like fun" Mimi pointed.
Mimi grabbed Belle's hand and walked toward the room.
There they saw the couples dancing the night away.
"Oooh, Single... Available... Men, Here we come"
Mimi grabbed Belle's hand and walked further into the room.
While Mimi tried to find her Prince Charming, Belle walked toward the bar.
"What can I get for you?"
"Um, I'll just have a glass of water, Thanks."
The bartender handed the glass of water to Belle.
Belle turned her head to the left and eyed none other than her latest victim, Shawn.
Belle coughed trying not to choke on her glass of water.
"What's he doing here?"
Belle turned to leave but suddenly stopped by a hand grabbing at hers.
She turned around only to see Mimi with a guy.
"Belle, look who I ran into?"
Belle looked up at the man.
"Philip?"
Mimi nodded.
"WOW, I haven't seen you since high school. It was a pleasure meeting you but I really need to run."
Belle turned to leave again but stopped when she heard Shawn's voice.
"Hey Shawn, this is Belle Belle. I told you about once. I went to Salem High with her and Mimi Lockhart."
Philip pointed to Mimi.
"Oh no. I forgot Philip knew Shawn. Oh GOD. Can this night get any worse," thought Belle.
Belle closed her eyes tight. She would have to face Shawn sooner or later.
Belle turned back around slowly.
"Hi Shawn."
