Author Note: Hello and happy holidays everyone! : ) I figured that I should post another chapter to this story by now, lol. Sorry for the wait. Please read and review!



Chapter 4

Phil nervously paced around his room, tugging at his blue shirt collar as he thought: what on earth was he going to wear? He almost had decided to ask Lillian for help but, for some reason, it would have been to humiliating. After about twenty minutes he had decided on blue-no, orange- wait, no black! No, he decided, blue...

As he brushed back his hair, he heard a knock at the door.

"Phillip, come onnnn."

"I'll be down in a minute, Lill-ian.' Phil grumbled, glancing back in the mirror.

"Come on, or we'll be late." Lil yelled through the door. "You're not still trying to find a shirt, are you?"

Phil blinked-twice. "How'd you know?"

"I'm your sister, what can I possibly NOT know? Now come ON!"

"All right, all right!" Phil quickly opened the door, still messing around with his collar. Lil, who had taken one look at her brother, had made a bust of laughter.

"Aw, don't ya look cute!" Lil said, who had also been dressed up. She had on a sparkling green dress, and on her wrist a jewel bracelet. She giggled to herself, knowing that she would be meeting her date at the dance in only an hour.

"Come on." Phil rolled his eyes, leaving for the school.

Phil and Lillian arrived at the dance about ten minutes later, each departing in separate directions. Lillian went over to talk with Kimi.

"Wonder who she's with?" Phil asked, watching his sister leave.

"Why don't we go ask?" Susie said suddenly from behind him. Phil turned around, seeing Susie sweetly smile, brushing a small braid back behind her violet dress. "Hi Phil."

"He-llo Susie," Phil gulped suddenly, not realizing how nervous he had been. Looking at her, he realized how beautiful Susie. "You look great-as usual 'course."

Susie giggled, saying sweetly. "You don't look half bad yourself."

Phil smiled-or rather blushed-having been glad that he had decided to come to the dance and, of course, glad he wrote the note.

"I dunno, Tommy. I don't like dances. I'm clumsy." Chuckie muttered, being pushed through the gym doors.

"Come on, Chuckie, you'll love it." Tommy said. "I mean, how hard can it be to find someone to dance with, huh?"

"Harder than you think," Chuckie moaned, sitting down in a nearby chair. An houor ago he had been sitting at home, happy that it was the weekend and that he didn't have homework. He had even beaten a few levels on his computer games, but Tommy had somehow dragged him to the dance. Chuckie had planned on going two days ago but nerves got the best of him. He had wanted to ask someone out, he had asked someone out, hadn't he? Wait, maybe it was only something he made up. Was it a dream he had last night? No, that was the one with clowns...

Why, oh why him?

Author Note: Don't they make a cute couple? Okay, next chapter will have a little plot with Kimi in it for all of you fans. She's at the dance but with who, I wonder? You'll find out in the next chapter!
