SURPRISE
NOTE: I am not lucky enough to own any of these characters because they belong to Joss and the WB. But I own Skylar (in a way) and any other character you don't recognize.
A/N: This story is the second story in my Skylar series. I can't say how many stories there will be. I also can't say how long this story will be, either. Mainly because I'm not sure yet of what will happen. Also some of you may not have read the very first Skylar story "Angel's Gift" so you may not quite understand this.
CHAPTER 3Dawn stood in the hallway near her locker. She was looking in the mirror hanging on the inside of her locker door. Someone tapped Dawn on the shoulder then. It was her friends, Tammy and Beth. Tammy had red hair. She was wearing a black miniskirt and a red sleeveless turtleneck. Beth had black hair. She was wearing a brown sweater and chocolate brown leather pants.
"Dawn, you will not believe it," said Tammy. She pointed to one of the Valentine's dance posters hanging on the wall. "Look!"
"What's the big deal?" asked Dawn. "There have been posters for that dance for nearly three weeks."
"No!" said Beth. "That's not what we mean."
"You will not believe what we heard," said Tammy.
"What?" Dawn asked, looking back at her mirror. She pulled back a lock of her brown hair.
"Dawn! Richard Stevens is going to ask you to the dance!" Tammy squealed.
"What? No way," said Dawn.
"Yes, way," said Beth. "We swear. We heard about it from Julia Johnson."
"Julia Johnson?" Dawn repeated. "As in the writer for the gossip column? I don't think so. She's never right about anything."
"Well, she's right about this," said Tammy.
"How do you know?" asked Dawn.
Beth said, "Well, Richard is walking over here right now."
Dawn turned and looked down the hall. A tall, handsome blonde boy was heading their way. He was wearing a red and white basketball jacket and dark blue jeans. He was also smiling. His teeth were sparkling white.
"Oh, God," said Dawn nervously. "What do I do? I'm hideous."
"Put on some cherry lipstick. It goes with your sweater," said Tammy.
"Right." Dawn turned to her mirror again and began to rub the cherry lipstick all over her lips. She put black mascara over her eyes. The last thing she added was red blush. "OK. How do I look?"
"You look like a young Julia Roberts," Beth replied.
"Good enough," said Dawn. Richard walked up to her then.
"Hi," he smiled. "Dawn Summers, right?"
"Right," Dawn squeaked. "Hi."
"Hey. Listen. Dawn, you heard about the Valentine's Day dance, right? I was wondering something."
"What?" Dawn asked.
"Would you go with me?"
"She'd love to," said Tammy.
"It'd be her pleasure," Beth added.
"Yes. What they said," said Dawn.
"Great. So I'll pick you up at seven? Maybe we can catch a burger afterwards?"
"Yes, of course. It's a date," said Dawn.
"Great. Later." He walked away.
"Oh, my God! Dawn, remember this moment because this is the moment when you met your future husband," said Tammy.
"Guys, this is so cool! But I can talk for myself you know."
"Yeah, right. You just can't talk fast enough," said Beth.
A/N: I'd like some reviews if you wouldn't mind. So do you like the second story so far? Let me know.
