Chapter 8
Tommy smiled when the girls came out of the back room. They had been waiting for a while, but it was worth it. Kat walked over to join him by the door as each of the guys walked over and joined their other-half's.

"You look stunning Miss. Hillard." He said with a smile as he handed her the white rose with pink tips.

"Why thank you Mr. Oliver." She replied, as she smelled the rose. "And you look particularly ravishing."

Tommy smiled softly. "I'll remember that." He replied so she could hear. "So, shall we go?" he asked the others.

"Sounds good to me." Zach called. "I can't wait to start dancing."

"I think I made a mistake falling in love with a man who loves dancing so much." Angela said shaking her head softly.

"That's ok." Kat replied with a laugh. "Tommy knows exactly how you feel, you can form a club."

"That's true, Tommy never could keep up with his girlfriends on the dance floor." Zach replied with a smile.

Tommy chuckled as they walked out of the house. "You were always there to keep them happy on the floor Zach, so I just stopped trying."

"Well no one can beat the Zach-meister." He replied with a smile.

"Heaven help us, they are inflating his ego." Trini said shaking her head.

"We'll never last the night." Aisha agreed with a laugh.

"That's enough you two." Zach said with a smile. "We need to get to the party."

"He's right, we should get going." Tommy agreed.

"Everyone's clear as to what we are doing after the party?" Jason asked.

"Yes father." Kat said rolling her eyes.

"We all have to try and get to Kim, so we can find out what is going on." Aisha began

"We meet back here thirty minutes after the party is over." Billy continued

"And hopefully one of us has Kim." Tanya finished.

"I think that we have the plan down. So lets get going." Rocky said with a smile as he opened the door for Aisha.

"All right, see you all at Ernie's." Adam called as he got into the car.

:-:-:-:-:

Wig-wam bam, gonna make you my man
Wam bam bam, gonna get you if I can
Wig-wam bam, wanna make you understand
Try a little touch, try a little too much
Just try a little wig-wam bam, and she said

Wig-wam bam, gonna make you my man...

Ann smiled as they finished one song. She picked up her guitar as the Stephanie counted off for the next one.

I used to think
I had the answers to everything
But now I know
Life doesn't always
Go my way, yeah...

Feels like I'm caught in the middle
That's when I realize...

Kat smiled as they walked into the Juice Bar. Ernie had quite a turnout. They all hoped he would. She paused in her thinking to listen to the band and Ann,… no Kim, sing. She was really good, better now than she was seven years earlier.

I'm not a girl
Not yet a woman
All I need is time
A moment that is mine
While I'm in between

I'm not a girl
There is no need to protect me
Its time that I
Learn to face up to this on my own
I've seen so much more than u know now
So tell me to shut my eyes

Jason smiled as he watched his 'little sister' sing. Looking at her now, knowing who she really was he was, he saw all the things that made her Kim. It was odd seeing her with blonde hair, but it did look good on her. She was more beautiful now than she had been at seventeen.

I'm not a girl
Not yet a woman
All I need is time
A moment that is mine
While I'm in between

I'm not a girl
But if u look at me closely
You will see it my eyes
This girl will always find
Her way

Aisha smiled when she saw Kim, the girl's sense of style was still her own. She was wearing a pair of flared hip hugger jeans, and a baby blue halter with a black lace duster. Her hair was brushed over on one side, cascading over her left shoulder and back in a pile of curls.

I'm not a girl
(I'm not a girl don't tell me what to believe)
Not Yet a woman
(I'm just tryin to find the woman in me, yeah)
All I need is time (All I need)
A moment that is mine (That is mine)
While I'm in between

I'm not a girl
Not yet a woman
All I need is time (is All I need)
A moment that is mine
While I'm in between

I'm not a girl
Not yet a woman

Adam smiled down at his wife. "Well, we came to a dance, would you like to dance?"

"Of course." She replied with a smile, taking his hand as they walked out to the area set aside for dancers.

"I think Adam has the idea. Would you like to dance my love?" Zach asked turning to Angela, who nodded in agreement.

The others soon followed the two couples as the next song began.

Love, love changes everything
Hands and faces, earth and sky
Love, love changes everything
How you live and how you die

Love, can make the summer fly
Or a night seem like a lifetime
Yes love, love changes everything
Now I tremble at your name
Nothing in the world will ever be the same

Love, love changes everything
Days are longer, words mean more
Love, love changes everything
Pain is deeper than before

Love will turn your world around
And that world will last forever
Yes love, love changes everything
Brings you glory, brings you shame
Nothing in the world will ever be the same

Off into the world we go
Planning futures, shaping years
Love (comes in) and suddenly all our wisdom disappears

Love makes fools of everyone
All the rules we made are broken
Yes love, love changes everyone
Live or perish in its flame
Love will never never let you be the same

Love will never never let you be the same

As the song ended the group of friends congregated at a large table Ernie had set aside for them.

"Did anyone else recognize that song?" Tanya asked trying to remember why she knew it.

"It's from the musical, 'Aspects of Love' by Andrew Lloyd Webber." Jason replied then looked around as silence descended over the table. "What? Don't look at me like that." He continued shaking his head at their shocked expressions. "I was living in Switzerland, I needed something to occupy my time, that was in english."

Trini patted his hand softly, then looked around the group still puzzled. "He's right, the words are from 'Love Changes Everything', from 'Aspects of Love', but the music was different."

"They put it to a more upbeat tune." Ernie explained as he walked past their table.

"Now it makes sense." Zach replied with a laugh as the watched the retreating back of the owner.

"That it does. Well, what do you guys say we have some fun. This is a party after all." Aisha said with a smile.

Everyone agreed, but at the back of their mind was their other mission for the night.
