Chapter 10 To The Rescue

After Marco and Craig's conversation they headed over to Paige's party and the car drive was very awkward. Now Marco knew about Craig and Manny's relationship or whatever Craig thought it and they didn't speak the whole car drive. Craig trusted Marco and believed him when he said he wouldn't tell anybody his little secret. When they got to Paige's party they were 5 minutes late and the guest already started to arrive.

Paige: You're finally here. That was some long car drive.

Spinner: yeah an incident happened and that's why we had to give Emma and her little friends a ride.

Paige: I would love to chat hun but you have to go get set up and ready to play. Spinner: All right we don't disappoint you.

Paige: You better not or our relationship would be over.

Spinner: Are you serious?

Paige: If you mess up you'll find out. I love you.

Spinner: Yeah me too. Bye honey!

Paige: Hey Spinner! I was only kidding.

Spinner: Yeah I knew that. (But he didn't really but he was now relieved. Some of the pressure was taken away but they still had to really good.)

Emma: Do you see Chris?

Manny: No but stop worrying. He will be here. He said so himself.

Emma: Yeah I know but I'm just so nervous.

Manny: Don't be. You look great and Chris would be crazy not to notice that.

J.T.: Yeah you look hot. (He said and then looked at Manny who was kind of upset by that comment.) Oh but you look more hot and I'm the luckiest guy ever because I'm here with you.

Manny: Oh you say the sweetest things! (She said and then kissed him on the cheek.)

J.T.: Do you ladies want something to drink?

Manny: Oh and also so thoughtful. Yeah I would like a Dr. Pepper. Thank you babe!

Emma: Me too except about that babe thing. (She giggled.)

The door slammed shut and there was Emma's prince charming dressed in baggy jeans with an oversized shirt. They sure do come in all shapes and styles. He smiled at her and she practically melted. She said hi too and then he came over to her. Manny said she had to go find J.T. but Emma knew she didn't leave because of that reason but to leave her and Chris alone.

Chris: Hi Emma you look great.

Emma: Ah ha you too.

Marcus: Hey aren't you going to introduce me to your date.

Chris: Excuse him but that's just my cousin Marcus. Don't listen to him.

Emma: Well nice to meet you and I wasn't all that upset about the date comment.

Chris: So where is this band we heard about?

Emma: Well I guess they canceled so Craig's band will be taking their place.

Chris: Sounds interesting

Marcus: Well I'm going to go check this band out. Have fun!

Emma: Yeah bye! He sounds nice.

Chris: Yeah I guess but not all that bright.

Emma: Well I guess you're not that fond of him.

Chris: Nah I mean he's my idol. I want to be just like him.

Emma: And exactly what would that be?

Chris: A D.J. Yeah he let's me scratch a few times whenever I'm with him. I've learned everything I know from him.

Emma: Well I would like to see you one time you know. . . scratching. (He laughed because she stumbled over the word scratching.) What's so funny?

Chris: Nothing girl but sure you could come to a rave with me one day. Emma: Great so. (Then she was interrupted by a loud voice. It was Paige talking into the microphone.)

Paige: Hello everybody! I'm so glad that you could all come and at last minute I scheduled a new band known as. . . (She put her hand over the microphone.) Guys what is your name?

Craig: Our band doesn't have a name! (Paige smiled and turned to the crowd.)

Paige: The Band Without a Name! Guys let's rock the house.

Craig: One, two, three, rock on. (They all started to play different songs.) Stop! (So they stopped instantly except Spinner who kept playing until he realized that he was the only one still paying.)

Spinner: What? We sound great!

Craig: We sound horrible and are playing different songs, which you obviously haven't noticed. So let's try it again. One, two, three, rock on.

The crowd went along with it until the band started to get off the beat again. The people started to say boo louder and louder and Paige was getting worried. Then Craig and the guys tried again and they sounded really good until the speakers they used sparked and then it broke. The crowd started to boo some more getting more impatient.

Craig: Uh what do we do now?

Marco: We can't do anything because we have no speakers. I knew this would blow up in our faces but I didn't picture the speakers blowing up too.

Jimmy: Just tell everybody that we have some technical problems and we'll just stall until we find another solution.

Spinner: Like what?

Jimmy: I don't know but it's better than standing up here looking like complete idiots but you just always look like one.

Spinner: Looks who's talking!

Craig: Uh we are having some technical but we'll fix it somehow so don't leave quite yet.

Somebody in the crowd said yeah right and Craig and the rest of the Band Without a Name went to go figure out what they we're going to do. It's seems like there a Band Without a Solution. Paige ran up to them and started yelling. Spinner was trying to calm them down. Emma, Chris, Manny, and J.T. saw the whole.

Emma: She seems very unhappy and so do the other people.

Manny: I never really liked Paige that much but I actually feel sorry for her. We should do something.

J.T.: Like what exactly? I mean I'm not very talented when it comes to instruments.

Emma: Chris you're a D.J. why don't you play? I would really love to see you and I'm sure you're better then Craig's Band!

Manny: Yeah what do you say?

Chris: I would love to but I don't know. I mean it's up to Marcus! (Then Marcus came up from behind him.)

Marcus: What's up to me?

Chris: If you want to be the D.J. for the party along with my brilliant help. You have the turntable and everything in your car.

Marcus: I would be crazy to turn down the opportunity. Com on Cuz!

Chris: We'll be back in a few. (Spinner followed Paige as she walked away looking very sad, close to tears.)

Emma: Hey Paige!

Paige: Hey Emma, Manny, and J.T.! What's up?

Emma: You look great but I almost beat you.

Paige: Thanks for trying to cheer me up but the party is close to being over.

Emma: No it isn't. Chris and his cousin are D.J.s so they said they would play. They're outside right now getting the equipment.

Paige: I owe you so much. Wait didn't you say you we're coming with Sean?

Emma: Um yeah but that didn't work out but I'm glad because he would've never came to the rescue like Chris.

Paige: Hun, tell Chris I said thanks. I'm going to go announce it to the rest of the band.

Chris and Marcus heard a car park behind them and it was Sean, Jason, Alex, and Bradley. Chris didn't let them know that he saw them but Sean saw him and knew that he was here with Emma. They seemed very suspicious. They didn't get out of the car and Chris wondered why. Then Chris and his cousin went inside and set up.

Paige: Okay I know you might be disappointed but the Band Without a Name won't be playing anymore tonight so Marcus and Chris will be taking their place. I promise that this is going to be good.

Chris and Marcus were and everybody else thought so too. The people started to dance and Paige actually was smiling and dancing with Spinner. It was actually looking like it was going to be a good party after all.
