The Beginning and a Comedy of Errors
"Okay Finn, so that's how the plan will go alright?"
"Yeah, gotcha."
"See ya around."
And Sharon, Carol, Matt and Sam went to opposite directions.

Katie and Vaneza were on their way to the theatre where their acting classes would be held. Katie noticed that Vaneza was slightly skipping, she also had a silly grin plastered onto her face and was singing a tune that seemed like she was the only one who knew.
"Vaneza?"
"La la la la la..."
"Vaneza?"
"Tee Dee Dee Dee Dum..."
"Vaneza!"
"Hmmm? Katie! What?"
"Hey get off that cloud, you almost crashed onto quite a few trees!"
"Oh...hehe, I guess I'm not feeling myself today."
"Yeah...you like Zack don't you?"
"Huh? No of course not!"
"Don't lie to me! You look like Christmas came early this year."
"Okay, okay, so maybe I do."
"Hah! I knew it! I knew you liked him!!! Why?"
"I don't know, like I said, he's sweet, nice, friendly, cute, a great dancer, a good kisser..."
"Uh huh, yeah sure. Well are you going to tell?"
"Well...I'm not so sure yet..."
"I hope you will coz you know that he feels the same for you."
"Well...yeah...."
"If you ever get together, I warn you that he has an evil sister but a sweet brother."
"Yeah, I've heard."
They walked in silence for a while but once they reached the theatre Vaneza brushed her hand over her lips briefly. She felt the kiss placed there earlier and she smiled to herself, there was a small blush creeping onto her cheeks. Katie glanced at her and knew that Sam was history.

"Children, I want you to know that you are all talented. You all will have a part in the play. Some big, some not so big. For those who will get parts that aren't so big, well, that's okay. You are still very crucial to the play, just remember that. I want you to audition in alphabetical order. Sing a song perhaps, act out an emotion I assigned to you last week. I will not tell you your role until tomorrow. Ready begin."
There were 5 children who auditioned before Katie. Three girls and two boys. Soon enough it was Katie's turn. She was partly nervous but excited. This was different from the Battle of the Bands.
"My name is Katerina Santa Maria Francesca H. Brown, and I shall be singing 'Desperately' by Michelle Branch."
The lyrics of the song flowed out of her mouth and she left her fellow classmates speechless but a loud burst of applause followed. Ms. Woods was beaming, as was Vaneza. Katie herself was amazed. She never knew she could sing like that.
"Katerina, I must say you do have an excellent voice but how you act is also quite important. I'd like to see you act..."
And she did, she did it well also. Katie had her share of hidden talents.
"Remarkable! You might get lead role in the play. Well, thank you Katerina. Next..."
Katie walked from the stage, she was overwhelmed by the praise given to her by her teacher. Vaneza unselfishly congratulated her. They sat in their seats talking about the play. Vaneza was called and like her friend, she did excellently. The two girls left the theatre and ate dinner. It had been quite a good day.

-The Next Day-
Katie didn't have anything to do that day. Her parents were out as usual, and Vaneza had a dental appointment. Freddy wanted to practice that day and Zack, it was his brother's and sister's birthday. She didn't really want to hang around her cousins. So she just decided to laze around the house that day. She was brushing her hair when suddenly the phone rang.
Ring...
Ring...
Ring...
"Hello?"
"Hey Katie, it's me Matt."
"Hey Matt, what's up?"
"Well, I was just wondering...maybe you'd like to go out with me...as friends of course. That is if you have no plans."
"Well, I was kind of thinking about lazing around the house today, but sure why not?"
"Great, I'll pick you up at around 10:00."
"Okay. See ya."
"Right back at you."
Matt had hung up first. Katie glanced at the clock. It was 9:00. She still had an hour to go before that. She dressed up in jeans and a blue tank top and put sneakers on. She looked into the mirror, it was normal attire. She glanced at herself once more. She looked fine.
Katie looked at the clock...she didn't know why she was so anxious about this nondate. She shuddered inwardly at her first date with Freddy. It was semi romantic, semi funny, semi disastrous. Whatever had happened that night, they turned out alright anyway.
Flashback
It had been the summer of the eighth grade. Katie Brown and Summer were talking about the band's future. Zack still liked Summer back then and the same went for Katie and Freddy. The four had gone out to walk around the park.
Freddy had wanted to tell Katie how he felt for her for the longest time. Instead he immaturely argued with her a lot. Katie never backed down from a challenge and of course, she childishly argued back. Yet, nothing could tear them apart, no matter how many arguments they had.
Well, that day in the park Zack was encouraging his friend to finally ask Katie out. So after a long pep talk Freddy shakily walked forward to his other best friend.
"Uh...Katie?"
"Yes?"
"Would you..."
"Yes?"
"Like to go out with me tonight?"
Katie was silent for a moment. She had always liked Freddy more than a friend. Yet, she was quite taken back by this sudden invitation. She thought about whether she should go or not.
"Well, if you don't want then..."
"Of course I will, I'd love to go."
Freddy's features seemed to brighten up.
"Great then I'll pick you up at around 8:30."
It was a pretty awkward moment then...
"Well, I'll see you around then."
"Uh...sure, you too."
The four friends parted ways. Katie left with Summer who was giggling all the way home. (A/N: lol. Three little pigs line.)
Once Katie had arrived home Summer fussed with her hair, skin and nails until she looked practically like a goddess. ("Or at least that's what is says on the makeup kit," Summer said) then she helped her pick out her clothes which consisted of a black beret, a blue denim skirt and a red and black tee shirt accompanied by sneakers. It was 8:20 when Katie looked her best already.
They heard the doorbell ring and Katie answered the door. Freddy was impressed, who knew that his best friend could look so...beautiful. It was another awkward silence when suddenly Summer said that they should go or their movie would be over.
"Well, I got tickets for Spiderman, is that okay with you?" (A/N: This story is set in present time and the flashback was two years ago, 2002, before they started going out.. Just to clear things up...)
"Uh...sure..."
It was peaceful for quite a while but half an hour into the movie disaster struck.
"Uh, Katie, do you want some soda?"
"Um, sure."
"Here you go...ahhh..."
"Aaaacckkk!!! You spilled it all over me! Damn that's cold!"
"I'm sorry I swear! I'm so sorry!"
"No, it's okay, no problem...hehehe, no damage done."
Freddy breathed a small sigh of relief. The movie was pretty peaceful up till the end. As they were walking out of the theatre Katie knocked over some guy's popcorn. Not that it would have been a problem but, she had spilled it all over the man who owned the popcorn. The man began to verbally attack Katie who was on the verge of tears. Freddy, who had saw this, argued with the man.
He never considered that the man was at least three times bigger than he was, neither did he notice that he had stepped into some jerk's bubblegum. The man rounded on Freddy who toppled over due to the bubblegum on his shoe. Fortunately, the man helped Freddy and let him off with a warning.
"Well, that was an eventful night."
"Yup. Do you have any bruises from that fall?"
"Nah, I'm fine." And he grimaced up at her. "Well, can I take you home?"
"Of course."
They walked home in silence...until it began to rain. They ran home through muddy puddles and their clothes got all dirty also. They got to Katie's house drenched in rainwater.
"Well, good night then."
"Yeah, you too."
He kissed her good night on the cheek and walked down the street to his house. It had been an eventful night indeed.
End Flashback
Katie glanced at the clock again, the time read 9:45. It was a pretty boring fifteen minutes. Finally the doorbell rang.
"Hi Matt!"
"Hey Katie. Well, I'm here, I'm technically new here so maybe you'd like to show me around."
"Hey, why not?"
So the two went out the door and onto the streets, Katie was looking at the houses before them. Matt was looking at his companion.
His thoughts were interrupted by the cheerful sound of Katie's voice. "Well, shall we go then?"
"Huh? Sure. Yeah, yeah."
And he let her drag her left to the street where Freddy lived.
'Soon you'll be mine.' He thought to himself.

"So this is the house Matt was talking about." Carol said as she walked the path leading to the door. There was banging coming from the inside. It was definitely Freddy.
"Well Sharon, this is the where my baby is. He's so adorable when he plays drums. He has perfect hair, a perfect voice, and such a kissable mouth. But I can't kiss him yet, the plan has to work first but I'm sure he's just pretending to like Katie. I'm damn sure he loves me." (A/N: Remind you of a certain Hunter?)
Sharon, in all her stupidity, was taking in every word her sister was saying.
"Well Shar, this is it."
She pushed open the door of the house.
"Freddy!"
"Sharon? Carol? What are you doing here?"
"Oh, Zack told us we'd find you here! You have to come quick! It's about Katie!"
"Katie? I thought you couldn't care less about her."
"Um, we decided to bury our differences. We all know that we love each other."
"Okay, so what about Katie?"
"Well. We saw her with...well...I'd hate to be the one to tell you this but..."
"But what?"
"Oh! It's too horrible! We saw her kissing another guy!"
Quick as Freddy was to jumping to conclusions he unknowingly believed everything Sharon told him.
"What? Where?"
"Come on! We last saw them here!"
