Girl's Night In.......

A week later the band was setting up at Ambrosia before it opened. Ray and Summer still weren't talking, but Ray had told the guard that she could come in anyway. Summer was back to flirting with Freddy, so all was back to normal. Ray was at the bar getting ready for the rush with Ryan.

"So Ray, what's going on with you and this band?" he asked. "You've gotten quite close to them."

"Shut it Rye. They're my friends. I thought you were the one who wanted me to hang with a safer crowd."

"Yeah I do but I didn't think you'd actually listen to me." He said thoughtfully. "You never listen to me."

"Well after Larry hit me I realized for once that you were right." She smiled. "I never thought I'd say that." He gave her a hug.

"Why didn't you tell me Larry hit you? I would have kicked his ass."

"That's why I didn't tell you. Now let's get some chips out...I'm hungry." Ryan chuckled and tossed her a bag. The band started warming up with Ride the Lightning by Metallica. After the song was over Katie, Zack, and Freddy made their way over to the bar.

"So, where can we get some grub?" Zack asked.

"Well I'd say that the Diner down the street is pretty good for a quick bite. Wouldn't you say so Ray?" Ryan asked. "In fact, why don't you go with them."

"Alright. Follow me." She led them to a quaint little Diner and led them to one of the booths.

"So you guys excited about tonight? There's supposed to be some big scouts coming."

"You betcha!" Katie told her. "We're pumped! Oh, and Ray, after the show some of the girls and I are having a sleepover at my house. You wanna come?"

"And what are us guys supposed to do?" Freddy asked teasingly.

"Deal with it." Katie stuck her tongue out at him. "So?"

"Yeah I'll be there. Lucky for me I left some clothes and my suit at your house." Ray told her. They finished eating and made their way back to Ambrosia just before it opened. The band played a bunch of their original songs and left the stage. It wasn't hard to notice that they were one of the best bands that ever played at the club. Tomika and Katie were the first ones over by the bar talking animatedly with Ray.

"So, what'd you think?" Tomika asked excitedly.

"You guys were AMAZING! The best Ambrosia has seen yet." Ray told them.

"Are you serious?"

"No joke Katie. You guys kicked ass! You shouldda seen the look on the scouts' faces! They were blown away!"

"You think we'll get signed?" Freddy asked coming over with Zack. Ray nodded.

"Definitely Jones. Look I get off soon, so I'll meet you guys back at your house Katie, cuz I got some dancing to do."

"Naah, we'll stay. I wanna dance too." Katie told her dragging Zack onto the dance floor. Tomika laughed and ordered a coke.

"So Ray I heard that there's a girl that's gonna challenge you to a dance battle, you up for it?" Tomika asked.

"Yeah I'm ready, just need to change. Can't dance in jeans now can I? Who was it?"

"Some blonde over by the stage. Said her name was Laura." Ray rolled her eyes.

"Been there beaten that. When will she learn. Hang on one sec Tomika, I'll be out in a second in my dancing clothes. Hey Jones you feel like helping me again? Never know if I'm gonna need a zipper boy." She laughed. Tomika choked on her drink.

"Funny Ray, but no. I'm not your zipper boy."

"You're right, that's what Ryan is for." Ray teased and went into the back room. Ryan stood by them.

"What'd she mean by that?"

"Oh, Freddy just helped her with a zipper from our stylist's crazy designs that she tried on. I guess he was a little freaked."

"No I wasn't freaked. I've seen girls with their shirts off before." Freddy said in his defense.

"So I'm guessing you saw the scar?" he asked. Freddy nodded.

"That freaked me out the first time too. She doesn't care if you see it, but if you touch it"

"She flinches." Freddy finished. Ryan nodded.

"Riiiiiight." Tomika drawled, now knowing what was going on. Ray came back out in baggy camouflage pants and a tight black T-shirt.

"Hey Tomika, wanna be my partner for this? We'll get Katie to help too. It's usually crew versus crew."

"Yeah sure, let's go." The two girls left Freddy and Ryan at the bar, and Zack came over eventually.

"What's going on?"

"The girls are having a dance battle or something." Freddy told him.

"Should be funny. Ray doesn't like battling. She'll probably just scare her shitless." Ryan told them both. They laughed. Ryan was a pretty cool guy once you got to know him. He wasn't lying, they saw the three girls confront Laura and the girl backed down. They eventually ended up on the dance floor, well Freddy and Zack did. Ryan still had to work. Katie and Zack were grinding as were Tomika and Lawrence. Ray and Freddy were trying to out-do each other with stupid dance moves. Ray was doing the crip walk and then jumped up and did a split while Freddy did the worm and then spun around, kind of looking like Elvis in the process.

"Come on Jones! Let's see some real dance moves!" Ray laughed. Freddy grabbed her from behind and they started grinding.

"How's this for real?" he teased. She pushed him back.

"I'm sorry Mr. Jones, but I do NOT dance with posers." She shot back teasingly.

"Then it's a good thing I'm not a poser." He laughed and they went back to their dance duel. Time flew by and before they knew it, it was almost ten o'clock and the girls headed off to Katie's house, well all except for Elena (can't spell) who was grounded and Summer who just 'couldn't make it'. Ray grabbed some packs of soda before they left so that they wouldn't have to buy any from the store on the way home.

"So, who's up for a game of truth or dare?" Katie asked after putting on her Led Zepplin CD. Everyone agreed. "Alright, Marta truth or dare?"

"Truth."

"Who do you like?" Marta blushed.

"Gordon. Alicia truth or dare?"

"Dare."

"I dare you to call Dewey and beg him to let us play Ashley Simpson at our next gig." She called and everyone was laughing in the background.

"No Dewey! Come on! She's such a good singer stupid-ass!"

"No Alicia, we won't play that crap! Don't you remember anything I taught you in fifth grade?"

"Yeah, see you later." She hung up.

"Alright, Ray truth or dare?"

"Dare of course."

"I dare you to call Freddy and beg him to get over here with Zack and spend the night." Katie screamed. Everyone looked at her. "What? My parents aren't gonna be home till Sunday. In fact get him to get ALL the guys here!"

"I have to call drummer boy? That's the best you could think of? Alright gimmie the phone."
