Title: The Party of the Year--Chapter 2: The Party

Manny and Emma ended up sleeping in until 12:00 noon. The phone rang and woke Emma up. After 2 rings, the phone stopped ringing.

"EMMA!" Emma's mom yelled downstairs to Emma.

"Ugh! What mom?!" Emma yelled back sleepily.

"Phone!"

"Who's yelling?" Manny asked half way asleep.

"My mom." Emma answered her.

Emma picked up the phone wondering who was calling her.

"Hello? This is Emma. May I ask who is calling?"

"Emma, this is Paige."

"Paige? Why are you calling me?" Emma asked confused.

"You and Manny are going to that party tonight, right?"

"Yeah, why?"

"Well, I just wanted to worn you both, watch out what you do."

"Okay, whatever Paige." Emma said calmly.

"Okay, bye."

Emma hung up the phone. She convinced Paige that she was calm, even though she really wasn't. Inside she was mad. 'I can't believe Paige! She just told me that to make sure I wouldn't have a good time at this party tonight! Well, I don't care what she says, me and Manny are going to have a great time, and tonight I'm changing my name'

"Emma? Are you okay?" Manny asked snapping Emma out of her trance.

"What? Oh, yeah I'm fine, just thinking." Emma answered

"Okay, that's good, I didn't want you getting sick or anything before the party." Manny said.

"Don't worry, nothing could keep me from this party!" Emma said.

"That's the spirit!" Manny said with her usual cheerful mood.

The girls just hung out watching TV all day until 6:00.

"Come on! Lets get ready, the party starts at 6:30." Manny said.

"Okay, lets go downstairs." Emma said.

It took Manny and Emma 45 minutes to get ready.

"Wow, Em, you look hot." Manny said.

"Thanks, so do you." Emma said uneasy.

"I didn't mean it that way."

"Oh I know."

"Okay, whatever, lets just go."

15 minutes later Manny and Emma arrive at the party making it 6:50.

"We're a little late, but that's good, we don't want to make it look like we lived for this party or anything." Manny said with a little laugh.

"Yeah, but promise me, you won't ditch me leaving me by myself." Emma told Manny.

"Okay, I promise, I won't leave you alone." Manny reassured her.

Emma and Manny finally knocked on the door of the house party. When someone who looked very familiar to Manny opened the door.

"Hey ladies come on in! "The guy said.

Emma and Manny spotted Jimmy when they walked in. He was standing alone. Which was a surprise to Emma. Emma saw Manny staring at Jimmy.

"Go talk to him" Emma told Manny.

"No! I can't." Manny said.

"Yes, you can!" Emma said.

"No! I can't, I promised I wouldn't leave you!"

"It's okay! You like him, now go!" Emma pushed Manny a little causing Jimmy to turn around.

"Hey Manny!" Jimmy said smiling.

"Uh, hi Jimmy" Manny said shyly.

"You wanna dance?" Jimmy asked.

Manny looked at Emma. Emma looked back at her giving her a face to go ahead. Emma walked over to the refreshment table, to get a drink and someone came up beside her.

"Hey, you on the spirit squad?" The guy asked.

"No, why do you ask?" Emma asked.

"Just wondering, so let me take a look at you."

"Umm, okay." Emma said uneasy.

"Don't worry, I just wanted to see your shirt"

'Emma, come on, your going to change your image tonight! Don't be chicken.'

"Oh, I knew that, so what's your name? "Emma asked.

"My name's Dean, what's yours?"

"Emma."

"Emma, that's a beautiful name."

"Thanks."

"Your very beautiful"

"I am?"

"Yeah. You want a drink? "

Emma nods. Dean went to go get Emma a drink. Then came back.

"Here ya go." Dean said.

"Thanks" Emma said. She took a sip and coughed, and tried to laugh it off.

"You want to go dance?" Dean asked Emma.

"Sure."

After a while Emma started to get a little "Drunk."

(But enough about her!)

"So, Manny, you got a boyfriend?" Jimmy asked.

"No, do you? I mean have a girlfriend? "Manny giggled.

"Nope. It's a surprise to how a beautiful girl like you doesn't have a boyfriend."

"Well, it's a surprise that such a cute guy like you doesn't have a girlfriend."

Jimmy laughed. "Really?"

"Yeah really. "Manny smiled.

"Well, do you want to change that?" Jimmy asked.

"Are you asking..."

"Yeah, I want you to be my girlfriend."

"Do you always get what you want?" Manny smiled then leaned in and kissed Jimmy which lead to a make-out session.

(Back to Emma!)

Dean and Emma had stopped dancing and were now talking.

"So you want to go upstairs? Somewhere more quite?" Dean asked Emma.

"Sure." Emma said smiling.

((A/N: Cliffhanger! Ha! Well, anyway, things are getting a little bit closer, so now you know who and all. But what happens afterwards??? Hmmm..... Okay, you you all know you want to, so reply away! : - D ))
