Manders: Here's more Spot
Lindi: I definitely think that would be funny if you did that
The next Friday during P.E.
"Soo, Palette, have you been asked to Homecoming yet?" Manders said, silently hoping Palette had been asked so she wouldn't have to play matchmaker.
"Not really." Palette said trying to sound nonchalant, though it didn't work.
"You mean Blink hasn't asked you yet?" Lindi said shocked. The two had been 'dating' for almost two months now.
"If Race managed to ask me, then I'm sure Blink will ask you." Petals said, patting Palette on the back trying to cheer her up.
"I'm okay with it." Palette said, then after seeing the disbelieving looks on their faces, "Seriously, anyway I'm going to ask him if he's going after school."
"I thought I heard him say something 'bout going." Lindi said thoughtfully.
"But the question is, 'Is he planning on going with anyone other than his friends?'" Manders said thinking out loud.
"I heard his friends ask him if he was going to ask anyone or if he was going to go by himself." Petals said with the look of someone who knew more than she told.
"Did he happen to mention who he was going to ask?" Manders asked hopefully.
"I didn't happen to catch that part of the conversation." Petals said with a mischievous sparkle in her eyes.
"Oh, really? I somehow can't believe that." Manders exclaimed with a mischievous grin on her face.
"Well, then I s'pose you'll just have to get it out of me." She said running out of the locker room.
"Oh, I'm sure I'll find a way to get you to talk." Manders said grinning mischievously as she followed Petals.
"Don't hurt her till after Homecoming, Manders!" Lindi said running to catch up to the two.
"Just leave me why doncha." Palette said teasingly as she headed for the softball field where the P.E. class was held.
"Manders, I'm worried about her." Petals said when Palette was out of earshot, " The banquet's tomorrow, and Blink hasn't asked her yet. I mean when does she think he'll ask her?" Petals said flustered about what they were gonna do for their friend.
"Well, if he doesn't ask her by the end of P.E. today, I'll make sure he asks her before she leaves the school campus." Manders said resolutely.
"And how, pray tell, can he do that? Remember we have SEPARATE p.e. classes." Lindi said matter-of-factly.
"We have co-ed p.e. today, 'cause coach's gone." Manders said smirking.
"Oh, and how are you gonna make him ask her before she leaves school then, huh?" Petals retorted.
"That's why Spot has an imagination." Manders said smiling.
After hearing his name, " What's this I hear 'bout my imagination?" he demanded.
"Well, Blink is being stupid and hasn't asked Palette to the banquet." Manders stated.
"And, lemme guess, if he doesn't ask her by 3:00, I would have to do something about it." Spot said, recalling what Manders had said last week about Race and Petals.
"Something like that." Manders said innocently.
"You're so predictable." Spot commented.
"Hey, I think Blink is going to ask her finally." Lindi said excitedly.
"Palette. hey, Palette, can I talk to you for a minute?" Kid Blink asked.
Startled from her thoughts, she said, "Huh?"
"Can I speak to you for a minute?" Blink asked hesitantly.
"Oh, of course." Palette said now thoroughly confused as to why Blink was asking her the question.
After taking a deep breath Blink finally asked, "Will you go to Homecoming with me?"
"Yes!" She shrieked, then hit him on the arm "Why didn't you ask me earlier?"
"Because my parents told me just this morning that I could go." Blink stated.
"Oh." Palette said satisfied with his answer.
"So you finally asked her." Lindi said as she, Petals, Manders, and Spot walked up, while Petals was muttering something about guys being stupid and not asking earlier.
"Good, I wasn't looking forward to having to hurt you later." Spot said relieved that he didn't have anything to do with matchmaking the last couple weeks.
"Huh?" Blink said with a confused look on his face.
"Never mind." Spot and Manders said simultaneously.
