Now that Emma wasn't speaking to Manny, she could focus all her energy on the play. Or at least that's the advice Spike gave her, and usually any advice her mom gave her was worth taking. She walked to school a different way, the way that didn't pass Manny's house. She wondered if Marco was right, would Manny really come crawling back to her. Frankly she didn't give a damn. She was happier without her.

"Hey Dylan?" Marco asked walking up to Dylan's locker taking Emma's advice.
"Yea?" Dylan turned around.
God he was so cute, why was Marco listening to Emma? It was because he knew in his heart that she was right. He liked Dylan, so why didn't he just ask him out.
"There's a rave Friday night,do you wanna go?" Marco asked waiting for the answer.
"With you, sure." Dylan smiled.
He did it, he faced his fears and asked Dylan out, he had to tell Ellie, no not Ellie, Emma.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"That's great. Where are you going?" Emma asked.
"There's a rave Friday night."
"Oh, one I didn't know about." Emma replied a little upset she didn't know about it.
"Well, now you know. You should come."
"And be a third wheel, no way."
"Then invite someone to go with you."
"Maybe...but, what if I see Manny?" Emma was curious.
"You'll be having too much fun with me & Dylan & whoever you bring that it'll be like she's not even there." Marco offered.
"Okay, I'll go." Emma smiled.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Emma called Chris as soon as she got home. She really couldn't care less if he went with her, but she didn't want to be a third wheel.
"Hey Chris, It's Emma. There's a rave Friday night, and I was wondering if you wanted to go. Call me back ASAP and let me know." Emma spoke into the answering machine.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
At about 10 PM Ellie instant messaged Marco.
NOLabels: Are you going to the rave on Friday?
BaddaBoom: Yea, y?
NOLabels: Just wondering, do you wanna ride up with us?
BaddaBoom: Sorry, I'm riding up with someone already.
NOLabels: Okay, whatever I'll see you there.
Marco logged off grinning, he may see Ellie and Sean at the rave, but he had a date, all thanks to Emma. He hoped she found someone to go with her on Friday. They'd all have a good time.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The phone rang.
"Hello." Emma asked.
"It's Chris."
"Hey, did you get my message?"
"Yea, I'd love to go with you."
"Great, Marco & Dylan will pick me up at quarter to 7, so they'll pick you up around 7." Emma grinned.
"Okay, see you then." Chris hung up.
Emma'd tell Marco at rehearsal that she had a date for Friday.

At Tuesday's rehearsal Paige and Ashley were working together trying to get used to their new parts while the rest of the cast was working on the choreography.
"I hate this handjive." J.T complained.
"Get over it." Jimmy, who was also having trouble with the handjive, replied.
"I like it," Toby boasted "It's easy."
"Yea, because you're doing it wrong." Terri laughed.
"Less talking more dancing." Ms.Kwan directed.
"Oh, hey Marco, I found someone to bring on Friday." Emma told him.
"Great," Marco smiled "I'm looking forward to it."
"Me too."
"A little faster, everyone." Ms. Kwan said.
When rehearsal was over Marco and Emma decided to walk home. Dylan was in his car outside the auditorium, waiting for Paige.
"Wanna lift?" He asked
"Sure." The two replied getting in.
They could hardly wait until Friday.
