People started to come to the party. First, Manny and Craig arrived. Then everyone else came. There were so many people at the party.
"This is such an awesome party," said Manny.
"Yeah, it's a shame it's all for Toby!" screamed Jimmy over the noise.
"Jimmy, please. Be nice. Toby's had it hard for a while," said Ashley.
"Fine," said Jimmy.
"You're a good dancer Manny," said Craig. "Maybe you can teach me a few moves!"
"You're not so bad yourself!" said Manny, kissing Craig on the cheek.
Ashley is watching them from the side of the living room.
"Give me a second Manny," said Craig, pulling Ashley to the side.
"Look Ashley, I'm really sorry for breaking your heart and for everything horrible I've done to you. But I think you've moved on and so have I."
"Yeah, to Manny!" Ashley replied.
"Ashley, I really like her now and since you're with Jimmy and all---"
"Oh please, we are not together!"
"Well anyways, I hope that we can still be friends because I don't want you to hate my guts for the rest of my life."
Ashley hesitates.
"I don't want to lose you either, so I guess we'll always be friends."
Ashley and Craig hug, then they get back to the party.
"Is everything okay with Ashley?" Manny asked curiously.
"I think so," said Craig.
"Ashley! I'm really sorry for everything I've done too, I hope that there's still a little friendship for us too."
"You were wrong, but I can't hate you forever, so I guess I can forgive you too."
"Now everything is better!" Manny said, and Craig hugs her.
"I've never had so much fun in my life!" screamed Emma. "My parents are out and I'm having the coolest party! That makes me even cooler!"
"You've always been cool, Em." said Chris, kissing her.
"I know!" said Emma.
"Hey JT," Liberty said. "I can see you're dateless."
"And I can see you are too, so please go away." said JT.
"Since we're both here, we might as well go out there and dance!" said Liberty, pulling JT by the hand.
"I guess so," said JT, looking around for Paige. Then he sees her enter the party with Spinner and Hazel.
"I really don't feel like partying so can we go?" asked Paige.
"Why not? I thought you enjoyed parties!" said Spinner.
"Well her last party wasn't so satisfying," said Hazel.
"Look Paige, I won't let JT lay a hand on you. I promise." said Spinner.
"That's very sweet Spinner, but---"
"So let's go dance!" Spinner shouted, interrupting Paige.
"Okay." said Paige.
"I'm going to go get a drink." said Hazel.
Marco is standing by the punch table. He sees Dylan hanging around with some friends.
"Oh hey Marco," Hazel said.
"Hi Hazel, so who are you here with?" asked Marco.
"Paige and Spinner." said Hazel.
"Not with Jimmy?" asked Marco.
"Well I sorta kinda assumed he was with Ashley after I saw those pictures on my locker, but I don't believe it." said Hazel.
"Aren't you going to apologize to him and Ashley? Because I know for a fact that Ashley didn't do anything with him, I talked to her." said Marco.
"Yeah, but what about you and Dylan?" asked Hazel. "I mean he's really pissed about the rumors and stuff. I don't really think he'd say all that stuff because he probably knows that you're not ready for it."
"You're right, maybe I should talk to him," said Marco.
"Hey Hazel and Marco, what are you talking about?" asked Ellie.
"He's going to talk to Dylan," said Hazel. "I'll see ya later Marco."
"Later Hazel," said Marco.
"This party is fun, except the problem is that it's at Emma's house." Sean said.
"Just don't run into her or... Chris." said Ellie.
Sean smirks and then the door bell rings.
"Oh my god! It's Toby! Hide everyone!" screamed Ashley.
Emma opens the door.
"Um, hey Emma. So what's the problem with your computer?" Toby asked.
"Surprise!" Ashley screamed as well as other people at the party. Some others, including Ellie and Sean, didn't scream anything.
"What's going on?" Toby asked completely confused.
"I know how bad your life has been and I was hoping we could throw you a surprise party, and it worked! So what do you think?" asked Ashley.
"Um... thanks?" said Toby.
"Good enough!" said Emma. "Now back to the party."
Everyone starts dancing and eating again.
JT comes up to Toby making him a little upset.
"What are you doing here?" asked Toby. "The surprise party is for me, not you. So go!"
"This is Emma's house, so I can stay. She invited me too!" said JT. He turned around and went in search for Paige.
"Uh Paige, we need to---"
"Stay away from her, you stupid curly fried freak, or else I'll get all up in your fries!" said Spinner.
"Spin, stop it!" screamed Paige.
"No, you stay away from my girlfriend, got it? She's MY girlfriend," said Spinner.
JT doesn't even stick up for himself instead he just walks away.
"Okay, stop the music," Ashley shouted.
People on the dance floor start to complain.
"Okay first I want to say that this party is for Toby because he recently lost his best friend and girlfriend , is there anything you'd like to say Toby?" asked Ashley.
"Yeah. I did it. It was me."
