The next day, Odd woke up before Ulrich. He went to the cafeteria for breakfast. He noticed a flyer posted up near the trays so he went to check it out. It was information about the dance.
"Let's see what they have here," said Odd. "Dance is on Friday night, formal attire, and time is from 7:30 to 9:30. What?! Only two hours? That's it? I can't believe it! That's not enough time to spend with Lily!"
While Odd was going crazy over this, someone poked him several times on his back. He looked back and saw that it was Theo.
"Oh, hey Theo."
"You were screaming a little too loud," said Theo. "So I guess you found out that the dance was two hours, huh?"
"Yea, I mean two hours is not long enough to party."
"There's going to be another party after the dance outside the ice cream store. It lasts from 10:00 to 12:00."
"Why not 9:30?" asked Odd
"That gives us time to change and get ready into party clothes instead of wearing tuxes unless you want to wear yours there..."
"No, no that's okay. So who's invited?"
"Everyone from the dance," replied Theo.
"Okay, thanks."
"Tell whoever you can."
"I will."
Odd was excited from the news that he ate a bigger breakfast than usual. Ulrich woke up and noticed Odd was gone.
"He must be eating breakfast already," he thought.
Ulrich found Odd gobbling up his breakfast in the cafeteria.
"Uh oh, he looks really hungry. I better grab some food before he eats it all."
"Good morning Ulrich," said Odd.
"Yea, morning. Why did you wake up so early?"
"I was hungry. Hey are you going to eat your bread?"
"Yea, and don't even think about stealing my pancakes."
"They have pancakes? I must've missed that. Be right back."
"Same old Odd," thought Ulrich. "I'm glad he found Lily."
Odd came back with a stack of pancakes. Ulrich noticed that he had a huge grin on his face. "What are you so happy about? Let me guess, it's Lily."
"Eh, kind of, hey, you know how the dance was two hours?" asked Odd.
"It was?" asked Ulrich.
"Yea, well anyways, Theo said that there was going to be a party after the dance outside the ice cream store from 10 to 12."
"Sounds like fun."
"Yep," replied Odd.
"Oh Ulrich dear," said an annoying voice behind him.
"It's Sissy, isn't it?" said Ulrich.
"Yep," replied Odd.
"What do you want?" asked Ulrich while turning his head towards Sissy .
"Are you going to the dance with anyone?" asked Sissy.
"Yea."
"Is the lucky girl me?"
"No."
Sissy scoffed. "Don't tell me it's Yumi or her ugly little cousin."
"I'm going with Yumi, jealous?"
"Hmmf, fine, I'll ask your brother. I'll bet he'll go with the prettiest girl in school."
"The prettiest pathetic girl," cracked Odd.
Ulrich and Odd started to laugh really hard.
"Hey look, Jeremy and Ulchi are awake," said Odd. He waved at them.
Sissy saw Ulchi, and she decided to make her move. She stepped in front of him so she could block him from sitting with Ulrich.
"Excuse me," said Ulchi, "you're in my way,"
"How polite, unlike your brother Ulrich," said Sissy. "I'll let you take the prettiest girl in school to the dance."
"Who's that?"
"Me!"
"Umm... no thanks," said Ulchi.
"Why not?" screamed Sissy.
"I already have a date."
"You're new to this school, and you already found a date?"
"Yep."
"Fine, what about the party after the dance. Will you go with me then?"
"Nope, I'm going with my date."
"Is she prettier than me?"
"Yep."
"Yea right. So who's this pathetic little girl?"
"Mimi, and for your information, she's not pathetic, but I know who is."
"Who?" asked Sissy.
"She's standing right in front of me."
"Wha? Ahhhh!" Sissy was furious from that remark.
"I'll take you to the dance," said Herb.
"Eww no," replied Sissy.
"It's so sad," said Odd. "She can't even get a date even if a nerd asked her."
The boys started laughing. "You'll be sorry," said Sissy.
"Sorry is that person who is your date," said Odd.
"Arrgg," screamed Sissy. Then she stormed out of the cafeteria with Herb and Nicolas behind her.
"You showed her," said Jeremy.
"Hey, have you guys heard about the party after the dance?" asked Odd.
"Yea," said Ulchi.
"Are you going?"
"Yep," replied Ulchi.
"What about you Jeremy?" asked Ulrich.
"If Aelita wants to go, then I'll go," said Jeremy.
"Great," said Odd. "I'll call Lily and ask if she wants to go."
After breakfast, Odd called Lily and asked her if she wanted to go to the party. Ulrich called Yumi about the party too. Lily agreed to go, and Yumi asked Aelita and Mimi if they wanted to go. After Aelita and Mimi agreed, she told Ulrich that the three of them will be happy to go. Back at Yumi's house, Mimi and Aelita were jumping up and down.
"Yay, another party," said Mimi.
"This is going to be so much fun," said Aelita.
"We need to go get our dresses today," said Yumi.
"Wait" said Mimi. "I need to call Lily and tell her to come over here. I promised her that she could come shopping with us today."
"Sure," said Yumi.
Mimi quickly ran to her room and began dialing Lily's number. "Hello, Lily?"
"Yes, this is Lily."
"Hey, this is Mimi."
"Hey Mimi! So what's up? You hardly ever call ever since you transferred."
"Ready to go shopping today?"
"Sure, I'll come over right now. Oh, and have you heard about the party after the dance? I was so excited after Odd called me."
"Yea, I heard about it."
"Are you going, because I am."
"Of course I'm going."
"Is it okay if I stayed at your house during the day of the dance? It will be so much easier."
"Like as in a sleepover and preparing for the dance?"
"Yea," said Lily.
"Let me go ask Yumi, hold on."
Mimi ran out of her room to look in the living room for Yumi, but instead, she found Aelita sitting on the couch. "Hey Aelita, have to seen Yumi?"
"She went into the kitchen."
"Okay, thanks."
Mimi rushed into the kitchen and found Yumi looking for something in the cabinets. "Whacha looking for?" asked Mimi.
"The money Mom and Dad left for us to go shopping."
"Where are they anyways?"
"Didn't they tell you?" asked Yumi.
"Tell me what?" asked Mimi.
"Dad left for a business trip this morning and he won't be back for a week and a half, and Mom went to get groceries at the store. Oh yea, and Mom said that she's leaving on Thursday night to go take care of grandma at the hospital, and she said she won't be back until Sunday morning."
"So, Auntie and Uncle won't mind if Lily stays here on the night of the dance, like sleeping over?"
"I'll call Mom and ask her right now. Hold on."
Mimi quickly ran back into her room to talk to Lily.
"Hey," said Mimi.
"So what did your aunt and uncle say?"
"Yumi's asking right now, hold on."
A minute later, Yumi yelled something across the hall. "What?" yelled Mimi.
"My mom said its okay, as long as we come home right after the party, like straight home and stay home. She said any friends can come over and sleepover if they want."
"Cool," replied Mimi. "Wow, Auntie is being lenient today."
"Hey Lily, my aunt said that it's okay."
"Great, I'll come over right now. Then we'll go..."
"Shopping!" said the both of them.
"Found the money," said Yumi. "Ready to go?"
"Yep, as soon as Lily gets here."
"Okay," replied Yumi.
About 10 minutes, Lily arrived. "I'm here," she said. "Let's go shopping now.
"I want a pink dress," said Aelita.
"Cool," said Lily. "I might get a light colored dress. I'll see what they have."
"What do we do after we buy the dresses?" asked Aelita.
"We'll get shoes," replied Mimi. "And Lily and I can do everyone's hair before the dance."
"What do I wear to the party after the dance?" asked Aelita.
"Well, you can borrow some of my clothes," said Mimi.
"And you can borrow some of mine if you want," said Lily.
"Okay, let's going now," said Yumi. "Today's the only day when we have time to go shopping. The dance is in five days."
"I can't wait," thought Yumi. "I'll be with Ulrich for almost the whole night. It's going to be so romantic, like yesterday, after the sunset."
At the dorms, Ulchi was saying to the guys, "Should we get the girls something? Like flowers?"
"Yea, I guess we should," said Ulrich.
"I know what color flowers to get for Aelita," said Jeremy, "pink ones."
"And we need to rent tuxes too," said Ulrich
"I'm not wearing any penguin suit," said Odd.
"But it's formal," said Jeremy.
"I'll wear a nice shirt, a tie, nice pants, and black fancy-like shoes, but I'm not wearing a jacket," said Odd.
"Same here," Ulrich and Ulchi.
"I'll be the only one wearing a jacket then," said Jeremy.
"Go ahead, no one is stopping you," said Odd.
"I wonder what Aelita will say?" said Ulrich in a threat-like voice.
"That's right," panicked Jeremy. "Will she think I'm not cool? I'll just wear what you guys wear."
"Alright Einstein!" cheered Odd. "One of the cool guys, haha."
"Let's go get ready," said Ulchi. "Today's the only day when we have time."
"Sure," said the rest of the guys.
"Five more days, and I get to dance with my Yumi," thought Ulrich. "I can't wait."
"Let's see what they have here," said Odd. "Dance is on Friday night, formal attire, and time is from 7:30 to 9:30. What?! Only two hours? That's it? I can't believe it! That's not enough time to spend with Lily!"
