a/n: I got this idea last night. Sorry about the last chapter, that day I was really pissed at some girls resembling Joy and her posse and needed to blow off steam. This'll probably be way better.

5:44 p.m. (Trisha's view)

After Ariel finally left, we all decided to leave. We all went our separate ways. As I walked past the school, I saw something shocking: Lil was talking to Joy and Ariel! I hid behind a tree and listened. This is all I heard:

"Lil, you've got talent. We want you to join our band," Joy was saying.

Lil replied, "I dunno. I mean, I'm more called to rock music than dance..."

"Listen to me. If you don't give us a positive reply within ten seconds, it's adios to you."

She thought. After ten seconds, I heard a crunching sound and two sets of feet running away, giggling maliciously. I looked up. "OH MY GOSH! LIL!" Her unconscious figure lay sprawled out on the gravel. I got out my cell phone and dialed.

"Hello?"

"Hi, Tommy. It's Trisha. You better get over to the school. Bad news."

"Wha...?"

"PLEASE!"

"OK, I'm on my way. Bye."

I hung up and stared through the fence at the figure again. To my relief, I heard footsteps. I looked over at Tommy, then pointed to Lil's facedown body near the tetherball pole. He looked over and gasped. I figured this would be a little sad for two people to bear, so I ran toward home, leaving him alone with Lil.

5:58 p.m. (Tommy's view)

I knelt down on the ground near Lil. Thankfully, she was still alive. After numerous attempts at trying to get her to wake up, I gave up and sat there, wondering what had happened. After five minutes of complete silence, she came to her senses and wearily sat up.

"Uggghhh...what happened?"

"I don't know either. You'll have to ask Trisha."

"We'll have to get Joy later. I think it was her."

"What'd she do?"

"I'm not sure. First, she asked me to be in her dumb band. She gave me ten seconds to say yes. I couldn't bring myself to do it, so the next thing I know, I get shoved into the tetherball pole...ughh...my head hurts. Is anything bleeding?"

"A little. You want me to bring you home?"

"Sure. We should probably hurry, since Dad'll be home soon, and if he finds out about this, I'll never get let out of the house again."

I figured out that more than a little of her face and hands were bleeding. Whoever did this to her is going to suffer, I swear. I love Lil and never want anything like this to happen to her again. When we got to her house, she said, "It's OK, I can make it from here. Thanks, Tommy." I smiled shyly and walked towards my home.

6:23 p.m. (Kimi's view)

I just got a call from Phil. Apparently, Lil got attacked today. I arrived at her house to see her surrounded by a few visitors (Trisha, Tommy, Chuckie, Susie, and Angelica) and bloodstained tissues. I stood next to Trisha and whispered something in her ear. She nodded. I got out my outdated cell phone and pushed on the buttons so hard I almost dislocated my finger. When Ariel picked up the phone, I had a little conversation with her.

"Y'ello?"

"Ariel, you piece of crap, what the heck did you do to Lil?"

"What are you talking about? I can't understand."

"OH, YES YOU DO! You attacked her because she wasn't willing to help you defeat us!"

"Pardon?" Now she was really making me mad. I walked outside to finish due to the noise level.

"YOU STUPID SLUT! YOU COULD'VE KILLED HER!" I screamed into the phone.

"Ohhh, that. You've got the wrong girl. Joy did it."

"Fine. But if you EVER come near my friends again, your eye will be so bruised, you won't be able to use it for a month!" I warned. I hung up the phone and ran back inside, my face burning with anger and vengeance.

a/n: Good, another chapter done. I know it's a little depressing what happened to Lil, but it's mostly an excuse for Tommy and Lil together. Oh, and lil-wolfgirl, there will be more romance, I just need this story to last longer. I'll put some PK in next chapter.
