Under forced circumstances (Just joshing' you!), I had to write this chapter today.

Grammar:

Joshing- kidding, joking, playing around, pulling your leg and/or chain

Disclaimer: I am so excited, that I forgot what I didn't own! But, I do have a blurry vision of owning a jolly rancher…ha! See any of my one shot to understand the jolly rancher thing.

Why am I excited? Because this chapter, it the BIG DANCE!

I know you really want to read, so, I won't stop you. Go right ahead!


Tonight. Tonight was my night. My plan had to work, or I'd suffer major consequences. So far, everything was going great. We were on our way to the diner now. Abby and Jamie were both in the same rabbit costume. They both had pink noses and whiskers painted onto their faces. They looked like total dorks. They were only trying to win the 'Princess Of Costumes' tonight. There was also one for the guys though too.

Many things were running through my mind. But something always landed on Raven. It was like she was trying to scare me. She was going, but she was hardly going to see Robin. She was going with Red-X. Word has it, he asked her out this morning in chemistry.

"You need me to go in with you?" Rachel said sarcastically as she stopped. I climbed out of the car. "No." I replied grimly.

"Good." She said.

"Have fun loser!" Jamie yelled as they drove off. I nodded and ran to the back. Aqua Lad was already waiting there in his Zorro costume.

"Whoa." I laughed.

"You like?" He asked turning around so I could see the whole costume.

"Yeah. I do." I said. Aqua Lad threw me the bag with my dress, lip-gloss, shoes and mask in. I ran into the diner from the back door.

"Thank you guys so much!" I yelled to Sarasim and Mammoth. A guy that was filling in for Beast Boy who was going to the dance with his girlfriend Terra. I ran into the bathroom and quickly changed. Then, I ran out.

"Let's go." Aqua Lad said hoping into his silver convertible. I giggled and opened the car door. Then, we were off to the dance. Aqua Lad dropped me off at the front and then went to go find a parking spot. Robin was by the door waiting. He was dressed as prince charming. A perfect costume for him. I strolled over to him. Jamie and Abby waddling in the side door got caught at the corner of my eye.

"You must be Cinderella." He said in a sly voice.

"That I am." I said also in a sly voice with a touch of giggles. Robin escorted me into the gymnasium. There were many people in there. Red-X was over by Raven in a black suit with a red-x across his chest, and he had a skull mask on and a black cape.

Raven had on a black dress exactly like mine with a slit on the side only she had on big black boots. Lightning bolts hung from her ears and she had on a matching necklace. She also had a white mask on with a thin black trim (Like Robin's). And to top it all off, she died her hair. I never knew A-listers tried so hard.

She shot me a mean glare already knowing I was Cinderella Star101. But Red-X saw me first and held Raven's hand and led her to another spot in the gym. Robin stopped in the middle of the gym. People were dancing all around us, but it felt like we were the only ones there.


Aqua Lad's POV

Zorro, who was really me under the mask, ran through the doors. The hot, sassy A-list girls that would never talk to me were staring straight at me. Some of them smiled and waved daintily, while others got right to the point and blew kisses at me. I just strode past them like they do to me.

"Hey. Zorro." One came running up to me. I turned around only to find Kitten standing there.

"I am sorry. I did not see you there." I lied trying to sound big, brave, and powerful. Kitten giggled, grabbed my hand, and led me to the dance floor. I caught Kori and Robin in the corner of my eye. I smiled at the thought of actually helping her for once. But really, she's the one that did it.

She met Robin on the Internet, had Robin fall in love with her on the Internet, and all I did was go on the Instant Messenger program on her phone, and ask Robin to the dance. Okay, so I did have a part in this whole plan, but she had her hard work cut out for her too.

"Hey buddy!" I heard some guy scream at me. I turned around. Speedy was storming closer and closer towards me.

"I thought you were moving." I said.

"Yeah, next week. Which gives me plenty of time to beat on you! Kitten is my girl! So back off!" He screamed kicking me in the back. I fell off the small, inside balcony and landed on the floor. Red-X and Raven were hovering over me with puzzled looks on their faces.

"Why hello ther- I got cut off with Speedy's foot in my mouth. He just jumped off an inside balcony because Kitten pulled me onto the dance floor. How stupid is this guy? I can't believe he's Robin's best friend!

"Hey! Listen up! Kitten is the one who brought me out onto the dance floor!" I screamed while I pulled his mask away from his face then snapped it back. Speedy fell backwards and his head went into one of the punch bowls.

"Oops." I whispered. Thank God he didn't know who I was under my Zorro mask. Because if he did, he'd pound on me for the next week then tell his friend to finish the job off for the next four years.

'Note to self: Get into a collage on the other side of the country.' I thought as I jumped onto the dessert table and then back flipped onto another. Then I kept running table from table while hearing everybody gasp as they saw me.

"I feel like Batman!" I yelled jokingly as I ran past Robin and Kori. They both gasped at the same time while only seeing a black flash of me in my Zorro costume.

Then I almost ran into Kitten.

"Speedy! Speedy stop!" She cried as she waved her arms up in the air. I turned around only to see a pissed off Speedy running towards me.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" I kept on running.

"Speedy no!" Kitten cried again. Then she took out her flip phone.

"Daddy! I don't care about your stupid mutant worm things! I'm trying to enjoy my dance!" She screamed before throwing her phone on the ground and stomping after Speedy and me.

Good thing she wasn't wear a gown type dress. She was wearing a little dress with spaghetti straps that went a little higher than her knees. It was a lavender dress with a matching tiara and white sash. She also had white knee-high boots on. Her lips were tinted with lip-gloss and her eyes shimmered with white sparkly eye shadow.

Then, I stopped short. Speedy almost banged into me but I stopped him by kicking him in the chest. Speedy fell back ward onto the floor. I jumped up into the air.

"No you see me," I kicked him in the eyes. "now you don't!" I screamed. Everybody around me was looking at me. And I landed in the worst spot. Right next to Robin and Kori. Then, Robin started to clap. That made everybody start clapping. Kori started to laugh. I smiled triumphantly.

Then the intercom came on.

"We will be picking the new Prince and Princess of 2005 in ten minutes. Please send in the last votes now." Then the music started again. It was 'Dream Lover' by Mariah Carey.

"Get outta here!" Kori whispered as she pointed with her thumb in another direction. Kitten grabbed my hand and ran away with me. She brought me into a corner and started making out wit me. I'd prefer Bee or Raven, but Kitten will do-for now.


Kori's POV

"Do you believe in love at first sight?" Robin asked.

"Only in dreams." I replied.

"And what if this was a dream?" Robin asked again.

"Then I'd never wanna wake up." I whispered in his ear as he hugged me into his strong embrace. I wrapped my arms gently around his neck as he toyed with my hair.

Then the intercom came on again.

"Will everybody please come to the front of the gymnasium. It's time to announce the prince and princess of this school, 2005." Robin took my hand and led me to the big stage that was placed in the front of the gym.

There was the principal of the school standing in the middle of the stage. Her hair was long, black, and tangle peppered with gray. She had dark purple lipstick on and a one-piece shirt and pants together interlocked with a shiny belt. She had heart shaped sunglasses on. Robin and I tried not to laugh. Then my cell phone started to ring.

It was another text message from Aqua Lad.

'Meet me in the second parking section in the front of the school. We have to go your step mom and witchy step sister are gunna get to the diner an second.' My eyes popped out of my head as I read that.

"Robin, I'm really sorry. But I have to go." I said running out the door.

"Wait! He didn't even tell me your name!" He ran after me. I picked up the bottom of my skirt so I wouldn't trip over it, then I ran as fast as I could hoping Robin wouldn't run after me.

"Hey! You dropped you phone!" Robin called. I only heard a muffled sound because I was too far away from him.


Robin's POV

I picked up her cell phone with a sad sigh. I didn't even get her name.

"And the prince and princess of this school, 2005, is Robin Wayne and…and… Cinderella?" The principal said.

That was us. I didn't care about the stupid, cheap plastic crowns. They could keep them. I just wanted to know her name.


Kori's POV

"We have to go now." Aqua Lad said as I jumped into the car he same time he did. Then he fixed his eyes on one thing.

"What?" I asked trying to look for what he was.

"There's you step mom and sisters." Aqua Lad said. Rachel back up and her car landed right next to Aqua Lad's.

"Mom look! There's Kori!" Jamie screamed pointing to Aqua Lad's car. I ducked then Rachel look over. Aqua Lad stupidly waved and smiled at Rachel. Abby gave Aqua Lad the loser sign.

"C'mon mom! We gotta get to the diner! Now!" Jamie screamed. Rachel put her foot on the pedal and the car accelerated at a quick speed.

"Shoot!" Aqua Lad scream as he peeled the car around and raced after them.

"Go Aqua Lad! Take the back road!" I yelled pointing right. He nodded and slipped out of the long line of cars.

"Mom! They went that way!" Abby screamed. Rachel tried to peel a sharp turn too but her big escalade couldn't. Instead, it flip over. The sunroof crack and then the car flipped over on its wheels again.

Aqua Lad's car slipped into the diner's parking lot and almost hit the sign. I was already in the back of the diner. Rachel's escalade landed in the parking lot and the back hit the sign. Then sign swung over and fell on top of Aqua Lad's car. He quickly jump out.

"No!" He screamed. But it was too late. The sign had already fallen on top of his car, and Rachel, Jamie and Abby were already inside.

"Where's Kori?" Rachel asked Sarasim and Mammoth. They both looked up at Rachel and the girls.

"I'm right here!" I screamed popping up behind the counter.

"Did you have a good time at the dance?" I asked. "Did you win Princess' of the school, 2005?" I asked them again while washing a pot.

"No. Some twit in a mask won. People were calling her Cinderella." Jamie said.

"Let's get out of here girls." Rachel said snapping her fingers. The girls hopped out behind their mothers.

"Whoa." Mammoth said astoundingly. "I dunno how you did that…uhh…but..um.." He drifted off. I smirked. Let's face it; Mammoth wasn't the brightest light bulb. Sarasim giggled.

"Well done." She laughed. I smiled at her. She smiled back. Then I look down. I had put my black diner shirt over the top of my dress, and then my pink apron over my shirt. My dress was under both layers of dratty clothing.

"Wow. It' worked." I said laughing. Mammoth and Sarasim started to laugh too.


There you have it. I hoped you enjoyed. It was really hard writing this chapter for some reason. Days. About a week I just kept starting at the screen trying to scrap up a few ideas. Then my sister Ivy came home with the movie. She had gone shopping for movies. She got just about twenty good movies. A Cinderella Story was one of them. I watched it about five times every day. Finally I had an idea.

So, there you have it. Whoa, I just repeated myself. Lol. Please read and review.

And remember. Just because the dance happened, doesn't mean the story is over…anyway.

I now need ten good reviews to move on. Have fun reviewing! Lol.
