Chapter Three: Day in spring.
A/n: Thanks to everyone who reviewed.
To those who want to know about the book, it comes in three titles. The most common as far as I can see is under the title HOW I CREATED MY PERFECT PROM DATE. They do have a version called DRIVE ME CRAZY but I believe that may be not in print anymore. The last one, which is for sure out of print, is GIRL GIVES BIRTH TO PROM DATE. All are by Todd Strasser. Which reminds me. Some of the things they have in the book defer from the movie (I found 'Laura' is actually called Sue *but she shall remain Laura in this story* and it is MERIS not MERIS) so I will use both, but some of events of the book I will make their junior year.
2nd A/n: I decided after a lot of thinking and no ideas that I would not put the scene that was going to go here. If you really want me to put it in I will, I just have to have an idea first.

Chase, Ray, and Dave were laying on the back patio of Dave's house looking at the stars. The three girls had fallen asleep and were now in bed so they had went outside and sat in lawn chairs with the backs facing each other.
"When was the last time we did this?"
"What? Sitting on the patio?" Dave asked, knowing full well what Chase meant.
"No."
"Looking at the stars…. Not since our junior year, I think. We were waiting for DghterJudy for the first time. Wonder why it happened twice?" Ray and Chase tried not to laugh, knowing full well that the girls had been there but they had directed them the wrong way.
"I remember that." Ray said.
"How? Wasn't that during your drug period."
"Yeah, but I wasn't high that night. The next morning, yeah, but not that night."
"Remember the second time that happened. We ended up picking up Nicole and Brad at Eddie's Party?" Dave asked. Chase smiled. That night sure changed things.
"Yeah, first time I got to use my cops impression. I don't think Nicole liked it though."
"Oh yes, Sean Young." They laughed. It felt good to be hanging out together again, relieving the memories of high school.
"Brad didn't like Sean Either." Chase added.
"No, of course not. He was too into Kathy. They got back together you know, after Alica broke up with him."
"I thought he was Married to Alica, Dave?"
"He was? Oh, I never paid attention to her anyway."
"I don't think any of us did, and that irked her." Ray commented. "Which reminds me oddly enough, what happened at the party? I remember hearing that Alica was with you or something when I went in."
"Yeah, Chase, what did happen? You never told me why you were so pissed off when you were in the car."
"Alica kissed me. In front of Nicole."
"What!?" Ray said, turning around so he could face Chase. "You let her kiss you?"
"Well, she led me on a little. Then she pushed me away and said something like no way Romeo and then something about being Nicole's friend and then she pointed to Nicole."
"Is that why I had to pick you up?"
"Partially. I tried to explain to Nicole but she locked herself in Brad's bathroom."
"Why the hell did you do that?"
"Do what, Ray?"
"Kiss Alica when you have Nicole?"
"I saw her talking to Brad, and that plus the fact that I had a least one drink before then." Ray shook his head and sat down in his seat.
"I will never understand that. That made you change your mind about getting back with Dulcie?"
"I realized Dulcie wasn't what I wanted anymore. And Ray?"
"Yeah?"
"Thanks."

Robert Hammond had been reading a book when the phone rang. He looked over at his fiancée and found her still asleep and took the phone.
"Hello?"
"Hey Dad."
"Chase?"
"Yeah. I'm sorry about calling so late, but I wanted to talk to you. How's Laura?"
"She's fine. She can't wait till you come back for the wedding."
"That's what I wanted to talk to you about."
"What? Tell me your still coming."
"Yes, I am still coming. I'll be there a little early."
"How early are we talking about Chase?"
"How's tomorrow?"
"Tomorrow? That is Early."
"I know, that is what Ray said."
"You talked to Ray?"
"Yeah, I'm at his place right now."
"So you know then."
"Yeah, dad I know."
"I'm sorry son."
"I know. It is more my fault then anyone else's. No one except Nicole deliberately hid it from me."
"I could have told you."
"Yeah, but I probably would have not believed you if it was done over the phone."
"Son?"
"Yeah?"
"Are you high?"
"No, Dad. Still have to get the felt poster before I can get high."
"Funny Chase."

Dave tried to watch all three children at the same time, and was severly glad the other two were there for Breakfeast duty. Trying to make sure that everything remains clean was a tough job, especially when the three were excited about being together.
"Leeann, don't throw your bananas at Lila, Please." Ray commented as he noticed the flying projectile and managed to catch it before it hit Lila's face. Leeann made a face and Ray let out a aspirated sigh. Leeann did not like to be corrected. Lila and Leeann liked to throw things at each other. Out of the three girls, only Ana actually behaved herself. Leeann was the worst, and as for Lila, it depended on what her mood was that day. She more often went Leeann's way then Ana's.
"When's mama comin' home?" Lila asked as she tried to get a banana out of her cereal to catapult at Leeann. She finally got a piece and put it on her spoon and pulled back the top as to throw it at her friend. However her father caught it before she threw it and stoped her.
"Lila, you know better. Your mother should be back soon. They normally get home around ten in the morning which..." Dave looked at his watch. "Which is five minutes from now."
"Oh." Lila replied while glaring at Leeann. Dave smiled at his daughter and ruffled her hair.
"Hey Everyone!" Dee called as she opened the door. She walked into the dining room and went and kissed her husband and daughter.
"Where is everyone else?" Chase asked, noticing the lack of girls behind Dee.
"Oh, just getting their bags out of the trunk. We found this great shopping mall near the hotel."
"Did you get me anything?" Lila asked smiling at her mother.
"Yep, but you will have to wait till everyone leaves to see it, hun." Lila let her disapointment at being made to wait show.
"Hey!" Misha said, entering the room. She picked up Leeann after the girl had ran to her. Dulcie and Nicole followed, moving around Misha and greeting the others.
"Hi girls." Chase said smiling.
"Hey Chase." Nicole said, walking over to thier daughter who was sitting in her father's lap. She kissed her check and then ruffled Chase's hair. She smiled at Chase's reaction, which was to glare at her. She felt dizzy and her head hurt, but she still smiled.
"Chill chase, it is only your hair. Hey Ana, ready to go, Nana has a dress appointment for us to go to." Ana nodded and got up. Chase stood up, planning on following them, as he had to go see his father. Ana took his hand and the three walked towards the door saying goodbye to thier friends.
They managed to get out the door before Nicole fell to the ground.
