Chapter 3: Things Aren't What They Used To Be
Moody High Cafeteria
"What's going on guys?" Ron asked his friends as he sat down to eat.
"Nothing," Harry replied
"We're just reflecting on the events of last week after playing 'My Immortal' for Miss Ungermeyer," Gordo replied.
"Yeah I know," Ron exclaimed, "isn't it awesome?"
"Yeah, but," Harry began.
Meanwhile
"What do you think we should do?" Lizzie asked her two friends, frowning.
"I'm..." Kim began, clearly down about something, "not to sure."
"I guess things can change," Hermione said. "But I couldn't even say that I saw this coming."
"Oh well," Kim said, "let's just ride through it and maybe it will go back to the way it was."
"Hey girls" said a voice, "what's up?"
It was the varsity outfield; yes the whole outfield, Alex, Blake, and Chris Waller. The three were triplets, All-American outfielders, and the current dream of every Moody High female, except Kim, Hermione, and Lizzie, who had dreams of their own. (A/N: but you already know that...or do you?)
"Ya'll are looking a little down," Alex said. "Anything we can do to help that?"
"No, not really Alex," Kim replied.
"Not even one little thing?" Blake asked.
"We're fine Blake," Hermione said.
"Not even take you three beautiful young ladies out on a date?" Chris chimed in.
"No, guys, we're really okay," Lizzie said, clearly frustrated.
"Okay ladies, but remember we're here for you." The triplets said.
"Okay we will." Lizzie said. "Somebody else would come before you three did," she said under her breath where only her two friends could hear.
"Make that three, right?" Kim said.
"Yeah," Hermione agreed.
Back to the Guys
"Yeah, it's awesome," Gordo began. "But, Harry and I don't think it's supposed to be the way it once was."
"What are you talking about?" Ron asked.
"Sure, you and Kim, Lizzie and Gordo, and Hermione and I had lots of things in common, but we're in high school now and things have changed."
"You know," Ron began, "I actually agree with what you are saying, Harry. And I think I know what to do"
"Let's hear it," Gordo said as Ron began with his plan. (A/N: Confused? It might get worse.)
After School
"Lizzie, Hermione," Kim began, clutching a small piece of paper
"We know," Hermione said, "we each got one too."
"Should we go?" Lizzie asked.
"Yes!" Kim and Hermione said at the same time.
Each of the three friends had received a note taped to their lockers at the end of the school day. Each note said to go to a different part of the football field at 7:00: Lizzie's said to go to the top of the home bleachers, Kim's said the top of the away bleachers, and Hermione's said the logo on the fifty-yard line. The three friends packed up their homework and went home for a few hours.
That Evening
"Who do you think the three mystery men are?" Lizzie asked.
"Hopefully not the Waller triplets," Hermione said getting a laugh from her two friends.
"Or the three captains on the football team," Kim suggested. "Nah, they aren't that smart."
As Kim, Lizzie, and Hermione arrived at the football field, all three of them got two incredible shocks, not only were Harry, Ron, and Gordo the three mystery men, but they were all in the wrong spot...or were they.
"Miss Possible," Harry said as he greeted Kim as she made her way up the bleachers.
"Harry, what are you doing up here?"
"Kim, I know how you think Ron is better for you, but times change and with time, people change too. That same feeling that Ron had toward you, oh so long ago, is now coming from me."
"Really," Kim asked, "because if it really is, I feel the same way about you."
As Kim finished, the two embraced, and Harry gave Kim a soft kiss on her lips, then they made their way down the bleachers to watch the remaining conversations.
The conversation on the opposite side of the field went through the exact same steps, with the exception of Lizzie stumbling on the final step, but not falling, leaving Kim, Harry, Lizzie, and Ron to watch Gordo and Hermione's conversation.
"Well, hello to you Miss Granger," Gordo said as Hermione made her way across the field.
"Hello to you too, Mr. Gordon," Hermione replied.
"As you and I both know, you had the biggest crush on Mr. Potter over there in the late stages of elementary school, if I'm not seriously mistaken."
"I sure did Gordo," Hermione said, "but no longer."
"If I told you that I had the same, if not greater, feeling than Harry had toward you, what would your reply be?"
"My reply," Hermione said "would be that, if there was a road between us sending feelings of love, it would have to be a two-way street."
Gordo picked up a microphone, walked over to an electronic keyboard, put the microphone on the stand, Harry picked up his guitar, Ron his bass, and after turning on the stadium lights, Rufus ran to his drums. As the three girls watched and listened, they began to drift away in the soft gentle music of a classic from three decades past.
Lady,
When you're with me I'm smiling
Give me all of your love
Your hands
Build me up when I'm sinking
Just touch me
And my troubles all fade
Lady,
From the moment I saw you
Standing all alone
You gave
All the love that I needed
So shy
Like a child who had grown
You're my Lady of the Morning
Love shines in your eyes
Sparkling, clear, and loving
You're my Lady
Lady,
Turn me on when I'm lonely
Show me
All of your charms
Evenings
When you lay down beside me
Just take me gently into your arms
You're my Lady of the Morning
Love shines in your eyes
Sparkling, clear, and loving
You're my Lady
Lady of the Morning
Love shines in your eyes
Sparkling, clear, and loving
You're my
Lady
As they finished, they walked over to the three girls, who, by now were all three in tears, and put their arms around them and walked them to their cars because the girls had walked to the field, after they all got in, they drove back to the field to put all the instruments and stuff in the back of Harry's truck. After packing up, Harry took Kim home, Ron took Lizzie home, but Gordo took Hermione to the local snow cone shop and they ate their snow cones under the moonlight.
A/N: Did you like it? If you did then review, if you didn't, please don't light me on fire, it burns. By the way, "Lady" is sung by Styx.
