This is where the "Steve doesn't have a sister" part comes in. This just shows another side of Steve that they can't see because they are blinded by his perfection. Nobody is perfect!

Chapter 10- Lunch with Steve

Carmen was walking along the street, when she saw a flyer. It read:

-Dress formal-

Wow! Carmen thought. Steve's hosting the party! I have to dress real nice for him! At that thought Carmen rushed for the mall. She went to the store she found her other dress in. It wasn't just a dress store. It was an everything clothes store. She was going into the fitting room when she saw Steve. "Hey Steve," she said.

"Hey, how are you Carmen? I was just thinking about you. Are you doing anything after this?"

"No. I am fine."

Cool, want to grab something to eat, I mean, when you're done."

"Great, I'm starving!"

"What are you shopping for?"

"I'm shopping for a dress for your party tomorrow."

"Cool, pick out a good one, because then I get to dance with the girl with the best dress. And the party doesn't start 'til 8, but I was wondering if you would like to come with me at 7:30, to get every thing ready."

"Thanks, that'll be great."

Carmen went into the dressing room and tried her armful on. She didn't find anything that she picked out to work. She went out again. She saw Steve at the cash register, paying, in cash. She went to the dress section to look for more things.

She picked out another armful of things. The first one was a plain black dress. It didn't fit her right. Then she picked out a lavender one. She didn't look good in lavender. The third one she picked out was a silver/grey one. It was sort of shiny. It was a floor dress. She picked out a pair of silver shoes and decided she would use Bridget's handbag. She picked up everything and headed toward the cash register. Steve was sitting on a bench near-by waving. She paid for her things then took out her cell phone real fast and informed Lena of the party, and asked her if she could use her handbag. Lena thanked her and allowed her to use her bag. She then called B real fast and told her. Then she called Tibby and told her also. She put away her cell phone and started toward Steve.

"Are you ready to go?" Steve asked.

"Sure am," replied Carmen.

They walked towards the food court. They ordered their food from a Chinese place and sat down at a table for two. "So, did you find what you are going to wear tomorrow?" Steve asked.

"Yes I did. Did you?" replied Carmen.

"Yep,"

"So, what is your favorite song?" Carmen asked.

"Oh wow, I have many favorites. I have a collection of about 2000 songs."

"Which one is your favorite?"

"Well, I think it would have to be that one we danced to, Untitled by Simple Plan. That just touches my heart. My sister died by a drunk driver." He said.

"Wow, I'm sorry. That is my favorite song. I love the video."

"I love it too."

"Well, I think we just found something in common, we both love the same song and video."

"Cool, now it's my turn. What's your favorite color?"

Carmen now felt like Krista. What should I tell him? Pink might sound too girly, green is too out there, and so is orange, yellow is too bright, black is too gothic, red too 9-year-old boyish, grey is dull, brown is ugly, white is blank, blue is too go-with-the-crowd, how about purple? Purple is good.

"Um, my favorite color is purple."

"Cool, purple is awesome. Mine personally, I don't have one."

"Oh." I'm so stupid, I should've said that. But he said purple was awesome!

After they finished their meals, Carmen and Steve split promising to be together the following night at 7:30. Carmen made a quick stop at Lena's to get the handbag. Lena wasn't home, but Effie was, so Effie gave Carmen the handbag. Carmen thanked her and left.

Also thanks for the reviews. I am getting a great deal of reviews between two stories (my other one is a Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends fanfic and it is called The Mystery Lemonade).
