The roller disco place had only been open a few months, but it was already the hottest place for teenagers to go on Saturday night. The sign in front of it said "DISCO ON WHEELS – Est. 1975." The "Est. 1975" part seemed a little silly given that it still was 1975 now. It was still fairly early in the evening, but already a large crowd was gathering, and the sound of disco music could be heard coming from inside as Sam's mother dropped off Sam and Jo.

Daniella was standing in front, along with her boyfriend Eduardo.

"Hi, Sam and Jo!", said Daniella. "I'm glad you could make it! This is Eduardo Sanchez… past president of the Hillridge High Latin Club, and all around great guy."

"Please, call me Eddie," said Eduardo. "And, if Daniella is too modest to admit it, I'll say that she's been the president of the Latin Club since I graduated, and a straight A student since kindergarten, and all around great girl!"

"You're exaggerating a bit," said Daniella. "They don't actually give letter grades in kindergarten. But I did get a 'Plays Well With Others', both semesters."

"But enough about us," said Eddie. "I hear you had some trouble with a few idiot seniors. Do I have to go back to the high school and kick some butt?"

"That won't be necessary," said Sam. "We solved the problem ourselves… or, at least, some of the other freshmen did. There was a big 'Freshman Rebellion' on Wednesday, where a big group of freshmen engaged in mass civil disobedience by refusing to obey the 'freshman rules', and the seniors backed down. It helped that Mike Kessler had had karate lessons… he could take on several of those bullies all by himself. They're really a bunch of cowards if you stand up to them. Anyway, they're not enforcing those silly rules any more, so Jo and I can get to our lockers without a hassle."

"That's good to hear," said Eddie.

"But, speaking of the 'idiot seniors'," said Sam, "There's the main one of them right here… I hope he doesn't see us."

Sure enough, Steve Sanders was walking into Disco On Wheels, along with his girlfriend, Mary Jo Peterson, the head cheerleader. Fortunately, he didn't see Sam or Jo.

"Steve Sanders… yes, I remember him," said Eddie. "Even back when he was a freshman himself, he was really obnoxious to everybody. He insisted on being exempt from the freshman rules back then… it figures that he was the main one making and enforcing them this year. A real hypocrite."

"High school is full of hypocrites, bullies, phonies, and other people I'd rather not be around," said Jo. "That's why I can't wait to graduate and be away from them."

"College has all of those types too," said Eddie. "They just pretend to be more 'sophisticated' there. And I'm sure that, once we all get out of school and into the 'real world', we'll find that there are plenty of hypocrites, bullies, and phonies there too; you can never get away from them. You just have to find ways of dealing with them."

"Like the Marshalls deal with the Sleestaks on Land of the Lost?", added Sam… who immediately thought to himself, "Hey, did I just bring up a Saturday morning sci-fi series? I thought I promised myself I wouldn't do that… now I'm in trouble!"

"You watch that show too? I love it!", said Jo. "Those Sleestaks are so cute… in an evil way, of course!"

"It's the only Saturday morning show I still watch," said Sam, "but it's a good one."

"You should check out The Lost Saucer too," said Jo. "It's a new show that just started; it's another Sid and Marty Krofft live-action show, like Land of the Lost, and it's got Ruth Buzzi and Jim Nabors as lovable, though not so bright, aliens… but I especially like the adorable dorse!"

"What's a dorse?", asked Sam.

"A cross between a dog and a horse," said Jo.

"I'll try to catch it next week," said Sam.

Eddie joined in on the conversation, saying "You know what I like most on Saturday morning TV? It's those Schoolhouse Rock segments. They actually helped me pass the naturalization test to become a U.S. citizen… I'm just a bill, Yes I'm only a bill..."

Sam and Jo both joined in: "…and I'm sitting here on Capitol Hill!"

"I guess I'm the only one in this group who doesn't watch kids' shows on TV," said Daniella. "Does that make me the most mature of us?"

"No, just culturally deprived," said Eddie. "But I love you anyway!"

"Hey, we've actually got something in common," said Sam to Jo. "Besides getting picked on by Steve Sanders and the other nasty seniors."

"I hope you've also got an ability to roller-disco in common," said Daniella. "Because it's time for us to all get roller-disco-ing… unless you want to spend the whole night standing outside the place talking about kids' TV shows!"

Sam went up to Eddie quietly, hoping the others wouldn't notice, and said: "Umm… Eddie… this is a bit embarrassing, but I seem to have forgotten my wallet… do you think you could lend me a few bucks for my and Jo's admission to this place?"

"Sure, no problem," said Eddie. "Here's fifteen bucks… that should be more than enough for admission, skate rental, and maybe a snack too."

"Thanks a million," said Sam. "I'll pay you back immediately when I can."

They all went into the disco place.
