The next day, Sam came into school dressed rather differently. She was wearing a yellow shirt and a black skirt. Instead of her combat boots, she was wearing blue sneakers. Many guys were taking notice.

Danny felt jealousy taking over him. He hissed at Sam, "Why are you wearing that? What's wrong with you?"

Sam turned to him and looked him in the eye. "What's your problem?" she said. She started walking away but then stopped and turned around. "Come to rehearsal, ok? We're practicing our scene today. Lancer's going to replace you if you keep skipping." She walked away.

Danny turned to his locker and started banging his head against it. Tucker walked up.

"Bad day already, Danny?"

Danny explained yesterday's events and Sam's change in wardrobe.

Tucker took of his hat and ran his hand through his hair. "Dude, she's really upset."

Danny looked up from his locker. "What?"

"She always starts wearing colors when she's upset. When a guy at camp read her diary she wore pink for three days."

"Ouch."

"Why don't you ask her to the dance?"

"I'm already going to the dance with Paulina." Danny looked up with an idea. "But I bet I can find her a date!" He ran off.

"Danny, That's a TERRIBLE idea! DANNY!" Tucker yelled after him.

Emma walked up to Sam in the hallway. "What's up?" She looked her up and down. "And with the outfit?"

Sam groaned and explained. "Ah." said Emma. "By the way, I had an idea."

Sam looked at her. "Knowing you, I'm going to be scared. What is it?"

"Well, I thought maybe you could let me pick your dress for the dance."

"What?"

Emma said quickly, "It would be black and it would be cool, I promise."

Sam thought for a second. "Fine, but you have to do something for me."

"What?"

"Ask Tucker out to the dance."

Emma blushed. "But I don't like him like that-"

"I know you like him, just ask him already. He's going to get desperate soon. It's not pleasant when he gets desperate."

Emma was bright red at this point. "Uh, well, okay." She said, "But you'll let me pick your outfit if I do, right?"

"Yeah, fine." Sam walked into class.

oOºOoOºOoOºOoOºOoOºOoOºOo

Emma took deep breaths. In…out…in…out. OK, there he is. Get psyched. Get psyched. Just, "Hey Tucker, wanna go to the dance with me?" In..out..in…out. Emma got a little freaked out about asking guys out, if you hadn't already noticed.

Emma walked up to Tucker, who was fiddling with his PDA. He looked up, "Hi Emma."

"Hi Tucker." She said, three octave higher than usual. She cleared her throat. "I was...um…wondering if…you…would um…"

"Emma, are you okay?"

She took a deep breath and tried to calm her self down. She tried again, "Doyouwannagotothedancewithme?"

Tucker look confused. "Huh?"

Emma took a deep breath and said slowly, "Would you like to go to the dance with me?" She immediately started examining the floor.

Tucker said, "Are you being serious?"

Emma turned bright red and assumed the worst, "Yes. Umm.. Sorry. I'll go-"

"No, of course I'll go. I just can't believe you asked me. A girl's never asked me to a dance before." Tucker was grinning.

Emma grinned back. "OK, then." She kissed him on the cheek and walked away quickly.

Tucker started jumping up and down. "YES!"

oOºOoOºOoOºOoOºOoOºOo

Danny walked up to Sam during lunch and sat next to her. "Hi Sam." He said, brightly.

"Yes?" She said, not looking up from her book.

"Are you going to the dance?"

She looked up, startled. "Yeah. Why?"

"Because I found you a date." Said Danny, still beaming.

Sam snapped her book shut. "I don't need one."

Danny said startled, "What?"

"Somebody already asked me."

"What? WHO?" said Danny, jealousy rising. How dare she have a date?

" Henry asked me the day after the fliers were put up."

"Henry? The guy who plays Buq? Short guy, long brown hair?"

"Yep."

"But he's a GEEK!"

"So are you."

"But…But…"

"I don't need your sympathy." She looked at her watch. "I need to go."

Sam walked away again. Danny groaned and started banging his head against the table. I need to get Sam out of my head!
