Hey guys, I will be gone on vacation till sometime in August!

Reviewers:

Kow it all: I know, Nerds rule! I tried to capture all the characters personalities as best I could. Thank you very much for reviewing!

AvrilLavigneroxmysox: I love your name, it's really cool! I had to make Dick look bad because he is Dan from Grease. Think of it like that. I know that's not good but it will get better!

PinkFlamingo44: I am so touched...one of the best stories you've ever written? I'm feeling all warm and fuzzy inside...

camille: I will, and here it is!

RobinStarfire: Very, very good?

lil' LIK Star: Alot of people seem to!

thugette90: I love your name, power to the people! I picked the nickname 'Dick' on purpose, because your right, he really is one!

hmmm: Umm..here it is?

samantha: Dear Person, considering this is my story, I have every right to put Robin and Starfire out of character, but this will be alot like Grease, with bits taken from movies such as 'Mean Girls'.

Little One: Your name is too cute for words! I hate it when people do that, they start a story and then they never finish it! Don't worry, I'm not that type of person! I am adding some 'Shakespeare' in this chapter, so it will still be kinda classical. Do you really think my story could go far?

blossomel91: If you read the above reply to 'Little One' you will see that I am not one to drop stories. I HATE IT WHEN PEOPLE DO THAT, IT'S LIKE IF YOUR GONNA START THE FREAKIN STORY THAN FINISH THE FREAKIN STORY! takes deep breath Thanks for your review!(Damn these friggin' hormones!)

Sweetweni: They will soon, unfortunetly not in this chapter, but oh well! And I think that you should wait see, as they will get together! YOU MARK MY WORDS! MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! (Damn these hormones to the nesting place of the all-powerful scarlacc, where they will be painfully digested over a million years!)

Disclaimer: I don't own any characters except for Mick, Miss Gagnon, Miss Whardon and Miss Marsh. I also don't own Shakespeare's 'A Midsummer Night's Dream'.

"Oh my god, I am so tired," Kori said wearily into the phone the next night to Raven.

"Yea, join the club. What is with the teachers giving us tons of homework on the second day of school?"

"Well, they didn't give us any yesterday. That was pretty gracious."

"Gracious? Kori, it was the first day! If they gave us homework yesterday, it would be so unfair! Besides, they made up for all the homework they didn't assign yesterday by giving it to us today!"

"Raven, it's only fair-"

"Fair that they gave us homework from every lesson? Yea, that's funny…"

"It doesn't take very long."

"You're finished!"

"Yes, I did it all when I got home."

"What-how-I-"

"Listen Raven, I gotta go. See you tomorrow?"

"If I'm still alive."

"Bye," Kori said.

"Bye." Smiling, Kori turned the phone off and placed the phone back on its hook on her bedside table. She slid off her bed and walked outside to her balcony. Outside the cool, spring Jump City air blew her carrot-red hair around her face. She smiled, enjoying its touch. She watched as the wind continued to blow leaves and tree branches around gently, as if they were all playing a game.

Dick was sitting at his computer, waiting as his msn messenger loaded up. He took a swig of coke and looked to see who was online. Mick and Charlie. He clicked on Charlie's name and started a chat room.

YoU sAy BaD lIkE iTs WrOnG says: s'up? Richard waited for Charlie to reply.

DoN't BuG mE aNd We MiGhT gEt aLoNg says: nufin u?

YoU sAy BaD lIkE iTs WrOnG says: same. Have u done ur homework?

DoN't BuG mE aNd We MiGhT gEt aLoNg says: ya rite Richard smiled. His thoughts exactly.

"Richard!" came a gruff voice from the bottom of the stairs.

"Oh shit," Richard muttered.

YoU sAy BaD lIkE iTs WrOnG says: g2g

DoN't BuG mE aNd We MiGhT gEt aLoNg says?

YoU sAy BaD lIkE iTs WrOnG says: dad

DoN't BuG mE aNd We MiGhT gEt aLoNg says: oh good luck bi

YoU sAy BaD lIkE iTs WrOnG says: thanx c u bi Richard signed off his computer just in time as a second later, his dad burst into his room.

"Have you done your homework?" He asked accusatively. Richard shrugged.

"Your mother and I don't want you to fail in school, so move your ass and do it now before I get mad!" He slammed the door and walked out. Richard stuck up his middle finger before he lifted his feet and put them on the table, leaning back on the chair's legs, no intention of doing his homework.

"I was up till 3:30 am doing that stupid history assignment!" BB complained. The three of them, Kori, Raven and BB were walking up the stairs towards their lockers.

"Oh come on, it wasn't that bad," Kori said, trying to sound optimistic.

"Actually Kori, it was," Raven said loudly. Kori wasn't really paying attention. "Kori! Damn, I hate it when you don't listen to me!"

"Look!" Kori said excitedly. "A school play!"

" 'A Midsummer Night's Dream'," BB read off the sheet. "Won't Miss. Whardon be happy…"

"And tryouts are today at lunch!" Raven smiled.

"You should totally go."

"I will," Kori said but then she smiled evilly. "If you do it with me."

"No way," Raven said. "No way."

"Come on, please?" Kori begged. "For me?" She gave Raven a puppy-dog face.

"Oh alright!" Raven said, her voice full of defeat.

XxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxX

"Look at this crap!" Mick said, pulling the poster advertising the school play off the bulletin board.

" A Midsummer Night's Dream? Sounds like play about magical ponies and smiley faces," Alex said shivering.

"Who would want to do that?" Charlie asked. Richard shrugged.

"Pathetic," Stu added.

"Yeah," Richard said.

XxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxX

"Now would you please recite this part again?" Miss Gagnon, the drama teacher asked Kori.

"Sure." Her face changed. She now looked quite angry. "Not for thy fairy kingdom!-Fairies away! We shall chide downright, if I longer stay."

"Thank you dear," Miss Gagnon said happily. She jotted something down in her little notebook and said, "Next!" Kori walked off the stage. A boy with blond hair jumped up. Raven, who was next in line looked like she was about to be sick.

"Don't worry," Kori said. Raven looked up at her.

"That's easy for you to say, you were awesome!" Raven protested.

"Thanks," Kori said smiling as the boy said,

"Happy be Thomas-Themes-Uh, Miss Gagnon, What is that word?"

"Theseus. Happy be Theseus, our renowned duke!" Miss Gagnon said. "Next!"

"Good luck!" Kori told Raven. Kori walked down and took a seat beside BB in the audience as Raven walked shakily up the stairs, her purple hair swinging from side-to-side as she walked.

"Alright dear, now here is your script," said Miss Gagnon, handing Raven a sheet of paper.

"Four days will quickly steep themselves into night, four days will quickly dream away the time. And the moon, like to a silver bow, shall behold the night of our solemnities."

"Wonderful," said Miss Gagnon, taking another note in her book. "Next!" Raven walked slowly down the stairs.

"You were great!" Kori said, hugging the Goth.

"Yea, you were so good!" BB said enthusiastically. Raven smiled weakly, but said no more.

XxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxX

"I can't believe we couldn't find one person to play Demetrius. I can't believe it!" Miss Gagnon told the guidance counselor, who was helping her assign parts an hour later, as the parts had to be up on the board the next day.

"It is a problem."

XxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxX

Outside, Richard and his gang were watching the two women complain.

"That is so sad," Mick said. Richard picked up a script from the ground. It was a Demetrius line.

"Hey guys, watch me be Demetrius…" Richard began.

"You?" Alex said. "Yea, that's funny." Richard glared and determinedly began speaking, ready to show them he could do a good impression.

XxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxX

"If we don't find anyone soon, we might have to cancel the whole play!" Miss Gagnon said, putting her head in her hands. It was then, she heard the voice.

"You do impeach your modesty too much, to leave the city, and commit yourself into the hands of one who loves you not."

XxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxX

Outside, Richard took a deep breath and continued, his friend's mouth's agape.

XxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxX

"What was that?" Miss Gagnon's head shot up. "Who was that?"

"To trust the opportunity of night, and the ill counsel of a desert place…"

"I must find him," Miss Gagnon said. She looked out and saw Richard reciting.

"With the rich worth of your virginity." Richard finished and heard someone clapping. It was Miss Gagnon.

"Miss Marsh," she called to the other woman seated in the auditorium. "I've found our Demetrius!"

"What?" Richard asked as his friends laughed.

"I think it's an excellent idea Mr. Grayson," Miss Marsh said happily. "I have heard that you have had some issues, and this might be the perfect way to get rid of them!"

Richard stood there spellbound, not knowing how right she was.

Ha ha, Richard's in a Shakespeare play! Oh yeah, that's funny...

Up next: Richard finally meets Kori!

Review please!
