Hey guys. Thanks for reviewing. Here's chapter 23.

"So, these are the poor creatures that my father wants to harm..."

"Chao, chao!"

"Don't worry little ones. I will make sure that you live peacefully."

Matt awoke once again, from another strange dream.

"Why do I keep having these? And, who is that?" He asked himself aloud. All he saw was just a blur of orange. It looked so familiar to him, but he couldn't place a finger on who, or what it was. He looked at the clock. 6:25. Five minutes before he would have to get up for school. So he decided to just get ready early. Once at school, he figured he was not going to be greeted by Nick and Ashley, and he was right. He walked into the school, and saw Bree. "Hey Bree."

"Oh, uh, hey," She said, with no emotion.

"Is something wrong?" Matt asked, concerned.

"Well, don't you think that you could make a little effort to spend more time with me? I mean, we have been going out for two days, and you only called me once," She snapped.

"I was busy last night, I couldn't talk," he told her.

"Well, maybe you should make time," She said, giving him a look. He was a little upset by her attitude. But he decided to ignore it. He had literally been in love with this girl. He didn't want to blow it.

"Like I said yesterday, a real keeper," Josh whispered in his ear as he walked by. Matt looked back and gave him a small smile.

--------------------------

"I think that we should take a limo to the dance," Bree told Matt romantically. The two were sitting at the lunch table,along with all of the other "cool" kids.

"A limo? How are we supposed to afford that?" Matt asked her.

"Your the guy, your supposed to think of a way," Bree told him. Sadly, she was serious.

"You...are joking, right?" He asked her, raising an eyebrow.

"I'm very, serious," She said, giving him another one of her looks. They didn't know, but they were being watched from afar.

"Look at that! It makes me sick!" Ashley yelled.

"It's not that, everyone knows that it's not going to last long," Emily told her.

"I know, I could already see whats going to happen," Ashley stated.

"What?" Nick asked, curiously.

"Shes going to dump his ass, and hes going to come crawling back to us," She said firmly. "And were not going to be there for him."

"Ashley, we couldn't do that to him. When she does decide to beak it off with him, we have to be there for him," Emily told her.

"Yeah, or else we would be just as bad as him," Nick reminded her. She saw his point. She didn't wanna be like that.

"Fine, but were going to be firm with him," She told them.

"Fine," they all agreed. They didn't want to baby him. They were going to tell him to simply get over it.

"Do you think it will be before the dance?" Nick asked, looking over at them again. "It's only in two days."

"I don't know, part of me hopes not," Emily told them.

"Why?" Ashley asked.

"Because, he would be so embarrassed, there would be no way he would show up to that dance without a date. He even said it himself," Emily reminded them.

"That's right. No matter how much he deserves it, it would really suck if they did."

Well, there's chapter 23. Yes it's short, and yes, it sucks. But, there are only 2 chapters left, and as OCD as this will sound, I wanted to end the story with 25 chapters. So basically, this chapter was more of a filler, that I had not originally planned. But, I would still love for you guys to review. You know that. So, go hurry. REVIEW!
