And for the grand finale!


Chapter 11: Best Experience

Soon later, the gang were just talking and soon enough, there was a dance song that was playing and everyone started to dance and get into the entire thing. Suddenly, to their surprise, Diego broke off some of his moves which involves breakdancing and so forth. Most of them were really surprised about his hidden talent and everyone followed suit as well as they started dancing together.

After the whole thing was over, everyone of their dates said thank you to their dance and said goodbye to each other and everyone started walking home from the dance. Jonah was pleasantly surprised about Diego's moves and said, "Diego, I didn't know you could dance that good. Why didn't you say anything?"

"Before I met you guys and got adopted, I was the enemy around everyone back at the group home." Diego answered.

"Good point." Max said.

"I got into dancing when I was 14, but didn't really have an interest for it, because of my inner depression and I was always so angry and everything."

"Like I told you, you never know what you're missing out on."

Diego chuckles and said, "You helped me see that."

"So, what did you guys think of the dance?"

Jonah chuckled and said, "Really great. This is the best valentine's day for us, in like ever."

"It's our very first valeintine's without any form of pain and abuse." Hawk said.

"Lucky we were able to great a break." Sam said.

"I hope it stays permanent." Travis said.

"It will. Don't forget-you have an awesome family and support to back you up for whatever necessary." Jojo said.

Jonah smiles softly and then proceeds to put his hair back to his original form, by putting it on his right eye. Mike looks at Jonah and said, "Back to your normal self again, Jonah?"

"Since it's over, I thought I could re-cover my eye again. I liked it this way better than without seeing my full eye."

"That's the Jonah we all know." Cody said.

All the guys laughed and suddenly, Misty and Caitlyn caught up with them and Misty asked, "How dare you guys leave us behind?"

"Were we supposed to wait for you?" asked Mike.

"It would've been nice."

"So, did anyone have a good time?" asked Caitlyn.

"Great time."

"That's awesome. Well, I'll see you guys around in school Monday."

"Bye, girls!"

"Good night."

"Don't let that boogey-cupid stalk Misty!" Mike exclaimed.

Misty laughs sarcastically and said, "You think you're so funny."

"I'm glad you had a great time, Diego." Noah said.

"I'm glad I did too. At first, I wasn't sure about this, but after today, I wish I could go to someplaces where we would be invited and no one would hate us for who we are." Diego said.

"Well spoken." Seth said.

Soon, the boys went on their separate paths home and said 'goodbye' to each other and Jojo, Jonah, Hawk, Cyrus, Stephen, Travis and Sam were heading back home. Stephen looked at them and said, "Well, that was pretty good, I guess."

"When we get home, we got to get out of those bow ties. We look like something out of an old movie that nobody really cares about." Hawk said.

"I agree. This bow tie's getting on my nerves." Jojo said.

"But other than that, that was a great night." Jonah said.

Later, when they got home, Sally came downstairs and said, "How was the dance?"

"It was actually pretty good." Jonah replied.

"Good. I just baked some cupcakes for everyone. You might want to go by the kitchen first."

"Okay."

The boys went into the kitchen and saw a whole smorgasboard of cupcakes in the table. They gasped and sighed deeply, hoping that they might taste them all. Stephen said, "Aren't those beautiful?"

"Yeah...too bad we have to share them with my sisters." Jojo said.

"Why so?"

"Well, mom bakes cupcakes for both her and dad, and for me and my 96 sisters. ANd with you guys around, you'll see why."

"Then...why did she tell us to go into the kitchen first?" asked Hawk.

"Girls! Cupcakes!" Sally exclaimed.

All of a sudden, all the 96 sisters came downstairs to get their hands on those cupcakes as the boys backed up as they got them some cupcakes. Jojo turned to the others and replied, "That's why."

The boys eventually got their cupcakes and it was completely delicious for them to nibble on. Jonah sighed and said, "Your mom makes the best cupcakes."

"She's your mom too, you know." Jojo said, with mouth full.

"Yeah, I know. It's just that...our stepdad never did anything like this. He always thinks baking's for sissies and also, what he serves us...nothing. So we always fended for ourselves to get something to eat to cope with our troubled time."

"Must be shocking." Stephen said.

"We lived through it. But with him out of our lives, I like this life a lot better." Travis said.

"So do we. There is one question I never figured out though." Hawk said.

"What's that?"

"Why did you parents have 96 daughters?"

"Big family."

"Are you like the youngest or something?"

"I'm the oldest."

"So, you're the boss of them, basically."

"I've always been put in charge. No big deal, though it can be difficult to babysit 96 sisters."

"Who's the easiest to babysit?" asked Cyrus.

"Hedy. She can be a handful at times, but she's attached to me like glue. Unlike most of my sisters, I pretty much feel like there's a connction between me and her. She looks up to me a lot. She doesn't get on my nerves though. Maybe you guys can pretty much help out babysitting my sisters one of those days."

"That'd be great." Sam said.

"Although, I'm not sure how that'll turn out." Jonah said.

"Well, trust me. When it comes, you'll be up for it."

Hedy comes around and sees Jojo eating a cupcake and she said, "Cupcake!"

Jojo looks at her and chuckled softly and asked, "You want a cupcake?"

"Cupcake!"

Jojo reaches over the table and grabs one of the cupcakes and gives it to Hedy. She looks at it and eats it and said, "Good! Thank you!"

"You're welcome."

She giggles and then walks off with the cupcake, then turns back and said, "Me love Jojo."

Jojo smiles and said, "Me love Hedy."

Sally walks by and sees Hedy with a cupcake and told Jojo, "That was sweet of you, Jojo. I'm gonna get Hedy cleaned up."

"Okay."

"Kinda growing on ya, huh?" asked Sam.

"Yep."

"Well, here's to an awesome valentine's day and hope that there are more like this in the future." Jonah said, holding the cupcake.

Everyone else raised their cupcakes and continued eating them. Minutes later, Jonah was in the bathroom, looking at himself in the mirror and rubs his fringe hair to where the right eye can be hidden. He sighs softly and said, "I look better like this."

Then, he steps out of the bathroom and then went sees Jojo coming by and said, "Well, my parents are watching a romantic movie."

"They are?" asked Jonah.

"Look."

They looked downstairs and sees them both watching a romantic flick and Ned shed one tear from his eye and pulls of a tissue and wipes it from his eye. Sally looked at Ned and said, "Getting to you, sweetie?"

"It's so romantic, Sal."

"That's why I enjoy watching it with you, honey."

Jonah and Jojo looked at each other and just rolled their eyes together and Jojo said, "Happy Valentine's day."
