Okay, well chapter eight didn't have everything I wanted, so I'm going to put it in here. You'll see how. So, here we go with the climax of the story : ) I've so been looking forward to this chapter ever since I thought of the idea back in Could It Be. It's going to be awesome if I can do it right : )
Ugh we have so many ideas for stories. I'm serious. And in a ton of different fandoms. We have High school musical, Code Lyoko, Thief Lord, Twilight, Cory in the House, Artemis Fowl, Cheaper by the Dozen and Hannah Montana. We've actually started a number of them. We're going to write the first chapters and see which we like more I guess. More than Likely we're going to beg people to take a poll. So We'll see.
Chapter 9
Meena sighed and dropped her head into her hands.
"Why is Newt a jerk?" she asked. Greenlee narrowed her eyes, remembering.
"I'm telling you Newt this is a great place, It's not even actually a museum!" Greenlee insisted as and led Newt to an art exibit they were having in Central park.
"I don't know Greenlee. Art's so... boring." Newt half whined, letting Greenlee lead him by the hand.
"It'll be fun." She said as they got there. Newt had to admit, some of the things were pretty interesting. They walked through the exibit, looking at each painting for a few moments before moving onto the next one. A wind left over from winter blew past and Greenlee shivered. Without thinking, Newt took off his jacket to wrap around Greenlee and she was about to put her hands in the pockets when he freaked out.
"Wait! No!" He cried, taking the jacket back off of her. A few people turned around to look at them.
"Newt are you insane?" Greenlee asked.
"No, I just... Don't want you going through my pockets." Newt shook his head.
"Why not?" Greenlee narrowed her eyes at him, her old suspicions rising.
"I just don't!" Newt said, walking towards the next painting.
"No, no, no. You aren't just going to walk off. I want an answer." Greenlee said, grabbing his arm. "Why are you acting so weird?" She crossed her arms.
"I'm not acting weird." Newt shrugged.
"Yes you are." Greenlee snapped.
"Can't you just trust me Greenlee? Jesus, it's not like I'm cheating on you." Newt shouted.
"And how am I supposed to know that?" Greenlee shouted back. "You've been hiding things from me! You're supposed to be my best friend! My boyfriend for crying out loud!"
"I'll tell you when I'm ready to tell you!" Newt yelled.
"If I'm still around." Greenlee said turning away and heading for the cafe closest to the hotel
Cory's eyes widened and he looked at Greenlee.
"Greenlee, he's not cheating. It's the opposite." He insisted.
"Whatever Cory." Greenlee rolled her eyes. "I'm heading back to the hotel, they should be delivering the stuff Newt and I bought. I'll see you there." She said, leaving Cory and Meena.
"Man this is bad." Cory shook his head.
"What's going on with him?" Meena asked.
"If I tell you, you have to swear not to tell anyone, especially Greenlee." Cory Warned. Meena nodded.
"My lips are sealed." She promised. Cory leaned in and whispered it in her ear. "No way." Meena squeal.
"Yup." Cory grinned at her. Meena smiled and clapped her hands.
"That's so cool!"

The next morning they were getting ready for TRL, Greenlee and Meena were in their room getting dressed. Meena buttoned her pin strip skirt and looked at her silky purple top in the mirror. Greenlee tugged at her black leggings before pulling on her jean skirt and sequin baby doll top (I'll put pics in my profile.)
"Greenlee, come on, don't you think you're being a bit stubborn?" Meena asked.
"He's hiding things from me Meena. When did you jump on the Newt bandwagon anyway?" Greenlee asked, putting on her make up.
"I'm not, I'm just saying, the concert will go a lot smoother if you and Newt make up." Meena shrugged.
"Oh so it's for the band?" Greenlee rolled her eyes.
"Yeah." Meena lied. "Just come on!" Meena walked out of the bathroom and went to her bed to grab her purse.
"Whatever." Greenlee rolled her eyes. "I'm going to the Lobby. I'll meet you all there." She said, grabbing her own purse from the counter and walking out to the elevator. Just as the doors were closing Newt stuck his arm in and the doors reopened, letting him in. Greenlee crossed her arms and looked at the ceiling.
"Greenlee-"
"Don't." Greenlee cut him off. "Everyone and their grandma wants me to get over being mad and I don't know why. It's starting to feel like everyone knows the secret but me."
"Greenlee, I promise, I swear, I'll tell you when I'm ready. Right now just isn't the time. Please." Newt begged. Greenlee looked at the picture on the wall of the elevator. "Greenlee, I've known you all my life, you've known me all yours, have I ever lied to you? Just trust me on this one. I'll tell you."
"You're still a jerk." Greenlee said, looking at him, the corners of her mouth turned up. Newt laughed and hugged her as the doors opened again and he lifted her up and out of the elevator. "And you're insane!" She added.

"I think I'm going to be sick." Meena squeaked as she paced back and forth. The contest had just started and DC 3 was the foruth act to go on.
"Relax Meena. It's not like this is the first time we've done this." Greenlee rolled her eyes.
"We should have practiced more! We should have worn matching outfits we should have-"
"Calm down girl." Cory walked over to her taking her hands. "We're going to be great. We've practiced enough, matching outfits would make us look stupid and there's nothing more that can be done to make us rock any harder than we already do." Meena looked into his eyes and relaxed a bit.
"Okay." She nodded, going to get a water from the table. After the other two acts the guy back stage warned them to get ready.
"And Next up we have DC 3, first we're going to talk to the bands front girls, Meena Parhoom and Greenlee Binx!" Jordan Myers, who had taken over the show, cried. Meena and Greenlee hurried out while the boys set up.
"Hey Jordan." The two girls chorused.
"Hey ladies." Jordan smiled his trademark smile that could melt even the hardest of hearts. "So tell me, what made you come here to New York and our contest?"
"Well, We're seniors in High school and this is our last Spring break to really go out and have a party together." Meena said.
"Not true." Greenlee whispered at her.
"Okay, and why is it DC 3 when there are five of you?"
"Well it started out with Meena, our drummer Cory Baxter and our Guitaris Newt Livingston. Then I joined it, but Newt and I started dating and according to cory that mad us only count as one, but then he and Meena started dating and we had to let Stickler in so we'd be DC 3 again." Greenlee smiled. That was kind of an inside joke that not a lot of people understood.
"Umm... okay, well here they are! DC 3!" Jordan cried as The girls ran to their places. Newt and Cory started with their bit before Meena and Greenle opened Their mouths to sing.
"You were the one
That I couldn't find
Hidden Away
In the depths of my mind
Why did I let you go you're to good to be true
I messed it up and now I don't know what to do
We ran in circles and wasted time
From right to wrong, from right to wrong
If I knew that you were mine
I wouldn't have wasted time
I wish I could erase the past
Now it's all collapsed - in my lap
I overthought
So I locked up my heart-yeah
There you stood
Your blue eyes hidden beneath your hood
Why did I let you go you're to good to be true
I messed it up and now I don't know what to do
We ran in circles and wasted time
From right to wrong, from right to wrong
If I knew that you were mine
I wouldn't have wasted time
I wish I could erase the past
Now it's all collapsed - in my lap
My mind is blank just like a clean slate
Will I need another guy with the same blue eyes
And the same name with the Converse shoes i gave
Will he have the same laugh
Wear my homemade hat
Bet I'll make another mistake
And think he's just another - fake
Wish I could erase the past now
Wish I could bring you back
If I knew that you were mine
I wouldn't have wasted time
I wish I could erase the past
Now it's all collapsed - in my lap
If I knew that you were mine
I wouldn't have wasted time
I wish I could erase the past
Now it's all collapsed - in my lap"
Greenlee took Aly's parts while Meena took AJ's. When they were done everyone cheered for them and they bowed. They were ushered off stage and told to wait until the contest was over.
After the last band went on they were all taken back out to hear the announcement.
"Okay, it was really hard to pick the winners of TRL's Battle of the Bands, Whooooo! But finally we picked. In third place, Beauty School Drop Outs!" The band of four guys with hair in varying shades of blue went up to take their little trophy.
"In Second place, Two Blinks is Yes!" The Band walked up to take their gift certificates to a cafe down the street.
"And finally, in first place, the Winners of TRL's Battle of the Bands, Whooooooo! Is... DC 3!" Jordan cried. it took a moment to register, but when they realized it was them Meena screamed and they hurried to the front to get their prize.
"Wait!" Newt held up a hand as everyone was getting ready to leave the stage. Everyone stopped, looking at him in confusion. "Greenlee, you want to know the secret..." He reached in his pocket and got down on one knee. Greenlee quirked and eyebrow at him as the other three members of the band struggled to contain their excitement.
"Newt what are you-"
"Greenlee Binx," Newt started, pulling his hand out of his pocket to reveal a small velvet box, even small than the one that had held the necklace. As soon as he opened it Greenlee's heart jumped to her throat. In the box sat a ring. Nothing too fancy, a small diamond ring, the light glinting off the shining surface. "Will you marry me?" He asked, taking one of her hands in his own.
Greenlee made a small choked sound and nodded her head. "y-yes." She managed to get out. He slid the ring on her finger and stood up. Everyone clapped as they embraced. When he pulled away to look at her she had tears running down her face.
"I love you." She squeaked.
"So you love a jerk?" He asked with a smirk.
"Forever." She smiled.

The next morning as Stickler drove them home, Meena sat in back with Greenlee and Newt while Cory sat in the passenger's seat. Everyone groaned as Stickler's phone rang for the nineteenth time in the past two hours.
"Kallie again." Corry said, picking Stickler's phone up from the dash.
"I regret giving her my number." Stickler shook his head.
"Technically you didn't." Meena reminded him. "Cory and Greenlee did." The two accused laughed and smiled.
"Well how were we supposed to know she was boarderline stalker?" Greenlee asked, leaning against Newt.
"You shouldn't have called her in the first place." Stickler snapped.
"Oh we weren't going to let you break her heart." As the two bickered back and forth Meena looked at her best friends. Cory and Newt joined in on it and that's when Meena realized it.
She would never lose these people, no matter how hard she tried.
