"Hmm, I don't know."
"Still, four songs, and I can't choose."
"Want to do a draw of the hat?"
"Hmmm, no. Let's listen to each of the songs first."
"Okay."
They listened to "Every time we touch", and when it was over, Sam said, "No, that one's eliminated."
"Okay," Valerie crossed it off the list, and said, "next?"
"Miricle."
"Okay."
"No. We were never together."
"So now it's 'Complicated' and 'Teardrops on my guitar'."
"Let's do, Complicated." They listened to it. but were unable to decide it whether to eliminate it. The same went for 'Teardrops on my Guitar'.
"Why don't we call Tucker? I'll ask him which song he would prefer for someone telling him they loved him, and see what he says." Valerie went into the other room and called him. When she came back in, she said, "The verdict is... Complicated."
"Let's go then," Sam said. They went into the recording room, and Sam started the track. She sat down, and started singing with it. Meanwhile, Valerie looked for the music sheets so Sam could add the guitar.
"What are you doing?" Sam asked when she finished the song.
"Looking for the music sheet for it."
"Don't. All we have to do is stick the cd in here, and we can separate the different sounds."
"So we can remove the singing and leave the music?"
"Exactly."
"Ohhhh, well, let's do it."
They continued practicing until Valerie said, "Okay, you definetly don't need to practice anymore. If that isn't perfect, then it never will be."
"You're right. Let's go to the mall."
"Yeah. I need a new gi for the talent show, and we need to get you something to wear."
b Danny's secret cave /b
Danny sat there and practiced. He didn't want to think about the night before, so he kept his mind off it by playing. After a while, he switched songs, and started playing 'Would you go with me' by Josh Turner. He sang with it, and if anyone heard it, they would have thought he was Josh Turner himself.
What am I going to do if she doesn't love me? he thought. Last night, was fun, but she seemed like she didn't want to be there. She probably didn't. Maybe she wanted to be there, but not with me. Oh well, it's too late. The talent show is in a few days. I'll find out then.
He left the cave and decided to go home. As he flew home, he spotted Tucker. He landed in front of him and said, "Hey,"
"Whoa dude, you scared me."
"Sorry. Where you headed?"
"The mall. I'm meeting the girls."
"I'll come."
"Okay, by the way, how was last night?"
"It was nice, but I got the feeling Sam didn't like it."
Tucker rolled his eyes and said, "Dude, you're clueless."
"Would you stop that?"
"When you stop being clueless."
b Valerie and Sam /b
"Let's see. I've got my gi, now we need to get you something."
"Then let's go."
They went to Goth Palace, Sam's favorite store. They looked around for a little while, but didn't find anything until Valerie pointed our a black halter top and microskirt. "Throw in my boots and it's perfect!" she said.
Sam tried it on, and it did look good. When she came out of the dressing room, Danny and Tucker walked in. Danny was hypnotized. The girl of his dreams was wearing a microskirt. "Wow," he said.
"You like it?" Valerie said.
"Dude," was all he could say. Valerie raised her eyebrows and looked at Sam.
"I'm going to go change now," she said, a blush creeping across her cheeks.
When she came out, Valerie whispered to her, "You're getting that."
"What?!"
"You saw the way he looked at you. You're getting it."
"Fine," she muttered. She bought the outfit, and the four friends walked out of the store.
"Where to?" Tucker asked.
"How about the pier?" Sam asked
"Sounds good." Danny said. He was still in a daze from seeing Sam.
