The two Hinkley girls came down the stairs to the living room where their father was sitting reading the paper. He looked up at his two daughters and smiled. "You both look very beautiful." He remarked.

"Thanks Dad." Sabrina smiled as did her sister.

"You two have a good time tonight at the dance. Remember though no slow songs." The Professor stated. "One starts you just walk away and say no thank you."

Sabrina giggled. "Yeah okay Dad. Whatever you say."

"Not happening." Amber grinned. "In fact I think I will sing a bunch of ballads tonight just so Sabrina has the opportunity to slow dance more with Jonas…"

"Funny." The Professor said not amused. "You know you are just like your mother."

"Yeah I know." Amber said. "And you still love her."

The Professor smiled a bit thinking of his amazing wife of almost eighteen years who he had loved even longer than that. Like the second he saw her beautiful face. "Yes I do. Very much."

Sabrina sat down on the sofa. "Where's Alex? Did he leave for the game yet?"

"No." The Professor replied. "His friend Jason will be here in a few minutes. He's in the kitchen right now getting a snack."

Amber rolled her eyes. "I swear that boy is a bottomless pit. Like Uncle Gilly. Neither of them ever again any weight. I don't know how they do it."

"Oh please sis." Sabrina said. "As if you ever gain one ounce. I swear you got that from Mom too. She never gains weight. She is still as trim as she always was. Isn't she Dad?"

"Your mother was always beautiful to me." He answered folding the paper over to the next page. "It doesn't matter what size she is, she will always be the most beautiful woman in the world."

"Too bad you were too chicken to tell her that before." The redheaded Hinkley girl admonished. "What was wrong with you? Like anyone would ever believe you could think otherwise!"

Just then the doorbell rang saving the Professor from having to answer that question for the 500th time. He set the newspaper down and got up. He walked over to the door and opened it. It was Alex's friend Jason. Amber poked Sabrina in the ribs. "Your boyfriend is here." She giggled.

"Oh shut up." The blonde said swatting at her sister. Jason was one of Alex's closest friends and had a massive crush on Alex's blonde sister. While she did believe him to be a very nice boy he was too young for her. Well not really but being she was almost eighteen, Sabrina believed anyone who was younger than her was too young for her.

Jason walked in and smiled seeing Sabrina sitting there on the couch. "Hello." He said to her. "You look pretty."

She gritted her teeth and smiled that smile her mother taught her in these situations. "Thank you Jason that is very kind of you to say." She said. "I hope you have a good time at the game with Alex."

"Oh I love basketball." He said sitting down next to her much to her chagrin. Amber couldn't hardly hold in her laughter and Sabrina pleaded with her eyes at her twin to help her.

"It's a very intense sport you know." Jason continued on. "Very physical and takes a lot of mental preparation."

"Yes I know." Sabrina said politely wishing her brother would hurry up so he could go off to the game with this guy. "I am a cheerleader for the team at school. I see how tough it is."

"Oh of course!" Jason said feeling stupid for not remembering that. "I just meant that…"

Finally Alex arrived much to the relief of Sabrina. "Hey ready to go!" He asked his friend.

"You bet." Jason said standing up. "I'll see you later Sabrina. Have a good time at the dance."

"Thank you." She said wishing he would just go already.

The two boys did take their leave and Amber burst out laughing which caused Sabrina to shoot daggers at her. "Oh you just be quiet!"

"Oh sis." Amber said placing her hand on her twin's shoulder. "And you thought you would be considered the plain one.."

Sabrina stuck her tongue out at her. The doorbell rang again and the Professor opened it to see Scott and Jonas standing there. Both all of a sudden got a very nervous expression on their faces. They boys knew how protective Professor Hinkley was of his daughters. Jonas will never forget the interrogation when he first went out with Sabrina. It was so brutal the poor boy almost wanted to call an attorney to defend himself. Asking him about his intentions, did he know that Sabrina had to be home at a certain time, she had a curfew it was to be respected. He was to call immediately if there was going to be a problem with getting her home on time. Was his car reliable? Did he have a full tank of gas? What kind of place was he taking his daughter to? Were there going to be a lot of people? If so what type of people? Were parents going to be around? The party was going to be chaperoned wasn't it? Did Mary Ann and Gilligan know what kind of party it was? He was not planning on drinking at this party was he? There was not going to be alcohol at this establishment was there? He was not going to have his daughter driving around with someone who would be irresponsible enough to drink and drive.

Scott did not fare that much better the two times he had gone out with Amber. The first time was to the movies. Professor asked him what kind of movie it was and who starred in it. Was it appropriate for kids their age to see it and don't lie to him, his wife is a famous movie star and she would surely tell him if he told one fib about the film.

The second time was when he escorted Amber to the Homecoming Dance. The poor boy felt as if he was a suspect in a major crime spree. Asked him who was going to be at this dance. Were teachers going to chaperone? Who were the chaperones? Were they reliable? They did not just let bad behavior slide did they? He did not sneak any alcohol in his car did he? He would not tolerate any drinking and was not about to have his daughter ride with someone who would do that! Such irresponsible behavior would not be tolerated in the least.

Fortunately for both young men, Ginger stepped in and told her husband to stop it. They were perfectly nice boys and of course they would be very gentlemanly towards their daughters. She told the Professor to quit being so darn harsh. Really!

Jonas spoke up and plastered on his most polite smile. "Hello Mr…er…Professor Hinkley. I'm here to pick up Sabrina for the dance. Is she ready?"

"Please come in." The Professor said to the young man who entered.

"Hi Professor Hinkley." Scott squeaked out. "Um…is Amber ready? I'm going to be um escorting her to the dance."

"Yes of course do come in."

"Thank you sir."

Both girls stood up from the couch and walked over to their dates. "Hello Jonas." Sabrina said kissing his cheek. He wanted to kiss her to but thought better of it by the way her father was looking at him.

"You look pretty." He said instead. "That is a very nice dress."

"Thank you." Sabrina smiled. "You look very handsome in your father's sports jacket."

"Thanks." He said. "Mom had to take it in a bit but I think it fits good."

Scott looked over Amber. "You look very pretty. I think that black dress is great on you."

"Just great?" She said in that same tone Ginger uses with the Professor when she is not pleased with the compliment.

Scott swallowed. "Um I mean it looks..really great." He wished Amber would not do this now. Didn't she see the way her father was standing there with his arms crossed!

The redhead laughed. "Thank you. Come on let's go." She said taking his hand. She turned her head back to her father. "See you later Dad. Try not to let Mom devour you too much."

The Professor turned a bright shade of red as the foursome burst out laughing as they walked out the front door. He shook his head knowing that Mary Ann was the culprit behind those remarks. He was convinced that she told the girls just want to say to get under his skin and Ginger's skin. This then brought his mind to that gorgeous redheaded being who was his adoring wife. They were all alone. He smiled to himself heading up the stairs to locate his beautiful bride to partake in rekindling of their love. "Oh Ginger!" He called out to her. "Ginger my love!"

Dance

Amber was on the stage and began her number. Everyone gathered on the dance floor enjoying the beat and of course Amber's incredible voice. Sabrina especially loved her sister's dance numbers. It almost made her wish she could be up there dancing and singing that way. Almost. Her first love was writing. It was in her blood that was for sure.
Still her sister was an incredible performer and drew everyone into the music.

Sabrina laughed as Jonas did a dance she had seen her Uncle Gilly do once before. A silly little dance but it was endearing at the same time. Everyone was getting into the song and then the whole crowd of students began singing the chorus line each time it came to that.

The song came to an end and everyone applauded. Amber went to start her next number when Sabrina decided she needed a break so they headed over to get some punch.

Jonas handed her a plastic cup and she thanked him as she took a sip. "Great dance isn't it? She asked. "My sister is really on tonight."

"She is." Jonas agreed. "She is an amazing singer. I bet she will get a record deal in no time and sell millions of albums."

"I don't doubt it." Sabrina said with a smile

"Say how is your story coming along?" Jonas asked. "You said you were rewriting it for the magazine."

"I finished it." She replied. "I just need to send it off to Aunt Nicki. I really hope she likes it this time. I put a lot into it. I know I'm not a professional or anything.."

"You will be." Jonas assured. "Someday. I know you will. I think you are a terrific writer. Everyone in school thinks so. Those little stories you wrote for the school paper were very popular. I bet one day you will get the eye of Hollywood and they will beg you to write movies for them."

"That would be a dream come true." Sabrina smiled. "I would love nothing more than to write an award winning screenplay. It's going to take a lot more though then just being Ginger Hinkley's daughter."

"Yes but you have the talent. You can do it." He said. "Mom loved that poem you wrote for her and Dad for their fifteenth wedding anniversary that time. She had it framed you know."

"Well it's tougher in Hollywood." Sabrina said. "They pass up on a lot of things."

"Yeah but they are not always right you know. They can be wrong. Like for example those record companies who passed on the Beatles. I bet they feel stupid now!"

Sabrina laughed. "You are adorable." She said kissing his lips. "Don't ever change."
