Chapter 10

Ariel was tearing up her room trying to find something to wear. Jasmine was trying on millions of outfits and kept changing her hair. Belle was trying to tear herself away from a book to go spend a horrible night with Adam. Pocahontas was sitting in her room depressed over her sad life and her friends all having plans. It was Friday night; it was going to be an interesting night. Four different girls and four different ways to spend their Friday night.

Scene 1

"John, what do you want," said Pocahontas when she picked up the phone

"Well you sound happy to hear me," joked John

"Just cut to the chase, I don't know where Ariel going tonight, so goodbye."

"Wait I wasn't calling for that," pleaded John

"Then what for?"

"I thought we could go for pizza since were both not doing anything," suggested John

"That sounds great, being someone last choice when no one else is around to do something. Thanks but no thanks," said Pocahontas as she slammed down the phone. She couldn't stand him anymore; she was like his back up to Ariel. All she ever wanted was to be his friend, well maybe more. But not anymore there was nothing he could do to change her mind.

Scene 2

"The first date is the set up to the whole relationship Aladdin, so you better not choke," teased Eric, he was trying to make his brother nervous

"If that was your lame attempt at trying to make me nervous than it failed," laughed Aladdin

"Well good luck tonight. Whatever you do don't tell her about are secret bet. Girls don't like that kind of stuff," said Eric then he walked out the door

Aladdin then became really nervous. What if he spilled the bet to her? What if she found out about it? It was just a harmless bet between brothers but what if she got mad and never spoke to him again.

Scene 3

As Belle was leaving the house she ran into Gavin. She got really nervous but she was going to seem cool. She waved and said "Hey"

"Hey Belle, right?" asked Gavin

"Yeah, we go to the same school."W

"I know I have seen you around," Gavin said," What are you doing tonight? Want to go to a movie?"

"Sorry I have to work on a project," Belle said disapointetly she hated Adam even more now

"Who studies on Friday, girls like you should be partying. Having a handsome guy like me take you around and shower you with fun," said a cocky Gavin

"Well I have to get my homework done," said Belle, she wanted to leave this guy was a jerk.

"Another time than."

"Sure," Belle said as she ran off

Scene 4

"Where are you off to tonight?" asked Mr. Triton as Ariel was pacing around at the window waiting for Eric.

"Going for pizza with John," laid Ariel

"You're really dressed up for pizza, "said suspicious Mr. Triton

"Well its just pizza, I better go over their now," said Ariel as she walked over the John's house as her father watched.

"Ariel," said a surprise John when he opened the door

"Can you go out tonight?"

"I thought you had plans," said John

"I do but my dad thinks I am going out with you tonight," blurted Ariel

"Maybe I don't feel like going out tonight."

"Please John, please do this for me! I'll make it up to you I promise."

"Fine, but there is no one to go out with!" said a annoyed John

"Oh crap he is here I better go before he goes up to my house," said Ariel who didn't hear a thing John said.

"Well go, he is not looking at the moment."

"You have to leave to then! He will flip out if he sees you leaving without me," pointed out Ariel

"But I am not ready to go!" exclaimed John

"Oh I am sorry, do you need to put on some make up," taunted Ariel

"Fine," said John as he grabbed his coat and the two of them ran towards Eric as he got out of the car.

"What is he doing here?" asked a confused Eric

"I'm her…," said John but Ariel cut him off

"He is just leaving, actually."

"When do I have be home by," whispered John

"Ten O'clock," Ariel replied and then John walked off.

"What were you telling him?" asked a jealous Eric

"That I won't be home till ten o'clock," said Ariel and then quickly jumped in the car," We better get going!"

Scene 5

"You're here!" said a surprised Belle as she walked in and saw Adam waiting

"Well I really had no choice, did I?" said Adam who almost sounded like he was joking

"We all have choices," pointed out Belle

"Sure whatever let's get this done," said Adam back with his normal sharp tone

"Why do I even bother being nice to you."

Adam just laughed

"What's so funny?"

"It's just funny that you think you are nice to me," laughed Adam

"I am nice to you," snapped Belle

"Then why are you yelling?" laughed Adam

Then Belle wasn't sure why but she joined in on his laughter.

Scene 6

"John, why are you calling me, AGAIN!" said Pocahontas as she answered the phone

"I have nowhere to go tonight, please come with me, I have nowhere to go" pleaded John

"Didn't we already go through this?"

"I really have no idea why you are so mad at me?" asked John

"You are really clueless, you know that," said Pocahontas as she just shook her head. She didn't deserve being treated like this. No real friend uses you as a backup. But he didn't mean to and he just sounded so desperate. No she would not give into him that easily, he would have to grovel.

"About what?" questioned John, "Please come out with me? Or I will come up and get you."

"And how are you going to do that, my parents aren't just going to let a strange boy just walk into our house."

"I bet they would," replied a cocky John

"You wouldn't it!"

"Oh I would," said John as he started walking towards the door

He was there! She could hear him getting closer. Crap she thought. She had to get their before her parents saw him. They would not be happy. She ran out of her room and down the stairs. She opened the door just as he was about to knock and pushed him a side. She grabbed his arm and said "Let's go!"

Scene 7

Jasmine was really uncomfortable. They just sat in silence and didn't talk. She thought she would break the silence but all that came out was "Funny movie". What was wrong with her? She normally didn't act so brainless around him. This whole date thing screwed everything up for them.

Aladdin knew he had to say something. This was such a fail. She will never go out with him again after this lame date. He was just going to have to say something! "I like your shirt." He couldn't believe he just said that.

Jasmine just laughed, she couldn't stop laughing. How could two people go from friends who talked all the time at school to this?

"What is so funny?" asked Aladdin who was confused

"This, us, were acting like idiots," laughed Jasmine. She didn't know what was wrong with her, but she just couldn't stop laughing. Then Aladdin started laughing as well. They laughed for a couple of minutes then Jasmine finally stopped and said "Can we start this date over?"

"Yes please," replied Aladdin

"You know you don't have to try and impress me. I like you for who you are," said Jasmine

"Really?" said an alarmed Aladdin as a huge smile came across his face

Scene 8

"So what's the deal with you and John?" asked Eric casually as they were walking around after dinner

Ariel was alarmed by that questioned. What did he mean by that? She didn't know why it was so hard for her to answer this questioned he was her friend why didn't she just say that?

"I didn't mean to offend you," said Eric who noticed that she went all quiet

"No you didn't, I just don't understand what you mean by that."

"Did you two used to date or something?"

"No," said an alarmed Ariel where would he get an idea like that?

"Oh, that's good I was worried that you did. And he still loved you or something."

"No he definitely doesn't love me," said a very sure Ariel

"I think he does. It's pretty obvious."

"He doesn't," said Ariel she was kind of annoyed by this conversation. "I need to get home, it's almost ten."

"I am sorry if I offended you," said Eric as he ran after her as started walking back to the car. "I was just being a jerk because I am jealous of him."

Ariel stopped and looked back at him and asked "Why?"

"Because I really like you and I wish I was as close to you as he is."

Ariel didn't really know what to say to that. She had never heard anything so romantic before. Eric liked her? No one had ever said that to her before. He started coming closer to her, butterflies filled her stomach. He moved her hair out of her eyes. She looked into his beautiful blue eyes and then he kissed her. As his mouth left hers she blurted out "Wow" then her face turned bright read. Did she really just say that?

Eric just laughed then took her hand and they walked back to his car.

Scene 9

"So why did you have to get out of the house?" asked Pocahontas as her and John walked around Pocahontas's neighbourhood

"Ariel is using me as her alibi you could say," laughed John

"What?" asked Pocahontas

"Her father is over protective. So she told him she was having pizza with me when in reality she was going out on a date with Eric. So I had to act like I was out of the house."

"Of course," said Pocahontas as she started walking away

"Hey," said John as he ran after her," What was that about?"

"Nothing" said Pocahontas

"You have been getting mad at me all night. Obviously something is wrong."

"I just feel like you are using me," admitted Pocahontas

"What? Said a surprised John

"Like a distraction whenever Ariel is busy. It's actually stupid now that I say that out loud," said Pocahontas, embarrassed by what she just said she turned away from him to hide her shame

"Well your wrong," said John and she turned around "You are really fun to hang around with and I feel like I can tell you anything. That's why I hang out with you. Not because Ariel is busy but because you're a great friend."

There he said it. That word that every girl loves to hear from a guy that she may be developing strong feelings for. But she could not let that discourage her. "Well it's almost ten you better go back home so Ariel father doesn't find out." As she forced a smile

"Actually she can wait; she can't just use me whenever she needs me. Plus I am hanging out with you right now."

"She will be really mad at you. Are you sure you want that?"

"Yeah I would rather annoy her than be a lousy friend to you Pocahontas, your right you deserve better than I have been treating you. Let me make it up to you. I'll buy you your favourite chocolate bar at the corner store"

"I would like that," said Pocahontas and then they started walking down the street.

Scene 10

Ariel had been waiting for John for 10 minutes already. Where was he? She was way past curfew and it was all his fault. She got sick of waiting and went inside. Her father was sitting up waiting for her and looked annoyed.

"I saw you get out of that boys car," said a annoyed Mr. Triton
