Chapter 3- Hey, Rydel. Thanks, Brain.

"Everything's working out," Ross said. "I've got a new friend whose as great as my old ones, my mom's awake and weaning herself off the meds, and I'll be totally set up here, as long as I can get the coolest kids to come to my party." Then, Riker, Rocky, and Calum walked into the park, talking about some kind of plan they're trying to work out.

"Okay guys, listen up," Riker said.

"Like Riker Lynch, one of THREE OTHER PEOPLE in this town with the same last name as me. He's the star quarterback, has like eight million Facebook friends, and can beat the crap out of all of them. If he comes, EVERYONE comes. I just need a way to get in with him..." Ross said.

"Rydel's gonna be here any minute. We gotta get this right. What do you guys got?" Riker asked Rocky and Calum.

"Check this out, yo," Rocky said. "One, two, three, here we go." Classy soul music started playing. It looked like Riker was trying to 'get' Rydel with a musical number.

Rocky & Calum:

"Hey Rydel,

Riker:

Hey, Rydel!

Rocky & Calum:

I've been thinkin'

Riker:

I've been thinkin'

Rocky & Calum:

I've got to, got to, got to, got to get with you

Riker:

So true

Rocky & Calum:

I wanna get up all in your bidness, girl

Riker:

Bidness...

Rocky & Calum:

And make you feel real fine

Riker:

Real fine. Not fake fine.

Rocky & Calum:

Hey Rydel

Riker:

Hey, Rydel!

Rocky & Calum:

Come closer

Riker:

Much closer

Rocky & Calum:

I got myself a brand new rocking horse

Riker:

Rocking— wait, what?

Rocky & Calum:

Why don't you climb up here, mama

Rocky:

And rock it, rock it all night long!"

"Okay, okay stop! Yeah…not gonna work," Riker said, frustrated.

"Yeah, so gonna work!" Rocky said. Calum joined him in explaining.

"It's double-edge-smooth."

"Guys, Rydel's a 'good girl'. I can't just hit on her like whack-a-mole. I do that, I will never get the tongue," Riker said.

"The tongue," Rocky and Calum repeated.

"Where are you gonna do it, Riker?" Rocky asked. Calum started laughing and elbowed Rocky.

"You said 'do it'," Calum said, still laughing. Rocky started laughing along with him.

"You two didn't set something up?" Riker asked. "I am very disappointed in you. Rocky. Calum." Rocky and Calum hung their heads in shame. "There's gotta be a place that sets the mood right! Come on, guys.."

"Great!" Ross said. "It's clear I can do something way better than Riker."

"...Think!" Riker continued.

"Exactly." Ross then walked over to Riker, Rocky, and Calum. "Hey, Riker, how about taking her to a scary movie? She'll get scared, lean in, open her mouth to scream, and your tongue will just get sucked in with the jet stream!" Riker, Rocky, and Calum all looked at each other, then back at Ross.

"Whoa!" Riker said.

"Whoa!" Rocky and Calum repeated. Riker gathered his two friends in a small circle.

"A scary movie? Who is this guy?" Riker asked them.

"I'm Ross Lynch. From New York."

"New York? Whoa!" Riker said. "I'm gonna call you... Brain."

"Brain," Rocky and Calum said, holding up their hands as if reading a marquee.

"Brain it is," Ross said. Rocky pointed to the other side of Ross.

"Incoming! Rydel, three o'clock!" he said. Ross backed up and sat on his swing again to watch what happened. "One, two, three, get shizzy!"

"Hey, Rydel!" Riker said. Rydel's best friend, Raini, appeared behind Rydel. "Oh, hey, Raini." Raini walked around Rydel.

"Oh, hi, Riker! Funny us running into you while I'm looking so hot!" Raini said, flipping her hair. Riker walked around Raini to see Rydel. He took her hands and brought her closer to where Rocky and Calum were standing (and dancing).

"Rydel, you look amazing!" Riker said.

"Thanks! I almost didn't wear this, but then I thought, no, wear it!" Rydel said.

"Rydel, there's something I wanna ask you," Riker said.

"Oh, God," Raini muttered.

Rocky & Calum:

"Hey Rydel

Riker:

Hey, Rydel

Rocky & Calum:

I've been thinkin'

Riker:

I've been thinkin'

Riker, Rocky, & Calum:

I want to spend a little special time with you

Rydel:

Aw!

Riker, Rocky, & Calum:

I want to take you to a movie, girl

Riker:

Friday night!

Rocky & Calum:

Down at the mall

Rydel:

It's perfect!

Raini:

No, no, no, no, no

You can't go to the movies on Friday night!

Rocky & Calum:

No, no, she can't do it

Raini:

I said she can't go!

Rocky & Calum:

Uh-uh, no way

Raini:

Cause you already committed to do that thing!

Rydel:

What thing?

Raini:

That thing!

Rydel:

What thing?

Raini:

That thing you said you would do on Friday!

Rydel:

There is no thing!

Raini:

Yes there is, Rydel!

Rydel:

I'm going to the movies Friday night with Riker!

Raini:

No, you're not

Don't contradict me in public, Rydel!

We'll talk about this later!

Rydel:

Fine!"

Raini and Rydel smiled at Riker, Rocky, and Calum.

Riker, Rocky, & Calum:

"Hey, Rydel

I'm begging

Calum:

Please go to the movies on Friday

Rydel:

Sure, I'll come!

Raini:

We SO have to talk."

Rydel and Raini left the park.

Riker, Rocky, & Calum:

"Ooh, baby

We so good

Rocky:

You're gonna get all up in her bidness, yo!"

Riker turned to look at Ross. "Nice work, Brain. I'll see you when school starts." Riker, Rocky, and Calum left for school.

"'I'll see you when school starts'! I'm so in with Riker! Which means everyone's gonna come to my party!" Ross exclaimed. Laura walked into the park near the school that Ross had been at. She gave him his party invitations and his backpack.

"Come on, Laura, let's go so I can pass these invites out," he said.

"Ross, wait," Laura said. "Before you pass those out... If those guys know I'm coming, there won't be a party. I've been trying to tell you for the last month, they hate me."

"Laura, come on. What makes you think they hate you?" Ross asked.

"They write 'we hate you' on my locker. Look, I don't read what they read, watch what they watch, shop where they shop, or think what they think, and neither do you. Trust me, you should stay away from those guys," Laura warned.

"They don't know you like I know you," Ross said. "You're with me now. I have a good feeling about our first day at.. Dan Quayle Junior High." Ross and Laura walked off to school.

A/N- This is probably the longest chapter I've ever written for a story, and I'm gonna be writing an even longer one for this story later. The only reason the chapters in this story are longer than all my other stories is cuz a) I know exactly what's gonna happen here, and b) each chapter has a song in it. Just thought I'd let you know..

Please review!
