YAY! I got reviews and also it's summer and I finally have time to write! But also grrrrr naturally two days after I posted chapter three I found my rough draft! But whatever I like the way I wrote the chapter so it'll stay that way (don't worry both of them followed the same plot, but it sounded dumber in my rough draft so yes). So here is the next chapter. Oh BTW this happens about a week later.

Disclaimer: I'd like to own Clu and Carey, but I don't, sadness.

Thinking About You Lately

Chapter 4

Even More Confusion (or The Dance)

Fi was walking down the hall to her third period class when a head of blond hair tackled her,

"FI!!!!!!"

"AHHH!!" Fi screamed. She paused as she saw the person, "Annie? Why did you feel the urge to tackle me?" Annie smiled,

"Oops, sorry, I just was excited," she paused as she and Fi got up. Annie grabbed Fi's hands, "Fi, this Saturday is the Back to School Dance!" Annie started jumping up and down in bliss, "Can you believe it?!? Our first high school dance! With high school boys!!" Fi smiled,

"Ya, sounds fun, but Annie I've been to dance things before, haven't you?" Annie shook her head. Fi sighed, "Well occasionally mom did group tour things and on the last night at each place the performers and the kids of the performers would have this specially dance thing. But I bet this will be much more fun." Annie smiled,

"Ya, but the big question is who will we go with?" Fi stared at her,

"What do you mean? Isn't it just a casual, no date thing?" Annie bit her lip,

"Well yes it is casual and you don't need a date, but most girls are asking someone and we'll look dumb if we don't have a date!" Fi rolled her eyes,

"Annie, we have three guys who will go with us, I don't think we will look dumb." Annie stared intensely at Fi,

"Ya, if they don't already have dates." Fi's eyes widened as she stared at Annie,

"Right," she paused, "well we will see them at lunch and we can ask one of them to be our dates, cause I think one of them will be happy to get a date who is not one of us." Fi smiled along with Annie,

"Carey." They laughed and Fi looked at the clock.

"Annie, we better get going, class is gonna start in like two minutes! See ya at lunch." With that the girls bolted off in different directions.

At Lunch . . .

Fi got her lunch and approached the table that Annie, Carey, Jack, Clu, and her had designated as their table the first day of school. She saw Carey eating a chicken burger while staring at Julie who was sitting at a table with her group of friends. Clu was sitting poking at the chicken patty. Fi smiled, 'Probably wondering if it is actually chicken.' She plopped down across from him and responded to his unasked question,

"I think it is half real chicken." He looked up at her and smiled,

"Well then I guess it'll be somewhat safe to eat." He then took a bite of it, "Not bad," he laughed, "could use some ketchup." Fi smiled,

"I think I can solve that problem for you," she tossed him two ketchup packets, "I had a feeling you might want some." He smiled as he thought, 'Girl can read my mind, gotta love her, uh, platonically of course.' Just then Jack and Annie sat down across from each other. Annie looked at Fi,

"Hey Fi, guess what?" Fi looked at her,

"What?" Annie smiled,

"Jack's my date for the dance." Fi smiled,

"That's great guys, now I just gotta get one." Her eyes then settled on Clu, "Hey Clu, wanna be my date for the dance on Saturday?" She smiled, he always had been her "date" to the dances she had been to before, and since they had been friends for forever it was no big deal. He was chewing on a mouthful of burger but she was able to make out what he said,

"Gee Fi I'd love to but I got a date, she asked me today." Fi's mouth dropped open along with Annie's and Carey's, who had popped out of his trace when Clu said that he had a date 'before him, how is that possible'?

"Who asked you?" Fi asked. Clu swallowed,

"Julie." If it was possible Fi and Annie's jaws dropped lower and Jack then dropped his at this statement. Then they heard a pop and chips fluttered all around them. Then turned and saw Carey who was red in the face holding the popped chip bag which he had squeezed too hard. His teeth were clenched as he said,

"YOU ARE GOING WITH MY SOUL MATE!!!!!!!!!!!!" Clu then took on the appearance of a deer caught in the headlights,

"She asked me, it's completely platonic bro, we're in a lot of the same classes and have gotten to be good friends. So no worries bro." Carey still was steamed as he mumbled some comments underneath his breathe then Clu thought of something and said, "but hey, bro, you can go with Fi. We can all go it a big group, it'll be fun." Carey and Fi locked eyes and both nodded. The rest of lunch was eaten in silence.

After school . . .

Clu was still trying to avoid Carey who was still steamed that his brother was going with the girl of his dreams. Fi and Annie were still shocked that Julie asked Clu to the dance, they were convinced that she like Carey too. Then Fi caught sight of Julie coming out of the double doors. She ran up to her,

"Julie." Julie turned to the voice,

"Hey Fi! How's it going?" Fi smiled as Annie caught up to them,

"Pretty good, but I just found out today that you asked Clu to the dance on Saturday." Julie bit her lower lip as she twirled a piece of her hair around her index finger,

"Ya, I hope you're not mad at me." Fi gave her a confused look,

"Why would I be mad? I was just surprised." Julie smiled,

"Oh I though you would be mad cause you and Clu seem to have a little thing for each other." Fi raised an eyebrow as her jaw dropped slightly,

"Clu and me? No, we're just best friends, have been for a long time." Julie sighed,

"Oh, okay, that explains the closeness, cause I was convinced that you two had something going cause I could tell that you weren't brother and sister." Fi laughed,

"Well there's not," Fi paused, "well I was just wondering if you wanted to come over on Saturday and get ready with Annie and me cause Clu said we all could go it a big group since Annie is going with my brother Jack and I'm going with Carey." Julie's eyebrows went up,

"You're going with Carey?" Fi saw the shocked look on Julie's face,

"Ya, I've known him as long as I've known Clu, we don't have a thing for each other either." Julie smiled,

"Oh, I'm sorry it's just a little weird imagining myself in your position and not have a thing for at least one of them. But about Saturday, sure, it should fun I can drive us to the dance if you want." Fi smiled,

"That would be great." Julie flipped her hair over her shoulder,

"Okay, I'll see you at . . . Six o'clock?" Fi nodded,

"Sure, six sounds great." Julie than walked over to her car and Carey jumped into the passenger seat like he had done for the past week. They then drove off and Fi, Annie, Jack, and Clu were left waiting for the bus.

At Six O'clock . . .

Fi and Annie were picking out their outfits when Julie arrived and went up to Annie and Fi's room. She was holding about five outfits in her arms and a bag of makeup. Fi and Annie stared at her and Julie answered their unasked question,

"I couldn't decide what to wear and so I couldn't decide what makeup to put on." She tossed her stuff on one of the beds, which happened to be Fi's. The three girls then decided what to wear. Julie ended up wearing a blue tube top and sparkly jeans. Annie ended up wearing a pink spaghetti strap tank top and white jean shorts. And Fi wore a lavender halter-top and jean capris. Julie brought glitter gel with her other makeup and hair supplies. She left her hair down but used some of the glitter gel to make her hair look shiny. Fi did the same thing but puller two pieces of her hair back with purple butterfly clips. Annie pulled her hair back in a simple ponytail and also put some of the glitter gel in her hair. Then the girls applied their normal makeup and Julie put some colored glitter on their cheeks. She smiled and said,

"I know that glitter is like so three years ago, but it's still fun to wear to dances." Fi and Annie nodded in agreement. They checked their outfits and went downstairs to join the guys. All the guys complimented the girls on how they looked. They all jumped into Julie's car, Carey taking his spot in the passenger seat. Clu and Jack were in the back with Fi in the middle. They then realized that Annie didn't have a seat. Julie smiled,

"Well Annie it looks like you get the special spot in between me and Carey." Annie groaned as she glared at Fi, Jack, and Clu who were quietly cracking up in the back. As soon as everyone was buckled in Julie started the car and slipped in a cd. K-ci and Jo-Jo's "Crazy" started playing and she smiled and said, "Carey, it's our favorite song." He smiled and they both started singing along while moving to the music, bumping Annie in the process. 'God, of course it is me who gets stuck in between two dancing singing lovebirds,' she thought as they made their way to the dance with Carey and Julie singing to the music, Annie trying to grin and bear it, and the tri in the back laughing quietly.

Okay that's all for now and FYI I'm not gonna write the dance scene, because it would end up stupid and nothing big is going to happen. It's just going to be like a normal dance, where you dance and talk, the end. And the play tryouts are going to start I think in the tryout, who's going to get which part?!? Well it'll be interesting I promise. And there will be more conflicts like the Clu and Julie conflict, bet you didn't see that one coming. Well I gotta go, have inspiration for my All My Children fic. One last thing REVIEW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
