Back in the mall, Eric, Jim, and Ariel were walking around shopping. Ariel bought some new makeup and jewelry while Jim and Eric waited outside the store. Then it was Ariel's turn to wait outside while Eric and Jim went inside a videogame store. After an hour of walking around, they decided to sit on one of the benches. "So Eric," said Jim breaking the silence. "Got anyone in mind to ask to the winter dance?"

"I don't know yet. Maybe I'll just go solo this year," responded Eric.

"Your not even gonna try to ask anyone?" Jim asked.

"I don't yet. I'm thinking about asking this one girl, but-"

"But nothing! You throw away all this nonsense about "buts" and "what ifs." Man up and ask her!"

"What about you then? Are you going to ask somebody?"

"I don't know yet. Possibly this one girl," said Jim turning bright pink.

"Dude, if you like her than ask her," said Eric as he put his hand on Jim's shoulder.

"Okay, I'll ask my girl to the dance if you ask yours."

"Deal."

"Great, but I kinda need to get home, so good luck with that. See you guys tomorrow," said Ariel butting in. The guys almost forgot she was there.

"Oh, bye," said Jim as Ariel gave him a hug.

"See ya, little red," said Eric as she pulled him into a hug. She walked away and the guys walked off in the other direction.

"So, what's this girls name?" asked Jim.

"Isn't it obvious? I'm gonna ask Ariel."

Ariel walked into her bedroom, threw her bag on the floor, and plopped down on her bed. She was thinking all about her afternoon with Jim and Eric when her phone went off. "Hello?" she answered.

"Ariel, it's Jasmine," said Jasmine over the phone.

"Hey, whats up?"

"Well, me and Al just made a deal about if he can be more of a badass then Eric at your party than I have to go with him to the winter dance."

"And that's a bad thing?"

"I guess not but he said at midnight everyone gets to vote between him and Eric and I have a really bad feeling he is gonna lose."

"But what happens if he loses?"

"He has to take me to this fancy, expensive restaurant."

"I don't really see a problem here. Either way you have a date with Al."

"That's why I called you cause I don't know if it's a date or not. What if he just meant as friends?"

"Maybe you should talk to him about it. See how he feels?"

"I guess I could give that a try, but he's not the easiest person to talk to about feelings."

"I'm sure you can get through it, but either way you still will have a fabulous time with him."

"That's true. Thanks Ariel, I'll see you tomorrow."

"Wait, before you hang up, do you think you can come by tomorrow and help set up?"

"But the party's Friday and tomorrow is Thursday?"

"I know, I just need to plan a few more things and I need help. Lottie's coming too."

"Oh, yeah sure. Can Aurora come?"

"Of course. See you tomorrow."

"Bye." Ariel hang up the phone and went downstairs to eat dinner.
