A week went by. Dennis's ankle healed and he no longer needed a crutch to get around. This meant the day of Dennis's house party was today. At 7:00 that night, Calvin and his sisters were dropped off at Dennis's house and they were really surprised when they saw it.

"Good God." Rumiko said "Look at the size of this place."

"I know." Calvin said "How does…?"

"Hey, Cal!" He heard someone shout. Calvin turned around to see Sam dressed up in a black and purple tuxedo.

"Wow, Sam. You look sharp." Ami said

"Thanks." He said "It belonged to my dad. Now come on, Antea and the others are already inside, and wait until you see what Dennis is wearing."

"Well, look who made it after all." Dennis said as he walked out the front door. When Calvin and the others saw him, they couldn't believe what he was wearing: A white tuxedo and fedora with wrap-around shades.

"Hi, Handsome." Rumiko said coming up to him.

"Hey, Rumi." He said as they kissed on the lips. "Jeez, Calvin. You could have made some effort to dress up." He said noticing Calvin wearing his casual clothing.

"Well unlike your parents, mine can't afford fancy clothing." Calvin said

"Well let's not just stand here, let's party." He said as they walked inside.


When they got in, they couldn't believe what they saw. In one room was a dance floor with live music, another was a game room complete with laser tag, virtual reality games, karaoke, you name it. They couldn't believe their eyes.

"Alright, a dance floor!" Sam said as his backpack began shaking. "Oops, I almost forgot." Sam unzipped the bag and Kiwi Jr. jumped right out and ran all around the house.

"You brought Kiwi Jr.?" Calvin asked

"Well, I wasn't gonna leave her at the school where my mom could find her."

"Fine." Dennis sighed "But she better not eat my pet chinchilla."

"You have a chinchilla?" Ami squealed with joy.

"You keep Mexican food as a pet?" Sam asked

"'Chinchilla' not 'chimichanga'" Dennis said. "Come on, I'll show you."

"You go ahead. I'm hitting the dance floor." Sam said as he walked up to the dance floor and began dancing wildly. "Come on, Cal. Show us what moves you got."

"I don't dance." Calvin said "I have two wrong feet."

"Two left feet." Rumiko corrected.

"Come on, anyone can dance." Sam said as he pulled Calvin towards him. "It's just moving to music."

"Well, if you put it that way…" He said as he began moving his legs back and forth.

"That's it, Calvin. Just like that." Sam said as Calvin continued to dance. One moment he was just swaying his arms, the next he was doing a full-fledged break dance; this attracted the attention of some of the soccer team.

"Hey, Antea." Lance said to Antea who was talking with the other cheerleaders. "Your boyfriend's out on the dance floor getting down."

"This I gotta see." She said as she walked out to the dance floor.


Meanwhile, Dennis had brought out a cage with his pet chinchilla from his room to show Ami and Rumiko.

"This is Rufus." He said showing them the small grey and white rodent. "I've had him ever since I was 7 years old. He's been my best friend ever since."

"Aww. He's so cute." Ami said. She then got closer and began talking to him. "I'm sorry people are killing you and turning you into fur coats."

"Who would have guessed that big bad Dennis has a soft spot for animals?" Rumiko said

"I know." Dennis said "Your sister too."

"She's loved animals all her life. She even converted to veganism when she was five."

After a while, Ami and Rumiko were helping themselves to the buffet of hors d'oeuvres that had been laid out.

"Hey, Ami." Rumiko said. "Have you tried the gelatin cubes yet? They're delicious."

"Do you even know what gelatin's made of?" Ami asked eating a piece of veggie sushi. "It's made of the hooves and bones of horses and other animals." (A/N: That's a fact, but some of you probably knew that). Just then, Dennis walked up.

"Hello ladies." He said "How are you enjoying yourselves tonight?"

"Fine, thanks for asking." Ami said

"This place is amazing!" Rumiko said "How do your parent's afford all of this?"

"Well, my mom's the District Attorney and my dad's the CEO of a huge publishing company."

"That's right." Ami said "Your dad wrote that one book: Lyoko: A World Without Danger. He's a really great author."

"Are you kidding me?" Dennis said "He's a thief and a liar!"

"What do you mean?" Rumiko asked

"Come with me." Dennis said as they followed him.


Back on the dance floor, the last song just ended and Calvin, noticing Antea, caught up to her.

"That was some damn good dancing." She said "Even better then our slow dance at the gelato bar."

"Oooh." Sam said overhearing the conversation. "So you have danced before, and with your girlfriend."

"There's a difference between slow dancing and break dancing, Sam." Calvin said "Besides, it was with two people that one time."

"Wanna get some food?" Antea asked

"Sure." Calvin said


In Dennis's parents' room, Dennis pulled out a huge manuscript from one of the dresser drawers.

"Read this." He said giving Ami the manuscript.

"Lyoko: A World Without Danger. Written on May 24, 2015 by Ulrich Stern." Ami said reading the first sentence. "He is a thief."

"My God." Rumiko said "Ulrich wrote a book?"

"Yep." Dennis said "He sent it to a newspaper that Dad was working for. He stole it and wrote it off as his own work. Now he makes over a million euros a year and your dad doesn't get a cent."

"Someone should sue." Ami said

"Um, hello. He has money and power, and he's married to the best lawyer in France." Dennis said "He always gets his way. And if I give you the manuscript, he'll find out and kill me. He's that good."

"We'll find a way." Ami said "Maybe Calvin can help, he's smart."

"Yeah. Well, I'd better get downstairs. Dinner's almost ready." Dennis said as he headed back downstairs.


In a short time, everyone was seated at a huge table in the dining room. Dennis and his brothers had just prepared a huge feast for the entire team/cheerleading squad. When everyone had finished, Dennis tapped his glass with his fork in an attempt to get everyone's attention. However, nobody heard him; they were too busy talking.

"Shut up!" William Jr. shouted at the top of his lungs. Everyone then stopped talking. "My little brother has something he wants to tell you."

"Thank you." He said and then turned to the others. "Listen everyone, had it not been for the combined efforts of this team, we never would have won Kadic's first national title in 25 years. However, we mostly have Calvin to thank. His morale and determination was what kept you all from giving up when I was injured in our final game. Not to mention he covered for me when I was facing suspension, which is why I'm making the captain's armband and the number 10 jersey a permanent present to him to express my gratitude."

The entire table cheered for him. Calvin was speechless.

"As soon as I graduate, you'll be leading this team to future victories until the day you graduate." Dennis said to Calvin and then turned his attention to the entire table and raised his glass. "A toast to the kid who's gonna take us to nationals next year!" The entire team cheered as he raised their glasses.

"Well, I'd love to hang with you guys some more." William Jr. said as he got up. "But I got to get back to Russell and do some more studying."

"Alright then." Dennis said pulling out a large bottle. "Wine anyone?"

"I don't know." Calvin said "I don't think that's such a good idea."

"Come on, Calvin. One glass isn't gonna kill you." Dennis said "Besides, it's France so it's perfectly legal."

"Alright. Alright." Calvin said pouring himself a glass. "I'll have a glass. Just get off my back."


"So then I say, 'You ain't tellin' me how I do, I'll find my own way around.'" Calvin said drunk. He and Sam had consumed six glasses each, and they were already taking their toll.

"Shut up, why don't ya!" Sam shouted

"What didya say about my girl?"

"I ain't said nothin'" Sam said as he jumped right on Calvin and they both got involved in a small fist fight.

"Oh Lord." Rumiko said to herself. "Please stop embarrassing me."

"Don't bother, Rumiko. If I know anything about alcohol intoxication, they'll be at it all night." Dennis said "They'll be fine by the morning. Let's go to my room."

"Okay." Rumiko said as they headed upstairs into Dennis's room. Dennis's room was probably one of the most luxurious bedrooms she had ever seen. It had a king-sized waterbed, a private kitchen and bathroom, and even a home theatre system. Dennis then jumped into his bed.

"Well, aren't you gonna get on too?" Dennis asked.

"Why would I…?" Rumiko said but stopped and immediately got the message. "Wait, are you asking me to…?"

"Only if you feel like it. I'm not that type of person." Dennis said.

"Well, you've probably done it with many other girls, being the flirtatious playboy you are."

"Actually, you'll be the first. I've never gone all the way with the others because I didn't love them as much as you."

"I'm probably gonna regret this for the rest of my life." Rumiko said. "But what the hell, it might as well be with someone I love."

Dennis then locked the door and dimmed the lights so that no one could find out and barge in. Dennis then got on his bed with Rumiko. They began kissing and making out, Rumiko had started to remove his jacket and shirt. Before they knew it, they had gone the distance. (A/N: Yeah, that was kind of suckish the way I said it. But go easy, it's my first time writing something like this).
