"Jeanette, are you really wearing that to the party?" asked Brittany incredulously.

Jeanette looked down at her dress and frowned. It was a white sleeveless mini dress with a light purple waistband. "I think it's pretty."

"Not the dress," sighed Brittany. She took a hold of the chain around Jeanette's neck and pulled it from out of the dress where Jeanette had hid it. "This necklace."

Jeanette snatched the locket away from Brittany and scowled. "What's wrong with it," she inquired. It had been a birthday gift from Simon when they were twelve. She had worn it pretty much everyday. And she really didn't like the thought of taking it off. It had a picture of the two of them inside when they were thirteen, and a more recent one from the year before. It was silver, and there was a J on the front of it in purple rhinestones. She loved it.

"It's too plain," insisted Brittany. "You can't have a plain dress, and a plain necklace. Here." She reached into her purse and fished out a pretty fake pearl necklace. "Where this instead."

Knowing that if she didn't obey she'd get a lot of crap about it, Jeanette unclasped the chain around her neck, and put the pearl one on in it's place. She placed the locket gently in her purse so it wouldn't get tangled up in itself.

Mina threw her arms in the air excitedly. "Who Hoo! PAAARRRTTTAAAYYY!"


"Wow, kinda crowded here huh?" observed Mina.

That was an understatement.

It looked as though no one could even breath without accidentally hitting someone. And glancing over at the snack table that had been set up, almost everything was gone already. And the girls were on time.

"Looks like Mark went all out for this party,"said Jeanette slowly keeping step with her sisters.

Brittany rolled her eyes at them. "Puh-lease. You two are so lame,. This party is nothing. Now c'mon." She grabbed both girls wrists and started to drag them. "Let's find the boys."

"They're probably not here," said Mina. "Danny said he'd call when he got here."

Brittany groaned. "why do boys have to suck so much?"

"Hey," said Mina amused. "Ya gotta love em. C'mon, let's go dance, I love this song!"

Brittany and Mina strolled off to the living room where everyone was dancing. Jeanette hung back, too timid and shy to have the courage to free dance in front of a bunch of people.

They better get here soon,she thought. Or this night is gonna suck.

"Jeanette!"

Jeanette swung around in the direction of the voice. Coming straight towards her than non other than Elizabeth Gilbert. She wore a shapeless whit sundress, and her hair was tied into what seemed like a complicated not atop her head. Now Jeanette wasn't an expert on fashion, but she did know that Brittany would kill her if she wore such a silly outfit. But that was Elizabeth. She as something you would call...something else...

"Oh, uh, hey Elizabeth," said Jeanette as politely as possible. As soon as she was dragged into the conversation, she wanted to be pulled out.

Elizabeth glared at her curiously. "where's Simon? I thought he was coming here with you?"

"Well yeah but-" Jeanette frowned suddenly. "Wait, how do you know?"

"I asked Simon to the dance at school today, and he said he couldn't go with me, because he was going with you," she explained. Now she frowned. "Right?"

Jeanette scowled in disgust. But not wanting to hurt Elizabeth's feelings, she nodded, and mumbled "Yes," through clenched teeth.

Right as she said this, the front door of the large house opened, and three of the Seville boys entered the party.

"I gotta go," she growled. She left Elizabeth with a confused and startled look on her face.

He didn't really wanna come to this party," she seethed. He just didn't wanna go with her!

Not bothering to greet his brothers, Jeanette walked right up to Simon, and pointed an accusing finger at his chest.

"You didn't wanna come here with me at all!"

Simon stared at her startled. The other boys looked just as surprised.

"Wh-What are you-"

"You just didn't wanna come here with Elizabeth!"

that shut him up. Simon stared at her, guilt clouding his expression. At this point, the other girls had joined them, and were glancing around awkwardly. Mina reached out and grabbed Danny's hand. "Yeah, so we're gonna go..." They both took off running towards the dance floor. To escape from all the awkwardness of standing around there.

Simon reached out and grabbed Jeanette's arm. "Can we please talk outside?"

"So you can run away from me again?!"snapped Jeanette furiously. Simon dragged her outside anyway to avoid causing a scene. He led her to the back of the house that was facing the woods.

He turned back to her,and let her continue with her rant.

"Seriously Simon I am sick and tired of hoping and praying that you will just randomly wake up out of this funk you're in! And I thought maybe you did this tonight, but no! You were just trying to avoid Elizabeth!"

" I just didn't wanna hurt her feelings-"

"So why did you wanna hurt mine?!"

Simon stared at her, surprised. "Jeanette I didn't-"

"Why didn't you just say you didn't feel like it like you said to me and your brothers?!"

"Look," snapped Simon. "I swear that's not the only reason I came. I thought 'hey Simon,maybe instead of sitting in your bed and thinking about how miserable you are, you should try to forget everything for a night and have fun' that was all I was trying to do!"

"But why are you so miserable?" she asked exasperatedly. "And what happened to 'you can tell me anything'?"

"Well what happened to asking?" he countered.

"Fine! What's wrong?"

Simon looked away from her. "I don't wanna talk about it."

"Exactly!" She turned from him in disgust. "I knew that would be the answer! Do you know how much you've hurt me these last couple of months? I felt rejected, like I'd just lost my best friend in the world. Felt lonely, like the biggest loser on Earth. I couldn't confide to you how I was feeling, because one, you wouldn't listen, or even seem to care, and two, because you were the reason!" She was on the verge of tears now. She swung around to face him. "Did you even consider how I felt?"

Simon didn't answer. His attention was up at the sky. Jeanette went up and tried to push him. "You still don't care!"

Simon gripped her chin in his thumb and forefinger. He silently turned her head toward the starry night sky. She was too emotionally drained to protest.

The black sky was dotted with tiny diamond like stars. The moon was bright and full. Only...it was green.

"What the hell?" mumbled Jeanette. The mast seemed to be growing bigger and bigger. The air was starting to smell funny. "What is that?"

"I-i don't know.." mumbled Simon. Behind his black framed lenses, his blue eyes grew in panic. "But it's coming straight towards us!"

"WHAT?!" screamed Jeanette. "What do we do?"

"run into the woods!" Simon took off at full speed, and Jeanette tried to follow as closely as possible at a clumsy sprint.

Damn these fricken heels! She cursed mentally. Why the hell did I let Brittany talk me into wearing these?!

They ran and ran, until they thought they were far away enough.

"What do you thunk that was?" asked Jeanette breathlessly.

"A meteorite maybe," gasped Simon. "But it's weird. Usually they tell you about that kind of stuff on the news."

"I doubt anyone was expecting that Simon," said Jeanette. "We don't even-"

A sudden strong wave of air sent both of them flying several feet back from where they were standing. A loud BOOM! sounded throughout the entire area. The air stunk of strong chemicals.

Jeanette struggled to sit up. "i guess that thing landed," she said meekly.

Simon hopped to his feet in a rush. "C'mon! We have to go make sure that everyone is okay!" he dragged her to her feet, and pulled her along the way they had come.

"I really don't believe we should be breathing this stuff in," coughed Jeanette.

"Then I can't imagine how strong it is around the house." He started walking even faster.

When they neared the edge of the forest, they could see the meteorite was much bigger than either of them could have imagined. Luckily, it just missed the house by a couple of yards.

"Thank god," breathed Simon. "now let's go check on the others." Just as he took a step forward, Jeanette put her arm out and stopped him. When he looked at her curiously, she pointed towards the meteor.

Gathered around the large rock, was all of the party goers. They all stood in a neat circle around the thing, silently staring at it.

Simon and Jeanette glanced at each other in confusion. What were they all doing?

Simon took a cautious step forward. His shoe crunched down heavily upon a stick, breaking the silence.

Every head turned to look at the two 15 year-olds. Jeanette almost screamed out in terror. Looking in all of the eyes of her sisters, and Simon''s brothers, their pupils had undulated. Instead of pupils, all you could see were their irises. And those irises were staring right at the bespectacled teenagers. And they looked angry.

Ohhhh SH**!
