I took my phone that had been thrown on the bed when Alois had forced me to the wall. I picked it and went to Facetime. I hit Maddie's contact. I waited as my phone loaded and began ringing to my three friends.

"Hello!" they all said happily as they became visible. Maddie was in the middle, her face taking up the most space. Gabby was to the right of her, beaming (she wanted to know if he'd kissed me yet or something), and Caitlin, who had a completely bored expression on and looked like she was so bored she would die. The questions came pouring in on me.

"So what's it like?"

"Is he cuter in real life?"

"Are you done yet?"

I laughed at hearing them. After everything that had just happened, it was good to have friends to talk to.

"Let me start at the beginning girls! It's cool Maddie; yes he is Gabby, and are you even listening Cate?"

"Sorry," Catilin said, half asleep. "It's late. Plus I've been covering for you whenever your parents came. It's hard to impersonate you. Your parents are still up, and I have to keep the time machine going. Your parents are really suspicious. You know that after tonight we'll have to tell them what we're doing. "

I rolled my eyes. "Sure. They will totally believe that a bunch of 7th grade girls made a time machine to rescue a boy that went through hell and back. Anyway, you won't believe what I've been through." I began retelling the story, trying to be as descriptive as possible.

"Ohhhhh," they said as I told the dancing part. "So was it a Cinderella moment?"

"No."

Caitlin smirked, Gabby gave a long sigh, and Maddie said, "Now all we need is to place Claude in front of a fireplace and make him sing 'Hellfire'. Then we have the perfect Disney movie!"

As I tried explaining the whole day, they kept making sly comments and pretending to sway whenever Alois did something 'cute' or 'hot' in their opinion. Yep, my friends are idiots, but I love them.

As I finished, they all became silent. I guess the whole "singing" thing scared them.

Gabby looked at me in the eye and said, "Nic, I told you Alois was dangerous and a complete jerk! Honestly, why do you really want to save him!? He hurt you! "

I sighed. I had explained this to them so many times. "Because Alois deservers a second chance at life. He was forced to live a living hell. I need to save him. It's like… something that I need to do."

"She just wants him to kiss her and feel like Cinderella." Maddie said, smirking.

I (without meaning to) blushed and my face quickly grew red. I hated when they did that. So I found Alois handsome. But that wasn't the reason I was here. He'd never like me the way I liked him anyway. Alois wasn't the kind of boy that put girls before himself and Claude.

"Cate!" I snapped, seeing her falling asleep. Maddie hit her on the back, hard.

"DARK! WHAT!" Cate yelled, as she woke up. Gabby and Maddie quickly shushed her. "Hey!" she said, "I have to man everything! I'm allowed to dream of Dark! Here," She said, getting out of the phone's picture and heading somewhere. "I'm sending energy to your phone via gamma waves."

"Thanks, fangirl, "I said. If this mission was successful, Cate would go to the late 90's where she'd try to save Phantom Dark (this conceited dark angel boy from France or something that she loves). First was Alois, for he was much more deserving of life then that crazy-haired womanizer.

Maddie laughed, "Why can't we save Ciel too? Team Ciel forever!"

"No way! Team Finni forever!

"Girls, it's totally Team Sebby-chan!"

If I hadn't just been through the craziest day of my life, I would've hung up at their stupid fangirl bickering. It was obviously Team Alois.

"Guys, I need to watch videos on YouTube about teaching people how to tango. I'll be up for a while doing that, so can you guys please at least try to care about me?" I said, tired and slightly angry at them. "We can't save Ciel because all he and Alois would do is fight! We need to keep peace! Anyway, I'm gonna start watching tango how-to videos for the next, like, hour. Good night!"

Without letting them say anything more, I ended the phone call and closed my eyes. A lowly maid. And of all the things, Alois chose dance teacher to be my 'main job'. I sighed. I waited for my friends to re-call, but they never did.

I felt my pocket knife in my dress pocket. I kept it close to me in case of Claude or Sebastian or, well anyone. It was small and red, and couldn't even probably cut cloth.

I slowly got up and put Hannah's nightgown on. What Hannah had said…I hadn't told my friends. I wouldn't tell anyone. Not until it was time. I noticed tears coming down my face. The truth hurt. I wiped my dark eyes and sat back in bed. Now I had to watch videos on things that I had no idea about.

Fun.
