(Y = You, C = Cory)

Y~ Ready for tonight?

It took awhile for him to reply.

C- As ready as I'll ever be.

When we had come back from Mikey's house, the gang had been super worried. Afraid we were smashed into a pulp by Ched or something. While we were gone, Marina brought up the courage to ask Toby to the dance. Fortunately, he said yes, or I would've turned his head into a toaster.

Y~ To be perfectly honest, the only sport I've ever played is soccer. Marina played a bit of soccer & LAX before, but that's it.

We planned on going to the football game together, to hide in plain sight. Simon and Gertrude were a bit anxious, considering both the bully and her ex would be present. But, I have a feeling things will turn out for the better.

C- I know what you mean. I've done a couple sports here and there, but I'm not too into it. We are, after all, pretty much nerds.

Because, why? Well, there are three parts of a story, right? Right.

Y~ *snorts* Wow. When'd you come to that conclusion?

The beginning, middle . . .

C- I don't know, smartypants. Please, enlighten me.

. . . And the twist. (Did anyone get that reference? If you did, you can have a cookie! 🍪❤️)

Y~ Haha! You're the best Cory. Anyhow, I'll see you later! BOI!

C- LOL! Later Y/N!

At the football game, we sat down, not very excited for the game. And when it started, we got ourselves a surprise. Tank's brothers allowed Ched to take the charge from the opposing team.

"This is what happens when you mess with our brother!" One says angrily.

"Yeah!" Scolds the second.

"Don't make it happen again." Warns the third.

"Wow, Tank!" Gertrude laughs. "You're brothers do care for you!" I smile at that.

"They always have, Tank." I tell him soothingly, placing a hand on his shoulder. Marina simply gave him an eager squeeze, and we continued to watch the game. Too bad this wasn't our happy ending, right?

(A/N> There's your outfit. One thing tho: The socks are up to the knees only, and you have matching leggings that end an inch above the socks. NU PANTI SHOTS! That will be all, Pearl.)

Now, we were at the dance.

"May I have this dance, m'lady?" Simon asks Getrude with a chuckle.

"You may!" GT giggles, taking his hand. They walk out to the dance floor. It was only ten seconds before Mari said something.

"C'mon, Tobes! Let's dance!" She laughs excitedly, pulling him behind her. That left . . . Me and Cory. We both let out a sigh.

"D'you know how to dance?" Cory inquires. I shake my head, softly chuckling. I took classes for lyrical, but not for the box step.

"Not at all. You?" I ask him. He shakes his head, letting out a soft laugh as well.

"You wanna spectate and see who dances the worst?" Cory asks me slowly. I nod furiously, the both of us rushing to a table. This would be fun!
^ ^ ^

"I guess we're the last ones here." Simon points out as we wrap up our dungeons and dragons game.

"No kidding." I say, looking around.

"Wanna go play some more at the treehouse?" Marina asks the group, standing up. She pushes her chair in.

"Yes!" We all cheer. We begin our hike to our home base, unknowingly walking into what was once our hangout spot. And when we arrived . . .

. . . It wasn't exactly what we were expecting.

"My—M-my treehouse! It's! It's gone! W-w-who could have d-done this?" Toby cries out. Marina gives him another hug, followed by a kiss on the cheek. He began to blush, but he was still sobbing.

"You don't have to answer that." I tell Cory. "We, unfortunately, already know." It was a pretty unspeakable answer.

"Ched will pay for what he's done. Don't you worry, Tank." Gertrude informs the boy, probably already plotting things in her head. I think we were all getting ideas.

"Yeah, no kidding." Simon growls, his hands turning into fists. We were angered beyond belief!

"Yeah." Says Camera-face.

"No kidding."

A/N: I hope you enjoyed! I guess it COULD have been longer, but I think this chapter took long enough. Ciao!
