@ The ManCave

Ray: Okay, so at that night, you are going to walk in as KD, then you'll--

Henry: Why'd you stop?

Ray: Shh. I think Char is coming. Act natural.

Henry: Okay.

He runs to the couch and quickly sits down, just before the elevator doors open.

Charlotte: Hey Henry, sup Ray.

Ray & Henry: Heeeyyy.

Charlotte: (What's up with those two?) Umm, so what are you guys up to?

Ray & Henry: Uhhhh...

Charlotte: (Yup, something is definitely up.)

Henry: We were just about to play... A game of Mahjong.

Ray: Yeah, that sounds right.

Henry: (Saved it.)

Charlotte: Well, okay then. I just wanted to know if you're still gonna come to the dance Friday. (I really hope Hen can make it. It won't feel the same without him.)

Henry: I don't know Charlotte, I just--

Char: Come on Henry!

Charlotte walks closer to Henry and holds his hand.

Charlotte: The dance won't feel the same without you.

Henry: (Whoa, I never really noticed...how beautiful Char's eyes are. The way the reflect under the light. And her hand is so warm, so comforting. I hope she never lets go. Whoa, where'd that come from?) About the dance, I-- uhh... (Quit babbling like an idiot and say something!) Yeah, I'll be there. I promise.

Charlotte: Thanks Henry. Well, I better go get my dress ready. See you guys later!

Charlotte walks to the elevator and leaves.

Ray: Dude, what was that?

Henry: What was what?

Ray: You know. *mocking Henry* Oh, about the dance, I-- uhh...

Henry: So I stuttered alittle. No big deal.

Ray: Mmmhmm.

--Friday Night's Dance--
Charlotte was in her room, trying on a new dress she bought. Then, she got a text, from Jasper.

Jasper: Her char, my mom and I are waiting outside.

Charlotte got her keys, phone, and her purse together to head outside. Then, Brandon texted her.

Brandon: Hey beautiful. Just wanted to say I'll be waiting 4 u @ the dance. This will b a nite you'll nvr 4get.

She takes her phone and leaves the house. Jasper's mom drives them to Henry's house, to pick him up.

*knock, knock, knock*

Piper: COME IN!!

Jasper: Can't talk, gotta pee.

Jasper runs to the bathroom. The Charlotte enters after him.

Charlotte: Hey Pipes. Is Henry ready?

Piper: Almost, he's upstairs.

Charlotte: Thanks.

Piper: I think I'm gonna spend the night watching the Walking Orange.

Charlotte: Have fun!

Piper: HENRY! CHARLOTTE'S WAITING!

Henry; I'm almost done!

Piper: See you later!
