Tina and Jimmy Jr : So You Think You Can Dance

Chapter 3

Tina thought the idea over in her head, trying to decide what she wanted to do with this idea. Her eyes closed as she thought of the pros and cons.

Pros? She got to dance with none other than Jimmy Pesto Jr all night, and probably touch his butt a lot.

Cons? She would probably end up grounded, and her mom and dad would never trust her again.

"Louise, I've made up my mind," Tina said with a pained expression on her face.

"Yes?" Louise asked eagerly.

"I want to sneak out."

"YES!" Louise yelled. "My bad, that was very unprofessional. Meet me by the plant by the window in five seconds, and don't bring anyone."

"What about mom and da-?"

"Tina! No one."

"Oh okay."

Tina followed Louise over to the window that showed the restaurant across the street, Jimmy Pesto's. She looked out the window and saw Jimmy Jr dancing while bussing dishes. She sighed as Louise began to think out her plan.

"Oh T I've got it! Gene, go ask mom when we're leaving for dinner."

"Got it!" Gene got up and ran into the kitchen. He ran back within ten seconds. "She said ten to six, whatever that means."

"Thanks Gene, here have a penny." Louise handed Gene a penny as he slouched back into the sofa.

"I'm rich!" Gene yelled as he inspected the penny.

"So T, when is he picking you up?" Louise asked quietly.

"Well, he said six, will it work?"

"It'll be close, but I think we can make it work. You just need to explain to mom and dad that you need to go across the street to Pesto's for some help with homework and I'll distract them while you leave."

"Really Louise?" Tina asked, surprised.

"Hey I need to do one good thing a year, and this one will be fun at least."

Tina smiled and went to hug Louise who stopped her.

"I'd rather not, but maybe go brush your teeth T. You ate fish for lunch again, didn't you?"

Tina nodded before she ran to the bathroom as Louise was thinking through her idea some more.

It drew closer to six as Tina began to get more and more nervous.

"T, this is a dance class right?" Louise asked Tina as Linda and Bob were getting ready in their room.

"Yeah, why?"

"Well you might want to bring something a little more flashy then your typical outfit."

"What's wrong with this?"

"Oh nothing it's just that it's boring. I'll help you find something," Louise assured her as she snuck the two of them into Tina's room.

"Okay so you're going to have to put it in your backpack so that'll be the homework."

"Got it. So what should I wear?"

Louise pulled out a bright pink dress. "What the hell is this?"

"It's a dress, I think it's -"

"Absolute trash."

Louise threw it on the bed as she sorted through more dresses. Finally she pulled one out and smiled.

"Oh I think that this one will do."
