           Toby had dropped me off at home a few hours after he had asked me out to dinner, so I could pick a dress out and some shoes to buy for that night. I called Toby when I got home, asking if Claire could stop by my house. About thirty minutes later, I heard a knock at the door. It was Claire," Hey Aria! I heard what happened. Congrats on the dinner date." I replied," Thanks Claire! Can we go buy a dress and some shoes?" She nodded, accepting to go to some stores. I grabbed my keys, and we headded out the door. As we both got into Claire's car, she said," You know what? I think You and Toby would be a cute couple." I smiled and thought about what she said. She's right, we would be a cute couple. I can tell He loves me, and I love him.

Toby's P.O.V

          I went into my bedroom, picking an outfit out for our date. I thought I would wear the outfit I wore for Chester Lee's song 'I Whistle While I work It'. I thought it was the only formal thing I had, but then I saw a tuxedo and the pair of shoes I had wore at a party, not too long ago. I took that out instead, put in on my bed, and went into the bathroom to take a shower. The water was hot, but I quickly got used to it. After twenty minutes of showering, I walked back into my bedroom to put the tux and shoes on. They felt like it did at the party, good fitting and snug. I went back into the bathroom to comb and put gel in my hair, so I would look formal. I thought to myself," She's gonna love it."

Aria's P.O.V.

          Claire and I had reached the store, just in time to pick out some shoes and a dress, and put it on before I had to head to Toby's. When we walked in the store, we walked to the dresses. We found one that both caught our eyes. It was a strapless, pink, satin dress with three flowers on the right thigh. It was ruffled, to the chest, down to the stomach area. I knew this was the dress I wanted. We both went to the dressing room, so I could try the dress on. I quickly got a room, closed the door, took the clothes off that I had on, and slipped the dress on. It was perfect! I came out tge show Claire the dress. Her eyes were so big, it looked like they could have popped out of her head. She smiled, and said," It's beautiful! He will love it!" I thanked her smiling, feeling good about tonight. She said right there and then," How about I will go pick out some flat shoes, and you go buy the dress. I realized I didn't have any money, until Claire took out two hundred dollars for the dress. I told her we didn't have to buy the dress, but she insisted we would. I ran over to the counter with the money, and bought the one hundred dollar dress. I still had a one hundred dollar bill left, so I found Claire, and gave it back. She refused and replied," How about you keep it, just in case you want to buy something else. " Thanks Claire! You are a good friend you know that." I thanked her as I held the dress. She had found some shoes while I was paying for the dress. They were black flats, with black roses on them. We both though they were perfect. I tryed them on and suprisingly, they were my size. We bought the shoes, feeling happy, happy, happy. We both got into the car, and drove back to my house. When we went into the house, I immedietly started to get ready. I first took a shower, so I would look at feel clean. I got out of the shower ten minutes later, then heard a big bang. "Claire, are you ok? What happed?" I yelled. I heard someone scream my name," Aria, help!" It was Claire, she was in the corner. I ran into the living room, and couldn't believe my eyes.

Toby's P.O.V.

          I sat on the couch, waiting for Aria. I wondered why she wasn't here yet. Then I heard my phone ring, It was Claire. I picked it up," Hello?" She was crying, yelling on the top of her lungs," Toby, help! Come to Aria's house quick!" She hung up, but not on purpose. I knew there was something wrong, so I ran out of the house, knowing that I had my keys. I jumped in the car, and sped to Aria's house.

         While I sped there, two firetrucks, an ambulance, and some police cars drove past me, heading the same direction that I was going in. I started to panic, wondering what had happened. When I got there, I got out of the car. I looked at Aria's house, with wide eyes. It was on fire! There were many emergency veichles there, but I didn't see Aria. I saw someone running up to me, crying. It was Claire. She had bags under her eyes, soot on her face a clothes and was coughing. " Where's Aria?" I asked, panicing. She pointed and said," S-She's in the house, the firemen can't get to her from all of the heat and smoke." I looked at her, then the firemen, then back at the house. I thought about my asthma for a moment, but didn't care about it. All I cared about, was Aria. I ran towards the house, a fireman stopped me," Sir you may not enter the building, it's too dangerous in there." I looked at him, like I didn't care. I ran into the house anyway, not seeing a thing through the smoke. It was very hard to breathe from all of it surrounding me. I saw something on the wooden floor, it looked like a person, that had passed out on the floor. It had to be her, it just had to be. I sprinted towards the person, hoping it was her. I couldn't tell if it was her, with all of the soot on their body, but I could definetly tell they only had a towel around them. I coughed and wheezed from all of the smoke, feeling like I was going to pass out. I picked the person up from the floor, holding them tight and close to me. I ran towards the door, coughing and wheezing. I suddenly saw nothing, it was all black, pitch black. I felt myself fall onto the floor, with a big thump. I heard Claire, screaming," HE HASN'T COME OUT OF THERE YET! TOBY, NO NO NO PLEASE COME OUT OF THERE! Then, the sound became fuzzy. Next thing I know, I couldn't hear a thing. I thought to myself," Am I dead?"
