"Hi, my name is Cory and the seventh grade dance is Friday night and I just wondering if you maybe wanted to-"

"I'm sorry, my grandmother's sick." The girl faked a smile as she walked away.

Elena gave Cory a sympathetic smile as he glumly walked back over to her and Shawn.

"Apparently it's not a good time to be a grandmother." Cory huffed as he slumped into his seat.

"Look," He pointed to a girl across the cafeteria, "Her grandmother's coughing flem, her's is hacking blood. And her, her-"

"Woah," Shawn cut him off, "I happen to know she has no grandmother."

"And you just had to point that out now," Elena gave Shawn a pointed look.

"Yeah," Cory frowned, "And somehow she blames me for her death."

"At least you can't sink any lower." Shawn tried to comfort him.

"You're really bad at this," Elena told Shawn before smiling sympathetically at Cory, "Besides, if you don't find a date, I'll go with you."

Shawn's eyes widened as his face snapped towards the girl, "But you already have a date, me!"

Elena sighed as she looked over at Shawn, "And when did you ask me to the dance?"

Cory sighed as he looked at Elena disappointedly, "Elena, you still doubt my best friend? He probably asked you before summer even started."

Elena smirked at him, "A poco? Well, then you shouldn't have a problem telling me exactly how you asked me, huh Shawnie?"

Shawn smiled confidently, "Of course not, I-"

Shawn cut himself off as his eyes widened and he mumbled gibberish as he thought.

"I should really learn to not doubt you instead of him," Cory sighed as he facepalmed.

"It took you this long to realize that?" Elena laughed.

"I didn't ask her," Shawn gasped to himself in shock, "How could I not ask her?"

River walked over to the three and sat down next to Elena, smiling at her.

"Hola Hermosa,"

"Hey," She smiled at him.

A boy walked over to the group and smiled nervously at Elena but before he could say anything Eric was standing behind him.

"Keep it moving pal," He glared at the boy whose eyes widened in fear when he turned to face him.
