It was the middle of the night. Lila awoke to the sound of wailing coming from the living room. She went quickly to investigate and found Liam twisting and turning in his sleep on the couch.

"Liam! Liam, wake up!" said Lila as she gently tried to coax him into consciousness. "You're having a bad dream – wake up!"

Immediately Liam's eyes shot open, staring in a panic at Lila. He still seemed disoriented. "W-where am I...? What...?"

"It's alright. I'm here." Lila embraced Liam, and eventually he started to calm down. "What on earth were you dreaming about?'

Liam breathed heavily. "My mother."

"Oh. Do you miss her?"

"Sometimes. And you? Is your mother still with you?"

"No...but I miss her, too."

The two of them sat on the couch in the dark, in silence, lost in thought. Finally Liam spoke. "I think I'm alright now. Thank you, Lila."

"Are you sure? I'll stay with you a while longer if you'd like."

"I don't want to take away from your sleep..."

"It's okay. I don't have to get ready for school for a few more hours. We can just stay up and talk."

"About what?"

"Well, I can tell you where I'm from, and maybe I can learn a little more about you."

Liam smiled. "Alright. You first."

"Well...I'm originally from a small farming community by the name of Pleasantville..."

Now that the girls were officially a team again, they all sat together at lunch, even Patty, who for the longest time chose to do her own thing. At first it was awkward, and they were self-conscious of the stares from their classmates, but eventually it became business as usual at P.S. 118.

One day during lunch period, Patty placed five tickets on the table in front of Rhonda, Lila, Phoebe, and Helga.

Helga peered at the tickets, then scoffed derisively. "Ronnie Matthews? Thanks, but I think I'll pass."

"Yeah," chimed in Rhonda. "Ronnie Matthews hasn't been relevant in like, what, 3 years?"

"Apparently this is his big 'comeback tour'," replied Patty. "My dad got these from a business client."

"Oh, I'm sure you'll get some takers," said Helga. "Let's not forget that some of us are HUGE Ronnie Matthews fans..."

"Don't even start, Helga," warned Phoebe, not looking up from her lunch.

"Yeah," said Rhonda. "That was a long time ago...when I was a stupid kid with no taste..."

"I dunno, I kinda like his music..." Lila added timidly.

"There, you see? Now all you have to do is find 3 more saps that listen to that crap and problem solved!"

"You don't understand," Patty said. "I told my dad I had four friends that would love to see Ronnie Matthews. You all have to come."

At that the group was speechless. At last Phoebe said "You consider us your friends?"

Patty looked down at her feet. "I know I don't show it very often, and I know I usually seem kind of distant, but you guys are the closest thing to friends I've had in a long time. I just thought this would be a good opportunity to spend some time together and..."
