Title: Love at Second Sight Part 4 Author: Rena ShieldsRated: G E-Mail: Kylara21@hotmail.com AN: Hello, everyone! I am currently in a VERY good mood, somethingthat is generally rare to those who know and spend their oh-so-priceless timewith me (in other words, my friends) and the only bad thing about this is: I'mnot at school so I can't spread my happiness around. Thank god. Ok, justkidding. I am NOT a pessimist but I can be so be wary! (Half full or halfempty?) Oh, by the way! I've nicknamed this chapter. . . Heh heh, NM theGenius' Revenge! Ok . . . Back to Amy! ****************************************************************************** * "Ok, guys, I called the number for the band info. It turnsout that since the deadline for signing up has been and gone, but since wealready signed up, it's ok. There is only one other band competing, some group called The Five Musketeers, and they (the people running the dance)wouldn't tell me who they are. They're being very secretive. Also . . . andthis . . . and blah blah." Amy had been innocently getting her revenge on the girls forblackmailing her by being SO into it, she scared them. They tolerated it because 1,they knew it was revenge, 2, they needed her in the band. So . . . Mina abruptly interrupted right before Amy started explaining theenormous practice schedule she had just pulled out of nowhere. " So, um, Amy,er, what's the schedule for the day of the dance?" "Instead of that creepy practice schedule." She added under her breath. Amy nodded. " What happens is this. After about half an hour from thetime the dance starts, people will be collecting at the dance. When 7:30pmcomes, the other band will play one song. When they're done, we'll play oursong. The crowd will vote depending on applause, and whoever wins plays forthe night. The winners get breaks every hour, and while when they're gonefor the breaks a tape will play. At midnight, the winning band reveals whothey are, and after they do, we all do. Then the awards will be given out,then we go home." Mina, Lita, Raye, and Serena blinked. Serena said," Heh heh, uh, thanks Ames! Great! Oh, look at the time! Meeting's over! Gotta book it! I'm outtie!" Serena flew out in a storm of dust. Followed by Mina. Then Lita. Then Raye, who then realized she was running away from home, and reluctantly went back. "Hi Raye! Since you're the only one who lives here, I guess I'll onlytell YOU the practice schedule!" As Serena was running, she swore she could hear a faint scream ofhorror from Cherry Hill as she ran. ******************************************************************** Days Pass By . . .

The date: October 30 ****************************************************************************** **** The day of the dance. The Tsukino Household Everyone was in a hurry. Serena had locked herself up in the bathroomearly that morning and, as an explanation, said," I have to treat my hair! That's washing it 3 times, adding extra conditioner, trimming it, blow-dryingit, combing EACH strand, putting it in place, washing it again, sun dryingit, than one more time with sun AND hair-drying. That'll take at leasthalf the day! Too bad, Sammy!" When Serena finally appeared at three, with perfectly dry hair,looking exactly the same as it had before, Sammy raced into the bathroom, then hollerred,"You didn't have to make the bathroom smell likeconditioner!!!" The Anderson Household: Amy had gotten up at 5 that morning to take a shower, dress, dryher hair, read three books, get 7 chapters ahead in calculus, and she wasdone by 4. She then called Raye. Cherry Hill Raye, who had avoided Amy except for meetings for the past fewweeks, talked a little warily on the phone, as if she expected Amy to pull out another chart. She, too, had gotten up super-early to clean thetemple, wake up Chad, Grandpa, and get ready. They all had planned costumes (Rayebeing the designer) and were all burning time till 5:30, when they were goingto go to Raye's for a let's-get-ready-to-go-to-the-dance thing. So, Amy cameover early to-what else? Show Raye charts. The Aino Household Mina woke up at 3:00, screaming. Throwing Artemis to thefloor, she ran around stepping on extremely huge stuffed animals and screeching,"I have two hours to get ready to go to Raye's to get ready!!!!!!" As she raninto the bathroom in a flurry of towels and Pj's, she accidentally steppedon Artemis. He thought,"Definite animal abuse . . . " Lita's Place Lita woke up very early that morning. The first thing she did at4:30am was bake brownies. Setting them to cool on a counter, she took ashower, did her hair, and ironed her costume (and Serena's; what if she tried toiron her own?). She was down by 3:00, so she called Mina in order to see ifshe'd like to burn some time together. She heard a scream, a yell, an angryyowl, and some screeching. Rolling her eyes, she decided to just nap hertime away-and, of course, bake some cookies for the consolation prize. Forthe other band, of course! Darien's Place Darien wondered if he'd see Serena at the dance. Scratch that;she'd be there. Would he find her was the interesting part. He sighed. Catching Serena was like trying to find the end of the rainbow. Or trying toget Dorothy back home without those ruby-red slippers. It was impossible. He sighed again. Shaking his head, he got up and took his own shower, butsince he didn't have as much hair as some people do, it didn't take himlonger than 5 minutes. All at the same time everyone but Raye thought,'Time to get going'. Raye wasn't going anywhere, and the girls had to go to Raye's, but Darienneeded to pick up the costume that Andrew's little sister had made him. Hedidn't even know what he was. ****************************************************************************** ******* AN: I'm WAY to tired to write much more than this, so it'll be a little while longer before you get to see our darling couple, now won't it! Ok, now I sound crazy. I need sleep . . . Yawn. Till the next chapter! Adios!
