| AT THE GUYS HOUSE While everyone was outside having a great time, inside the house the phone was ringing. AJ was the only one who heard it, so he went inside to answer it. AJ: Hello? Amanda: HOW COULD YOU AJ!!! I TRUSTED YOU NOT TO TELL ANYONE!!! AJ: Calm down Amanda! Not to tell what? Amanda: ABOUT THE DATE WITH HOWIE!!! AJ: Oh!!! Amanda he�s my friend too, and he was worried�. So I told him. Amanda: I TRUSTED YOU WITH SOMETHING PERSONAL, AJ!!! SOME FRIEND YOU ARE!!! AJ to his surprise was then thrown across the room, hitting the wall and landing on a table. Everyone outside heard the noise and ran inside. Brian: What happened, AJ? AJ: I don�t know, one minute I was one the phone with Amanda yelling at me and then I was flying across the room. Brandy: Why was Amanda yelling at you? AJ: A while ago she told me something that she didn�t want anyone else to know, but I told Howie, because it was sort of about him and I guess she found out. Amber: (quietly) Oh no! AT THE GIRLS HOUSE Howie just watched as Amanda yelled into the phone at AJ. After a minute or so of yelling, Amanda put her finger up to the receiver, and he could hear a scream from the other end. She then hung up the phone with an angry expression on her face. Howie: What did you do to AJ? Amanda: I gave him what I think he deserves! Howie: And that would be? Amanda: Howie, it�s none of your business! Howie: Yes it is, he�s my friend and I have the right to know what happened to him! Amanda: Do you want a demonstration? After she said that, Howie got a little worried about what she did to AJ. Howie: No, just tell me. Amanda answered after a while of silence, thinking if she should tell him. Amanda: (shrugs shoulders) I threw him across the room. Howie: You used your magic to hurt him?!?! I thought you didn�t hurt anyone with your magic! Amanda: I don�t, unless they do what AJ did, which I don�t want or like happening, because it�s happened in my past! Howie: I�m guessing that what AJ told me was something really personal to you. Amanda then sat in a chair. Amanda: Yes it was, but it�s too late now since you already know. Howie: Well, then can you answer a question? Amanda: Sure. Howie: Why are you embarrassed that I was picked to go out with you? Amanda: I�m not embarrassed of you! It�s just that I don�t want you to think that I�m desperate or something. Howie: I certainly doubt that you would be desperate to get a date! But why don�t you want me to think that you�re desperate? Amanda: Because�. I a�ireallyreallylikeyou!!! Howie: (laugh) What? This time a little slower. Amanda: (quietly) I� like you. Amanda blushed and looked away, while Howie just smiled. Howie: I like you too Amanda, that�s why I came over here, to ask you if you would go out with me? Amanda: I� |
