Emma scowled at Cassie.
"What's a 'reality show?"
"TWO MILLION POINTS." Diana announced at her machine. Wally grinned.
"Two million, five hundred thousand."
"GAH!"
The sound of the joysticks clicking filled the air. Emma looked at Cassie as Barry cleared his throat.
"Em-Emma, Professor Xavier says we shouldn't be using our talents outside of class...and you're on probation already...."

Cassie looked at Emma. Wally was lucky... his thoughts would be to fast to read... Cassie on the other hand. Didn't this girl know anything about privacy? As far as her question about reality shows.
' Trust me ... you don't wanna know."
Cassie wanted to say 'if you don't mind I like my thoughts to be my own' but she had given away to much as it was. She wasn't to worried about Bruce, Diana, or Barry... but Emma. Emma was in a whole other class all together.

"Shut UP Barry. I swear, you're such a spaz." Emma snarked at Barry before taking a sip of her New Coke.
"I'm not a spaz, I just follow the rules, Emma. And Professor Xavier is still mad about that time you brainwashed the football team into forgetting to put on their pants before the Homecoming game."
Wally snorted and Ms. Pac-Man got eaten by a ghost.
"Oops." Now Diana was ahead in points. Wally went back to concentrating on the game. Emma smirked at Cassie.
"Your boyfriend is easily distracted, isn't he? Hmm...Barry, you gave me an idea..." Suddenly, Cassie started feeling strongly like maybe she should take her shirt off...

The urge to take off her shirt was strong. Damn that Emma! Cassie ran to the bathroom quickly while she was taking off her shirt. Once in the girl's room Cassie was panting...
" Stupid..........tele......path....."
Damn it ! Cassie didn't know how to fight a telepath.

"C-cassie? What happ-" Another live lost. Diana gave Emma a slight smile as she once again regained the lead in points. Barry gave a disapproving head shake.
"Oh, Barry, stop being such a downer." Emma coolly took another sip of her New Coke. She gave Cassie another 'nudge, this time to come out of the bathroom and start dancing. She almost snorted her coke up her nose thinking about it.

" Damn it..."
Emma's wouldn't stop she nudged Cassie not only around without her shirt on dancing but to sing that cheesy song from Flashdance.
'First, when there's nothing but a slow glowing dream
That your fear seems to hide deep inside your mind
All alone I have cried silent tears full of pride
In a world made of steel, made of stone
Well I hear the music, close my eyes, feel the rhythm
Wrap around, take a hold of my heart
What a feeling, bein's believin'
I can't have it all, now I'm dancin' for my life
Take your passion, and make it happen
Pictures come alive, you can dance right through your life
Now I hear the music, close my eyes, I am rhythm
In a flash it takes hold of my heart
with ... "now I'm dancing through my life"
What a feeling
What a feeling (I am music now), bein's believin' (I am rhythm now)
Pictures come alive, you can dance right through your life
What a feeling (I can really have it all)
What a feeling (Pictures come alive when I call)
I can have it all (I can really have it all)
Have it all (Pictures come alive when I call)
(call, call, call, call, what a feeling) I can have it all
(Bein's believin') bein's believin'
(Take your passion, make it happen) make it happen
(What a feeling) what a feeling... "

"Buh..." Wally's attention was rapidly becoming VERY divided. Diana was leaping out to a huge lead in scoring. Wally's head went back and forth from Cassie to the screen, back to Cassie, back to the screen, back to Cassie's bra...lingering on the bra....oh yeah, back to the screen..
"HA ha ha ha..." Emma was laughing fit to kill, and now everyone in the arcade had stopped playing or eating to stare at the new girl singing and dancing. Bruce Banner leaned over to Hal Jordan.
"Singing a popular song in public like that? Must be some new craze."
"Yeah, I think they do it in Japan."

Wally gritted his teeth. Focus, he told himself. Yes, that is the most perfect body you've ever seen over there getting down and funky, but if you lose this, you won't have any 80's memorabelia to bring back to the dance. Plus, Diana is sort of a jerk as a teenager. It's time for her to LEARN A LESSON!
Wally focused back on the game and his score started climbing. Soon, he and Diana were back to being neck and neck in score.
"Oh, for goodness' sakes," Emma scowled. "What does it take to make these losers fold?" She decided to refocus on Cassie. Maybe if Cassie went over to that birthday party in the corner and decided to start dancing on their cake...
*SPLASH!*
"AUGH!" Emma screamed as her jumbo-sized New Coke seemed just to appear above her head, upside-down and dumped all over her. She was soaked.
"WHO DID THAT?! WHICH ONE OF YOU DID THAT?!!!!" Emma stood up, dripping and shook off. New Coke flew all over Diana and her screen.
"Emma, knock it off! I can't see-" Wah wah wah....Diana lost her last life in the game. The "GAME OVER" message popped up and Diana slapped her hands on the machine, groaning. A small cheer erupted from the crowd - Wally had beaten Diana's high score!
"Way to go, kid!" Barry thumped Wally on the back.
"YOU ALL STINK." Emma stomped off to the bathroom, giving them all a dirty look. "When I grow up, I am going to make sure that NO students EVER get away with anything as long as I'm around." And with that, she slammed the bathroom door behind her.
"Thanks!" Wally nodded at Barry, and then ran over to Cassie. He took off his coat and handed it to her. "Why'd you decide to start dancing like that? I know cheerleaders like making a little noise at a competition, but that was...okay, I admit it, it was pretty awesome."
They were interrupted by Diana walking up to them. The crowd went silent as the former champion looked Wally up and down. Then, she offered him her hand.
"A true Amazon is graceful in fair defeat." Wally shook her hand and the crowd clapped. Diana handed over her hypercolor legwarmers. They turned from hot pink to neon green where Wally touched them.
"Thank you." He replied. "I just wanted to give these to my girlfriend to wear to a dance we're going to. I promise to return them to you....er, someday."
Diana nodded.
"Very well. I look forward to that day, and to you granting me a rematch on that very day."
Wally held the legwarmers up in the air and the crowd cheered again.
"I guess there's only one question left," Wally said to Cassie as they headed for the door. "And that's who dumped the Coke on Emma's head."
"Oh, that..." Barry suddenly piped up, straightening his bow tie. "Did you know that if you move fast enough, objects can seem to move by themselves?"

Cassie looked at Barry.
" Thanks for what you did. I owe you one... and I'll bring your jacket back to you..... um one day.."
Barry smiled at her.
" Don't worry about it.... what Emma was doing was totally uncalled for... you guys are kinda cool. I mean you can sing like a pop star and your man there kicks butt at Ms. Pac- Man"
Barry gave Cassie clung on to the jacket and then looked over at Wally.
" I think it's time we get outta here..."

"Yup. We don't want to miss the dance. See you later, Barry. A LOT later."
The two of them ran back to the hill above Hero High where they'd left the Cosmic Treadmill.
"No wonder none of the kids were on campus. Today's a Saturday!" Wally exclaimed while resetting the chronometer. "All right. Ready to head back to 2011?"
The two of them started jogging...and within minutes came to a stop back in Barry's lab. They put the sheet back over the treadmill and headed out.

Teddy let out an annoyed huff as he looked at his hair in the mirror. It wasn't being as compliant as he liked, but then again, what did he care? He was just doing in a big green shapeless sack anyway. He had avoided shapeshifting because that destroyed part of the fun of dressing up, and he had, instead opted to go about it the difficult way.
This involved a lot of light brown face paint, a small amount of dark brown face paint for his nose, and the acquisition of what appeared to be a very manly turtleneck/moo moo combination. On his feet he wore a pair of green sneakers with white toes.
He hoped he looked all right. Billy could easily magic himself up a marvelous constume, and he'd look like a weird furry drag queen. Would people even know who he was?
This was his own fault for google imaging "80s Theodore" on the internet. A chipmunk in a green dress.
Sigh.

"Amigad Teddy, you look adorable. If I didn't already have a date, I'd steal you to be mine," Wallace said from where he was casually draped across the back of his desk chair. He gave Teddy's bottom a little pinch before returning to the application of his make up. "Do I look totally tacky?" he asked. "I hope so."
He leaned in closer, peering at himself in the mirror as he applied his guyliner. It had to be just riiiight. "Should I use bronzer? I mean, I'm pale as all hell...buuuut....yeah, I should."
Wallace fluffed his hair, now bleached golden blonde. "These shorts are going to ride up my a** all night. I'll be constantly picking wedgies...but it's worth it to look this fierce."
He brushed bronzer over his cheeks, some pink sheer lip gloss, and then put on the yellow fingerless gloves. Crossing his arms over his chest, he clamped his hands down on his shoulders and focused big, pouting, pink lips on Teddy's reflection. "Will you wake me up before you go go? Take me dancing tonight?"

Cassie walked back to her room she changed into a t-shirt and jeans then walked out and handed Wally the jacket she 'borrowed' from Barry.
" Here you go."
After Wally handed her Diana's leggings Cassie winked at him and walked off.
" See you at the dance."
This was going to be so much fun. Diana and Barry are totally gonna freak.
********************************************************
Anakin had fallen asleep inside Mysia's stable thus his illusion of Achilles faded and the young jedi exposed for who he truly was... He woke up slowly on top of some hay and looked at Mysia.
" Maybe I was wrong... maybe Corran isn't coming after you?"
Mysia put her trunk on Anakin's shoulder looking at him with sad eyes she knew something was up..
" Or... he could just be waiting for the right moment....like the dance."
Of course Corran would attack the Hero High dance. It made sense... but then there was... Karen.... What if she went? What if she got hurt?.... Even if she wouldn't believe him Anakin had to warn her so he talked to her telepathically. " Karen... There's something bad that's going to happen tonight at the dance. Just giving you a heads up."

A flash of blue light illuminated the floor beneath Wallace and Teddy's dorm door and no sooner does it subside, than...
rattatattattattatta...
A rapid knock on the dorm door and Billy's voice emanated from the other side.
"Teddy? Are ya decent? If you are I can wait a few minutes for you to get...not decent!"

*The last few days leading up to the dance, no one saw much of Chris outside of training and meals. Not even Jen. Was he ashamed of her fleeing his lips? Nope. Was he being emo over Cassie? No bawing to be found.
Instead, Chris spent the last few days in his room with Youtube and trying to learn to dance like Michael Jackson in Smooth Criminal. Jen seemed impressed with his outfit so he thought it would neat for him to dance like he knew what he was doing. And the results were....mixed.
He wasn't bad but he felt absolutely ridiculous. But the major was once he thought he was doing well, he began to get cocky and ended up falling on his a** at some point. The biggest bright spot was he figured out how to do the famous Anti-Gravity Lean from the video. He discovered that if he switched into his armor, the suit had enough strength to do it even with his center of gravity off.*
Jen should be impressed!
*Chris locked his door behind him and headed to the girl's dorm to pick up his date.*
