Talent Show, Fandom High Auditorium, Friday Afternoon, 07.07.06

The all too familiar opening chords of Europe's The Final Countdown sounded and after a short delay for dramatic effect, GOB danced out onto the auditorium stage. He pulled blue and gold handkerchief chains out of both sleeves (which was difficult with a hand still in a cast) until the chains clearly met in the middle underneath his shirt. A large burst of smoke appeared on stage and when it cleared, the handkerchiefs had turned into two cages of doves. One of the doves fell over in the cage, choking on the smoke.

Over the next couple minutes he disappeared cards, linked and unlinked rings, and made his cast say "GO GREMLINS." It was slightly more impressive than should normally be expected from GOB.

When the music wound down, GOB stepped up to the microphone. "Welcome, ladies, gentlemen, and others. Today you will witness the finest example of amateur talent you have ever seen. Unless they suck. If they suck, you should make sure they know they suck. Not just today. Boo them this weekend, too. They'll deserve it for making me a liar."

"Anyway, let's hear it for today's acts!"

"We could hang out this weekend, maybe," he suggested. "I'm supposed to be watching the World Cup finals with Nadia, but how about going for burgers or something?"

Marie wondered if he was asking her to hang out or to go on a date. And she wondered if other girls would just know.

She nodded. "Yeah, sure, I don't have any plans aside from doing radio tonight with Bel and Willow."

"Great," Conner said with a grin. "Saturday, then? Just you and me, food and maybe a movie or something?"

Food and a movie? That really kind of sounded like a date. Marie frantically looked around for Willow.

"Sounds great," she managed to reply, hoping her voice wasn't squeaking or anything.

"Okay," Conner said, cheerfully unaware of any panicking on Marie's end. "It's a date then."

HE SAID THE 'D' WORD.

Marie's was in full-fledged panic mode now.

"Uh huh," she said. "I gotta go find Willow. Talk to you later!"

"Sure?" Conner said, wondering why she was in such a hurry all of a sudden. "Tomorrow, 'kay?"

Marie nodded. "Yeah, tomorrow."

And then she fleed.
