Dear Hawk,
Jewel gave me a new poster for the dance again since I'd lost mine.
Christmas Chinese New Year Saint Patrick's Snowy's Party
It's after school on December 28th. April 13th. It includes:
Fun games!
Contests like the best costume! No time for it - but if it really was held, the Populars and the Jocks would win it all!
Food and drink!
And finally, a dance! Bring your crush on a date and dance out the evening!
Yeah, I know. She can't make up her mind. So anyways, it's the last period of school and I'm writing in you because I'm bored. Everyone's chatting about the party - and I don't know about Charley and Xander. Oh yeah - there's this jock kid over here in this class too - he's the guy Snowy's going out with. What kind of dog would actually want to hang out with Snowy, anyways?

His name's Ryker Bramblefur, I think. He's got Populars falling head over tails for him. Ugh. Oh - he's talking to me. Wait a second.
Ryker: Hey, kid! What's ya name?
Me: Don't call me kid. I've actually got a name, and it's Skyler. Now buzz off.
Ryker: Like, really! You're telling a jock - you know, like the guy who's going with the beautiful Snowy - to go away? Normally, it's the opposite.
Me: Whatever, so just GO AWAY.
Ryker: Geez, you don't have to be so loud! I -
Me: *swishes paw at him*
*a gust of wind blows him to the other side of the room*
Me: Wow, this power is actually getting better.
Ryker: Humph.
So yeah, he's the perfect match for Snowy. Yes! Class has ended! Wait - I think Snowy's talking to someone? A new kid, I think.

Snowy: Ooh! Perfect jock! Name and interests?
???: The name's Simon... and I have a chickadee called Avery and an imp called Blaze. I like readin', surfin' -
Snowy: Oooh! Surfing! You ever seen Hawaii?
Simon: .... I meant surfing the interwebs. (This phrase is from the Cupcakes, Snowflakette)
Snowy: Oh... Well, then -
Simon: And please stop annoyin' me, cause well, I've gotta go and get ready.
Snowy: But -
Simon: You know what? You really should stop annoyin' me, ya know. *throws syringe at her*
Snowy: *freezes up* Mmf Oof Mffst! (Translation: You're in Outcasts!)
Simon: *walks away*
He's okay, I guess... Wait - is he making eyes at Ink?

Simon: Oh, hi. What's ya name?
Ink: ..... Ink.
Simon: Oh, Ink. Well... you do look nice today.
Me: She looks like that every day.
Simon: Oh! Well, then, for interruptin' our conversation, how 'bout you tell me your name?
Me: Skyler, and this is Ink. Now, I'm going. *leaves*
I think they were still talkin' - I mean talking - when I turned my back. Whatever. I'm going up to my dorm - sorry, my old dorm - to change.

Ugh. I look so.... girly. Aren't I supposed to be dressed in pink and all those lovey dovey stuff? Nope. And for once, I'm leaving my sword and bow in the dorm. Cinders looks as.... partyish as usual. Is partyish even a word? Whatever.

Cinders: Hey, Sky! Wanna party now?
Me: No, cause well.... We've got another party now.
Cinders: Oooh! Am I invited?
Me: Everyone is invited. See you - I have to go now. Don't want to miss the snacks! *dashes away*
Now I'm at a table - myself. I've got a plate of snacks and I'm writing in you. Charley and Xander are coming my way - okay, this is going to get a little.... weird.

Charley: Now what? I'm going with her, that's what.
Xander: But... I asked first! *comes up to my table*
Charley: Oh, yeah? I'm a jock!
Xander: I am too....
Charley: Well then, I'm so much more better than you! I mean, who knows how to party like me?
Xander: I don't even know how do you party.
Charley: Well, then -
Me: Why are you two leaning on my table and arguing?
Charley and Xander: *jumps back* Sorry, Skyler!
Charley: I said it first! I was barely leaning on the table -
Xander: More like you were crushing the table to the ground!
Charley: No, you were!
Me: *sighs* Really?
*fancy, slow music starts to play*
Random Dog who's controlling the music: Time for the dance, everyone!
Me: Oh...
Charley and Xander: Will you -
Me: You asked already! But.... Well, I have to choose one of you....
Charley and Xander: *puppy dog eyes*
Me: Erm....
Xander: Skyler... You look nice today. The dress does fit you... You know, blue and grey...
Charley: I was going to say that!
Xander: But....
Charley: Skyler, your dress is excellent. A good choice. *smiles and winks*
Me: ...... I.... will go with.... Sorry, Charley, but... Xander, I will dance with you.
Charley: But... But -
Me: There will be another time, Charley. But not now.
Wow, I must've sounded like a wise old man. Except - I am not wise. I am not old. And I'm definitely not a man.
Xander: .... Then let's go. Sorry, Charley.
Charley: Okay....
So at least Charley seems fine with it. As he swept me onto the dance floor, I saw a sign I think some kid made as a prank for April's Fools day. Sorry, but wrong day!
Please no dancing on the dance floor.
I don't think anyone saw that.
Me: But there's a problem - I might've sounded like some wise old guy back then, but I CAN'T DANCE!
Xander: .... Neither me. But let's try.
Me: ..... That is so encouraging.
Xander: Thank you. Now - Wait, what?
Guy at the Music Box thing: Let's PARTY!
*rock music starts off*
Me: Is that Cinders? *squints*
Xander: How are we supposed to dance... Oh.
I looked to the side and saw Jewel and Tobias 'rocking out' on the dance floor, with pretty much everyone else. Here's a picture of them (I have to use the old pictures cause I can't take photos while dancing.)

Me: Oookay. Now what?
Xander: .... I guess we do exactly what everyone is doing.
Me: Wait - what do you mean?
Xander: Like them. *nods at Tobias and Jewel*
Me: How?
Xander: Just.... improvise.
Me: But -
Then Xander just started to rock out, pulling me along with him. I think I was screaming the whole way, though I did enjoy myself... Wait - did I just say that? Never mind... So anyways, I learned something! Rocking Out = Screaming + Running around the Dance Floor! Whatever. So anyways, after the dance, we chatted and ate snacks with everyone else. Anyways, on the dance floor, I spotted Snowy and Ryker.

*rock music starts to play*
Snowy: Wait - WHO'S CONTROLLING THE MUSIC?!
Ryker: Cool! *starts to rock out*
Snowy: EEEEEKKKKK!!!!! *gets dragged around all over the place*
Ryker: This is AWESOME!
Snowy comes in
so prepared. Whatever. So I found out Cinders had knocked the guy at the music box out and took over. I was kinda sad at the end, when we had to go.... Not like I like dancing! But... Oh well. I feel as if someone's watching me again... It's creepy. Oh - Link? What does he want?

Me: What do you want?
Link: Oh... Very well. Let's see... Well.... *eyes start to glow grey*
Me: Wait - WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!
Link: Something.... Something will happen.... *walks away in a sort of.... daze?*
Me: What?
Okay, that was weird. But still.... I guess I have to leave now. My dad says that I have to go back to our home.... Sigh. I can't wait to come back again, even there are dorms I have to go there.... It's not like Barktree isn't cool, with all the new friends... But I still want to stay at Furford. Well then, I'll write in you tomorrow, after the long car ride.... *yawns* Well, I better go now and get my bags. See you, Hawk.
