Ok, so the last chapter is finally done, yay. The votes are in and you guys seemed to really care about who you wanted Nico to be with and in the end... it was a tie, so I came up with something that let him be with both of his matches and for the other matches... you guys just have to read and see. =]

Thanks to everyone who voted. Haha DarthMii's vote made me laugh. =]

And special thanks to MySupermanJoeDJDangaa for letting me use her character Joel and for helping me write parts of the chapter. Thanks!!! =]

The cafeteria seemed to shimmer. The light's danced across the floor and I found myself dancing with Hollywood's one and only Chad Dylan Cooper. My stomach exploded with butterflies as his held me close. The music was slow, but fast enough that we could turn in a circle to the beat. It had been a while since I had danced with Chad and I had forgotten how nice it felt to be in his arms. I watched the other matches glide past us and I found myself not being able to stop smiling. I looked up at Chad and he seemed to be having the same problem as me. I looked over Chad's shoulder to see Nico, Tawni and Portlyn dancing together. Tawni and Portlyn were both holding one of Nico's hands. He twirled them in and then back out. Both of the girls giggled and seemed to be having fun. I spotted Grady over by one of the food tables talking to the new lunch lady… well she was more like a lunch girl. She was our age and had her blonde, curly hair tucked into a hairnet, but Grady didn't seem to mind.

"You cooked all this?" Grady asked gesturing towards the tables of food.

"Yeah," the lunch girl said giggling.

"May I have this dance?" Grady kissed her hand, imitating Nico. She nodded and then he led her out onto the dance floor. Then I saw Zora sitting all alone at a table, with her snake wrapped around her neck… poor dear, I hope her match gets here soon.

Ok this is stupid, really stupid. This whole Condor Studio Ball thing is boring me to death. I sat there at a table with my snake wrapped around my neck. I drummed my fingers on the table. It barely made a sound though, because I had practically chewed my nails down to the stubs. The only reason I came to this stupid thing is because Joel was going to be here. I blushed just thinking about him. He was on this new show called Indiana Joel. The dance floor was lit up and sparkly. The light reflected off my dress. It was black, of course, but Tawni had surprisingly sown sequins all over it. I wasn't that surprised about the sequins, I was surprised that Tawni could sew. I picked at a sequin and fixed my number. Number 6. "Zora?" I heard a voice above me. My cheeks felt hot and my hands became sweaty. I looked up to see Joel with his sidekick in crime Paco, hanging on his arm. The ends of the spikes on his jet black hair lit up as the light hit the gel on them. I smiled shyly, me Zora, shy? Ugh what was this boy doing to me? I looked at the number pined on his bottom down, white shirt. Number 6, number 6! My heart beat quickened and I rose to my feet. My snake hissed.

"Be nice," I hissed back.

"Looks like we were matched up with each other huh." He looked at his feet and kicked a streamer that fell down.

"Yep." We both looked away from each other and I spotted Sonny dancing with Chad. She had this silly grin on her face, that made me want to gag, but at least she was happy. She looked my way and seemed to sense that I was in trouble.

"Dance," she mouthed. I looked up at Joel. He was still playing with the streamer.

"Uh, do you want to dance?" He looked up and his icy blue eyes met mine and he smiled at me with his perfectly white teeth.

"Sure," he said. He took my hand and we glided out onto the dance floor, I smiled the whole way. Paco jumped to the floor, but followed us. My snake slithered off to probably the vents. He placed his hands on my hips and I placed mine on his shoulders and suddenly things went… weird. I mean really weird, I mean strangely, uncomfortable… weird. Joel seemed to be feeling the same way. He was trying to lean away from me and my smile was replaced with a frown.

"What do I have, cooties?" Joel smiled.

"Pretty much." We both laughed and then the uneasy feeling came back in my stomach when I saw Chad leaning in towards Sonny. Then Paco vanished.

"Hey were is-" I was interrupted by shrieks and laughter from across the room. I turned back towards Chad to see Paco's lips up against his. My hand flew over my mouth. Sonny was kissing the back of Paco's head, but quickly stopped. She stood in awe like the rest of us as Chad continued to kiss Paco.

"Uh, Chad," Sonny said.

"Mhhmf," Chad said. I looked at Joel and I could see he was holding back laughter.

"You're kissing a monkey!" Chad's eyes shot open and he flung Paco backwards and he landed on a table. Everyone sitting there shrieked. Chad flew backwards into another table causing the punch bowl to sky rocket into the air right towards Sonny.

"Noooo!" Everything seemed to be in slow motion. Chad ran over to Sonny and shielded her from the flying punch bowl. At least the bowl was only plastic. When things seemed to settle down, Chad stood there covered in punch.

"My hero." Sonny leaned in and pecked Chad on his monkey kissing lips.

"Awkward," Joel and I said at the same time. He smiled over at me and held out his hand.

"To the vents?" Butterflies darted around in my stomach.

"To the vents," I echoed and grabbed his hand. We walked towards the vent and Joel talked along the way.

"You know that whole Chad kissing a monkey thing?" I nodded. "Courtesy of Joel." He popped his collar with his free hand and then looked over at Chad. "I hate that guy." My hand flew to my heart.

"You do?" He smiled and nodded. "But, how did you get the monkey to kiss Chad?"

"Well you see, I showed him a picture of Chad and…" He rambled on and on about his prank as he got into the vents. I was only half listening. He grabbed my other hand and I took one last glance at the ball. The floor still shimmered and the light still reflected off the sequins on my dress. Sonny and Chad were cleaning up the punch, while Mr. Condor stood over them. They were both still smiling. I smiled and shook my head as Joel pulled me into the vents.

"What a night."
