"You got your own private dance and a kiss???" Posey simply shrieked with envy.

"Well, just on the cheek..." Charlie was still blushing.

"I knew wearing the necklace would work!" Posey continued. "Now I guess you don't even need the pictures from my dance! Did you seriously dance with all of your dormmates???"

"Yeah," Charlie replied, still in as much awe as her friend. "Even Pace."

"Pace was there???" Posey's voice rose even higher.

"For a while," Charlie told her. "But he left pretty fast. I think he was going to the girls academy to see his girlfriend after their dance. He had a bouquet of flowers."

"Pace has a girlfriend???" Posey was in shock. "Then why would he come dance with you?"

"I don't know," Charlie frowned. "But if he's dating a girl from Juno, it would certainly explain why he hates me so much. I'm not very popular over there..."

"Hmm. Is she pretty?" asked Posey thoughtfully. "Now I'm totally curious about all this."

"Me too..." said Charlie.

"Ready to fly?" Rib grinned when the boys assembled to help Charlie with her cheer stunt. "I think I know what the problem is. Why we haven't been successful."

"Really?" Charlie raised her brows.

"Yep. I was studying some other things that fly," said Rib. "Ghosts... vampire bats... harpies... and I realized what they all have in common, is wings. Well, except the ghost. Unless it's the ghost of something that had wings. But anyways, unless you're planning on crossing over anytime soon, I think what you need is a set of wings!"

"Nice idea, Rib," Demeter said sarcastically. "We'll just wait for Charlie to sprout a set."

"Don't be dumb. You can't just grow wings," Rib shook his head. "Although if she got bit by a vampire, she could transform into something with wings, but my idea was to make a set. We can get a bunch of feathers and-"

"I think she'd have better luck getting bit by Dracula," laughed Demeter.

"Well... There's always Pace," laughed Rib grimly.

"Very funny," Charlie crossed her arms. "Can we just practice now?"

"Yes. Let us get to work," said Max as the boys got into formation and hoisted Charlie into the air.

"Ouch!" Charlie fell onto the floor as their stunt was poorly-performed once again.

"Well, at least you didn't land on Pace's bed again," Rib ruffled his hair.

"Yeah! We're improving!" laughed Apollo.

"Yeah..." Charlie sighed as Max helped her to her feet.

"So, try again?" asked Demeter.

"Not tonight," Charlie grimaced as she rubbed her hip.

"Okay, well we still have a week to help you practice before Spring Break," said Demeter.

"Hey, speaking of Spring Break, are you all still coming back to my place?" Rib looked around eagerly. "We can do all sorts of fun things!"

"It sounds enjoyable," smiled Max.

"Yeah, it might be cool," said Apollo. "What do you think?" he turned to Charlie.

"Well, I don't know..." Charlie was imagining the types of things that were considered "fun" to Rib.

"Come on!" prodded Rib. "We have lots of land, a pool, horses, and it's close to a huge shopping plaza!"

"Really?" Charlie's eyes lit up at the word shopping.

"Yeah! And if we're all together, we can keep working on your cheerleading," added Demeter.

"Okay then! Count me in!" Charlie beamed.

"Sweet!" Rib grinned. "I'm gonna go start packing now! I don't wanna forget my CD! We can listen to it while I show you around the haunted house I'm making in my basement!"

"There had to be a catch," said Charlie as the others shook their heads.

"It's too bad our Spring Breaks aren't the same week," Posey cried through the phone that night. "But are you really going to Rib's house?"

"I guess so," Charlie told her. "But it's getting late," she added, standing up and glancing at the moon outside.

"Yeah, I should be going too," said Posey. "I have a huge test tomorrow."

"Huh?" Charlie hadn't heard her friend, for a familiar shape was crossing the fields outside.

"I said I have a huge test tomorrow," repeated Posey. "You sound distracted. What's up?"

"Oh. Nothing. I just saw Pace walking by out the window," said Charlie.

"Again?" Posey sighed. "Where on earth does that boy go???"

"I really don't know," said Charlie. "But I'm about to find out."
