The Next Day, 3:20 pm..

Pen's POV:
I was busy getting ready for the school spirit festival that was going to be held. I was going to go to Pencil's after school today, but our teacher surprised us with this festival today. So we were headed there instead. It was starting at about 3:50, so we decided to hang out in the front till then. "Ready to go outside, Pencil?" I asked her, with a smile. "Yeah, just let me grab my homework from the classroom." She replied, and walked into the class. All of a sudden, I heard some muttering behind me. "Who's HIS date?" I heard some girl mutter. Huh? "He's available!" I heard another girl quietly squeal. I turned around and saw Bubble, Ice Cube, and Pin. "Hey Pen, you're not dating Pencil, are you?" Ice Cube asked me. "No.. Why?" I asked back. "So you'll be my date to the festival?!" She squealed. "What? Why not.. Uh.. Woody?" I asked, with a queasy, fake smile. "He's taken. So is everyone else. And you're available!" She laughed. "Oh, uh..." I frantically looked around for a way out of this proposition. Then I saw Pencil walk out of the classroom. I quickly grabbed her by the shoulders and whispered, "Please play along." She gave me a confused look, but I ignored it and dragged her over to the girls. "I may be single, but Pencil is.. Uh, my date to the festival!" I winced. They looked to Pencil for approval. Please say yes, please say yes. She opened her mouth in response. "Uh.. Well.."

Cliffhanger! Sorry for it being short. I have to rush for something, no time to explain!
