Dance with me

"This is ridiculous!" Eric yells at the top of his longs. The day was not starting on the right foot for him. "Bunji hurry out of the bathroom!" "I'm not finish yet! Use one of the other bathrooms." Bunji says. "JD is one and Meg is the other. Hurry up I have a big game today!" Finally Bunji comes out of the bathroom not too happy. "Done. I hope you drown!" He tells his brother before going to his room.

Eric was rushing to get ready he could not fathom being late for a very important game in his opinion. After a quick shower Eric gets out goes to his room changes and quickly heads out of the door saying a quick goodbye to his parents, he didn't even hear his sister calling out to wait for her. "Can you believe he didn't wait for me?" Meg complains to her mom. Helen smiles at her before responding. "Maybe if you would have been ready on time Eric would have waited for you, now you have to catch up to him. "No problem." Meg says and goes bionic. "See you latter mom." Rock-1 goes out the door chasing after her baseball crazy brother.

She reached him as he was nearing the highway. "Wait for me!" She calls out. Eric stops at once. "What are you doing? You are not to turn bionic unless it is an emergency!" He scolds her. Meg turns her bionics off. "I would not have if you had waited for me." She answers back. Eric rolls his eyes at her after all he didn't have time to waste on waiting for her to finish getting ready. "Let's go or I'll be late." He says.

The two arrive with plenty of time while Eric goes to the locker room to change Meg walks around, she comes to a stop when she sees the cheerleading squad practicing their routine. Jane, a friend of Meg's, sees her standing not to far from them. "Hey Meg!" She calls out. "Hi Jane!" Meg replies. "Wow! You girls are amazing! I saw you doing all those great moves." Jane smiles brightly after all she is the captain of the cheerleading squad. "I'm glad you like it. We have to thank our newest member for the inspiration." She points to a red-headed girl sitting near the cooler. "Her name is Nicole, she just moved here from England."

Jane and Meg walk up to Nicole. "Nicole I would like you to meet a friend of mine." Jane says. Nicole looks up then stands up. "This is Meg; she's the star of the track team." "I am not." Meg protest. "Hello Nicole." Meg says politely as she holds her hand up for a handshake. Nicole smiles brightly and equally greats her back. "Very nice to meet you. How do you do?" She says and shakes Meg's hand. "I'm doing well, thank you. How do you like the US so far?" "It is nice, but I'm not used to the heat."

"You will get use to it in time." Says Jane. "Why are you girls practicing here? Shouldn't you be in the football field?" Meg asks Jane. "Well, the football field is been prep for the season and the groundskeeper doesn't want us ruining the new grass." Jane replies. "Coach Nolan said we could practice here before the baseball team starts their practice." Just then . . ."Ok. Girls the boys are ready for practice." Coach Nolan tells the cheerleading squad.

All the girls take their things and move out to the sidelines to watch the team practice. The boys come out and start lining up not far from the girls, listening carefully to the coach's instructions. "That's my brother Eric." Meg tells Nicole pointing to the tall blond boy standing at the very end of the line. "What position does he play?" "He's the center fielder, team captain and star." Meg tells her. Nicole nods and keeps an eye on the cute blond.

"Nicole, why did you and your family move here?" Meg asks suddenly. "My parents both work in the medical field; my father is a Brain Surgeon and my mother is a Geneticist. They were offered very lucrative positions in the San Francisco International Hospital. I want to follow in their footsteps, but I haven't decided which field of medicine I want to study." Meg was speechless. "What do your parents do?" Nicole asks back. "My father works as an Aerospace Engineer and my mother is a Marine Biologist. Unlike you I have no idea what I want to study or if I should to follow in either of my parents footsteps."

"Do you have any siblings?" "Yes. I have two sisters; Diane is the next after me and like you she is unsure what she wants to study, my youngest sister, Angelina, on the other hand has her heart set on journalism. Do you have any more siblings besides Eric?" "Yes. I have two more brothers; my older brother, JD is graduating soon and wants to become a Physicist. My younger brother, Bunji, still in school and he too doesn't know what he wants." Both girls laugh realizing how much they have in common.

The girls keep on watching practice until it finishes; Eric walks to his sister and her new friend. "Did you enjoy practice?" He casually asks them. "Interesting." Nicole answers back. Meg smiles at her brother before introducing her. "This is Nicole; she's the new member of the cheerleading squad."

"By your accent I can tell you are from England. Am I correct?" Eric inquires. "Yes sir, you are correct." Meg could tell her brother was interested in her by the look on his eyes. "Are you doing anything else today?" "Are you asking me out?" "What if I am? Nicole gives Eric a shy smile before answering. "I have to call my parents and find out if they need me at home or if there are errands that need to be done."

"I'll be right back." Eric says and heads to the locker-room to change. "Your brother is cute." Nicole tells Meg once Eric is out of hearing range. "I think he likes you too." Is her answer. Nicole's bright green eyes light up with delight. "While we wait for your brother I'll call my parents for permission." But before Nicole dials the number on her cell her sister Diane walks in. "What are you doing?" Diane asks. "I'm calling mom and dad." "Who is she?" Diane did not seem happy her big sister was making a new friend.

"She is my new friend Meg. She and her brother have invited me out after school." Nicole answers. "Am I invited?" Diane asks sarcastically. Nicole is embarrassed by the way her sister is acting. "Would you like to come with us?" Meg asks Diane. "No, thank you. I am too busy to waste time out." With that Diane walks away. "I am so sorry. My sister is difficult to say the least." "No need to apologize; I understand." Nicole makes the call and her parents give their permission.

"I hope you don't mind waiting a little longer I too have to change from my uniform." "It's ok." Meg says. Nicole runs to the girls' locker room to change. While she is gone Eric comes out after changing he is surprised the pretty red-head is gone. "She's gone? Did I do something to upset her?" His sister begins to laugh before she answers him. . . "She's changing from her uniform; she'll be back soon."

A while latter all three of them are walking towards the beach. "This place is beautiful." Nicole tells her new friends. "I'm glad you like it." Says Eric. "I think the flowers are blooming for you alone." Meg giggles at her brother's attempt to charm the beautiful red-headed vixen. "Are you from England or Ireland?" "I'm from both; my mom is Irish and my dad is English. I have my mother's hair, but both my parents have green eyes."

"I think your eyes are beautiful and did I mention green is my favorite color?" At that statement both Meg and Nicole laugh even Eric begins to laugh at himself and his pitiful attempts at charming girls. "Blue is my favorite color." Nicole says. "I love the shade of blue your eyes have." She says. Mr. Charming begins to blush at her lovely words. Finally the trio reaches their destination and enjoy themselves until the sun sets with Eric further attempting to charm the pants off her which was met with giggles from both girls and kiss on the cheek from Nicole.
