Lance's thoughts whirled. **Emily . . . ** He composed himself. "So, where were you guys going?"

Emily smiled. "We were going to go see that new movie, At First Sight. Have you seen it?"

Lance shook his head. "How come you were walking? The movie theater is a while from here."

Kira looked at Emily, and seeing that she was staring too much at Lance, answered for her. "Oh, because Emily's car broke down. It's a piece of trash, and it needs to be thrown away."

"What kind of car to do you have?" Lance asked.

Kira snapped her fingers in front of her face, and Emily shook her head. "Oh, um, it's a '72 Mercedes Benz. I love it. It's beautiful. Not like you have a car, so you can't talk."

**She has a Mercedes Benz. And it's a '72. This is too weird.** He swallowed. "I't not black, is it?"

"No, it's beige. Why?"

"Um, no reason. Well, my friend has a '72 Benz that's black. I just thought that'd it be really ironic is yours was black, too." He looked at Emily, and felt bad for lying. **Well, I also don't want her to know the truth, either.**

"Anyway, the movie isn't going to wait until we get there to star, so we'd better go," Kira said.

"Well, I'll give you guys a ride, if you want," Lance offered.

"I don't know. Are you gonna run over someone while we're in the car?" Emily asked.

"Emily! Shut up!" Kira told her.

"I was just j/k-ing, dude. Ma-a-a-an!" she said, saying 'man' like a sheep ba-a-a-ing.

Kira laughed. "Stop making fun of me!"

"Well, let's go, because, as you two said, the movie starts pretty soon," Lance told them. "Or should I just leave you on the side of the road?"

Kira climbed into Lance's car, and Emily got into the front. They drove off, and weree soon at the movie theater. Emily got out, and after Kira did, they started walking away.

"Hey, Emily, wait!" Lance called. She turned around, and Lance called her back to the car. She walked back, and Lance gave her a piece of paper, then drove off.

After he drove off, she opened it. "Oh my god!" Emily exclaimed.

"What?" Kira asked. Emily showed it to her. "Whoa! He gave you his phone number!"
