ISABEL
"Now we can really get the party started,"
I hear Michael say, his words are quickly lost in the music as I close my eyes and let the music take over my body. In the back of my mind I can hear my old dance teacher counting the steps. One, two, three. One, two, three. I sway my hips to the beat.
I forget Michael, I forget the crowd around me. All there is the music.
This is me, this is when I feel free. I love to dance.

"Good answer." I say with a mock frown. I didn't think they'd like the name anyway. Well, Liz hasn't answered yet, so who knows?
Maria got all silent again and is frowning, I wonder if her headache has gotten worse. Or her heartache?
I remember what happened when Max didn't want to let Maria drive after she almost drowned but I better ask anyway, no matter the risks of her getting angry.
"Can you drive or is your headache getting worse?" I ask gently.

“You girls liking the name ‘The Whits’?”
“Just an 'S' away from what . . .”
“Do you really want to finish that sentence, DeLuca?”
“Maybe not.”
“Good answer.”
I smile at the exchange between the two of them. Maria seemed to handle the Whit situation with ease. There doesn’t seem to be much need for me to add anything to that conversation that seems to have already lapsed in my silence. “Can you drive,” I hear Alex ask Maria as we continue to walk to the cars, “or is your headache getting worse?”
I stop and turn, waiting to see Maria as she replies and to walk with the two of them. She does seem to be doing a little better than what I had seen from her in the bathroom, but that does not mean that she feels any less worse than she did earlier. But considering her attachment to her car, having someone else drive doesn’t seem particularly wise. Remembering that is enough to make me cringe. It was definitely not one of the better days.
“Are you feeling any better?” I ask after Alex’s question.

“Actually, I’m feeling a lot better so I think I‘ll drive my car instead of leaving it here as I had planned before.” I state, thankful that the pounding in my head had eased away. “I think the painkillers must have kicked in.”
Rummaging in my bag, I find my car keys and hold them tightly in my head. Some people may think its stupid to be so attached to the Jetta but its all I have left of my mom and its makes me feel closer to her.
“Who’s riding with who?” I ask, knowing that Max and Alex bought their cars so Liz, Kyle and Tess will have to decided who they are riding with. Tess is obviously going to go with Max so really that only leaves Liz and Kyle to decide.

"I really don't mind with whom I drive." I shrug. "But since we are six people, we could split up so two people can drive in each car, if no one minds."
"Fine with me." Alex replies, "So, to quote the lovely Ms. Deluca, who's riding with who? And I'd appreciate a fast decision."
"I dont mind," I say turning to Liz, "why don't we let the birthday girl decide?"

“Actually, I’m feeling a lot better so I think I‘ll drive my car instead of leaving it here as I had planned before,” Maria says. It looks like she effectively answered Alex’s unspoken question of whether she would have allowed anyone else to drive her car if she hadn’t been feeling up to the drive back to the house. “I think the painkillers must have kicked in,” she explains before she proceeds to look for her keys.
“Who’s riding with who?” Well, that’s a good question. I hadn’t thought of it before. I’m certain that Tess will want to stay with Max. I don’t feel like subjecting myself to an uncomfortable car ride with the two of them, so that basically leaves me with a choice of Maria or Alex.
“I really don't mind with whom I drive,” Kyle begins, saying with a light shrug, “but since we are six people, we could split up so two people can drive in each car,” he elaborates and then adds, “if no one minds.”
“Fine with me,” Alex states simply. “So, to quote the lovely Ms. Deluca, who's riding with who? And I'd appreciate a fast decision.”
“I don’t mind," Kyle answers before turning to face me. “Why don't we let the birthday girl decide?” he continues, and I am not sure if I’m imagining the teasing glint I see in his eyes and smile or not.
“Umm,” I say a little uncertain, “I’ll go with Maria,” I say looking to her. “If that’s okay with you?” I ask, giving her the opportunity to change her mind.
I don’t know who would be the better choice all around. Maria and Alex didn’t seem to care, but with Izzy’s pending date with Kyle, putting those two together doesn’t seem particularly wise. But on the other hand Maria and Kyle haven’t been spending that much time together, and the last thing I want is for Maria to have an uncomfortable drive back to the house on top of everything else that she’s dealing with. Not to mention that I’d want Maria to feel like I was almost abandoning her company just because we were out of the bathroom. Hopefully Alex won’t be upset with me for putting him in a car with Kyle. Maybe he can use it to garner some information about why Kyle and Izzy are going out? Or how that happened in the first place?
Hopefully I haven’t made a grievous mistake.

*Max*
I shrug, masking my disappointment in the riding plans. It's actually all very logical and there isn't any good reason to suggest that anyone beyond Tess ride with me, so I don't say anything about that.
"Okay. Guess you guys are undercontrol then. See you at the house," I say, leading Tess to my Jeep. She's been incredibly quiet all evening. I hope I didn't anger her by inviting others to come with us on our trip to the Keys. Nobody ended up taking me up on the offer, but that doesn't mean she might not still be mad at me for almost 'spoiling' our 'alone time.' Actually, I still think we might have been more private if we had anyone-else along to distract the camera man, but Tess might not see it that way.

"See you at the house." I say before getting into my car, not wating for Kyle. Great, I'm stuck with Isabel's date, just my luck! Guess he's a bit pissed that Michael is now spending time with his *date*. Looks like we might actually have something in common.
KYLE
There is an uncomfortable silence between us on our drive back. I guess it has to do with Whitman's head ache and the fact that me and Isabel ... or Michael and Isabel or ... something like this.
"Listen man, about my date with Isabel ..." I start. "... you didn't ask her or make a move and ..."
ALEX
Kyle talks about why he asked Iz out and ... he's right, I didn't make a movie, too worried about the thousands of possible 'What if's'. I'm such a wimp!
"Kyle, forget it." I interrupt him, after a few moments. "Just treat her like a gentleman and don't make her cry. She deserves some happy times after the whole Jake thing."
"You sure?" the little traitor asks.
"Yeah, I have to worry about my own date after all."
KYLE
"You have a date?" I cry surprised and am rewarded with a glare.
"You know, you don't need to sound that surprised."
"Sorry." I reply. "Uh ... why? I thought you like Isabel."
Maybe I shouldn't mention her again, his jaw tightens every time I say her name.
"She has a date ... with you, shortly after Jake hurt her and ... I can't spend all this time in her mooning after her. She obviously wants us to be friends so ... I got asked out by a co-worker and ... well, that's it."
"Cool." I'm silent for a moment. "You're not gonna hit me if Isabel and I get along well, are you?" I ask slightly worried, he did a good job on Evans after all. Evans ... who's currently alone in a dark car with Tess. Lucky bastard!
ALEX
I give a humorless laugh. "Don't worry, I won't hit you."
None of the girls would like that and I don't want four girls angry with me. "Can we talk about something else maybe?"
"That would be great!" Kyle easily agrees. "Did you see the baseball game yesterday? Well, if you ask me ..."
Kyle goes on talking about how the game went, obvious to me not listening to him, just glad that we'll reach the house soon.

“That’s fine with me.” I answer as I unlock my car. “I guess we see you guys back at the house.”
I say with a fleeting smile towards Tess and the guys before I get into the car. My relief at the disappearance of my headache is short live as my head is filled with thoughts of Isabel and Michael. Jealous and confusion are now replacing the pounding and I can’t decide which I preferred.
Starting the car, I ask Liz. “Did you have a good time tonight?”

I give an inaudiable sigh when we arrive *home*. I can already hear my bed calling for me. There's an uncomfortable silence between Kyle and me which I have to admit, I don't like.
"So." Kyle starts, he obviously doesn't know what to say either.
"Here we are." I mumble unnecessary. "Try to not get locked into a closet again this weekend."
"Bite me, Whitman." Kyle mutters with a fake glare, causing me to laugh which he joins soon. "Don't go wandering around sleeping in other people's beds, Whitman. I can't imagine Michael being happy about finding you in his bed sheets."
"Oh yeah, that would be fun." I grin. Michael would so beat me up!
"Ah, Max and the others have arrived." I state when the jeep comes to a halt next to Kyle and me.
