And of course, there was the awesome trip to the Liberty Science Center February 13th.
They watched a man dissolve an egg's shell into vinegar.  

"Magic, just like my-" Dmitri was cut off when Jorge nudged him.

"Never mind."

Then came the Valentine's Day dance. Angela was dressed in pink silk with a gold necklace and a little circlet oh her head as she walked down the stairs.

"I can't believe it. My little girl's growing up," said Tony Sr.

Angela was very excited to go to the dance. Jorge was going to pick her up in an hour.
Angela, Jorge, and Tony all got to the dance.

Jorge had learned new magic tricks from his nanny Emily. He could make things appear with his mind. He even made a flower for Angela, right before the dance, in the school hallways. All he had to do was think about something real hard and say its name in his mind. Several girls (Annie, Maria, and Vicki) who came to the dance early squealed when they saw him give the flower to Angela.

Jorge went inside the room later and saw that the DJ was playing hits from the 1960's. He was already at 1964, with The Supremes' "Come See About Me" and the Webber twins singing along. (Each dance had some sort of classic rock theme with its music. The last dance had 70s hits, because the DJ didn't own any 60's compilations yet. This meant the next dance would have 80's hits. Also, the DJ played 5-10 hits from each year in the decade consecutively, making for about 80 songs for the dance.) The banner outside the dance read "Party Like It's 1969!" to go along with its 60s theme. Jorge asked the DJ if he could request a song.

"Sure thing, J-man! What would it be?"

"I Left My Heart In San Francisco, by Tony Bennett."

"Just in time for '65!"

The DJ put on the song.

"The loooooveliness of Paris seems somehow sadly gay.  The glory that was Rome is of another day. I've been terribly alone and forgotten in Manhattan. I'm going home to my city by the Bay…"

He took Angela's hand and they danced.

Tony was in the restroom and didn't notice until halfway through.

"Hey, Tony Bennett, he shares my name!" he said when he came in.

Everything was normal-Arthur Chen sang "Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood," Tony sang "Hang On Sloopy" (making it be about Ashley Webber), and Angela sang "Down in the Boondocks" - then Tiffany attacked Sam and held her hostage. Everyone was scared.

Jorge immediately went outside and put on his hat, mask, and cape. He recited a spell to make him fly into the school.

"Creo que puedo volar!"

He flew up into the school.

Everyone was shocked when they saw him.

"Jorge?" said Adrian.

"That would not be me, thank you very much."

Jorge turned to Tiffany.

"Hello. I am El Pantera Negra."

"What?"

"Never mind."

He performed an offensive spell on Tiffany and pointed his wand at her.

"Despida varita!"

She was on fire but didn't suffer serious injury, he then slashed his initials into her dress.

She ran away to go wash up, and the dance was safe again.

What a hottie! Thought Sam.

She then went to talk with Angela.

"You know that masked man who saved my life?"

"I know, right? He's so dreamy. He reminds me a little of Jorge."

"Yeah, well, he sort of reminds me of Tuxedo Mask from my favorite show, Sailor Moon."
"How?" asked Angela.

"Well, he wears a suit and mask, for one," said Sam.

"You like Sailor Moon? I love Sailor Moon!" said Pablo.  

"What?" said Sam.

"Yes I do. You didn't expect the Secret Weapon to like girly anime, did you? And yes, I like Tuxedo Mask, even though he reminds me a little too much of Zorro."

"Wow. I like Sailor Moon so much, I have a poster of it in my room!" said Sam.

"Hey, me too!" said Pablo.

"Me three!" said Angela.

"Awesome!" said Sam.

Sam then sang "Barbara Ann" with Achmed, who also played "All Day and All Of the Night" and played and sang "I'm a Believer" with her.

The next day was Sunday, and Achmed was at home, watching his Queen DVD. His cousin Muhammed came into the room.

"So, you're watching a DVD about a naked man?" (The DVD featured Freddie Mercury wearing nothing more than a pair of tight white shorts, and of course his iconic moustache.)

"He's not naked! He's wearing pants!" snapped Achmed.

"Yeah, but they're really tight pants," said Muhammed.

Then Amir came into the room.

"Hey Achmed. Whatcha watching?"

"Oh, that's Queen," said Muhammed.

"Who's the guy singing?"

"That's Freddie Mercury. He's the naked guy who died."

"HE'S NOT NAKED! He's wearing PANTS!"

"That's  so funny and yet so sad at the same time," said Amir.

The two guys just stared at him.

"The funny part is that…he's naked."

"FREDDIE! MERCURY! IS! NOT! NAKED! He's wearing PANTS!"

"Tighty-Whitees!"

"PANTS!"

"Tighty-Whitees!"

"PANTS!"

"Oh well. The sad part is, obviously enough, that he died."

Achmed's mom came into the room.

"Hey Achmed. Hey Muhammed."

"We're watching DVD about a naked man," said Muhammed.

"MUHAMMED!" snapped Achmed.

"Achmed!" snapped Mrs. Khan.

She turned off the TV.

"Look at what you made Mom do!" Achmed snapped at Muhammed.

"Oh well," said Muhammed.
This is the chapter that briefly describes a bit of the kids' trip to the Liberty Science Center, but mostly describes the Valentine's Day dance. It also brings some attention to Achmed and his family, because I know he's a popular character and I think I gave a little too much attention to Jorge.

PS Notice how Jorge calls his spells out in Spanish? He's Hispanic, so I thought it would be cool for him to speak Spanish because he never spoke it in the games (unlike Pablo who always speaks Spanish up until '07, and Maria who occasionally says "Hola!") In case you're wondering, "Creo que puedo volar" means "I believe I can fly" in Spanish, "El Pantera Negra" means "The Black Panther" in Spanish and "Despida Varita" means "fire wand." Just to let you know.;)
