Tina: Ok! This is where we store the music when no one listens to it anymore or until we are ready to put it out for sale to the public.
Leah: Wow!
Tina: Yeah, I know! It's a lot of music. Over here is where we catalog our inventory. I'll show you how it works.
As Tina walks away, Leah sees a box on a bookcase and walks towards it. She touches the box and begins to open it. She sees a light and then..
Tina: Leah!
Leah shuts the box and hands it to Tina.
Leah: I'm sorry! My eye caught the box and I couldn't help myself.
Tina: That's alright. go ahead and speak to the others. I'll be right out.
Leah: Alright! Once again, I'm sorry.
Tina: Don't worry about it.
Leah leaves and Tina puts the box back down.
Tina: I knew she was the one. I know you can hear me. We will defeat you again. You'll never win. I have a week to get them ready.
She leaves the room and then you see two guys looking in a crystal ball.
Guy#1: Soon, your highness, you will defeat them and take over the earth.
Guy#2: Get the others! You'll attack the city tomorrow night. The Shadow shall rise again!
He begins to laugh and then the other one does to. Then back in the store, you see Leah walking up to the girls.
Emma: Hey Leah! Is my mom driving you nuts yet?
Leah: She's your mom?
Emma: Yeah, I know! It's really not as bad as you would think. She's really cool.
Amy: She's right!
Tina: Are you guys ready to get back to work?
They get to work and then it's closing time.
Whitney: Finally, six o'clock. Now I can go shopping.
Leah: I thought you guys were open longer.
Felicia: Normally we are, but there is a huge thing going on tonight at Madison Square Gardens.
Leah: Oh, I didn't know that!
Tina: We will also be closing early tomorrow.
Leah: How come?
Tina: Inventory and cleaning. We'll close at three. Ok, well, I will see you guys tomorrow!
They go outside the store.
Leah: Have fun shopping!
They go outside the store.
Leah: Have fun shopping!
Emma: You're not coming with?
Leah: No, I've only been in New York for a week! I just wanted to get a job before I started sightseeing. Maybe I can shop with you guys another day.
Whitney: Well, have fun! Come on guys, let's go shopping!
Felicia: Hang on Whit! Are you sure Leah?
Leah: Yeah! Don't worry! I'll see you guys tomorrow!
Emma: Ok, we'll see you later!
Leah: Bye!
Girls: Bye!
Whitney: Alright! Hurry up guys! I saw this dress on the way to work I wanted to get.
They leave and wave good bye! Leah gets into her purse and pulls out her newspaper. She begins crossing the street until her heel gets caught in the drain. She tries to pull it out while a driver starts to fall asleep because he is drunk. A boy on the other side of the street on the sidewalk sees her and the car, so he begins to run towards her.
Boy: Hey!
Leah looks up and sees the boy and the car coming. She then feels the boy grab her and they fall to the ground, with him on top of her. The boy feels a shock between them. The car driver wakes up and stops the car because the stoplight turned red.
Boy: Boy that was a close one, huh!
He looks down at her into her eyes.
Boy: Hi! Are you ok?
Leah: Oh, yeah! Sorry!
He gets up and then helps her up.
Leah: Thank you for saving me! See you around.
She walks off and then he follows.
Boy: Wait!
He catches up.
Boy: You forgot your shoe!
Leah: Thanks again.
Boy: Do you need a ride?
Leah: That's alright! I'm new here and I was just sort of about to go sightseeing.
Boy: Oh, that's perfect! i have the best thing for sightseeing. Come on!
He grabs her hand and then they run across the street to a moped.
Leah: Is this what you were talking about?
Boy: Yeah! Why?
Leah: Nothing!
Boy: Come on!
Leah: I don't know!
Boy: Please, I won't take no for an answer!
Leah: Ok, fine, but I'll kick your butt if you turn out to be some sort of creeper.
Boy: Deal!
He takes her hand and she gets on. They start driving around and you see all the sights they see. You then see them at a beautiful area full of nature.
Leah: Wow, this place is amazing!
Boy: Yeah! I come here all the time. It is just so peaceful. Do you want to sit down?
Leah: Sure!
They sit down next to each other.
Boy: So, where are you from?
Leah: Michigan.
Boy: Oh, my sister and I went there once with our parents!
Leah: You have a sister.
Boy: Yeah! She's older, though. Just by a year.
Leah: Well, it's getting dark. Do you wanna go?
Boy: Yeah, but we have one more place to go!
Leah: Really? Where?
Boy: It's a surprise!
Leah: Ok!
He grabs her hands and they run to his bike and drive to a park(bench) where they can see the sunset.
Leah: Wow! How beautiful is this?
Boy: Yeah! I love to come here just to think.
Leah: What else do you like to do?
Boy: I love to ride.
Leah: Ride?
Boy: My bike. I love speed. The thrill I get from it.
Leah: I know what you mean. I enjoy driving my car down the freeway and just today on your moped.
Boy: It's better with two.
Leah smiles; followed by the boy.
Boy: Do you want to go now?
Leah: Just a few more minutes.
They sit there for a little longer and then he takes her home. They both get off his bike.
Leah: Thanks for showing me around.
Boy: You're welcome!
Leah: Oh, uh, let me give you my number. That is, if you want it.
Boy: Sure!
She gets a pen from her purse and writes it on his hand.
Leah: Well, I'll see ya!
Boy: Definitely!
She walks up the stairs, takes her keys from her purse, and opens the door and goes in. He begins to get on his bike as he hears the door open.
Leah: By the way!
He turns and looks at her.
Leah: My name is Leah.
She shuts the door; he smiles, puts on his helmet, starts the bike, and drives off.
Next day... Leah walks in.
Leah: Hey guys!
Emma: Hi Leah! So, how was your sightseeing adventure?
Leah: It was... nice!
Her cheeks turn rosy.
Whitney: Oh my gosh! You met a boy, didn't you?
Amy: Now how would you know that Whit?
Whitney begins to open her mouth.
Amy: Never mind, I don't want to know!
Felicia: Is she right Leah?
Leah: No!
Emma: She is!
Leah: Ok, yea, but it's no big deal!
Whitney: Yes, it is! Come on. Tell us!
Leah: Ok, Ok. Ok. Right after we left each other the other day, my shoe got stuck in a drain and I didn't see the oncoming car. All of a sudden, he grabbed me and saved me. I then thanked him and began walking away, but he followed because I forgot my shoe. We then drove around on his bike, went to a beautiful garden and a park bench where we watched the sunset.
Whitney: Oh, how romantic! Except for the almost getting hit by the car thing.
Emma: So, what's his name?
Leah: I don't know!
Whitney: That's not good girl.
Leah: Well, I did give him my name and phone number.
Whitney: Did he kiss you?
Leah: No.
Whitney: Did you kiss him?
Leah: No.
Whitney: He'll call.
Felicia: What makes you so sure?
Whitney: Just trust me. I know this kind of stuff.
Tina: It's time to get back to work now. You can talk later.
They get back to work. The 'boy' comes in.
Tina: Hey Jay! You're late!
Jay: I know. I'm sorry! It's just that I met this wonderful girl last night and I couldn't stop thinking about her.
Tina: That's not an excuse for being late Jay. Just get to work.
He gets to work stocking new CDs and fixing up the backroom, without knowing Leah works there. They keep missing each other’s sight, but they finally meet when they are going through cds in the same row and their hands touch. They both look up to see the other,
Leah/Jay: Sor...
Jay: It's you!
They stare at each other.
Leah: Hi!
Jay: How are you doing Leah?
Leah: Good! I didn't know you worked here. Why didn't you say anything?
Jay: You didn't ask?
Leah: Yea, I guess you couldn't have known that.
Jay: When did you start working here?
Leah: Yesterday.
Jay: Oh! That was my day off!
Leah: So, um, I didn't catch your name last night.
Jay: Oh, my name is Jay. I'm Amy's...
The group comes over to them.
Amy: I see you met my brother Leah.
Leah: Wait! He's your brother?
Amy: Yeah!
Leah: Oh!
Amy: What?
She goes over to whisper to Amy.
Leah: Do you remember what I told you earlier?
Amy: About what? Oh! Eww! You’re dating my brother?
Leah: I'm sorry!
Jay: Why can't she date me sis?
Amy: I didn't say she couldn't.
Jay: So she can? Leah, would you like to go out with me tonight?
She looks at Amy, who just shrugs, signaling she's good either way.
Leah: Sure!
Tina: Hey kids! It's time to close now. You can go home Jay since you did it by yourself last time, even though you were late today.
Leah: Did what?
Jay: Inventory.
Leah: Oh, ok! Good bye Jay! I'll see you tonight!
Jay: I'll pick you up at nine.
Leah: Why so late?
Jay: Trust me. Inventory takes an exceptionally long time.
Tina: Thanks Jay!
Tina starts pushing him towards the door.
Tina: We don't need to scare our new friend.
They keep walking towards the door.
Amy: Leah! How can you date my brother?
Leah: I thought you were alright with my dating your brother.
Amy: I am, but why him?
Leah: Well, because we understood each other last night. There was a connection. We had such similar interests in things.
Amy: Really?
Leah: Yeah!
Amy: Like what?
Leah: We both like the same music and the thrill one gets from going fast.
Felicia: Oh no! Not another one.
Leah: What do you mean?
Tina: Come on girls!
Emma: Ok mom! Are you going to help this time Whitney?
Whitney: Of course not Emma!
They walk through the door to the storage room. You see the clock hanging above the door. It says 3:05 and then you see it at 6:58. the girls then leave the storage room.
Tina: Ok girls! You can relax for twenty minutes, but then you need to get back to work. You've done great and we're almost done.
While Felicia, Whitney, and Amy talk, Leah pulls Emma off to the side.
Leah: Why does Amy not like the idea of me going out with her brother?
Emma: She doesn't mind if you go out with him. it's just because of a part of the reason why.
Leah: I don't understand. What part?
Emma: The part of getting a thrill from speed.
Leah: How come?
Emma: Throughout Amy's life, her brother and her were best friends, and they did almost everything together. Two years ago, though, it was Jay's sixteenth birthday. Their parents got him his moped that you two rode on last night. He fell in love with his bike and then he stopped hanging out with her, except for here at work. At first he took her on rides with him, but she can get motion sick sometimes, so she stopped.
Leah: That's terrible! Should I talk to him about it?
Emma: I don't think I'm the right person to ask.
Leah: You're right! I'll go talk to her.
Emma: No need. They're coming over here.
She turns around to see them coming.
Amy: Hey you two!
Leah: Hey!
Emma: Hey!
Leah: Amy...
The store begins shaking and they all begin screaming as things fall. They all get in front of the storage room door.
