"YAAAAAAA!" yelled the troll.
The troll screamed, "MY NAME ANDY! I EAT YOU ALL AND STUFF!" He held up a piece of paper and it read "Osama Bin Laden" and it had a poorly drawn picture of him. Andy the troll laughed.
Some one threw a stale cookie at Andy. He caught the cookie and ate it.
"Hey!" said the person, "I sneezed on that!"
Just then, the troll took his club and started to smash things. "RESPECT CAPTAIN SANDWICH!!!" he yelled.
Dumbledore then knocked out the troll and the Yule Ball resumed.
(A/N Do you recognize that from anywhere? Huh? Huh?)
*********************************************
Ajax, Chloe, Zoe, Mia, and Kendall were all dancing with the rest of the school to "Party Rock Anthem" when the song ended.
"I'm gonna go and get some drinks." said Zoe.
"Okayers." said Kendall when Ajax smacked her in the back of her head.
"You little barf!"said Ajax, laughing.
When Zoe was getting the drinks for everyone, she noticed Sienna sitting down, staring at Fred and Angelina dancing. Zoe went over.
"Hey." she said.
Sienna looked up. "What do you want?" she snapped.
"Snap at me all you want," said Zoe, "but you should be having fun tonight."
"What makes you say that?" said Sienna. "I'm having a ton of fun over here watching my ex-"
"If this is about Fred, just give it up!" said Zoe sitting down next to Sienna. "You can't let Fred spoil your night!"
"It's easy for you to say." said Sienna. "I was planning this moment in my mind ever since I first met Fred."
"You mean," said Zoe, "that you knew that we were having a dance before it was announced?"
"Well, I kinda figured we would have some type of gathering since they told us to get dresses on our supplies list." said Sienna. She turned to Zoe, and said, "Have you ever lost someone you loved so much? That you thought that you would spend the rest of your life with?"
"No." said Zoe. "My dad said that I shouldn't date until I'm 30."
"Well, that's how I felt about Fred." said Sienna, with a dazed yet happy look on her face. "And you know what? You're right! I'm not going to let Fred spoil my night." she got up and bounced on the balls of her toes. "C'mon, let's find everyone!" and she pulled Zoe into the crowd just as "Pumped Up Kicks" started to play.
After that song, Dumbledore came up on stage. "Are you youngsters having fun tonight?" he said as the crowd cheered. "I will now open up the microphone for anyone who wants to sing a song."
"Oh!" said Kendall, "We should all do a song together!"
So the girls signed up to sing and waited for their turn. When their turn came, they all got up on stage and introduced themselves.
"We are Running With Scissors!" said Kendall.
"Wait!" said Chloe, "We didn't discuss this!"
"I like it!" said Mia.
So they started to sing "Keep Your Head Up"
(all) wooh, ehhhh, wooooh.
(Zoe) I've been waiting on the sunset Bills on my mindset I can get deny theyre getting high Higher than my income Income's breadcrumbs I've been trying to survive

(All) Keep your head up, oh,And you can let your hair down, eh.Keep your head up, oh,And you can let your hair down, eh.Keep your head up, oh,And you can let your hair down.
After that, the crowd cheered and the girls left the stage.
"You guys were great!" said Landrew. "Can I be in your band?"
"We don't have a band." said Chloe.
"Yeah, we don't even have fans yet who make t-shirts and signs and scream for our autographs." said Mia.
"I beg to differ." said Landrew, pointing at a group of girls who were making "Running with Scissors" shirts on the table.
"Well," said Zoe, "that was fast."
"So can I be in your band?" asked Landrew again. "Pretty please?"
"You can play the triangle." said Chloe.
"No!" said Landrew. "I can play guitar."
"Show me." said Kendall.
Landrew ripped a guitar from one of "The Weird Sisters"'s hands and began to play a really complex series of notes. When he finished, he gave the guitar back to the guy and said, "Well, what do you think?"
"I don't know..." said Zoe.
"You're in!" said Mia.
"Can I be in your band, too?" asked Ajax.
"Can you play the triangle?" said Chloe.
"With perfection." said Ajax. "I took a triangle-playing course in Jewish school when I was four."
"Wait!" said Kendall. "Jewish school? But you went to a private school!"
"Wait, what?" said Ajax. "I meant, uhh... no, that was a Jewish school. I don't know what my parents were thinking."
As the girls made their way towards the dance floor again, Dumbledore announced that Sienna would be singing, "Because You Loved Me."
For all those times you stood by me
For all the truth that you made me see
For all the joy you brought to my life
For all the wrong that you made right
For every dream you made come true
For all the love I found in you
I'll be forever thankful, baby
You're the one who held me up
Never let me fall
You're the one who saw me through, through it all
You were my strength when I was weak
You were my voice when I couldn't speak
You were my eyes when I couldn't see
You saw the best there was in me
Lifted me up when I couldn't reach
You gave me faith 'cause you believed
I'm everything I am
Because you loved me
You gave me wings and made me fly
You touched my hand I could touch the sky
I lost my faith, you gave it back to me
You said no star was out of reach
You stood by me and I stood tall
I had your love I had it all
I'm grateful for each day you gave me
Maybe I don't know that much
But I know this much is true
I was blessed because I was loved by you
[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsfreak.com/c/celine+dion/because+you+loved+me_20028446.html ]
You were my strength when I was weak
You were my voice when I couldn't speak
You were my eyes when I couldn't see
You saw the best there was in me
Lifted me up when I couldn't reach
You gave me faith cause you believed
I'm everything I am
Because you loved me
You were always there for me
The tender wind that carried me
A light in the dark shining your love into my life
You've been my inspiration
Through the lies you were the truth
My world is a better place because of you
You were my strength when I was weak
You were my voice when I couldn't speak
You were my eyes when I couldn't see
You saw the best there was in me
Lifted me up when I couldn't reach
You gave me faith cause you believed
I'm everything I am
Because you loved me
You were my strength when I was weak
You were my voice when I couldn't speak
You were my eyes when I couldn't see
You saw the best there was in me
Lifted me up when I couldn't reach
You gave me faith cause you believed
I'm everything I am
Because you loved me
I'm everything I am
Because you loved me
At the end, the girls along with the crowd cheered for Sienna. When she came back down to the dance floor, the girls asked, "Would you like to be in our band?"
"Sorry, girls," said Sienna, "I fly solo." and she walked off.
After that, Fred came over to the group of girls and asked, "Do you know where Sienna is?"
"She walked off somewhere in that direction." said Kendall, pointing into the opposite direction that Sienna walked off to.
"Thanks." he said, and took off running.
"What's the deal with him?" asked Ajax.
"Oh, probably, 'You were great tonight. I feel bad about breaking up with you. Hey! An idea just popped into my mind! Why don't we get back together!' *grins*" said Kendall as the girls and Landrew guffawed.
After the Yule Ball ended, the girls went back to their dorms to get a good night's sleep. After Zoe and Kendall were in their bed, Sienna came bursting through the door.
"Whatsthematter?" said Zoe tiredly.
"I'll get the tennis racket." said Kendall groggily as she stumbled out of her four poster bed and towards the tennis racket across the room. "Uh, Mr. Kidnapper? Would you be so kind as to take a seat on the floor while I get my tennis racket so I can cut you into pieces? Zoe, would you get the board games to occupy our visitor?"
"Guys!" said Sienna. "It's just me."
"Oh," said Kendall. "Well, thanks for making me get out of bed!"
"What's the matter, Sienna?" said Zoe.
"Well, Fred came over to me, pulled me aside and said, 'You were great tonight. I feel bad about breaking up with you. Hey! An idea just popped into my mind! Why don't we get back together!' and then he grinned at me!" said Sienna.
"Called it!" said Kendall as she plopped into bed and pulled the covers over herself.
"So what did you say?" said Zoe.
"I didn't say anything!" Sienna said crying. "I was too shocked to say anything so I left! And now I feel so stupid!"
"You shouldn't." said Kendall. "What he did to you was wrong, and you can't let him dump Angelina for you, either. That's wrong too."
"So what should I do?" said Sienna.
"Ignore him." said Zoe. "Because he's just going to be running after you for the rest of your life. If he had the guts to say that to you while he's dating someone else, something about that song you sang changed him inside. I think he realizes that he loves you again."
Over on the other side of the room, Kendall was crying. "That was so beau-beau-BEAUTIFUL!" she collapsed into sobs.
"Ohh-kay." said Zoe. She turned back to Sienna. "Look, it's been a really long day, so why don't you just go to sleep."
"Sure." said Sienna.
