Kiki looked back up "um...actually i was hoping you could walk me to the door..." She said looking up at him with a smile. They walked up to the Tammy's house and were just steps away from the door.
Lilly looked at him "um...do you mind if I clean up at your place. I dont want my dad to suspect anything...." She said looking at him then noticing the light coming from the living room.

Joseph smiled and nodded. He led her up the steps to the door and turned to her. "There you are. So I guess I will see you at the bon... no, right. We are out of town, according to Felix." He looked down, a bit sad. "So I will see you later then...", he said and gave her a kiss on the left cheek and turned around to leave, just like that.
Felix face brightened up. She had understood his meaning and he nodded quickly. They kept walking past her house quietly and they were soon at his. He took out the key and opened the door and led her inside. "So... uh, I guess you can use my room to change. I should... find you something to wear, though it might be a bit oversized." He smiled, leading her upstairs to his room and waiting for her answer.

Kiki smiled "Hey Joey? You forgot about the fact that we still have that day and our projects are due." She said with a smile and she walked back into Tammy's house with a smile. The girls giggled and gabbed a bit more then went to bed.Lilly smiled and nodde she walked up the stairs and found the bathroom and took a shower. Once she was done she grabbed a towel and wrapped it around her body. She walked out of the bathroom and looked to see if Felix still looking for something for her to wear he still was she snuck out and headed to the door. She opened it and closed very quietly and walked out to her house she climbed up the lattice and into her room.
She went into the bathroom and let her water run a bit to make it seam like she was taking a shower after about five minutes she turned it off. and walked into her room. She threw the tower in her laundry basket and got ready for bed and fell asleep.------ Two days past and the two girls practiced their projects Kiki was making up a dance for hers.Lilly was in the living room playing the piano and singing hers. Music could be heard from the house a peaceful and beautiful melody. She bagan to sing her sonnett with the music.------- Another days past and the girls were ready for the projects. They decided that they would film them and use some neat effects for them seeing as Lilly was in Video production. The got up rather early and got dressed. Kiki put on a blood red dress and black flats. She tied her hair in a perfect bun and packed a change of clothes in her dance bag along with her ballet shoes. [dress]
Lilly got up and dressed as well she put on a black dress. She brushed her hair and put up in her black hat and packed a change of clothes in her messenger bag. She walked down stairs it was still very early and the sun was just rising and their father was still asleep. She saw her sister eating a piece of toast "ready to go?" She said as she grabbed a granola bar and headed out the door Kiki followed her. They drove to school and in about ten minutes they were there. The security guard let them in he was also their fathers best friend. They parked the car and headed to the video lab. Lilly decided to go first she turned on the lights and went into the Screening room.
She Fixed the lights the way she wanted and she used blues and purples giving the room a beautiful and peaceful glow. She pulled the psych curtain into the view of the camera and made sure the piano was in the center of the room. She turned on the cameras and took off her hat setting it on a table that wasnt in view of the cameras. She signaled her sister that she was ready and she sat down at the piano looking at the corner of her eye to see when the tally light the little red light on the camera came on. Once it came on she began to play and sing her sonnet.
"Lord of my love, to whom in vassalage Thy merit hath my duty strongly knit, To thee I send this written embassage, To witness duty, not to show my wit: Duty so great, which wit so poor as mine May make seem bare, in wanting words to show it, But that I hope some good conceit of thine In thy soul's thought, all naked, will bestow it: Till whatsoever star that guides my moving, Points on me graciously with fair aspect, And puts apparel on my tottered loving, To show me worthy of thy sweet respect: Then may I dare to boast how I do love thee; Till then, not show my head where thou mayst prove me."
Her voice sounded like that of an angels, while she played and sang Kiki was at the control adding cool effects like fades and switching cameras to add different camera angles. Lilly finished and her sister stopped recording. Lilly got up from the piano and moved it out of the way so her sister could do her project. She grabbed her hat and switched places with he sister.
Kiki smiled at he sister "good job sis." She said as she walked into the screening room put on her ballet slippers and stretched some before she got started she also changed the colors of her lights using a red and pink gel. Once she was done stretching she signaled her Lilly and waited till she saw the light come on. Once Lilly saw her sister's signal and she put in the music and pressed play on the sound board at the same time she pushed the camera one button.
Kiki saw the light on the camera and heard the music for her project she had recorded her saying the sonnet over the music that her sister played on the piano and used to do a dance relating to her sonnet. "Let me confess that we two must be twain, Although our undivided loves are one: So shall those blots that do with me remain, Without thy help, by me be borne alone. In our two loves there is but one respect, Though in our lives a separable spite, Which though it alter not love's sole effect, Yet doth it steal sweet hours from love's delight. I may not evermore acknowledge thee, Lest my bewailed guilt should do thee shame, Nor thou with public kindness honour me, Unless thou take that honour from thy name: But do not so, I love thee in such sort, As thou being mine, mine is thy good report."
She moved with such passion and grace her movement went perfectly with her words and the beat of music. Kiki twirled and leaped, she spun and kicked. She did everything so gracefully when she spun and moved across the room it looked as if she was gliding across with out even touching the ground with her tiny feet. While she did so Lilly was in the control booth doing the same that Kiki did for her. She added fading effects and changed the camera angles to give the shot variety.
When Kiki heard her music was done she stopped dancing and bowed. Lilly pressed stop and walked down the stairs tot he screening room to meet her sister. They looked at the time and still had two hours to spare till school started. So they decided to head to the girls locker room and change.
Kiki had put on a long sleeve shirt and a purple dress over it with jeans. She took her bun out and fluffed her hair so looked feathered out and she put a black headband on. [dress]
[jeans]
Lilly changed out of her black dress and into a fishnet shirt with a red top and jeans. She put her hat back on and did her make-up which wasnt much just some eyeliner. "that was fun!" Lilly said with smile to her sister. "hey I'll take our dresses back to the car ok. Be right back." Lilly took their dressed and went to the car once she got their she put them in the trunk and saw her sister reading a book under a tree in the quad. She sat down next to her and they waited for the Crane brothers to show up at school. [fishnet shirt]
[red top]

The next two days went much without incidence except one of the days Joseph barely made it to history class. They had both gone to the library, Joseph actually having trouble trying to find his way around it as he hadn't entered it for some time. But since they were both looking for sonnets, Felix guided him to the right section. They both copied down what they thought they would say and left. Now came the hard part which was how to present it.
Felix had decided just to say it out hoping the sonnet itself could convey the meaning why he didn't prepare something special. Joseph had other things in mind. On Friday, they both got ready in they normal clothes and had the change in their bags. Today they didn't race to school as the weather was a bit warm. They reached the school in plenty of time still.
When Joseph looked ahead in the quad, he saw the Wells waiting for them. He grinned and stopped his brother from going toward them with a hand on his shoulder and nedged his head to the side. Felix grinned and nodded. They went around the quad, the long way, and turned up behind the sisters. They both stopped grinning and Joseph spoke to the girls, "You both are here, you know, we been looking for you both for the last 20 minutes inside?"

Kiki jumped and squealed when she heard them speak. She turned around to see Joseph and Felix "hey guys!" She said as she got up and hugged Joseph. "Hey sis look behind you." Said to her Lilly.
Lilly turned around to see Felix behind her she smiled "Hi Felix"she got up and hugged him lightly. "How are you guys?" She looked at him and his brother.

As Kiki hugged him, Joseph picked her off where she was sitting and landed her next to him with a smile. "You ready for the surprise today?, he asked with a mischievous smile.
Felix hugged Lilly and parted and said, "Yesterday, you left with telling me. I searched the house from top to bottom. Should have left a note...", he said and smiled showing it wasn't any bother to him. He knew she had left only in a towel and he couldn't blame her for not wanting to show herself like that. "So you finished with the projects?"

Kiki nodded "yup I cant wait are you guys ready for yours?" She asked as she looked at her sister and winked.
Lilly giggled "Sorry i figured that me being in a towel would be better to sneak around in. I snuck in through my room to the shower and pretended i was taking one at home." Lilly looked at the clock they had 10 minutes before the bell rang "we should head to class..."

Joseph replied, "Yeah, you will see soon enough..." He turned to walk to class putting an arm around Kiki and smiled at her, "You look good..."
Felix nodded and said, "I guess you are right. Anyway, let's get to class." He took hold of Lilly's hand and started walking.

Kiki smiled "thanks Joey.." she said as the walked to class together.
Lilly nodded once Felix grabbed a hold of her hand her face turned pink. They four walked into class and sat down next to each other. Ms.Wilson smiled as she saw the students trickling in she was rather excited about seeing the projects. Once the last couple of students came in she smiled. "Ok class who once to go first....how about...Lilly. Lets see what your prepared."
Lilly stood up and asked if she could borrow the TV. Her teacher nodded and she pulled the TV to the center of the room. She put her tape in and before she pressed play she mentioned the number and pressed play. She sat down and looked at Felix i hope you like it. She said with a smile, and the tape began to play. On the screen read "William Shakespeare sonnet XXVI By Lilly wells." It then showed her playing the piano and singing her sonnet "Lord of my love, to whom in vassalage Thy merit hath my duty strongly knit, To thee I send this written embassage, To witness duty, not to show my wit: Duty so great, which wit so poor as mine May make seem bare, in wanting words to show it, But that I hope some good conceit of thine In thy soul's thought, all naked, will bestow it: Till whatsoever star that guides my moving, Points on me graciously with fair aspect, And puts apparel on my tottered loving, To show me worthy of thy sweet respect: Then may I dare to boast how I do love thee; Till then, not show my head where thou mayst prove me."
There were many different camera angles and fading effects. Her singing and playing was divine and full of passion. Once she was done it went to credits the music behind the credits was an other song played by Lilly. The credits read: "Sonnet Sixteen music and singing by Lilly Wells. Special effects by Kiki Wells." The last thing in the credits was "dedicated to My Romeo."
Lilly got up and took a bow "thank you..." she said softly and sat back down. There was silence and awe in the room the students just stared at her in amazement. One whispered to another "Who Knew she could sing...that great!" Ms. Wilson stood up and began to clap the students did the same thing. "Lilly That was wonderful!" she said. Lilly looked around hearing applause and seeing all the students standing up and cheering. A smile tugged at her rose colored lips her eyes bright and blue and her cheeks a rosy pink.

Joseph clapped along with everyone else at the great performance.
Felix was smiling throughout the performance. He understood the meaning enough to know why she had chosen this. Her voice was melodious and she seemed to mean every word she had sung. His smiled widened and he clapped as he read the last line of the credits. It had been for him.
Felix looked up at the teacher and caught her eye and nodded just so slightly. Ms. Wilson understood and smiled, and pointed at him to come up next. As he got up, he leaned slightly towards Lilly and whispered, "This one is for you..."
He was up in front of the class. Everyone knew him well enough not to expect a similar performance. He just stood in front with a neat piece of paper in his hand. He cleared his throat and began, "Sonata 23 (XXIII)"
"As an unperfect actor on the stage, Who with his fear is put beside his part, Or some fierce thing replete with too much rage, Whose strength's abundance weakens his own heart; So I, for fear of trust, forget to say The perfect ceremony of love's rite, And in mine own love's strength seem to decay, O'ercharg'd with burthen of mine own love's might. O! let my looks be then the eloquence And dumb presagers of my speaking breast, Who plead for love, and look for recompense, More than that tongue that more hath more express'd. O! learn to read what silent love hath writ: To hear with eyes belongs to love's fine wit."
He had said it without looking at the paper once. He knew it by heart and the whole time his intense eyes never moved away from Lilly.

Lilly's heart skipped as he told her was for her. She listened to perfect speak as he said the sonnet with such love and intensity. When he finished a roar of applause came over the class room. "That was wonderful Felix." Said Ms. Wilson. Lilly looked at him and smiled slightly her pale face had a tint of pink around her cheeks. Allyssa watched in amazement when he finished and he sat down she leaned in next to him and smiled.
"I bet I know who that one was for." She said with a smile and wink. Lilly watched as she leaned in and she let small snicker escape from her lips. Allyssa glared at her "what are you laughing at Dweebette that Sonnet was for me." Allyssa said with a flip of her beautiful long black hair.
Ms Wilson looked around the room "ok who's next....Kiki?" She said with a smile knowing that hers was going to be equally as good as her sisters. She knew that Wells sisters and the Crane bothers were four of the few in the class that her class seriously.
Kiki nodded "sure Ms Wilson. I'd be glad too." Kiki grabbed her tape out of her bag and walked up to the front of the room. She put her tape in and pressed play on the screen read "Sonnet 36 By William Shakespeare." The music began and Kiki's voice was heard over it.
Her voice fit perfectly with the musics melody as she danced on screen she moved with such grace and passion. She kicked and leaped and spun and twirled. Her feet moved so gracefully across the floor it looked as she was never touching the ground. Almost as if she was gliding across the room or flying. Kiki's movement went so perfectly with the words of her sonnet and the beat of music. When the music finished it cut to a black screen with purple riding. And a different piano melody in the back ground. The words read: "Music and effects by Lillian Elizabeth Wells. Lyrics done By William Shakespeare spoken By Kiki Isabella Wells." Kiki smiled and bowed "Thank you." She said to the class. The class clapped and Tammy and Abby stood up and cheered for their best friend.
"That was wonderful Kiki I love how both and your sister not only grasped the meaning of both sonnets but worked perfectly together to put your projects together. Bravo!" Said Ms Wilson. Kiki sat down next to Joseph and smiled "so what'd you think?"

Joseph grinned and stood up from his seat. He moved to the front and leaned closer to Ms. Wilson and spoke, "I was hoping to recite it to a 'partner' of sorts. Could you invite someone to the front to help me do that. I think Kiki will agree..."
Ms. Wilson nodded and turned to the class and spoke, "Kiki, would you mind volunteering to help Joseph perform?"
As Felix sat down he heard Allyssa's comment. He looked at Lilly again and smiled, "That was for you alone, no one else..." He turned to face the front when he heard Ms. Wilson relay the request to Kiki. Most of the people in the class already knew what was coming and were grinning widely at Kiki.
