Let's face it, I'm a nerd. I really don't have much going for me. I'm bad at sports, clumsy, shy around girls, and have low self-esteem. On the positive side, I'm an excellent student.

SCHOOL DANCE THIS FRIDAY IN THE GYMNASIUM 7PM

I've had a crush on a girl in my class named Eden since kindergarten. There was a school dance on Friday and I really wanted to go with her. I took a deep breath and walked over. "Would you, um,  like to go to the, uh, dance with me?" "I'm sorry Iggy. I'm already going with Jared." "Oh, okay."

"What was I thinking? Of course she already had a date. Jared was more mature and sophisticated. He was in Grade Six after all." As if things weren't bad enough, the skies suddenly opened up and it started to pour.

The trail got a little slippery and I fell off my scooter and rolled down a hill. I awoke to find myself in some type of cave or tunnel. I was okay except for a minor headache. I frantically searched for my glasses as I can't see a thing without them.

Even though I was President of The Star Wars Club at school, I was not prepared for what I was about to see. I was surrounded by little orange men who looked to be working on some kind of digging project. "Hello Earthling!" one of the orange creatures welcomed me.

"Who are you?" "We are from the planet Fozzie. Do not worry. We are a peaceful, intelligent alien species. Our leader sends us on missions to learn about other planets in the universe. Earth has always fascinated us and so we came here to take some rock specimens to study."

"Our mission is top secret and we don't want any humans finding out about us. Therefore, in exchange for your silence we are giving you the Dynasty Diamond. Whoever has possession of the diamond can be anything they want to be." I took hold of the diamond and looked at it. More than anything, I wanted to be cool.

Within seconds this nerdy 10 year old was transformed into a cool, good-looking, and charming guy. "This is amazing! Thank you!" "It's important to remember not to abuse the power of the diamond...." "Yeah, yeah. I've got a dance to get ready for!"

When I made my grand entrance, everybody in the gym stopped dancing to look at me. All the girls were smiling and pointing as I winked at them. "Hello ladies. Do you happen to know where Eden is?" "She's over there" one of the girls giggled. "Thanks babe!"

"Pardon me Mademoiselle, may I have this dance?" "Listen pal, she's with me" Jared interrupted. "Make yourself useful and go get the lady some punch." "Yes sir." "I haven't seen you around school. Are you new?" I wanted to tell her it was me, Iggy but I had to keep it a secret. "Why yes. I am. My name is, uh, Dash. Dash Handsome."

"I had a wonderful time tonight Dash. I hope I can see you again." "I'm sure you will." Eden then leaned in and kissed me on the cheek. "See you soon!" she said beaming from ear to ear. I stood and watched her walk back inside the gym. Oh what a night!
