“Calm down, Tam, I can’t understand you,” Candace urged.

“I won a Zone anniversary prize! I never win anything, but I went through the turnstile, and I won!”

“Congratulations. What did you win?”

“I don’t know yet, I’m waiting to hear.”

“Tamara, where are you?” Candace asked.

“In the Hall of Fame.”

Candace turned around and headed back for the Home Stretch. Once she reached the Hall of Fame, she went inside and found Tamara sitting in a chair with a customer ser vice ref.

Tamara leapt to her feet and threw her arms around Candace. “Guess what I won?”

“You know now?”

“Yes! I won dinner for a group at Boone’s.”

Boone’s was the exclusive, members-only restaurant on top of the fort in the History Zone.

”I actually won something! I never win anything!”

“Congratulations, Tam! What are you going to do with it?”

“I’ve been thinking maybe a party for my parents for their anniversary.”

“That would rock,” Candace said. “As long as I’m invited, of course,” she joked.

Tamara rolled her eyes. “Of course you are!”

“Seriously, that’s awesome.”

“I’ve got a party to plan. You’ll help me, right?”

“Totally.”

Tamara finished up her paperwork, and they left. “So, what were you doing here anyway?” Candace asked.

“Oh my gosh, I forgot!” Tamara said, grabbing her by the shoulders. “I was coming to surprise you. We’re going out to dinner to celebrate.”

“Celebrate what?”

“I got my acceptance letter to UCLA!”

Candace squealed and hugged her. “Awesome! Congratulations.”

“Thank you.”

“So, where are we going to dinner?”

“I was thinking of Aphrodite’s.”

“Rock on.”

“Hey, you know what Mr. Bailey said today about us needing as many people on Saturday to help build sets as we can get?”

“Yeah.”

“I was thinking we should ask Josh and James.”

“Tam, that’s a brilliant idea.”

“Thought you’d like it. I’ll ask James; you ask Josh.”

“I could go ask him now. I think he’s still working.”

“Cool, go do that, and I’ll get us a table at the restaurant.”

Candace dashed over to the Splash Zone. She found Josh outside the Kowabunga ride. “Josh, I have something to ask you.”

“I already told you, you’re just going to have to wait until the contest like everybody else. Our talent is a secret.”

“It’s not that.”

“Oh, then fire away.”

“Josh, would you come help my drama class on Saturday? We’re building sets and could use all the hands we can get.”

He looked at her and smiled. “Is Tamara asking James?”

“That’s the plan,” Candace admitted. “There’ll be free lunch.”

“Yes, what an enticement,” he said teasingly.

“So, help a girl out?”

“Well, when you put it that way, I can’t very well refuse, can I?”

“No.”

“Fair enough. We’ll be there at nine.”

“Thank you!”

She waved and ran toward the History Zone. She arrived just in time to be seated. “Josh is on board.”

“Awesome. What’s the use of knowing big, strong guys if you can’t manipulate them into doing hard labor for you?”

Tamara laughed.

“Good point.”

As soon as they were seated, Candace spotted a couple at a table across the room. “Tamara, look!”

“Who’s Sue eating with?” Tamara asked, twisting around to look.

“That’s Checkmark.”

“Who?” Tamara asked.

“Mark, you know, your pity date from a couple months ago.”

“Mark! How on earth did he meet Sue?”

“He works here now at the Kowabunga ride.
