Kenickie is none too pleased when his cousins from England transfer to Rydell High. Will they join the Pink Ladies? Can he keep his fellow T Birds away from them? His head hurts just thinking about it.

I finish pinning my hair up and go wait by the door for Rizzo to pick me up for the dance-off. Her date's driving us there, and as I expected my date is also a Scorpion. Kenickie is going to flip but I can't help that, besides its bugger all to do with him.
"You look beautiful," my mum gushes for the hundredth time. "I wish I'd got a picture of you and Sylvie together." Sylvia was wise and left earlier with one of her friends.
"You can take a photo when we get back," I tell her although who knows what time that will be. A car horn sounds interrupting us. "That'll be Rizz, I've gotta go." Mum pulls a face no doubt not impressed that I've been summoned with a beep beep. I run out before she can complain and get into the back of Balmudo's car. Rizzo turns around from the front seat grinning at me.
"Well look at you," she says, her eyes bright.
"You been drinking?" She laughs and passes a bottle to me.
"Get some of that inside of you," she says and I take a swig from the bottle. I swear I've been virtually teetotal since getting here. "Oh, and this is Vinny." She points at the guy sat next to me, and makes the introductions.
"Hey," he says. "So you're English, that's cool." I try not to roll my eyes, and Rizzo splutters.
"Told ya it wouldn't be a problem," she says and Vinny frowns at her, not following. "Eve was thinking you might wanna check out the goods before agreeing to take her." I cringe but Vinny grins.
"You look great doll."
"Thanks." I feel kind of uncomfortable in my dress, it's not my usual style. All the lace, and the puffed out skirt, make me feel like I've stepped out of a Disney film. Rizzo is wearing a tight red dress, and I wonder if my look is over the top for American dances?
"So have you heard who Kenickie's date is?" Rizzo asks, and I shoot a quick glance at Balmudo but he doesn't seem bothered by the question.
"No idea, I don't really talk to him so much."
Rizzo nods. "Yeah, conversation ain't his strong point." She giggles, and I pass her the bottle back as we pull into the car park. She takes a final swig before getting out.
"Come on Eve," she says linking her arm through mine. "Let's go get 'em."

We walk into the gym hall and it's actually quite impressive. They've really made an effort with the decorations although I swear there's still a lingering smell of sweat. Rizzo nudges me.
"Hey look at that," she says pointing to a decoration at the back of the hall. It's like a paper mache snowman. Okay, that's lame.
"I wonder if there's a Santa's grotto out back," I say and Rizzo laughs hysterically. Clearly she's had too much to drink. Vinny slips his arm around my waist as Rizzo leads the way. I spot Danny in the corner with Sandy, and she's wearing this white dress that's almost bridal. She looks gorgeous.
