Ooh so Silver is West's sister! That's interesting. And I wonder what the story is with West and the other Meadows.

Sami!!! Good thing Lucas kept her in check. Hopefully Allie will have a good time.

Great chapter @andedimera.

So lemme get this straight, Silver and Meadow West are not only related but they are sisters too to boot? I wonder why Silver has kept quiet about her family? Or better yet why Meadow wouldn't tell anyone that she had any family?

Meadow's mother meeting Johnny's mother and step father surely is no accident

Could Sami be any more overbearing or overprotective?

Great episode

[mae00]

I'm glad you picked up on that connection heroicmuse because I completely missed it!

I loved the flashback when they started going to Salem. I'm wondering of Johnny may have grown a little and he just doesn't want to acknowledge it.

To funny that Sami is the overbearing one and Lucas is the easy going one. Usually with daughters, it's the dad's who are threatening and protective.

Sounds like everything is off to a good start. I'm concerned about the Meadows tho. Them trying to teach Shaw that she can't have what she wants all the time doesn't sound good.

[Kpatch]

I'm impressed by the way Johnny is treating Meadow. Very gentlemanly. Maybe there's hope for him yet.

I think the Meadows were originally based on the Heathers. Am I right?

[André DiMera]

That is correct, Kpatch. The Meadows are based on the Heathers. I was actually listening to the soundtrack of the musical when I came up with the characters.

Tuesday - 5/4

SALEM HIGH SCHOOL
Allie, Sydney, Ricky and Silver walked in to the gym, where the dance was being held. CLICK HERE to listen to the music that’s playing.
SYDNEY: Wow!
SILVER: This is beautiful!
ALLIE: Yeah, it’s really nice.
SILVER: Wanna dance?
SYDNEY: Sure! Let’s go!
ALLIE: Have fun!
Sydney and Silver ran off together to the dance floor.
RICKY: Your sister’s a cute kid.
ALLIE: She is. Thanks for being cool with driving them.
RICKY: Hey, no problem at all. She’s your family. Family’s everything. So, her and Silver, are they…?
ALLIE: No. At least, I don’t think so. I think Silver wants them to be, and they’d be so cute if they were.
RICKY: Gotcha.
ALLIE: I’ve never been to one of these before.
RICKY: They’re not bad. Wanna dance?
ALLIE: I’d love to.
Ricky and Allie took each other by the hand and went out to the dance floor. Meanwhile, Johnny and Meadow West were getting some punch.
JOHNNY: Nice night so far.
WEST: That it is. I’m actually impressed, DiMera.
JOHNNY: Will wonders never cease?
They chuckled slightly.
WEST: Seriously, though, I don’t want to jinx it, but this is the first Last Blast I’m actually enjoying.
JOHNNY: And we’re not going to jinx it, either. I will do whatever I can to make you happy, I promise you that.
WEST: Well, what would make me happy right now is another dance.
JOHNNY: This way, m’lady.
Johnny held out his hand. West took it. Just as they were about to get to the dance floor, Meadow Shaw walked over.
SHAW: So, this is your date, then?
JOHNNY: That’s right.
Shaw gave West a look.
SHAW: Traitor.
WEST; Is everyone who does something that you don’t agree with a traitor?
SHAW: No, just the ones who are supposed to be my best friends.
WEST: Funny you should mention best friends. That’s a bit rich, considering how things went with you and-
SHAW: Do not go there. Just don’t.
JOHNNY: So, where’s your date, then?
SHAW: Funny. I decided I’m going solo. It’s very in right now.
JOHNNY: Says who?
SHAW: Says me. I am, after all, the most popular girl in school. Besides, who needs to win a stupid dance contest? It’s overrated.
West raised an eyebrow in amusement.
WEST: Right. Have you seen the other Meadow yet?
SHAW: No, it seems she’s a bit miffed with me at the moment.
JOHNNY (under his breath): Wonder why.
Shaw glared. She was about to say something when the group was joined by Meadow Cole and Shaw’s brother, Tristan.
COLE: Well, isn’t this a lovely gathering? Hello, Meadow, Johnny.
WEST: Meadow.
JOHNNY: Hey. Tristan.
TRISTAN: How’s it goin’?
JOHNNY: Not bad, man.
Johnny and Tristan fist bumped.
SHAW: I’m sorry, hold the phone here. You two are cool again?
TRISTAN: Sure, why wouldn’t we be? Johnny made the right decision.
JOHNNY: And Tristan and I were able to come to an understanding.
Then, Shaw turned to Cole.
SHAW: And you.
COLE: What about me?
SHAW: May I speak with you for a moment? In private?
COLE: Only if my date doesn’t mind.
TRISTAN: Go for it. I was gonna suggest taking a break anyway.
COLE: Great. I’ll be right back. This shouldn’t take long.
Shaw and Cole walked away together.
WEST: And there’s about to be fireworks.

[heroicmuse]

I agree with West. There's going to be a lot of drama shortly.

Hopefully at least Allie and Ricky will have a good time and not be affected by all the Meadows' drama.

Great chapter André DiMera.

[Kpatch]

Shaw thinks too highly of herself.

I'm a little nervous about the trouble the other Meadows are going to create.

[mae00]

Oooh this is gonna be good. Tristan and Cole came together?? I'm sure Shaw is more than peeved about this. Sounds like she is getting left out in the cold on this one. I see a temper tantrum coming but I'm not sure she's gonna learn from it.

[tghca]

I wonder what they have planned

It seems the Last Blast Dance is going off without a hitch well so far

[lumiforeverandalways]

Typical protective Sami
Great Chapters

Wednesday - 5/5

SALEM HIGH SCHOOL
CLICK HERE to listen to the music that’s playing.
JOHNNY: Should we...you know, go after them?
TRISTAN: I wouldn’t, dude. If what I think is about to happen really is about to happen, we might wanna steer clear of my sister for a while.
WEST: Yeah. So, about that dance…
JOHNNY: Right. See you round, man.
TRISTAN: Have fun out there.
JOHNNY: My lady.
West took Johnny’s hand again, and the two went onto the dance floor. In the hallway outside of the gym, the other two Meadows were arguing.
SHAW: Tristan? Of all the people you could have brought, you had to go with my idiot half-brother?
COLE: I needed to get your attention somehow, I figured this would do it. And unlike you, Tristan was actually kind enough to say yes.
SHAW: Babe, you know I would have loved to go to the dance with you.
COLE: But you didn’t. In fact, you did the opposite. You asked Johnny, even though you know how Meadow feels about him.
SHAW: You said you understood why I did that. You know I’m not there yet! It’s great that you are, but I’m not!
COLE: I know! And I do understand. Believe me, I know that it’s hard. But this-
SHAW: Babe, we talked about this.
COLE: Yeah, we did. But talking about it and actually seeing it happen are two different things. Look, the problem isn’t you, it’s me. I thought I’d be cool with it, but I’m not.
SHAW: What exactly are you saying? Are you breaking up with me?
COLE: We can’t really be broken up since we were never really a couple.
SHAW: No. no, you don’t mean that!
COLE: Meadow, I understand. You’ve told me before that you’re not ready, and I have been trying my best to respect that. But I also know that I’m not comfortable with the way things are anymore.
Shaw exhaled sharply.
SHAW: So, it seems that both of my supposed best friends are traitors.
COLE: I’m sorry. I don’t want to hurt you, I really don’t. But I’m tired of being hurt, myself.
SHAW: Just go.
Cole sighed, then turned and walked back into the gym. Back inside, Allie and Ricky were coming off the dance floor and grabbed some punch.
ALLIE: This is such a great night! Thanks for saying yes to coming with me!
RICKY: Thanks for asking! I’m having a great night, too! You’re really good at dancing.
Allie turned slightly pink.
ALLIE: I’m okay. You’re really great, though.
RICKY: Thanks.
Manny walked over.
MANNY: Hey, guys! I knew I’d run into you two sooner or later!
ALLIE: Manny!
RICKY: Hey, sis.
Manny took Allie by the hands.
MANNY: Chica, you look gorgeous!
ALLIE: Thank you! I really love your dress!
MANNY: Thanks. So, you guys joining the dance contest?
Allie and Ricky looked at each other.
ALLIE: It sounds kinda fun.
RICKY: Let’s do it, then!
Allie and Ricky walked over to the front table and put their names down with Mr. Woods for the dance contest.
WOODS: Good luck, you two.
A few minutes later, after Mr. Woods went over the rules, the dance contest began. CLICK HERE to listen to the song that’s playing. All of the people that had come as a couple, as well as several who had just come as friends, got onto the floor. Allie and Ricky, Johnny and Meadow West, Tristan and Meadow Cole, Sydney and Silver, and all of the others.
SYDNEY: I am having the best time! This is so fun!
SILVER: Me too! Thank you so much for coming with me!
SYDNEY: Of course!
SILVER: Hey, can I ask you something?
SYDNEY: Yeah, totally. We’re best friends. You can ask me anything.
SILVER: Have you ever kissed a girl before?
SYDNEY: No.
SILVER: Oh.
SYDNEY: I’ve never kissed a boy before, either. I’ve never kissed anyone, for that matter, except people who are related to me, and I don’t think that counts.
The two girls giggled slightly.
SILVER: Probably not.
SYDNEY: Have you? I mean, since you asked me.
SILVER: No. Not yet, anyway. There is someone I’ve been wanting to, but I haven’t worked up the courage to yet.
SYDNEY: Really? Who?
They stopped dancing. Silver leaned in and kissed Sydney.

[heroicmuse]

Ooh I wonder how Sydney will react.

I'm glad Allie and Ricky are having a good time. Wonder who will win the dance contest.

Shaw is going to end up alone. It's time the other Meadows stood up to her.

Great chapter André DiMera.

[Kpatch]

Too bad Shaw and Cole couldn't work things out. Maybe Cole and Manny will get together.

Good start to the big dance!

[mae00]

I'm so glad that almost everyone is having a good time.

I'm so glad that Cole and West stood up to Shaw. But I don't think this is where it all is going to end. Shaw will be out for revenge after all of this.

I wonder how Sydney is going to react to that kiss.
