Greg:
[notices that it is almost 10:00] I'm going in. [to Rowley] Cover me!

[Greg scooches toward Holly. Just then, the lights dim, and "Always" by Atlantic Starr begins playing]

Bill:
[over P.A.] All rockers and hardcore skaters off the rink, unless you're lookin' for love. It's time for Couples Skate!

Greg:
I'm making my move. [prepares to tap Holly on the shoulder]

Bill:
[over P.A.] STOP!!!! [The music stops. Greg turns around] Enough of that total lameness! Who's ready to ROCK?! Yeah! [plays the intro to "Cut Throat" by Kittie]

Rodrick:
[makes the "Double Horns" sign with both hands] Whoo!

[Greg stares at Rodrick in disbelief. Rodrick smiles evilly]

Holly:
Come on, let's get outta here. Come on. [she and her friends exit the rink]

[A crowd of violent teenagers enter the rink. They brutally bump into others knocking them over]

Rowley:
[panicking] What're we gonna do?!

Greg:
Stay calm. All we have to do is just stay here.

[Two teenagers grab Rowley and start dragging him along. Rowley screams]

Greg:
Rowley! Hang on!

Rowley:
[screaming] WHOOOOOOOA!!!

[Greg tries to rescue Rowley, but another teenager knocks him flat on his face. As Greg picks himself up, the sound of a record scratching is heard and the music comes to an abrupt stop]

Susan:
[over P.A.] GREG HEFFLEY!!! This is your mother. Everything is going to be okay. Stay where you are, and your father is going to come rescue you. I repeat, everything is going to be okay. Okay, here he comes. Here comes Frank. I see him. He's on his way. Okay.

[Dad struts out into the middle of the rink and picks Greg up, carrying him off]

Greg:
Dad!

Frank:
I know, I know.

[Holly's friends giggle, but Holly isn't amused]

Susan:
[over P.A.] Okay. Alright. Everyone, go back to skating!

[As Dad sets Greg back on his feet, everyone resumes skating]

Frank:
You all right?

Greg:
Yeah.

[Rodrick approaches]

Rodrick:
Hey, Romeo. How'd it go with the new girl?

Greg:
[grunts and lunges at Rodrick, screaming] WHOOOA!!!!

[Greg lands onto Taylor's birthday cake. Rodrick laughs. Greg picks himself up off the smashed cake, his face covered in frosting]

Taylor:
[lividly; to Greg] You ruined my birthday, you...JERK!!!!

[Frank turns on the camera and the TV screen shows a photo of him pouring soda in a cup fountain and is surprised]

Susan:
Oh my god.

Frank:
Rodrick? Can you explain what you're doing in this photo?

Rodrick:
That's not me.

Frank:
That's not you?

Rodrick:
Nope.

Frank:
Okay. How 'bout these?

[Frank then scrolls through his camera showing more photos of Rodrick's house party; Susan is shocked and horrified; Frank then sets his camera down as it stop on the photo of Greg and Rowley]

Frank:
[angrily; to Rodrick] I can't believe that you had a PARTY!

Susan:
Greg, you told me it was a couple of kids. A band rehearsal!

Frank:
Wait, Susan. You knew about this?

Susan:
Yes. Yes, I knew.

Rodrick:
[to Greg] You told Mom?!

Frank:
I knew they had a party!

Greg:
It slipped out, but I took it back!

Susan:
My instincts told me you weren't being honest! I should've trusted my instincts!

Frank:
Wait! You knew about this, but you didn't tell me about it?

Greg:
I still protected you! I threw Mom off your scent!

Rodrick:
Great job. She has no idea!

Frank:
We are supposed to be a team against them!

Susan:
They were getting along so well I let it blind me to the truth!

Rodrick:
Why were you taking pictures?!

Greg:
It was so crazy that morning, I forgot we took the pictures.

Susan:
So I let it slide. And I am so sorry. Oh, God. It feels so good to get that out. [points to the bathroom door] I haven't been able to look at that bathroom door for two weeks!

Frank:
I knew that door had a lock on it! And everybody was trying to make me feel like I was losing my mind!
