The surprise party wasn't going to be much of a surprise if Ruby couldn't figure out how to keep Heath from going straight home after school. She had promised her parents that she would keep her little brother away from the house for two hours so they could set up for his party.

Ruby asked Heath if he wanted to go to the park to swing, but he said he had too much homework. She offered to push him as high as he wanted to go, but that didn't help. He just wanted to do his homework.

She offered to buy him a chocolate shake, but he said he wasn't hungry and needed to study. She didn't know what else to do. Her parents were going to be so disappointed in her.

Then Ruby got the best idea ever. "How about we go to the library, and I can help you with your homework?" she asked Heath.

"That would be great!" Heath said, his face lighting up. "I have a lot of studying to do, though. It might take a couple of hours."

"Perfect!"
