Massie Block: Leading the Pretty Committee into eighth grade. Her hair grew out to the desired just-below-the-shoulder blowout that she hoped for, so she ditched her "revolsive" extentions. That's good, because now they won't fall out when she's clawing down her enemies, rival clique The Preppies. Extentions are so out now, anyway. Much to her shock, anime is what's hot now. So she's dragging the Pretty Committee to San Jose for Fanime, the world's most known anime convention. San Jose, here comes the Pretty Committee!

Alicia Rivera: So happy about going to San Jose! California guys are supposed to be smoking hot. Not so much, it turns out. Aside from the new Briarwood boy, Alicia is stuck in a world of ugly guys. Wondering where all the hot guys went. Fortunately, she's got Josh…right?

Dylan Marvil: So glad her mom split from Mr. "Moronic" Myner. That is, until she finds out her mom is moving them all to Danville. Why couldn't it be at least near-by San Francisco? Danvile has nothing to offer her, besides the horrors of (gasp) public school. Can Dylan survive Zeno Grove Middle School? What about the complete lack of hot guys in Cali? Ahhhh!

Kristen Gregory: So bored. Enters a scholarship program that wants to stick her California. Will she stick with the Pretty Committee, or ditch for California and her soccer scholarship? After all, Dylan is there now…

Claire Lyons: Has a new, Massie-like attitude. Can she use it to get Emily IN as the new Dylan? With all her effort, she might convince her that The Preppies are so beyond Z-listers. Ick.

Enter

Emily Stevens: new girl from Texas. Sibling of Alicia's newest crush. Thinks that friendship with The Preppies is what she needs to be A-list. Now Claire has to work double-hard to convince her to join TPC. Will TPC decide she's not worth it?

Kendal Hunter: new girl from Georgia. Knows that the Pretty Committee is A-list. Wants in. Looks like Lindsay Lohan, pre-drug-rehab-and-hair-dye-happy. In the eyes of the Pretty Committee, this is somewhat a good thing, if you know how to flaunt it. Kendal is going to have to compete with Emily, though. Are celebrity-like looks enough to surpass Claire's Emily-aimed favoritism? Can Kendal make it IN, or will she be fed to the B-listers?

The Block Estate

Massie's suite

8:00 PM, December 9th

"Hey Claire, careful, don't kill yourself…" Massie Block teased as she walked past her friend, holding a box of purple crystal ornaments.

Claire Lyons rolled her eyes, but she was smiling. "Tell them that! They're the ones who can kill me." She looked down at her friends from her spot on a tall, but very wobbly, ladder. Claire leaned forward, clutching a solid gold star, which she was trying to stick atop Massie's personal mini Christmas tree. Alicia Rivera and Kristen Gregory held the shaking ladder still. "Almost done, guys. Hang on…"

Dylan Marvil, who was sitting on Massie's bed unpacking ornaments, let out a small whimper. She rubbed her eyes furiously.

Kristen immediately forgot the importance of her job. "Dyl! What's the matter? Your mom just broke up with Moronic Myner. What's wrong? That's a totally good thing, so-"

But that was all she got out before there was a loud CRASH! Claire moaned. "Ow…"

Everyone whipped around to stare at the girl on the floor. Massie understood what happened immediately. When Kristen let go of the ladder, the legs had given out and snapped in half, leaving Alicia open-mouthed and clutching to her half of the ladder's metal leg.

"Dyl, are you crying? Seriously, if anyone gets to cry, I really think it should be me. After all, you're rich, you're skinny, popular and-"

"MovingtoDanvilleintwodays!" Dylan blurted.

"Whaaaat?!" The girls of the Pretty Committee girls were all shocked.

"Mymomreallydoesn'tlikeMr.Mynernowsoshe'smovingusalltoDanvilleandIreallydon'twannago-o-o!"Dylan was full-out crying now.

Bean hopped up onto Dylan's lap. She rubbed her nose on Dylan's arm. "C'mon, you're even worrying Bean!' Massie pleaded. Bean tapped Dylan's chest with her paw, as though she were agreeing with Massie.

"Well-" Dylan paused to sniffle one last time. "My mom is moving us to Danville. She wants to do her show from celebrities' houses. So, she's moving us to California where all the celebs are. Guys, I don't wanna go."

"Oh…" The girls looked at each other, each with a sinking feeling that nothing was going to be the same ever again.

A/N: Sorry, but I had to make it known she'll be missed. So what'd you think? Too long? Too short? Too, um, mushy? (No worries though, the mushy is over now.) Any way this is my first FanFic so please be nice. ( :
