SO HELLO PEOPLE I'M BACK! :D

As always, please R&R?

Today is Aviva's due date. Baby Day. So instead of going creature adventuring somewhere, we're stuck in New York City, USA. Joy. 4 months ago, we were at Loch Ness and the Loch Ness Monster species got discovered. Now Aviva's the full 9 months (and Candice is 7 months). (Candice had said Aviva was 4-5 months back at Loch Ness. And I learned never to trust her when guessing. She. Is. A. HORRIBLE GUESSER!)

I am way bored. Bored, bored, bored! Aviva's reading, Candice and Chris are re-organizing all Aviva's inventions, Martin's off in the city doing who knows what, Jimmy's at a pizza place and Koki's with her aunt. Well, at least the last time I checked. So I decide to check up at Loch Ness with President Natalia Clarke of the International Nessie Fan Club. Or something like that.

"Natalia!" I tap my Creature Pod. "You awake?"

"Yeah. It's 5 PM here. What's up?" Natalia smiles, and she's by Loch Ness. The hills behind her show she's either on the water or standing on the dock. Most likely on the dock.

"I am SO bored!" I roll me eyes. "We're kind of stuck in New York City until Aviva has her baby. Hospital and all that. How's Loch Ness?"

"It's been doing great!" She flips her Creature Pod camera so it shows the lake. "Nessie and Surgeon had their baby. And my house is flooded with scientists and people who want to study Nessie. I haven't let anyone I don't know do it, though. No matter how much money they offer. Thanks for trusting me with permits and stuff."

"Well, you live around there, so why not?" I shrug, walking into my room. "The government can deal with them. But if you want to earn money, my advice is to charge them for you to listen to their case. Isn't that what courts do?"

Natalia shrugs. "I guess! Hey, I got Nessie to come on call! She'll probably bring Surgeon and the baby. You have an idea on what to name him? And yes, it is a him."

"How about Sherlock?" I suggest. "They're mysteries like Sherlock. That high-functioning sociopath or whatever he likes to call himself."

"Nice one! Official name... Sherlock!" She scribbles the name on a piece of paper. "This is his registry form. Or something like that. The rest of it is all filled out. And apparently, these things require my signature or yours plus some government official."

"Very official!" I smirk.

"NATALIA!" a voice calls from the background. "Come do your chores!"

"Well, I got to go. That's my mom!" She disappears, and the screen goes black. Now what do I do? I tried calling Gavin. He had some family event. UGH! WHAT do I do now? I've read my books: The Hunger Games, Harry Potter, Divergent, The Lunar Chronicles, Mortal Instruments, Percy Jackson, Heroes of Olympus, The Kane Chronicles, Magnus Chase, Lord of the Rings, The Hobbit and the Warriors series like ten times each! (Hey, I like reading AND I've got a lot of time. Don't judge me.)

I grab my favorite book- Mockingjay from The Hunger Games when Martin walks in with a soccer ball. "Hey, Leilani. Come play with us. You've read that book like ten times."

Martin suddenly grabs my book, holding it above his head, and I jump up. "Hey! Give that back, you!"

"You forgot I'm still taller then you." Martin smirks, standing on his tiptoes so I can't reach. UGH! Not fair!

"I hate you so much." I roll my eyes. "You're an idiot."

He laughs. "A clever idiot. Come on!"

"Fine." I fold my arms and hold out one hand for the book. Instead, Martin sets the book on my dresser, grabs my hand and pulls me out of my room. I yelp in surprise, but then follow along since I pretty much have no choice. Chris, Aviva and Candice stand waiting. Aviva sits on the Tortuga ramp, and Chris and Candice are laughing.

"There you are, bro!" Chris exclaims. "Hey Leilani."

"Hi," I reply. "What are the teams?"

"You and me against them two." Chris walks over and looks over at Aviva. "Sorry, Aviva. We can't have you killing yourself."

"I won't!" Aviva protests. "I'll be careful!"

"OH, LIKE, MY GOD!"

I look over and there stand three skinny high-school age girls walking around. Two blondes and a brunette. They remind me of Regina, Karen and Gretchen in Mean Girls. That is one of the best movies ever, seriously!

"Look! It's Chris and Aviva and Martin and Candice!" one of the girls on the side, a brunette exclaims. "Oh my god, Stacie!"

"I know, right!" The blonde in the middle whips something out of her purse. "We're so getting autographs."

"Like, now?" The other blonde on the side asks. "Okay!"

The lead girl- Stacie, I guess- walks up to Chris with a note pad and pen. "Can I, like, have your autograph? Like, all of you?"

"Sure, who do I make it out to?" Chris asks.

"Stacie," the girl answers. Suspicions confirmed.

"And I'm Elisa!" the brunette exclaims.

"And I'm Malia!" the other blonde exclaims.

Stacie is Regina. Elisa is Gretchen. Malia is Karen. They are the real-life Mean Girls. And I LOVE IT! Hopefully they'll say something stupid soon so I can confirm it.

"To Stacie, Elisa and Malia," Martin says as he signs. He's the last one to sign. "There you go."

"OH! MY! GOD! It's Leilani!"

Oh, now you notice me? It's not like I've been standing RIGHT HERE for the past FIVE MINUTES... People can be really stupid. Who is she, Karen?

"Sign too! Please?"

"Sure?" I sign the paper, and they squeal.

"Thanks. Where's, like, Luna?"

"Uh... probably napping in the Tortuga." I shrug.

"So, Aviva, isn't your due date today?" Elisa asks.

"It is," she answers, smiling.

"And mine's in two months!" Candice adds. "For what it counts!"

"What are you going to name him or her?" Elisa asks.

"Not even I know. Good luck trying to get them to spit it out!" I roll my eyes.

"Okay, well, see you!"

They walk off, giggling and gossiping, and I imitate them. "Like, oh my god! The Wild Kratts in, like, New York City!"

We all pretty duch die laughing at that point.

Just to clear this up: Candice /is/ 7 months pregnant and she doesn't show much, like I said in this chapter, and didn't show in the Nessie story much either, so she could get to 3 months without really getting too fat.
