Chapter 1
"Darren and I have something very important to say. But you have to SHUT UP if you wanna hear it!"
Joey was trying his best to simmer down the Starkids as they arrived at the airport in Chicago. They had just arrived from L.A. to tell them totally awesome news. Some may say it was completely stupid but they thought they'd all be glad to hear it.
"SHUT YOUR UNGODLY, LOPSIDED MOUTHS AND STOP INTERRUPTING! 10 points from all houses," Dylan quickly intercepted each and every one of their conversations. And everyone was quiet after that. With a satisfied look he told them," Now listen to them! It's obviously they can't contain it for one more second!"
This is it! They're gonna be soooooo HAPPY, AH! Darren thought with a huge grin on his face. It was true, they really were bursting at the seams to tell them their news.
"Guys… I WE'RE COMING BACK! I quit Glee because I was just sick of the plot. It just didn't seem like it was going to get anywhere in the foreseeable future so… We've talked about this and we would really like it we could, you know, be an inseparable family like we once were. I mean, we have always been a family and always will be but we just felt that it was too much to not be near you guys!" Darren exclaimed with excitement.
"Yeah, it was literally 'You know what would make this better? If everyone else was here!' So what do you say…?" Joey asked with his adorable smile that always brought out how cute his jaw was.
They all looked at the two of them, astonished. Completely token by surprise and not one of them said a word. They all looked at them wide-eyed and open mouthed.
"HUDDLE, PEASANTS!" Lauren shouted and as quick as the wind all of them gathered; Dylan, Brian Holden, Joe Walker, Brian Rosenthal, Meredith, Jaime, Denise, Julia, Jeff, Lily and last and certainly the shortest, Lauren.
"This is some serious shit… MAN I'M GLAD THEY'RE BACK", she squealed quietly as quietly as she could. There was only one thing left to do…
"Ahem, we have decided that… you can just… STAY FOREVER AND NEVER, EVER, EVER LEAVE AGAIN!" Meredith screamed and everyone was now laughing, crying, jumping, and dancing around the airport.
"Watch out Jaime! There's a-", Walker started to tell her but she was too excited to listen to him.
"AHH!" Jaime screamed as she tripped on some sort of plant and plummeted to the floor. She looked at all of them but Denise's face just made her crack. Everyone was now in hysterics. The Starkids left the airport and they had arranged a minibus for the journey to and from the airport.
"Alright Starkids! Pick a partner and sit with them.
They decided;
Julia & Darren
Joe & Jaime
Lauren & Brian
Dylan& Denise
Joey & Meredith
Looks like Brosenthal was the one driving.
"Okay Dikrats, calm down so I can concentrate!" Brian shouted through the bus. Everyone quietened down and started talking to the person sat next them.
Meredith and Joey sat at the back of the bus where it was quieter. Lauren and Brian were next to them, Dylan and Lily were in front of them and in front of Brian and Lauren were Joe and Jaime.
"Oh, Joey, we're all so glad you guys are back! We're all gonna have so much fun," Meredith beamed a brilliant smile him and she just looked at her. Looked at how the light shone in her chocolate brown hair with the golden highlights that were created but the sunshine. He smiled back and they hugged for longer than it probably should have done. They looked into each other's eyes and Joey told Meredith, "I'm just glad I'm back with you and the family. It really hasn't been right not being able to see you guys."
Brian and Lauren were talking about what they could all have for dinner that day.
"We could just go out for dinner! It's not like it's going to be too much hassle and I really like the breakfast- for- dinner idea," Brian said.
"I can make pancakes when we get it! It's not like I can't cook!"
"You can't cook!" Everyone shouted at her inside of the bus. This startled Brosenthal and he slightly swerved the bus. He made a very obscene gesture to the car beeping at him.
"GUYS, STOP SHOUTING! God, you nearly gave me a heart attack!" Brian exclaimed to himself. He just wanted to drive straight home to the Starkid Mansion and relax. However, what Jaime told him earlier, it wasn't going to be that relaxing.
"Joe Walker, is that what I think it is?! It's a, it's a… diary! Ha-ha!" Jaime laughed so much she started crying and was complaining that her stomach was hurting.
"Yes I'm holding a diary- shit! Journal. It's a Journal."
"Whatever you say Walker." Jaime looked at him. He was smiling at his 'journal'. He looked so relaxed and, well, charming. The evening light shone on his journal and he was so squinting to look at his paper.
Lauren was becoming sleepy.
"Bri, you mind if a have a nap? I'm so tired and I just need a sleep so I'm not tired for the surprise later." Lauren was putting her head on Brian's arm (because she couldn't reach his shoulder)
"Sure it is Laur-" Brian couldn't even finish his sentence without hearing Lauren snoring lightly. He suddenly thought of how cute she looked while she was sleeping (not creepily) but in the sort of loving way, like a brother. Maybe… he'd never thought her other than a little sister…
Brian was pulling up onto the driveway of the mansion. Brian woke Lauren up and everyone came very obvious yet secretive something was going on…
Everyone helped to unload the minibus and they too their bags into the foyer, if you will, of the great building.
"Why the hell is it so dark in here? And why does it smell like -"
"SURPRISE!"
