Author's Note: WHAT TIME IS IT? SUMMERTIME! I'm sorry. I couldn't resist. But seriously, school just ended yesterday. It was great. I burned some of my papers. Hehehe…I just saw like, five people who were on Degrassi in Disney Channel Movies. My sister was watching "Sharpay's Fabulous Adventure" (stupidest movie ever) and suddenly, I saw Joey. And Paige! And then a few days later, I was flipping through the channels and I saw Vanessa Morgan and I was like, "Yay! A Canadian! I'll watch it!" But it was just another Disney Channel Movie called "My Babysitter's a Vampire". I watched it anyway and was so glad I did. Because I saw Griffin! He was a vampire. But best of all, I saw Peter and Manny. Cassie Steele and Jamie Johnston were the Edward and Bella in the movie's spoof of Twilight (Bloodsucker Diaries series, and the movie was called "Unbitten"). I was surprised and excited at the same time because their faces were on posters in the movie and they even made Jamie sparkle! I didn't finish watching the movie, though. I didn't feel like it. But for a Disney Channel Movie, it was going well up until that point. Probably because of the Canadians because Canadians are obviously better at everything. Sorry. I have a Canadian obsession. Why else would I watch Degrassi? Actually, Degrassi caused it. Whoa. This is a long Author's Note. Why don't I start the story? By the way, a few people have asked me to write a Dolly J. story and this is that story. Jiberty Fan gave me this idea and that was super nice, so that deserves a round of applause and a big, "YAY!" So yeah. It's story time! Remember how that phrase used to excite you so much when you were little? We were learning about how to talk about what you did when you were little in Spanish. Okay. Now I'm done. :D

Disclaimer: I don't own Degrassi. If I did, K.C. and Connor would be buddies again. :)

"Hurry up, Fiona! We're gonna be late! What are you painting, your lips or the Mona Lisa?" I called from the living room of the condo. It was about twenty minutes until homeroom started, yet Fiona seemed far from prepared to leave for school.

"Calm down, Holly J! We'll make it on time." Fiona assured me.

"But I have to be early!"

"What's the rush?"

"Announcements. If I don't make it for them, Sav will take it as an opportunity to test that dorky intro that I haven't had the heart to tell him is…well…dorky." I explained.

"Why don't you tell him? You had the heart to dump him. Seems like a step down from that. " She reminded me.

"I still feel kinda bad about the breakup. And if I brought him down even more, it would make it even harder than it already is now to work with him on student council."

"Maybe you should have thought about that before you had a fling with him." Fiona had never really liked the idea of Sav and me going out. And I guess she had a right to be, considering she wanted me to marry her brother and then developed a small crush on me herself. But aside from that, she was still right. I should have known that things would get weird afterward and remembered that I still had to work with him regardless.

"Yeah, I know. I've heard your little speech enough. Now could you get moving?"

"I don't wake up looking the way I always do at school. This look takes time to create!"

"You know what look takes seconds to create? A bloody nose."

"Gosh! Cranky, much?"

"I won't be after we leave and I can get a cup of coffee."

"Fine. I'm hurrying! But don't expect me to look like a million bucks as usual."

"With the time you're taking, you better look like at least a billion."

"Well, you tell me." She finally stepped out of the bathroom and posed elegantly. I glanced at her.

"You look fine. Now let's go."

"Wow, Holly J. Why don't you lighten up? Why are you even sweating over something trivial as the announcements? You've got bigger things to worry about! That huge math test on Thursday, planning that school fundraiser, graduation, preparing for Yale…" she began listing, but when she mentioned Yale, I perked up. I had gotten a letter from Yale in the mail the day before. It was all about how they were glad that I had applied and about a planned tour for incoming freshman this weekend. But most importantly, it mentioned a financial aid program that I desperately needed to use. I had forgotten about it. I had to contact the program with the phone number listed on the letter by Sunday to be eligible for it. I frantically searched for the letter in my bag, thinking that I had lost it. But I spotted it sticking out of one of my binders and relaxed. Fiona noticed that I wasn't paying attention to her.

"Are you even listening?" she asked, crossing her arms.

"Yeah, but we have to go now."

"Oh, really? Then what was I saying?" she raised her eyebrows in anticipation.

"I don't have time for games. We have fifteen minutes to get coffee and go to school, so let's leave."

"Fine…" Fiona sighed before trudging over to her book bag and following me out the door.

On the way to school, we unfortunately were captured in the morning rush hour traffic. Fiona took this time to perfect her makeup, and I used it to angrily sip at my coffee and beep my horn at the half-asleep middle aged employees blocking my lane who all probably didn't want to go to work anyway. With each passing minute, my mind drifted to the announcements. If Sav performed that intro rap, the reputation of the announcements would be tarnished even more than when he wore that Cupid costume for Valentine's Day.

"Holly J," Fiona jolted me from my thoughts, "Do you have any mascara? I forgot mine."

"I don't know. Maybe in my bag?"

"Okay. I'll check." I heard her hands sift through my backpack in search for my makeup pouch, but instead of pulling out the little blue bag, she grabbed something else.

"What's this?" she asked before looking at it, "A letter from Yale?"

"Hey! Keep your eyes off my mail!" I warned her.

"And you keep your eyes on the road!" she mocked me, "Now let's see what this baby says…" she scanned the letter, "Oh! A special freshman tour this weekend! Can I come with you? I have nothing to do and I hate being alone in my condo."

"You could…if I were actually going."

"Well, why aren't you going?"

"I'd have to fly there. I can't afford a plane ticket."

"Well, lucky for you, I can."

"Fiona. I can't force you to pay for my trip to Yale."

"Not your trip. Our trip." She corrected me.

"Fiona…"

"Come on! I've been stuck in this city for far too long. I need to see the world. And you do, too!"

"I'll see Yale when I arrive next fall."

"But don't you want a leg up? A chance to settle in while all of the other freshmen wander around aimlessly in search for their dorms? A way to meet the teachers that you may have later so you can make a good impression?"

"That's not a big deal."

"Please? It'll be a fun adventure! If for nothing else, do it for your best friend!" She gave me her best puppy dog face. I sighed. You can't say no to Fiona Coyne.

"Alright. But this is a university, not a tourist attraction. No funny business. Promise?"

"Why do you doubt me, Holly J? I'll be an angel. I swear." She smiled. I rolled my eyes. I could already tell that it was going to be an interesting weekend.

Author's Note: So I hope that wasn't a total failure so far. I hope you liked it. Do you want to review? If so, go ahead. :D
