Part THREE! Yayness! I really can't believe that I've been writing these. And I started in 8th grade. Weird...

-ONE-

Ia, the 18 (almost 19) year-old sat on the swing besides her grandfather's house. She and Skie lived in the apartment above it while he's in the nursing home.

She sighed slowly and looked up at the deep blue sky with the big puffy clouds that she loved. She would be happy, if she wasn't so miserable.

"This sucks." she said to herself. According to her and her boyfriend, she spoke her mind a little too much. But she didn't care.

"What sucks?" someone asked from behind her. She slowly turned her head and saw Sanji behind her.

She jumped up and went into his arms and was about to have a passionate kiss with him when a giant CLAP of thunder hit and her eyes opened to see her closed laptop over across the small bedroom on her desk. Outside the old window, rain was lashing and a lightning bolt streaked across the sky making a purplish glow hit her bedroom.

"DAMN!" she yelled but shut up instantly, hoping not to wake anybody. She and Skie had the boys staying in the living room. But to be even more cautious, they had them in the living room downstairs and their door was locked along with their bedroom doors.

The reason for the swear was that she had liked the dream. Sure she was going out with Cam but still. What the hell was wrong with her?

She laid back down on her squishy bed that was three feet up from the floor for about five minutes when she realized that she couldn't fall back asleep.

Getting up crankily, she flipped up her laptop's screen and started typing her sequal to her first book that was already out in stores all across the country and Britain. She was becoming famous and she could take a bath in the amount of dollar bills she had just laying around her room. Skie was the same way but she had it instead with Mangas. She had about three copies already out in stores. She was even trying to start her own publishing company. Her dream.

H-E-R-E-I-T-G-O-E-S-A-G-A-I-N

The church bells were toling the hour of 10 when Ia awoke after being up for two hours last night. She could smell the waffles in the kitchen that Skie was making.

She looked out the window and saw that it was still raining. Well, not really. There was a mist in the air and it had a chill to it. She liked those kinds of days. A day to dress in her sweatshirts and jeans on a mid July day.

She walked out into the kitchen to see Skie already dressed and ready to go.

"Where are you going?" Ia asked, rubbing her eyes and getting some of her blueberry waffles out of the freezer. Skie, for some retarded reason, didn't like blueberries. Crazy person. (!P)

"Nowhere. I just felt like getting dressed early and looking nice today. Is that a problem?" Skie asked a little shrilly.

Ia looked slightly confused. "No, I guess not?" she said as she put her waffles in the toaster and went to get herself some Jilberts milk.

"Ok, then." Skie said and sat down at the table to eat her maple syrup drenched waffles.

"The boys up yet?" Ia asked as she got a plate from the dish rack next to the sink.

"Not sure. Didn't go down there yet."

"Mmm. Here that storm last night?" Ia asked as her waffles came up.

"And a very loud swear." she said, eyeing Ia.

"DAMN!" Ia yelled.

"Just like that!" Skie said happily. "Why were you swearing anyway? You're story couldn't have sucked that much?"

Ia gave Skie her signature look of hate mixed with death.

"No. Thunder just woke me from a nice dream. A very nice dream." Ia said quietly after.

"Was it another Cam dream." Skie said irritably.

Ia hesitated. "No."

"Then what was it about?" Skie asked.

"I, uh, can't remember. All I know is that it was a nice dream." Ia said a little shakily.

"Kay." Skie said and left the apartment and went down the stairs.

"Where are you going?" Ia called down the stairs.

"Nowhere!" she called and went out the big brown door in the small entrance hall and out onto the porch. Ia closed the door with her mind as Skie went out in the rain.

Ia took her plate of waffles and went and sat on their big puffy soft-like suede chair with the big arms and watched Live With Regis and Kelly then The Price is Right.

C-O-L-D-D-A-Y-I-N-J-U-L-Y

Half way through The Price is Right, there was a loud knock at the front door.

Ia didn't get up or open the door with her mind, she just yelled, "IT'S OPEN!"

"There's no food down there!" Zac complained loudly as he walked in with Cam.

Ia stared at him from her chair.

"You've been staying down there, what? Two days! And you haven't even realized that theres no food?" Ia shouted.

"How much food you got up here?"

"Sixteen waffles." Ia said as they bolted it to the kitchen. "Blueberry waffles." Ia said, smirking.

Zac came into the living room looking very grim indeed.

"Skie ate the last of hers this morning." Ia said as she put the licked clean plate on the coffee table.

"Where is Skie, anyway?" Zac asked, looking apprehensive.

"She said nowhere." Ia said as she looked at the TV where the guy was bidding. "FOUR! IT'S NUMBER FOUR! YOU IDIOT, FOUR!" Ia screamed suddenly.

Zac looked uncomfortable.

"Looser doesn't know it's four." Ia yelled at Zac.

"Don't go on Price is Right. You'll cheat."

"Oh, you should have picked four." The host who WASN'T Bob Barker said to the man on the TV.

"It's not cheeting. It's just knowing what it is."

"You're not cheeting?" Zac asked slowly.

"I can't read minds through the TV?" Ia yelled as Skie came through the open door.

"SKIE-CHAN!" Zac yelled and jumped up to hug her. Ia stared in disgust and surprise.

"Oh, it's not like you don't do it in public!" Skie said as she sat down on the couch that matched the chair.

"Oh, no. It's not that. I just can't believe you two are going out." Ia said, coming out of her trace.

"We've been going out-" Zac yelled but was interrupted by Ia suddenly going into a giggle fit. Zac continued. "Since Freshman year and you still giggle. You are so immature."

"Who gives a crap if I'm immature? Like J.D. said." Ia said as she got up and went into her bedroom to get dressed.

She came out nearly two seconds later wearing her jeans and red shirt with her Freshman year Swimteam sweatshirt. The one that said Ia on the back. She had on socks now and her hair was in a half-up-half-down. She had a big lock of hair in her face still covering her eye.

She was about to sit in her chair when she found that Zac and Skie had taken it.

"That does suck!" Ia said with a huge note of annoyance in her voice as she quoted Wayne's World. She just sat on the couch.

A-S-L-O-N-G-A-S-Y-O-U-R-M-I-N-E

Ia was at her parents house. She was going to visit her grandparents on her mom's side with them and didn't want to waste her own gas.

"We going yet?" she asked as her little sister, Sarah, walked by. Trying to get something to eat.

"Just a minute." her mom said as she pulled on her shoes.

"When's Ann coming up?"

"Weekend after this." her dad said as he walked in.

"The wedding's up here, right?" Ia asked as she slipped her flipflops back on.

"Yes, of course. Your grandpa couldn't go down to Duluth." her mom said, referring to her grandpa Boosta. Her dad's dad.

"Ah, yes. We need dresses, though." Ia said, referring to the dresses the Bride's Maids had to wear. She was a Bride's Maid. Not the Maid of Honor, though.

"Yes, yes. We know." her mom said as they went out the door.

As always, Ia got the right hand seat in the back. It did have her two stickers from High School on it on that side. Her Band and Swimming stickers. Sarah hated that she always got that side.

After being there for an hour, Ia started getting board with the talking. So she went downstairs to their furnished basement and found Sarah down there shooting the balls on their pool table.

"Want a game, Sarah?" Ia asked, smirking.

"No."

"Why?"

"You always beat me."

"How do you think I feel when I play Ben?" Ia shouted as she grabbed the pool stick she used.

"Fine." Sarah said angrily and exasperated.

Ia set them up and they played. It took Ia a while to realize something.

On the ride home and the walk across the street to her apartment, Ia thought about it.

It wasn't till she got up there and into her bedroom that she realized what it ment.

"I'm in love? With... Sanji?"
