One curious day, when everyone thought it was a normal and unusually sunny day, chaos was released in a flurry of confusion. She stared long and hard at his status and spewed out the water she was drinking (luckily not towards the computer) "Justin's quitting!?" In denial, she reread the status ten times over and still couldn't believe it. Outraged by the turn of the events she went to whisper him.

To her surprise however, Justin beat her to the chase. She received the whisper, "Cindy... I'm quitting."

"No kidding!?" she screamed. "How could you just... just... just quit like that Justin?"

"That's easy. Today I decided I had nothing else to do here, and wanted to quit," he explained.

Cindy hated how Justin was not bothered by his decision, not at all wavering or worrying about it. It seemed like he was adamant on this, and that's what she hated the most. "You can't be serious!" still in disbelief, she didn't want to admit it, but Justin was a part of her life whether she liked it or not.

The girl spotted him, and she marched over to Justin, ready to fire questions at him. "JUSTIN! Explain your status NOW!"

"Hey Lucie. I don't even get a hi or hello... or any greeting?" he asked, slightly avoiding the question.

"Hi Justin. Now explain to me. I mean... how could you?" echoing Cindy's response. Lucie was his ex-girlfriend, but their relationship wasn't incredibly intimate.

He stopped to think, he was thinking for the best way to explain to her why he was doing this so suddenly. The Justin started spilling out his reasons, "You see Lucie, for a while now I've been talking to Cecy. All the time she's been telling me that she wanted more people to visit the website. I feel the same. During these past few weeks, I've trusted her with some of my most important secrets, secrets I would barely utter to anyone else if I didn't consider them trustworthy enough."

"...what?" she interrupted, he was saying too much too fast and she couldn't get what he was trying to tell her. It hadn't occurred to Lucie that he was giving her pieces of the puzzles that would emerge as the answer she needed.

Justin sighed again, but continued, "Anyways, I want to help her. I'm quitting because I want to help her."

Lucie tried to process it in her head again, "Okay... first of all who is Cecy? Second of all, how would quitting help her? Third of all, what website? Lastly, what's with the secrets? I don't know how all of these are supposed to add up," she cried.

Ignoring all of her questions he decided to ask her one. "Lucie... do you know what SPiLF is?"

"Is it the thing hovering above my head?"

"... do you know what it means?" he tried again.

"Nope... do you?"

"Yes..." he wasn't surprised, but still disappointed. "Lucie, this is partly why I'm quitting. Lately, we've been getting a lot of new members in the family, but no one knows about the website or the Youtube account or... all of it!"

Lucie was getting confused by the minute and wanted to ask Cindy for help, but it seemed like she wasn't really there at the moment. "Wait, what website are you talking about? And what does SPiLF stand for?" It was hopeless, but she pestered him with the question again.

"To answer your first question, .com/sheepinlawciousfamily or .com/penguinlawciousfamily. And as for your second question, I'll let you figure out when you visit the websites because I practically gave you the answer to that," still mystifying her with every word he said. He continued rambling on about the many other reasons he had for his actions. Finally noticing the effect of this he decided to stop bombarding her with things she couldn't fathom, "I'll... stop now."

"Thank you," she managed weakly. Her head started to hurt from all the thinking. Especially the part where she had to think about what she didn't know.

Before he left her dazed in the lobby, he muttered some final words, "Try to know about your family will you? It's all up to you to make the right choice." With that said, he wandered around a little more before he left for good.

It wasn't even funny or sad or... adjective anymore. Lucie was in deep trouble. She knew, she knew that he had told her just about everything she needed to know about why he was leaving and even more. But the pieces didn't fit together, she calculated every possibility and it didn't work. She had finally decided to seek guidance from anyone who was on (people from the family of course.) "Troy..."

He heard a familiar voice, turning around, he saw her running towards him with tears on his face. He was indeed baffled. "Lu... cie?"

"Troy! Justin quit, Justin quit, Justin quit!" she repeated two more times just for good measure. "And I don't get anything he told me! Well... besides the 'I quit' part, but... I don't get it!" she whined.

"Justin's quitting? He's quitting Audi?" Yet again, the third person to be caught in the bandwagon of denial. Troy immediately checked his messenger and there it was, Justin's status had clearly said: I guess I'm going to quit Audi now. "Tell me what he told you," he asked sternly.

Lucie tried to explaining, but it only made matters worse because Troy could barely understand. "I'm sorry, but I don't know what he told me!" she cried hopelessly.

"I figured..." he sighed, that didn't quite work as well as it should have.

Within a period of a few days, the news got out like... very slow wildfire: Justin was quitting. He continued to be as mysterious as possible giving out vague clues as to his purpose. When anyone had a breakthrough, upon hearing Justin's melancholy response they soon fell back into a flurry of ideas.

"I just can't figured this out!" Yodi complained, "Ever since Troy told me about it, I can't get it out of my mind! It's a really fun puzzle, but I'm not getting any farther than before.

Michelle bonked her head on the table alongside Yodi. "Justin... is stressing out the whole family! I can't believe he would say such a thing after Danny, Bryan and Ken said they'd quit."

"Hey! At least Bryan didn't really quit yet. There's so much drama in this family, ugh... it's almost sickening isn't it Michi-mi?"

Vy walked over to see a couple of strange kids and another one listening to music while drawing on a piece of paper. "It seems like not everyone in the family is quite worried about it after all," she remarked.

The girl leaning against the wall with her legs crossed removed her headphones with a questionable look. "Huh?"

"Well, that's just how Tran is," Yodi said.

"Tran, why are you so... oblivious to the situation right now!?" Michelle shouted.

She thought about it and responded, "I'm not the only one not freaking out. Take a look at my brother and Jennifer."

"You're not answering my question..."

"He has a reason, and if he wanted to stay, then he would stay or one day come back. That belief I hold true to most people. However... if he left for a stupid reason, then I'd be complaining to no end... perhaps," Tran concluded.

Another girl walked in, Yodi and Michelle recognized her immediately and cried out, "Jennifer!"

"Hi..." Jennifer greeted back still in surprise. "What's going on?"

"Justin," Vy answered for the two depressed children.

She rolled her eyes, "Go figure. Well... time to turn him into a hippie!" Jennifer evilly skipped away leaving everyone in awe.

"I think what Jennifer means..." David stepped in from nowhere, "...is that you guys should probably ask Lucie about it. He did tell her after all, whether or not she understood what he said."

Yodi, Michelle, Cecy and Tran sighed consecutively. "Tell us something we don't know."

Even with the whole family in distress, Justin still kept in touch with a few of the family members; that includes Lucie.

Lucie felt a thousand pokes from behind and turned around angrily. Soon her anger disappeared when she saw him. "Justin... what are you doing here? I thought you were in S4, didn't you quit?"

He crossed his arms and shrugged, "I'm just here secretly. Don't tell anyone okay? Besides, I haven't quit yet; what? You want me to quit Lucie?"

She covered her mouth with her hands and replied hastily, "No no no no no! Don't quit please! Justin, tell me again, I don't get anything you've told me."

"No."

"Please!"

"No," he repeated reluctantly, "I've helped you guys too much now. So if you guys can't figure it out; then our family must be stupider than I thought."

Lucie was tired of his attitude, "Justin! You don't know what you're doing! You don't know how much your friends and family in Audi will miss you. You don't know how much you'll be missing out on here. You don't know how much you actually love this place. And... you don't know how much you mean to the people who come here just for you. You're so stuck up on calling other people stupid, that you fail to realize how stupid you are! Justin, you're a big fat idiot, and I... I... hate you!"

Justin's eyes were open now, but it's not like he had a brain blast. He was just a little surprised at her reaction to his attempt at quitting. "Lucie, I am not... First of all, I am not stupid. Second of all, I'm not an idiot. Third of all, I-"

"...don't like me," she said quietly under her breath.

"What...?"

Lucie turned her back on him and repeated, "You don't like me either... that's right." By unforeseen events she slapped herself on the cheek as hard as she could, but it didn't seem to hurt at all.

"Wait, I wasn't going to say that," he reassured.

"What else were you going to say!?" Lucie retorted, "Like you're actually playing a bluff on us? Like you normally act like that? Like you actually do like me somehow!?"

"Lucie I..." he started again.

She spun around expectantly. So many people were in distress about this boy, but it was her who was in the middle of it all. He made her the central target of the situation. Did that mean anything? Could it have had a special meaning to it or was it just coincidental? There were so many possibilities and Lucie didn't want to think about it anymore. Thinking about it drove her close to actual tears. All her memories of them killed her inside. He wasn't the type to stay with someone very long; he was being considerate by not rejecting her request.

"I didn't have anything to say."

Anger flooded her veins as she screamed, "YOU DIDN'T HAVE ANYTHING TO SAY? You are stupid! I thought... I thought wrong about you! You were just acting nice, I know that much, but... I'm so sick... so sick and tired of you and your charity! Leave me OUT of this, please. Don't get me involved if you didn't have anything to say." Lucie tried to look at him, but her eyes and tears wandered off at the hand he held out.

Justin didn't normally do this, but she was still his friend in a perspective. Ex-couple or not, if he hadn't any interest in her then they would have never been together at all. He emphasized his hand's presence again. She took a hold of it, and he led them to a nearby bench. He sat them down and was about to let go until she regrasped it. "Can we... err..." She looked their adjoined hands earnestly.

"Whatever," he said reluctantly; as if that wasn't the only thing he was going to say. The two didn't look at each other once during this time, but it wasn't... bad. A couple hours later, who knows what they did, Justin glanced at his cellphone and noticed the time. "It's getting late, sorry."

"No need," she replied letting go of his hand, only to latch onto his arm one last time. He had barely begun to stand up when Lucie asked him, "You're not quitting right?"

"Tch, what do you think?" With that he left for home.

Justin&Lucie

Typer's Note -
Woo friendship FF (at least that's what I'd like to believe...) Yes, I know it's boring, and I pretty much made up the whole plot. The only thing true was what it was based off of. Enjoy perhaps? Can't force you... I listened to Milky Way by BoA for the majority of this FF; happy song indeed. -Tran
