AUTHOR'S NOTE:
Cha-cha-cha-chapterrrrrrrr twooooooooooo!!!!! WOO! =))
First off, I wanna thank you guys sooooo much for your reviews, especially Lucy/Can't-Live-Without-Twilight, and Casey/k-shee. You guys were the first two, respectively. :P
Secondly, this whole fic will be in Jade's POV... Unless stated otherwise. :P
Thirdly, thanks again to my beta-ful (beta-ful, like, beautiful? Get it? HAHAHA! Uhh... Never mind. :P) beta/sister/assistant/partner-in-crime, Nikki/IndieAyer! \:D/
Soo, anyways... ON TO THE CHAPTER!
LAST TIME...
"Hey, Jade?" He asked, sounding like he had an idea.
"Yeah, Joe?" I replied, snapping out of it, too, and turning to him.
He leaned forward to me, his face only inches from mine.
My heart stopped beating and my lungs were incapable of helping me breathe.
His lips neared my ear and he whispered... "Race you to the ride."
And he ran away.
I soon recovered from the hypnosis-like state I was in because of the closeness of his face and mine. "H-hey!" I said, breathing again. "Wait up!" And I ran after him.
As I was running, I could've sworn I heard Nick and Kevin say, "This is gonna be an interesting day."
I was running as fast as I could to the ride, even if I knew it would take a miracle to beat Joe there. He was a pretty good runner, and he started first.
After much running, panting, and tripping, I was finally there... And so was Joe, leaning casually against a bar, waiting for the line to move faster. He faked a yawn, then smirked at me.
Oh, gosh, he looks so ho—
"I won." He said obnoxiously. Good thing he stopped me from saying it in my head—like I needed a reminder.
"No... fair." I said in between pants. "You started first." I stated breathlessly as I sat down beside him, against the bar, and trying to breathe.
He bent down beside me with concern touching his face and covering his tone. "Hey, are you okay?"
He's so sweet!
UGH! Jade, stop it!
"I'm fine." I replied as I turned to face him. I tried to sound firm, but it came out more like a breathless whisper.
He wasn't convinced, obviously, because his eyebrow twitched up.
"Okay, okay, so maybe I fell down a few times..." I looked down, embarrassed, and saw dirt on his jeans. "And, apparently, so did you." I said, pointing to the dirt.
He rolled his eyes and dusted the dirt off his pants.
"Hey, guys." Nick said. Okay, they caught up and didn't even have to run for it! Ugh.
Kevin looked at Joe, then at me, and said with a smirk, "Fall again?"
"Naw..." Joe said, shaking his head and his hands folding across his chest.
"Psssshhhh..." I said, waving my hand dismissively.
Nick rolled his eyes. "Whatever."
I folded my arms across my chest and looked around. I noticed a tall, familiar looking girl with long, wavy brown hair...
"Oh my gosh..." I said, standing up, realizing who it was.
"What?" Joe asked, turning his head as the other two did.
"Hey, isn't that—" Nick started, but I cut him off.
"CASEEEEEEEEEEEYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!" I screamed, running to my best friend. She turned around, her eyes wide, and her mouth in the shape of an 'O'.
"Oh my gosh, Jade?!" She said. She hugged me and we jumped up and down a few times.
"Is Marxx here?" I asked, referring to my other best friend who was part of our group.
"JADE?!" I spun around to see a short, black-haired girl. "HI!!!"
"MARXX!!!" I screamed, and we did a replay of what I did to Casey.
After all our screaming, jumping, and hugging were over, I said, "I missed you guys so much! What are you doing here?!"
"We decided to go somewhere and hang out today, instead of just staying bored at home." Marxx explained.
"Plus, it reminded us of you." Casey said. Did I have the greatest friends or what?!
"Aww, you guys are the best friends ever!" I gushed, hugging them both, again.
"Ahem." I heard Joe say. Did I forget they were there? Whoops.
"And speaking of best friends," I said, turning around. "Casey and Marxx, you remember my best boy space friends, Nick, Joe, and Kevin." I motioned to each of them with my hand. "Nick, Joe, and Kevin, you remember my best girl space friends, Casey and Marxx."
"Of course." Joe opened his arms for a hug.
"Nice to see you again." Kevin extended his hand.
"Hey." Nick smiled.
"What's up?" Casey asked, hugging Joe.
"Yo." Marxx shook Kevin's hand.
When the hugs and shaking hands were over, I realized so much time had passed. We were at the front of the line.
"Hey, look! With all of this," Marxx motioned with her hand. "We managed to pass the time." Best friends think alike.
"Okay, guys, grab your partn—" I started to say before Joe grabbed me. "OW! Joe, not literally!"
"Sorry." He chuckled.
Oh, why did he have to be so cute?!
JADE!!! STOP IT!
Who said that?
Me. I'm your alter-ego in your head that you talk to. Call me Dani.
Oh... Hi, Dani... You try and stop it. It ain't that easy!
I know, but that's what I do. I'm the contradiction to you.
WHAT?!
Oh, great. Now I'm talking to myself.
"WE'RE GETTING THE FRONT CART!" Joe shouted to the others, holding my hand.
OH MY GOD, I AM HOLDING JOE FREAKING JONAS' HAND.
He pulled. He wants me to run? AGAIN? Oh, well.
"Um, YEAH! SEE YA!" I shouted, too, running with Joe inside.
I'm holding his haaand, I'm holding his haaand...
SHUT UP!!!
Sorry.
THERE I GO AGAIN!... Or, there Dani goes again...?
"They dating yet?" I heard Casey ask, breaking my conversation with myself.
"Nope." Nick answered.
"Still too stubborn?" Marxx asked, too.
"Yeah." Kevin said.
I AM NOT STUBBORN!
Yes, you are.
No, I'm not.
Yes, you are.
Stop talking to me!
Stop talking to yourself!
I sighed inwardly. I gotta stop doing that... But wait... They? As in, me and Joe? Joe and I?
I like the sound of that...
No, you don't.
I sighed inwardly again.
Dani, could you please stop talking for a while?
Fine. But remember: I'll always be here for some psychological conflict!... PSYCHO!
Did you just call me a psycho?!
*silence*
DANI, I AM THE MAIN EGO HERE AND YOU SHALL ANSWER ME WHEN I SAY SO!
*crickets chirp*
AGH. Never mind. Maybe I am a psycho. I mean, look, I'm talking to myself.
"Jade?" Joe asked. FINALLY, ANOTHER VOICE! "Did you hear me?"
"Huh, what? Sorry, I must've spaced out."
"That's okay." He laughed. Oh, Lord, help me. "I was saying we should sit down now."
"Oh." Was my brilliant answer. "Okay."
He laughed again. Why does he have to be so cute?
Oh, great. My inner fangirl is coming out.
"GUYS, HURRRY UP!" Joe called out.
"Um, yeah! IT'S ABOUT TO START MOVING! WE WILL LEAVE YOU IN HYPERSPEED!!!" Okay, I think I'm hyper now.
"Whoa, guys, chill." Nick said, entering with Kevin.
"Yeah, we're sitting down now..." Kevin said, going into cart #3.
"And so are we." Casey came in with Marxx, going into cart #2.
Someone else came in. He was fat and balding... I guess he was the ride mechanic person. –A/N: No offense to anyone! My beta suggested it. :P-
"Are you guys ready?" The ride mechanic said drowsily... But I wasn't gonna let him spoil my mood.
"YEAH!!!" Joe and I said, our voices full of with excitement.
"Okay." He said lazily.
He pushed down the metal bar seatbelts in our carts so we wouldn't fall off, then walked back to his ride control system thingy.
"Enjoy your ride. 3... 2... 1... Blast off." He said in a bored tone.
"WOOOOOOO!!!" Joe and I said together, raising our hands up when we felt the ride moving. I heard laughs behind us, but I didn't care 'cause I was finally on the ride with Joe.
AUTHOR'S NOTE:
Don't worry, the next one will be up soon... VERY, VERY SOON.
Just make sure you review... Or else it'll be later than usual... BUM BUM BUM BUUUUUM!!! =))
Peace out, girl scout!
