Fanfreddyfic: Even I heard that!
Mangle6 (author): Yeah I also think Las Vegas heard that and called to complain!
Lolbitgaming: I feel bad for them...Not Pristine though...
Mangle6 (author): I have a feeling every single reader would agree with you.
Marionetty: Right, I'm back from the other story! So not blackmailed... Some sort of curse or something? Death threats (Oh wait that's still blackmail isn't it)?
Mangle6 (author): Nope! It's a lot worse then that!
Marionetty: Also, Oh no... Poor... Everyone, really. 'Cept Pristine, she deserved it.
Mangle6 (author): Hey funny thing! Guest, Lolbitgaming, said that sane thing!
Marionetty: Out of curiosity, is everyone going to find out about Mikey's little 'Secret' in this story? Or is that going to be a story on it's own?
Mangle6 (author): Nope I'll happen in a different story! But Mike will tell one person his secret. Guess away!

Nat was chewing on his bottom lip as he clutched his stomach feeling as if he was going to throw up. Amber glared at Pristine and Royal while Mike simply crossed his arms and looked away from the two.
"I can't believe I have to work with you three losers!" Pristine said,
"I can't believe we have to work with Spoiledzilla and her partner Roshi!" Amber said.
"Good one! Where'd you get that insult? The one-hundred-n' one dumb comebacks book!" Royal said,
"Uhh….guys?" Mike said.
"WHAT!?" Both Amber and Pristine snapped, Mike jumped a took a few steps back from the girls.
"Uhh….Nat's not here." Royal said, and the two girls rolled around and saw that Nat was gone.

Nat had ran back home and as soon as he got into his mother's house he closed and locked the door.
"MOM!" Nat said, running blindly for the kitchen knowing that his mom was in there. Ember ran out the kitchen and picked up Nat as the bot ran into her arms. The single mother looked shocked yet concerned as she walked over to the living room couch and sat Nat in her lap. Nat had started crying into his mother's chest as he hugged her for dear life.
"Nat what's wrong?" Ember said, Nat sniffed and looked his mother in the eye's.
"It's horrible! We have this project……fo-for school! A-And its involves having to have re-read a bo-book! A-And now m-me, Amber, and Mike ha-have to work with Royal and Pri-Pristine!" Nat stammered before breaking down sobbing. Ember's eyes widened, this definitely wasn't good and she had been secretly hoped that this wouldn't happen to her son.
"Nat, it's alright. Do you want some chocolate chip snickerdoodles? I still have a plate full left and we can talk about how to fix this. How does that sound?" Ember said, Nat sniffed and looked up at his mom with a dopey grin.
"I-I'd like that." Nat said, as he took his backpack off and set it on the couch.
"But first thing after we're getting your homework done." Ember said, Nat withered slightly but nodded. Suddenly though a bang was heard from the door, and Nat's eyes glossed over as he knew who was at the door.
"Help me!" Nat said, grabbing the collar of his mother's shirt. Ember put a hand on Nat's shoulder,
"Go upstairs, lock your room, and don't come down until I say." Ember said. Nat quickly nodded and ran upstairs as fast as his legs could take him. Ember waited until she heard a lock before she walked to the door and opened it. Amber, Mike, Royal, and Pristine came in each of them having the same objective: find Nat.
"Hey y'all!" Ember said,
"Where's Nat!? That idiotic son of yours ran off! We know he's here!" Pristine demanded. Ember glared down at the girl, luckily Royal pulled her "friend" back.
"I'm sorry for her." Royal said,
"Yeah, it's just that we need Nat and the grade is worth fifty percent of our grades! If we don't turn in this project we all get a zero and the day I get anything bellow an A is the day I die!" Mike said as her wore a serious expression on his face.
"Plus it's not like Nat to just run off. What's going on?" Amber impatiently said,
"Oh well Nat's just…..cleaning his room! I'll take him a while so y'all should really just plan out the essay without him!" Ember said.
"But—" All the kid's tried to say, but Ember interrupted.
"Sorry Nat's as busy as bee. But I have a plate of chocolate chip snickerdoodles. Y'all can each that five home with ya if ya want." Ember said,
"Deal!" All the kids said, immediately perking up at the thought of cookies. And Ember shook her head as she chuckled. Works every time.
Ember waved goodbye to the kids, and once she was sure they were out of ear shot she let out a sigh of relief. She then shut the door and locked it,
"Nat! Y'all can come down!" Ember said. And in a split second Nat came barreling down the stairs and jumped into her arms. Nat cried into his mom's shoulder,
"Thank you. Thank you. Thank you!" He said. And Ember pat him on the back, trying her best to comfort her son.

A young Ember, looking to be in her early twenties, sat on the couch next to a muscular black man. Who had an arm wrapped around her, the man wore an orange shirt and a pair of brown shorts. The man had bright maple syrup brown hair, he had emerald green eyes as he looked over to Ember who had a bit of a belly. Finally the man loosely wore a straw hat on his head as he had a calm grin on his face.
"I can't wait for a baby boy." He said,
"Well we still got seven months so you'll have to wait a bit." Ember said jokingly, as she patted her stomach wondering what their boy would be like.
