Thanks for the reviews! Seriously, I appreciate it. And not ONE FLAME! I was expecting at least one, and I didn't get any! That just made me giddy.

To the anonymus person: Yes, that was intentional.

I wasn't planning on updating this fast, but it's snowing where I live. And I mean it's coming down hard.

My friends totally just went 'That's what she said!!!!' when they read that last sentence.

Anyways, the clouds are being mofos and thought it would be funny to freeze up and ruin everyones plans by snowing us in and all. The good news, I probaly won't have school tomorrow.

You know what I find funny? When someone puts 'I suck at summaries' into their summary. I mean, if you really do suck at summaries, we can probaly tell.

I really just don't know where I'm going with this chapter. Going in blind, so to speak...

We were about five minutes into our walk back to Anne's (notice I didn't say 'back home') when my back went stiff and the hairs on the back of my neck stood straight up. I kept walking, trying to tune out Nudge talking about . . .something and tried to focus on the noise behind me. My mind went through ways to lose a person on this road if somebody were following us. Fang noticed my unease and stayed alert too. Someone was 20-30 yards behind us.

I heard what sounded like the crunch of an apple, and then they started talking.

"Now that I know you eat them loudly just for me, you can stop it."

"But it's like a habit know."

Ash sighed, "Of course it is. That doesn't mean you can't stop when I point it out."

"Watch out, Dani, she might hire someone to sniper you while your going down the stairs," Jay warned.

I could barely hear Ash's confused "Huh?" over Dani's laughter.

"Who are these people?" Fang muttered beside me.

"Dani, where did you get that apple anyways?" Ash asked after Dani quieted down.

. . .Silence. . .

. . .Silence. . .

"Aww, come on, Ash! Why'd you have to bring that up? I have no idea where I got the damn apple, all I know is it's delicious and I was enjoying it. Now that I know I don't know where I got it, I know it could be poisoned. If I didn't know it was possibly poisoned, I could have died blissfully unaware and happy because I was eating my scrumptious, contaminated apple and pissing you off while doing it. Now I gotta waste half of possibly the world's 59th most perfect apple. You're such a party-pooper."

"You're right. It's all my fault," Ash said. Her sarcasm practically ran me over.

"Hey, is that Max up there?" Dani said. Crap, they noticed us.

I heard the sound of jogging feet and then Dani was right beside me. Night, Jay, and Ash were just kinda tagging along. Still walking, but a little faster.

Fang's eyebrows rose like, an inch when he looked at me like, "You know these people?"

Dani smiled, "Hey, Max!" Her smile wavered into a kind of confused politeness when she looked around and saw who I was walking with.

"Um, this is my family. Nick, Jeff, Krystal, Zephyr, and Ariel."

Her smile returned. "Oh, hi! I'm Dani. And that's Jay, Night, and Ash." She said, pointing to the now-caught-up people.

Now that I got to see them together and compare them, Ash and Fang really did look a lot alike. The resemblence was uncanny.

However, I only got to compare them for a second, because when Jay and Night stopped, Ash kept right on going. She would have walked right past us, except Dani deliberately stuck out her foot and tripped her. Ash stumbled, but there was something weird about her movements. Like, she didn't have to trip, but why she would fake it was a mystery to me. I glanced at Fang. He had noticed it, too.

Ash went to keep walking, but Dani kept tripping her. And again with the intentional movements. I mean, the flock like to trip eachother as a joke so I know what someone looks like when they trip. There was just something . . .not right about it.

"Would you quit tripping me!" Ash finally burst out. "I wanna get home. I'm hungry, I wanna get out of this stupid uniform, and I gotta pee."

Jay went over to the bushes, unzipped, and started to pee in the woods. Facing away from us, of course. Dani was laughing, and Ash looked ready to kill somebody. When he was done, he said "Ahhhhhhhhh" and then walked over to us, smirking at Ash the whole way.

"Say the magic word," Dani practically sang.

Ash rolled her eyes. "Please," she said through clenched teeth.

"Nope."

"What? Please is the magic word! Please is always the magic word!"

"Oh, come on. Please is not the magic word. You ever heard of a mythical creature named a please? The magical town of Please? Please is not a magic word."

"I still don't see how this helps the urine exit my bladder."

"And that, my friends, is what we call a WTF face," Jay said, pointing to Ash.

"Abracadabra," Ash said.

"Who do you think I am, Houdini?" Dani responded.

"It's Leprechaun," Night said. Wow, that was the first time I'd heard him talk.

"What?" Ash asked.

"It's Leprechaun. She wouldn't let me into the fridge yesterday for an hour. I had to run through all the mythical creatures I knew."

"Leprechaun," Ash said to Dani.

Dani turned to Night. "Night! Do you know how long I could have kept that up! We might have gotten to see her pee herself!"

"You kept me out of the fridge for an hour. That's a no-no."

"Bye," Ash said, then turned away.

"Wait! Ash, you little faggot, get back here!" Dani yelled.

Jay turned to us, "Guess we'll be going. Gotta go make sure the girls don't kill eachother and Ash doesn't piss all over Dani while doing so. See ya." Him and Night started to walk away.

Fang looked at me.

"You have really weird friends," he said.

And we started on our way to Anne's again.

You would not believe what was waiting for me there. Well, this is my life, so maybe you would. But it still sucked.

Ohhhhhhh, cliffy. I'll update soon. You, know as soon as I figure out what was waiting back at Anne's . . . It was short, I know and apologize.

And I don't know if you read my A/N at the beginning of the chapter, but writing the word giddy made me think of the word giddy. If that makes any sense. Giddy is like my, what, 6th favorite word? I use it constantly. So I thought, what's the dictionary definition of giddy?

Now, I have 3 dictionaries in my house. The first 2, giddy wasn't even in them! I was like WTF!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?! I almost didn't look in the 3rd one. But I did. And it was in there!!!!!! Third time is the charm!! I shall now give you the definition of giddy.

giddy (gid-ee) adjective: If you feel giddy, you feel dizzy and unsteady, either because you are ill or because you are excited,giddier, giddiest noun giddiness adverb giddily

The only thing that bothered me, was the fact that over half the other definitions in the dictionary I was using had sentence examples. Like gift, which was right under it. Vincent has a gift for painting. My first thought was, 'How much you wanna bet this Vincent guy is gay?' but my second one was, 'Why the Fnick do they not have one for giddy?!'

So, I took the liberty of making one for you.

Vincent giddily enjoyed his hotdog.

. . . Hehe.

I looked back on that sentence and considered making it less perverted, like Vincent giddily enjoyed painting, or maybe I could rest my case about this guy being gay and say Vincent giddily enjoyed watching the opera in his pink button-down shirt with the most adorable man-purse as the perfect accessory, which perfectly accented his impossibly tan skin and dark, Nick Jonas style hair cut. Then I was like . . . "Pshh, nah. It's perfect."

And that is my fun-fact for the day. So you do learn something from me.

FYI:I have nothing against homosexuals. Two of my best friends are gay. And, just because you have a gift for painting does not mean I think your gay. It was the name Vincent and painting together that tipped me off.

So, R&R!

Come back next time!

Stay tuned!

Keep in touch!

Don't be a stranger!

Ta-ta!

Bonjour!
