Ugh. Now I'm regretting skipping to the plane. Oh well.

I had this chapter in the older version, and I couldn't help but put it back in. It's gonna be long, but I don't see the point of breaking it up.

DISCLAIMER: I don't own KK. Or candy brands. Or New York. *whispers* Someday… ALSO: There's something that happens in this chapter that couldn't happen today. Like, October 11, 2012. And tomorw. And the next day. Keep going on. Let's pretend it can. If you need me to clarify what it is, shoot me a PM. But read the story first.

N-Y-K-K! Chapter 3

The bright lights blinding her, she stood there, taking in just about everything she could.

"Whoa."

She shared the smile with her friends. They too were looking up, up, up, until they couldn't look up anymore.

"These skyscrapers are…tall." Finn added, not knowing how to describe it any other way.

"Uh, yeah," Amanda said, wondering just how exactly she would move them.

"I'm just waiting for some explosion and a flash of green," Willa said.

"That won't happen. Not on my birthday."

"Don't jinx it," Willa added, grinning at Amanda.

Ok, Amanda thought. So New York City is way better than I expected it!

Amanda's eyes scanned everything, each sight a new surprise.

"Ooh!" she pointed to a blue poster. "How to Succeed In Business Without Really Trying! With Daniel Radcliffe!"

"That's cool." Finn replied.

"I'm hungry," Charlene said, still looking up.

Finn lowered his head, directing this toward Amanda.

"I've heard of this really good place for lunch," he said.

"Really?" Amanda asked.

"Yep. It's in Times Square, so we just need to walk a little bit. You guys in?" He asked, seeing the nods.

"Sure."

"Alright. Follow me," he waved them over, and guided them through the crowded mass of people.


"This…is…BOSS!" Maybeck exclaimed, not able to hear himself over the chatter.

"M&Ms…EVERYWHERE!"

The music was blasting, but the Keepers cold barely hear it, because the M&M store was jammed. Like, really jammed.

"Split up?" Amanda suggested, ready to bolt for the almond M&Ms section.

"Sure. Wanna count to celebrate the occasion?"

"Alright." Jess said. "One…two…CHOCOLATE!"

And all seven of them darted from the entrance, covering every single corner of the store.

Amanda and Jess stopped immediately in front of a huge M&Ms.

"WHAT?" Jess exclaimed, looking at her only pointed to the adjacent wall, which had more tubes of M&Ms.

A sign in front of them read "Grab a bag. Pull the handle to fill the bag with M&Ms and weigh the contents at the cash register. Have fun!"

Amanda looked in her pocket to find twenty bucks that she stuffed in there before she left.

"Shall we?" she looked at Jess happily.


"Manda!" Finn waved her over next to the elevator.

"OMG, that was awesome," she laughed, holding an once-filled bag of M&Ms.

There were no survivors.

"You like lunch?" he asked her, and she replied with stuffing her face even more with dark chocolate M&Ms.

The empty elevator opened, and the Keepers piled in, Amanda hearing things like "Move!" and "You stepped on my toe!"

She knew they could easily take two trips, but being with six other teens in a tiny elevator is way more enjoyable.

"Fun?" Jess asked her, laughing, clutching her Green M&M plush nodded gratefully.

"Next stop, for dessert..." Finn said, "HERSHEY STORE!"

Bleh. Unneeded scene. I was trying to drag the beginning out, but its not proving useful. I'll just cut to the important scenes next week. It'll make all of our lives easier. If this story will be anything, It'll be fast.

PS- And it really wasn't that long.
