Thank you guys for all your votes!
It has been decided, Avery/Luke will be the main relationship that will happen!
…And that is hinting that there will be another one, but it will be very minor.
Once again, thanks for all the reviews, and PLEASE continue reviewing!
Chapter 3:
JESSIE
Jessie thumbed through the booklet of coupons Mr. James had given to her. They were all for getting discounts on skype psycologist sessions.
The session they had just had was actually kind of helping. For hours, Luke and Jessie had played games at the fair without one argument, or even disagreement.
Ravi ran over and thrusted his cage into Luke's arms, and gripped onto Jessie. He had vanilla icecream all around his lips.
"Hey!" Jessie said, peeling him off her. "The last thing I need are for the flies to get in my pants."
"Jessie! We have to leave now! This is turning into a freakshow!" Ravi yelled.
"Just because Emma's here doesn't mean you have to look at her!" Luke explained.
"Noooo!" Ravi continued. "You have to believe me! Can we please go?"
Luke struggled with Mrs. Kipling's cage. "Geez, has Mrs. Kipling gained weight?" he asked, finally giving in and putting it on the ground.
"Well, we may have been spending the last 30 minutes stuffing our faces with vanilla-nilla ice-cream." Ravi admitted. "At least some good could come out of this bad situation…It was on sale!"
"He's right! We have to get out of here!" Jessie agreed. She turned to Ravi. "When it's on sale, it's gone bad. The recovery process requires several hours in a bathroom. Let's go find Emma and Zuri."
Coincidentally, Emma walked by dubbed in a new trench coat, and a leopard-print fedora. Rosie was with her, carrying a camera and lots of shopping bags.
Jessie grabbed Emma's arm and pulled her over, scaring Emma a bit.
"Where's Zuri? I thought she was with you!" Jessie snapped.
"She was looking especially conspicuous, so I just dropped her off at the costume party while Rosie and I did some very important shopping." She explained.
"The Sherlock Holmes look is in right now!" Rosie added, putting a black fedora on her head.
"Well, go get Zuri!" Jessie ordered. "Ravi's having a meltdown, so we'd better go home now!"
"Okay," Emma said with a sigh. She hurried to go find her sister.
DOG WITH A BLOG
Chloe sat in the back corner of the lame costume party she was at. Well, it wasn't exactly lame, she just couldn't see anything through her mask. And unfortunetly, she didn't let the paper maché sit long enough, so it had dripped and stuck to her tutu's collar.
Someone's foot bumped her leg, and she heard a thump.
"Sorry," she said, and pulled her feet in.
"It's fine," another kid her age replied from the ground. "It's just the kind of day I'm having. At least your head sin't stuck in a mask!"
"…It is." Chloe replied, sulking.
"What are the chances of that? I'm Zuri."
"Hi, Zuri. I'm Chloe. My brother Tyler dumped me off here so he could go chase after some girl. He's not that smart."
"Really?" Zuri asked. "My sister Emma promised to take me to see the alligators, but she left me here so she could go shopping. She's not smart, either."
Chloe noticed that she and Zuri pretty much had the same lives, and were stuck in the same situation. She wondered if Zuri had just moved in with a new mom and had a pet, also.
"Do you have a talking dog, too?" Chloe asked.
"…No, but we have a belching lizard!...You have a talking dog?"
"Who-who said anything about a talking dog-YOU brought it up first!" Chloe blurted. "…Hey, wouldn't it be cool if we…you know, switched lives? It would be cool to have a burping lizard!"
"Switching lives? That only happens in the movies!...And occasionally TV shows!" Zuri said. "Well, it was nice seeing-uh-hearing you, Chloe, but I'm gonna go find the alligators, or this whole trip to the fair would have been useless!"
"Lemme go with you!" Cloe said. "Zuri!" she called, trying to follow her new friend's footsteps. But soon they got lost in the low murmur of the crowd.
Then, someone grabbed her arm and yanked her away.
"STRANGER DANGER! STRANGER DANGER!" she yelled. The person stopped pulling.
"Relax, Zuri!" It's just me, Emma!" the person who was pullling her said, then continued dragging Chloe.
"Zuri? Emma?" Chloe said to herself. "Hey! You're the one who's not smart!" she said to Emma.
"Um, I CAN STILL HEAR YOU!" Emma snapped. "Ravi's having a chrisis, so Jessie ordered me to get you. We need to go to the penthouse immediately. And we need to cut that hideous mask off of you."
"NO!" Chloe protested. "Bury me in this mask! It's my own original work!"
"Whatever, Zuri."
"I'm not Zuri! Now lemme go! I will call the police! 8-1-1!" Chloe continued.
"It's 9-1-1! And the only police officer we have in Central Park arrested someone on theft charges for taking a free sample!" Emma explained.
Chloe laughed and pointed at Emma. "That's funny!" But then she resisted Emma's grip on her arm. "Now let me go!"
"Tony! HELP ME!" Emma groaned.
Someone (Chloe assumed it was Tony) picked her up as she was screaming.
"What does she want this time?" he asked.
"I don't know!" Emma replied hopelessly. "She didn't want to leave the fair, and she keeps saying she's not Zuri!" she gasped. "I've heard of tantrum level 7, but maybe this is level 8!"
