I feel like writing... so much...

"I was lying through my teeth." Ia said to Chey the next day. They were driving in Ia's car towards Ia's house. She had just picked up Chey at the Airport in Sawyer.

"You arn't the best girlfriend." Chey said in a matter-o-factly tone.

"I know that!" Ia snapped and accidentally jerked the wheel a bit and county road 480 was pretty crowded that day.

"Want me to drive?" Chey asked, holding onto the seat for dear life.

"I'm fine!" Ia snapped bitterly.

"Ok. So, why were you lying again?"

"Well..." Ia started and divulged the entire story again.

"I guess you just didn't want to get him all upset, I guess?" Chey said, shrugging.

"Would you lie to your boyfriend."

"Hell no."

"Even if you made out with Sanji behind his back?"

"First of all, I would never go that near to Sanji, and second of all, my boyfriend knows that I love Zoro. He'd be ok with me making out with him." Chey said.

"Would he?" Ia asked, looking at her friend.

"As a matter of fact, he would! We talked about it before." she said.

"Yes, but that's just hypothetically," Ia said with mocking fake cheeriness. "We've talked about it, amazingly, and he said that he'd just get mad but forgive me. I've been reading his thoughts lately-"

"What?" Chey cut in but Ia ignored her.

"And he's doubting that he trusts me! Doubting!" Ia yelled again with emphasis.

"I'd doubt your trust too if I was him."

Ia fixed a her cold stare at Chey and completely forgot about the road.

"Truck." Chey said calmly and Ia jerked the wheel to get on the right side of the road.

Ia gave her a guilty smile.

N-O-G-O-O-D-D-E-E-D

Ia put her keys on the small spindly legged table next to the door as she and Chey came in. Ia was levitating the bags into the corner of the living room.

"Where's Skie?"

"She was asleep when I left, so I don't know what she's doing now?" Ia said and took off her rain jacket and hung her umbrella on the hook on the wall next to the stair landing.

"It's a bit cleaner than the last time I was here."

"Yeah," Ia said flatly. "My older sister came over to visit one day and she straightened up a bit. That was two months ago. We've been able to keep it-" but Ia was cut off by Skie bounding out of the bathroom with wet hair wearing her jeans with the 10/6 markings all over them and her grey sweatshirt. She hugged Chey like a long lost sister.

"Ia didn't wake me up." Skie yelled.

"I tried. You just kept sleeping." Ia said, smirking.

"Chey! You're back!" Skie shouted.

"The Three Amigops are back!" Chey shouted as they did their three part hug and bumped heads. Chey and Skie used their glasses to stab Ia in the face.

F-O-R-I-E-I-G-N-V-I-S-I-T-O-R-S-A-R-R-I-V-E

Later that day, Skie and Chey were in Marquette and Ia decided to stay home. She didn't feel like going out. Even though she never passed up a chance to go shopping. She just sat sideways in the arm chair and typed up her book.

She was alone in the apartment. Something she liked a lot. Total silence where she could blast her iTunes and sing along as loud as she could.

She looked out the window at the pouring rain that was still hitting Negaunee. A car skimmed down Teal Lake Ave, which was right below her apartment.

She turned back to her Dell and kept typing. But her mind kept wandering.

"Crap, I'm never going to finish if I keep being stupid." Ia said as she closed her laptop (after saving her work) and put it on the glass coffee table.

She went into the small kitchen and made herself a sandwich (bologna and cheese with mayo) and went down to the porch.

After a while, her sister and small nephue came across the street.

Sarah and her nephue, Troy, came in and closed the umbrella she had.

"Hey Sarah. Hi, Troy!" she said sweetly to the little boy who held up his arms to be taken by Ia.

"What'cha doing, Livia?" Sarah asked as they walked up to Ia apartment.

"Not much. You? Why is Troy here?"

"Ben's visiting."

"I didn't know that! When did he get here?"

"Last night." Sarah said as they went inside.

"Of course." Ia said and went and sat on the couch with Troy.

Sarah opened up Ia's laptop and went to play The Sims.

L-O-N-G-T-I-M-E-G-O-N-E

A little later, Skie, Chey, Zac, and Cam came into the apartment while Ia was in the kitchen, still holding Troy. He was playing with her half heart necklace.

"Hey, you guys." Ia said, coming into the room.

Chey stared at Troy with wide eyes and shock.

"Is he your son?" she shrieked, her eyes darting back and forth from her and Cam as he stood next to her.

"NO! He's my nephue. Troy."

"Who's son?" Zac asked, looking at the small, brown haired boy with light green eyes.

"My brother's son," Ia muttered, placing the little boy in Chey's arms. "His middle name's after Spider-Man!"

"Peter?"

"Parker." Ia said, a little ashamed of her older brother's obsession with Spider-Man. "I wouldn't be surprised if when they have a daughter, her name would be Mary Jane." Ia said as they moved into the living room. Sarah was still there, playing The Sims. She still had the habit of placing them in the pool, taking away all the ladders and having them die and come back as ghosts.

"Sarah, could you leave?" Ia asked.

"Fine." the 12-year-old said and took Troy and left.

T-H-E-A-M-A-Z-I-N-G-S-P-I-D-E-R-M-A-N

That night, Ia couldn't sleep. She just tossed and turned but couldn't stay asleep. She was suffering from what she called, Chronic MB. Which stood for Mindblockagemia. She didn't want to read, she couldn't write, she was completely annoyed by what was running through her mind. Did she love Sanji or Cam? What would happen if she couldn't decide? What if Cam found out really how the kiss was? What if he never forgave her?

Ia started getting frustrated and got out of bed. She was wearing her blue, scotty dog pajama pants and a bright red tangtop with spaghetti straps. Her hair was up perfectly with the two locks falling in her face framing it the way she liked. She opened her door and went across the entrance room into the kitchen only to find the entire Straw Hat Crew sitting on the floor, asleep.

REAL SHOCKER! No, but still. They would come! Mu ha ha ha ha!

Now, onto business.
