January 6

Suck, suck, suck. My dad has been out of town for four flipping days! And in two days I go back to school. Not that i mind school, but it totally leaves less time for my plan. But, you can't hold a Davis-Corinthos down for long. So, I will adapt. Today I am going clothes shopping with Lulu; she is Luke's daughter, and my cousin Nikolas' sister...I am excited because Lulu is way cool, and gives great fashion advice!

January 6, 7:00 pm

Can I tell you how much I like shopping? I know I am so blessed that my dad just hands over a credit card when I need stuff...and I think I bought enough clothes to last me a couple of years, but my daddy insisted...so why not. Anyway, Lulu came and picked me up. There is something weird because she was driving Dillon Quartermaine's car. I know they have history...Lulu was pregnant with Dillon's baby like a billion years ago, but they were young and she got an abortion. Somehow her and Dillon stayed friends...Dillon is with Georgie Jones, sometimes...they seem to break up bi-monthly...but Lulu is always there..they are like inseparable. I wonder if that is what my parents were like back in the day...always going through the motions with someone else, but falling on each other...which reminds me of Lulu calling me a romantic.

Flashback

"Alright so how was Operation Parentals" she asked as I thumbed through some turtlenecks.

I gasped as my jaw hit the floor and she laughed, "Please, Michael is my cousin, and I accidentally got him to spill; oh this color will look awesome with your chocolate hair" she says handing me a maroon one.

"Michael has a big mouth" I say holding the shirt up against me...she was right it does look great with my dark hair.

She nods throwing it into the cloth shopping bag with the rest of my purchases, "well yeah, but how did it go anyway"

I laugh and roll my eyes, "Better than I could have imagined" I gush.

"They danced, they kiss, and ewwwww but they were in my dad's room alone together...and my mom came out wearing his shirt" I exclaim practically squealing.

"So what are you going to do now" she asked.

That's when I let out the big sigh, "I'm stuck now. My dad is out of town...but when he was here they were normal...like Puerto Rico never happened. I just...ugh, they obviously have feelings for each other...but they. From what I have heard of my parent's they are like best friends...they have been with other people, but they always come back to each other...and its so obvious to everyone...even the people they are with...but they just...ugh" I say throwing my hands up.

Lulu smiled kinda sadly, "you know Kris...maybe they are just so afraid to ruin what they have...that they don't take that next step"

"But what if it is the best thing that ever happened to them...and they are wasting their time doing nothing about it" I tell her.

"K, you are such a romantic" she laughs as we shop on.

Is there anything wrong with being a romantic? I mean I am realistic...but sometimes love does last forever...take Edward Quartermaine and Lila...they had their fair share of problems, but love won out in the end...and I believe that for my parents...hey and maybe Lulu and Dillon too! Maybe after I succeed in reuniting my parent's I can work on these two!

January 8

Today is the official end of my Christmas vacation but my DAD COMES HOME! He is coming to dinner tonight...and yes I am so doing the HAPPY dance! Anyway, I got to go because Michael is taking me and Morgan to school for the last time before he goes to Stanford. This is the part I hate...having to say goodbye, again. I think it is why Michael did it this way, so this time he only has to put up with Carly crying at the airport instead of Carly and I. Anyway, I am off!

January 8-6:00 pm

My daddy is coming over in a half an hour for dinner! But I decided to write about school. Well actually before school...Michael dropped me off and it sucked! I am going to miss him so much! Anyway now about school. It was okay...my history teacher is out on maternity leave and oh.my.gosh my substitue history teacher is a HOTTIE! Mr. Alcazar...my mom would KILL me if she knew I thought an Alcazar was hot...but Mr. Diego Hottie Alcazar is my teacher, and I think I seriously swooned. His dad is ex-mobster Lorenzo Alcazar...uh, meaning my mom killed his uncle...but Diego is a teacher...his first year...and he is standing in front of me looking all cute and I swear I am going to fail history because he is dreamy. That being said, my dad is here!

January 8, 11:00 pm

I am supposed to be going to sleep according to my mom and dad...but instead I am here. They are sitting downstairs having coffee right now...that's good, right...and my dad told my mom he missed her...missed HER...well then he turned to Molly and I and told us too...but first my mom...that has to mean something, right? Well now I am going to go have sweet dreams!

January 21

I am in a bad mood. School has been so busy! My mom had this huge case, and I swear I haven't seen her in weeks...and today I am at my dad's and he is going on a date. Morgan has Cameron over and i don't feel like playing Final Fantasy Twenty Million so I am sitting in my room. My dad asked me to help him with his tie; he is lucky because I wanted to use it as a noose. He left to pick up Lainey about an hour ago and I am sulking. I actually like Lainey, she is a shrink...I think my parents have both seen her at one point in their lives, and she is pretty...but my dad shouldn't be going out with her...he should be going out with MY mom. Why are parents so dense?

January 26

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! Okay...Puerto Rico boy...um yeah, he sent me an email today. His dad is some very important Puerto Rican political figure. He said it took him 2 weeks to get his dad to find out my name for me...and then he went and googled me! Anyway, he is 16...and goes to boarding school in Switzerland...he wants to keep in touch, and tell him next time I am going to be on the island! Um, yeah, mom...dad...vacation...NOW! All this romance strengthens my resolve. My parents have no idea what hit them...Phase Two starts now.

February 1

Molly was sick for three days...with a really bad flu. She is better now...but I think I may be coming down with something...I called it Phase Two infection...I mean, if I am sick enough, my mom is going to be fawning over me, and my dad...well he will just come running. Right now I am heating the thermometer in the cup of water that Molly heated in the microwave...see, she is the best sister...EVER! Anyway, daddy is on his way and my mom is heating up chicken soup...yes I sent Molly down to make sure the house doesn't somehow get set on fire.

February 1, 7:28 pm

Code Red, code Red...remember that thermometer...well I think I may have heated it up too much...because they want to take me to the hospital! Must.think.fast.

February 1, 7:40

I talked them out of the hospital, but um...Patrick Drake is coming over to check on me. My dad called Carly and they are coming over right now. I never thought I would utter these words...but must speak to Carly, now!

February 1, 10:45

Well disaster avoided...surprisingly thanks to Carly.

Flashback

"Well Miss Davis-Corinthos, I heard you weren't feeling so well" Patrick said getting his stethoscope from his medical bag.

"Is Carly here" I asked wide eyed.

He nods and continues to pull contraptions out.

"Need to speak to her now, please before you examine me" I ask and I guess he understands because he peaks his house out the door.

"Car, can you bring me a cup of water?" he yells down the stairs.

She comes sauntering up a minute later, "what do you need water for" she asked confused.

He points to me, "she got this crazy look in her eyes about needing to talk to you"

"Hey sweetie, what's up"

I sigh loudly at the pair, "I'm not sick"

"What?"

"Not sick, faking"

"Um, why"

I blew the lone piece of bang out of my face, but figured if anyone would get it Carly would, "I am trying to get my parent's back together...I faked sick so my dad would come over, and now because I heated the thermometer up too high they called Patrick"

She starts to laugh before straightening up, "have you been talking to Luke again?" she asks.

I shrug and she continues, "first, you got to learn how to regulate temperature on the thing...second, don't ever listen to Luke"

For the first time I notice Patrick is smiling at us, "are you going to tell" I ask.

"I am going to tell your parent's that their little girl is going to live another day...I won't tell them she going to live to plot against them" he says his cute dimples peaking out.

"Thanks" I say smiling as he walks out...Carly is behind him but I hear her, "go downstairs; I will be right down" she says before coming back in.

"Kris" she says poking her head back in.

"Yeah"

"Valentine's Day...send your mom gardenias" is all she says before winking and walking out.

After Patrick left my parents came up and put me to bed. I felt like I was five again...but I guess I never got this when I was five; so maybe I deserve it now. As for the convo with Carly...GARDENIA'S? Carly helping me? Maybe I do have a fever and delirium after all!

A/N: Sorry it took me forever and five days to update...and when I did, it is kind of filler...hope you liked anyway! And as always thanks for the reads and reviews are especially appreciated!
