Hey guys! Long time no see! I've been super busy, with plays, and singing contests, and gymnastics, yahda yahda yahda. Please excuse all grammar and spelling mistakes, I was in a rush to get this out!

Finally, I have an update for you! Its where Lucas, Ara, and Charlie are reviewing the applications, per the request of PercyandTris. Enjoy!

Lucas:

Wow! Those girls are all really pretty! I think about them constantly. I can't wait to meet them all! For now, all I can do is sit in Arabella's room (with her of course) and review their applications (Ara didn't want them to leave her room). We started in order that their names were called. We were on Anna Elizabeth Summers (the first one).

"What do you think about her?" Ara asked me.

"Eeh. She's kinda pretty, I guess. She seems smart-ish." I tell her nonchalantly. "To be honest, she doesn't really stick out to me that much!"

"Are you kidding me? She's HOT!" my brother Charlie said from behind me. He'll probably say that about everybody. He's what my mom calls a "player".

"No she's not." I told him. But he refused to have it.

"Fine," he admitted, "so she isn't hot but you've got to admit, she is pretty." I disagreed. The girl in the picture had dirty blonde hair, which was in a long side French braid, caramel colored eyes, pale skin, and a spurt of freckles across the bridge of her nose. Don't get me wrong, she was cute,but nothing more. Also she didn't seem like my type. She was super adventurous, and seemed wild and irrational. That's not me, nor what I like.

Then we moved on to Clarissa Emery Astreya.

"Ooh! She seems nice! And so pretty!" Ara said in a dreamy voice. Ok, yes, she was pretty! She had long silky chestnut hair that's fell in loose princess curls down her back, and mesmerizingly icy blue eyes. She wasn't just pretty, she was beautiful. In the picture, she was caught in mid-laugh.

"It says here that she is very generous, and always puts others needs before hers. OMG! That's sounds just like you Lucas! And her interests include acting, singing, and writing, interesting combo. She's a 3 from Dominica. Wow! She sounds great! You should marry her!" I contemplated this.

"Well, I'll just have to meet her and see for myself! Plus, you don't even know her yet!" I exclaimed. She could be super rude and everything! Ara only said her good qualities, no bad. She'll probably do that for all of the girls though, not just Clarissa.

Next, it was Madison Lucia Petrova.

"Ok, now that's HOT." I said over my shoulder to Charlie. He wasn't actually there though. I guess he had left. Anyway, she was hot. She had CRAZY long chestnut hair, bright large emerald eyes, that were surrounded by thick black eyelashes.

"She's gorgeous." My sister said with plain adoration. I was speechless.

Afterward, was Graciana Angela Winters.

"Wow! She's pretty!" I said. Graciana had strait blonde hair, and pale blue eyes.

"Yeah," Ara started, "but girls that are that pretty are usually sooooo dumb! She's probably going to wind up being a dumb blonde, Lucas. Sorry." I hoped not, but Ara would know more than I.

Next, was Alice Mei Galloway.

"Dang she's smart!" was my first comment.

"How on EARTH can someone study so much!?" Ara asked in bafflement.

I don't really know, but this girl, Alice, was an absolute GENOIOUS! She speaks 10 languages, is the youngest person EVER to be admitted into college in Illéa, at age 15, and won the national science fair in her town (it was ages 13 and up) at age 13, for a project on the length of sound infinities! This girl is training to be a rocket scientist; she's a three (if you were too stupid to guess). She has long raven black wavy hair, tan skin, and clear blue eyes. She's going to be the one teaching the class! Watch out Sophie! (A/N Sophie is the new tutor. She's Silvia's niece).

After her, was Kaylee Belle Evans.

"Awww! She's ADORABLE!" shrieked Ara. Gosh that girl can be loud! Kaylee has untamable strawberry blonde hair, and grass green eyes.

"On her application it says that she's bubbly, kind, and very smiley! Lucas, she seems so sweet! You should marry her!" She did seem nice…

"Ara! For the second time, you haven't met her yet!" This was getting frustrating!

We moved on to Paris Violet Everett.

"She's kind of pretty, I guess." I said to Ara. Paris had long curly red-chestnut hair, and green-hazel eyes.

"Yeah, she's kind of ordinary, I guess. It says here that she's outgoing and courageous. That sounds kind of like Mom." Ara said chuckling.

"Shall we move on?" I asked her.

"We shall." She said in response.

So we did, and the next person was Roxanne Amber Szlesky.

Immediately, Ara and I busted out laughing in unison. Roxanne has long, thick black hair, small dark brown eyes, and a small scar above her left eye. That wasn't the funny part though, Roxanne looked drunk in this picture!

"You've got to be joking" Ara choked out, wiping a tear from her eye. Roxanne was slouching, and her eyes were practically glazed over! Gosh, she looked like an idiot!

After we finished laughing, we moved on to Clara Jaden Brouillette.

"She's so pretty! Oh! Isn't that Ashley's daughter?!" Ara asked in excitement.

"Who?" I pondered.

"Ashley was in Mom and Dad's Selection!" Ara said as if it were the most obvious thing in the world. Clara has long blonde-brown hair, olive skin, dimples, and dark green eyes. She's a two, and a classical pianist. She also sing's in accompaniment to her piano. I think that's pretty cool!

Next, was Caroline Margret Tomalin.

"Huh. Ok." Ara said. She was pretty boring. She had light golden brown hair that was very, very, straight, and honey eyes. It looked ok, but nothing special. She was an artist, a five. Caste didn't really matter to me, so I didn't care too much. Apparently she laughed super easily, and was easily impressed. I don't really need a push over, that sounds kind of boring. Sorry Caroline, but it might be a no.

Afterwards, was Sadye Gabrielle Darling.

"That's funny, she looks like-" Ara started. I cut her off.

"Princess Alexandra." Princess Alexandra was the late princess of Swendway, and my former friend. I think she had a crush on me, but I was never sure. Poor girl. She died in a rebel attack when she was at the young age of 11. So young, so sweet, so innocent. And now she's dead.

Next, Erika Julia Lena Beliza.

"God, she looks, fake." I remarked.

"Yeah, and if she's anything like her aunt, she's going to be a complete b-"

"ARA! Language!"

"Sorry, but anyway…"

"Wait, who's her aunt?" I asked.

"Bariel Pratt, also in Mom and Dad's Selection."

"Do you think she got in because of her aunt?" I asked.
"Well, if she did, then why not Clara?" pondered Ara.

"Because she actually looks presentable, and has good traits!" I exclaimed.

Erika has light brown hair that was long and wavy/curly-ish with long side bangs, green and gold cat-like eyes, high cheek bones, perfect eyebrows and a teeny nose.

"She's like the stereotypical model!" Ara said.

"Well, she is a model!" I told her aggravated.

"Lets just move on!" said Ara with a huff

After our aggravation, was Juliana Reilly Marsson.

"She also looks dumb!" Ara exclaimed.

"Ara!"

"Sorry! But it's true! Look at her! She's so happy go lucky!" Juliana has blonde hair in beach waves, blue/grey eyes, rosy cheeks, and an upturned nose. She was smiling like it was nobody's business.

"Fair enough! Next!" Charles said from behind me. Ara and I jumped. When did he get there?!

Next up, was Rose Calliope Winchester

"Awww! She's so cute and…. quirky." Ara said. Rose had long auburn hair that was more to the red than brown with strawberry blonde highlights that fell in loose waves down just above the small of her back, large doe eyes that were hazel, and oval face, and big black-rimmed glasses that fit her face quite nicely.

"What do you think Charlie?" I asked showing him her picture.

"Meh. She's ok, I guess."

We moved on, and the next person on the list was Rebecca Nicole Haas.

"Awww… She's seems kind of cute!" Ara said

"Are you kidding me Ara? She looks so kooky and immature!" Charlie remarked. Rebecca has layered brown hair parted in alignment with her left eye; football shaped brown eyes, a dimple in the right side of her face, but not her left, and a few freckles.

"Kooky, but cute." I concluded.

Next, was Fallon Rose Lancaster.

Fallon had golden blonde hair with a hint of copper in it, almond shaped eyes that were an extravagant shade of green, creases on her forehead, and her nose was slightly askew, I don't know what from though.

"She's pretty." Ara said

"Eeh." Charlie shrugged.

"Charlie, are you enthusiastic about anyone? What fault do you see in this girl?" Ara practically shouted.

"Just look at how skinny she is! She's got to be anorexic!" Charlie exclaimed.

We all studied how skinny she is. Charlie was right, she was the skinniest person I had ever seen, and almost had a look of malnutrition to her! I just hoped that wasn't the case.

After her, was Gemma Luella Winters.

"Hmmm…. Wait a second! Graciana and Gemma are cousins!" Ara exclaimed.

"I wonder is relatives have ever gotten in before…" I wondered aloud.

"They haven't, I'm sure of it!" Ara said, sounding absolutely bubbly.

Gemma had long frizzy bronze hair, brown eyes, slightly arched eyebrows, long eyelashes, and light freckles across the bridge of her nose.

"She's pretty…" Ara said.

Next up, was Aria Del Jamison.

"Oh my goodness! Aria's dad is Michael Jamison!" Ara exclaimed.

"Who?" Charlie and I asked in unison.

"Ugh! You boys are so stupid!" thanks Ara. "Michael is a very famous politician!"
Right, I think I heard something about him. From what I know, he's a stereotypical politician: from the Latin route poli meaning many and tics meaning bloodsucking creatures.

"Do you think it'll give her an edge?" I asked Charlie.

"No, in fact, possibly a disadvantage. Politicians can be sooo rude and hated. They only look out for themselves!" He whispered to me with confidence in his answer.

"She's pretty though!" Ara exclaimed, obviously hearing us.

Aria has long silky strait black hair, tan skin, and almond shaped brown eyes. She looked almost stereotypical Asian girl, minus her skin, which had almost a South American glow. She was very pretty. There was no doubt about that.

After her was Brittney Anne Grace.

Brittney had black hair that fell between her shoulders and elbows, chocolate skin and matching eyes, a small nose and a face breaking smile. I don't even know how she could make that possible! It looked pretty painful! I guess she was pretty, but only regular pretty. She was absolutely nothing extraordinary. In fact, with that face cracking smile, it toned down her looks by several notches.

"It says here she's very cheerful and happy. That's good, right?" Ara said, obviously a teeny bit frightened by Brittney's smile.

"I guess so…" I answered, just wanting to move on , she was starting to weird me out.

Obliging to my pleas, we moved on, and next on the list was Willow Beatrice Hays.

"Wow, the first 6 we've gotten so far!" Ara pointed out.

I skimmed over the applications we've reviewed, she was right, Willow was the first 6!

Willow has frizzy brown hair that falls a bit further than her elbows, large dark green eyes, an unhealthy skin tone, high cheek bones, a small nose with a light dash of freckles, and thin lips.

Next, was Elizabeth Nicole Wells.

"Wow! That's impressive!" Ara remarked

"What's impressive?" Charlie and I asked in unison.

"Well, Elizabeth took in an orphaned 8, a baby at that, in from the streets. She raised him as her own, seeing that neither one had a family. Her entire family is dead, and the baby's mother probably had a teenage pregnancy. The mother would be thrown in jail, and the baby would be shot. That mother was smart and bought the baby some time. He's 8 now, and he's named Eli. She was only 11 when she took him in!" She exclaimed with a gleam in her eyes.

That is impressive. I thought to myself.

Elizabeth has golden bronze waist length hair that had a slight wave to it, blue grey eyes, full lips, slightly rosy cheeks, and a dimple on the right side of her face.

Preceding her was Daniella Marie Nightingale.

"Ooh! She looks so… mysterious!" Charlie said mocking Ara. I let out a slight chuckle, but Ara didn't seem to notice.

"I know right! Ooh! And Daniella's a TOP lawyer! She's better at the age of 18 than most of the lawyers at 45! She's outrageously good!" She said in adoration

Going back to the mysterious thing, Charlie was right!

Daniella has long strait black hair, silver eyes, and a very pale, but not sickly, complexion. She was very mysterious, and pretty!

After her, was Lucy Josephine Dane.

"Ooh! She's so completely gorgeous!" Ara cooed in pure adoration.

Lucy has elbow length layered golden blonde hair, beautiful sapphire eyes, creamy pale skin, and dark sunglasses perched on her head. She was smiling a perfect movie star smile, with flawless pearly white teeth. She is so gorgeous.

I looked over to Charlie behind me, his mouth was practically hanging on the floor, and he was drooling, a lot.

Awestruck and reluctant, we moved on to Meadow Grace Stephens.

"Awww, She seems cute and kind hearted!" Ara cooed.

Meadow, interesting name, had blonde hair that was just longer than a bob, almond shaped blue eyes, some freckles, a dimple, and an oval shaped face. She was cute. I inwardly smiled.

Next, was Emerson Megan Jefferson.

Emerson is a teeny tiny person, thinnest I've ever seen. She looked to be around 14, even though in reality she's 17. She had light brown hair that was slightly wavy, dark brown eyes, and a shy, closed mouth smile.

"Ooh! A 5! And a musician too! That's cool! She plays guitar, violin, piano, trumpet, flute, saxophone, and clarinet. Maybe we can play with her sometime!" Ara suggested.

"Ooh! Ara's got some dirty intentions!" Charlie exclaimed, wiggling his eyebrows.

She swatted at him in annoyance,

"Shut up! You knew what I meant!" She yelled in annoyance.

After her was Jacqueline Davis Bleu.

"Well, she's French…" Ara started

"Yeah," I said cutting her off, "but so is Clarissa, Graciana, Clara, Juliana-"

"We get it Lucas." Ara said in a frustrated tone.

Jacqueline has dark brown-auburn hair, which is VERY curly (Too many curls if you ask me…), deep brown eyes, and obnoxiously high cheekbones. She's not really my type.

Next up, Noel Aradia Coltson.

"Says here she's very outdoorsy. That's good!" Ara exclaimed.

She was right! I really admire outdoorsy people, and Ara knows it!

Noel has pin strait red-chocolate brown hair that falls down to her lower back, large round brown eyes, freckles sprinted across her nose and cheek bones, and thin lips.

Afterwards, was Isla Adrienne Arden.

Isla has dark brown shoulder length curly hair, big dark brown eyes, high set cheek bones, and a dimple in her left cheek.

"Ooh! Poor girl! The only girl within miles!" Ara said in pity.

"Yeah, suppose this is the first time she's met a girl her age?" Charlie remarked.

"Oh, relax! It'll be good for her!" Ara told him with confidence.

Then, we moved onto Bethany Sofia Royam.

"Very graceful looking!" Ara complimented.

Bethany had ridiculously long (I assume it went past her butt) platinum blonde hair that was half up in a braid crown and half down, pale blue eyes, and very pale skin, but not ghostly.

"She must be stuck up though, Look at all of that poise, she's dripping with it!" Charlie exclaimed.

"Yeah," Ara answered, "such a shame though…"

Next, it was Amelia Maia Jones

Amelia has elbow length deep brown hair that curled a little bit, dimples in her smile, and interesting eyes… They were green in some parts, and silver in others. It was quite fascinating to look at actually!

"Whoa! Look at her eyes!" said Charlie in bewilderment.

"I was thinking the same thing!" I exclaimed.

"Yeah, pretty…" Ara said in a slight daze.

We moved on to Marie Alexis Davis.

"Awww! Cute! I like her!" Ara determined.

Marie had a dark brown curled bob and bangs, sapphire eyes, and rosy cheeks. The first person, I noticed, to have a bob.

"Refreshing…" Ara sighed.

Next up, Skylar Anita Lucellita.

"Ooh! A red head!" Ara shrieked excitedly.

Skylar was the first red head. Her red hair was long and wavy, with cooling brown doe eyes to compliment her fiery hair. She had freckles, but only on the bridge of her nose and the top of her cheeks. She was very different for my mother as a red head, of Charlie or Josie as a red head, but she was very pretty all the same.

Next on the list was Annabelle Rosalie Roberts.

"Ooh! An Artist!" Ara said in admiration. She's always wanted to be able to paint, but she pretty much sucks, andshe knows it.

"Ooh! And she's our first dirty blonde too!" She pointed out.

She has dirty brown hair, dark brown eyes, a small nose, and thin rosy lips. She was a pretty girl, but it was definitely an ordinary beauty.

Preceding her was Rhea Lynn MacArthur.

"Ooh! A military girl! That means that she's probably a tomboy!" Ara concluded.

Rhea has brown hair in a bun, pale skin, football shaped brown eyes, and freckles on her nose.

"That cool." Charlie said, but he probably didn't really care. He's one of those boys that doesn't care about much. He's been that way nearly his whole life!

I thought it actually was cool though!

Last, but not least, -the person we were admittedly dreading- Lacy Marie Ross.

We all sat in silence, looking at her profile.

"I didn't even know 8s could enter the Selection." Charlie said, breaking the silence.

"Well, obviously they can." I said bluntly.

"Well, she doesn't look horrible, for an 8…" Ara said with uncertainly.

Lacy has dark brown limp hair that went down past her shoulders, tan skin and dark brown football shaped eyes. She also had a dirt smudge on her left cheek.

"She looks almost… boring…" Charlie said in mock disgust.

"Charlie!"

"I was just joking, Ara!"

"She's an 8, cut her some slack!" I told him.

To be honest though, I almost agreed with him. While she didn't look boring, per se, she looked very ordinary. I guess I'll just have to meet her and find out for myself.

Oh my goodness! Guys! After long last (sorry again!), you have Lucas's reaction to the girls!
