Actually not all of them stopped being friends. Just the ones that you think wouldn't be friends actually are. If you're confused just keep reading J

Massie sat and looked at her pregnant friend getting her own breakfast out. Dylan had carefully concealed a piece of strawberry angel food cake in the back of the refrigerator. Neither girl had really talked.

"So you and Derrington?" said Massie coyly. She was honestly interested about what happened with them after PC's collapse despite not asking Claire in advance. Dylan only nodded as her mouth currently had the angel food cake fluff she was trying to digest.

Massie had taken the time to adjust to what had happened to her friend and she was taking it surprisingly well.

"It's Derrick," snapped Dylan trying to hold in her pregnancy hormones. Masking her mixed up feelings she just shook her head. "Would you like something to eat?"

"You have anything that's not made for a four year old?" asked Massie trying to make a funny. She had a sour looking on her face; clearly Dylan wasn't laughing back. She coughed and said, "No, I'm good."

Massie's stomach had proved that she had been lying. In fact she had been in such a hurry to get here this morning, that all she had was a banana. Dylan smiled before pulling out a Tupperware container with homemade lasagna in it. Dylan silently pulled out a knife and cut a piece before putting it in the microwave.

Both girls didn't speak until the beep from the microwave went off and Massie was done eating. At last her stomach was in paradise. Whatever Dylan put in the microwave was amazing!

"Dylan I didn't know you could cook," said Massie actually wiping her plate clean. "That was amazing."

Dylan blushed but didn't stop smiling at the praise. She had learned to cook mainly from the culinary arts and nutrition classes at ACD. When she moved in with Paige at 16, Dylan had learned a lot about cooking from her mom. Not to mention all the Rachael Ray she had caught when she first realized she was pregnant.

If her mom ever left her the Daily Grind, Dylan would turn it into a cooking show. She would defiantly be the next Rachael Ray. She would have everyone on her show that would make things fun. Right now she just enjoyed being a mother to Cassidy and then the twins.

"So spill the details, how did you and Derrington get back together?" asked Massie and Dylan pinched the bridge of her nose. Derrick hated the nickname and frequently corrected those that told him.

"After I quit Marvilous Marvels I moved in with my friend Paige. Her parents actually had told me that I had to be a patient before I could move in officially," Dylan joked but was actually serious about. "Anyway we had a couple of classes together and started to be friends. After that upgrade he wasn't too keen on dating me just yet. We stayed friends until about we were about 19…"

Dylan started recounting the stories that she had told Cassidy, but this time with the mature stuff. "Then we started dating again. Both of us were in college for a while I was getting a culinary arts and journalism degree. You know food critic, restaurant publicist… Anyway Derrick was getting a business degree so he could help out with his dad in the family business. It was on our anniversary when. Well, you know…"

She gestured to her bugling stomach.

"Neither of us knew what to do except I dropped out of going to physical school and instead enrolled on online classes. His parents were really supportive and offered me to move in."

Dylan grew quiet thinking that she had said too much. Instead she started thinking of Cassidy's first day of school. She should have been there with Derrick to see her off. Sighing Dylan didn't want to think about it, Derrick was going to be back soon.

"Dylan I'm here to talk to you about going to my fashion show," said Massie. "It's this Friday right before OCD's middle school reunion."

Massie had thought long and hard about this. She didn't want to bring up the other girls in the conversation. If they still had bitter feelings towards each other it would probably turn them away from coming. It was best to get them all together in one place without them knowing. Massie knew exactly how to be sneaky and manipulative, it was like they were 13 again.

Dylan only fidgeted in her seat nervous go to a fashion show? Not only was she due on Sunday! Well next Sunday but she was close to her due date. Not only that but she didn't want the cameras on her! There was going to be US Weekly that remembered her from Marvilous Marvils!

Actually no, not many would remember her from Marvilous Marvils. The show was a hit for about 2 years when Dylan was 15 and at the top of her game. That was when the network decided to make Dylan more mature and lead to some bad karma. By the time she was 16 the show was slowly dying and Dylan quit. Merri-Lee still had her show, The Daily Grind, which was still forever popular though. Even at the age of 53 Merri-Lee still had a loyal group of followers.

"I can't," said Dylan flatly. "My sons are due on soon and Doctor Kilbourne said they could come early."

"I heard you can go out until your due date," said Massie innocently. She knew that wouldn't work on Dylan, she had twins due soon. She needed Dylan to be there and confront Alicia. This would have been a lot easier if Derrington hadn't knocked her up. Okay even Massie knew that was wrong to say but she wanted Dylan there to see the others.

"Massie I'm not a 13 year old willing to follow in your footsteps again," snapped Dylan. This time she had meant it. She wasn't going to follow Massie around like they were part of a middle school clique still. They all had lives and had separated.

Massie only stared at her friend, she had thought roping Dylan in was going to be easy. Apparently not as she had just snapped at her. Right now she had to be sneaky and find a way to get Dylan to go to her fashion show.

Dylan started to clean the breakfast plates that Cassidy was eating off of and put Derrick's omelet in the microwave. Somehow she had to get Massie out of her house before Derrick got home. She looked at the clock and saw that it was close to 8:30.

The doorbell rang again and Dylan only rolled her eyes, had Massie invited someone with her? Then her sea green eyes widened in realization. Cam was coming over to watch the game with Derrick while it was his week off. Cam wasn't at school because Briarwood didn't start until the next week. The school system in the area was simply WEIRD.

Yes Cam is a teacher. He was actually teaching at Briarwood as a history teacher and coached soccer. Dylan turned to open the door for her friends. It had actually shocked her that she was still friends with Claire. Granted Dylan hadn't really been close to any of them come to think of it. There was Alicia who was grossed out by her habits just as much as Massie and both seemed to turn up their noses at her. Dylan and Kristen actually were close. Shaking her head she reached the door and peaked out of the window before seeing that it was Claire and Cam. They were going to save her!

"Hey," said Dylan opening the door. She had just seen both of them not to long ago. Both stepped inside but not without Cam offering Claire to go in before him.

"Where's Derrick?" asked Cam looking around for his friend.

"He's dropping Cassidy off at pre-school," said Dylan as Claire gave her a side hug. It was so weird being this big. If they ever have more kids she wants to make them one at a time. Cam shrugged and went off to what Derrick called his "man cave."

It was Claire that finally broke the ice of what to say because frankly Dylan didn't want to say that Massie was here. That would probably make Claire run away leaving Cam behind.

"I got the job!" screeched Claire. "I went from a lowly freelance photographer to this! You are now looking at the chief photographer at US Weekly Magazine."

Screeching Dylan tried her best to hug her friend, which was amazing. Claire used to be a freelance photographer and did a few acting roles in the city. For a while she just did a couple of roles on a few shows: the Carrie Diaries, The Goldberg's, Law & Order, SNL... Finally US Weekly had contacted her about being a photographer 2 months ago.

This was so exciting that Claire had moved up, now she only wished that she had a job. Dylan didn't want to use her mom either.

Now Claire, she was beyond excited working with celebrities and what not. She didn't have to write and all she had to do was photograph US Weekly. They even let her continue doing walk on and small roles in the city. She actually had a full length talking scene in the Carrie Diaries! Sometimes Claire wondered if she made a mistake leaving Hollywood behind back in her Dial L Days.

"Claire?" said a voice coming from the doorway. Massie Block stood there in all her glory staring at her friend. Claire turned and waved at Massie which made Dylan stare. Oh so they didn't hate each other…

Claire knew Massie was going to be back come August but she didn't think that Massie would find Dylan first. Claire actually thought that Massie would go find Alicia first.

"Hey," said Claire walking over to hug her friend. Claire could see that Massie looked just as great as ever. Dylan looked uncomfortable a bit there…

"Hey you're coming to my fashion show right?" asked Massie to Claire who only knitted her brow in confusion.

"Of course!" she said and Massie only looked pointedly at Dylan.

"I'm in too," said Dylan in a small voice, not really wanting to be the only one not there.

Alright so I'm in the process of rereading the books and trying to write Massie's character well. Again if anyone would like to help just message me!
