So I really suck at coming up with what to right about, soo any suggestions for J? :)

Ps, sorry if iguanas are nothing like how I'm writing them but I have no idea what they do...they're not the ones who change colours and they're not like those bearded dragons so I don't really get the point of them!

Pps, I hate this chapter. I'm sorry! BUT KRISTENxDANNY FTW.

Ppps, THANK YOU WHOEVER TOLD ME THIS WAS THE WRONG CHAPTER(: turns out I uploaded a chapter of Sleep Away: the Sequel to this...oopz:) thank you, I owe you!:)

Pppps, sorry, I always have like the longest ANs!


I is for iguana

"What is that?" Nine year old Kristen Gregory squealed, her ski-slope nose crinkled in disgust as she peered over Danny Robbins' shoulder.

"That's Jeffrey! He's my new pet!" Danny grinned, tapping the chicken-wire cage happily. "He's an iguana! Wanna see him eat a cricket? Look they're still alive!"

Kristen shrieked and jumped away as Danny held a plastic containor full of saw dust and chirping, wriggling crickets under her nose. "Why would you get him?"

"'Cause he's cool!" Danny turned his attention back to 'Jeffrey', wiggling his fingers inside the cage.

Kristen tried to hold back her disgust.


"Danny, hurry up! When you said you wanted to play soccer, I expected you to be ready twenty minutes ago, when I first came over!" Kristen tapped her foot impatiently as fourteen year old Danny fed his iguana some crickets.

"Aweh, Kris look, he's eating it and it's struggling! Come look! Quick it's so cute!"

Against her better judgement, Kristen leaned in next to Danny, only to see Jeffrey the Iguana gobbling up a cricket who indeed was still struggling. "Danny! That's gross!" Kristen backed up, wrinkling her nose. "Hey, have you ever noticed that Jeffrey doesn't blink?"

Danny hesitated, eyebrows crinkled. "He blinks," he disagreed. "He has to!"

"No he doesn't," Kristen argued. "Not all things blink."

"Well Jeffrey does," Danny decided. "He's not going to be some freaky thing that doesn't blink."

"Watch," Kristen sat down beside him in front of the cage, eyes glued to the ceramic log where Jeffrey had disappeared. "When he comes out, I bet you he won't blink."

And so the two sat like that for the next hour and a half, waiting to be right.


"Can you pass me a mealworm?" Sixteen year old Danny asked his girlfriend of an hour, Kristen.

"Umm, no," Kristen glared at the containor that held sixteen 'Jumbo Mealworms'. "I'm not touching anything that has to do with the lizzard."

Danny grumbled something before grabbing the containor himself. He held out a Jumbo Mealworm, which looked like it had eaten steroids for all of his life. The thing was as long as Kristen's thumb. She shuddered, turning away.

"Why hasn't Jeffrey died yet?" she wondered aloud. "I mean you've had him since you were what, ten?"

"Nine," Danny corrected, dropping the mealworm into the warm cage. "And I dunno. I love him too much."

"Aweh cute," Kristen teased, wondering how on earth anyone could love the little green, scaly...thing.

"So remember a few years ago, you told me that Jeffrey never blinked?" Danny turned his big brown eyes on her instead of the iguana. "I think you were right. I mean, look." He and Kristen both looked down at the lizzard, who's eyes were wide open and buldging out of his face.

"Ew," Kristen wrinkled her nose. "He's so ugly, Danny. How can you love him?"

"Hey, you're pretty ugly too, but I love you," he teased, eyes crinkling as he grinned.

Kristen leaned over and kissed him -their first kiss as a couple- for a second before pulling back and glaring at the lizzard.

"What's wrong?" Danny stared from Jeffry to his girlfriend.

"Jeffrey doesn't blink, he's going to be watching us kiss," Kristen wrinkled her nose. "That's like porn."

So Danny laughed and dropped a towel over the iguana's cage, enveloping Jeffrey in darkness, before kissing his girlfriend.
