HAHAHA! Hello children. I am the review monster, taking the place of lovelylamb1999 for this chapter. I have to tell you that you must review or you will be eaten by ME! Mwaahaaahaaahaa!
"Fabian, will you go get Alfie and Eddie for dinner?" Trudy asked.
Except for those two boys, everyone else was seated at the dinner table. The aroma of spaghetti drifted through the air.
Jerome had his left arm draped around Mara and was eating with his right hand.
"Where are those slime balls anyway?" Patricia asked. She shoved a forkful of spaghetti into her mouth, very unladylike.
Fabian sighed and hurried down the hall to Alfie's room. He opened the door to find both boys hunched over Jerome's laptop.
"What are you doing with Jerome's laptop?" Fabian asked suspiciously.
"We're looking for pictures of i=him with his previous girlfriends." Eddie muttered.
"Why?"
"So we can post it on OpenBook." Alfie answered.
"Why?"
"To make Mara jealous and mad at Jerome." Eddie replied absentmindedly.
"Why?" Fabian asked again.
"To break them up." Eddie typed something in.
"Why?"
"Because I want my best friend back." Alfie said standing up.
Bored out of his mind, Fabian absentmindedly said, "Why." He shook himself awake.
"What do you mean why?" Alfie yelled. "That alien Mara kidnapped my best friend!"
Fabian turned to Eddie. "And you?"
"I just want to have some fun." Eddie answered.
"Well Trudy is calling you guys down for dinner." Fabian opened the door and left.

After dinner, Fabian followed Eddie and Alfie up to the room he shared with Eddie for a prank meeting.
"Ok, since Jerome's not coming to this meeting, again, we shouldn't have a prank meeting. We should have a sabotage meeting." Alfie said. He turned Jerome's laptop towards Fabian and Eddie.
Fabian examined the picture of Jerome. He was standing next to a pretty brunet. She was tall, blue eyes, wide smile. "Who's that?"
"That is Jerome's ex- girlfriend, Brittany." Alfie answered.
"What are you doing with this picture?"
"Posting it on OpenBook!" Alfie exclaimed.
"Wait till Mara sees it!" Eddie laughed. "Not only is this sabotage, this is an epic prank!"
"Isn't this pretty much playing a prank on Jerome?" Fabian asked. He clicked next and studied another picture of Brittany. "And isn't Jerome on our team?"
"Oh yeah, scratch the prank idea then." Alfie said. He began typing. "And done!" Alfie said a minute later. "The pictures are now online for Mara Alien Jaffray to see."
"This isn't right." Fabian muttered, but of course, no one paid any attention.

Mara stared at the laptop in front of her. Twenty pictures. Every single one of them of Jerome and a girl. Not just any girl, a pretty girl. Not just a pretty girl, a beautiful girl. Not just a beautiful girl, a gorgeous girl. You get the picture.
She slammed the laptop shut. Where was Jerome and why was he hanging out with this random person?
"Hey Mars, what are you doing?" Amber walked into the room and sat down next to her.
Mara turned the laptop so that Amber could see.
"Oh, I know her." Amber said. "Brittany something. She's in my gym class."
"Why is Jerome hanging out with her?"
"He's not. At least I don't think he is."
"But he just posted these pictures, five minutes ago." Mara whined.
"That's impossible." Nina said, entering the room. Fabian followed behind her. "Jerome's at the soccer field with some guys from Clovis House."
"He is?" Mara set the laptop on the coffee table. "Then who posted these pictures?"
Fabians face turned red. Nina turned to him and his red face. "Did you do this?" Nina asked. "Fabian, I never thought you'd do something like this.
Fabian threw his hands up. "I swear it wasn't me."
"Then who was it?" Nina asked. Fabian didn't answer.
Patricia entered the living room holding a bag of chips. She grabbed a handful and stuffed them into her mouth. "Who did what?"
Amber sighed. "At this rate, the entire house is going to be involved."
Patricia's eyes drifted to the laptop. "Oh, I'm sorry Mars."
Nina turned back to Fabian. "Who?" she demanded.
Fabian sighed in defeat. "Alfie and Eddie."
"Those slimeballs!" Patricia stormed out of the room. "I'll teach them a lesson." She called over her shoulder.
Amber followed her out. "Yeah, I'm the only one allowed to mess with relationships!"

Eddie and Alfie were playing handheld video games when the door was thrown open. Three angry girls came in. They crossed their arms across their chests and stared intently at the boys.
"You have some explaining to do." Nina said.
The boys cowered under their glare.

Mara was sitting on the couch when Jerome walked in. He tossed the soccer ball on the ground and looked at his girlfriend.
"Alfie and Eddie are messing with our relationship." Mara said.
"What do you mean?"
"Go log onto your OpenBook account."
Jerome did as he was told.
Five minutes later, Mara was pouring herself a glass of water, when Alfie ran in. He threew open the door of the laundry room and slammed it shut. A second later Jerome and Amber ran in.
"Where is he?" Amber demanded. Mara pointed to the laundry room. Jerome opened the door and peered inside.
"He must have left the house. The back door is open." He muttered.
"Let's go help Nina and Patricia with Eddie!" Amber said. She ran out of the room.
"I'm so sorry, Mara." Jerome said.
"It's all good. I'm glad it wasn't you."
Jerome planted a kiss on Mara's cheek. "Well, I have to kill Eddie now." He jogged out of the room.
Mara smiled. She had awesome friends.
