here it is... Blairs Halloween party. 3 days after halloween. and the return of a Bones character. he is not hidden. dont think too hard on it.

Hello dear journalthingy. Believe it or not I'm getting used to writing in you. Shocking, I know. But I guess it's a good thing; I still have almost nine months I still have to write in you. Lucky me. So it is Saturday and I am about to leave for my bi-weekly shopping trip with Blair. And tomorrow I have to go do decoration shopping/idea hunting with Gina for dance committee. We have actually been getting along great as of late. I am still wary though. She did almost push me down the stairs. I don't want to be hit by a truck or something. That would be an awful way to go. And I would just feel like an idiot and pity myself in the afterlife. Just continuously thinking 'I should have known' that would be sad. And again, I know I'm technically supposed to be writing daily, but… it aint happening. Sorry. I cant. Lives gotta move. And frankly I deal with a lot of weird and unusual crazy. One of my dad's band mates brought a ferret with him yesterday for band practice. A ferret. When asked about it he referred to him as 'old Jackson' that's right a ferret. My dad and me are still wondering why he had 'old Jackson' the ferret. And we may never know. It made Panther crazy. So 'old Jackson' cant come around these parts any more. Okay that last sentence, just read it again with a western cowboy voice in your head. I would change it but I'm lazy and I wrote in pen. Oh and one thing about the ferret that makes this story even more odd. The ferret had a pink sequined collar with the name 'Missy' on it. My father told me his friend's brain was 'halfway in heaven' I think that's supposed to mean he was high or drunk. That answer we may also never know.

Angela put her pen down. And thought about what she wrote. Maybe that was a bad idea. Oh well.

Angela was waiting on a bench outside the store. Gina was supposed to meet her there. Angela drew in her sketchbook. She drew the street and bus stop. It wasn't her best piece of work, but it looked pretty darn good. Then she was tapped on the shoulder.

"Hey Angela." Gina smiled

"Hello. Shall we head inside?"

"Yeup. So I was thinking instead of the classic red and green we use a different colour scheme?"

"Yeah that sounds good. We could do blue, white, and silver?"

"That could be pretty."

"Okay, so lets go look and see what we would have buy what we can make and that will go together with the theme."

"I'll follow your lead" Gina said stepping behind Angela.

They were at an all year round Christmas store that was quite far out from where they lived. But do able by bus. The place was huge and looked like it used to be a garden store. And there was a small section for Halloween, considering this was October. A lot of the stuff was quite expensive but there was tons of stuff on sale. And there were always ways to make their own and possibly better. The first thing they noticed was there were Styrofoam glittery snowflakes hanging on the ceiling. They both loved the idea of doing something like that, and it was much cheaper to find volunteers, cardboard, white paint and glitter… so they decided to make their own. They were finding they got along surprisingly well. They actually had a lot in common. Which shocked them, they spent so much time hating each other they didn't know that they could easily become friends. And were, quickly. And as much as Angela did not want to ruin this good thing, she really needed to ask Gina something…touchy.

"Hey Gina?"

"Yeah Ange?" she turned from looking at some ornaments that were hanging off a plastic tree

"What's with you and Alex?"

Gina stiffened and went back to the ornaments. "These glass snowmen are reasonable, we could put these on tables as part of a centerpiece."

"Great idea… but you avoided my question."

"He… is a crush. For three years almost."

"Wow. That's commitment."

"I have it bad. But he just…"

"Doesn't see you the way you want?"

"Yeah. I mean we run in the same social circles. Its not like we don't know each other."

"If it helps I think he likes you."

"Really?"

"I don't know for sure if it's the way you want it to be or the way I think it is… but when I tutor him he sometimes mentions you."

"Seriously. Are you just pacifying me?"

"No. If it would make you feel better, I can scope it out."

"You don't have to."

"But I will. It's not much trouble. I watch people all the time. Not in a creepy way."

"Angela, are you sure?"

"You make it sound like I'm a spy. I'm just helping. He's going to Blair's party. You can come and I can see what's up."

"Would Blair be okay with that?"

"She invited half of our grade. I will ask her if you like, but she won't mind."

"Okay then. Are you sure it will work?"

"I'm not promising anything. But I will see what he thinks about you by the way he acts."

"Okay, I'll go."

"Good. Oh, by the way, costumes are mandatory."

Journalthingy! It's been a while. Sorry, I have been through a busy few weeks and I wont be able to write long. Tonight is Halloween and Blair's party that I had to help plan. Good thing today was a Saturday. Last night I helped Quinn with the food till about 10-11 o'clock at night and got up at 8 this morning to go help finish at Blair's house and help with the decorations. I just got home. And I have about 10 more minutes until I got to put on my costume and head back over there again. The party officially starts at 6 but she wants Quinn, Jeremy and me to be there at least a half an hour early to finish final details. I have been on my feet all day and cant wait to see all this hard work pay off and get to relax. My dad is with the band tonight dressed as who knows what. I am going as a bee. Don't ask how I came to that one, it was ether that or a princess. And princess seems childish for a reason. So a bee it is. Anyway I must go turn myself into a bee, then feed Panther. Talk later journalthingy!

Angela looked in the mirror and adjusted her antenna headband and took a breath. She had fed Panther and was about to head out the door. She looked at her bee costume. Not her best costume, but she looked ok. She looked at her cat, who was staring at her from the stairs. She waved goodbye to the small fury body and left the house.

Angela walked into her friends home to see Quinn running around like a chicken with his head cut off.

"Quinn? What you doing?"

"Where's that…" she started only to be cut off by Jeremy throw a grape at her from the loft area upstairs. "ASSHOLE!" she turned to look at him just after the grape hit her in the back. Jeremy ran.

"Hold on a second." Angela said and stomped off towards the stairs knowing Jeremy couldn't not, not run into her. Sure enough as she reached the top, he almost ran into her.

"Hey Ange!" he said appearing innocent

"Give me the grapes." She put on her best tone of authority.

"Come on…"

"Give it."

"What if I say no?"

"I will spit in your eye."

"Cause you could do that."

"I can. I got really good accuracy."

"No you cant."

Then Angela aimed for in-between his eyes and spat at him. And it landed right between his eyes.

"Take the grapes." He passed the bowl into her stomach.

"And apologize to Quinn."

"Since when were you queen bee?"

"If the antennas fit." She smiled at the joke he made regarding her costume.

The party was starting now and Angela was helping Blair with putting chips into bowls.

"You have to teach me how to spit like that!" Blair smiled largely.

"You don't want to know where I learned that."

"Maybe I do."

"Trust me. You don't." she cringed at the memory

"That is an awesome skill"

"It rarely comes in handy."

"It came in handy today."

"Point taken."

Angela was trying to scope around for Quinn soon after the party started. The house had filled up quickly with teens and a few younger kids that were friends of Blair's brother had taken refuge upstairs for trick-or-treating inventory. Angela was in such a hurry looking for her friend, she ran into a small young-looking kid.

"Hey!" a small male voice said

"Oh Gosh, I'm sorry I wasn't paying attention. Are you okay?"

"I'm fine. I was just getting food." The younger boy dressed as Darth Vader said

"Your one of Sam's friends right?"

"Correct." He said lifting off his helmet

"Well, the food is in the kitchen. If any of the others bother you, just call for Angela, I'll help out." She offered the young boy. He looked timid and nervous to do such a simple task of getting food.

"Actually can you come with me? One of them will trample me. I am small for my age." He looked at his feet. Star Wars sneakers, of course.

"Ah, what the hell. Sure. I'll make sure no one tramples you." She told the boy.

"So, I know you said your small for your age, but you seem very… young."

"I know. I'm seven now."

"Is that first or second grade?"

"For me? Seven."

"Why is a seven year old in grade 7?"

"I skipped a few. I am very smart you know"

They arrived at the food and the small boy dragged one of the vacant near by chairs over to the table all the food was on. He grabbed a large paper plate and got up onto the chair went up on his knees and grabbed some food. Angela watched him do this process and looked around the room while munching on a pretzel.

"I am ready to go back Angela." He told her. She turned around and walked behind the boy and led him to the stairs. He got onto the first step and turned to her.

"Thank you."

"No problem kid."

"Lance."

"Huh?"

"My name. It's Lance Sweets."

"Okay… Lance. Have fun…"

"You too." He ran up the stairs to small child safety.

She shook her head and went to find Quinn

Gina had arrived dressed as a vampire. Angela was standing by Quinn when Gina walked up to them.

"Hey! You came!" Angela said to her.

"I did. You told me to come, so I came." She said.

"Hi Gina." Quinn said. Blair and Quinn were surprised that Gina and Angela were getting along. But they supported it.

"Hi Quinn, nice witch costume." Gina noted

"Thank you. Good vampire look." Quinn told her

"Alex is over there Gina. He is the oh, so creative baseball player." Angela said

"He was not thinking creatively." Quinn added

"I'll go say hi." Gina waved to the two and headed towards the boy.

Once she was far enough away Quinn and Angela looked to each other. An unspoken conversation took place. 'Lets follow her and spy on what happens' the pair followed her path and headed towards the wall a safe difference away from the two, but close enough they could hear them.

"This is entertaining." Quinn commented a few minutes later.

"Your telling me." Angela whispered back. They hadn't moved an inch since they got to their post. They had been sucked in to Gina and Alex's conversation.

"What's going on?" Blair said as she came up beside him. Startling the two spies.

"gosh Blair! Way to give a person a heart attack!" Quinn turned

"what are you guys doing anyway?" Blair asked

"spying. On Gina and Alex." Angela whispered the last part.

"Oh… that sounds fun! Can I join?" Blair asked eagerly.

"fine. Be quieter though." Angela said. Waving her friend in closer.

"I'll be good. I promise." Blair said as she settled beside Quinn to watch the 'show'
