AUTHOR'S NOTE - Thank you again SonnyAngel for that review!! You are right, Kevin Buchanan and JR Chandler are not worthy of AJ or even their respected family businesses.

Chapter 10 - The Plan
Dillon knew that AJ wouldn't be back from Pine Valley until at least 5pm on Sunday, but it was now 9pm Thursday and Dillon knew this would be the perfect time to reveal his plan, although he knew that everyone else would think it would be the most stupid thing they have ever heard.
"Okay," started Dillon, "Here's my plan, I am already seeking a parental divorce from my mother, and was already wanting AJ to become my legal guardian until I am eighteen. So anyway I start failing French..... "
"Wait Dillon." interrupted Brooke Lynn, "Aren't you already failing French."
"Can I please continue?"asked Dillon. Then he saw Brooke Lynn nod. He then continued, "Anyway I start failing French and if all goes right, AJ goes for an interview with Mrs. Vickers about my grades. SO, where do you guys come in? I'll tell you, you all tell Mrs. Vickers how great AJ is, and Brooke Lynn, you tell AJ how great Mrs. Vickers is."
"I don't think I like this idea." said Sage.
"Why, what are its flaws?" asked Dillon.
"There are a lot of flaws Dillon, like how long is it going to take to get AJ as your legal guardian?" explained Sage.
"If all goes well, two weeks from now." replied Dillon.
"Well if it doesn't?" asked Georgie.
"Then we have to think of a new plan." responded Dillon.
"Why don't you just set them up on a blind date?" asked Maxie.
"Uh... no. AJ has told me too many times not to interfere in his love life." said Dillon.
"Well you better think of something and fast before AJ comes back on Sunday." stated Brooke Lynn.
"Why don't you just take AJ somewhere you know she'll be?" asked Kyle.
"Or better yet just tell them both that it's single's night at 'The Cellar' next Friday." said Lucas.
"How are you so sure she's good enough for your family?" questioned Sage.
"Why do you keep questioning the compatibility between AJ and Mrs. Vickers?" questioned Dillon back.
"Because I don't think there is any compatibility." replied Sage.
"Sage, why should you care who Mrs. Vickers goes out with? I don't recall you being in any French class." said Georgie.
"You know what, just forget it." said Sage.
"No, we won't forget it." replied Dillon.
"Sage just tell us what your problem is." stated Maxie.
"You know what, this is just stupid." said Sage as she stormed out the door.
"I wonder what her problem is?" asked Lucas.
"Who knows, this is Sage that we are talking about." stated Georgie.
"Let's adjourn this until tomorrow night. It's Friday night and there will be a party," started Dillon as everyone's face brightened up, "right after making a final plan." then everyone's happiness soon turned into disappointment.
"You know Dillon I really liked your plan, why don't we all just go with that one, I mean you have already started the process." suggested Kyle.
"Yeah I'll totally support you dude." said Lucas
"You guys can come over after four on Friday, all the time before that I'll be with Justus and he's going to help me get my parental divorce." explained Dillon.
With that everyone left, Dillon was hoping that the night would have gone a little better but he still couldn't understand why Sage was SO standoffish, it wasn't like she knew AJ or Mrs. Vickers.
The Next Day....
"So as long as AJ agrees to be my legal guardian within the next week, I can be emancipated from my mom as soon as the end of the month?" asked Dillon.
"Yes, and as long as Tracy doesn't pull out the recovering alcoholic card, everything should go smoothly." explained Justus.
"What if she does?" asked a worried Dillon.
"Then it will be a few months before a verdict could be reached. Why are you so anxious about AJ being your legal guardian?"
"Well I'm failing French, and you know how my mother gets completely out of hand...."
"And let me guess this Mrs. Vickers is about AJ's age right? And maybe she'll be a little less hard on you if you have her flirt with AJ?"
"Well she's a widow, and AJ doesn't anyone in his love life right now."
"So you want to help two lonely souls?"
"How did you know?" asked Dillon sarcastically "But basically I would rather want AJ to be my legal guardian, over my mother or Ned. I mean I'm living with him right now and it's SO great, he let's me be myself and gives me a lot of responsibility with few rules, well he gave me A LOT of rules before he left for the corporate summit."
"As long as that can be demonstrated in court, there is a good chance that AJ can be your legal guardian until you're eighteen. Yeah Edward was looking forward to having AJ with him in Pine Valley, he's totally forgiven AJ for the embezzlement."
"That's good. Will that look good for my case? Grandfather forgiving AJ?"
"Right now it won't look good, but if you have other shareholders of ELQ that say it was the right thing, then it's good. By the way does AJ know you're doing this?"
"Nope, not yet. Well he kind of knows, but I think he has been expecting this."
"Okay as long as I know."
"Thank you Justus. I'll let you know his decision as soon as he comes back."
"I'll be looking forward to that call Dillon."
"Don't worry about it, I have it all under control."
Dillon didn't really have anything under control even during Friday night, and Saturday. Dillon was hoping that AJ wouldn't learn about the water balloon and microwave incidents.
