I wake up on Saturday, yawn, and hop out of my bed. I change and grab my bag. I check the calendar on my way out. Wow, only two days until my birthday! I put on my coat and earmuffs and walk out the door. I think I'll teach Soul a Paramore song today. Maybe Fences? I'll figure it out when I get there.

I make my way to the piano shop, brainstorming my favorite Paramore songs. Wait! I got it! Monster! It's perfect! And the piano cover is beautiful, too!

Soul is waiting for me outside, but surprisingly enough, he's not shivering. I smile to my self. "Hey! What's up?" I ask when I get close. He waves. "Nothing much. Not cold for once, if that counts." He says. I unlock the door and walk in. I greet Phil and walk back to Gene's room. I make sure to lock the window this time.

I sit down at the piano bench next to Soul. "So today I was thinking we could play a song by my favorite band, Paramore. Sound good to you?" I ask him. He nods. "I think I've heard of them. What song?" He asks me, taking his hands out of his pockets and resting them on the keys. "It's called Monster." I reply.

I play the first few bars. Soul copies me. We do that until he knows it backwards and forwards. I applaud while he bows. We sit there for a bit.

"So, Paranormal, it's a band right?" He asks me, breaking the silence. "Paramore. And yes, it is. The lead singer's name is Haley Williams." I answer, correcting him. He nods. "So I'm guessing there are words to it?" He asks again. I nod. "Well, can I hear them?" He says. I nod again and reach for my iPod, but he grabs my hand to stop me.

"I mean, Maka said you were a pretty good singer, too. Could you sing them?" He says. I blush. "Umm, yeah. Sure." I say, putting my hands on the keys. I take a deep breath.

The piano sings the opening chords, just like I'm about to sing. I close my eyes and take another breath.

"You were my conscience," I sing softly. This song is really close to my heart. I've rehearsed it a billion times. I know exactly what to sing and how to sing it.

"So silent now you're like water

And we started drowning

Not like we'd sink any farther

But I let my heart go,

It's somewhere down at the bottom

But I'll get a new one

Come back from the hope that you've stolen"

I stop for a second. I look at the keys, then close my eyes again. I feel Soul by my side and smile. I inhale.

"I'll stop the whole world,

I'll stop the whole world

From turning into a monster

And eating us alive

Don't you ever wonder,

How we survive?

Well now that you're gone,

The world

Is ours

I'm only human,

I've got a skeleton in me

But I'm not the villain,

Despite what you're always preaching

Call me a traitor,

I'm just collecting your victims

And they're getting stronger

I hear them calling

They're calling!

I'll stop the whole world,

I'll stop the whole world!

From turning into a monster

And eating us alive

Don't you ever wonder,

How we survive?

Well, now that you're gone, the world

Is ours!

Well you thought of straight solutions

That I liked attention!

And not always knowing the answers

You're gonna lose it!

You're gonna lose it!" I belt out, my fingers no longer playing the music. I hold it for a while, my voice sounding as smooth as butter. I see Soul's jaw drop out of the corner of my eye, obviously stunned at my vocal range. I've never actually been able to hit that note like this until now; I'm pretty stunned myself. I cut it off, my breath deeper. I held it for a while. Then I smile at Soul and take yet another deep breath.

"I'll stop the whole world

I'll stop the whole world!

From turning into a monster,

And eating us alive

Don't you ever wonder,

How we survive?

Well now that you're gone,

The world…" I sing slowly. I close my eyes.

"Is ours." I finish. Soul stares at me. I stare back. "I… That was… amazing, Ginger," He says after a minute. I blush, tucking my hair behind my ear. He smiles at me.

We walk out of the piano shop. When I get back to the dorms, I kiss Soul goodbye and walk in to our small apartment. I make myself some late breakfast as Mem walks out of her room. She has something behind her back and she's smiling from ear to ear. I raise an eyebrow at her while I flip my pancakes in the pan.

"What's that?" I ask her. She slides into the kitchen, keeping her back facing away from me the whole time. "Oh, nothing…" She says, trying to hide her smile. I take the pan off the stove and try to peek behind her back. She won't let me, though.

"Spit it out, Mem!" I say, my hands on my hips. She sighs. "Well, you're no fun. Close your eyes!" She says. I squeeze my eyelids shut and hold my breath, hoping Mem didn't do something completely totally stupid.

"Okay, open!" She says after a few seconds. I open my eyes and see her holding something small and furry. It squirms around so I can see its face.

"OMIGLOB, MEM! YOU DIDN'T!" I say, taking the little fur ball out of her hands. She nods. "Yep! Happy early birthday, Ginge!" She says. I squeal, holding the puppy up to my face. Its eyes are bright blue and its tongue is hanging out, it's tail wagging in excitement. Wait, HIS tail wagging in excitement, I confirm after checking.

I sit on the floor with him. "What's his name? And what kind of dog is he?" I ask her. She thinks for a bit. "Umm… I think a King Charles Spaniel." She says. I look back at him. He's walking around my lap, licking my hand.

"What's his name?" I ask again. She smiles. "That's for you to decide." She replies. I hold him up to eye level as he squirms in my grasp, trying to reach his tongue down to my wrist. "Hmmm…" I say, thinking. I look at his fur. It's white with various light brown blotches and one over his right eye. Maybe Spot or something? No, that's stupid. Aha! I got it!

"Ollie. His name can be Ollie!" I say. She shrugs. "If that's what you want it to be," She says, walking back into her room. "You two have fun. Just try not to break any of my stuff." She adds. I laugh. "I'm not making any promises!" I call after her. Her door shuts behind her and I look back at Ollie. He's sniffing the trashcan. I pick him up.

"We need to go shopping!" I say after a bit of looking at him. I hold him in my arms and take my bag. Maybe Maka would like to come with me? I'll have to ask. I put Ollie in the messenger bag and scratch his head. "Mem? I'm going out, okay?" I call to her.

"Be back before dinner!" She yells back. I walk out the door and down the hall to Maka and Soul's dorm. I knock on the door. I look down at my fuzzy birthday present. "Be quiet, okay? I want it to be a surprise!" I tell him. Soul opens the door.

"Oh, hey Ginger. What's up?" He says. I wave. I hear an excited yelp come from my bag and hit it semi-hard to get Ollie to be quiet. Soul looks at me funny. I smile nervously. "Is Maka here?" I say, looking past him into the dorm. He nods.

"MAKA!" He yells. I hear a faint, annoyed "Whadaya want?" come from inside their living quarters. "GINGER WANTS YOU! GET YOUR BUTT OVER HERE!" He yells back at Maka. She walks to the door after a few seconds. I wave and she waves back halfheartedly. "Are you busy?" I ask her. She shakes her head.

"Great!" I say, dragging her out of the dorm and down the hall. She runs after me. "What? What is it?" She asks. I look around, then open my bag and lift Ollie out of it. She stares at him with interest. I laugh at her expression. She takes him out of my hands and looks him in the eye. He licks her nose and she squeals.

"It's so cute! What's its name?" She asks me. "His name is Ollie. Mem got him for me for my birthday. Isn't he just precious?" I say. She nods and we squeal together.

"WILL YOU TWO SHADDUP ALREADY?!" Soul shouts from down the hall. He slams the door behind him. We look at each other, then the closed door, then back at each other and laugh. "So what do you need me for?" She asks.

"I need to get him dog food and stuff. And I wanted you to come with me." I explain. She nods. "Okey dokey! Let's go!" She says, putting Ollie back in my bag and running down the stairs. I follow her.

After a few hours of shopping, we get back to my dorm and play with Ollie for a bit. Mem joins us after a while. He runs around the room until he's so tired he can't keep his eyes open and passes out on my lap. Maka leaves after that, though. Mem makes dinner and we eat in silence, so as not to wake Ollie. I put my plate in the sink and get my pajamas on. I go to sleep almost instantly.

I yawn, my eyes still closed. I try to turn over in my bed, but something is on my legs, preventing me from moving. I sit up slowly, rubbing my eyes. I open them and shriek.

"WHO THE HECK ARE YOU AND WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE? GET THE HELL OFF ME, YOU FREAK!" I scream at the boy curled up in my lap, sleeping. His eyes fly open and he screams, falling off my bed. He quickly stands up, scratching his head.

"GET OUT! GETOUTGETOUTGETOUTGETOUTGETO OOOOOUUUTT!" I yell, chucking a pillow at him. It hits him in the head. "What? Why are you doing that? Am I… Huh?" He says, confused. I crouch on my bed, ready to pounce if he comes near me again. He turns around and looks into my body mirror. He screams again and jumps on top of me.

"What the heck!? I'm… I'm a person!" He shouts as I shove him off of me. I look down at myself; realizing that I'm only wearing a small tank top and booty shorts. I yank the blanket over my scantily clad body and shriek.

"Please just tell me who the fudge you are and why you're in my room!" I say, sighing. He tilts his head. He has a brown splotch over his right eye and his hair is spikey and light brown. Around his neck is a blue collar with two dog tags on it. He's wearing a white shirt with a light brown jacket and camo-pants. He somehow seems familiar... "Don't you recognize me?" He asks. I shake my head slowly. He slaps himself. "Oh, well of course you don't! Here, give me a sec!" He says.

I rub my eyes. He's no longer a little boy, but a puppy who looks exactly like Ollie. "Whaaa…?" I say, still confused. He transforms back and holds his hands out. "Tada!" He says. I groan and fall back onto my bed. That would explain the splotch.

"So… you're just like Blair…?" I say, my hand on my forehead. He leans over me and nods, grinning like an idiot. "Even though I have no idea who that is, I'm gunna say yes!" He says. I push him away and stand up. I throw on a jacket and drag him out of my room by the collar, slamming the door behind me.

"Hey, sleepy head. What was all that noise about?" Mem says when I walk into the kitchen. I pull Ollie out from behind my back and shove him in her face. I drop him, walk back into my room, get in my bed, and fall back to sleep. I seriously am not in the mood for this right now.

AN: Yay! More OCs! So do you guys like Ollie? I love him! He's kind of like a character in another book I read once, but not really based off of a specific character. Well, I hope you guys like this chappy! X3

Ginger: Wow... did I seriously say 'Omiglob?'

Mem: Yeah. I think you did.

Soul: Glob?

Ginger: It's not nice to say the lord's name in vain...

Mem: So she uses that as a substitute occasionally.

Soul: Why?

Ginger: Cuz I just don't want to, Gosh! *head turn* (Napolean Dynamite reference FTW!)
