I yawned. The moon was high in the sky - It had to be nearly midnight. I let my eyes droop closed.

Sky's P.O.V.

A knocking on my door awoke me from my troubled sleep. As I opened the door, my eyes flew open with shock. Piper was laying on the porch swing, sleeping and unharmed. I walked over to her. But before I could pick her up to take her inside, I noticed a girl in the oak tree. She was smiling at Piper. She looked about Ty's age. I stared up at her. The girl took on a startled expression and tried to climb higher. I walked over to the tree.
"Are you the one who brought my sister?" I asked. She nodded.
"Y...yes. Are you 'Adam'?" She replied. "Yeah. What's your name?" I asked.
"My name's Liz." She said quietly. "Well, Liz, would you like to come in?" I offered. Liz smiled shyly. "Sure." she replied.

Piper's P.O.V.

I woke up on the couch. Was it all just a dream? I wondered. But no. Liz walked into the living room, wearing grey sweatpants and a green t-shirt.
"Adam! Piper's up!" She yelled. Adam walked in, beaming.
"Piper!" he shouted, hugging me tightly. "Adam!" I squealed, hugging him back.
"You won't believe what happened to me last night!" I said once he released me. "Liz told me everything. Piper, the guy who kidnapped you sold girls as slaves in another country." Adam said softly. I nodded.
"That makes sense." I replied. "I'm just glad you're safe." Adam said, hugging me again.
"Adam, can Liz stay with us? She saved me from that guy." I pleaded. Adam chuckled. "I wish she could, but her parents are probably so worried about her." Adam replied. Liz looked at her sneakers. "I, uh, don't have parents." She said awkwardly. "Well now you do. Liz, would you like to live with me and Piper?" Adam offered. Liz's face turned from shock to disbelief, to pure joy in just a few seconds. "Thank you, Adam. This is the best thing that's ever happened to me." She said, a sweet smile on her face.

Okay, to make this chapter a bit longer, I'm gonna skip to June 26th. Liz's Birthday.

I woke up. Why was my alarm clock on? It was summer vacation! I was about the hit the snooze button when I caught a glimpse of my calendar. June twenty-sixth! I leaped out of my bed and headed to the bathroom. Screw changing out of my pajamas, I just had to brush my hair! Talk about a bedhead.
After I finished brushing my hair, I tied it into a long braid and ran silently into Adam's room.
"Adam! Adam, get up!" I whispered, shaking his shoulder. "Nnh...huh?" Adam groaned, sitting up. He rubbed his eyes like a child might. "It's Liz's birthday! C'mon, we still have to make the cake!" I replied. I grabbed his hand and led him into the living room. Adam yawned and started working on the decorations. I took a quick cake inventory count: Cake ingredients, candy corn, mini-twix bars, green food coloring, blue food coloring, white icing, white frosting. Perfect. I quickly made the cake batter, and while the chocolate cake was baking, I started mixing the frostings and icings. My plan was to make a campsite scene on Liz's birthday cake.
The timer dinged. I took it out and after it cooled, I started making the scenery. Carefully, I frosted the base of the cake green, and added a river with the blue icing. Then I made a campfire, using the mini-twix bars as logs and candy corn as the actual fire. Finally, in white icing, I put in print, "Happy 17th Birthday Liz." Adam called me over quietly.
"How's this?" He asked. I looked around. The scenery was beautiful. I had chosen a typical party scene, except everything was outdoorsy. Pine green balloons, sky blue streamers, all that stuff. "It's awesome! Liz'll love it! I'm gonna go wake her up." I replied. I went over to the guest room, which had since been re-decorated and turned into Liz's bedroom.
"Liz, get up!" I called, knocking on her door. "I'm up, I'm up." A groan announced. I ran over to the tabe where we put the gifts and cake. Adam stood on the other side of it. "What is it?" Liz asked, opening her door. "HAPPY BIRTHDAY!" Me and Adam said simultaneously. Liz beamed. "Thank you so much!" She said happily. This was a rare moment of girlyness for her: she had proven over the past few months to be quite a tomboy. A knock on the door announced our guests. Adam and I had invited some of our friends over to celebrate. I had invited Amber, Briana (Who luckily could afford to come to Washington) and another girl I had met, named Christina. In case you wanna know what Christina looked like, she was Hispanic, and had chocolate brown eyes and matching hair.
"Piper!" Briana squealed as I opened the door. "Briana!" I replied, hugging her. We looked like typical girls, hugging and squealing like weirdos. (:3) Adam greeted the friends he had invited: Ty, Jerome, Tyler (all of who I hugged: They were my friends too) and some new people: Jason, and another guy named Mitch. I think his youtube was BajanCanadian. "Um, hi. I'm Ty." Ty said to Liz. Liz smiled. "I'm Liz." Liz replied. I noticed her blushing just a tiny bit. I smiled inwardly. I could tell that sparks were flying. It made sense. Ty was a little shy, and so was Liz. Another knock announced the always late (or at least Adam said he was) Brandon. Or as all of his subscribers called him, Bashur. "Sorry I'm late! I had to finish editing a video." he said. Part of me wanted to say "Excuses, excuses" just for the heck of it. Although I understood how much editing had to go into the youtube videos. I had watched Adam edit a video a few days ago. In fact, he convinced me to start my own gaming channel. I named it "StargirlXOX" (this is not a real channel, do not search it.) I currently had about 32 subscribers, and it was growing every day. "Well, now that everyone's here, blow out the candles, Liz!" Adam said. Liz walked over to the cake and looked at the glowing candles. She closed her eyes and blew them out. Then we all sang that really short birthday song.

THIS IS YOUR BIRTHDAY SONG, IT ISN'T VERY LONG - HEY!

She smiled. "This is the best birthday ever!" She said happily.

Oh dear lord, you have no idea how long I was working on ideas! I couldn't think of anything besides a birthday and a snow day. And I want to save the snow day until at LEAST October. I hope you enjoyed, and I'm sorry for the lack of chapters. (God I feel like a freaking Youtuber XD) Anyways, I'm sorry. I have school a lot, and I have writers block a lot after school. School crushes my creativity. XD Anyways, sorry. This a pretty long chapter compared to the other ones, and I guess I got like creative backup or something and I was dying to write. Well, enough stupidity. Bye, Sparklers!
