Okay, guys, here's my little snippet (or as you might like to call it, a meanie-butt teaser) for you to survive until next week. Unfortunately I've got loads of homework, a puppet show to perform, a guitar recital to perform in, and church to go to this weekend. That's two things more than I've normally got to do on the weekends, so I'm really sorry, but this is all you're gonna get right now…
Hope you enjoy it! I love you all, especially you Kimmy! Also, I'm especially proud of all my brilliant little readers who figured out the whole phone thing…sigh. If only all of us were so bright…

"Ugh! Jessie, what are we going to do??" The two girls had been waiting for over an hour at the bus station, but now the lights had turned off and with it being 3 in the morning, they were getting a bit nervous.
"I don't know," Jessie's voice was more than an octave higher than normal, "We can't call mom and dad, or they'll kill us. We can't call Uncle Dave or he'll tell mom and dad and they'll still kill us, plus, Aunt Steph would probably go all emotional on our rear-ends! We can't stay here though, or we'll be attacked and killed!!"
"Gah!! Jess, thank you so much for your enlightenment, but I don't think it's helping the situation very much!" Mitchie practically screamed, "And stop grabbing onto my arm! I don't need your nails permanently marked in my flesh!"
Jessie looked embarrassed and let go of her arm. She sat down on a bench nearby and sulked until Mitchie calmed down enough to come sit by her. "Look Jess, I 'm sorry I'm being such a butt. I really just have no idea what to do! I guess I'm gonna have to call a taxi and we'll just wind up paying hundreds of dollars to get home." Mitchie reached into her bag and felt around for her phone. (A.N. This is for all of you smarties out there!) It wasn't there! Where could it have gone?! She started digging around her bag with even more energy than before and Jessie looked up worried. "My phone!! It's not here!" Mitchie looked horrified and Jessie was more scared looking.
"Did you lose it again?!" Jessie looked at her. Mitchie shook her head and they sat there for a minute while she thought over all that had happened in the past 12 hours or so.
"Oh. My. Gosh." Mitchie started.
"Did you remember where your phone is?" Jessie looked hopeful.
"Yes. I did, and I'm sorry to say that amidst all of the 'woohoo, we get to meet Connect 3' business, I completely forgot to get my phone back!!" she put her head in her hands and Jessie moaned in frustration.
"Mitchie, what are we gonna do?" Jessie wrapped her arms in her jacket and scooted closer to Mitchie.
"I don't know Jess, I really don't know…" Mitchie put her arms around Jessie and they sat wondering.

"Nate," Shane whined, "I didn't even get to sing my song for her!"
"No," Nate said.
"Pleasepleasepleasepleasepleasepleaseplease!!"
"No, Shane! We've got to get moving if we're ever gonna make it to Helena soon! We cannot go gallivanting off looking for Mitchie right now!"
"Fine. Well, at least I can call her," he picked up his phone and dialed her cell number which was, by now, imprinted on his brain.
You're the voice I hear inside my head,
The reason that I'm singin'
I need to find you. Now I've found you.
Shane whipped his head around and glared over at the bus cupboard. Why was Mitchie's newly programmed ring tone coming out of his cupboards? Jason walked over to the cupboards and got the phone out. "Dudes! It looks just like Mitchie's phone!" Jason spoke helpfully.
Nate rolled his eyes and looked over to Shane, "Well, I guess you'll get to sing the song for her now." he headed to the front of the bus, "Hey! Rob, we've gotta head to the nearest bus station!"
Shane smiled happily as the bus turned around. He was going to see her again!

"Mitchie, it's so cold," Jessie wimpered. They'd been at the bus station for over two hours now and not a single bus had come through.
"I know, but we're just going to have to get used to it for the next two hours. Then, when the sun comes back up, it'll be hotter than Hades! Just think of that, don't mind the cold right now," Mitchie had stayed awake the whole time to make sure no creepy stalker people came up and tried to kidnap them or something worse, but poor Jessie, who had forgotten her sweater, fell asleep shivering. She had just woken up a few minutes ago and Mitchie was glad to have her company again, but not so thrilled that she was griping about the temperature.
"Mitchie! Look, there's a bus coming!" Jessie jumped up and waved her arms as if the enormous bus couldn't see two girls in its direct path. Mitchie stood up too, though, and after all of the craziness that night, she also began waving her arms frantically.
The bus stopped about ten feet in front of them and the doors opened. "Hey, you want a ride?"
"Yeah. And can I please have my phone back now?"

Oooh, that was really cruel. Sorry guys, I'd really like to give you more, but unfortunately I'm too busy and if I try to write more this weekend, it'll be for Auditioning!
I'm so proud of all my amazing readers! More than half of you figured out she didn't get her phone back, and I thought that deserved an award! Or torture. However you look at it is cool with me:-D
Thanks for reading, and especially thanks for the 163 reviews!! I hope that you can all get to work and make it 200 soon. Then I'll be the happiest person in my household I think! (although it's not hard to be the happiest person, considering my parents are upset about having to get a new car and my sister's just my sister:)
Love and Hugs from your eternally grateful author!!
Oh!! Post-Script!! (P.S.) I almost forgot to tell you that if you really want a sequel, because this'll probably be done very soon, then you NEED TO GO ON TO MY PROFILE, TAKE THE POLL, AND TELL ME TO!! Thanks!
