Squirt: Did you know the largest purple grape lives in Alabama next to Mr. Beans cottage?
Me: No I did not, must be recent. I visited Mr. Bean last month.
Squirt: Really? He came to my house yesterday with Obama and John Lennon's cat Dennis.
Me: And I wasn't invited? Thanks! I had Regular Jesus, and Raptor Jesus, and Poseidon chilling at my house. We could've had our own Cyber!
Squirt: Dang really? Well me and Mr. Bean went sky diving while hunting alpaca's with Angelo.
Me: That's strange cause after the Jesuses and Poseidon left I went bungee jumping with Angelo. Then we went and made out while watching the sunset.
Squirt: Aww (: I was there invisible!
Me: Oh… Was Cam present as well?
Squirt: Indeed. We were making out also.
Me: I see. Well technically I didn't, Raptor Jesus told me.
Squirt: Remember I am Raptor Jesus.
Me: The point. Anyway, Josephine raped Marshal.
Squirt: Dang, he was my best friend! Did he call?
Me: Yea, he's pregnant.
Squirt: I just called him. He says you don't own Darkest Powers.
Me: Darn, that was a secret…
Squirt: He's not that good at keeping them I guess… Pass me the Llama leg, would you?
Me: Maybe when I'm done pooping.

Chloe POV
I sat on the bed in Hanna's room, Tori on one side, Hanna on the other. They were discussing simple things like clothes, me giving my opinion every now and then. While they talked, I went over my nightmare in my head. I'd talk to Derek about it later, he was always the best about those types of things. Then again, so was Liz… I excused myself from the two, and headed for the washroom. I sat on the ledge of the shower. Liz appeared, sitting on the sink. I told her about the nightmare and she nodded.
"I'll go make sure your aunt is okay." She smiled at me, and started to swing her legs back and forth.
"Do you know how long it'll take?" I stood across from her, my arms folded across my chest.
"Um… no." She laughed. "Why?"
"We're going to Vancouver…" Her eyes widened and she nodded slowly, staring at her feet.
"I'll find you." She began to fade. "See you, Chloe." I said bye back, then exited the washroom. Hunter was staring at me weirdly.
"Necro," I whispered. He nodded, then walked into the washroom after I left. I wandered the house slightly, my limp fading drastically. Hanna came skipping down the stairs, finally changed out of her pyjamas. She was wearing dark blue jeans, a light blue striped t-shirt, and brown heel boots, with these brown suede things coming up to just below her knee. Her red hair was pulled back in a ponytail, and her bangs were clipped.
"Do you guys want to come riding?" Her green eyes were sad. Macy tilted her head, a smile playing on her lips as she looked at Hanna's boots.
"Hell yes I do!" Macy bounded into the living room, and came back a few minutes later with a pair of black mid-shin length boots, though no heel. "Will these work?" Hanna nodded. I followed them outside, through the back yard, and to a giant barn I hadn't noticed before. Hanna pulled up the garage like door, and was met by a German Sheppard.
"Hey Mia," Hanna gave the dog a pat, then headed into the barn. Macy stayed at her side, me following behind. We passed a couple of doors that were closed, and Hanna didn't bother opening them. She turned off into a little aisle, then pulled a door open. "Hey Dancer!" I raised an eyebrow, but she went into the room. "Macy?"
"At your service!" Macy said. Hanna poked her head out and asked for a 'lead rope.' Macy came back a minute later with one, and handed it to her. She emerged a few seconds later, with a horse. He had tan fur, and a black mane and tail. He had black on his legs, too, that came up to about halfway. Macy stroked a hand down his head a few times. "He's beautiful." She whispered.
"She." Hanna laughed Macy nodded. "You can have her. You ever riden before?"
"First place in the Buffalo Heart Farms mid-spring show." Macy smiled sadly. "Three years ago." Hanna nodded sadly at that.
"Maybe not her then." She put the horse back in and heaved the door closed. "She's really slow, I didn't think you'd riden before."
"I'll ride her," I said. Hanna shook her head.
"She's too tall for you," I made a face at her and she laughed. "I know the perfect horse for you though. His name's Button." I followed her a few doors down. There was a small - not really small, but smaller than the one before - horse. He was dark brown, and had a blonde mane and tail. He also had a few white spots on his back leg. She pulled him out of the stall, as Hanna called it, and led him down the aisle a tiny bit. Once satisfied with a spot, she grabbed a chain from the wall, and hooked it onto the thing around the horses head. She unhooked the roped, then grabbed a chain from the other wall, and did the same as the last. "I'll keep him here for a few minutes while I get Pez and Mork." After she said that, Kylie and Holly came bounding into the barn.
"We want to ride too!" Kylie announced. "Man, I haven't done this in years!"
"When was the last time you rode?" Hanna asked.
"Back when I was six, just before I ran away." She looked down at her feet. Hanna nodded sadly again.
"Alright, follow me!" I started to follow. "Chloe, you'll have to stay with him, I can't leave him out like that." I nodded, and stayed with the horse, petting his nose.
Holly POV
I followed Hanna through the barn I've always wanted to try riding a horse, but back in Grade Eight, I'd gone to my friend Sherry's house, and well, her horse tried to nom my fingers off. Hanna stopped outside one stall.
"This is Ice." She said, opening the sliding door. Inside was a white horse with brown freckles. And blue eyes. I thought all horses eyes were brown? Macy handed her a rope, and Hanna hooked it onto the 'halter.' "He's for Kylie." She handed Kylie the rope, then turned down a different aisle. "Hey Prommy! Bella!" She heaved open another door, and inside was a double stall, separated by a tiny wall. She took another rope, and hooked it onto the horse I was guessing as Prommy. He was all black, with brown down his face. She pulled him out and handed me the rope. "For you!" I took the rope. "Stand on her left side." Hanna ordered. I nodded and stood on the side. Hanna led us down another aisle, and opened two more stalls. One had a white and black horse, the other, a reddish brown horse with blonde mane. She handed Macy the second one, and took the black and white one for herself. She brought them back to where Chloe was, and hooked them up in a line in the same way Chloe's was. Hanna showed us how to brush them, then left us to do it. Then came picking the hooves. I was scared, I really didn't want to be kicked. Hanna assured me Prommy was totally chill with her feet, but she did it for me anyway. After she helped us with the saddles and bridles, she led us out of the barn. I didn't really want to ride, but Kylie insisted it would be fun.
Macy POV
Hanna led us to a box, where she showed the others how to get on. I got on first, while she helped the others adjust the stirrups. Once everyone was on, she led us around the huge backyard, while instructing the others on how to walk their horses. After walking around for a bit, I began to trot. I checked my diagonal, then kept going. Hanna said I could go out to the field if I wanted. So I walked Pez out into the field. The sun beat down and I threw my black American Eagle sweater off and left it on the fence. I sighed happily and started to trot again. I debated in my head whether or not my balance was good enough. I finally decided on yes and started on my canter. It was everything I remember. The wind in my face causing me to cry in happiness. After Pez started to slow down, I stopped to give the poor mare a walking break. She tossed her head a tiny bit, but I didn't mind. After a while, I spotted a couple poles for jumps. I hopped off, determined to at least jump a tiny cross rail. I swung the reins around the first pole, then reached down to set up the jump height. I started off small. I grabbed Pez, and shielded my eyes to look for something stable enough to use to get on. I sighed, and jogged over to the fence, Pez trotting behind me. I walked her around the jump once, then started a half circle trotting lead before coming up to it. Pez took it easy coming up, but a couple steps from the jump, she broke into a canter. I went into my two-point, sighed, and cantered a little out of the jump. I slowed her back to a trot, and attempted the jump again. I half-halted, preventing her from cantering. After the jump, I slid out of the two-point, making the saddle hit my butt.
"Darn, I didn't do it right." I thought to myself. I walked the mare for another circle around the jump, then picked up the trot again. I did the same half-halt thing, but my butt still hit the saddle. Third time, hit. Fourth time, hit. I sighed frustrated, and did it for the fifth time.
"If your butt hits the saddle," I whipped my head around to see Hanna on Mork by the fence. "You're doing it right." She trotted over to me. "She jumps weird. You're butt is supposed to hit the saddle when you jump with her." I nodded. "Do you want me to raise the jump?" I nodded again, smiling. She hopped off Mork, handing me the reins to hold him. She raised the jump to a vertical. That I can do. She wanted to jump it, so I let her go first. We alternated, Hanna jumping off now and then to raise it. We stopped after a while, and realized the others had made their way over to watch us. We joked off for the rest of the afternoon, walking around the field enjoying the oddly warm April day.
Hanna checked her watch and we headed back to the barn.
YY
The rest of the day passed fairly quickly. We got back from the barn around four thirty. We had our late lunch, then we all headed to different areas of the house. Kylie went to find Meghan, Holly completely disappeared, Hanna went for a shower, and Chloe went with Tori to start packing. I drifted around the house like a ghost, no one really noticing me. My legs were cramping slightly, so I went and laid down in the Den. Valerie was stretched across the couch. She glanced up and nodded at me, smiling. I sat in the chair beside the couch, and curled up to sleep. A tap on my shoulder made me jump, and I looked over to be met by Chloe's blue eyes.
"Hey." She straightened up. "Can I ask you something?"
"Anything!" I smiled. I realized Valerie had left the room, leaving me with Chloe.
"Do you know what's up with Hunter?" She sat on the armrest of the sofa.
"Nope, why?" I tilted my head, confused.
"He's been giving me these weird looks…" She shook her head. "It's not really that important, sorry to bother you." And with that she strode out of the room.
Holly POV (Tuesday, cause nothing exciting happens the rest of the weekend)
We drove down the highway in silence. Everyone was worried - biting their fingernails, running their hands through their hair, etc. I looked out the window to the forest rushing by. It was another rainy day today, not heavy thank god. Cam sat beside me, completely passed out. I lost myself in his face, taking in his softened features, to the tiny bit of drool dripping from his mouth. I giggled to myself and glanced out the window again. We were approaching a city, since I could see business buildings and houses. I rested back into the not-so-comfy seats. I heard a snort, and looked over Cam to see Meghan about to fall over. I straightened her out so she wasn't straining the seat belt. Thank god she was the heaviest sleeper alive. Two thousand bombs could go off and she wouldn't even flinch. But Cam on the other hand… the light sleeping pussy. He blinked and looked around sleepily. Finally, his brownish green eyes landed on me. He gave me a half smile, then wrapped an arm around my shoulders. I sighed and rested my head on his shoulder. I looked up to the rows ahead of us. Hunter sat shotgun beside Hanna, Tori, Kylie and Tye in the row behind them, and Jason, Chad and Valerie ahead of me. Ms. Terry was in the car ahead of us. The airport was only a half-hour away now. Viva Vancouver.
A/N: I know my chapters have been getting shorter again -.- I'm trying my best! I'm balancing this with soccer tryouts, talent show practices, drawing, homework, and of course school. I finished that huge project that we had to do, so both me and Hollie should be writing more if you enjoy her story (: But I get distracted easi-Oooh a butterfly.
