A virtual high five to the following who answered last chapter's question correctly: BTRlover1122, Weesta, KrisKat, Lady Cougar-Trombone, Rodrigo, Kihonne, rockybluewigs, Nicole0725! Wow, you guys. You got two out of three, which, I think, is super amazing! Some sharp observers, this bunch!
Extra points to VampireGirlLuvr and dana who NAILED all three! Principal Perry did indeed photobomb the Drama Club, the Cheerleaders, and the Swim Team! Great job!
To Share11223344, thanks for your review! I appreciate it!
Alright, you guys. Final tag for the last episode of Season Two. I'm excited and nervous about you guys reading this. I've put as much effort as I could in this one. The research somehow tedious (you guys will see in a bit what it was for), but it's a special one so it's all good!
The acknowledgements and a pretty long note will be at the end so as not to ruin your reading. I doubt you like hearing me yap anyways. ;)
Ooh, I hope you guys enjoy this ride!

Let it be known that Leo Dooley do not like getting sick.
Or talking about myself in third person, but that's another story.
I seriously have no idea how I got this head cold. I always have enough rest, eat what I'm supposed to eat—well, at least when Adam doesn't talk me into visiting the ice cream place downtown, and I've been slightly less lazy than usual. Mom told me this morning that it's probably just the season. It's been pretty harsh on everyone, and unfortunately it had gotten to me, too. She said all I need is a good rest, plenty of fluids, and to stay away from watching TV or playing on my laptop so I don't aggravate my already too watery eyes.
I know that also meant the Chronicle, but staying at home with nothing to do bores me to no end.
Before they left for school this morning, Bree and Chase came by to tell me that they hope I feel better. Then Bree added that she wished she get to stay home, too. Apparently, Mrs. Thistle promised her World History class a lengthy review on the different dynasties and empires since they didn't do too well on their second quarter test, and she had been dreading it. I know she honestly felt that way (and I don't blame her), but I think she also just said that to make me feel better.
Getting a day off school is great, really. But when you're congested and your eyes feel like they're on fire and you sneeze and cough so much that it keeps you up from the sleep you're supposed to get? It ruins it.
And I have approximately ten days to suffer from it.
I guess I just have to look at the bright side of things. At least Big D nicely turned Eddy off for me. He probably felt bad, what with Eddy blinding me with the lights in my room by suddenly increasing the brightness at five o'clock in the morning and playing heavy metal music after I complained of a headache after breakfast. I'm glad he did before that security system gone loco got on my last nerve. I was going to take my orange juice downstairs and pour it straight to the CPU where he was connected.
I also get to use the speech-recognition software for an entry again. Eddy's not around to listen, so I really don't have anything to worry about. Plus, less time staring at the screen, which will probably make Mom happy. If she ever found out about this. Which she probably won't.
Maybe …

Care to guess what just happened? Care to guess who did it?
If you answered complete deletion of everything that Leo had ever recorded and written in the Chronicle, courtesy of one Douglas Davenport, you were right on the money. That is exactly what happened. ;)
First off, there are a lot of people I owe a HUGE thank you to!
To the awesome people who followed this story: seastar529, raenbc, prankprincess123, nsheldonb, naleybrucasjeytonforever, misaii, .life426, life among the dead, incinera, icequenn3125, foodluver, bzauthor, bluemoon, bloodshottailsdoll, black-witch lover, amichele, aaa3007, WinterFairy7337, WinnieCocoaFlip, Weesta, Toma. , The Unforgettable Beauty, StripedFuzzySocks, SlothKeeper, SingingLuv, Share11223344, STARFIRE67, Ruxi23, NiniCere, Nicole0725, MBVlover2884, Lover chocolate and ice-cream, Lady Cougar-Trombone, LBozzie, KyoumouDBZmjj8, KrisKat, KevinThornFollower, FadingEcho12193, Crazyforeverything, Cassandra Prince, BTRlover1122, AngelGoneDevil69, 88keys and 10pandasrule10 - thank you guys very much! By following, you have let me know that there are ones who are actually interested in my story and where it is going - which I really doubted was possible when I first started writing the first chronicle. ;)
To the wonderful people who favorited this story: seastar529, rockybluewigs, rayybayy55, raenbc, monkeygirl77, .life426, life among the dead, incinera, bloodshottailsdoll, black-witch lover, arc852, amichele, aaa3007, WinterFairy7337, Weesta, Toma. , The Unforgettable Beauty, StripedFuzzySocks, SlothKeeper, SingingLuv, Share11223344, STARFIRE67, NiniCere, Nicole0725, MBVlover2884, Lover chocolate and ice-cream, KyoumouDBZmjj8, KrisKat, KevinThornFollower, KareenaK, FadingEcho12193, Crazyforeverything, Crazy Divergent Gleek, Cassernzero, Blainers-143, BTRlover1122, and AngelGoneDevil69 - thank you guys so, so much! By favoriting this humble story of mine, you had let me know that I have met my top goal for writing this story: to share my love of Lab Rats with my fellow fans. Honestly, that touches my heart. :)
And then there's this special group who had stuck with this story and me through the ups and downs, loops and corkscrews of crazy plots, writer's blocks, and just my occasional hesitation to write on because I don't think my story is ever going to work: 88keys, AngelGoneDevil69, amichele, BTRlover1122, doomforzombies16, Lady Cougar-Trombone, Nicole0725, raenbc, Rodrigo, and StripedFuzzySocks. I'm really grateful to you guys. You have no idea how your feedback and reviews mean to me. I am hugging you all in my mind - in a warm, totally normal, non-creepy kind of way. Thank you guys! :)
Now, the question that a few people had asked: are there going to be anymore tags for the season three episodes? Answer is...I don't know.
Please believe me when I say I'm not trolling you guys. This is not some scheme to build up suspense (I may be crazy online and in real life, but I know where to draw the line). Neither is it an act to petulantly beg for reviews. When I began this, I told myself that if I was ever fortunate enough to get a review for each chapter, I will be content. And if that was what happened, I think I may have been fine with that. The prime goals when I started this was to: (1)make sure I enjoy the show, and (2)share the love I have for the show by writing about it. I cannot take any credit for that mind blowing number up there for reviews. That's your work, guys. That's your generosity showing, and I'm very grateful for that.
There's no doubt how much I love this story. It's become a part of me, and just the thought of reaching fifty or even seventy-five chapters (if Disney XD kindly orders another season or a few more) has me looking forward to it. But as you can also tell, it's a little time consuming. I really wouldn't mind, but with my schedule looking a little hectic ahead and a few more stories I want to write, I'm just not sure if I'll have enough time.
I want to, and my crazy side is pushing me towards doing it anyways, but I'm not sure if season three tags are in order.
I hope you guys enjoy the season premiere tonight, anyways. It's going to be awesome! If my crazy side succeeds in kicking me off that cliff of writing on, then I'll see you guys in a week or two. If not, please continue supporting the show and keep on sharpening those observation skills. :)
Have a great Monday!
- Shaine :)
