Me: Wow, I haven't updated this in a while…
Iggy: -eyeroll- No use in stating the obvious, Bell. Just get to the point of this chapter
Me: The….point?
Iggy:…you do have a reason for writing it, don't you?
Me: Heh…define, 'reason'
Iggy: -facepalm-
Me: I'm just kidding. I have a few things that I need to tell you guys!
Iggy: Like?
Me: Well, for starters, I'M ALIVE!
Iggy: Damn…
Me: -glares-
Iggy: I mean, good to know!
Me: Alright, now that that's over with…onto the more important reason for me writing this chapter.
Iggy: There's a higher reason for updating other than telling people that you're alive?
Me: Uh-huh
Iggy: Enlighten me.
Me: Our anniversary.
Iggy: -stares-
Me: -grins-
Iggy: OUR WHAT?
Me: Our anniversary of when we first met. It has officially been over a year. In fact, we're very late in celebrating it
Iggy: …I'VE BEEN AWAY FROM THE FLOCK FOR A YEAR! S***!
Me: LANGUAGE! –whacks with herring-
Iggy:-facepalms continuously-
Me: Aw, come on, Iggy. We've had some pretty good times!
Iggy: Like what?
Me: Like…uh…our time in Mrs M's class!
Iggy: …you've gotta be kidding me!
Me: Heh…
-flashback-
Me: -stares at the paper- -slowly hits her pen against the table-
Iggy: Bell, quit it. It's annoying. -is resting his head on the desk-
Me: I can barely hear it, Ig!
Iggy: But I can!
Lola: Because you're blind.
Iggy: -proceeds to continuously hit his head on the table-
Me: Iggy, quit it. It's annoying.
Iggy: -sits up- -glares-
Mrs M: BE QUIET!
Me: -clenches fists- Who's bright idea was it to have an HOUR LONG English period?
Lola: The year sevens (A/N: Australian translation – Year sevens = freshmen)
Me: Damn them. What are you doing?
Lola: Playing with your rub out pen
Me: -shrugs- -leans over- -starts rubbing out pen marks on Lola's book- This is amazingly entertaining…
Mrs M's: Why are you touching her work!
Me: I was just rubbing out something…
Mrs M: She can do that herself! Stop it!
Me: …-clenches fists-
Iggy: -growls-
Mrs M: O_o Iggy!
Me: -kicks Iggy under the table-
Iggy: OW!
Mrs M: Be quiet, Iggy!
Iggy: -mutters something rude- -drops head onto desk again-
Me: -sigh- -is really annoyed and pissed off- So, now what?
Iggy: -shrugs-
Me: Would this be a good time to talk about our-
Mrs M: (insert Bell's real name here), If I have to ask you to be quiet one more time, I will move you.
Me: …
Iggy: -sigh-
Lola: So…what do we do now? Kill her?
Me: …You know, against our other options, that's sounding pretty damn good right about now.
Iggy: I just realised something!
Me: What?
Iggy: She could be an Eraser in disguise!
Lola: Erasers aren't this bad. They're not dictators. She can't be one.
Iggy: You're right. I haven't been in this much pain mentally since I was at the school.
Me: -holds back laughter- So she's worse than a Whitecoat?
Iggy: Never thought that I'd say this…but yeah.
Me: No surprise there.
Lola: So…kill?
Me: Uh…-sigh- No.
Iggy: Awwww…
Me: -facepalm- Iggy, if you really want to kill her, go ahead. But I'm not gonna be the one to get in trouble.
Iggy: Damn. Fine then.
Lola: You could be like Dexter and cut up her body parts and throw them into the ocean…
Me and Iggy: O_o
Lola: What? It was just a suggestion.
Iggy: Okay…
Me: -shrug- -begins writing a Fanfiction in her notebook-
Mrs M: Bell, what are you doing now?
Me: I'm writing…
Mrs M: You're what?
Me: …writing.
Mrs M: Well put it away! Put it right away, I don't want to see it.
Me: -blinks- -slides book under her others- -is now really, really angry-
Iggy: Uh…Bell?
Me: …
Iggy: Bell?
Me: ….What?
Iggy:…
Me:…
Iggy: Nothing
Me: -facepalm-
-end flashback-
Me: That was so much fun!
Iggy: No…it wasn't.
Me: -sigh- you're right...
Iggy: That was my least favourite part of the year that I've known you!
Me: Well, fine! What was your favourite part?
Iggy: Hmm…
-flashback-
Me: Fine…I…admit it…
Iggy: What was that?
Me: I….admit it…
Iggy: Admit what, Bell? I didn't quite hear you!
Me: I…I…
Iggy: Bell, say it, say it.
Me: I…was….wrong…
Iggy: And?
Me: And…you were…right…
Iggy: YES! -punches air-
-end flashback-
Me: THAT NEVER EVEN HAPPENED!
Iggy: …it did too!
Me: Did not. I don't lie much. I'd admit if I was wrong easily! Geez!
Iggy: …damn…
Me: So, what, you're saying that you've had no good moments with me?
Iggy:…Yeah, pretty much.
Me: -eyeroll- Oh, come on! -thinks back to fun times- (AN: The next few little quotes are from various chapters of IR. This is our anniversary so I was kind of thinking back. If you'd rather not re-read them, skip down to where they finish. Thanks :))
"Iggy: -grins evilly-
Me: Now that doesn't look too good...
Mrs T: Bell, stop talking and watch the movie!
Me: But...Iggy-
Mrs T: SHH!
Iggy: -continues to grin evilly-"
"Me: You can stay at my house if you want
Iggy: hmm...I'd rather not
Me: Or you could sleep in the park...
Iggy: That doesn't sound too bad, I've done it before...
Me: All by yourself...at night...with no-one on watch...no-one to protect you from flyboys or M-Geeks...
Iggy: Your house it is!
Me: -smiles evilly at my powers of persuasion- Okay, let's get home so I can explain the situation to my mom - sighs-
Iggy: I finally get a warm bed to sleep in
Me: Yep"
"Iggy: What the hell is that? –Points in random direction-
Me: What? What is it...Wait a minute...
Iggy: -snickers-
Me: -whacks- God, I hate that trick! My friends run around shouting-
Iggy: NO! It's okay, I know what they shout!
Me: Okay...They yell out a rude word and see how many people turn to look
Iggy: And the trick never gets old!"
"Me: The movie finished so now we're playing Pictionary on the whiteboard
Iggy: Okay then, so the topic is movies?
Me: Yep, and the last one was Narnia but the idiot that drew the picture put five kids instead of four...stupid kid...
Iggy: I should be good at this game!
Me: -smacks forehead- you can't see the pictures on the board!
Iggy: Oh, right...but if you tell me what's on the board, I might know the answer...or, better yet, you can just tell me the answer!
Me: But that will ruin the game!
Iggy: Whatever, it would be fun for me!
Me: -starts banging head on the table continuously-
Iggy: Umm, Bell, what are you doing?
Me: What does it look- sound like I'm doing?
Iggy: Banging your head on the table?
Me: Good guess –continues to bang head on the table-"
"Iggy: -takes small step backwards before punching Damon in the face, completely knocking him out-
Class: -cheers really loudly-"
"Me: I don't get this Uncle Ian guy! He's such a, a, a...
Abbie: Prick!
Iggy: Yeah! He isn't uncle Ian any more...he's Uncle Prick!"
"Shelby: But I'm the best friend :D
Iggy: And your point is?
Shelby: I'm the best and you can never beat that
Me: Exactly, you aren't as cool as Shelby and you never will be
Iggy: Oh really? Can she build bombs, pick locks and cook?
Me: Well no but-
Iggy: HA! Well, I am cooler!"
"Heather: -laughing hysterically- I can't believe that you fell for the fake ransom note?
Me and Iggy: -glares at her-
Me: You are so dead!
-Iggy and Bell chase her around the house-
-half an hour later-
-back up in Bells room-
Iggy: So, I guess Max isn't coming for us?
Me: Nope. I hate my little sister sometimes!
Iggy: -growls- Me too..."
"Me: Did you just sigh because I sighed?
Lola: No...maybe...yes...
Iggy: -sighs-
Lola: - sighs-
Iggy: -sighs-
Me: OH GIVE IT UP!
Iggy: -snickers-
Lola: -sighs-"
"Iggy: -sighs- She's just really bored and wants something to do with all her new spare time...
Me: Well, uh, I...yeah, I do
Iggy: Did...d-did you just a-agree with me!
Me: Uh...CRAP! We just agreed on something!
Iggy: THE APOCALYPSE IS HERE! ARGH!"
"Mrs S: Don't do that! It's bad for your brain cells!
Me: -snaps pen in half- I think that her brain cells are lonely. Maybe I should donate some...
Iggy: -chuckles-"
Me: See, we've had some great times! And these are only from the first 13 chapters! I don't always pick on you and we actually get along!
Iggy: -sigh- Fine, I admit it…we're…friends?
Me: Yeah…let's go with that :D:D:D:D:D:D:D
Iggy: Okay…
Me: HAPPY ANNIVERSARY IGGY! -hugs really tight-
Iggy: Yeah…back at ya… -hugs back-
Rain: -appears- HAPPY ONE YEAR ANNIVERSARY! -smooches Iggy- -disappears-
Me and Iggy: 0_o
Me: Oookkkaaaayyyy…-makes note to talk to Rain later-
And, Speaking of Rain…
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY DEAR RAIN!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU!

Iggy: So…this is a birthday/anniversary chapter rolled into one?
Me:…Yeah, pretty much :D
Iggy: Happy Birthday Rain :)
Me: :D:D:D:D:D:D:D
Okay, now that that's over with, I think that this chapter has gone on long enough…
Iggy: It's filled with pointless crap…not really a chapter
Me: -shrug- By capturing you I've met a whole lot of amazing people that I wouldn't trade for the world. It's a special occasion for me
Iggy: You gonna name them?
Me: Skype Crew, if you're reading this, YOU ARE THE MOST AMAZING FRIENDS EVER! Thanks for being there for me for over a year now :D:D:D
