A/N: My first Shannon POV, and probably my only one, seeing as she's such a minor character. Nothing personal for fans of her. Bad news is stories with her as narrator haven't been made in an audio book form yet. Still, enjoy.
Shannon.
Kristy had invited me and my sisters over to her place for dinner. We jumped at the chance. Soon, Tiffany, Maria and I had arrived, and Kristy had us settled in for a while.
We could hear David Michael talking with Stacey's soon to be stepbrother.
"So, up for a guide dog?"
"Ja. I know they aren't cheap, but-"
"Hey, no problem. Y'know, this reminds me of Louie."
"Who?"
David explained what had happened, including the incident at the dog show.
"Dog fight?"
"Yeah, tried to run, cut his paw on something. Kristy had to help me with that, while Andrew and Karen tried to wash the car."
"Ugh, not again." Andrew muttered.
"What? It's funny."
"What'd you expect? I was four, yeesh."
"Or the time Claudia and Mary Anne got a trifle mixed with a shepherd's pie." David Michael explained.
"Hey, blame Karen, she duct taped the pages, thought they were ripped."
All 3 soon cracked up, to Karen's annoyance.
"Ugh, boys."
Jackie hugged her.
"Relax."
Soon, as Tiffany and Maria were talking with Adam and Jordan, along with Byron and Charlotte, Mallory had me in conversation with her girlfriend.
Margaret was laughing about something.
"Honey?"
"Peacock."
"Huh?"
"That's what Claus calls Vanessa, Peacock."
"I don't get it."
"Old movie from the 30's."
She quoted then.
"They're going to make you one of them, my peacock."
"Freaks?" Mallory asked.
"How'd you know?"
"Dawn. They used real sideshow types."
"Thanks. Thanks for that."
Kristy had told me what had happened with Mary Anne and all. I couldn't believe someone would stoop that low, but, I'd do what I could to bring her to justice. Even Amanda's father agreed to help out, which made sense.
Kristy hugged him.
"You're hired." She joked.
Mary Anne, having seen the whole thing laughed.
This whole mess would have a happy ending, somehow I knew it.
