I definitely didn't wait until eight hours before my deadline, what, no, what are you talking about, haha, that's ridiculous-

FINE I'M A PROCRASTINATOR, YOU HAPPY!?

[Later edit: Oh wait, it's the 31st. I missed the deadline. But I thought today was the 30th, because it's quarantine and I don't know the date.]

In my defense, I had a Bat Mitzvah, so there. And afterwards, I got to see Glitterbutt23! Like, in person! :) :) :) She's doing well, although she is going insane from quarantine, as we all are. I didn't ask about Fanfiction, but I don't think she's planning on coming back on. Oh well. Just letting you guys know that, although she disappeared off the site, she is still alive! (For now.)

Okay, yeah, no one cares about my ramblings. Onto the story! Which I will also attempt to do without an actual copy of the book, because it's aLL THE WAY ACROSS MY ROOM, ON MY BOOKSHELF.

I'm really lazy, if you couldn't tell.

KOTLCFan42: Don't die! But thank you! I'll try to be fast (no I won't).

Harryscuzin: Ugh, neither do I. Zoom kept telling my that I had to update to Zoom 5.0, but fAILED TO EXPLAIN HOW EXACTLY I WAS SUPPOSED TO DO THAT.

FosterJacksonPotter: I guess? Well, I say they can. And I am always right. So they can.

L: Cool! My favorite is the ARGH-I-CAN'T-CHOOSE-th. But not Flashback. I remembered you saying that you hadn't read it yet, so the non spoiler was primarily for you. She totally is! She's even oblivious to her oblivion- wait, now I'm confused. Anyway. Forkle's death surprised me more, but his twin thing shocked me even more. Thanks!

Okay, enjoy!

"I hate technology," Sophie announced. After 29429382472109 tries, she had finally connected to Zoom successfully.

"Hey!" Dex protested.

"Oh. Sorry, Deck."

Dex nearly exploded. "IT'S DEXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX! DEX WITH AN X!"

"Is it just me, or does that sound like the title for a really terrible movie?" Fitz said. "Deck with an X."

Dex actually exploded after that.

"Um, is that possible?" Tam asked the ultimate fangirl.

She shrugged. "Probably not," she admitted, and un-exploded Dex.

"This story makes no sense," said Biana.

"Wait, story?" asked Linh. The fourth wall exploded, but the ultimate fangirl made no attempt to un-explode that one.

"Okay," Sophie said, trying to bring the Zoom Book Club back to the topic of the book. "Neverseen was kind of a crazy book. How about we do favorite and least favorite parts?"

No one responded, because she had muted them all. Most of the time technology was highly aggravating, but every so often it could be amazing.

Sophie answered her own question. "My favorite part was meeting Tam and Linh, because the rest of the book was very dark and sad and I generally hated it. But Tam and Linh are nice. So my favorite part was meeting them. And my least favorite part was when Keefe joined the Neverseen."

"Sorry," Keefe put into the chat, since Sophie had still muted him.

"It's okay," Sophie said out loud. "I forgive you. It was just very sad in the book. Keefe, you can answer next." She unmuted him.

"Okay, so, my favorite part was either the window sleepovers, because that was really awesome, or getting Mrs Stinkbottom, because Mrs Stinkbottom is pretty awesome," Keefe answered. "And my least favorite part was clearly the unstyled hair. Oh, that was so tragic! I'm ashamed!" Sophie knew that he probably had even lesser least favorites than that, but she decided not to push him. "And now, Mr. Stabbed-By-A-Bug can go! Hmm, maybe that was my favorite part..."

"Mute him, Sophie," said Fitz, clearly annoyed at being called Mr. Stabbed-By-A-Bug. Sophie obliged, but only because she was muting everyone when it wasn't their turn. "Well, my favorite part was clearly the cognate training! Or all the times your heart fluttered."

"MUTE HIM, FOSTER!" Keefe typed into the chat. Sophie rolled her eyes and did not oblige, but she did laugh.

"And your least favorite?"

"Getting stabbed by a bug, obviously," Fitz scowled. "Or maybe all the Team Foster Keefe in there. Oh, that was barfious indeed."

"Okay, first of all," Sophie said, "Barfious isn't a word."

"And like you and Sophie are any less barfious, Chandelier Head," Biana typed.

"Hey!" Fitz yelled.

"Your turn's over, Wonderboy!" Sophie cackled, definitely letting the power go to her head. "I'm muting you! Muahahahahahahaha!"

The next victim- I mean participant- was Biana, who very politely said "That's... not at all scary... um... anyway... my favorite part was when Dex and Keefe had to share a lufterator! That was amazing!"

Everyone else was laughing, apparently sharing Biana's sentiment about the lufterator. Everyone except Dex and Keefe, that is. Those two were clearly very annoyed.

"And also..." Biana paused for dramatic effect. "Keefex! I mean, Team Foster Keefe. But Keefex!"

Everyone else seemed to think that Biana had lost her mind. That is, everyone except the fangirls.

"We're so proud of you!" they squealed. "You're a fangirl! And not just any fangirl, a multishipping fangirl!"

"Um... okay," said Sophie. "Least favorite?"

"When Calla died," Biana answered sadly.

"That was mine too," Linh added to the chat.

Sophie unmuted Linh and muted Biana. "Good answer, you two. Linh, what was your favorite part?"

"Getting to meet you!" Linh decided. "You're a really awesome person and I'm glad I met you, even though it kind of resulted in a few near death experiences."

"Well, that's not false," Sophie muttered. "Tam?"

"My favorite part was also the lufterator," Tam agreed. "Mostly because it was funny to see Keefe embarrassed like that. Speaking of which, my least favorite part was meeting Keefe."

"Aww, you know you love me," Keefe added to the chat.

Sophie quickly muted Tam before he could start screaming at Keefe. "Okay, how about you guys argue in the private chat while I continue with a book club where we don't try to murder each other through Zoom? Marella, it's your turn."

"Well, I kind of liked the cognate stuff," Marella started. At Keefe's gagging gesture, she added "Not because I ship Fitzphie! Just because it was fun to watch them be super awkward. And my least favorite part was how I was barely in any of it."

"Sorry," Sophie apologized.

"I DON'T WANT TO HEAR ABOUT YOUR IRRELEVANCE PROBLEMS," Dex typed.

Proving Dex's point, Sophie said "Okay, I think that's everyone..."

Luckily, Dex's Technopathy made him able to unmute himself. "I WILL BE RELEVANT!" he screamed.

Sophie stared at him. "Who's this? I thought the meeting was password protected!"

"Okay, first of all, the password was 'password,'" Dex argued.

"I thought I told you to make it '4thwallbreak," Biana typed.

"I like Biana's better," Dex continued. "But also, I was literally the second person in this meeting that you met, and I was on the cover of the first book, and I was supposed to be your best friend, oh, and also I was your first kiss."

"Oh. Right. My mistake," Sophie said, remembering (even though she had a photographic memory... so how could she forget in the first place? Dex is just that irrelevant, I suppose). "What's your answer?"

"Well, my favorite part was making the Twiggler, because I was relevant for once. And my least favorite part was... hmm... probably when Fitz was stabbed by the bug."

"BUT THAT WAS HILARIOUS!" Keefe typed.

"Well, kind of, but I... didn't want him to die? Even though I hate him," Dex quickly assured them.

"Sure," Biana typed, smirking.

"HOW MANY SHIPS DO YOU HAVE!?" Tam typed.

"Um... a lot?" Biana replied.

"Okay, well, that was a great meeting, guys!" Sophie announced. "See you next time for Lodestar!"

Woo hoo! I finally wrote something! It's terrible, but I finally wrote something! Same one-month deadline, I'll have Lodestar up by the end of June.

If I go at this rate, the Legacy read will come at the end of September, which makes it only a little over a month until I can type up a reading of Unlocked. Huh. That six month hiatus really helped that, huh?

Anywayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy...

Please review! :)
