Note: I know it's been awhile. Boy, has my life been busy. I'm hoping that it will calm down soon. Again, all of these characters except for the ones that I made up belong to FFC and Higher Ground (well no duh.) Please review - I know it's not much.

A month later…

Shelby and Lizard are friends again. Everything is going pretty good…

Shelby: hey Lizard! Peter wants to talk to you!
David: OO! What did ya do this time?
Daisy: shut up David!
Auggie: Dude, you're still chopping wood from the last time you got busted!
Lizard: well thanks for announcing it to the entire world, Shelby. ::smiles:: yep, I'm just a big trouble maker.
David: well that's obvious.
Lizard: why thank you.
Juliette: you'd better go find out what Peter wants.
Lizard: yeah. Wish me luck.

In Peter's office…

Lizard: (sarcastic) Your highness wished to speak to me?
Peter: ::small smile:: Sit, Lizard.
Sophie: As you know, you've been with us for about two months. And at this time we allow a family member to come and visit you.
Lizard: (sarcastic) oo! Fun fun!
Peter: I knew you'd be happy.
Lizard: I'm surprised my grandmother is even making the effort. She doesn't tend to deal with lost causes.
Peter: Lizard, you're not a lost cause. You've made great progress in the past two months.
Sophie: But your grandmother has a conflict so she will be unable to come.
Lizard: you mean she was too busy to visit her only granddaughter, right?
Peter: Now Lizard! You're grandmother cares very deeply for you, she sent you here because she was worried about you.
Lizard: you mean she was worried about her reputation, don't you?
Peter: No, I don't.
Lizard: So that means that no one is coming to visit. Wow. You had to drag me all the way into your office to tell me that?
Peter: No. You will have a visitor.
Lizard: Who?
Peter: Your uncle Mike has graciously offered to take your grandmother's place.
Lizard: (all the color drains out of her face) Mike?
Sophie: Is something wrong? You look pale, do you feel alright?
Lizard: No. Nothing's wrong. (pauses) Well I do feel a little sick. Could I go lay down for a while?
Peter: Ok. We can talk about this later.
(Lizard exits.)
Sophie: did you see her body reaction when you told her that her uncle Mike was coming? What do you think that means?
Peter: (shakes his head) I don't know. But I bet we'll find out soon enough.

Until next time… :P
