Yin-yang
Hey, howdy hey! (Toy story joke. Pathetic I know.) Hope your all enjoying the story so far.
So, just to recap, Eric is on his way to Japan, Kate is starting to be accepted again, Lizzie is trying to
figure out her feelings, Gordo is on his way back to Hillridge, Nick Mayer, Eric's friend turned
enemy, is on his way to Hillridge to woo Kate and probably kill Eric, and Matt might have
something for Miranda. Come on people, if you didn't see the hint I dropped in the last chapter
about them, you really ought to get some professional help. No offense, but it is pretty obvious.
Right, this chapter will look into Miranda, Matt, starting with Matt. And just so you
know, I will not cover what happens to Eric in Japan as it's just a bunch of legal mumbo-jumbo that
I'm not good at explaining. I'll have Eric say what happened to him when he comes back.
I hope everyone had a happy New Year. I did. I played board games with my parents, my
sister and her boyfriend, and laughed at how stupid we are at Name Burst, Gestures, UNO attack,
and Taboo.
And Hacen, calm down! Don't blame yourself for something that was going to happen
wether you said anything or not. I've told you. I have the story planned from beginning to end. And
you didn't make an ass of yourself. Just so you know. It would be me that made an ass of himself as
I'm the one who made people think that Eric was Kate's only cousin. Speaking of that, what is
Kate's other cousin's name?
Two more things... does anyone actually use the song playback I have in this story? Because
if you don't, you should. The reason I say this is that all of the songs played in a chapter as you read,
were listened by me as I wrote them, and I felt that they really increased the feeling of the chapter.
The other thing I have to say is... if you want to get a realistic look at what Eric might really
look like, then go to the Incubus band site and watch the video for "Pardon me". Now take the look
of the lead singer and give him red hair and, presto! Eric James McKader!
Now I know I've rambled too long. Read the story already! Jeez!
All that's left Pardon me
Thrice Or Incubus
All that's left ?
Dear journal,
It's me, Matt. Long time no see. I saw Miranda today. God, I love her, but I'm too stupid to
tell her how I feel. Every time I try, my mouth drys up and I can't talk. When I saw her today, she
was out of breath. When I asked her what was wrong, she just threw a pillow at me and yelled at me.
I swear, one day, very soon, I will tell her how I feel. Well, until next time, see ya.
Matt.
Matt lay his journal down on his dresser and lain down to sleep and dream of the girl that
had taken his heart.
Earlier... Lizzie had just hung up the phone and looked at Miranda with her mouth open.
"What?"
"Eric just called. He said that the classes are going to have to be postponed for 3 months!"
"What!"
"3 months!"
"Why!"
"He said that due to a technicality, he had to go to Japan to fill out some paperwork."
"Japan?!"
"Japan!"
Miranda was in shock. They had only had 2 classes and now they had to wait for 3 months
before they got another lesson!
"Are you sure?"
"Yes!"
"What else did he say?"
"He asked me to find out why Kate wanted to learn karate."
At this, Miranda remembered what he had said on her way over.
"Lizzie. I bumped into Eric on my way here. He also asked me why Kate wanted to learn
karate."
"He did?"
"Yeah!"
"There must be something about Kate that has him worried about her, because when he
asked me to check up on her, He said he was worried about her being in physical danger."
"Do you think she might be in trouble?"
"I don't know Miranda. But I guess we had better find out."
They talked some more about Kate and her possible situation, or at least what they thought
might be a situation. The talk eventually went back to Eric and how Lizzie might have feelings for
him. Miranda could tell by the way she spoke of him, that Eric definitely had her best friends heart.
Now all Lizzie had to do was figure it out. At 9:00, Miranda left for home. When she got back to her
house, she started getting ready for bed. As she was lying down to sleep, she started to think about
Larry and how she would tell him that she liked him. That's what she was thinking consciously. But
when she slept that night, her dream was different than her thoughts.
She was sitting under the stars with Larry. They were leaning in closer for the big kiss.
When that was over, they went further along. Eventually, their clothes had found their way off of
their bodies. Miranda was lying there, spectacularly naked. Larry once again came in to kiss her on
the lips, this time with more passion than before. But when Miranda opened her eyes, she saw not
Larry, but Matt looking at her with passion blazing in his eyes. Miranda was about to say something
when Matt's lips pressed over hers cut her off.
Miranda woke up gasping in short breaths. Her hormones were in overdrive haywire. She
couldn't tell what she wanted anymore. She figured she'd better sleep on it. She layed back down
and fell into a dreamless sleep.
Meanwhile, back over at the McGuire's, Matt was actually having the same dream. Every
single detail was the exact same as Miranda's except that his started where he showed up in
Miranda's dream. When he awoke the next morning, he too was flushed and out of breath. He got
dressed for school and left with Miranda running around his head the whole day.
The same circumstances were with Miranda the whole day. She couldn't stop thinking about
Matt and the dream. She was so deep in thought the whole day, that she pretty much missed it. When
she got home she got on the phone and called Lizzie.
Lizzie had told the others over the phone that the classes were to be postponed for about 3
Months and their reactions were about identical to Miranda's. They were all shocked to hear that
there were not going to be any lessons for that long. But it seemed that Kate was the most surprised.
She sounded like she was having trouble comprehending it. Lizzie could also hear shouting in the
background, but she didn't know why there would be shouting in Kate's house. She knew she
needed to fulfill her favor to Eric and check on Kate. But first she had to answer the damn phone!
"Hello?"
"Lizzie?"
"Hey, Miranda. Look, Miranda I have to..."
"Lizzie, I think I might have a problem."
"What?"
"I think I might not like Larry at all."
"Really? Why?"
"I don't know. All I know is that last night I had this dream and..." She cut herself off mid
sentence.
"And?"
"And I was having sex with your brother."
"WHAT!?"
Miranda had to hold the phone away from her hear. After she was certain she wasn't deaf,
she put it back to her ear and continued talking, hoping that another outburst like that wasn't
imminent.
"I can't explain it. Last night, before I went to sleep, I was thinking of Larry. Then when I
fell asleep, I dreamt that me and Larry were sitting under the stars. We started kissing and then one
thing led to another, and then when he started kissing me again, he changed into your brother. It was
so strange."
Lizzie was too dumbfounded to speak. Her best friend had just told her she had a wet dream
about her little brother! Who would want to hear that?! She knew she didn't want to!
"Miranda, that was the last thing I needed to hear right now."
"I'm sorry but I needed to tell someone and you were the only one I could tell."
"It's okay, just don't start getting all lovey-dovey on Matt. At least not in front of me." She
added the last part slyly like it was a joke.
"It's not funny Lizzie!"
"Sorry. Well, look I have to go and check out Kate's like Eric asked me to."
"Alright. Bye."
"Bye."
Lizzie hung up and walked out of the front door hoping that Matt and Miranda wouldn't
start getting it on while she was around. She was also hoping that Kate was okay. If she really was in
physical trouble, then she would probably get hurt, and they didn't know enough to properly defend
themselves. She soon reached the front door of Kate's. With a deep breath she knocked on the door...
Miranda had hung up the phone and decided to watch a little t.v. Not that mattered. She
wasn't really paying attention to what was on. She was too busy thinking about you-know-who. She
wondered what Matt was doing right now...
"What was Matt doing at that moment? Hard to say as the author is too stupid to tell where
all of his people are at one time."
"You take that back you little freak."
"Why should I? I'm the narrator!"
"Bull. I'm the author so I say what happens and where people are at all times."
"Like hell! You are really something to think you are a great writer when your really just
some random speck of idiocy on a canvas of shit. Hey. What are you doing? Put that down! Put that
down! I SAID PUT THAT DOWN! PLEASE? I'LL SHUT UP! I'LL SHUT UP! I'LL" Thunk
"Sorry about that folks. Just had a bout with my alter ego. He shouldn't mess with this any
more. See, this is what happens when you type for too long. You get a little crazy. Any way back to
the story." "Ohhhh." Another loud THUNK! "Sorry."
Matt was over at Melina's for about an hour. He decided to go home around 6:30. He said
he had a lot of work to do. Jeez, I lie better than that. He really wanted to go home because he
thought that Miranda might come to the house. If he could see her, his day would be complete. Alas,
she was not there. Matt decided to go to his room and play on his computer. Maybe that would be
more fun.
The man that answered the door reminded Lizzie of a garbage man. He had short brown hair
that was graying and balding. He had a beer belly that was protruding out of his shirt by about 6
inches. His clothes were dirty and he smelled of liquor and cigarettes. When he spoke, he sounded
like a cement mixer with hardening cement still in it.
"What do you want?" He barked.
"Is Kate home?"
"Sure. Up the stairs. Last room on the left." He had this leer in his eyes. Like he had
remembered seeing Lizzie before. But they had never met before this.
"Thanks."
"Anytime."
At this, Lizzie looked at him with this confused look. This man was not to be trusted. When
she reached the door of Kate's bedroom, she knocked. A faint tear filled voice on the other side
sobbed, "Come in." Lizzie opened the door with her head filled with questions.
Once again, sorry to drop it there. But that was pretty long, so that should keep you satisfied
until the next chapter. I tell you, this was, by far the longest chapter I've written yet. As usual, read
and review. Until next time, kikiki... mamama... kikiki... mamama...
