A/N - Mixed responses this time. But thanks for all the feedback! Love it love it love it. I can't believe we have to wait til next fall for more OC! However will I survive?! Guess I'll just have to throw myself into my writing/reviewing. Onto the responses!

HOTTERTHNU- I've done better, eh? I guess that's a compliment. Whatever it is, it's constructive, so thanks! =)

BlueStarGirl - More, now! Here it is!

ally, aka BFF - Hey, thanks for sticking with this thru the hiatus!! Luv ya! LOL

benzbabidoll - I caught up on Ramifications..."hardcore", huh!? Yay! Yay! I've never been called "hardcore"! And today at work, some lady said I look like "that girl on television who talks to God"...I'm assuming she meant of Joan of Arcadia, so yay again! She's purty! LOL

Camden-Fan - I am trying to keep these even THIS long, so I doubt I'll be able to make them any longer, but I am trying to keep them churned out at a quick pace. Thanks for appreciating it anyway =)

fanficgirl1 - I am glad I didn't let you down! I know, there's nothing about Luke's bros. Well, now there is! =)

(Hailey's POV)

Well, this is lovely

Dad's on trial for attempted first degree murder

And he thinks my being a stripper is an embarassment

KiKi, if anyone, should be the letdown of the family

She's normal

How dare she.

Apparently,

Dad cut some pretty boy's brake lines

And almost killed him

He lived, though

Thank God

Or Daddy'd be put away for sure.

I don't know if he'll be able to weasle his way out of this one

Then again, he's got his weasely wife too

And their weasely little bun in the oven

If it's even his

He must really be scared that it's not

Or he wouldn't have try to annihilate the only other possibility

Ha

What am I saying

The only other possibility?

The only guy in Orange County that's not a candidate

Is Sandy

The lawyer of the pretty boy...Luke? I think...

Like sand through the hourglass...

You know the rest.
