A/n—at the beginning of each chapter it says what day of the week it is. If it says 'Still ' that means the day of the week is the same as the day before it. (duh?) If it doesn't say 'Still' before it that means it is a new day. Please R&R!

I'm baaaa-aack! Did you miss me? If your shoutout isn't here it's because I can't read them. I'm really, really sorry. Something's weird with the review page for this story on my computer…
Erin Go Bragh- Bumlets seems like an aggravating guy, doesn't he? Like the kid of kid people just really want to hit in the face.
Coin- Hon, do you know the difference between fighting and having sex? It doesn't sound that way…

"How's the investigating going?" asking Skittery as we walked home today.
"Uncle Kloppman slipped up, he told me about them."
"Where are they?" Skittery queried thoughtfully.
I shrugged. "I don't know."
"Are you still going to try and find them?"
"For all I know they could be dead. I don't know what to do next."

"That's really…good Skitts. Thanks."
He beamed at my gratitude. "No problem. Anything for a friend."
"No, really. If you think it's putting too much pressure on you, y'know, to pull this together, I won't forget that you tried. That's what really matters." Please don't let him carry through with this!
"It's fine. I like helping out, it's really no problem," he insisted.
"You're sure you wouldn't rather be doing something else? What about Snoddy?" I took one final stab at getting through. His face grew stony before immediately flipping to excitement.
"I'm going to his house for dinner Friday. I'm going to meet his family."
"Are you excited?"
"You could say that."
A/n: Hello! Sorry it's so, so short compared to last chapter, but it had to be. Tomorrow's will be (hopefully) better. Are you glad I'm back? You'd better be (shakes fist threateningly). Review please!!!
