Katie, being in the indecisively low spirits that she was in, was basically being dragged around by her friends, especially Roxie who seemed to have had chocolate for breakfast. (Scary thought eh?) So Roxie would just stand beside her, eyes unfocused and she would giggle every so often, it was really beginning to creep Katie out, Roxie was like the innocent kid in those horror movies and then it turns out their the ones killing everybody. (My friends say that's what I'm like.) So Katie would just take some random thing she was pretty sure once she was back to her happy self she would think was cute and pay for it, and then Roxie would follow her.

"Roxie, don't you have your own shopping to do?" Katie asked with a sweat drop, the girl finally seemed to snap out of her sugar induced daze. "Oh right." She ran off, leaving a trail of dust behind. Katie turned around and sighed, and then she looked behind her and Roxie was there, in her arms she was carrying two bags. "How did you do that so fast?" Roxie shrugged and smiled. "Come on, we have so much more to do!" Roxie said as she grabbed onto Katie's hand and began dragging her around, Katie, who was very frightened when left alone with a super hyper Roxie, darted her head from side to side. 'Where the hell did Eve go?!'

Meanwhile Eve was looking over a bunch of tacky looking souvenirs, wondering which would be the most tasteful, although she doubted anything in her range of sight could be thought of as classy or elegant, so she chose a figurine of the Statue of Liberty, it was the more pleasing to the eye than the other objects and was most certainly more tasteful. 'Now I just need to find a few more things and I can leave, now where did those two go off to? Oh well, at least it's not me alone with an insane Roxie.' Eve thought with a grin.

Meanwhile Katie was sure she never wanted to go shopping again, well, she would be on hiatus for shopping for at least a week after this, maybe more, the point was, her feet hurt. 'Why am I still here? I have all the stuff I could ever want.' She ten saw a bright blur zipping around, stopping everyone once in a while to make sure Katie was still sitting at the bench where Roxie had left her. 'Oh yea, because she'll be able to catch me before I move two feet away.'

Michael being the calm, cool, (Cough.) collected guy he was, was acting as normally as possibly, which was really easy for him since all he had to do was act cool, way cool, and not listen to anything Emily or Judy said, which was really easy because he, frankly, didn't care what they said. Michael glanced at his watch. 'Almost time for lunch, goody.' He thought sarcastically with a roll of his eyes as Judy dismissed them for lunch. 'I am so good.' He thought with a grin. (Yes Michael, yes you are.)

Anyways, that's what Michael and Katie's day was like, poor Katie, dragged around by a hyperactive, sugar high girl, it's amusing, but sad. So when they finally got back to their hotel, Katie did not want to pack, she wanted to sleep, so she just fell on her bed, smiling as she felt sleep overcome her.

"Come on Katie, if you don't do it now you'll just have to do it tomorrow." Katie opened on eye and tried her best to glare at Eve, who was looking down at her in a mother hen type fashion. "I don't wanna." Katie mumbled back, but Eve knew the perfect things to ay. "It will cut into the time you have to spend with Michael." Katie blearily noticed she was right and began to fold and put away her clothes, fold, put away, fold put away, until she was finally done. 'And now to drop into the bliss of sleep and dream about.... How I'm going to tell Michael I have to leave tomorrow.' Katie frowned, she didn't want to leave, but she wanted to as well. 'Stupid conflicting urges!'

Katie went to sleep, but she did not dream, she just surrounded by black, she might have been asleep for a minute, or forever as far as she could tell, but she liked it, maybe she could sleep in peace, not worrying about tomorrow when she would have to leave.

Michael was worriedly tossing his baseball from one hand to the other. 'Is Katie going to leave tomorrow, or the next day?' Poor Michael, so confused, so lovable. 'I don't want her to leave.' (And the fan girls all say, AW! Fan girls: AW!) Michael pouted to himself as he got ready for bed, setting his alarm clock for seven in the morning. 'Training doesn't start till one tomorrow, I'll just go over to Katie's hotel, check up on her and ask her when she's leaving.'

Katie woke up, but decided to just stay in bed, she didn't want to leave, maybe if she stayed in bed and refused to get out, Eve and Roxie would just leave her here, it wasn't the most intelligent plan anyone had ever come up with, but it was a solution to her problem non the less, even if it wouldn't work. 'I just want to stay in bed all day long. Maybe I can be Sleeping Beauty and Michael can be my Prince Charming.' Katie drifted off on that thought, silly grin on her face.

Michael had woken up at seven, but people kept on interrupting his quest to go meet up with Katie, Emily reminding him training started at one, Judy reminding him training started at one, Judy reminding him that breakfast was the most important meal of the day and forcing him to eat something, Steve and Eddy reminding him the training was at one. As you could probably guess, Michael was really annoyed, by the time he finally got out of the training center/lab, it was nearly eleven o clock.

Katie was nervously pacing around the room, in one hour she would have to leave, one measly hour, and Michael wasn't here, hat if she left without him knowing, what if he felt abandoned, what if he never saw him again, what if-

"Katie. Michael's here." Eve said, Katie's attention snapped to the door where Michael was standing, Katie rushed to him and hugged him. "Thank goodness, I thought you might get here to late."

FASH: Next chapter will be the last, at least, that's my all powerful plan, and I am the authoress, I can do what I like.
