"Come on! Come on! We are going to be late!" Julie exclaimed pulling Natlie's hand towards the car.

"No we're not Julie, just be patient! Hold on. I need to grab the keys. Ouch! Julie stop. Stop! Let go!" she was able to squirm her way out of her daughters iron grip after stepping on a Lego on the ground and tripping over some shoes.

She quickly grabbed the car keys and her cell phone and walked out to the car where Julie was already sitting. She looked at her watch and figured out they were going to be late. She turned the keys and sped down the street towards the famous Bart's and Kimberly's Circus.

KKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK

The plan was going perfectly.

Brandon already arranged with Christina that she would be lined up with the ending platform when he stopped the band so she would step off the line. Since she was a tightrope walker it would seem like an accident, especially since her act is that she walks the tightrope blindfolded-- with no net.

She had his trust completely because they have always had little plans like that to make sure she was safe. This time it was a secret though. Everyone else in the circus thought that she had a little peak hole in the blindfold- and that is how they usually did it too.

Soon, he thought, I will be able to start a brand new life with Katie, and Christina will be—no more, and with that he let out a laugh that cut through the silence like a knife in his dressing room.

KKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK

Adrian was worried. Natalie told him that Julie and her were going to a circus earlier in the week and she needed the day off.

Monk tried to reason with her. He told it was a bad idea. Then he told her about all the germs and the clowns and the lions and the traipse artist.

She wouldn't budge. So they went to the circus.

Adrian sat on the couch for a moment thinking about all the things that could go wrong.

Then he looked around and was horrified to see a smudge on the window. He quickly went to get a rag and some Windex.

KKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK

Natalie and Julie made it just on time. Natalie made sure they got very good tickets and were in the first row.

Once they took their seats the lights dimmed and drums rolled. Soon a single spot light lighted up the ring master. "Welcome, ladies and gentlemen, to the Bart's and Kimberly's Circus! My name is Rick the Ringmaster! And I would like to introduce you to some of my friends!" then the whole stage lit up and the band picked up a cheerful tune.

Then elephants, clowns, and lions came out and did a parade around the ring. Julie was really enjoying it. Natalie was really glad she bought the tickets.

KKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK

Christina wasn't too nervous for her act. She was so used to it now that she could do it with her eyes closed. Actually they were blindfolded- but it was just an expression.

As she was putting on blush she saw the door open and to her shock her mother stepped in. Christina was so surprised to see her she almost fell off her chair.

"Mom! Why- What are you doing here?" She asked standing up and walking over to hug her.

" Oh, I herd you were in town so I decided to see my number one daughter!" she said embracing her.

"Oh that's so nice of you- but you could have called- or knocked at least." Her mother chuckled.

"Your on in ten!" somebody called through the door.

Christina rolled her eyes. "I have to go."

"Oh, sorry for holding you up dear! I will see you in ten minutes!" and with that she walked out the door.

KKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK

Natalie was flicking through the little booklet they have been given and read out loud,
"First clowns, then traipse and then tightrope."

Julie's eyes lit up. " I love the traipse and the tightrope too! I can't wait!"

Then the clowns came out. "I hate clowns though, they are sort of scary." They did their little act and then the traipse artist came out. They did flips and twirls and they got many ohh's and aww's from the audience.

KKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK

Brandon was dizzy with nervousness. What if someone figured out that he purposely made her fall? What if she didn't fall in general? He just kept conducting the band and was practically counting down the seconds until Christina's final song.

KKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK
