Review responses:
Korean Pearl: Thank you! It's OK, at least you reviewed. Sorry this chappie took so long.
East Coast Ryder: Thanks, sorry u had 2 wait such a long time 4 this chappie!
Mersang: Where does it say that in #19? Anyway, a ten year old is slightly easier to write so I'm going to use artistic license and stick to that. Thanks anyway 4 your review and alerting me to that mistake!
Triskit: Thank you!
LilManiac: Thank you! I think I reviewed your story: I can't remember now cos it's about a month ago!
Anonymous- cat: Thanks for telling me what you wanted to see; I really like it when people give me something I can improve. Glad you liked the extra bit when I put it in.
Okay people, I've had writer's block on this story, but I had to get something up for you. It's very bad, don't flame, the next chapter will hopefully be better. I know it's really short and horribly boring but it's better than nothing! Please R&R every1. I'm also thinking of making this a two part series: Part 1 (this story) ends at the end of #29. Part 2 is an AU plotline that I will tell you no more about now!
Arriving back at Karen's house some fifteen minutes later, I was greeted by her parents. Apparently, they thought she had been at a camp for a week, run by the Sharing, so I luckily did not need to explain that.
"How was camp?" Karen's mother asked me over dinner.
"OK," I replied, speaking what Karen would have said. "How's Sundance?" I asked, for way of avoiding answering a long string of questions about 'camp'. Sundance was Karen's pony.
"He's fine. Emma was taking care of him."
"Did she ride him?"
"Yes, she wrote everything she did with him down and left it for you."
Several days later, it was the end of the summer holidays and time for Karen to return to school. I wasn't to keen to go, in fact it was one of the only things Karen and I agreed upon.
(Aftran, isn't there some alien technology that could wipe my teacher's memory so she thought I was in school?) Karen whined as we walked down the street.
(You've been watching too much Star Wars,) I laughed. I was already starting to pick up human expressions, like a good Yeerk should do when in a host.
(Actually it was Men In Black. Emma wanted to watch it and it was boring me to death. It's about...)
(Karen, I can read your mind! You don't need to tell me!) I snapped.
(I know, but it annoys you, doesn't it,) she said smugly.
(Shut. Up.) I retaliated, my last ditch attempt at getting some peace.
The rest of the journey was taken up by Karen singing in her head (the most annoying song she knew) in an attempt to annoy me so much that I lost my patience.
(WILL YOU BE QUIET!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!) I screamed at her.
A successful attempt, then. I thought after working under Visser 3 and putting up with Leyan for so long I had infinite patience. Karen had, for the tenth time in two days, proved me utterly wrong.
(Never again,) I thought to myself. (I will never infest a ten- year old human girl again. They are infinitely annoying.)
(Oh, thank you,) Karen said sarcastically sweetly. If she had had control of her face she would have been smirking.
(I was talking to myself!)
(First sign of madness, that.)
(SHUT UP!!!!!!!!!)
Eventually we reached the school, at which point Karen finally shut up.
Okay, I know it was short, boring and rubbish, but I HAD WRITER'S BLOCK OK! ON TOP OF A REALLY BAD COLD! No flaming please, I know it's the worst chapter yet, but now I've defeated the writer's block! Yay!
Please review if you can manage to do it without flaming. I don't blame u if u want 2 flame, it is really bad. I need some advice on this so constructive criticism is very very welcome.
