Hey, everybody! I got about seven reviews from you guys in the past 16 or so hours, so that's awesome, considering most of those hours were during the night! Keep up the awesome work!

Jquest87- I reek of awesomeness? I think that phrase is an instant classic. Thanks for the support… I definitely enjoy the drama, too…

be234therz- Isn't that, like, the worst thing that could happen? You don't even know that the other person is talking about something completely different? Definitely always makes for an interesting day.

AC- I know I've been driving you crazy, so I'm going to… make you wait. But next chapter (hopefully sometime tonight!), I'll definitely tell you guys! Thanks for putting up with me!

Thanks for the reviews, everybody! Keep it up, and you're still awesome!

As Phil watched Keely storm down the hall, he decided he wouldn't talk to her for a while…

Oh, wait. No, that wouldn't work. He had to sleep in the same room as her. So much for the cold shoulder. Alright, now he'd just have to talk to her and ask why she betrayed his trust.

But it would be cool if he didn't have to do that for a while, he realized, so he tried to stay away from his home away from home for that day. Or at least as much as he possibly, humanly could. He just needed some time to settle down. There was no way he could stay mad at Keely. She usually has good judgment, so she probably told Tia about him for a reason. Then again, Tia was not the best at keeping secrets.

But, it all came back to the fate thingy. What if everything that happens, happens for a reason?

These were questions Phil hated. These were the ones that he couldn't answer. Maybe he was fated to stay mad at Keely, but maybe he was fated to forgive her. Follow your heart, as far as he was concerned, was nothing but a load of bull. His brain screams no, but his heart cries proceed. There was no way to tell which one to listen to.

His heart- the one he wanted to listen to, the one that was madly in love with this girl.

His brain- the one he should listen to, the one that realized love spanning five generations was clearly not meant to be.

Such a mess he'd gotten into. All because they had to rent a used time machine so they could get a waterslide because Lloyd hadn't read the note Phil had dropped in the time capsule in 2005 because they rented a used time machine… Well, one can see how vicious the cycle is.

Mind over matter. Mind over (you don't) matter.

Keely was, again, talking on the phone to Tia. "I just can't believe he got mad at you," Tia was saying.

"I dunno," Keely muttered. "Phil's a touchy, feely, sensitive guy."

"Well," Tia continued, "all I know is that you put up with a lot from this guy… I would've given up hope long ago."

"Well, you don't know Phil like I do," Keely laughed.

"I think I do."

"Suit yourself," Keely said.

"Anyway, girl, you'd better get to practicing your songs. Battle of the Bands is tomorrow."

"I know… Well, bye. Talk to ya tomorrow."

"See ya."

Keely hung up the phone, and began to practice the keyboard, waiting for Phil to get back so she could explain a few things to him.

But Phil didn't show up until sometime during the night, because when she woke up, he was there, but when she fell asleep, he was still gone.

And when she came downstairs, he was already leaving the house.

It was almost as if he was avoiding her. But she couldn't imagine why that would be. She would've had to do something really nasty to get this kind of treatment.

Read and review! I love getting e-mail that isn't nothing or from myself!
