Hey everybody! Long time no speak! I have a lot to account for – I have been very, very bad. I've had this operation on my eyes and I've had a lot on at school so I've left Roses abandoned, and I apologise for that. Seriously, I do.

I swear.

But now the Christmukkah holidays are over and I have my exams coming up and since I am such a freak, writing relaxes me and gets rid of my stress, so I can write, write, write and possibly write some more if I don't get hand cramp by then. And I decided, I'm not going to return to Roses because I'd run it into the ground, because I really can't be bothered with it right now. I'm only going to return to Roses when I really want to – so I can give it 100.

So as an antidote to the anti-Roses I am starting a new story, and this is it. 'Because I Can' is my new project, and I'm going to introduce you to the characters. THIS IS A SEQUEL TO TAKE ME AWAY, so I guess you should maybe read that one first, not that you need to, but if you have, you'll have a lot more insight than someone who doesn't.

And we all love to know more than other people, don't we?

Makes us feel superior and über-cool.

Or is that just me?

So here's a full summary of Because I Can:

ZoeyBGirl's Blog (private) – Entry Number 46

This afternoon was totally crazy. We were all watching Summerland (I know, but Nicole loves Jesse McCartney so we all have to watch it or suffer her wrath) and my phone rings. Maybe this is the first weird thing, I mean, my phone never rings, and when it does ring, it's usually the people all sitting around me watching Summerland that are calling. And they weren't calling.

Duh.

So I picked up, and would you believe it was Rebecca Sinclair? To tell you the truth, we'd all just started to get over the departure of all of them, which you, dearest blog, already know, since I've told you about me and Chase and Logan and (insert female name here). And Nicole had even began crushing on people again. I don't think she even remembered Nate anymore. And then suddenly, here were these stupidly gorgeous people in our lives again. Of course, I didn't say anything at the time because I didn't want anyone to get upset or crazy, so I just talked to Rebecca, careful not to say her name at any point in case any of the group noticed. And guess what?

Her mother is apparently on the brink of depression in Australia, threatening her husband with divorce unless they move back to the US. And of course, since Mr Sinclair and Mr Williams are business partners, where the Sinclairs go, the Williams go. They're staying in the Four Seasons in NYC just now because Kristen wanted to get some hair extensions (I hope her hair has grown back).

"Can you believe it!" She screeched, "We're coming home!"

And I told everybody. And they all went mental. Nicole started screaming and shrieking at the top of her lungs with the widest smile across her face, everyone else was smiling and celebrating. Logan disappeared to go tidy his room incase any of them just magically appeared I suppose. Weird, I know.

So everyone's getting prepared. And I don't mean just the group. I suppose you remember Rebecca, Kristen, Nate and Art being like, the most popular people at PCA. Ever. And the whole of PCA, even Dean Rivers, is freaking out about making the place absolutely perfect for their return.

And I'm looking forward to it. I guess. – Z x

The day comes which the whole of PCA have secretly been dreaming about. The Four Wonders – Rebecca, Kristen, Art and Nate – are returning to PCA. For good? But with everyone so eager to please them, how are they going to cover up the less than loyal and admirable life they'd all been leading in their absence? And will The Four Wonders find out how much everyone really did miss them?

Did anyone miss them at all?

Please don't hate me for ending Roses, because Roses isn't over, it's just on a hiatus. It's in progress. I will return to it eventually, I promise. But for now, enjoy the first chapter of Because I Can…
