Nikki woke up. At first she had no clue what happened. Then it started to come to her. This was Jason's bed. She wasn't wearing anything. Oh no. It all clicked.

Jason walked in. "Hey, Babe. You're finally awake."

"Where are my clothes?" asked Nikki. She wrapped Jason's comforter around her.

"Uhhhhh… You know what?" said Jason. "That is a very good question."

"I'm serious," said Nikki.

"I'm serious too," said Jason. "All I remember is you kissing me, me taking you up here, and that crap. I have no recollection of where I put your clothes."

"Can you look for them?" asked Nikki.

"Sure," said Jason. "You can borrow my clothes, though." He pulled out a muscle shirt and sweatpants and tossed them at Nikki. "Anyways, Maddie's making breakfast."

"Slade let you do all this? He's letting us be comfortable?" asked Nikki.

"Slade doesn't know," admitted Jason. "He's in Peru right now stealing some Incan jewel. Anyways, I love you."

"You don't even know me," said Nikki. "And do you even think? I could be pregnant or something and it's all your fault!"

"Nikki Baby, you didn't stop me," said Jason. "And you started it."

"No I didn't," said Nikki.

"You kissed me first," said Jason.

"Well, you took off my shirt first, which by the way, is still MIA," said Nikki.

"You're such a drama queen," said Jason. "And Maddie's gonna eat our pancakes."

"Okay," said Nikki. "Get out so I can get dressed."

"Fine," said Jason. He got out and went downstairs to talk to Maddie.

"So," said Maddie.

"So what?" asked Jason.

"What happened?" asked Maddie.

"What are you talking about?" asked Jason.

Maddie held up Nikki's clothes.

"Oh," said Jason. "Hey, there they are! Nikki asked me to look for those! Thanks Maddie!"

Then Maddie held up Jason's heart-print boxers.

"Hey, those are my lucky boxers!" exclaimed Jason. "Gimme those!"

Maddie tossed them at Jason. "Anyways, I hope you used protection."

"Uh, I forgot about that," said Jason.

"Can you finish the pancakes for me?" asked Maddie. "I need to talk to Nikki."

"I can't cook," whined Jason.

"Just flip them over until they're brown on both sides," said Maddie.

"Okay," said Jason, not looking too okay.

Maddie went to Jason's room. Nikki was making Jason's bed.

"I found these," said Maddie, handing Nikki her clothes. "Although I bet you like wearing Jason's clothes."

"He told you?" asked Nikki.

"No, I found your clothes and his boxers on the stairs," said Maddie. "I thought you barely knew him."

"Why do you care? You hate me, remember?" said Nikki.

"No, I forgave you," said Maddie. "And you didn't even use protection."

"Shut up!" said Nikki. "Sorry. I'm such a bitch. But you sound like my mother."

"You're not pregnant are you?" asked Maddie.

"I sure hope not," said Nikki. "My parents would kill me and there's no way I'm getting an abortion, because that's just mean."

"If we ever get rescued," said Maddie. "Why can't you use your Nightstar powers or whatever?"

"Slade must've put a disabler on the house," said Nikki. "I've tried."

"Oh," said Maddie. "Does your cell have reception?"

"No," said Nikki. "Slade must've screwed that up too."

"Crap," said Maddie. "Well, Jason's probably done with the pancakes. Wanna go eat?"

"Sure," said Nikki.

They went downstairs. Rather than pancakes, they saw weird flat things with no definite color.

"Breakfast is ready," said Jason, gesturing to the pancakes.

"That's breakfast?" asked Nikki and Maddie simultaneously.

"Yup," said Jason. "It's delicious."

Nikki and Maddie tried some. They instantly spit it out.

"What the fuck is this shit?" asked Nikki.

"Pancakes," said Jason.

"This is not the batter I prepared," said Maddie, wiping her tongue off with a napkin.

"I know," said Jason. "Yours was boring, so I made new batter. There's ketchup, orange juice, an extra egg, mustard, cheese, bleu cheese dressing, sugar, and salt."

"EWWWWWWWWW!" exclaimed Nikki.

"Ew is right," said Maddie. "None of that stuff belongs in pancakes. Is there any cereal?"

"Yeah," said Jason, getting out Cinnamon Toast Crunch.

Halfway through their edible breakfast, the phone rang.

"Hello?" answered Jason. Pause. "Oh, hi boss!" Pause. "The girls? Oh they're in the hostage room." Pause. "Okay, boss. Bye."

"What?" asked Nikki.

"Slade's coming back," said Jason. "You two should get to the hostage room or we'll all be dead."

Kayla was getting ready to meet Zach, Ryan, Toby, and Kyle at the mall when her phone rang.

"Hello?" she said.

"Hey, Kayla, it's Ryan. Can Crystla help find our sisters?" asked Ryan.

"Whatever," said Kayla. "Bye."

Stupid Ryan Grayson. He made Kayla sooooooooooooo mad sometimes. Like the time he put a beetle in her lunch in second grade. Or the time he had to work with her on a project in seventh grade, trashed her room, and got her grounded for a month. Or in eleventh grade when Kayla wore a long skirt to school and Ryan stepped on it, causing it to fall down and the entire school to see her butt, including stupid Kyle Thomas, Zach Scott, and Toby Bradford, who wouldn't shut up about it for a while. Oh well. Once Nikki and Maddie were home, Kayla wouldn't have to work with the Idiot Squad or any of their popular girlfriends. Yes!

"Mom, I need the car!" said Kayla. Without waiting for a response, Kayla got into her Solara and drove to the mall.

Although Kayla had hoped they would ditch her, Zach, Toby, Kyle, Ryan, and Crystla all waited for her in front of Starbucks just like they said they would. They were all slurping strawberries and cream frappucinos.

"Hi, Kayla," said Zach. "Want one?" He offered Kayla a frappucino.

"Thanks," said Kayla. She took the frappucino from Zach and started drinking it. "So has anyone found out anything?"

"Well," said Toby, "I talked to the people at that ice cream place. The sprinkles in the ice cream weren't theirs. They said a blond, surfer looking boy asked them to put them in. I got the leftovers and asked the science geeks to further analyze them."

"We're in college now," said Crystla. "They're socially acceptable now."

"Yeah," continued Toby. "They found a sleep powder in it."

"Interesting," said Zach. "Anyways, you all know Maria Jones right?"

"Yeah," said Ryan. "She gives good blowjobs. (Crystla gives Ryan an evil look) What about her?"

"In the tape, she's sitting at a table right next to where Nikki, Maddie, and Jason Wilson are sitting. But when I talked to her, she looked at me like I was stupid or something," said Zach.

"You are stupid," said Toby.

"I'm serious," said Zach.

"I'm serious, too," said Toby.

"You're mean," said Zach.

"You're both idiots!" said Kayla.

"True," said Kyle.

"Hey!" said Zach and Toby.

"Anyways," said Kayla. "Jason Wilson is a runaway orphan."

"Is he related to Slade Wilson?" asked Crystla.

"Who cares?" said Kayla.

"Well, duh! Slade's kidnapped Nikki before. Maybe if you weren't in your 'the world hates me' phase, you would have known!" said Crystla.

"Well, at least I'm not Miss Popular Snob, like you!" said Kayla. "You wanna hear what you sound like? 'Oh my god, my daddy is like so like totally like rich! And I am so like totally like pretty!"

"At least I don't sound like this: 'I hate my life! No one cares about me! Everyone's sooooooooo snobby!" replied Crystla.

"You two, stop insulting each other!" said Zach. "I don't care how much you hate each other, try to fucking get along!"

"Watch your language!" yelled a woman. She pulled her 6-year-old son out of the area.

"Zach, stay out of this!" said Crystla.

"Leave Zach alone!" said Kayla.

"Why, do you like him or something?" asked Crystla.

"That's none of your business!" said Kayla. She pushed Crystla into a waterfall.

"Kayla, can you help me up?" asked Crystla. She grabbed Kayla's hand and pulled her into the fountain next to her.

"We need to do something," said Ryan. Zach, Kyle, and Toby nodded.

Zach and Toby pulled Kayla out of the water and Ryan and Kyle got Crystla.

"Fur wearer!" yelled Kayla.

"It's faux," corrected Crystla. "And at least I'm not a dumb blonde!"

Kayla tried to whack Crystla with her purse but Zach grabbed it from her.

"Bitch!" yelled Kayla.

"Whore!" yelled Crystla. They both walked out of the mall.

"Well that went well," said Kyle sarcastically. The others nodded silently.

It wasn't until he got home that Zach noticed he still had Kayla's purse. Shit! He had meant to give it back. Now Kayla was gonna think he was some kind of thief. It was already bad that she thought he was an idiot.

He had to return it. Before he did anything else.

The purse kept tempting him to look inside though. So Zach finally gave in.

He found Kayla's driver's license, a credit card, a debit card, $50, and a pink and black striped diary.

Zach opened it.

'Don't do it Zach,' said angelic Zach. 'You're a good person. That's a book of Kayla's most treasured secrets!'

'Yes, Zach, open the diary,' said demonic Zach. 'Read all Kayla's secrets!'

'No, no, no!' said angel.

'Yes, yes, yes!' said demon.

"Go away," said Zach. Angel and demon vanished.

Zach began reading.

Dear Diary,

My life stinks. I have to work with the stupid Idiot Squad! They are sooooooooooooooooooooooo annoying! Well I have to admit I don't mind working with Zach though. Maybe if I'm lucky I'll faint and he'll have to carry me. Of course then I won't be awake to feel his hands on me. Oh well. He would never like me though. He already has the snobs chasing after him. I bet he likes one of them. Oh well.

Zach closed the diary. He had no idea Kayla liked him. He flipped to another page.

Mrs. Zach Scott

Mrs. Zachary Scott

Mrs. Kayla Scott

Mrs. Kayla M. Scott

Mrs. Kayla Michelle Scott

Mrs. Kayla F. Scott

Mrs. Kayla Fisher Scott

Mrs. Kayla M. Fisher-Scott

Mrs. Kayla Michelle Fisher-Scott

"Whoa," said Zach. It was a little freaky, but now he knew what he had to do.

Okay, so sorry it took forever. Anyways, about the Kayla vs. Crystla thing. In sixth grade, a bunch of Crystla's friends bullied Kayla a lot all the way until high school started. Kayla was mad that Crystla didn't stand up for her and Crystla thinks it was none of her business.

Poll:

1) What did you like and what did you hate?

2) How many more chapters before Nikki and Maddie are found?
