Disclaimer: Well, I don't only any actual Harry Potter characters or JKR's plot. I do own all the Americans and such and their situations. Oh yeah, and I don't own Dance Dance Revolution… you'll understand later.

Author's Note: cries I'm soooooo sorry that I've taken soooooo long to post again! I swear, it's not my fault! All of my teachers gave me reports! It was soooo not fun! But l'anyhoodle, this chapter is okay, but it's long. I probably missed where I ended the chapter, but when I counted, there were like 25 pages for me to type (but then again, that's with me handwriting it). Like the last chapter, I may try and divide this one up too. Sorry if some of the fonts I used don't work. Like, I tried using accent marks for Spanish, but I don't know how those worked out... So anyway, on with the story!

Phoenix and Fred Apparated back onto the Bosworths' cul-de-sac. They walked back inside. Everyone was still in the family room. They were all comparing Quidditch and Quadpot.

"Oh my god! Fred's still alive! Dammit!" Kelly exclaimed when she saw the couple standing in the doorway. Then she passed Ali five dollars.

Phoenix laughed as she sat down between her two best friends. "You two are cah-razy," she said, smiling. "Oh! Do y'all thing think Ami's up by now? After all, it's a tad bit after ten."

"Yeah, she should be up… it's Ashanti we need to worry about," Ali replied.

"Good." Phoenix stood up and walked to the foyer. A woman with shorts and a t-shirt on was just arriving in the hall as well. Similarly to the twins, she had shoulder length blonde hair and dark blue eyes. She held a steaming cup of coffee in her hands. "MRS. BOSWORTH!" Phoenix exclaimed as she hugged the woman.

"Hello, Phoenix," she said, smiling slightly tiredly. "Hi, Sam, Fred, George… and Ginny, right? And who are these three?"

Ali introduced Harry, Ron, and Hermione to her mom. "So can we go now?" she asked somewhat impatiently.

Mrs. Bosworth nodded. "But remember: Alex, you need to come home tonight – no exceptions. Kelly, Ali, once a week I want you to come home and check in." Kelly and Ali made identical annoyed faces. "And don't give me that look, young ladies. Now you may go. Good bye."

The British and New Yorkers walked back to Phoenix's house. There they entered the Hallway of Doors. Phoenix led them through a door that read: Orlando, Florida.

In a couple of minutes, everyone stood in front of a unique home. It consisted of three buildings that were positioned in a triangle. Phoenix explained that the building at the point of the triangle, the one closest to them, was a mix between a family room, a living room, and a recreational room. The two story building in the far left corner of the lot was the kitchen and dining room. The large four story building in the back right hand corner contained seven bedrooms, one half bathroom, and four full bathrooms. In the midst of all these buildings, she had explained, was a large pool. On the right of this said pool was a fenced in garden.

Phoenix walked up to the first building and rang the doorbell. After about a minute, the door opened and a fair skinned girl stepped outside. Her hair was pale blonde – nearly pure white. The only thing that made her hair bearable was the faint red hue in it. Strangely, her eyes looked a mix between blue and lavender. Her smile was also quite white. "Hey, everybody. You here for Ami?" she greeted them.

"Hey, Shené! Yeppers, that would be why we're here," Phoenix replied to the albino girl.

" Kay, I'll go get her." Shené walked back inside.

Before the door closed, another person appeared in the doorway. He had dark skin, hair, and eyes. All together he was quite handsome. He didn't have his shirt on and wore baggy sweatpants. "Hola señors y señoritas," he winked.

"God, Michael, save it for someone who cares," Kelly said, referring to the guy's flirty tone.

Michael laughed. "Sí, well, you all should come inside; Ami just finished eating breakfast."

"So, Michael," Ali asked when they all went inside, "are you coming to the party tonight?"

A smile crossed his face. "Just tell me when and where."

"The Ohio house, 8 o'clock; spread the word," Ali said.

The building they had just entered was one big room. The left side appeared to be 'nicer.' It had a fireplace, bookshelves, a mini grand piano, formal looking couches, some plants that added to the elegance, and much more. The other side of the room had a plasma TV along with some comfy looking sofas, a pool table, two pinball machines, a huge stereo, and other things of that sort. On the couch in front of the TV were a man and a woman.

"¡Juan and Janita¡Hola!" Ali greeted them happily.

"Hola," they replied. Both looked of Puerto Rican decent.

"¿Juan, como estás?" Kelly asked.

"Así-así," the man replied.

"Felices cumpleaños, Phoenix," the woman said.

"Gracias." Phoenix smiled.

Another woman walked in. Like all the others in the room, she had the dark skin, hair, and eyes. The difference was that she seemed to command respect and walked with perfect posture.

"Hello, Señora Omigo," Phoenix greeted the newcomer. Kelly and Ali had similar responses.

"Hello, girls." She smiled sightly. "Amianda is up in her room. You might as well go up there."

As Phoenix, Kelly, and Ali led them outside, Harry asked, "Who are all these people?"

The three girls laughed. "Ami's entire paternal family lives here. That's why the place is so ginormous."

Ron was looking over at the garden surrounded by the white picket fence. "Are those graves?" he gasped.

"Yes," Phoenix answered solemnly. "Ami's grandfather, grandmother, and father are buried there. Two years ago, her grandfather drowned in that pool right there. Not even a month later, her grandmother died of while she was gardening. We don't really know how that happened; she may have overworked herself, or was in shock from her husband's death, or something. Then during Christmas last year, Ami's father died of what we think was cancer, but we're not really sure."

"That's really sad," Hermione said sympathetically as they entered the four story building.

"On a happier note, how are all those people related to Ami?" Ginny asked.

"Michael is Ami's cousin. Juan and Janita, the ones who were sitting down, are his parents or Ami's uncle and aunt. Juan and Janita adopted Shené, the albino girl. Janita also had a baby in May named Pablo, but he's probably taking a nap somewhere in here," Ali replied.

"Calita is Ami's mom. She's in the navy, hence the formalness with her. Ami also has a three year old sister named Carlotta. I guess you can probably tell, but Ami's whole family is Puerto Rican." Kelly finished as they all reached the third floor.

Ali walked up to the door on the right and knocked quickly. They could hear a frustrated moan. The door opened, and a girl's head popped out. "¿Qué?" she asked annoyed. Then she realized who was standing outside her door. "Oh! It's you!" She opened the door wider. "I thought you were Shené; she kept coming and bothering me." The girl that was standing there had wavy shoulder length hair. She had on a brown skirt and a goldenrod t-shirt. The room behind her was quite neat. Shelves filled with books covered a lot of the walls. A digital camera was hooked up to a laptop that rested on her bed.

"Hey, Amianda!" the three girls exclaimed, giving the girl a hug.

"Hi," she replied unenthusiastically.

"What's wrong?" Ali asked, somewhat concerned.

"Did my mom tell you that I only could stay for a week?"

"What?" the three cried in unison.

"Sí. She wants me home. Apparently we're going to visit her family in Puerto Rico. She doesn't want me gone for most of the summer like last year, keeps saying things like 'Los tiempos han cambiado, Amianda. The times have changed.' It's kind of unfair, but I can't really argue with her."

"Oh my god! That's so unfair!" Ali exclaimed.

"Hey, at least you can stay for a week," Phoenix shrugged.

Kelly laughed. "All hail the ever optimistic fire birdie." Ali, Ami, and Phoenix joined in laughing.

"Are you ever going to shut up so you can finish packing?" Sam asked annoyed.

"Aww, Samantha. You can't handle us Señoritas being together?" Kelly joked.

After a few more minutes, Ami was all packed and bade her family farewell.

It was turning 7 o'clock a.m. in California when they arrived. Harry, Ron, Hermione, Ginny, Fred, George, Alex, Sam, Phoenix, Kelly, Ali, and Ami boarded a bus that would take them from Malibu to Los Angeles. By the time they reached the apartment building that the Alicias lived in, it was nearly 8 o'clock.

They were buzzed in and went up to 3c. An attractive African American woman answered the door. "Oh, hello, everyone," she flashed a perfect smile. "Ashanti's still asleep… I'm not sure if you're going to want to wake her up."

Kelly and Phoenix exchanged mischievious smiles, ran down a hallway, and went through a door. A moment later, a voice yelled, "AHHH! YOU DAMN BITCHES!" Then there was a pause. "I DON'T GIVE A DAMN IF IT'S YOUR BIRTHDAY, PHOENIX! HOW DARE YOU WAKE ME UP!"

"That's not good," Ali glanced at Ami.

Ami nodded. "Let's hope Ash doesn't have any a glass of water…"

Almost immediately after that was said, one could hear Phoenix scream, "ASHANTI ALICIA HOW DARE YOU DUMP THAT DEMONIC WATER ON ME! YOU WILL GET OUT OF THIS DAMN BED WHETHER YOU LIKE IT OR NOT!"

A moment later, Kelly and a damp Phoenix dragged a black girl into the living room where everyone else was. "You should know better than to get Phoenix wet, Ash," Ami smiled at the annoyed looking girl.

"Oh shut up, Amianda," she snapped. Ashanti was also pretty. Her hair was straight, black, and sleek. Her eyes were a rich dark brown. She wore a dark blue camisole with baggy sweatpants. The only thing that threw off that impression was the "back off" expression on her face and the small scar that ran along her right side jaw line. She turned to Phoenix. "So where's the party at?"

"Ohio," Phoenix replied stiffly, apparently still not too happy about the whole water incident.

"Oh yeah, before I forget, Mom says I can only stay for a week." Ashanti threw an irritated look at her mom.

"ALIYA!" Kelly yelled at the woman. "How could you deprive me of my only fellow Dragonic?"

"We're going on vacation, Kelly, and I don't want her gone all summer," she answered simply.

Then a boy about the age of seven walked out rubbing his eyes. "What's all the yelling for?"

It took what felt like forever to get back to Malibu. Finally they reached the Hallway of Doors and went through a door that read: Ohio House. It was 12:30 p.m. on the East Coast. Once in the house, Phoenix led them all downstairs to the family room. Then the Americans all looked expectantly at Phoenix while the British gave them confused looks.

"Okay, here's the plan," Phoenix said very business-like. "Ashanti and Ali, you're doing the 'presentation' part. You know, the decorations, food, drinks, etcetera. Alex and Sam, I expect you two to spread the word. Tell everyone, anyone! Kelly, you're in charge of the entertainment; I want a variety of music. Ami, you're in charge of documentation. You know, the camera crap that only you can do… Brits… well, you don't really have to do anything. You can help them if you want or explore the house."

"Okay, rules. Rule numero uno: Don't try to open any locked doors; they're locked for a reason. Number two: Don't destroy the house… that means you twins. And rule number three: Don't go near the forest."

"Why not?" Hermione asked curiously.

"That is the forest that had all the ginormous spiders in it. They said that they got rid of them all, but I wouldn't go in there right away."

Ron whimpered at the thought of the giant spiders.

"Wait, what's going on? And are you going somewhere?" Harry asked.

Phoenix smiled. "We're throwing a party, Sherlock. And me? Well, I'm finally seventeen so I need to take my Apparation Test. No, Fred 'n George, I haven't been Apparating… legally. So I need to go and take a test. You know how that goes. So I'll be back in like an hour or something."

While Phoenix was gone, the Americans were running around the house trying to get ready for the party. Ginny was helping them with various tasks, and the twins disappeared somewhere. So that left Harry, Ron, and Hermione to explore the house. A plethora of oddities greeted them. Unlike the house they were staying at in England, this house had many magical qualities to it. The three found an owlry, a room that felt like it was outside, and many other things. In general, you could feel and, in a sense, see the magic. The house seemed to never end. "How do we get back?" Ron asked after they explored for an hour or so.

Harry and Hermione exchanged perplexed looks. "We… er… we retrace our steps?" Harry somewhat questioned. Hermione shrugged. The three tried to navigate through the maze of halls. "You know what? We should just stop in a room and let them find us…" Hermione suggested. Since Harry and Ron lacked any other ideas, they just shrugged.

"Where should we stop at?" Ron asked. Hermione walked randomly up to a door and opened it. "Here." Hermione nodded her approval.

"A library! Hermione! We're on summer break and we're not going back to Hogwarts!" Ron exclaimed.

Hermione sighed. "Ron, the point is to wait; I randomly picked this room."

"Seriously, Ron. It's Hermione. Libraries call her. She cannot resist them. She's addicted. She – Ow, Hermione!" Harry rubbed the part of his head she had just hit. "I was just kidding…"

Back downstairs, the Americans were still trying to get ready for the party. Nearly two hours had past. Phoenix was just walking back through the door.

"Hey, everybody!" Phoenix said happily. Then she noticed that Kelly was the only person in the family room. "Uh, Kelly… where is everyone?"

Kelly looked up from the stack of CD's she was sorting through. "Uh… well… I think Fred and George went to the shop for a bit… Ali and Ashanti are shopping for food and more decorations… Sam and Alex are in some room calling, texting, IMing, and emailing every person they possibly can… Ami… she's doing whatever she does. You know, setting up hidden cameras and junk… and I dunno where all the British people are… oh wait! Ginny's with Ali and Ashanti… Harry, Ron, and Hermione… I dunno… last I saw of them, they were looking around…"

Phoenix's eyes widened. "They got lost?"

Kelly shrugged. "Probably."

"Inside or outside?" Phoenix asked worriedly.

"In the house, I think…"

Phoenix released a sigh of relief. "Okay, good. I'm going to go find them."

" Kay, you go do that," Kelly said absently, working on sorting through the CD's again.

Phoenix began to check in every single room. I forgot how big this house is, she thought.

It was about four o'clock. Hermione was happily reading while Harry and Ron tried to find something to do. The traditional 'Whadda you wanna do?'/ 'I dunno. Whadda you wanna do?' went on as they walked around the massive library. The two stopped before a window. "I wonder why Phoenix doesn't want us to go into the forest…" Harry thought outloud, looking at the expansive sea of green.

"Because spiders—probably ACROMANTULAS!—lived in that forest!" Ron said enthusiastically.

Harry shook his head. "There's got to be something else. You heard Phoenix; 'They got rid of those rancid spiders.'"

"So?"

"Who're they? What if they live in the forest too? Right now?" Harry said, giving the topic some thought.

Just then the doors flew open. Harry, Ron, and Hermione looked to see Phoenix standing in the doorway. "Oh praise the Lord! I found you! I thought you got lost outside! That would have been terrible!"

Harry seized his opportunity. "Why? Why would it have been terrible?" When she didn't answer, Harry asked, "Who – or what – lives in that forest? Who're they; the ones who killed the spiders?"

Phoenix's face was expressionless. "You'll find out… but not today… maybe tomorrow… I didn't expect you to get lost…or you might have found out today..." Then she turned to the double doors. "C'mon, you guys. I've been looking for you for two hours and now I'm hungry."

Phoenix, Ron, Hermione, and Harry went downstairs to the kitchen. The journey seemed much less maze-like when Phoenix led them. Ashanti, Ali, and Ginny were setting up plates of cookies, bowls of chips, platters of veggies, liters of pop, stacks of cups, piles of napkins, mountains of paper plates, and boxes of pizza on the counters throughout the kitchen.

"It's like the Hogwarts feast! Except with weird foods!" Ron exclaimed that for the second time that day.

Everyone except Ginny looked at him oddly. "What's weird here, Ron?" Phoenix asked slowly.

"Like that stuff in the box."

"You mean you've never eaten pizza?" Ali asked amazed.

"What in bloody hell is this peet-za?" Ron asked.

"Oh my god!" Ashanti exclaimed. "Ginny, does that mean that you don't know what pizza is either?"

"Well, I know it's the stuff in the boxes…"

Phoenix put her hand on her forehead and sank into a chair. To Harry and Hermione, she said, "You two know what pizza is, right?" Both nodded. "Good… wow… I never thought that you two wouldn't know what pizza was… Fred and George do…"

"Didn't you force them to eat it back when we were going into fifth year?" Kelly asked, joining the conversation as she walked in the room.

"I did, didn't I?" Phoenix said reminiscently.

"Wait… how did you know what we were talking about? You were in the other room," Ron said, now ignoring the topic of pizza.

Kelly rolled her eyes. "Twin telepathy, duh!"

The Americans looked shocked at the British's shocked and confused expressions. "You mean you don't know—" "—what twin telepathy is?" Ali finished Kelly's question. Harry, Ron, Hermione, and Ginny shook their heads. Ali continued, "You mean you live with twins—" "—in fact the twins with the strongest telepathic bond ever—" Kelly continued. Then they finished together, "—and you don't know what twin telepathy is?" The four now looked more confused than ever.

"You two are making it worse." Phoenix sighed. "Twin telepathy is when twins have a really strong mental bond. Ron, Ginny, you've lived with those two for your whole lives, and, Harry and Hermione, you knew them at Hogwarts… haven't you ever wondered how they could finish each other's sentences? And how they know what each other are thinking without even vocalizing it? (They nodded.) Well that's through twin telepathy. And I think Fred and George have developed it to, like, the best it can be…"

"Oh, what was that about us?" Fred and George asked as they walked in.

"Twin telepathy," Kelly and Ali answered together.

"God! Stop it! That's just creepy," Ron said.

"Ah, but do you know what's creepier, Ron?" Fred asked. "Phoenix telepathy," the two sets of twins replied together. Phoenix rolled her eyes.

"Seriously." Kelly nodded. "She's—" "—omniscient." Ali finished, nodding too.

"Yeah, what's even scarier is—" "—she knows what you're thinking right now," Fred finished George's sentence.

"That's not possible," Hermione said matter-of-factly. "Even a very skilled Legilimens needs to have eye contact and time to see one's thoughts. Mind readers are just balderdash, just like divination."

Everyone turned to see Phoenix's reaction. She appeared bored. "Seriously, we can talk about this some other time; we have a month and a half together… but I'm hungry and need food." Phoenix grabbed a cheese piece of pizza and bit it. Kelly grabbed some pizza next.

After grabbing a piece of cheese pizza, Ron eyed it warily. "Oh, Ron! You just pick it up and eat it," Hermione said.

Ron closed his eyes and bit into the pizza. "Hey! Dis is purdy good," he said with his mouth full.

"No shit, Sherlock," Kelly, Ashanti, and Phoenix said.

It was about nine o'clock and the party was in full swing. The house was full of witches and wizards from around the U.S. The music was pulsing through the air. Harry, Ron, and Hermione stuck together in the 'Mosh Pit of No Return." The crowds were so thick that the trio were almost separated a couple of times. It was almost impossible to even glimpse someone they knew. It wasn't until the music stopped, Kelly stood on a table, and she yelled, "Okay everybody! May I have your attention please! The second annual DDR contest will start at approximately 9:30! If you would like to complete, please sign-up at one of the designated tables. Notice the fire birdie, preppy twin, Hispanic, punk, gangsta, and Al sitting at tables. They, along with me, are the 'designated tables' I speak of. Now go sign up!"

At 9:30, Phoenix led the mob upstairs into a massive room. There were thirty-two DDR machines set up. While in the room, the 'designated table' people called all the participants over by them. During this time, Harry, Ron, and Hermione found Fred, George, and Ginny. "There you are!" Ron exclaimed.

"Ah, we thought you got lost," George said upon seeing them.

"Well, we pretty much did," Hermione muttered.

"Cheer up, Hermione! The DDR tournament is going to be starting." Fred clapped her on the shoulder.

"What exactly is this 'DDR tournament'?" Harry asked.

"It's brilliant," Fred said. George nodded. "You see the machine things? Well, two people go on at a time, one on each side. Arrows appear on the screen, and you have to step on the appropriate button. This of course is all done to the beat of the music." George explained.

"DDR… does that stand for something? I think I've heard of this," Hermione asked.

"Dance Dance Revolution," the twins said together. Fred continued, "You see, they set up tournament brackets. Sixty-four people are participating this year. They all face off. Half are eliminated. And it continues until the finals where two people face off."

"Last year it was Phoenix and Kelly who faced off. Kelly won." George added.

"They're really making a big deal about it," they said together, pointing at their girlfriends. The two girls were throwing insults at one another that were layered with rude words. Everyone knew that Kelly and Phoenix were best friends, but if they hadn't, they'd have thought them worst enemies.

After a while, it came down to the 'Elite Eight.' Phoenix, a guy named Derek, a blonde boy named Pierson, a brunette guy named Sal, a girl named Judy, Kelly, Ali, and Sam were facing each other in the respective pairs. Then Phoenix and Pierson went against each other as Kelly and Ali did. Just like the year before, Phoenix and Kelly were against each other for the title. The next few minutes that passed by were intense. The two chose some of the hardest songs, yet they never got anything but perfects. The whole match just hypnotized you: their feet were beating in perfect unison and were moving so fast they were in a blur. In the last song, the fatal error was made. A single'great'was received by the defending champion.After the final scores showed that Phoenix had won, the two collapsed laughing so hard, they were crying. The poor girls were hot and exhausted. "Ali, where's my root beer!" Phoenix laughed.

Ali came over with a can of root beer and dumped it on her head. "You're sure as hell lucky that wasn't water!" Phoenix yelled as she and Kelly stood up.

The two continued over and plopped down into chairs by Ali, Ashanti, Ami, Sam, Alex, Harry, Ron, Hermione, Fred, and George. Phoenix waved her wand; she and Kelly looked instantly refreshed. "That was insane," Kelly said.

"I guess all those years practicing DDR in the Room of Requirement paid off," Ali laughed.

Ashanti muttered, "Oh, don't look now, but the Bitches are heading this way."

No one listened to Ashanti. They all turned to see five girls were walking toward them. All of them were "perfect" in everyway: slender bodies, large breasts, the perfect golden tan. "How the hell did they get in? … nevermind, I'll deal with them," Phoenix said darkly. "Hey, slut-whore-bags! What the hell are you doing at my party?" She walked over towards them.

"Oh, well, we were just bored so we figured we would stop by and liven up this party," a tall curly haired blonde said.

"Ah, Brittney, I don't think you are wanted here," Phoenix shrugged.

"Oh shut up you little bastard!" a girl with perfectly straight black hair yelled.

"Is that the best word that you could insult me with? 'Bastard?' I think you need to improve your vocabulary; it's quite pitiful," Phoenix said calmly.

"Brittney, can we pound the shit out of her yet?" a pouty blonde asked with an attitude.

A wavy haired brunette answered for Brittney, "No, Lindsey… not with her 'posse' right behind her…"

"We could take those push-overs, Stephanie!" another brunette exclaimed.

"I doubt you could, Kelsey," Phoenix said emotionlessly. "I alone could whip all of your arses."

"Oh yeah?" Brittney taunted. "I'd like to see you try!"

Phoenix shrugged as the five girls pulled out their wands. They all shot spells at her. Protego, Phoenix thought, and the spells were sent back to their casters by the shielding charm. "That's all?" Phoenix asked, bored. Phoenix defended herself for a while like until one spell breeched her defenses. It knocked her off her feet and caused her to slide backwards a few feet. Phoenix stood up; she wore a very angry look upon her face. It was almost scary to see her this mad, and obviously the girls she was dueling with thought so too. Phoenix made a slashing motion with her wand and the five girls flew backwards against the wall. As the girls started to get to their feet, Phoenix pointed her wand at them. The five faltered.

"Just go," Phoenix said darkly. Four of them didn't need to be told twice; they started to run for the door, but not before Brittney made a very rude hand gesture at Phoenix. Everything was dead silent. Then Brittney collapsed to the floor for no apparent reason.

"Your little effing friends won't be so high and mighty when you leave them, you damn bastard!" Tiffany yelled as she helped drag Brittney away. Phoenix watched them until they left the room. Then she walked back to her friends.

"What was that all about?" Ginny asked.

Phoenix rolled her eyes. "Those five girls are the 'Clique' at Cateyes."

"We're their opposition," Kelly said somewhat proudly.

"Anyhoo," Phoenix continued, "just so you could get it into perspective about what kind of girls they are, you need to know their other names: the Supermodels, the Sluts, the Perfects, the Clique, and the Bitches along with many other names."

"Our little group here is called the Señoritas most of the time 'cause we're just so cool that we speak in Spanish occasionally to throw people off," Ali laughed.

Hermione looked a little confused. "Why such a big deal about that?"

"Well, we're not the 'perfect' girls. No one is really like that anyway. We, unlike the Clique, associate with everyone and anyone," Ami explained.

Phoenix elaborated, "It's like the Houses at Hogwarts. Slytherin won't talk to anyone outside their House – most of the time…"

Ashanti carried on the topic. "We're 'popular' for all the right reasons. We oppose discrimination by skin color, blood type, looks, ideas, what you say, and the other things like that. I mean seriously! I'm a black Muggleborn witch! Normally I wouldn't even be looked at by them." Ashanti gestured at Kelly and Ali.

Phoenix said, "Ami's family have been Squibs for the past three generations, but she's the best in our class!"

Ami smiled at Phoenix's compliment before saying, "Ali and Kelly are both Purebloods. You never would have guessed by the way they act or dress. Also, they're both different. Kelly's all punk and toy-boyish –"

"And Ali is a complete and total girlie-girl." Kelly laughed. "Actually… Ali and Phoenix could have been in the Clique!"

Ali laughed. "Yeah…Phoenix is,in fact, the Clique's mortal enemy. They did ask her to join, but she refused."

"Thank God!" Kelly exclaimed, throwing her hands in the air.

After a pause, Phoenix said somewhat slowly, "You know what's weird? You're all just talking about me… and I'm just sitting right here…"

The party continued for a long time after that. It was some time after midnight by the time everyone was gone. Sam and Alex went back to New York while Harry, Ron, Hermione, Ginny, George, Fred, Ashanti, Ami, Kelly, Ali, and Phoenix fell asleep randomly in the Ohio house's family room.

A/N: Sorry for this crappy ending… I just had to explain about how things are at Cateyes. I didn't mean to bore you guys. Other than that, I hope you enjoyed this chappie, not one of the best, but hey! They can't all be fantabulous. Yees, well, I can't seem to figure out anything else to say… yeah, so just review and that sort of normal stuff. Hopefully I'll post again soon… The next chapter's fun cuz they go into the forest. Hehe, that should be entertaining.
