Zoe: Haha, you didn't have to wait long. I submitted a new chapter the moment you reviewed…literally. Thanks for the review. LONG LIVE JACK MERCER!

babe7878: Thanks for the review!

Morgaine: My God, I've converted you! No seriously, I'm so glad you took the time to read my story and tell me you liked it. I don't blame you for thinking it may be bad—I tend to read many Mary Sues, but in all my years on (about 3-4) I've only found a small handful that are actually good. I'm trying to fix that! As for her imperfections, I really wanted to get the point across that she was just a normal girl—in the first chapter I mentioned she wore a dress size 8 (it was important to me that she wasn't a size 2 model-type). Anyways, I just loved your review (totally made my day) and just wanted to say thanks. Thank you! Also, if at any point I stray way into the path of the Mary Sues, feel free to drop me a line telling me so!

pumpkinhead0402Thanks! And yes, Jack is cute, isn't he? I rarely see a guys who can pull off cute, hot, sexy all the same time, but Garrett certainly can.

The Mercer Sister: Aww, I'm glad you liked it. Yeah, I wanted them to kiss to, but I was tired I couldn't write it……sorry! Thanks for your review.

The Collision of Your Kiss: I don't know if we could catch him; I heard he ran track. But I'm all for trying. Haha, I remind you of Dr. Seuss? "One fish, two fish, red fish, blue fish!" And yes, white cotton socks…….heh, I tend to add too much detail from time to time. Yay, you got the Garrett reference! He says "for sure" a lot too, and I love that 'cuz it reminds me of Canada (in my experience, Canadians love to say "most defiantly" "for sure" and "eh"), which makes sense since he grew up near there.

ZoeinGreece: Thanks, I'm glad you think they're cute together!

darkdestiney2000: Sorry to hear you had such a bad day, but here's another chapter just in case!

Elven-Princess Ginny: First of all, I love the name Ginny! Secondly, thank you! Yeah, I'm really taking advantage of the whole "kids say the darnest things" concept.

Alexis in Wonderland: Don't worry; I'm not planning on it.

A/N: I re-read the first chapter and fixed the tense-problems (if I missed any, let me know). Wow, you guys, I got so many reviews this chapter, thank you! I really appreciate it! And to those of you who have stories that I haven't reviewed, I apologize, I've been VERY busy with school, but I'll try to drop you all a note soon! Creepy, my number of hits right now is 666!

I woke up quite early in the morning after feeling something press against my hip. I blinked until my eyesight became un-fuzzy. As I looked around I found that Jack, Daniel, Amelia, and myself were still sprawled out on the couch. I smiled to myself as I realized that my head was resting on Jack's chest and our legs were tangled up together. Daniela was clutching Jack's arm on his other side, while Amelia was using my hip as a pillow. I wanted desperately to stay in this position forever, but I knew I would be completely mortified should Jack wake up and see me this messy. My hair was mussed, my skin was oily and my breath was so hideous that I'm almost sure the mere stench of it woke me up. I slipped out of Jack and Amelia's grasp and headed towards the bathroom, where I promptly washed my face, put on a little bit of make-up, piled on the deodorant, brushed my teeth, and fixed my hair. I couldn't very well change clothes—for obvious reasons—but I didn't think Jack would noticed if I pulled on a pair of socks, so I did. As I made my way back to the living room, something outside caught my eye and took my breath away.

Snow.

The yard was completely covered in snow. We were snowed in………just Jack, the girls, and I. I hadn't felt this giddy since I was a kid. I suppressed a girly giggle and weaseled my way back into my spot on the couch. Jack's arm instantly wrapped itself around my neck, pulling me closer to him. I burrowed my head under his chin and savored the moment.

"Wake up, sleepyhead." I groaned and opened my eyes. After having woken up at five in the morning I eventually went back to sleep around six. I glanced at the clock over the mantle and discovered that it was three minutes after eight.

"Get up, Lily." Amelia was standing over me, poking at me with her little fingers. Daniela was sitting on her stool by the counter, eating eggs, pancakes and sausages.

"It's a Saturday," I mumbled, not quite alert yet.

But a deep voice brought me to my senses. "Breakfast!" My eyes popped open and I nearly fell off the couch.

"You okay?" Jack asked me.

"Uh……..yeah. I'm just kind of………disoriented in the morning."

He had cute little bags under his eyes. "How do you like your eggs?"

"Scrambled."

"Good, 'cause that's the only way I can make them," he informed me, looking rather pleased. "Bacon or sausage?"

"Bacon, please."

I looked around, "Oh yeah, we're snowed in."

"You knew?" he asked.

Oh no. Busted. "I……….I heard you guys talking earlier this morning. But then I decided to ignore you and go back to sleep."

"Oh." Jack looked as though he wanted to say more, but didn't know quite what he wanted to say. He didn't need to though, since the phone rang a second later.

I answered it. "Hello?"

"Lily? Hey, it's Bobby. Listen, is Jack there?"

"Yep, he's even making breakfast." I saw Jack smile out the corner of my eye.

"Well, put me on speakerphone, I need to talk to him too."

I sighed, "Fine, but it keep it G-rated, the girls are here." I pressed the speakerphone button and grabbed a plate. "You're on, Bobby!"

"Thanks," he cleared his throat, "So Jerry and Camille are here, and they wanted me to call you guys and see how you were doing."

"Why didn't they call us themselves?" Jack wondered aloud.

Bobby paused. "I gotta keep this G-rated?"

"Point taken," I muttered. Jack smirked.

"Anyway, the roads should be cleared up by tonight, and I swear if you don't show up and rescue me from La Vida Loca soon, I'll knock your teeth out."

I rolled my eyes, "Honestly, Bobby, she doesn't sound that bad………in fact, I think she's a very nice person."

"I think she has no reflection," he muttered.

Jack started to laugh and almost dropped my bacon.

"Bye Bobby."

"See ya tonight. And bring some garlic and a crucifix if you can find 'em!"

I pressed the "off" button as I sat down next to Daniela, who was currently using the syrup to make faces on her pancakes.

"When did you guys wake up?" I asked, trying to sound casual. Jack looked at me in a way that made my stomach flop upside down. Like he had a secret that he was dying to tell me. But in the end, he just shrugged, as did the girls.

"Don't know," Amelia said, her mouth full of food.

"Close your mouth, you're not a cow," bossed Daniela, and I suddenly saw Jack's eyes soften. He looked away, and focused his attention on the snow outside. Something deep inside of me stirred, and I longed to wrap my arms around him. He had changed into Jerry's clothes, and was wearing a dark green sweatshirt that made him look………speechless. My stomach flopped once more, and I realized how long it had been since I'd actually had a crush on a guy. I hadn't dated much in High School; I only went out with two guys, and both relationships ended within a month. I was a quiet girl who had an overprotective big brother. I looked outside. I was struck by how serene everything looked covered in snow……….pure, innocent.

"Eggs are done," Jack told me and handed me my plate. We ate our breakfast in silence.

Eh...sorry that took so long. Also it may be a while since I update again...I have ACT's this week, so I'll probably be in a bad mood for a while. Oh yeah, I'm writing a sequel to this, and I've already started it, so if it takes long for this to update, remember I'm writing two stories so you won't have to wait during the sequel (I see frequent updates in your future, people)! Hey, did anyone catch the season premiere of LOST? Where the hell was Sawyer? i love him.
