AN: Erin McKinley and Duddley111, your last reviews were soooo funny! I just have to go with your ideas. Tommy4eva and instantstarroxmysox, thanks for your comments! They really inspire me to keep writing. You guys rock!
Special Note to Erin McKinley: I love your evil laugh :o)! It totally cracked me up. And my mom was in the room, and she thought I was nuts, but enough about that.
Here's my latest chapter, and I hope everyone likes it.
Disclaimer: Of course I don't Instant Star or any of the characters. But I do own the storyline.
Chapter 7: Speed's Discovery:
"Dude, what's going on?" asked Kyle. He and Wally had been busy showing Sadie how to throw a perfect spiral.
"Nothing. I'm just sick of Lord Frowny Face, that's all," Speed grumbled. "He thinks he's all that, trying to steal Jude from me. If only I could get Jude's attention…" He paused, thinking hard.
"Wait, I got it," Wally said. "Why don't you give her your spare guitar? The one she's admired for months?"
"Yeah, that's a great idea," Speed nodded. "She knows how much I love it, but once she sees how much I want to give it to her, she'll be all over me in no time. Thanks, Wally."
Speed went inside to go wrap it up, and Kyle and Wally continued tossing the football around.

Meanwhile, Tommy had overheard Speed and Kyle talking, and smiled to himself. "Yeah, that's a great idea, Speed. Thanks for the tip." He went over to Sadie, who was still trying to console Jude, and said, "Sadie, I gotta go out for a little bit, but I'll be back soon if anyone asks."
Sadie nodded, wondering what Tommy was up to, but thought nothing of it. Moments later, she heard the familiar screech of tires as the blue Viper sped out of Kwest's driveway.

Not wanting to bother Sadie, who had her hands full with comforting her sister, Speed wandered from room to room.
He peered around an open door, and stepped inside.
"I wonder if Kwest has any wrapping paper," Speed thought. The room looked like all the other rooms he had passed, and the design was the same, from the polished hardwood floors to the high tray ceilings. "Man, it's like a museum in here," he thought, as he looked around. The room was surprisingly empty for someone so well off, and the only furniture was a solid oak desk, 2 gigantic cabinets, and a couple of cream-colored leather sofas.
"Maybe he's got some in there," Speed thought as he opened one of the cabinets. He rummaged around a little bit, and his eyes opened wide in surprise as he discovered what was in there.
"Oh, man, this is unbelievable," Speed thought gleefully. "Just wait till I tell the guys! I wonder if there's more in the other cabinet." He looked through the other cabinet, and found some other items that interested him. He could barely contain his excitement as he quickly stuffed everything back as he'd found it, and raced back outside.
"Dudes, you'll never guess what I just found," Speed said, excitement bubbling over.
AN: OK, I know, another really short chapter, but I need some time to think about what happens next. But I'll post ASAP, OK? Just as soon as you review. Thanks you guys! (sniffle)
