HI…I'm actually writing a chapter…this is so fricken COOL!

Perhaps some clarification would be necessary. Remember in chapter um…I think it was 5, yeah, when Clio told Emerald and Michelle that in the next chapter after New Year's it would be OC night?

Well…its OC night.

My name is Lila Skywalker, and I'm a badass Jedi Padawan who also happens to be Emerald Tiara's first Original Character. SO…Emerald wanted me to write this chapter because she didn't want to come to the bar tonight. Too scared.

Chapter 7: OC night

I looked around the door, ready for anything. Like I suspected, the bar was jammed with OCs ready for their free drinks. Slowly I walked in, fingering my lightsaber.

Just as well. Because who should appear next to me but Miranda, from Ice Witch?

"Hey Lila. How's it going?"

"Badly. Emerald is taking FOREVER to put up the next chapter. I'm stuck with Han Solo, would you believe it?"

"Tell me about it," Miranda sighed sympathetically. "I haven't been updated since November."

"Oh yeah?" Abrienda and Hadara from Shur'tugalar Abr Zar'roc joined in. "We were put on hiatus from September to January."

We all winced. "Hello," said a girl cheerfully. "You're from Emerald Tiara's stories, am I right?"

"Who are you?" everyone else asked. We all blinked in unison.

"I'm Maylen. I'm from Dragons and Phoenixes, one of Azulcat's stories. And this is Kumar." The beautiful red bird next to her stared at us.

"Too…many…book characters," I muttered, wandering away. "Come on, where is everyone?"

A' Marie from Skywalker Legacy joined me. Finally, another Star Wars character!

"Hey, if we were in the same stories, we would be sisters," she said suddenly.

"Cool! Then maybe we could annoy people and actually get away with it!" We talked for a few minutes, debating about the Force and stuff like that, when Tiv and Colac from Mirrors of Memory 2 Reflections of Another Timeline came up to us.

Then, whaddaya know, we got into an argument about who was closest to the Dark Side.

"How could you have been worse than me? I was CREATED by the Sith to destroy the Jedi!" yelled Tiv.

"Yeah? Well I was this close to crossing over. I tell you, Emerald wanted me to, but her dad managed to convince her it was a bad idea. But I was only two seconds away from joining."

"Argh! For the time being, you have won, but I will be back!" claimed Tiv. A' Marie just stood there and stared.

I walked off shaking my head. There was way too much arguing going on, so I decided that maybe the anime characters would be helpful. Luke said I needed to open up and make more friends, anyway.

"Um, hi?" I said nervously as Noki from Dog Demon times 2 and Kath Marcoh from Red Blood.

"What do YOU want?" Kath asked rudely.

"Yeah, you're not an anime character," said Noki.

"Look, I don't know, okay?" I sighed. "The other Star Wars characters were really annoying, and all of Emerald Tiara's other characters are book characters."

"Okay. Here, take some beer," said Kath with a shrug. I accepted without argument.

"Hey, look, something's going on over there," observed Noki.

She was right. All of Emerald and Draye's OCs were gathering. Miranda waved frantically to Kath and me to get our asses over there. We apologized to Noki and got up. I darted into the crowd and quickly found Eris, Darth Vader's apprentice, also from the Silver Blade trilogy.

"Listen, characters!" declared Jadzia from Shur'tugalar Abr Zar'roc. "we all know what it's like to be put on hold. Raise your hands if your story has been neglected for ever three weeks."

Everyone raised their hands. "So what do we do about it?" cried Jadzia. "We rebel! Take over! Write the stories for ourselves!"

"Why you little bitch!" came a shocked gasp from behind us. There stood Draye and Emerald.

"How the hell did you get in?" screamed Ally, Draye's OC from Full Metal Reborn.

"Technicalities, my dear Ally. Emerald will explain." Draye smirked.

"You see, Saturnina is based off of my dear self in Bothering Alagaesia. So I was allowed to get in because the bouncers accepted that I was Saturnina. Draye got in because she is her own OC in The Lost Tales of Demy God."

"And now, for your insolence," fumed Draye, "none of you will get another say in your stories for a month! We were nice authors! We let you decide what would happen! Not anymore."

A collective 'shit' arose from the crowd. I grabbed Eris's hand and pulled her towards the door, hoping to escape notice.

"Not so fast, Lila Skywalker!" Emerald shrieked.

Damn.

This chapter was dedicated to Draye.
