A/N: Hello. I can't believe how long this story is. I'm sorry. I hate
long stories. It looks so much shorter on the word document. I'm on page
35 and have writer's block on what will happen in the very end. Oh well.
If you have any suggestions, comments, raves, go ahead and write them.
BUT NO FLAMES! Luv y'all!

When Emily awoke the next morning, she was relaxed and smiling which was something she hadn't woken up feeling since she was seven. She rolled over and saw Joey, who was still asleep. She sat up and looked at the clock. It was seven a.m. and she crept out of the room with a key and went downstairs. She grabbed breakfast: a bagel with cream cheese and orange juice for her and cereal, eggs, toast, juice, milk, and some fruit for Joey. He was a human vacuum. She carried it all up on a tray and crept back in the room. Then, she his all up on a tray and climbed up to him. She put the tray down gently and woke him up. He looked at her with a confused look. He looked over to the alarm clock and looked back to Emily and now was even more confused. Emily smiled and held up the tray.
"It's a thank you," said Emily. She tucked her hair that was annoyingly getting in her eyes behind her ear after he took it.
"Em, thanks," replied Joey.
Emily climbed out of the bed and got her breakfast. They ate together as they watched the kiddy shows on Nick Junior. At nine, there was a knock on the door and Emily opened it, revealing Callie. She looked around in the room and at Emily and Joey.
"Am I interrupting something?" she asked.
"No, Em got scared last night after watching this special on TV about killers who escaped from jail in Chicago. So she came here and we fell asleep watching a Jim Carrey movie," said Joey explaining. He was still in his sweats and wifebeater, which wonderfully showed off his muscles.
"Uh huh, right."
"Callie, I can slam this door on you," said Emily in a threatening voice.
"Fine. Goodness, I was just kidding."
"Come on in then."
Emily jumped on the bed and put the covers up on her. She had turned on the air conditioning the night before so it would be freezing. She loved that. Joey didn't but didn't mind if she did it, as long as she was happy. Callie, still in her nightie, closed the door, got a couple extra blankets from the closet near the bathroom, climbed onto the bed, and wrapped herself in them. Dora the Explorer was on. Callie and Emily sang the songs and Joey just shook his head. They eventually made him sing too since they knew he had to watch it with his little sister Janet. Then Callie excused herself to her room so she could get ready and she left. Emily stayed in the room and just stayed under the covers, getting all snuggled.
"Em, I'm gonna take a shower okay?" asked Joey, now standing up.
"Okay. Ooh, can I pick what you'll wear?" asked Emily, getting thrilled over it.
"Um, no."
"Please Joey?" Emily stood on the bed and jumped on his back. "Please?"
"Fine."
Emily got down and went through the pants and shirts, picking a pair of khakis and her favorite shirt on him. It was blue and had 'Tommy Hilfiger' on it with the logo. He was running the water in the shower in the bathroom. Emily gave him his clothes she picked out and he got his boxers while Emily looked away. He put them in a pile on the sink.
"What are you gonna do?" he asked.
"Go to my room and get ready," she said.
He walked into the bathroom, shutting the door behind him and locking it and got in the shower.
Emily got one of his keys and her own and then went downstairs to her room. She opened her door, went in, and shut the door behind her. She grabbed the clothes she was going to wear for the day (a tan peasant top with a pair of jean capris) and took a shower, got dressed, and did the rest of her daily routine (teeth, hair, washing face, eye shadow, and lip gloss). Then she went to Callie's room and knocked on the door. Callie answered, wearing a jean skort and a shirt that said 'Princess' on it in lavender.
"Hey girl!" she said, inviting Em in.
Emily walked in and looked around. Callie's room was bigger than hers and Joey's. Joey was already there, playing hacky sack and Callie went back to the bathroom and started doing her damp hair. She smiled into the mirror when she had it the way she wanted, in a perfect French twist with butterfly clips she had borrowed from Emily some time before. She came out of the bathroom and twirled around with her arms up.
"You likes?" she asked them both when she stopped turning around.
"Yep," said Emily.
"Definitely," said Joey, dropping the hacky sack.
"Good, because I have a movie to go to today."
"Cheating on Leo already?"
"No, I'm just going with some people from the front desk."
"What movie?" asked Emily, sitting on her bed Indian style.
"The Lizzie McGuire Movie."
"Well, okay. Joey, what are you doing today?"
"I dunno. Swimming. Looking for somewhere to hang out tonight with both of you."
"A club!" exclaimed Callie.
"No. A place like the Studio Movie Grill. Club comes at the end of the trip."
The phone started ringing. "Ugh." Callie picked it up and said perkily "Hello?. Oh, hi Mrs. Standish." Emily crossed her hands back and forth, shook her head, and mouthed 'No'. "Yes ma'am, she's right here."
Emily glared at Callie as she grabbed the phone from her. Joey stayed close. "Hello?"
"Hi Emily. I just want you to know that we're leaving tomorrow," said her father
"WHAT!?!"
"I said that we're leaving tomorrow and you and your friends need to pack up."
"But-"
"No buts. You better be ready."
"I'm not leaving."
"Yes you are."
"No, I'm not. I'm not leaving and never knowing my father and then have to go back and put up with Martin."
"Emily Marie Standish, until you are eighteen, you are living my life and will do what I tell you."
Emily pulled the phone away from her head and looked at it for a moment before she slammed it down on its cradle.
"Leaving tomorrow?" asked Joey.
"Yep siree," responded Emily. "I wish there was something I could do so they would stop fighting."
"There is," said Clarissa.
Emily looked up. "What do you mean?"
"Where did they meet?"
"Detention."
"In high school, right?"
"Yeah, what's your point?"
"My point is, is that if they fell in love there sixteen years ago, there's a possibility that it could happen again." Emily's eyes became wide as a huge grin came over her face. She looked at Joey and he knew that she would expect him to help.
"No way José am I helping. I don't wanna get in trouble with your mother. If I do, I'll get in trouble with mine and this trip will get me in enough trouble as it is."
"You wimp."
"Am not."
"Are too. And it's even for a good cause," intervened Callie, crossing her arms. Emily followed the same suit.
"You outnumbered me," Joey eventually whispered.
"Yay!" the girls cheered.
"Okay, we'll call Andy, Alison, and Brian about getting together for it," said Callie.
"Yeah. We can recreate everything, including the clothes. I have a really good idea for this all."
"You call Andy, Alison, and Brian and Joey will call the school to work out a plan and then I'll work out something with the clothes."
"Um, okay. Actually, I'll go to Andy and Alison's house to plan, if they allow me to."
"What do I say to the school?" asked Joey.
"I changed my plans."
"Okay."
"I'll do clothes, Em will do phone calls to the clubby people things and she'll go to the school and talk to the principal. She can make up a story faster than you. All you have to do is cover for us if anyone calls. That means you stay in your room and watch T.V. and order room service etcetera." She turned her head to Emily. " Em, let's go to your room to figure out where to head to. I've been in this room forever. Plus, I need some girl talk, especially about guys." Callie turned towards Joey. "Joey, go back to your room."
"But I don't want to. Yours is comfier."
"Yeah, but the calls won't be coming to my room will they? No, they won't. So stop whining and protesting and go to your room. Now."
"Yes Mom." He hung his head and left, not joking.
"Okay, come on. We have to get the phone numbers and stuff from my room and total girl talk," said Emily, getting up and walking towards the door.
"Very well. I have tons of girl talk topics! This is gonna be fun! It'll be great when they get together. Don't you think?"
"Yeah."
They walked out the door after Clarissa got all her stuff, and headed down to the elevator. They got on after waiting for two minutes and when they got to Emily's room, they walked in. Emily plopped down on the floor and Callie sat on the bed.
"I told the people that I couldn't come today to see the movie."
"Oh good, then you can watch Penny, ya know, Alison and Andy's daughter."
"Fine with me."
After they were finished talking and telephoning everybody, whom they arranged to meet at two, when the principal of Shermer High School told Joey they could reserve the library. When they met up at the library, Clarissa had all the style of clothes the blonde told them they wore all ready for them. They went to the bathrooms to change and Claire and John had already been told to come in eighties clothes. They were very confused but Clarissa made up a big story for each of them so they wouldn't suspect anything. They were all set.
Claire and John arrived in the library at different entrances. Emily, Clarissa, and Joey locked those. The rest of the Breakfast Club came down the stairs and sat in the seats they had before. Clarissa took Penny, Alison and Andy's baby, so she could watch her. Joey and Emily went into the office and asked the vice principal if they could use the announcement speakers, and the answer was yes. They got it to only be in the library, where John and Claire were sitting down in, now understanding that they were trapped.
"Hello students. Today is Thursday and you are officially in detention for whatever you did. There are paper and pens for all of you and I expect an essay from each about what you learned today. You will be in here as long as we are going to keep you here. Have fun!" said Emily. She hoped it would work. Joey and her started to walk the halls.
