Lizette: Hey everyone!
Zidane: Hey!
Dagger: Hello
Lizette: Finally I updated Still Love to HATE You. I'm sorry, but many things have come up. One of the reasons why I did not update so quickly was because I got the chicken pox along the way.
(Zidane's eyes widens)
Zidane: C-CHICKEN POX::Zidane runs away from Lizette:: GET AWAY! GET AWAAAYYYYY!!!!
Dagger: She recovered you idiot!
Zidane: …Oh.
Lizette: I also made this chapter pretty long! Yes, I gave you guys a nice long chapter!
Dagger: I like the short chapters better.
Lizette: What? Why?
Dagger: Well because! It's easier for the author.
Lizette: But the reviewers love long chapters.
Dagger: …Well that is true.
Lizette: Please enjoy Still Love to HATE You! Oh, and just to tell you, I added myself in the story again. I also added my family in one scene. Enjoy!

Still Love to HATE You
Chapter 3: Pack Your Bags!
The sun slowly came up, symbolizing that it was Tuesday morning. The sky was painted with various colors. Wet dew still on the grass.
It was another morning in the Cruz family household.
A 13 year old girl gazed at her reflection in her mirror, smiling at herself. This girl was none other then…Lizette Cruz.
There was various suitcases in her room, stacked with clothes.
Lizette continued to look at herself in the mirror, smiling.
"Chronically your 13 today. Physically?"
Lizette shook her head. "Thank god I'm not going through puberty!" Lizette said happily.
Lizette picked up the phone on her bedside table and sat on the edge of her bed.
"Nope. I look exactly the same way I did yesterday." Lizette told her friend, Karen, on the phone.
"No I didn't expect to wake up physically transformed!" Lizette said, staring at the phone confused. "I just assumed I would wake up with a facial expression on my face…"
There was murmuring on the phone. "Well I hope you have a good time at the water amusement park for 2 weeks…" Lizette said. "I hope you have fun!"
"Well I better go. My family's probably mad because they didn't wish me a happy birthday before I leave…okay…bye!" And with that, Lizette hung up the phone.
Lizette then grabbed her 2 blue suitcases, and exited her room. When she walked down the hallway, she saw her older brother, Jonathon, coming out of his room. Rock music blasting out of his room. She then saw her little sister, Samantha, come out of her room. Both of there book bags on there shoulders.
"Ugh…I think I have a headache…" Jonathon said, putting his hands on his forehead.
"You don't HAVE a headache!" Samantha told him. "Your just saying that because today is Tuesday and you don't want to go to school!"
Lizette could sense an argument in the air between her sister and brother.
Yes! Lizette thought. Finally some action!
It wasn't right, but Lizette loved watching her sister and brother fight. She just needed some popcorn.
"Shut your mouth!" Jonathon said, taking a step closer to his little sister.
"Make me!" Samantha said, looking up at Jonathon.
Jonathon put his fist in the air and-
"DADDY!!!! Jonathon hit me!" Samantha yelled.
"You little liar! I didn't even touch you!" Jonathon said to her.
"Yeah, but you were ABOUT to!" Samantha said, her nose in the air.
Lizette's dad immediately came out of the bathroom, his toothbrush in his mouth.
"Jonathon, come on! I really don't wanna separate a fight early in the morning." Lizette's dad said to Jonathon.
"Dad, come on. You know my method! I don't hit her when your right down the hall!" Jonathon told him.
Dad just sighed, and walked back into the bathroom.
Jonathon smirked, and went downstairs, heading to the kitchen for breakfast.
"Good morning Lizette!" Samantha said, taking notice that Lizette was standing in the hallway.
"Good morning!" Lizette replied.
Okay…in a few seconds, Samantha will scream out 'HAPPY BIRTHDAY!'…Lizette thought.
"Well, I'm gonna go downstairs and have breakfast. Are you coming?" Samantha asked her.
Lizette looked at Samantha shocked. Did her own sister forget her own birthday?
"Um…yeah. I'm coming." Lizette told her, both of them going downstairs.
When Lizette reached the kitchen, her mom was in front of the stove making breakfast.
"Pancakes?" Lizette asked.
"You bet!" Lizette's mom told her.
Lizette sat down on the kitchen table, grabbing a plate of pancakes.
Lizette poured syrup all over her pancakes, eating them happily.
"Lizette, do you have everything in your suitcase? Did you check?" Lizette's mom asked.
A/N: Okay, I'm tired of putting Lizette's mom, and Lizette's dad. I'll just put Mom and Dad.
"Yes mom." Lizette told Mom.
I can't believe it…nobody said happy birthday to me!...Lizette thought.
"Ahem." Lizette said, trying to get some bodies attention. Samantha and Jonathon immediately looked at her.
"Guys, do I look any OLDER today?" Lizette asked.
"Nah. I think you look perfectly fine." Jonathon told her.
"You look the same to me." Samantha said to her.
Suddenly, a big yellow school bus stopped in front of Lizette's house. Samantha immediately drank all of her orange juice, and put her jacket on, followed by her book bag.
"My bus is here mommy!" Samantha told Mom.
"Okay, have a good day." Mom told Samantha.
Samantha hugged Mom, said by to Lizette and…gave a dirty look to Jonathon.
Dad immediately came down the kitchen and looked at the clock. "I think it's time for you to leave, you guys."
Jonathon eyed the clock suspiciously and got up. "Yeah, your right. I'll drop Lizette off at the airport."
Lizette immediately got up. Mom and Dad immediately ran in to hug her.
"Have fun in Rome…" Mom said, hugging her tightly.
"And be careful." Dad told Lizette.
Lizette nodded. "I will. ARE YOU SURE, you don't have anything to say to me?" Lizette asked.
"No." Mom and Dad said together.
Lizette sighed. "Okay well…I write to you guys." She told her Mom and Dad.
"Okay…have fun!" They both said.
"Let's go." Jonathon said to Lizette, walking outside. Lizette following Jonathon.
Jonathon turned on the car and got into the drivers seat. Lizette getting into the passengers seat.
"Here we go!" Jonathon said, putting the keys in ignition.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dagger and her mother sat on the comfortable seats of the limousine. Winston driving the limousine, and heading for the Regent Cid Airport.
Dagger sighed deeply of boredom, and decided to count the passing cars on the highway. Dagger always did this since she was a little girl. Every time when she was in the car and she was bored, she would always try to count all of the cars that passed her limousine.
1…2…3…4…5…Dagger counted, trying to keep track of how many cars she had counted already.
"Garnet?"
"Huh?" Dagger said, snapping out of her thoughts. Her head turned to her mother.
"Yes mother?" Dagger asked.
"We're almost to the airport, and I just want to tell you…"
Oh GREAT. The great speech. The be-careful-and-don't-get-in-trouble speech…Dagger thought.
"That to be careful on this trip. I really don't want you to get in trouble." Brahne said slowly.
See? I knew it! Dagger thought again.
"Mother, I will be careful on this trip. I assure you, nothing bad will happen to me." Dagger told her mother. Dagger really didn't want her mother to worry. Since this was Dagger's first time leaving her mother, she understood why her mother was so worried. It's what every mother would do at times like these.
Brahne nodded, and smiled. "I'm going to miss you very much. The house is going to be very boring without you."
"Don't worry. Clair will keep you company! She might introduce you to her favorite soap operas!" Dagger said quickly.
Brahne laughed, and nodded. Dagger smiled. Suddenly, Dagger's eyes went to Brahne's pocket. The golden spyglass was no longer there anymore.
"Mother? What happened to the golden spyglass? You said you were going to show it to me." Dagger asked her Mother.
Brahne immediately looked at Dagger. "…I lost it."
"Lost it? How?" Dagger said curiously.
"I-I don't know. I just put it in my jewelry case before I went to bed, and this morning it was gone!" Brahne said, shocked.
Dagger looked at her mother suspiciously. "Mother? Are you sure your not lying to me?"
Brahne smiled at Dagger. "Of course I'm not lying to you! Darling, why would I lie to you?"
Dagger was about to open her mouth to say something when Winston stopped the car. They were now in the parking lot of the Regent Cid Airport.
"We're here!" Winston called out.
"Great! Come Dagger, lets get your bags out of the trunk." Brahne said quickly, getting out of the car.
Dagger's eyebrow went up at this statement.
Since when does mother get the bags? Isn't that Winston's job?
A Few Minutes Later…
Dagger and her mother stepped into the Regent Cid Airport. The airport was very big, and many people were walking around curiously, wondering what gate they were supposed to go into.
There were also many teenagers. Dagger thought that there was a lot of teenagers because of the trip to Rome.
"Well…I guess I should go…" Dagger said, facing her mother.
Brahne smiled, and embraced Dagger in a very big hug. It was probably the most biggest hug that Dagger had ever experienced.
"cough Mom? Your chocking me!" Dagger crocked.
Brahne immediately broke the hug. "Sorry sweetie."
Dagger smiled and hugged her mother again. A white tear rolling down her hot cheeks. "I'm going to miss her mother."
Brahne then pushed Dagger away from her and smiled. "Go. And don't forget to keep in touch!"
Dagger nodded, and finally turned around.
Whatever you do, don't look back…Dagger thought.
Dagger suddenly looked back quickly, seeing if her mother was there. She was gone. Dagger smirked, and walked further into the airport.
Dagger looked frantically for somebody in her school. Zidane, Rinoa, Blank, Scarlet, ANYBODY.
Suddenly, somebody came behind Dagger. Two hands covered Dagger's eyes so she couldn't she who it was. Dagger tried to take the two hands that were covering her hands off of her, but the person covering her eyes wouldn't let her.
"Guess who?" A girl's voice said from behind Dagger.
"Umm…Scarlet?" Dagger asked.
"Nope!"
"…Rinoa?"
"Neither."
"Kairi?"
"Negative."
Dagger tried to take the hands off of her hands, but the girl still didn't let her go.
Finally, the unknown girl took her hands off of Dagger's eyes. Dagger immediately turned around to see Lizette behind her. Dagger's eyes widened.
"L-LIZETTE!?" Dagger said shocked.
"Hey! What's poppin?" Lizette asked.
"Why are you here?" Dagger asked curiously.
"To come to the trip of course!" Lizette told her.
"But…But this is for only high school students only!" Dagger told her.
Lizette looked at her as if she had six heads. "High school students? Who told you that?"
"…Zidane."
"I should have known."
Suddenly, an announcement came on the speakers of the airport, which got many peoples attention.
FOR ALL THE PEOPLE THAT ARE GOING TO ROME, THE FLIGHT TO ROME (FLIGHT 181) IS ABOUT TO DEPART. I REPEAT, THE FLIGHT TO ROME (FLIGHT 181) IS ABOUT TO DEPART.
Dagger's eyes widened as she heard the announcement. If she wouldn't run to the plane, she would probably miss the trip to Rome!
"Come on!" Dagger said, beginning to run. Her luggage behind. Lizette running beside her.
They both ran to the terminal. The flight attendant was about to close the doors to the plane, when Dagger and Lizette came in.
Just in time...Dagger sighed with relief.
Dagger walked down the long aisle of the plane. Looking for Zidane, until she heard somebody call her name.
"DAGGER!"
Dagger turned around, hearing somebody shout out her name. She then saw Zidane sitting on a seat next to the window, an empty seat next to him.
Dagger smiled and walked up to Zidane, sitting down next to him. Lizette sat right next to them too.
Zidane looked at Lizette shocked, and then looked at Dagger. "Is that Lizette?"
"Yes, it is. Apparently, she had the same trip as us." Dagger explained to him.
"Hi Zidane!" Lizette said, smiling brightly.
"Hi." Zidane said, smiling smally.
Dagger looked around the plane for Blank and Rinoa. She couldn't find them.
"Where are Blank and Rinoa?" Dagger asked Zidane curiously.
"Oh…Rinoa didn't come on the trip. She said that she couldn't afford the money and…Blank is sitting in the back of the plane. He couldn't find a seat." Zidane explained.
"Oh…" Dagger said, a little bit puzzled. Rinoa told her that she had enough money to come on the trip to Rome. And now she wasn't coming? That was strange…
"So…did you guys already graduate?" Lizette asked Zidane and Dagger. Trying to trigger a conversation.
Dagger sighed, and smiled. "Yes, we did."
"Oh…did you have fun?" Lizette asked curiously.
"No." Zidane and Dagger said together.
"…How much money did you pay on this trip?" Lizette asked again.
"What are we…playing questions?" Dagger asked Lizette curiously.
"…Do you think I'm playing a game?" Lizette said curiously.
"Well…hasn't the only thing that's come out of your mouth been questions?" Dagger said, playing with her hair a little bit.
"What's your point?" Lizette said, crossing her arms on her chest.
"Who says I have to have a point?" Dagger said, smirking. If Lizette wanted to play a game of questions, then fine!
"What are you trying to pull?" Lizette said quickly.
"Are you afraid you'll lose the game?" Dagger said slowly.
"Are you trying to DISTRACT ME?" Lizette said, blinking.
"Isn't everything in life a distraction?" Dagger said curiously. Zidane snickered behind her.
"Aren't you going to show me how to use your CD player?" Lizette asked her. Dagger gave Lizette her CD player a while ago, and said that she can use it.
"Don't you know that you can learn to work it yourself?" Dagger said.
Lizette sighed and put on the headphones of the CD player. She put on the 'on' button and music immediately blasted into Lizette's ears. Lizette looked at all of the songs that Dagger had on her play list, and some of them were country music.
"Don't you remember that I don't like country music?" Lizette reminded her.
"Isn't rock music for the TIMID and the WEAK?" Dagger told her.
"Isn't country music for those who FLEE and FORSAKE?" Lizette told her.
"Aren't you over analyzing music?" Dagger asked.
"Aren't you tired of listening to music?"
"Are you irritated?" Dagger said, putting her fist on her chin. As if she didn't notice that she was irritating Lizette.
"Oh isn't it obvious?" Lizette said, shrugging her shoulders.
Dagger sighed. She didn't want to ask questions during the whole trip. "Can we stop the silly game now?"
Lizette grinned. "Can't think of anything else to say?"
Geez! This girl is competitive! Dagger thought. Suddenly, Dagger came up with a plan.
"What?" Dagger said quickly.
Lizette opened her mouth and was about to ANSWER Dagger's question, but then shut her mouth. She smiled at Dagger.
"Do you think you almost had me there?" Lizette asked her.
"Where?"
"Do you think that you're UNBEATABLE?"
"Why?"
"Oh, do I have to explain EVERYTHING!?"
"When?"
"Can we stop NOW?" Lizette said, slightly irritated.
"How?"
Lizette sighed and tried to think of what she was going to say next. Suddenly, a light bulb appeared over Lizette's head.
"…Did you see the new 'Me and My Gang' music video?" Lizette said slowly.
"Psh! Of course I have!" Dagger said quickly.
Zidane nudged Dagger, trying to hint Dagger that she lost the game.
Dagger gasped and touched her lips, realizing what she had done.
"I'm not talking to you anymore!" Dagger said, shifting her body towards Zidane.
Lizette snickered and then went back to listening to music.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(Silence is in the room. Lizette is frowning, and she looks depressed.)
Dagger: Okay, what's wrong now?
Lizette: …
Dagger: School?
Lizette: …
Dagger: Friends?
Lizette: …
Dagger: Family?
Lizette: …
(More silence)
Dagger: ...Did you wet your bed again?
Lizette: NO! And what are you talking about? I never wet my bed! That's Zidane!
(Zidane blushes)
Dagger: So what's the problem?
Lizette: This chapter sucked! I didn't add a lot of detail in it, it sounds crappy, it…
(Dagger puts her hand over Lizette's mouth.)
Dagger: CAN YOU STOP WITH THE 'THIS CHAPTER SUCKS, I'M SO INNOCENT' SCENE!?
Lizette: But it does suck! I'm such a crappy writer…
Zidane: I thought it was very good.
(Dagger and Lizette look at Zidane shocked.)
Lizette: Okay, no more candy for you Ziddy-Widdy.
Lizette: Please send reviews! I love reading reviews!
Dagger: But she doesn't like reading flames.
Lizette: Yup yup!
