Oh my god, I am so sorry. I was planning on saving up like 6 chapters to update with and i went to update them last week and all 9,392 words were deleted. I was so pissed because I lost everything on my computer. Music, pictures, video, E-V-E-R-Y-T-H-I-N-G! After ahile though I finally realized i should so just get over it 'cause they won't come back if I just mope around. The chapters aren't as long as I planned or quite the same but I started feeling SO bad about not updating for so long. Kill me if you want, but then remember I won't be able to those next few chapters. Okay so here one of them is!

Over the next few days everything pretty much went the same for the two girls, at least until Friday, the day before they both left. After a great amount of argument between the two Kelly adults, after Alex's father showed up and yelled at his wife for spending so much time with, quote, that damn Jimmy Cooper and his fucked up family, the Kelly's decided, to Alex and Marissa's disappointment, not to go to Peachland and just pack up for the holidays.

"I'm really going to miss you." Alex pouted hugging Marissa as she finished packing her clothes in her suitcase.

"Hmm, I'm not leaving until tomowwow."

"What are you getting at Rissa?"

"That I'm not leaving until tomowwow," Marissa giggled pulling back and laughing at Alex, "What awe you getting at?"

"Umm, nothing." Alex said with an I know something you don't know smile.

"Alex, I know you to well to buy that. Tell me please," Alex stayed silent, "Pretty please, pretty pretty please, pretty pretty pretty please, pretty pretty pretty pretty pretty please." Marissa stopped to catch her breathe and opened her mouth wide just when Alex started to talk.

"Maybe we could ask our parents about having a sleepover?"

Marissa's eyes widened, "Alex! That's a gweat idea." Marissa pulled Alex into another huge hug.

"Woahh there Riss, our parent haven't even agreed yet, and it might be kind of hard to with my dad around now."

"Well, I know my dad will say yes, and if we bwing my dad with us when we ask youw dad should be on his best behavior and agree."

"Yeah, that's true." Alex shrugged as she poked her head out of her tent in search of Jimmy Cooper. After Marissa joined her they waited outside for a while even after Alex's mom passed, knowing it would be best to ask Jimmy first and then bring him with them to ask Alex's parents, finally found Jimmy coming back from the lake.

"Mr. Cooper, Mr. Cooper!" Alex shouted as she jumped off the picnic table and over to the brunette.

"Hey, great to see you too Alex." Jimmy laughed as the two little girls appeared in front of him; obviously have something important to say. "So are you gonna' tell me what you have to say or just bounce there in anticipation?"

"Can me and Alex have a sleepovew?" Marissa blurted unable to hold it in any longer.

"I don't know can you?" Jimmy asked.

"May we?" Marissa said trying to act annoyed, but failing as Alex laughed at her attempt.

"Well, I say you can, but how about we go and see what Alex's parents have to say about that shall we?" Jimmy smiled walking towards the Kelly's camp. As he spotted Stacey he smiled and waved as Alex spoke.

"Mom, may Marissa and I have a sleepover?" she asked rubbing the may in Marissa's face as Jimmy laughed at this.

"Sure Alex."

"Umm, shouldn't we ask dads permission first?" Alex asked confused.

"Don't worry about it, I'll handle your father." Stacey smiled sweetly as Jimmy nodded his thanks.

10:00PM Marissa's Tent

"Okay, truth or dare?" Alex asked resting her head on her hand.

"Since when did we stawt this game?" Marissa asked raising an eyebrow.

"Since I said so."

"Good enough for me," Marissa giggled, " Umm, dare."

"Okay… I dare you to scream as loud as you can imitating an ape!" Marissa did as she was told, causing Jimmy to become worried.

"Girls, is everything okay in there?" Jimmy shouted from his tent worried.

"Uhh, yeah, sowwy dad." Jimmy didn't speak so Marissa and Alex both assumed he went back to sleep. But as Marissa turned around to talk to Alex, she wasn't there.

"Alex?" Marissa asked, but there was no answer. "Alex, this isn't funny. Come on, Alex." After about five minutes Marissa finally gave up and figured Alex probably just fell asleep under a blanket or pile of toys hiding. Marissa was just about to fall asleep when she thought she heard a noise. Probably just Alex rolling around in her sleep.

"BOO!" Alex jumped in the tent and on top of Marissa, causing the younger girl to scream.

"ALEX! That isn't funny! You almost gave me a heawt attack."

"Actually, it was very funny. And you're not old enough to have a heart attack until you're at least like eighty."

"That's not twue. My Aunt had one when she was fifty-seven."

"Yeah, fifty-seven. Still WAY older than you are."

"Whatevew, I still say it wasn't funny."

"Aww, come on Riss, it was just a joke, you'll get over it."

"Nope. I don't think so, it quns in the family to hold a gwudge you know."

Alex laughed at this, "It can't run in the family to hold a grudge."

"Yes it can. If my parents are always holding gwudges that's what I leawn to do."

"Well if you grow up like your mom, I'll hold a grudge against you for making a stupid choice."

"Twue." Marissa giggled. "What do you say we go to sleep, I'm getting weally tiwed and we both still have to get up in the mowning to finish packing."

"Say Rissa and I'll dop whatever you want." Alex teased.

"Alex, come on I thought we were over this."

"Sure of course we are." Alex said using as many R's as she could think up on the spot.

"Alexa-."

"You wouldn't." Alex said getting in a position to grab Marissa and cover her mouth at any second.

"You'we wight, I wouldn't." Marissa replied pretending to be scared of Alex. Alex picked up on this and laughed. "What's so funny now?"

"Your horrible attempts at acting." Alex laughed. Marissa pretended to be hurt and turned around staring away from Alex causing her to laugh even more. "See? You're no good at acting."

"Well it's not like I plan to become an actwess anyways so what does it mattew?"

"It doesn't. It's just funny how obvious you are when you're acting."

"I'm not a good at acting, but I'm not that howwible am I?" Marissa asked actually somewhat hurt.

"Are you acting to be hurt right now?"

"Umm, no I guess not."

"Then sorry. You're not a very good actress." Marissa laughed hiding her hurt.

"Come on, Riss. I didn't mean it that way."

Marissa cheered up, "Ever stop to think you just no me to well to buy my acting?"

"Nope."

"Oh." Marissa was once again disapointed.

Alex smiled hugging Marissa and pulled back to look into her eyes, "I don't have to stop and think about it, because I know I know you that well."
