Thanks you guys for the reviews! I know the ending of this is pretty abrupt, but I had no clue how to end it, so I thought I'd just end it there.


Alice walked into the dorm, letting out a small breath as she closed the door. She sat her books down on the kitchen table, and walked to the fridge, grabbing a water bottle. As she took a sip, she heard music playing, and she walked over to her bedroom door, thinking she'd left her radio on this morning. She walked into the room and walked over to her radio, but found that is was turned off.

That's weird... she thought.

Alice walked out of her room and shut the door, but saw that Savannah and Marti's bedroom door was open a bit. She walked closer, and she smiled a little as she peeked through, seeing Savannah playing a melody on her keyboard.

"...We'll be making love the whole night through, so I'm saving all my love, yeah I'm saving all my love, yes I'm saving all my love for you..."

Savannah sings? she thought. She didn't even know Savannah knew any music other than the Christian and Gospel CDs she has.

Savannah let out a small breath, and she looked around for a few seconds, before realizing that Alice was standing at the door way. "Oh... I'm sorry, did I disturb you?"

Alice shook her head. "No. You have an amazing voice. I didn't even know you could sing."

"It's kind of a hidden talent. When I was younger, I was in a talent show that aired locally in Millington. It was kind of like Young Talent Time and Kids Incorporated."

"Oh. That's cool. I'll have to search around for it sometime."

"It's on YouTube. Look for Savvy."

"Savvy?"

"My mother's bright idea. I hated it."

"Do you always imitate Whitney Houston's songs, or was that just a warm up for the real opera voice?"

Savannah laughed a little and shook her head. "I'm not that good. I just have good range. I tried opera. Didn't go very well."

"Well, regardless, you have an amazing voice. You should show it off."

"I don't think I have the guts to perform like I used to. I was a kid back then."

"We have a live broadcasting benefit concert for the university coming up in a few weeks, to congratulate the senior class. You should do it. The rest of the team is doing something; the captain has to top us off."

"I don't know..."

"Come on. You have a great voice. You could sing that song."

"Alice, that song is about loving someone. Do we really love the seniors? They tell us to go home every pep rally we have."

"We aren't freshmen anymore; we're sophomores. They can't do it to us. Besides, it's basically for entertainment. Everyone is doing something different. Some are dancing, some are cheering, some are singing. I heard someone's going to sing a Spice Girls song."

Savannah shrugged. "I'll think about it."

"You should do it. You'll do great."

"Thanks."

"Hey, I thought you had the rugrat from now on?"

"Oh, I do; Marti and Lewis have her. They went to the gymnastics gym to let her play around."

"Oh... They spend a lot of time together."

"Well, they like each other."

"Yeah, I can tell."

Savannah bit her lip lightly and she looked at her keyboard for a few seconds, before looking at Alice again. "Will you help me go over my notes? There's some I can't hit."

Alice smiled. "Sure..."


"Mommy tount!"

Savannah chuckled a little, and she stopped her routine, looking at Leilani. "Hey, I don't need to count once I have it down. You're not even a cheerleader, you can't tell me how to do my own job."

"I cheerader."

"Yeah? Show me."

"Doh Mawti!" Leilani said, putting her hands in the air and kicking her feet.

"Aww, thank you, Lani. I'm gonna do a whole lot better now," Marti said.

"Hey, you're supposed to cheer for Mommy," Savannah said, sitting next to Leilani.

"Mommy no tount," Leilani said.

"Well, I don't need to count. Marti didn't count either."

"Mawti better."

"Oh. That's nice. Thank you for turning against me."

"Yous weltum."

Marti laughed. "Come on Mommy; that was funny."

"Yeah, it was. It's just not fair that you're so cute," Savannah said, pulling Leilani up to her lap.

"Well, it's your fault; she looks just like you."

"Nah, she has her daddy's traits too. She has his nose. She can't have mine."

"Because yours is fake," Patty said, walking past them.

"Shut it, Wedge."

"Your nose is fake?" Marti asked.

"It's not fake, it's just... improved? I was born with a ninety-seven percent deviated septum and I had it fixed a couple years ago."

"How did you get on the squad with breathing problems?"

"Vanessa told me if I had it fixed, she'd hold off auditions until I was fully recovered to give me a fair chance."

"And then you got captain."

"Kind of. Alice and I went up against each other. She stumbled in a routine, and I had a good back hand spring layout. Then I got captain."

"Oh. Is that why she doesn't like you?"

"I don't know. I'm not sure what her deal is. It's annoying. I try to ignore it."

"It must be hard."

"It is. But it's just the way she is. Can't change a person."

"Mommy, I pway," Leilani said.

"Okay, go to Patty."

Savannah watched Leilani run over to Patty, and she let out a small breath. "...She keeps growing. She should stop."

"She's almost a whole three years old now, Mommy. What are you gonna do when she turned ten?" Marti asked.

"Don't make me think about that, that's eight years into the future."

"She's already acting like a teenager. Look at that, she just gave Lewis a kiss."

Savannah looked over to Leilani, and she smile, seeing Lewis kiss her cheek. "Aw..."

"She's so cute. I want a little girl like her."

"You can have her."

"Nah, she's yours."

"Savannah, I think your kid's flirting with me," Lewis said.

Savannah laughed a little and she walked over to them, tickling Leilani's stomach. "Are you flirting with my Lewis?"

"No, mine," Leilani said.

"Nuh uh, he's mine."

"No. Mine."

"Well, how come he can't be mine?"

"He mine."

"Well, fine then, but I get Dan."

"No."

Lewis laughed a little. "If you get me, Mommy gets Dan, otherwise it's the other way around."

"No."

"You're no fun," Savannah said. "You guys can leave whenever. We've been here for three hours."

"Alright," Lewis said.

"Come on, Lani; we gotta go to Mommy and Marti's room. We're gonna go out with Dan tonight, and you have to smell good and look pretty."

"I pwetty," Leilani said.

"You're very pretty, but you kinda stink, so let's go. You were supposed to get a bath last night."

"No baf."

"Yes, bath," she said, taking Leilani from Lewis. "You sweat up a storm last night."

"I no sweat."

"You did. You stink. And your hair needs to be washed anyways, so say good bye to Lewis. You'll see him later or tomorrow."

"Bye bye."

"Bye, Kiddo," Lewis said.

"Mommy need baf, Mommy 'tink."

"Oh, I know. I can smell Mommy a mile away."

Leilani laughed, and Savannah scoffed playfully. "Well, I know who my true friends are. You guys are meanies."

"I no meanie," Leilani said.

"Yeah, you are."

"No I not."

"Yes, you are."

"No!"

"Yes."

Leilani's bottom lip started quivering and she started crying, making Savannah roll her eyes.

"Oh my goodness, child. You need a friggin' nap," Savannah said, walking towards the door.

"No nap!"

"Yes, nap."

"Want me to save the day? You can get in the shower, I'll get her calmed down and excited for her bath and nap," Marti said, catching up to Savannah.

"Would you? I'd love you forever."

"You said that when I told you I'd hold your hair back during your hangover, too."

"Yeah, yeah, don't rub it in."
