Thanks to all of you who put this story on your favorite/follow list! It means a lot to me :D

starkidllamas-llama: OTP feels won't really be coming any time soon, so I'm glad you could fangirl over our favorite StarKid couple!

TearsOfaClown: I know right? It makes me excited too.

starkid5ever32: LaurWalk 5ever :)

Guest (1st review): Seriously? A Ron/Red Vines fanfic? I don't know about that...

Guest (2nd review): Just wait until you fall off the seat with the amount of suspense I'm planning for later chapters *evil laugh* You'll hate me then!

Starkidwhovian: I'll try to make other parts so beautiful that you cry again :) Brian Holden is actually a big part of the story, but the main people involved are mostly Lauren, Walker, and three secret other people *evil laughs again* And if you want a reference, just PM me what you want your reference to be and I'll put it in where I can!

Wow, I feel so popular it's so great! Anyway, keep sending in the reviews! I'd like to know how I'm doing and what I need to fix for my future StarKid/Starship fanfics.

Be warned: This chapter is filled with a bunch of cliffhangers. SO DON'T HATE ME!

Disclaimer: I don't own the StarKids, but I sure as hell would definitely love to own Brolden, Brosenthal, and Walks! Sadly, I can't own people though :(

"We're not going to cancel the vacation just because Lauren just got out of the hospital, Dare. We just gotta take it easy with her. She's been moody lately, and we're not going to cancel it. You know how excited she was about it!." Julia was irritated as Darren tried to convince the StarKids to cancel their month long vacation to Colorado, but none of them were hearing it.

"Juls, Lauren's not up for a vacation. I'm not going to make her go on a vacation if she doesn't want to go anymore!" Darren ran a hand through his black, unruly, curly hair and sighed loudly, not sure why Julia was so bent on making sure Lauren went with the rest of the StarKids to Colorado.

"Why don't you just ask Lauren what she thinks?" Lauren's voice came from behind Joe Walker, who had just walked into the room, and both Darren and Julia looked down at their feet ashamed as Joe sat down in an armchair, revealing Lauren standing in the doorway wearing leggings, her purple sparkly Toms, and an oversized black hoodie with StarKid printed on it. "I want to go to Colorado."

"You just got out of the hospital!" Darren shouted, losing his control for a second, and Lauren crossed her arms.

"The fresh mountain air will probably do me some good, Darren Everett Criss, so shut up and tell us when we're going and how we're getting there." She raised her eyebrows at him, and they had a silent stare-down with everybody looking at them, not sure what would happen when Lauren won (she always won a staring contest).

Finally, Darren let out a sigh and looked down, shaking his head. "We go on the vacation in three months, and the bus will be driving us to Colorado. Be ready." Darren nodded once and looked around, meeting the eyes of Julia before leaving the room in a huff. Lauren sighed and leaned against the door frame, knowing that she wouldn't see Darren again until they all left for the actual vacation. She came out of her thoughts to see that everyone was looking at her.

"I'll be in my room packing in advance so I don't forget anything." Lauren stated before leaving the room, and Joe let out a long and low breath, turning everyone's eyes towards him.

"You got something to say Joe?" Alex Grace Paul, one of the newest members of StarKid said, and he shook his head.

"Not really, no." He sighed and scratched his neck before standing up. "I'm gonna go pack. Alone." Joe looked like a mixture of sad and anger as he left the room to go to his bedroom, and Brosenthal shook his head.

"We really have to do something about Joe." Brosenthal frowned and crossed his arms. Alex patted his shoulder reassuringly and Denise cleared her throat.

"I just hope this vacation does the both of them some good." She said, and Dylan nodded, stroking her hand with his thumb absentmindedly. "We all really need this, especially Lauren and Walker. They've been avoiding each other since she woke up at the hospital with him in the room."

"I just hope that they can work this out." Evanna Lynch said as she walked into the room, and everybody nodded.

"Well, I guess we should go pack in advance like Lauren. Wouldn't want to pack last minute like Darren usually does." AJ Holmes said and he stood up, leaving the room with Evanna, and the rest followed behind them.

Jaime was sitting on the bed in Joey's bedroom in the manor and looked around, wishing Joey was here so he could offer her a Red Vine, even though she wasn't allowed to eat them like the doctor said.

She let out a big sigh and stood up, getting ready to leave the room, but she tripped over something on the ground that she hadn't seen before, and she frowned. Jaime bent down to pick it up, and wasn't sure what Joey had a shoe box in his room for, but shesoon figured it out when she opened the box.

Inside was a marriage certificate.

Meredith was looking in her closet for her travel bag and moved around some stuff on a top shelf, but she could barely reach it. Just then, her cell phone rang and she jumped, causing the box in her hands to spill out its contents all over her. She cursed and pushed the various papers, scripts, and music sheets off of her to answer the phone.

Just then a piece of paper caught her eye with its bright and sparkly golden border, and she slowly picked it up, hoping it wasn't what she thought it was.

But it was. And the piece of paper brought back unhappy memories. She quickly stuffed the paper into her pocket and went to go answer her phone, which had just been ringing for the second time.

Lauren set her phone down and took in a shaky breath. It wasn't possible. No way. She couldn't be this way still, especially after what had happened to her.

But the doctor was right. He had been concerned about her not being able to sleep and getting tired quickly. So he made her take a few tests. And she passed all of them.

ALL. OF. THEM.

Now Lauren didn't know what to do, especially because it wasn't supposed to be possible in the first place. But it was her (former) best friend she was talking about, so she had to let it slide by.

She stared down again at the object in her hand and sighed, biting her lip. She stuffed it under her bed before she did anything stupid and continued packing like it was absolutely nothing. Lauren had four more months to figure it out. Just four.

The woman looked around and quickly pulled her hood down as her companion came up next to her.

"Have you received word from him yet?" The man asked, and she shook her head, frowning and crossing her arms. "Damn. We need the money for the next drop-off."

"I do have information about his whereabouts." The woman interrupted her husband's speech and they shared a smirk. But it disappeared from both their faces at her next words. "But they're still with the StarKids. Our daughters. Pity that they were taken from us just because we were 'horrible parents'." She rolled her eyes and the man balled his fists.

"Don't worry. We'll find them soon." He gritted through his teeth and the woman stopped looking around, giving him a wary glance. "Besides, it's not their lives we'll be ending if we don't get the money soon."

"Yeah, I know." The woman interrupted his talking once again and he frowned at her before leaning against the brick wall of their meeting place.

"We're after Dylan Saunders."

I know it's a short chapter but I liked how it ended this way with the suspense and all that shit. So yeah!

Please review, and comment on what you think each little part is about!

Hope you enjoyed it, and I'll see y'all next time!
