A/n: Yay! Thanks for the reviews! You know I love them. All right, here's Part 3. I'm gonna call em parts. Yup yup.

Oh, and for those of you asking about some S/V... It's coming. I promise. Next part for sure. Maybe there will be some in this, I'm not sure. But definitely next one.

 Sigh. You know, school would be supremely enjoyable if it weren't for kilos of homework. Honestly, could Mrs. Frierson pick a worse time to load it on? She gives so much. And she's starting to scare me. She told us about this stuff we'll do next year in Algebra... It's terrifying. And yesterday she sent Kathleen and this other girl out in the hall because the other girl asked Kathleen a question in the beginning of class. Mrs. Frierson yelled at them for being loud and sent them outside. Then she kind of forgot about them... Kathleen said they talked with someone's mom who was walking by.

Not to mention I have a paper to write that's due Friday. But that's okay... I like to write. And this should be fun. Mr. Johnson made us read this story about these two guys that made a bet that they would met each other in twenty years, and then one ended up having to arrest the other one (sort of). So we're writing a paper on us meeting with our best friend in twenty years from now.

Oh dear. I just realized. I don't HAVE a best friend.

Poo. What am I going to do now? Hmm, I guess I can ask Sydney. That sounds awkward. ...Asking her for advice. I don't know. I'm so weird. I should just go do it when she gets home. Yes then, that's what I'll do.

And I just remembered, we start dissecting frogs on Monday. It's the least I can do to hope Dr. Kazsuk croaks before we whip out the scalpels.

4:03 PM
 Oh God. I can just picture him as this psycho serial killer with a scalpel in hand. And now I'm seriously horrified of him.

OH MY GOSH OH MY GOSH OH MY GOSH OH MY GOSH OH MY GOSH OH MY GOSH OH MY GOSH!

Inhale, exhale.

OH MY GOSH OH MY GOSH OH MY GOSH OH MY GOSH OH MY GOSH OH MY GOSH OH MY GOSH OH MY GOSH OH MY GOSH!!!

Well, first things first. Happy Friday! But anyway, so at lunch Jess invited me to spend the night at her house!!!!! I'm so excited. I still have to ask Vau- Dad but I'm sure he'll say yes. Ahhh!! I can't wait! She said to come over around sevenish, and she gave me directions to her house. She said we could go see a movie with a bunch of her siblings. I'm told she has a gimundo family, like five sisters and a brother. And one of her sisters is her twin! She has an identical twin! How cool is that!? I'm so excited. Oh my gosh.

Now that that's out of my system... What else is new? Oh! That paper I wrote for English turned out to be really good. I talked to Sydney about it, and we decided I didn't have to write about a best friend because Mr. Johnson didn't say it had to be a best friend, he only suggested it. She thought I should do Father... So I did. It was really hard, but I did it. I got all depressed last night thinking about it. So many things remind me of him, and they bring me down a bit. I don't tell anyone, though, I just hold it all in. I know it can't be good. But I can't let everyone around me get sad by it too. It shouldn't affect them. I don't want it too. I'm sure this will all blow up in my face eventually, but until then, I can stay content for a while.

3:44 PM

But there is a change of plans: they're picking me up instead of Vaughn taking me over there. But I'm still going, regardless.

YES, YES, YES, YES, YES!

4:50 PM
I love when Vaughn gets home early. Oh man, oh man, I'm so excited!!!

11:15 PM
AHH! I'M HAVING SO MUCH FUN! Jess is instant messaging on her computer, I'm sitting on her bed writing here, and Krissy (that's Jess's twin) is sleeping in her bed on the other side of the room. We went and saw Lord of the Rings because I hadn't seen the second one yet and since someone mentioned that I looked like Eowyn (which I suppose I do. A little bit).

Boy does Jess have a big family. And a huge ginormous house. Kathleen says her parents are like crazy rich. Don't doubt it. This house – this neighborhood – all huge. Anyway. There's her mum and dad, both very nice. And her oldest sister is Roxy, then Kelly, then Amanda, then Sara, and then her and Krissy, and she has a little brother Adam. All her sisters came ot the movie with us, and her mom too, but her brother and dad stayed home. I don't blame them, all those girls! Craziness. Roxy's a twelfth grader, I think they call it a senior? Maybe. She's very, very outgoing, more so than Jess, and she loves to sing. Well. They all love to sing. And they're all really good singers. Kelly's a ninth grader, but I don't remember what they call that. I don't understand the silly names Americans create for everything. They're quite obnoxious, frankly. Grade (insert number here) seems perfectly acceptable.

Er.

Anyway, Kelly's far more sedate. She has this really long dark hair, probably as long as mine but not nearly as wavy. Then there's Amanda and Sara. They're both in eighth grade but they aren't twins. I guess Sara is adopted but I don't really know the story. Jess didn't seem terribly willing to talk about it. Sara is the only one who doesn't sing. She plays trumpet or trombone or something. Amanda is really nice and funny. And, well next is Jess. Crazy. And Krissy. Crazy too, but in a different way. They're so different, Jess and Krissy. But they're so alike too. I can't describe it. She's in Team 72. She hates it. Sara and Amanda are both in Team 83. I hear it's the best one in eighth grade.

Her brother! Can't forget him. His name is Adam, not to be confused with Adam Wingertsahn. (Little) Adam is in third grade. And he thinks girls are

11:26 PM
 Oh great. Now Jess is telling me everyone's family history... Here goes my summary:
Kathleen is an only child, just lives with her parents.
Fini (short for Serafina) has two older sisters in grades 9 and 10, Chiara and Giovanna, her dad died when she was little and they live with her mom, who is kind of uptight.
Dee (short for Diandra) is adopted, and so is her grade 11 sister Kelli.
Adam has an older brother, Matt, who is dating Jess's sister, Roxy. Oooh la la!
Danny has an older sister, Betsy, grade 10, and Jess thinks two older brothers but she doesn't know how old. (She thinks like college or already out.)

I really hope she doesn't ask me about my family now. Please, please, don't make me lie about it all.

So who was that lady watching TV with your dad? Jess just asked.

Oh no. Please don't venture further down the path of no return... Oh. That was Sydney. She's my dad's girlfriend. She lives with us. She goes on a mad typing rampage and it doesn't seem like she has further questions. Whew. That was a close one.

So who are you talking to? My turn to do the asking around here.

Adam and Kathleen. Do you have a screen name? I shake my head. We should get you one. That way we can talk all the time.

11:33 PM
She just grunted. That's kind of peculiar. Dare I ask? God, Adam Wingertsahn is so annoying! That's is, I'm blocking him. She follows up her statement by laughing maniacally. What have I gotten myself into? So what do you think of Sydney and your dad?

12:02 AM
 OMG! I'm only writing this now before I go to sleep so I don't forget anything. So I rambled on and on about Syd and Dad (I mean after she asked me the question) and somehow we got to talking about how I never knew my mum, and then we started talking to Kathleen about it and asked if I wanted Dad and Syd to get married.

Married!

Wow, I've never really thought about that before. I mean, things wouldn't really be all that different, would they? We'd all be happier I guess (Is that possible!?) and then Syd would be my mom... Then Krissy yelled at us for being to loud and she left the room.

Anyway, we started talking about how I always wanted a mom, and Jess came up with this idea that we hook them up and make sure they get married. We're calling it Operation: Marry My Dad. Kathleen proclaimed herself the Captain because the idea was inspired by her. Then Jess said she was the Sergeant, and she said I could be the Admiral. Admiral Aislin. Well, I'm off to bed. We have loads of planning to do in the morning.

12:08 AM
:)

A/n: Well, I'm not as pleased with it as I hoped I would be, but the next chapter, er, part, should be better. I promise you there will be some S/V fluff in the next part. Please review!
