Author's Note:
Sorry I've just been updating and not writing author notes!! Thankyou very very very very much to the reviewers/readers! I hope you guys like this story! I'm sorry if it's going at a really slow pace, I promise it'll get fairly interesting soon! I've made a few changes to the original Emma story, just a few changes! Don't worry, nothing too big….I hope!
Basically in my version of Emma, Robert Martin doesn't get jilted til after the whole 'John Elton-Harriet Smith' episode! Thankyou once again for the very encouraging reviews and I hope this story doesn't disappoint you all! Hope you guys all had a very lovely Christmas and a Happy New Year! I have a feeling 08 is going to be great!
Cheerio,
Em xox

Why not? Pretty cool theme. Well, me and Taylor are going as
Barbie and Ken. Hahah. I know. Hot.
Nope, didn't bother. Herr Schmidt's gonna fry my ass.

But I have to go through the whole process of finding
a date. Since it's a couple thing.
So won't bother. Barbie and Ken? Original.
Hm…..lemme think about it….nope!
Ok,ok, bad boy.

thanks man! You rock my world! So?
I'll find you someone! How about Vanessa….Sam's sister.
yr11. I think. You can always take Tiffany or Anna…if you're really
outta people. You'll find someone. You're hot with the chicks.

Subject: OMG pleeez read this!
OMG! I swear I'm going to die from laughter! Augusta ' Gussy' Hawkins
just sent me this really really gay and retarded email!
She needs to get things straight!
Gussy and EmEm aren't very attractive names
Gussy and I aren't ' besties'! Hell no!
She's a social outcast/slut
Her friends are crazy if they ever thought she had good fashion taste!
( She once wore a full Dalmatian FUR dress suit…Cruella De Vil..need I say more?)
I'll NEVER go shopping with her. OVER MY DEAD BODY.
She's talking like a bimbo cheerleader. Preppy and annoying.
( But I don't think I want to see her in a cheerleading outfit. That'll scar me for life.)
Daniel Hall is hot. But so is Michael Jackson.
Yes, you need a DATE for the Donwell dance. (So that'll be a problem for her )
And yes, you need to be INVITED. (That's another problem)
Going as twin fairies or princesses? Oh please, what grade are we in again? The guys will be princes?
Oh no, I think they can pass off as transvestites and go as princesses too! ( sarcastic)
And me going as your date? Right. I'm not going to say anything.
That has got to be the most loser-like crap email ever!
I have no idea why John Elton ever went out with her! She is so….how did she get Dux last year?!
Did she pay someone to do her work?!
Good thing they broke up a long time ago. Otherwise, I would never let him go with Harriet.
P.S: Can you come over to help me with Maths? Tonight? Please. So stuck.

Subject: Re:
Why can't you just be nice for once?! She just wants to be your friend. Augusta's not that bad, you know.
She's not a slut, Emma. If she is one, then what does that make you?
Hate to break it to you. But you also talk like a bimbo cheerleader sometimes too.
I have no idea why you chicks get so hot and bothered about stuff so much!
So what if she has different fashion taste?!
You don't see us guys rejecting some dude because he wears….I dunno….
a Kmart brand shirt and not polo, or something equally crap like that.
Hall's a good footie player and mate, so you shut up, Emma.
And about the dance. What d'ya mean ' And me going as your date?
Right. I'm not going to say anything.'????
What's wrong with me?
Yeah I guess I can come over tonight. Only if I can watch the cricket after.
Aus vs England. Can not miss.
By the way, leave Elton ALONE! He doesn't need you matchmaking him.

I'm not a slut! You think Augusta's not that bad?? Yeah, only because you don't have any lessons with her!
She scabs answers off me! And I'm ok with helping and stuff, but only if she ASKS!
And then she pretends I COPIED off her when I start eyeballing her!
' Oh Emma! If you wanted help, you only need to ask! We're best friends!'
If she says that one more time….I'll stick my Bic pen into her eyeballs.
Us chicks get hot and bothered about fashion because
we're aware of the changing world around us. Who do you know still goes around wearing tight flared jeans
with ELVIS PRESLEY HAIRDOS and crazily patterned shirts??
Kmart brand shirt? Shocking.
Yeah, yeah, whatever. I think John and Harriet will be great together. I don't care what you think.
Fine, fine. Dave…..PLEASE TAKE ME AS A DATE TO THE DANCE!!!!!
Please please please. I'll tell your mum I was the one who trampled over her roses, if you take me!
Davey, pretty please. I need to go and take pictures of Harriet and John dancing!
I'll even let you pick who we're going as.
Please take me, Davey!
