Author's Note: Thanks to MissShelz (no kidding!) and Riptide2 for reviewing the last chapter! I own nothing but Mallory


Mikaela glanced at her charging phone the next morning and then powered up her computer, logging into The Connection. Mallory had left last night but just as she had thought Mal had posted a new blog post this morning.

Music, Birthdays, and All That Jazz

So yesterday was interesting. Yesterday morning I woke up to Life After You by Daughtry (my depressing song if you don't know already) as my alarm. Great job J and B...not! Then Kaela had left me a note saying to meet her at her boyfriends. DarkSide drove me over but when I went in the boyfriend's mother told me they had just went to Kaela and my's house. So I go outside only to see that DarkSide has left. The boyfriend's mother offers to drive me (which is terrifying) and I politely decline. I go outside and call Kaela who tells me she'll come pick me up on her scooter and we'll go to the lake to make up for the miscommunication. I sit there for twenty minutes before she arrives. We finally get to the lake only to find out that they had planned a surprise party for the two of us. Somehow they kept both of us out of the loop. Definitely the most fun I've had in a while

JazzySide: So am I forgiven for the song?

BadGirl: Yes. You didn't know any better

DarkSideOfTheLaw: Sorry angel but I couldn't stand to hear anymore Sugarland after the drive here

BadGirl: *snickers*. By the way all, tomorrow we'll have some new members from the island.

AutobotKaela: Can't believe you're actually awake already!

BadGirl: Fell asleep on the way to the rest stop we're currently at. Haven't left yet so I could post this

AutobotKaela: I bet HiddenStrength is still sleeping...

HiddenStrength: Am not!

CamaroScout: Four words; mother with baseball bat

AutobotKaela: ...

BadGirl: Some wake up call

Silverpsycho: Wimp!

CamaroScout: Obviously you haven't met Judy yet

BulletProof: Nope. He hasn't

BadGirl: I want a video of when it happens!

Silverpsycho: ...

AutobotKaela: I want a video too!

HiddenStrength: I'll try to make one for you guys if it ever happens

DarkSideOfTheLaw: So am I forgiven for the music choice as well?

BadGirl: I guess so...

DarkSideOfTheLaw: Good because we need to get going so we don't freak out your Aunt by coming back late

BadGirl: ...The manipulations never end
