!LOOOK HERE!

1/4/2012: Hey, I just changed up a few things. It's after Alex says, "And how do you know I'm not growing up?" I hope you like it.

Today Harper and Alex were meeting up for lunch. Or more like, Harper was picking Alex up. Harper had thought of the idea because she thought hadn't hung out in a while. At the time, Alex was about to remind her that they had recently seen each other at the family dinner. But she let it go just to make Harper happy.

Harper was very excited for the lunch. When she got up in the morning, it was about seven. She scolded herself for getting up that early for no reason. It was the weekend so she didn't have to take Jake to his pre-school. Besides it wasn't possible for Alex Russo to be awake at this time. Plus they were meeting at noon. She got up anyway and started to make some breakfast.

A few hours later, Harper was ready to go. She checked on her family just in case then left. She felt really good. Something about today just made her happy, a gut feeling.

When Harper arrived at Alex's apartment she rang the doorbell and waited. A few seconds late, she rang the doorbell again. She heard the lock turn then Alex scream, "IT'S OPEN!"

Harper walked in and saw Alex lying on the couch eating a pickle with a jar of pickles in her lap.

"Alex!" Harper yelled. "Why aren't you ready?"

"For what? I just woke up!" Alex said.

"For lunch!" Harper said.

"Oooooh, didn't I send you a text saying 'I don't feel like going out today lets cancel'?" Alex asked.

"No?" Harper said. Alex reached for her phone on the coffee table. She typed a few things then put her phone down. Harper's phone buzzed in her purse. She pulled it out and read the text from Alex. It said, 'I don't feel like going out today lets cancel'. Harper couldn't believe Alex. Well, actually she could. But that didn't make her less mad.

"Alex! How do you live like this? You're not a teenager anymore! Grow up! What if you have a baby? Is this how you are going to act with your child?" Harper yelled at Alex not seeing the look Alex got when she mentioned her having a kid. Alex suddenly felt mad. How could her best friend talk to her like that? As if she didn't know her or understand her.

"And how do you know I'm not growing up?" Alex said in a surprisingly calm tone. She picked up her phone again and texted her best friend. It took Harper a bit to process the information. Then she felt like a giant piano just fell on her.

"O MY GOD NO WAY! FINALLY!" Harper said freaking out. She was going on and on about stuff that Alex didn't understand because she was talking too fast. Finally harper stopped at, "Why didn't you tell me?"

"For this exact same reason." Alex said. That wasn't completely true. It was mostly because she didn't think about it. But that didn't mean that wasn't a reason.

"Sorry," Harper apologized. Then screamed and crushed her in a big hug. then pulling away, harper added, "When do we start planning?"

This time Alex screamed.

Ya, ok I'm not that good with updating! Sorry! But I wasn't gonna leave 2011 without updating this story. Plus my computer is acting weird! I can hardly type good without something popping up! Sheesh!

(I turn to look outside my window and see trucks and things being moved around)

Me: Weird…

(Looking back in my room I notice everything is pink, way too pink.)

Me: And why is everything so cartoony?

(I stick my head out of the window and look around at a backyard that's so not mine. And then…)

Me: PHINEAUS AND FERB!

Isabella: Candice screaming at Phineaus and Ferb… Check!

(And why am I being called Candice! No fair, I don't get to pick my own character!)

Me: Till the next chapter! If there are any typos or anything you want to suggest let me know! I'll be glad to fix it! Sorry for the delay… I am soooooooo gonna tell mom!

(Why'd I say that?)

BTW: I hope you enjoy the beginning of the new year!
