Helloooo! Have you forgotten about me yet? ;p, I know I have kinda been failing in the updating category, and I'm sorry… I swear I will do it more often (I say that every chapter, but this time it's true!):O and yes, this is still a Corney story to those who were wondering. I'ts just moving really slow… it will show in the next few chapters.

Anyway, with out further ado, here's the next chapter! Enjoy

Corey was in shock. Never in the entire time he had known Laney, had she ever hit or hurt him, and defiantly not others around! What had happened to her that ONE time he brought a girl to practice? Kin and Kon didn't even know what to do! And if KIN himself doesn't know what to do, the whole world will plunge into chaos!

"Kin! Are you sure that there is nothing wrong with Laney? What if it's the ghost of Otis that has come back to hurt us for ruining his music! What if it's Trina who hired a clone if Laney to get revenge for stealing her diary! What if-" Corey rambled for a while before Kin slapped him.

"Pull yourself together man! None of that stuff will EVER happen! EVER! Now, let me focus on this mission before you make your own head explode." Kin said while he duct taped Corey's mouth shut and turned back to a Laney picture he was writing his ideas on.

Corey grumbled unintelligibly and strummed pointlessly on his guitar. Kon came into the garage with nachos.

"Hey guys! I brought nachos!" Kin wordlessly reached over and stuffed his face. Kon looked down and frowned when he saw the empty bowl.

"Awww man….."Kon whined. Kin rolled his eyes and continued to draw on the picture. He was pretty sure he knew the answer, but he needed to make sure before telling Corey.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~NEXT DAY TRANSITION!~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Kin walked up to Laney's house, replaying a carefully planned speech in his head, in hopes of not messing up all his work. Once he got there, he rang the doorbell and waited nervously. When no one answered at first he rang it again, and was ready to leave until some one opened the door.

'finally' Kin thought and turned toward the open door.

"Kin! What are you doing here?" Laney asked, very surprised. Kin stared at her for a second before rushing through his words.

"AreyouinanywayorformjealousofthatblondgirlCoreyhasacrushon?" Kin hurried out. Laney gaped at him for a second before shaking her head quickly.

"Um… can you repeat that?" Kin opened his mouth to repeat the jumbled sentences before Laney raised her hand to stop him

"Maybe just a little slower." Kin frowned and started up again.

"Are you in anyway or form jealous of that blond girl Corey has a crush on?" Kin said again, much slower. Laney stared at him for a bit before blinking harshly.

"WHAT?! What are you talking about Kin," Laney laughed uneasily, " I'm not jealous of the girl Corey likes, he has the right to like who ever he wants…" She trailed off. Kin gave her a blunt stare. Laney looked away uncomfortably.

"Okay, tell me this," Kin said, grabbing her shoulders and peered at her face before continuing, "If Corey and that girl started dating, what would you do?" Laney scowled and folded her arms across her chest.

"I would do nothing. Go back to the thing I said earlier, Kin," She said, her voice sounding very clipped and cut-off, "But if I had a choice I would personally grab my water gun and shoot her on every date they have. I mean, she looks like a walking Barbie doll* so she must have a gallon of make- up on her face daily!" She smiled grimly. Kin looked at her.

"I was right! You ARE jealous of her!" Kin grinned successfully. Looking away, Laney muttered something out Kin's earshot and shrugged.

"Maybe only a little…" She said a bit louder. Kin pumped a fist into the air in victory.

"Yes! Now all I have to do is tell Corey and he can realize that the girl he currently has a crush on is a bunch of baloney and that he should go back to being our band manager, you can come back with us and we can all be happy, and Corey and you can be a couple! It's going to be perfect and-" Kin was cut off from his rant by a hand covering his mouth.

"Okay, whoa there Kin, slow down for minute. No one is going to be a couple, no one is rejoining the band, and NO ONE IS TELLING COREY!" She finished her sentence with a sharp glare towards Kin's glasses. Kin rolled his eyes and licked her hand over his mouth.

"EW! KIN! That's gross!" Laney shrieked as she franticly rubbed her hand on her jeans. Kin smiled.

"Bye Laney! Talk to me again later. Rejoin the band quickly!" Kin said as he ran from the house, Laney stood there staring after him.

'We didn't even go into the house." She thought as she closed the door they had been standing in for the past 15 minutes.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~MORE TIME SKIP TRANSITION!~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Laney sat in her room. It had been a few hours after she and Kin had their 'conversation', and she still wasn't over it. After the incident with Corey and the slapping, things had gotten different. Before, Corey had called her or texted her asking what was wrong. However, now she didn't receive anything from the band. Her meeting with Kin was the only way she knew that they still were wondering about why she quit.

Laney sighed and turned to her mirror. She stared at her reflection before glaring.

"What have you done Laney? Why did you slap him!" She scolded herself.

"I don't know, he made me mad! And that blond girl is just so stupid…" She said.

The mirror rolled its eyes.

"That's a good reason but you messed up enough to make KIN come over to knock sense into you!" Her reflection told her. The human Laney groaned.

"Fine, tomorrow I'll go see Corey and apologies. But not to the Barbie." She compromised. The mirror self nodded in approval.

Laney walked over to her bed and plopped face first on the blanket. She mentally slapped herself. No way she wanted to go see Corey tomorrow! Before she went to bed, she texted Kin to tell Corey that she would see him tomorrow, just so she couldn't back out. She fell asleep wishing to avoid the next day as much as possible.

DONE! Did you like it? I will post the next chapter soon, and this is a promise because I'm already working on it… No one believes me… :/ anyway, being true to my word I will let you all slap me for being soooo freaking late with this chapter. R&R please! (read and review) enjoy the summer before its over! BYE!
