"So…" Mandy started. She and Joe were sitting at a table at TGIF. "So…" Joe dragged out.

"Wanna make out in the bathroom now … or after we eat?" Mandy asked.

Joe looked around the restaurant quickly and then back at Mandy, "Now!" he exclaimed, as the two ran off from their seats.

"TOUCHDOWN!" Miley exclaimed, throwing her hands in the air in celebration. "Miley…we're playing basketball" Nick shook his head playfully. Miley slowly put her hands down, "I uh, I knew that .. I uh, just thought that…" she paused. "OOHH LOOK IT'S NOAH!" she exclaimed, pointing towards the little girl who was crossing the street with Frankie. "AND FRANKIE!" Nick exclaimed.

The two small children froze in their places, "run while you can!" Noah whispered to the little boy.

Both ran back to the Jonas' estate. Frankie tripped over a garden hose once, but quickly regained his balance and sped off to follow Noah's lead.

"Hmm…was it something we said?" Nick asked.

"Would you rather make out with a lizard or vampire?" Joe asked Miley as the five of them sat on the edge of Miley's pool, sipping iced tea. "Uh, I guess a lizard, cause it's more likely a vampire would bite me" Miley contemplated.

Mandy left out a hearty laugh, but quickly smacked her hand over her mouth to cover it up. "What?" Miley giggled. "Nothing, it's just…" she paused, "I would so totally pick the vampire, I mean they're sexy and if you get bitten you become immortal!"

The group fell silent, "I'm proud to call her my girlfriend" Joe smiled, wrapping his arm around Mandy's shoulders. "Moving on…" Kevin laughed.

"Alright" Joe sighed, "Nick, would you rather make out with zebra or a wall …"

Nick was about to respond when Joe interrupted him, "Rus, a walrus. HA! I bet you thought I meant wall didn't you?"

"Dude…" Kevin shook his head.

"So I'll sit with you at lunch tomorrow?" Braisen asked Bridget who was on the other line. "Great, so I'll see you tomorrow?" he smiled into the phone. "Alright, see you then!" he exclaimed. He flipped his cell phone shut and smiled, he then walked over towards his bedroom door and reached for the knob. He quickly turned it and opened the door. Miley, Mandy and Noah had all been listening in with their ears pressed up against the door, causing them to fall onto the floor; right on top of each other.

Braisen glared at them as each one of them hopped up from the ground. "Were you listening in on my phone call?" he asked, suspiciously. Noah's face went red, Mandy just started stuttering and Miley took the lead, "Psh, of course not Brais! What kind of people do you take us for?"

He just sighed as he pushed his way past them and out the door. "SO WHO'S THIS BRIDGET GIRL!?!" Noah called after him.

Nick sat on his top bunk, writing in his journal. It was exactly a "manly" thing to do so he kept it to himself.

Dear Journal,
Today was gr-

"MOM!" Joe shouted up the stairs, "WHAT'S FOR DINNER? HOPEFULLY IT'S NOT STEAK CAUSE YOU KNOW I'M ALLERGIC TO IT!"

Nick rolled his eyes and crossed out what he had originally written and tried to get back on topic.

Dear Journal,
Today
"JOSEPH!" Mrs. Jonas called down the stairs, "HOW MANY TIMES DO I HAVE TO TELL YOU!? YOU ARE NOT ALLERGIC TO STEAK!"

Nick sighed, annoyed. He just wanted to be able to think properly!

Dear Journal,

"BUT, THE JUICE YOU PUT ON IT MAKES ME ITCHY!" Joe complained, now at the bottom of the staircase.

Dear Jour

"YOU ITCH YOURSELF INTENTIONALLY!" Mrs. Jonas declared.

Dear J

"I DO NOT, I JUST-"

"I GIVE UP!" Nick shouted, finally throwing his journal down; giving up.

Miley and her mom sat at the kitchen table, chucking corn for dinner that night. Miley had been thinking about a certain topic all day, but she didn't know when to bring it up. Now seemed as if the perfect time. "Mom?" she asked.

Trish looked up from the corn in her hands and smiled, "Yeah Miles?"

Miley knitted her eyebrows together; thinking, "How did you know when you were in love with Dad?"

Trish smiled at her daughter, "You just know these things, there are certain things you begin to notice. The way their hair falls, the way their lips part, how shiny their eyes are. The list can go on and on and on…"

Miley nodded her head, "What else did you notice about Dad?"

"Well he's great at sports, that's for sure"

They both turned their heads to the back glass door and peered through it to find Billy Ray throwing the baseball with Braisen.

"THAT'S IT SON! JUST TOSS IT A LITTLE LONGER!" he exclaimed.

Braisen pulled his arm back and let the ball rip, it flew all the way to Billy Ray; bonking him on his head.

"Oh good Lordy!" Billy Ray exclaimed, holding his head in pain.

Miley looked back at her mom expectantly.

"And I am proud to call him my husband"


Anyone like this chapter? I HOPE YOU DID! (ignore the screaming) I'm just overly excited at the moment ... personal reasons. Ha.
