So, I think I will be starting a one-shot series! After this goes up, I will start working on it immediately! And, STEWART AND EMMA WILL GET BACK TOGETHER. I've had a lot of questions and requests about that, so it will happen. Thank you to all the guests, Rebel Belle, and especially sunflowerstar481 and Dess4ever for commenting on both chapters! All your comments make my day! You guys are so awesome! On with chapter 3!

Emma's POV

"So that was my failed freestyle skiing experience," Jonas finishes his story. I burst out laughing. He had countered his skiing story when I told him about ice dancing in seventh grade. We're at Kimball Farm, just talking like best friends.

I check the time on my phone. 6:30. "Whoa, time flew by. I better get going."

"Oh, that's okay. I can drive you home," Jonas replies. "I'm here all week to entertain the twins." I laugh again.

He hops into the driver's seat of Josh's pickup truck, and I slide into the passenger's seat. "Do you drive yet?" he asks.

"No. I don't turn 16 until June, so I only have my permit. It kind of stinks, because all my friends have their licenses, and so does my brother. But, I mean, I can hitch a ride from them, so I'm not totally complaining." Now it's Jonas's turn to laugh.

"So you're 15. Are you a sophomore in high school?" I nod. "Well, I'm a junior, but I'm the youngest junior in my school. I don't turn 17 until July."

"I think I'm the youngest sophomore. But maybe it just feels that way because everyone is driving. 15 is the longest year of your life."

"Tell me about it. Last year, I was the same as you."

We're quiet for a little bit, just taking in the scenery. Jonas breaks the silence after a couple minutes. "Concord is really pretty," he comments.

"Yeah, it is. But so is New Hampshire," I say. "My brother's going there for college."

"I bet Jess is just thrilled about that," Jonas says sarcastically.

"She is. But, Darcy is super perfect, trust me, so they have everything all worked out." I roll my eyes playfully.

"Where is he going?" Jonas asks.

"Dartmouth," I reply.

Jonas lets out a low whistle. "Whoa. Hard school to get into. Where do you think you'll go?"

"I dunno. Whatever school lets me in, I guess." Jonas laughs again. Then, he crosses over to my street.

"Um, you might want to let me out here," I warn.

"Okaaaaaay, why?"

"My brother's just protective over boys. Worse than my dad, in fact."

"That's interesting. But okay.

I smile the Cheshire Cat smile. "But, he's not every dad's favorite either. Mr. Delaney hated him the first few months."

"Hated him?!"

"Yup, hated him. It got better as it went along, and by Thanksgiving they were alright. But when we came back from England, whew, they came over for dinner a couple nights later, and, yeah."

Jonas laughs. "I can see him doing that. I can also see the twins teasing your brother and their sister."

"And the moms all gushing, like, 'oh, you guys are so cute together! Oh, isn't this so happy, Shannon? Indeed it is, Phoebe!' And I was part of the whole teasing thing. But more angled towards my brother."

Jonas is laughing really hard. "Okay, this is your stop. Hey, thanks for coming over. I don't really know anyone here except you and Jess, and she had to go to Colonial early to bake."

"Oh, this was really fun. Thanks for inviting me."

There's an awkward pause. Then, I decide to hug him. He hugs me back. We wave to each other as I walk in the door. I smile all through the house. Darcy looks at me suspiciously as I walk past his room. "Why are you smiling so much?"

"Can't a person just smile, Darcy? Remember Ivy Cottage after the tunnel when everyone came over?" Darcy blushes. A.N. In one of my one-shots, I was thinking that post-walk in England would be a good story, FYI, if you guys want to read what happened then!

As I go lie down on my bed, I think through what happened this afternoon. I break out into a gigantic smile.

I think Stewart is a thing of the past.

Okay, that is chapter 3! Wow. School starts in 4 days for me (*sobs*) so I won't be posting as regular, but I will be posting once or twice a week. I am going to start a one-shot series and, when this is done, a Willow Falls story! Yay! So I hope you like this chapter, and, if you read this author's note, kudos to you! I like when you guys read them because I want them to be helpful to you so you can know what's up with me on Fanfiction! I hope this chapter was FABULOUS, darlings! (I'm sorry, I couldn't resist. I love imitating Wolfgang. So hilarious and quirky!) Chapter 4 will be up soon. I think that's going to be prom, but tell me what you want! Ta-ta for now!
