A/N: Sorry for not updating sooner, ideas can be hard to think of sometimes. Anyway, here we go with a 4th of July chapter. What kind of trouble will Jack and Carly get into? ;)

"Come on, I don't want to do this!" Jack says as he and Carly walked into the store, immediately finding a shopping cart.

"Jack, how could you not like the 4th of July?" Carly asks.

"No, I like the 4th, I just don't want to have to bail you and Johnny out of jail again!" Jack says, referring to last year's 4th of July party where Carly had smashed a brick into Benson's head and knocked him out after Benson had already arrested Johnny for beating Trevor up and putting Trevor in the hospital.

"That was a one time incident and Trevor started it. Now, come on, let's go!" Carly says, the tiny 19 year old dragging Jack by his hand down the aisle with the fireworks. Jack knew that Carly had something in mind as she stopped by the M80's…

The two grabbed as many fireworks as they could, putting them in the shopping cart alongside several family sized bags of chips, chicken wings and fifteen bottles of soda as well as beer, vodka and whiskey, Michael having gotten the burgers, chicken wings and hotdogs. Carly also made sure to grab extra charcoal and lighter fluid as well as several kinds of BBQ sauce.

"So… is Johnny planning something special for you two this 4th of July?" Jack asks.

"Not that I know of… he does tend to keep things a surprise sometimes." Carly says, her and Johnny having been together for just a little under a year now, they're one year anniversary coming up in September.

Although Carly was curious, she decided not to ask anything beforehand.

The two finished shopping for the BBQ and headed over to Johnny and Carly's new home in Chumash, Carly and Johnny having moved in together in May.

"Hey there, sugar. Find everything we need?" Johnny says before he and Carly kiss.

"Yep. Damn, it's boiling out here." Carly says, pulling her light brown hair into a ponytail.

"Yeah, it is. Although it's more of a dry heat here, the humidity in Alderney made 85° feel like 110°. I'll be in the house in a bit, okay?" Johnny says before they kiss, Carly heading into the house. "Did you mention anything about it to her, Jack?" He asks.

"Did as you said, kept it to myself… it's you who's gonna have to deal with a pissed off Trevor after this." Jack says.

"Well, Trevor's always hated me, even before I knew Carly. Now come on, let's go set everything up." Johnny says before the two get the rest of the things from Jack's Kumura and walk into the house.

It was later during the party that Jack had asked a drunk Michael where Amanda is.

"Fuck, if Madam Godzilla would rather be with Fabien than here with her family, it's that bitch's fucking decision!" Michael slurred, downing his fifth beer. Amanda had been pissed that Carly had decided to leave home just as the two had started fixing their mother daughter bond, Amanda having called Carly every horrible name known to humans.

Carly simply brushed it off, saying to Amanda "If you can't accept that I'm starting my life with the man that I love, then that's on you but I'm not staying in a home where you constantly abuse me for every decision that I make, Amanda!" and the two had not spoken since.

Trevor, meanwhile, was busy scaring Carly and Johnny's elderly neighbors, Mr and Mrs Sanchez by shooting off M80's in their driveway… until his shirt had caught on fire when he tried to light another M80 and was holding it too close to him as Lamar threw lighter fluid at Trevor, who was screaming as he rolled around, managing to put the flames out.

"What the fuck, you psychotic fool?!" Franklin yells, snatching the lighter fluid from Lamar as Trevor stands up, part of his shirt and pants burned off.

"You told Jack to give Lamar a can of lighter fluid?" Carly asks.

"So I can do this…" Johnny says before getting down on one knee and grabbing a little box from his jeans pocket, opening it and revealing an Alexandrite engagement ring.

Everyone around Carly and Johnny were waiting for an answer from the tiny brunette… who, too overcome with emotion, smiled and nodded, Johnny smiling and putting the ring on Carly's left ring finger before standing up and picking Carly up in his arms, spinning her around as they kissed, everyone grabbing drinks and toasting to the newly engaged couple.

Everyone except Trevor, who proceeded to get into his Bodhi and drive off… it was when he was back in his caravan in Sandy Shores, however, that he screamed in pure rage, banging his head repeatedly against it until he slumped to the ground, bleeding and crying.

Trevor eventually stood up and walked into his caravan, patching himself up and grabbing a picture… the picture he kept with him after leaving Ludendorff… the one of himself and a much younger Carly.

Trevor was angry… because now, little Carly Jade Townley, who had changed to Carly Jade De Santa was soon going to be Carly Jade Klebitz…

That little girl was now truly never coming back.
