Hello, my amazing, spectacular readers, who I know will not read this note. I mean, really people? You're just using me because I'm funny *Pouts and sits in corner*

Natalie felt like the world was having a joke at her expense. She finally got released by the Vespers, and realizes she has a crush on Dan, but then her brother goes off acting like a love-alien (a term she learned from Dan), to save Amy.

She hoped that her life wasn't one big joke because she didn't get it.

Jonah woke up and could tell something was wrong. He felt…not tired. Usually Elizabeth would wake him up at 7:00 and they would go downstairs and make pancakes for the others.

She hadn't woken him up, and he couldn't smell pancakes. He turned his head to look at his alarm clock, and noticed a piece of paper on the table. He recognized Elizabeth's handwriting and started reading.

Jonah,

Please hate me. It would be easier for you to hate and/or forget about me. It will suck for me to see on tabloids and other magazines who you end up dating, but I'll put up with it. I know you're probably thinking that you need to do something stupid like find me or something, but don't. As much as I love you, I won't hesitate to punch you if you do something stupid. So, forget me, hate me, take your pick. The important thing is that you stay away from me.

Long gone by now, Elizabeth

If asked, Jonah will firmly deny that he cried. He will however admit to getting watery eyes. Very manly watery eyes.

A Vesper came into the hostage's small cell. They all moved away, thinking they would be taken for torture or something. The man carried a gun and surveyed them before grabbing for Phoenix.

Nellie pushed Phoenix away to keep the man from grabbing him, and the man shot her in the shoulder.

It was hard to tell if Phoenix or Nellie was crying harder.

If Ian had looked behind him on the plane, he would have seen a girl with ginger hair and purple glasses, who was just as unaware of his presence as he was of hers.
