Disclaimer: I sadly, do not own She's the Man. That's why I come to . LOL
Hey! A lot more reviews, so I'm happy! I gotta write this chapter super fast, but it'll be good! I'll put a lot of Duke/Viola and DRAMA! I'm gonna be busy! Well I am sorry to say that tomorrow, I will be busy so I might not be able to update, I'll try my hardest though! You guys don't mind if it's short do you? Well I hope not.
Mrs. Dom Masbolle: No, the demonchild (Abigail... lol) has NOT found out yet... but she's gonna... in this chapter! I like your dress idea but sadly, I have other plans. Nice thought though! I really liked it! That would be funny... I checked out your page... I also hate slash. Especially Olivia/Viola... it's kinda nasty...
cbarkins: Nice to hear from you! Welcome back! LOLSorry if my message sounded harsh. Well, remember to read and review, so I know you're reading! Thanks! I try my hardest to update regularly. Well it goes like this: I come home and check my reviews and they are so nice and everything that I just HAVE to write another chapter. Writing this story and getting the positive reviews is SOOOOO ADDICTING! Like caffine... (hehe. in my case) I loved your line: I liked this chapter, Maria, eh, not so much.
nikkitan89: I know so much has happened to Viola! But soon it'll be going in reverse. The demonchild more commonly known to some as Abigail is going to get it good! You'll just have to wait!
ummmhilol: Sorry there wasn't fluff! There is going to be a lot in this chapter! I promise! It's good to know you liked it! I'm glad you like how I make Duke and Viola as a couple. (For anyone who has been watching Season7 of American Idol, it's like that Asian girl who was always was like "thank you" in an annoying voice!) So, thank you.
Ashley Garla: It's nice to have you back! I was missing you and all the other reviewers I missed. Well, it's glad to know you were reading (I think) but didn't have the time to review. JSYK (Just so you know- my own little acronym) all you need to say is 'nice' or something and I will be happy because I know you've read it! And I want drama too! Unfortunately it'll be Abigail/Viola drama. But Viola will get into some mother/mother drama...
Girlz-Rule: I'm glad you can't wait! But no need to wait more! I have another chapter for you!
itsasouthernthing: Thanks for the review! It's no problem. If I like a fanfic, I like a fanfic!
HarryPotterANDShesTheManFan18: Nice to hear from you again! I'm not gonna reveal anything about the ending... I know, that seems mean, but why should I? I'll keep it a surprise!
pinkflamingos988: So you were reading but not reviewing! Shame on you... LOL. JK. It's alright. I know sometimes we run out of time and stuff. Understandable... I just missed the reviews! LOL.
Sophia-Chad: I'll try to find a dress that will look like Viola's! I think that would be cool.
Soon it was the day before New Year's Eve and Viola, Duke, Justin, Kia, Yvonne, Paul, Toby, Andrew, Olivia and Sebastian (Evie was staying at Grandma Hastings) were all going out to dinner to celebrate. It was a shame they couldn't do anything with Abigail tagging along. It wasn't like a fanclub tag-along. It was more of a "I'm going to come along whether you like it or not' tag-along. So when she found out, she asked if she could join and they just had to say yes. They weren't mean OR rude. Plus with Olivia there, the kind, always caring, sensitive Olivia, they kinda had to say yes.
So on the night of New Year's Eve they decided to go to a restaurant. A Japanese place. It was a nice, fancy place and the food was authentic Japanese. It was really good and all of them had been there before. They were all ready and they decided to eat around 8 and then go over to Kia and Yvonne's afterwards. They entered, all looking smart and sat down at their reserved table. Lots of places were closed because of New Year's but still, a lot were open. They had chosen a busy time but luckily they made early reservations. Once again, Olivia's doing.
Viola, who wasn't too good at using chopsticks wasn't the only one who had trouble. Andrew, Toby and Sebastian also weren't too good in that department. Sebastian, Toby and Andrew asked for forks but Viola decided to try and learn. She wasn't too successful. Even with Duke, a pretty good guy with the two wooden sticks had trouble teaching her.
"Careful Duke. She elbows pretty hard." Andrew warned with a mouthful of sushi.
"Andrew, Andrew, Andrew. When will you realize that I enjoy hurting you and feel bad to see Duke suffer?" Viola asked in a sweet voice.
Andrew started mumbling darkly under his breath. They all laughed except for Abigail. Abigail only came to be near Duke and keep Viola's filthy hands off of him. It was going well so far, Viola was too busy trying to figure out how to use her chopsticks. However that didn't stop Duke from constantly helping her. Abigail became even more angry when Toby said, "Whoever it is, I do NOT want to play footsie!" That caused Duke to turn a reddish color.
"The big tough guy's blushing," Sebastian teased.
"Be nice Sebastian. Or I'll tell everyone just how romantic and gooey you truly are!" Duke joked back.
Sebastian tried to kick Duke from under the table, but Sebastian being the non-athletic, non-soccer playing twin, he accidentally kicked Abigail instead.
"Man, we all know how bad you are a kicking. Why don't you just like blast his eardrum with your guitar," Justin said before taking a bite of food. He and just about everybody else except for Duke felt Sebastian's attempts to kick Duke. About half-way through, Viola excused herself to go to the bathroom. Abigail decided to go as well, do a bit of research.
Viola had just come out of the toilet to see Abigail there, reapplying lipgloss. Viola ignored her and started fixing her hair in front of a mirror. Abigail who was on Viola's left saw her left hand resting on the side of the sink. There Abigail saw the big, shiny ring. Viola treated the ring very well and it still looked new. It was new, but anywho.
"What the hell is that?" Abigail asked a bit more forcefully then intended. She didn't want Viola to get suspicious.
"Don't worry, you're invited to the wedding if that's what you mean," Viola said.
"Wedding? What the," Abigail was confused.
"Yes the wedding. Where Duke and I will uh get married," Viola tried not to make it sound like the most obvious thing in the world.
"Duke and you?" Abigail was getting angry. "What the hell is that supposed to mean?"
"I thought it was obvious. Duke and I are getting married," Viola said it slowly.
"Who do you think you are?"
"I know I'm Viola. Why would I think I'm someone else?"
"I mean who do you think you are that gives you the right to marry my Duke?"
"Abigail. This may seem hard to understand but Duke was never your's. And besides. He asked me. I didn't ask him. I said yes. I didn't make the move, he did. So you have no right to go blaming me." Viola turned to leave. She felt Abigail grab her wrist. It didn't hurt but Viola turned around anyways. Abigail raised her hand and just before Abigail slapped her, Viola grabbed her hand, stopping her.
"I've let you push me around for too long Abigail. It's over. Okay? Duke and I are getting married and there is NOTHING you can do about it."
"Let go of me!" Abigail struggled to get out of Viola's grip. "Nothing I can do? We'll just have to see about that!"
"I'm not as weak as was back in college. I let you get to me, let you push me around but now I'm not going to. I know that I am stronger and will not take your shit." Viola turned and left. She sat back down next to Duke and Abigail soon came out looking angry. Abigail who had wanted to sit next do Duke, didn't get to. Viola was on his right side and Sebastian on his left. Abigail sulked the whole night and said she better go and so she didn't go to Kia and Yvonne's. Everyone was happy with that decision.
Midnight drew closer and closer and they all decided go out onto the balcony and admire the lit up city view. And when the countdown began, everyone got excited. Duke pulled Viola aside to one side of the balcony. And when it turned to 12:00 am on January 1st, 1014 (A/N: I know. 1014, already!) everyone was cheering and all so happy. Duke and Viola leaned in close to kiss. They would've continued if something cold hadn't sprayed all over them. Champagne.
There stood everybody laughing. Paul and Justin kept trying to give the other the empty bottle. Kia, Yvonne and Olivia smiled. "Hand it over boys." They held out their hands in a row and the guys walked past each placing 50 bucks in their hands.
"Man, if you weren't so unromantic, I would have 150 dollars to buy me something nice!" Justin whined as he handed Kia the fifty dollar bill.
"Don't blame me!" Justin tried to cover up. "It was partially Toby's fault!"
"Man, why you always bring me into it?"
"Because you're my best friend!"
"But you were the one that was completely convinced they wouldn't kiss at midnight!"
"Break it up. Face the fact that you lost," Kia said, tucking her money away. They all went in and talked about the busy year ahead. FIFA World Cup, CDs, tours, hair and make up for new movies, everything was going to exciting. And filled with drama.
A week later, Viola was walking Rusty for Duke. It was Duke's turn to suffer. Rusty had quickly grown to love Viola and his new collar. Viola saw a speeding figure run up to her and as it approached her, it stopped with a sudden halt. Duke.
"Vi- you- come- now!" Duke was having trouble getting the words out. Partly from exhaustion and shock.
Viola started kissing him and soon, he was breathing normally. Viola broke apart. "Now you can tell me like a normal person what's wrong."
"Or we could just continue," Duke said leaning in to give Viola another kiss.
Viola laughed and put a hand up to cover Duke's lips. She pushed him away. "Tell me. It must be important."
"Yeah! You gotta come like now! They are going crazy!" Viola thought she was going to go crazy because of the mothers.
Duke quickly undid the leash on Rusty. As Viola and Duke started running, Rusty followed. He was such a smart dog. They reached the coffee shop where Duke was meeting the mothers. Duke put Rusty on a leash again. Duke decided to wait outside and let Viola see for herself. He had enough. Viola walked in to see the two ladies, standing up, screaming at each other like there was no tomorrow.
"IF IT WEREN'T FOR MY SON!"
"DON'T TELL ME ABOUT HOW GREAT YOUR SON IS! I THINK I KNOW!"
"WELL THEN YOU WILL KNOW WHY I HAVE TO PLAN THE WEDDING!"
"MOM! Mrs Orsino! Can we just calm down here? Why can't you guys work together?"
"YES! VIOLA'S RIGHT! WE SHOULD CALM DOWN! AND I WILL WHEN SHE LET'S ME PLAN THE WEDDING!"
"DAPHNE HASTINGS, THERE IS NO WAY I WILL LET YOU RUIN MY SON'S WEDDING! I'M UPSET ALREADY WITH HIS CHOICE, WHY DO YOU HAVE TO GO AND RUIN MY LIFE EVEN MORE! I WOULD MUCH PREFER A DIFFERENT DAUGHTER-IN-LAW. I'M BARELY APPROVING AS IT IS! YOU SHOULD JUST LET ME PLAN THE WEDDING!"
Viola was shocked. She didn't know Elizabeth Orsino disapproved her that much. It hurt to hear that.
"YOUR SON SHOULD BE LUCKY TO HAVE A GIRL LIKE VIOLA! AND SO SHOULD YOU!"
"YES, I'M OH SO GRATEFUL," Elizabeth said sarcastically.
"YOU SHOULD BE GLAD I'M WILLING TO HELP!"
"SO AM I!"
"STOP IT!" It wasn't Daphne who said something, it was Viola. "Stop! All of you! You guys are acting so selfish, so childish, so STUPID! JUST WORK TOGETHER OR DON'T BOTHER TO HELP AT ALL! WE DON'T NEED YOU TO PLAN EVERYTHING! WE JUST WANT TO HAVE A NICE WEDDING WITHOUT YOU TWO CONSTANTLY ARGUING WHO WILL CHOOSE THIS OR WHO WILL DO THAT!" Elizabeth was about to protest but Viola wasn't finished. "WE DON'T NEED YOU! THANKS FOR ALL THE THOUGHT, BUT I THINK, HECK EVERYONE THINKS IT WOULD BE BETTER IF YOU TWO JUST STEP DOWN FROM THE DUITES!" Viola had had it with the two. They never got along. It was getting annoying. Viola stomped out. She grabbed Dukes hand and he and Rusty followed.
"What are we going to do? Your mom hates me, my mom hates me and I've just told them that I don't want them to plan the wedding."
"Well do you?"
"It would be nice if they did, but they keep fighting!"
"What are we going to do?"
"Elope?" Viola said with a weak smile. Duke could tell she was feeling better because she was cracking jokes again.
"If we did go with that, we'd have to move and change our names because our parents would be after us." Duke put an arm around Viola as they continued walking Rusty.
"Or we could stay and let them gradually go crazy."
"I think that job is already done," Duke said looking down at her and Viola smiled.
Sorry it's short! But there is now some drama! I hope it's good enough! Well gotta go!
