An update! Felt like updating this while I took a break from updating Collide. Oh yeah, forgot to say that Massie's sixteen turning seventeen and Derrick's seventeen. They're all incoming seniors. Are Derrick's parents' names mentioned in the series?

.:Is This Even Legal?:.

Massie Block woke up to see eight faces peering down at her.

"What happened?" she asked.

"Well, you kinda fainted after…" Kristen Gregory trailed off. Now Massie remembered. She sat up and saw Derrick Harrington sitting down on a chair with his head on his hands. Derrick Harrington, her…she couldn't even think the word.

Everyone looked from her to Derrick and back to her again.

"You know, I expected something like this to happen to Kemp, not you guys," Plovert said.

"Hey!" Kemp yelled and hit his arm. "But, yeah. This is messed up."

"Alicia, is this even legal?" Massie asked. Alicia Rivera was the daughter of Len Rivera, a successful lawyer.

"Well…yes," Alicia answered. Massie screamed. Everyone covered their ears, except for Derrick, who didn't move a muscle.

"It's not that bad," Dylan Marvil said, trying to soothe Massie. Derrick snapped his head up and looked at Dylan to see if she was actually serious.

"Not that bad?! I'm sixteen for crying out loud! Sixteen and I'm already…already…" Massie trailed off.

"Married?" Claire Lyons supplied.

"Don't say that word!" She and Derrick snapped. At the same time. They glared at each other. She started to pull the ring off her finger.

"Mass, don't!" Kristen yelled. Massie turned to Kristen. "Why not?"

"Once a wedding ring is placed on the finger, it is considered bad luck to remove it!" Kristen explained. She was so superstitious sometimes.

"I don't believe in superstition, Kris," Massie said.

"Well, I do! Please, just keep it on."

"Fine."

"What are you going to tell the parents?" Josh asked.

"Ohmygawd!" Massie said before grabbing a pillow and burying her face in. She screamed again before lifting her head back up. "You do realize that you're all going to be in trouble."

"Why?" Cam asked.

"Well, you're not in LA, are you?"

"Shit."

"Yeah. We're all going to die. Me and Derrick last, after we endure torture."

"You're being a little overdramatic, Massie," Kemp said.

"Shut up, Kemp! This is your fault!" Massie yelled.

"How is this my fault?" Kemp asked with wide eyes.

"You were the one who suggested we go to Las Vegas!"

"You guys were the one who agreed!"

"Ohmygawd, my life is ruined! This'll go on my permanent record and I'll never get into Yale! My reputation will go down the drain and people would talk about me so much that I'll have to run away and change my name to Mary-Sue and since I never went to college I'll be forced to live in a shack doing who knows what just to eat and my only companion would be three cats named Bob, Jack and Moon and…" Massie rambled on.

"Is this normal?" Josh asked Alicia.

"Yeah. This is what happens when Massie flips out."

"…Jack would have only one eye and Moon will have only three legs and everyday I'll wake up and eat then work and I'll suck at my job and I'll get fired and I'll be forced to eat one of the three cats just so that I can survive then the ghost of my cat will haunt me for the rest of my sucky life and Zac Efron would never meet me and fall in love with me and he'll never dump Vanessa to be with me forever and we'll never have two kids named Zac Jr. and Morgana and we'll never live in a white house with a picket fence and—"

"SHUT UP!" Derrick yelled. Everyone turned to face him.

"Don't tell me to shut up, you can't tell me what to do!" Massie cried.

"I can if you're incessant noise is bothering me!"

"Go outside if you're bothered so much!"

"Why do I have to go outside? You go outside!"

"FYI, this is the girls' room! The boys room is across the hallway!"

"Look, they're already fighting like a married couple," Plovert said.

Derrick and Massie turned to glare at him. "What did you say?" Derrick hissed.

"Nothing!"

"I think it's time to go back to Westchester," Cam said.

"Yes, and the first thing we're gonna do is go to the Rivera's house so that we can talk to Len about ending this thing."

"Mom, you can't be serious," Massie said indignantly.

"I am a hundred percent serious," Kendra Block told her daughter. They were in the living room two hours after Massie told them the great news. They just finished talking to the Harringtons.

"Dad?" Massie turned to her father.

"I'm sorry, Massie, but what you did was completely irresponsible," William Block said.

"But…but…but…"

"No buts," Kendra said. "We already talked it out with the Harringtons. They're perfectly fine with it."

"What kind of a punishment is this?" Massie cried out.

"A punishment that you two deserve. Now go up and pack. Derrick's going to arrive soon."

Massie trudged upstairs and collapsed on her bed. Her parents and Derrick's parents thought that the best way to punish their children was to not get a divorce and live together in her guesthouse for a year. Massie can't even act like she was living on her property.

Massie looked around her room and started packing.

"You can't do this! Please, ground me for life! Lock me up in jail! Send me to military school in Canada! Anything! Just not this," Derrick pleaded with his father.

"I'm sorry, Derrick, but you brought this on yourself," Robert Harrington said.

"Mommy?" Derrick asked Pauline Harrington with a puppy-dog face.

"Sorry, honey, but that doesn't work now. It used to, when you were twelve," she said.

Derrick sighed in defeat.

"Now, go up to your room and pack. We're leaving in a few minutes," Robert said and Derrick had no choice but to obey.

The sound of the door opening momentarily distracted him from his packing and he turned to face the girl who was now leaning on the wall with a smirk on her face.

"What do you want?" he snapped.

"You don't have to be so touchy. I'm just here to congratulate you!" Sammi Harrington said.

"Shut up," He snapped.

"I thought newlyweds should be happy, not snappy."

Derrick glared at his older sister. "Aren't you supposed to be in Princeton?"

"I'm going back to New Jersey tomorrow," She shrugged.

"Go do something that won't bother me!"

"Aww, but I wanted to meet my new sister! I always wanted to have a little sister, but then Mom gave birth to you."

Derrick narrowed his eyes.

Sammi rolled hers. "Fine, fine, I'm leaving."

"So this is where we're living for the next year." Derrick said as his eyes scanned the living room of the guesthouse. The Lyons moved out two years ago and bought a house a block away.

"Yes and I get Claire's old room." Massie said and left him on the couch while she took all of her stuff upstairs. She dumped her bag onto the bed and took out her phone.

Massie: how bad have you guys got it?
Claire: grounded for a month but with communication
Alicia: confiscated credit card
Dylan: same as leesh.
Kristen: grounded but with no communication. Im using my old phone. My mom doesn't know I have it.
Massie: I have to live in the guesthouse
Claire: they kicked you out?!
Massie: no. they're making me live with Derrick.
Dylan: as in, like, together?
Massie: yes. I hate it.
Alicia: what about the separation?
Massie: nope. Not gonna happen. At least, not for another year.
Kristen: wow.
Massie: I need someone to come over. Anybody.
Kristen: sorry, Mass. I can't go.
Massie: I know. I understand. You too Claire.
Claire: thanks.
Massie: leesh? Dyl?
Alicia: we'll be right there.

Alicia and Dylan arrived ten minutes later to the surprise of Derrick and delight of Massie.

"Aren't you supposed to be grounded or something?" he asked the two girls.

"For us, having our credit cards confiscated is equal to being grounded. We would never go out without them!" Alicia explained. She was about to go in when Massie stopped her.

"We're going to the spa. I need it," Massie said. Dylan shrugged and they all made their way towards the old horse shed turned spa.

"First day of school tomorrow," Dylan said as they lowered themselves into the Jacuzzi.

"Ugh. Don't remind me," Massie said.

"So…will you say anything to the school?"

"Hell no!"

"You wanna know what's weird?" Alicia suddenly asked.

"What?"

"You're not Massie Block anymore."

"What the hell are you talking about?"

"You're not Massie Block anymore. You're like, a Harrington now. Massie Harrington."

Writing about a flipped out Massie is fun. "Zac Efron would never meet me and fall in love with me and he'll never dump Vanessa to be with me forever…"

I love Zac Efron. Did you know that he has a 4.0 GPA?

Tell me if you loved it.

Tell me if you hate it.

Tell me if it rocks your socks.

Tell me if Hollywood should make a movie with Zac Efron and Chace Crawford and Kellan Lutz and Taylor Lautner and every other hottie in Hollywood and call it 'TMTEGITWWW' or 'The Movie That Every Girl In The World Would Watch."
