THE HORROR! I just realized I spelled Blackthorne without the "e" for my whole entire story so far. And I hate it when people spell things wrong. Accept my sincerest apologies. I'll spell it right for the rest of the story. Pinky promise. This is just embarrassing.
Well...I promised you a chapter today didn't I? Sorry it's so late though. I was really busy today. Just finished my last exam! Yay! Also hung out with my friends and got a hair cut! :D
So this is really just a filler chapter cause I'm sort of stuck trying to make my Zammie moment perfect. Because even if it doesn't appear so, I'm a huge Zammie fan. I just hate sappy cliche endings.
This just sort of came to me in the moment and I just had to add it. :) It's definitely supposed to be humorous. Just my way to lighten up the mood with all the dark, depressing drama stuff going on in the rest of the story.

ELAINE
It was a normal day in P&E for the juniors. Elaine kicking butt and Austin hitting his opponents harder and defeating them faster than necessary to impress her.
Yup, it was a normal day. That is, until a random woman burst through the doors of the P&E barn and yelled, "POP QUIZ!"
Elaine could have sworn the whole junior class stood there frozen for exactly 2 seconds before finally recovering and fighting her back.
Anyone who had just fought Elaine was probably already too exhausted to fight very long. Anyone who had fought Austin had probably already fainted. Elaine could feel herself wearing out also.
She could hear Austin cursing in a multitude of languages under his breath as he fought the woman with a look of intense concentration. Elaine paused to stare at her wonder boy (A/N: "wonder boy" is what Meg called Hercules in the movie. I love that movie).
She wondered how lucky she was to have him. Having inherited his father's "Greek god" looks and his mother's "Egyptian goddess" beauty, Austin Newman was an exotic god like no other.
He was strong, funny, sensitive at times, and a more than decent spy. It also helped that he was an amazing kisser. Elaine would know.
But looking past her boyfriend at the woman who rudely interrupted their class, Elaine noticed she looked familiar.
So Elaine and Austin might have stumbled passed the Secret Service into her mother's office for some privacy when making out.
So they might have happened to knock over a bookshelf when doing the aforementioned actions.
And they might have tripped the alarm. But more importantly, Elaine and Austin found a picture of her mother and friends during high school. Elaine was able to sneak a glance at the four figures before her mother caught them.
Macey Winters might have looked more amused than angry when she caught Elaine and Austin in her office with sparkly pink lip gloss all over Austin's face.
Thank god it hadn't been her father who caught them. It wasn't good to have the President as an over protecting father (there was a reason many of Elaine's previous boyfriends hadn't lasted).
Her mother had simply waved them out the door and told them to find a supply closet next time.
But thinking back, Elaine had only recognized three of the women-her mother, Aunt Liz and Aunt Bex. The fourth was no doubt Cammie Morgan. Elaine too had heard the stories about the infamous spy.
And standing before her was no doubt, Cammie Morgan.
Elaine noticed the alleged Cammie Morgan stop fighting, give them some advice, and leave, but with a lack of better words, when the doors slammed shut, Elaine exclaimed three simple words.
"Oh. My. God."
Then she dragged a bewildered looking Austin from a crowd of worn out and confused looking juniors into the headmistress' office.
"I THINK WE JUST SAW CAMMIE!" Elaine shouted before the Headmistress could respond.
"What?" Rachel Morgan and Austin shouted back at the same time. Austin was slow.
Rachel Morgan started to get up but Elaine stopped her.
"Can I your phone to call my mom Mrs. Morgan?"
Rachel just nodded and hurried out the door. Elaine dialed her mother's personal cell phone. It rang 3 times before Macey picked up.
"Hello? Macey here."
"Hey Mom, it's Elaine." Elaine tried keeping her voice calm.
"Elaine dear? Why are you calling?"
"Oh, well we were in P&E where Cammie Morgan just fought the whole junior class and won." she hoped her voice sounded nonchalant.
There was a pause. "Hey Elaine? Wait a couple seconds; let me add Aunt Bex and Aunt Liz to this phone call." Macey added her 2 best friends to the call.
"Hey Mace." Bex said. "What's up Macey?" Liz picked up too.
"Okay Elaine? Repeat what you said."
"Cammie Morgan burst into the junior P&E class and whooped our butts?" Elaine asked in a questioning tone.
Let the screaming begin. Elaine had to hold the phone 2 feet away from her ear. Even from there she could hear a jumble of shouting.
She heard them scream 'I knew it!', 'Finally!' 'Took her long enough!' and a very suspicious 'You owe me 5 bucks Bex!' followed by some very colorful language in Italian.
But what she didn't hear was them being surprised. Suspicious, very suspicious.
"Mom….why don't you guys sound surprised." Elaine heard laughter at the other end. She was sort of offended, were they mocking her? No way.
"Elaine," Bex started to explain slowly, "Cammie's always has been at Gallagher. For the last 15 years actually. She's your CoveOps teacher Miranda Kaufman."
"Oh…." it dawned on her. Wow, Elaine felt a bit stupid. She continued chattering with her mother and her mother's best friends before finally saying goodbye and getting off the phone.
"So…" Austin sounded a little dazed still and unsure of what to do. "You want to go make out?"
Elaine chuckled silently in her head. It was so like Austin to ignore the possibly biggest and most shocking piece of news yet. Teenage boy hormones were interesting.
"Not in here," she whispered in his ear, "you know what happened last time we were in an office."
He groaned and dragged her off.
They needed to find a supply closet.
I chuckled at the end. I hope you do too. :D
Next chapter up is going to have a lot of Zammie and also clear up a lot of questions and stuff going around Lina and Andrew. What's going to happen next? You'll just have to wait till next time! I know. I'm evil. ;)
Of course as always, reviewing helps motivate me to write faster. Review? I love you guys.
