CHAPTER THREE:

That Meg girl handed me this thing-y ma-doodle and said, "Here, while Daisy and I make breakfast, you write about anything you want. It will be good therapy and is the best lead we have about helping out get better."

Then she glanced at Daisy and said, "It will be interesting at least."

So I will write about Daisy and Meg making breakfast.

"Why was everyone screaming downstairs yesterday?" Daisy asked Meg putting some… red floppy strips of things… in a… flat-ish pan thing and turn on the stove. (HA! I remembered one!)

"Oh there's this girl named Lisa who was in Texas or whatever, studying science and she had just come back. And no one knew that she was coming home. So everyone was freaking out!" Meg explained, mixing something white-ish.

"What are you guys making?" I asked.

"Pancakes, bacon, toast, fruit, and muffins," Daisy said. Uh-hu. No clue what any of that is.

"So? What happened?" Daisy probed.

"Lisa walked in and I swear you could hear a pin drop. Then Jessica- you know, the younger girl?- was all like 'Lisa? LISA!' and ran to hug her. Then Jess went to go get Keith and Marcus from the park and Hector started making out with Lisa," Meg said.

"Yep," said Brandi, "Totally snogging."

"Yeah, then the others came and Hector and Lisa stopped before they saw and Lisa hugged everybody and there was introductions-" Meg was saying then Brandi interrupted her.

"By the way," she said, "Lisa wants to meet us all. Meg and I told her the tale of our merry mis-adventures."

"Not you too," Daisy said, "That phrase!"

"Hey, Summer?" Meg said, "You mind putting some bread in the toaster?"

"Okay sure," I said. Just a sec. Be right back.

OKAY BACK. JUST LEARNED WHAT A TOASTER IS! Here is what happened!

Meg: Hey Summer? You mind putting some bread in the toaster?

Me: okay sure. *picks up bread. Looks around for the toaster*

Meg: Where's Taylor?

Brandi: Still asleep.

Me: *found what I think is toaster! Tries to open it and put the bread in!*

Daisy: Um. Summer? What are you doing? That's the coffee maker.

Me: oh.

Daisy: Brandi? Could you rinse this fruit please?

Brandi: sure, I'll wince it.

Meg: *bursts out laughing* oh gosh oh gosh… BRANDI! WINCE?

*everyone else (including me) laughs*

*I THINK I FOUND THE TOASTER! Tries to put bread in it*

Brandi: Summer! That's the fridge! Not the toaster! The toaster is over there.

Me: Haha, right. *OKAY. I HAVE DEFINATLY FOUND THE TOASTER.*

Meg: Summer, *sighs* that's the microwave; here just give me the bread.

Then she put the bread in a white bow thing (WOULD HAVE NEVER GUESSED THAT) in these two small bread-shaped holes and pushed this lever-y-thing down.

"Morning," Taylor mumbled, walking in.

"Hey. Morning," Meg said, "Brandi winced the fruit."

"What?" Taylor said.

"And Summer made toast," Brandi agreed, but it might be cold."

PRANKSTER MEETING MINUTE #0822, Written and recorded by Gilda Flip, Prankster-in-Training

Francine Carruthers, President: I hear by bring this meeting of the Pranksters to order. The first order of business is that LISA HEFFENABCHER HAS RETURNED!

Manny Spamboni: WHAT?

Danny Rebus: Blasphemy!

Annie Scrambler: Say it isn't so!

Gilda Flip: It isn't so!

Annie: What?

Francine: Shut up Gilda! It is actually so.

Gilda: Sorry, you said to that is wasn't so. So I… did.

Francine: Well, anyway, I have devised a brilliant plan to get rid of Lisa again!

Manny: We hire Darth Vader to strangle her?

Danny: We drowned her in a vat of grape jelly?

Annie: We slowly drive her insane by leaving strange sticky note messages everywhere?

Francine: NO! NO! NO! We feed Matty Farms poison and frame Lisa!

Gilda: Or we could just do this… *Whispers plan*

Manny: That might work…

Danny: Brilliant!

Annie: Good job kid, good plan!

WHAT IS CURRENTLY HAPPENING IN THE DINNER, ACCORDING TO MEG, WHO IS ON HER LUNCH BREAK:

1. Let's see, here's what's going on.

2. Brandi and Tessa trying to execute our Get-Hector/Lisa-together-and-Keith/Jess-together-and-possibly-Danny/Annie-if-they-come-into-the-diner plan that we came up with before the breakfast rush

3. Taylor, Daisy, and I are eating lunch

4. The guys have already eaten lunch and they are playing soccer or basketball or something in the park

5. Carl is making lunch for him and Summer upstairs, we all lectured him not to say anything that would freak her out (like mentioning their baby, or bringing up any details for their relationship. We told him if SHE brought it up that was fine.)

6. Shock is making a smoothie.

7. I am typing this and humming "500 miles"

8. So far, our Get-Hector/Lisa-together-and-Keith/Jess-together-and-possibly-Danny/Annie-if-they-come-into-the-diner plan has not worked.

9. Marcus is patrolling the sidewalk outside the diner because he is convinced that the Pranksters will try something now that Lisa's back

10. Taylor and Daisy are discussing what our new plan should be to defeated the Violet Dagger

11. Brandi is now asking me if I think that we are actually in a parallel universe, not our own, since we keep meeting people who are supposed to be fictional

12. I tell her, "Yeah, that's as good a theory as any."

13. Brandi: "Okay, so first we find a time machine and go to Downton Abbey, then we go to Narnia."

14. Me: "Sounds good to me."

15. Tessa: "OOH! Can I come to Narnia too!"

16. Brandi: "Sure!"

17. Hector: "You guys are crazy, Narnia isn't real!"

18. Me: "Neither are you."

19. This random girl just walked in and, hearing what I said, said "Are any of us really real? I believe that is the question we all strive to answer."

20. Keith: "Actually, what I strive to answer is how much wood can a woodchuck chuck, if a woodchuck could chuck wood."

21. Hector: "I don't think any of you are real."

22. Random Philosophy Girl (mentioned above): "That's good! Coming to terms with the feelings of not existing is one of the first steps to finding your true self!"

23. Everyone: "Ummmm… what?"

24. Random Philosophy Girl: "See, the true key to self-enlightenment is discovering who you really are, coming to terms with your inner self. Sometimes your inner self happen to be fictional because we may or may not really exist."

25. Me: "There's the real world and there's the world of nightmares. That's the way it is. The real world is a lie and your nightmares are real. The Library is real. The shadows are moving again! CHARLOTTE YOU HAVE TO SAVE THEM!"

26. Taylor: "Meg, stop being crazy."

27. Random Philosophy Girl: "How'd you know my name?!"

28. Me: "THE LIBRARY IS REAL CHARLOTTE!"

29. Random Philosophy Girl: "AAAHHHH!" and she runs out.

30. Hector: "How'd you know her name."

31. Me: "I didn't. I was just referencing Doctor Who… Speaking of which, can we try to track down the Doctor once we get back from Narnia?"

32. Daisy: "Sure"

33. Hector: "You guys are so weird."

34. Taylor: "Yep."

LETTERS TO AND FROM A GALAXY FAR, FAR AWAY:

Dear Brandi, Daisy, Meg and Taylor,

Greetings from the Skywalkers and the Solos! (This is Amelia Skywalker, by the way.) I am pleased to report that Luke has just started a New Jedi Order along with his father. And after many break-ups and getting-back-together, Han and Leia have finally gotten married! It was a small affair with only the family and close friends present. Leia wants me to tell you that they tried to invite you girls but we had no way to contact you. It was only TWO MONTHS LATER that we figured out we could send letters on the datapads!
Of course, Threepio insists that "That is what I have been trying to tell you all this time, Master Luke!"
And then Han turned him off.

Fondly, Amelia Skywalker
P.S. Luke says that you all are always welcome at the Academy

Dear Amelia,

It's very good to hear from you! Tell Leia thanks for the consideration, but we had no way to get back to your planet for the wedding. We were in Oz- Elphaba and Fiyero's home land- for a while, but the Violet Dagger reared its ugly head and- after a battle- we were forced to flee back Earth, our home planet. Unfortunately, we were unable to retreat unscathed- Summer suffered terrible memory loss and her child was abducted. Meg has found us a place to stay in one of the major cities here. We are attempting to help Summer recover and find her missing child.
We will keep in touch.

Sincerely, Daisy (And Brandi, Taylor, Meg, Summer, and the boys)

HELLO PEOPLE! I have not updated in FOREVER, and I am sorry! But here is a *NEW* chapter just for you! And you. And YOU! And i don't own the Electric Company, Star Wars, Wicked, or RENT. If I did, that would be a parallel universe where fictional characters wrote stories about US! (How awesome would that be?) ANYWAY. Reviews are like candy! But better for your teeth!

Hope every one had a good Christmas! and a Happy New Year! ~Jedi Annie Scrambler
