I'm back! Did I make you wait too long? If I did, I'm sorry. But I was on a major procrastinating spree. I didn't want to write out this chapter. But last night I sat myself down and forced myself too. I'm so proud! ;D Thank you IchigoMxHarryP for your idea on how to get Bea and Duncan together! It inspired this chapter, so thank you! :D
Hey guys, look! I got a cover for this story! Isn't it cool? I was so excited when I found out about Image Manager, but finding covers for stories is hard. :p Anyways, I hope you like it! :D

The Isadora Diaries:
Surpreeze:
Saturday, February 25th
Earlier today, I said to myself, "Isadora, when you die, how do you want people to remember you?" Well I want them to remember me as fun and unpredictable! Then I was realized I wasn't really either of those things. But how hard could it be to change just a little bit?
Today was Klaus's dad's birthday. To celebrate, Mrs. Clarke threw another big, fancy dinner party.
Yippee.
What is with our parents and dinner parties? I hope they don't expect all of us to be as fancy as them when we grow up, because if they do, then they're going to be really disappointed.
Anyways…
I decided to eat a whole bunch of sugar and burn it all off at the dinner party with hyperactive and unpredictableness. There you have it! A fun and unpredictable Isadora!
At the party, my idea thing was going great, I should do it more often. But that wasn't all I did. Today was the day Klaus and I had planned to get Bea and Duncan together.
After running around the inside for a long time playing like little kids (Hide and Seek, Tag, a little bit of Truth or Dare until Josh dared himself to attack everyone with Sunny), we decided to go into the backyard because the adults began something new - karaoke. Something you should know, never be in the same room as your mom when she's singing Whitney Houston's "I Will Always Love You" into a microphone on full volume. Never.
After being socially scarred by my mother, I began to make my way to the backyard. Klaus came up behind me and whispered, "Go ahead and bring Bea to the basement."
I nodded and skipped happily towards Bea who was talking to Emma and Taylor. "Hello, Future Mrs. Duncan Quagmire!"
She glared at me. "Don't make me hurt you, Iz."
Emma put her hand behind her ear and looked at the sky. "Is that wedding bells I hear?"
Bea looked confused. "I don't hear any bells."
Taylor laughed. "She's talking about the bells that'll be ringing at your's and Duncan's wedding, silly!"
Bea's eyes grew wide. "You can see into the future?"
I sighed. "Yes, Bea. She can see the future."
"Cool!"
"No!" Emma laughed. "She was being sarcastic!"
"That doesn't mean its not going to happen, though!" I winked at Bea.
Bea sighed. "It'd be nice if it was, but it's not. So chill!"
I put a hand on Bea's shoulder. "You know that can't happen."
That's when Josh ran over to us. "Hey guys! Klaus told me to keep you two busy while Isadora brings Bea inside for her surprise. So here I am!"
"Surprise?" Bea asked.
I slapped my forehead and said through gritted teeth, "You weren't supposed to say that in front of her, Josh."
"Oh. Whoops."
"Isadora!" Bea whined, swinging my arm back and forth, "What's the surprise?"
"Close your eyes," I said with a smile.
She closed her eyes. "Is my surprise here yet?"
"Not quite." I took her hand and dragged her back into the house. I led her downstairs into the basement where Duncan and Klaus were.
"And…open!" Bea opened her eyes excitedly. Then her smile fell when she realized where we were. "In the basement? With them? Surprises are supposed to be happy, Iz."
"Well," Duncan crossed his arms "Nice to know I'm unloved."
Before Bea could respond, Klaus clapped his hands together and said, "Great! Now that we're all down here, I can show you what's inside the closet!"
"What closet?" Bea asked.
Klaus sighed and pointed to a door in the corner of the room. "That closet, sweetie."
She ran over to the door, "OO! I want to see what's inside!"
"No!" Duncan cried. "I wanna go in first!"
As they fought over who would go in first, Klaus took a gold key from his pocket and unlocked the door and opened it. The two immaturelings quit fighting and ran over each other trying to get inside. As soon as they were in, Klaus closed the door in locked it. Looking satisfied, he put the key back in his pocket. "Piece of cake."
The doorknob turned and stopped. Then it shook.
"Did you just lock us in here?" Duncan asked.
"Isadora!" Bea yelled. "I'm afraid of the daaaark!"
"I need air!" Duncan yelled, banging on the door.
"Not until you two confess your true love for each other!" I shouted.
It was silent and Klaus was gaping at me.
"She's going to kill me for that," I laughed and bolted up the stairs. Klaus caught up with me when I reached the floor where all the adults were. "It worked!"
"They're Bea and Duncan," I said matter-of-factly, "They're not that hard to trick."
He laughed. "True."
"So you want to go back outside?"
Klaus shook his head. "No, I'm not really in a party mood. Want to such some TV upstairs?"
I shrugged. "Okay."
We went to the TV room upstairs. Surprisingly, you could just barely hear the off-key singing done by our parents at the party downstairs. We plopped down on the couch and Klaus turned it on with the remote. He began flipping through channels while was scooting closer to him as nonchalantly as I could. Not taking my eyes off the screen, I snatched the remote from his hand and returned to the other side of the couch. Klaus looked at his hand that wasn't holding anything anymore. "I'm incomplete."
I fell on my back to where I was lying on the couch and laughed. I kicked my shoes off on the floor and continuously kicked Klaus's arm with my bare feet as I scrolled through the channels.
"Isadora!" He grabbed pillow and held my feet down with it, "You're going to kick my arm off!"
"Klaus! There's nothing good on! Fix it!"
He laughed. "You're starting to sound like my sister."
I shot straight up. "Oh gods, get me out of this house!"
Klaus laughed again and tried to steal the remote from me. I dodged his hand and hit it with the remote. I randomly looked at the screen and saw that Ghost Adventures was on. I squealed and selected it. Then I jumped off the couch, turned the lights off (because that show is so much more scarier in the dark), and jumped back on the couch, right next to Klaus.
"Don't get too excited now, Isadoraus."
I raised an eyebrow. "Isadoraus?"
He pouted. "I wanted to say something clever."
"Well congratulations!" I exclaimed, flailing my arms, "You've won the-DEAR GODS!"
A scream blared through the speakers, causing me to spaz out all over Klaus. During my spazzem, he grabbed my wrists and pulled me closer to him and looked me in the eye. "Isadora. Calm. Down."
Aww, he's even cute in the dark, I thought to myself.
I screamed.
He let go of one of my wrists and rubbed his ear. "Thank you, Isadora. Thank you for that."
I smiled. "You're welcome!" And before I could stop myself, I kissed him.
Don't get excited, I kissed him on the cheek.
Klaus looked stunned. I simply laughed, pulled my other wrist from his grasp, and turned towards the TV. "OO! Did you hear what that ghost said?"
"Isadora, you just-"
"-This show is so creepy…I love it!"
"Isadora, why did you-"
"-Oh gods, that ghost gave two intelligent answers!"
"Isadora, you-"
"OH MY GOSH, I HATE COMMERCIAL BREAK!"
"ISADORA!"
"Yes, Klaus," I said sweetly.
The light from the TV allowed me to make out a little bit of his blushing face.
"What did you kiss me for?"
I sighed. "Was it random?"
"Yeah.."
"Did I take you by surpreeze?"
"You mean surprise."
"Same thing, just answer."
"Well, yeah."
"That's what for! It totally goes for this new, crazy, unpredictable, personality thing I'm going for."
I didn't tell him that it was mostly because I really wanted to and I couldn't help myself.
"So you're trying to change?"
The way he said it, he made it sound like it was wrong. So I said, "Not change. Just be a little bit more outgoing than normal."
He smirked. "And by a 'little bit', you mean unpredictably."
"Now you've got it!"
Klaus reached for my hand. "Don't change, Isadora. You're great just the way you are."
My heart stopped beating around there, so I don't know how I was able to respond. "Aww, you're so sweet." He smiled shyly. I continued. "You think that's really going to change my mind." His expression turned into a puzzled look. I laughed at him. "I'm kidding."
His smile came back. "You're welcome…So do I get another kiss?" he joked.
"ISADORA!" my mom called from downstairs.
"If my mom doesn't kill me for whatever wrong thing I supposedly did this time, maybe."
"ISADORA QUAGMIRE!"
I cringed. "I'm dead." I bolted for the stairs with Klaus right behind me. I found my mother standing by the front door with my dad and Quigley. "Yes, Mother?"
"Do you know where Duncan is? We have to go."
"No-wait-yeah. But why did you call me instead of him?"
As if she ignored half of what said, she asked. "Can you go find him? We have to go home."
I sighed. "Okay." I figured I'd have to considering he was locked in a closet in the basement.
Klaus and I ran downstairs and he hurriedly unlocked the closet door. The door was opened and Duncan tackled Klaus to the ground. "You left us in there for two days!"
I looked at my watch. "It's been ten minutes."
He stood and shrugged. "Same difference."
Bea skipped out and stopped in front. "Do I kill you now, Iz? Or do I wait to get revenge?"
I smiled sweetly. "I think you should thank me."
"Hey, Duncan," Klaus stood up, rubbing his shoulder. "You gotta go home."
"Yeah, Duncan, let's go," I said, heading upstairs.
"I'm telling Mom on you!" Duncan whined.
"Do that, and I'll tell her what you did during therapy yesterday," I warned.
"…You're evil…"
We found my mom being distracted by talking to someone in French and my dad looked like he was just going to take Quigley and leave. After a while, my mom finally decided to leave, for real this time. We said our good-byes. Bea smiled and waved at Duncan and he nodded at her. It doesn't take a genius to know something happened in that closet. I'll bug her about it later.
And that was my night! It's around 3:00 AM and I haven't eat anything since lunch. I'm going to go raid the refrigerator! Yay!
Bye!
How was that? It's not my best, but I'm satisfied. I'm tired. *faints*
I listened to "Taken By Surpreeze" from the ASOUE movie part of the time I was typing this. I love that little musical number! :D
