Ben's Note of Disappointment: Alright guys, I need to give this warning because, let's face it, I can't handle it anymore. I love all you reviewers. I truly honestly do. But please try to do the things I'm going to ask. I've been absolutely miserable the last few days because I have bronchitis. (For those uneducated in medicine, inflammation of the lungs.) Because of this, I've been sick and have a splitting headache and my paranoia started to act up. So I please ask that when you review you 1. Use punctuation. 2. Use grammar. 3. Fangirl in a calm collected way that isn't as confusing as it normally is. 4. Not bully my other reviewers. 5. Don't demand me to update, because I'm sick and busy and stressed and a bunch of other sheep. I doubt anyone is doing this consciously, but for the time I'm sick, please try to abide by these rules. (You should abide by them all the time anyway, but I understand girls get excited.) Also, Rainbow Swirl and EAH GEEK? I miss your reviews! I understand you can't review every chapter, but I do miss you guys wherever you may be!

KCL: I agree, March has so far sucked. But if we keep our minds focused and hope that things will get better, then things will look up eventually.

Apple Cider: Um… every one of my fangirls and I have a writer/reader relationship. If it helps, I'm officially off the market. And your forgiven, I get bored too.

Hello: First off, I'm not mean. I will update when I can, simple as that. 2. I updated 9:15 P.M. Mountain Time. We live in different time zones. 3. I'm sorry your bored, I can be bored too, but I'm not always going to be around to update. 4. I'm seventeen, not fifteen. 5. Don't joke about life being terrible. Be serious or don't say it at all. 6. Sorry if I sound like a jerk, but read the major note above, and you can kind of see why.

Prompt 87: Confusion

Kitty wasn't confused that often. She normally was able to understand certain things given enough time. However, when she walked into the Musty Muffin, two things confused her most of all. The first thing was that Alistair was nowhere to be seen.

The second was Maddie's and Sven's argument.

"No, my popcorn tastes like goats!"

"No, I d-d-d-don't think so! You're elephant doesn't play t-t-t-t-table tops!"

"Porcupine!"

"L-l-l-l-lollipop chicken!"

Kitty blinked at this conversation. Sven was sitting in one of the booths while Maddie was pouring him water. Kitty awkwardly walked over to the two, which Maddie took notice off. "Kitty, perfect! Does hopscotch taste like yak?"

"Um…"

"N-n-n-n-no Maddie, racquet ball is a spring umbrella!" Sven argued.

"Is not!"

"Yes, it is. So says the m-m-m-m-m-mighty sloth."

"Oh yeah? Your egg beater was a tortoise!"

"You d-d-d-did not just insult my p-p-p-p-pie!"

"Guys!" Kitty interrupted. "I have no idea what you two are talking about."

"Oh, I'm teaching Sven Riddlish," Maddie smiled. "He's really good at it too. Popcorn fun time on me tonight," Maddie said, winking at Sven, who blushed like crazy.

Kitty shook her head. "Surprisingly, I don't want to translate what that means," Kitty said flatly. "Have you two seen Alistair? He promised to meet up with me for my birthday, but I haven't seen him all day long."

Maddie gave Sven a side glance and a smirk. Sven returned it, only it was more nervous and fidgety. Kitty didn't seem to notice. "W-w-w-w-w-we just s-s-s-s-saw him leave," Sven said, looking around shiftily.

Kitty sighed, shaking her head. "Seriously, that boy is annoying the heck out of me today," Kitty grumbled. "Thanks Sven… I guess I'll just go hang out in my dorm and wait for Alistair to come to his senses…"

"Hang on silly! We have a birthday present for you!" Maddie said, hiding a smirk. She took her hat off and reached into it. When she removed her hand, it was a box of tissues. "You'll need these!" Maddie said seriously.

Kitty hesitantly grabbed the box of tissues from Maddie. "Thanks Maddie… just what I always wanted," Kitty said with a forced smile.

"I d-d-d-didn't g-g-g-g-get you anything," Sven said nervously. "B-b-b-b-but… I think I c-c-c-can tell you where Alistair is, or at least, w-w-w-w-was."

Kitty sighed but nodded. "Might as well try," Kitty grumbled. "Where'd he go to?"

"He s-s-s-s-said something about g-g-g-g-going to talk to Lizzie and Hunter in f-f-f-f-front of Ashlynn's s-s-s-shoe store. D-d-d-d-don't know why."

Kitty sighed but gave Sven a grateful smile. "Thanks Sven," she said and quickly left the Musty Muffin. Once she was gone, Maddie burst out into giggles while Sven gave hesitant chuckles.

"She has no idea, does she?" Maddie laughed.

"N-n-n-n-no… but she s-s-s-s-seemed a little upset. M-m-m-m-m-maybe this isn't the b-b-b-b-best idea…"

Maddie smiled. "Don't worry Sven. Neb calculated everything. He said everything will end exactly the way he writes it to be. So… ok, I think."

Sven frowned. "That d-d-d-d-doesn't make me feel better," Sven grumbled.

"Popcorn fun time."

"Stop t-t-t-t-t-talking about that in public!"

BN: More and more mysteries popping up. I wonder what they all mean… anyway, I wanted to show off Sven one last time to his fullest before going full gear into Kittystair. Sven might appear later on, but I just wanted to show him off one last time. Also, you may notice he's still his paranoid, stuttering self, but he's a bit braver. Maddie sure is a handful, but she develops characters better than any other character in this thing. (Except for maybe Neb.)
