At Jade's at 8am the next day
"you're sure she's okay with me being part of the relationship" asks Jade still very skeptical
"yes, so long as there's a standing rule that she can say no to anything romantic, she still sees you as this over controlling person that never let her suggest anything she wanted to do and even when you did it had to be done your way, you never let her have any say" says Tori
"Robbie said the thing I threw at him was a love letter from Cat, is that true" says Jade
"yes, she wrote one for me and one for you, she even had one written for Robbie that she'd written when she was ten but she keeps that one locked in a box that she's long forgotten the code to, had he been more in control of his feelings for her she might have broken the letter out and put it in his locker the same day we got ours but she determined she was his obsession not that he loved her so she decided against it" says Tori
"does she form crushes or form feelings that, easily or something" asks Jade worried Cat will bail out of the polyamorous relationship that's coming soon
"feelings do come easy to her yes but as soon as she's slighted by those she has feelings for, the feelings diminish, that is unless you're in a relationship with her" says Tori
"have you heard from Miley yet, Agatha told me they're aware of the situation being clear for them to visit for a romantic visit" says Jade
"they're coming over tonight but not as our girlfriends, you know more about pleasing girls than Cat or I do, though I'm not sure how, they want to make sure that Cat can handle such a sexually active relationship before injecting themselves officially into the relationship" says Tori
"what does she usually do" asks Jade
"she loves to make out, though when we do end up getting naked, which isn't often though not because we don't want to, she mostly just kisses me down there and licks around it, honestly it's more than enough most of the time but Miley and Lilly are quite active and they more or less expect anyone they're in a polyamorous relationship with to be just as active, though they only do the basics but Cat doesn't even know that, apparently her elementary school was quite against lesbian relationships and banned quite a few lesbian leaning search words, she said she got detention quite a lot because of it, she said upwards of fifty detentions a year" says Tori
"I was with her at that school, they were quite religious, almost to the extreme, Cat had to wear a nuns outfit and she was often shunned by her classmates, it's where her and I originally met, we were friends pretty quickly but I never knew that was why she was in detention so much, luckily the middle school wasn't that kind of school and it's where I got my girl sex experience from though do not tell my parents that" says Jade
"wait you were having sex in middle school, that's very early, even by my belief that it happens in late middle school" says Tori shocked
"she was paranoid and I was the only one who made her feel safe, unfortunately she took her own life when her parents found out about it, mind you they'd been planning to find a safe way to end her life without her consent anyway because of her paranoia, she was quite gentle and even then most of our time spent together was reading up on how sex worked, it started because we'd stumbled upon an article about lesbians and sex, we looked up a video after reading it and we experimented a little, anyway if Cat's up for it we could have a little fun now" says Jade
"she'd rather watch, at least the first few times, if I trust you enough to do it then you'll also gain her trust, don't be surprised if she doesn't flirt with you, she might kiss you but don't expect her to flirt, though she will flirt with Miley and Lilly" says Tori
"I'm ok with her watching us, she's always learned better from watching things than doing them, is she up" says Jade
"yes, she hasn't gone to bed yet, her meds give her insomnia, though she does nap a lot she doesn't really sleep" says Tori
"wait her meds for her hypoglycemia, that's not normal" says Jade
"it's a new medication, even with your help financially we couldn't afford the meds the doctor prescribed so he got her on a trial that pays her to be part of it, it mostly covers her snacks" says Tori
"I don't want her on experimental trials, you shouldn't either, especially when her life relies on the meds" says Jade
"the meds work, they're reworking the meds for the second run of the first trial step, they've actually isolated the problem because of Cat, before she joined they were dumbfounded as to what was causing the insomnia, oh and Cat's autistic" says Tori
"I could have told you that Cat's autistic a long time ago" says Jade
"may I ask why you didn't" asks Tori
"I went with her to her doctors appointment just before you arrived at Hollywood arts, not because I wanted to but because she didn't have a ride, I mentioned to him that her family AND I feel she should be tested for autism, something Cat backed me up on but her doctor declined to order the tests, telling us that adhd covered everything, what doctor did you take her to to get that test" says Jade
"she goes to my doctor now, he'll order just about any test so long as we either have coverage for it or we can afford it and Cat's health coverage is pretty good, way better than mine, all mine covered was the anxiety and depression tests, luckily it covers what meds I need and my glasses" says Tori as they head up to talk to Cat about what they are about to do
"hey Jadey" says Cat cutely
"so I was thinking about sex with Tori, would you like to…" asks Jade as Cat cuts her off
"no" says Cat
"I wasn't asking you to join but to watch, I know that's how you learn best, you can do whatever you want with yourself while you watch but you don't have to join, not if you don't want to" says Jade
"oh ok, yeah I guess I can do that" says Cat surprised about how much Jade's willing to bend to her needs
1 hour later after the fun is over
"you know I never expected Cat to want to be played with on the first go, she's usually very slow in that department, though I have never minded it, it made things fun" says Tori as her and Jade cuddle a sleeping Cat
"I never expected her to have so much energy, the whole high energy Cat thing back when we were at Hollywood arts was mostly an act, by nature she's usually reserved" says Jade
"wait but she's always been high energy around me, even after we started dating" says Tori confused
"you can't compare the two versions of herself, school has always more or less been her enemy, especially during tests days, she always needed extra time to collect her thoughts, she always ended up getting amazing grades but the teachers had to be forced to accommodate her, she always felt like school was a prison as opposed to a place to learn as a result of how teachers treated her, I always knew she'd want to join in once she understood what to do, she's a quick learner, always has been, that's why I said 'you can do whatever you want with yourself while you watch but you don't have to join', I gave her the freedom to choose, something you were known for doing, at least outside of school as you had very little say in what she could choose to do at school, something that has been bothering me however is since Robbie told me about the love letter last year, did Cat plan for what to do if we'd both asked her out as a result of the letters" says Jade
"yes, she's way smarter than people give her credit for, she'd have said yes and it would have been up to us to figure out what to do, I'd have had to back out because of my dad, he wasn't always so understanding about polyamorous people, he used to consider those relationships as illegal as polygamous relationships, he assumed that people just used different words to describe it" says Tori beginning to play with Cat's hair
"so in my hypothetical scenario I'd have been the one dating Cat instead of you till now, Cat would have been way different had that happened" says Jade
"are you saying that Cat was better off starting with me romantically" asks Tori surprised that Jade's admitting for once that she did something right
"admittedly I'd have loved to have dated Cat right out of high school but you're the softer girlfriend, you gave her space to grow, I'd have dived right into sex and not this beginner stuff either, just knowing another girl loved me would have sent me down an uncontrollable path, she'd have been crawling to you quite quickly, how things happened gave me time to adjust and find ways to use my money effectively and it gave me time to think about love and how I'd like to run my love life" says Jade
"on the way here last night Cat couldn't understand why you helped me pay bills for so little in return, she said that was so out of character for you even the old you wouldn't have done that, it made me wonder if maybe your feelings for Cat played a role somehow" says Tori
"my feelings for her definitely played a role, I felt that by helping you I was helping her" says Jade
"oh so that's why you offered to pay me so much for doing your groceries, wait where's your cat, don't you need to keep her within view" says Tori
"she's at the foot of the bed sleeping, Mittens is really attached to Cat, which is odd because she doesn't usually like many people and she's deaf and has some really odd habits like burying herself in sand, loose dirt and her kitty litter, she's almost died a few times, oddly she seems to enjoy Cat's company, almost like she's Cat's cat" says Jade
"Cat used to have a kitten just before she got to Hollywood Arts named Mittens, she went on a walk with her one day and never saw her again" says Tori as Cat wakes up
"did one of you mention Mittens, because Jadey your cat looks just like my kitten that I lost, I was never allowed to have a pet again after that" says Cat
"where exactly did you lose her" asks Jade genuinely curious if her mittens is the same as Cat's mittens
"near Elderly Acres, I was headed to the In and out burger near there as they'd launched the kit cup, essentially it's the same thing as the pup cup they'd launched the year earlier but safe for cats, I don't know if there's actually any difference between the two as I never got to get one, I was hit by a bike and Mittens went flying" says Cat as Mittens comes over and cuddles her in a very familiar way
"whoa, wait Cat didn't you say your mittens would cuddle you like that" says Tori
"yeah though I've never cuddled her naked before, let me try something" says Cat
"ok" says Jade
"Ciao guanti" says Cat in Italian as Mittens immediately responds lovingly
"wait but she's deaf" says Jade
"mostly deaf, at least to certain frequencies, its why she likes burying herself, it allows her to hear through the vibrations, has she ever cuddled you" says Cat petting Mittebs
"now that you mention it she does, especially when I'm talking through my plays, may I ask what she can and can't hear" says Jade
"she has trouble with the lower vocal frequencies so mostly guys, she only cuddles people she wants to hear more of, the only guy she ever cuddled was Robbie, though she was getting close to Andre when I lost her, man I miss talking to them, they hate me for something that I had no control over, sure maybe I wrote the secret admirer letters but it's not like I forced Tori to date me, honestly I expected her, to laugh it off and date Andre, never in a million years would I have thought Tori would ask me out as a result of the letter and Robbie pushed me away with his idolization of me" says Cat
"I'll deal with Robbie, Gabriella actually talks to me and enjoys my plays so he can't just ignore me, as for Andre he and Sadie aren't actually doing all that well, they've been fighting a lot lately, they both want kids but her parents don't want a 'black' grandchild so Andre has been avoiding anything that could lead to her getting pregnant, which given her parents own a theatre I can apply leverage and get them to compromise as they've been wanting to host some of my plays" says Jade
"whatever you do, don't get yourself in trouble, I still have so much to learn and Miley actually likes the idea of someone in the relationship with advanced knowledge, the four of us only know the basics now and we're all eager to learn" says Cat
"well Miley and Lilly want you to get used to a very sexually active relationship because they are quite active before bringing themselves into it" says Jade
"wait so I'm literally stopping us from getting what we all obviously want" asks Cat
"you're physically the youngest of us, they just want to make sure you can handle such a sexually active relationship, nothing is stopping you from flirting with them later today when they come for dinner, they just won't engage in anything past that until they're sure you're up to it, Miley has pretty bad anxiety, she wants to make sure her bases are covered before starting anything big, your parents being high status lawyers doesn't help though, neither does my dad being a cop that services LA and Malibu, they'd rather approach this relationship slowly and cautiously than fast and have either of our parents pull the trigger on a lawsuit because we did something you weren't ready for" says Tori
"that's fair I guess, my dad can be a little trigger happy, how long do you think it will take to get me up to their speed" says Cat
"two weeks, one week to show you the ropes and one week where to show us what you've learned, the frequency is up to you however, it can be as often or as infrequent as you want, Tori quit this morning, my money is your money now" says Jade
"round two now then" says Cat getting on top of Tori
"ok" says Jade
5 hours later
"you sure do rebound quick don't you Kitty" remarks Jade
"hard not to, this is fun, more please" says Cat
"ok I need a break to work on my next play, you and Tori can have fun, Miley and Lilly arrive in three hours" says Jade getting up, getting dressed and heading to her office
3 hours later as Miley and Lilly arrive
"where's Cat and Tori, my aunt said they'd be here" asks Lilly
"they're sleeping, Cat seems to have endless energy in bed, they stopped for a nap an hour ago but last I checked they were on round ten or something, they'll be up shortly for dinner" says Jade
"I've heard a lot about you from Sabrina" says Miley
"wait how do you know her, she killed herself years ago" says Jade
"that's what she wanted her family to think, unfortunately to do that she had to convince you she was dead, she's paranoia free now, has been for three years, she's dating your doctor cousin" says Miley
"which one, I have five, all but one are men" says Jade
"you know her well enough to know she'd never pick a man, though the prodigy doctor cousin is the one who found the right medication for her" says Miley
"Adriana is a little young for Sabrina, by that I mean three years, if my dad knew I don't think he'd be ok with it, Adri may be a doctor but in her personal life she's too trusting, and Sabrina has been stable before on medication, its not a guaranteed stability, in Sabrina's life there have been dozens of miracle medications that have made her stable for a few years then it fails, doctors have been told its more than just paranoia, that it could be schizophrenia as her older brother and youngest sister are both schizophrenic, Doctors have always rejected a schizophrenia diagnostic test because she's 'too stable' for schizophrenia, meanwhile they blatantly ignored all the signs and called it 'mimicry' and not real symptoms, however if they'd actually gotten to know Sabrina instead of passing her off to another doctor after a few years of diagnostic care for her they'd have known that schizophrenia is exceedingly likely" says Jade
"your cousin did do a schizophrenia test and she just narrowly escaped a diagnosis however she is also on medication to lessen the severity of ALL of her psych symptoms, including those indicative of Schizophrenia, Sabrina herself said she's only once before felt so in control, she mentioned something about sex research in middle school and actual sex at the same time, said it was with you" says Lilly
"yes, her family is quite religious, they forbade her from researching anything sex related and even forced her teachers to omit sex education from her curriculum, she's always been more or less overly sexual, every interaction she had with girls was overly sexual, such things diminished after I helped her learn what her parents forbade her from learning about and yes we experimented a little but I wouldn't call what we did sex, especially not by today's definition and certainly not by the definition at the time, sure maybe we were naked and we touched each other and rubbed a little but no fingers ever went inside either of us, either down there or our mouths, Adriana's mother knew about it and encouraged experimentation but told us to never go farther than we were comfortable with" says Jade
"my dad would consider that sex" says Lilly as Miley nods in agreement
"my parents did not and do not, they set up basic rules, mainly that nothing would go inside each other, that whatever we did would have to be visible skin surface only, though my parents weren't ok with the frequency of the events they always maintained that the more I understood about myself the better, believe it or not I had quite a few piercings and even a tattoo, each time I said I had parental permission, which I did not have, except for the first ear piercings I got, my parents rightfully said it was out of character for me, however I'd met Beck around that time and he fueled a rebellious streak in me that became quite a problem once we started dating, it pushed me away from Cat and got me aggressive towards Tori on her first day for the stupidest reason, she wasn't paying attention and accidentally bumped into Beck and spilt some of his coffee onto his shirt and she was awkwardly trying to make it less noticeable when I walked in, looking back I shouldn't have been so angry with her, it was an honest mistake that I never let her apologize for even though I should have apologized" says Jade as Tori and Cat over from the bedroom in sexy dresses
"you know you two don't need to dress up for us right, this relationship is guaranteed to happen, it's just a matter of who participates more" says Lilly
"we wanted to look good and these are the only fancy clothes we own even if they're borderline lingerie style dresses" says Cat
"Jade it won't take two weeks, she's already mastered the basics and she wants to learn more advanced stuff tomorrow with you involved the entire time" says Tori
"take a week at least, my dad's accepted that I'm in a polyamorous relationship but he feels the need to make strict rules about what can and can't happen in his house, though I like how close to the pier Jade's home is, though I expected it to be bigger, is there really enough space for us" says Miley
"it's bigger than it looks, most of the space is taken up by my bedroom, I've made it as big as I legally could, it's massive, there are two spare bedrooms that can be used until the relationship comes to full force that can be turned into offices or safe rooms and the basement is basically a vault in its own right, it can be converted to a few things, a recording studio in one corner among them" says Jade
"I already have an off site recording studio though one for Tori and Cat wouldn't be a bad idea" says Miley
"wait you're signing us up for Hannah's label" asks Cat surprised
"absolutely, you're not dating Hannah so there's no legal conflict of interest, at least as far as the public knows, besides I have someone outside of my influence writing the checks" says Miley
"we can come up with fake names so Hannah can date us too" says Cat protesting being left out of half of Miley's life
"no, there are some things I'd like to keep to myself without sharing it with Hannah, creating fake names to be in Hannah's entourage is ok with me but I want Hannah to remain only dating Lola, I don't want to be a scandal because I'm polyamorous, it's very important that Hannah remain monogamous, for my personal reasons as well as political reasons, women's rights aren't safe in a few states, I'd rather not be a focal point for them to aim at" says Miley
"oh ok yeah I guess that makes sense, however here's the thing, I don't want to wait, I've waited long enough" says Cat
"for us, please wait, Miley needs to find out what the rules will be, depending on what they are will decide on where we spend more time, her dad doesn't like when things happen without him at least having a say in it, he'll be back in town next week so you guys can meet him" says Lilly
"we're not allowed to get married, it's illegal for polyamorous people to get married, meeting parents is a step in that direction, honestly I'd much rather we all stayed here at Jadey's house, she also has a bigger house in Malibu next to Miley's old house, with a pool and tree leaves at the fence" says Cat
"wow, I was wondering when the weirdo was going to sell, he and my dad never got along, I'd recommend getting those floors redone, he and his family were overweight, his deck broke on him a few times, nearly sent him to the hospital once" says Miley
"already all done thanks to a recommendation by Mikayla, I wouldn't mind just splitting time between here and that house rather than getting your dad involved, Cat's pretty scared about meeting parents" says Jade
"while I agree with you, he's using Hannah's money to remodel my bedroom into a mini home for me, a second floor and everything so I can't just not spend time there once the work is done so we should spend some time there even if it's only a day a week at first, my dad's just very protective of me, he'll want to speak to the three of you independently anyway" says Miley as Cat panics
"yeah no he won't be speaking to Cat alone, she's autistic, she didn't even like parent teacher interviews for school growing up, if he starts asking her a million questions about loyalty and love and stuff she'll faint, she's hypoglycemic meaning her body processes sugar a little too well, there's no obvious tell for when she faints, before being diagnosed hypoglycemic it was thought that her fainting was due to anxiety, however its more linked to her blood sugar levels than her anxiety though one can exaggerate the other, her body won't tolerate many questions from your dad" says Tori
"surely she's met your dad though because my aunt said he advocated for her" says Miley
"because she'd met him before when Cat and I were just friends, yes Cat and my dad had a chat when we started dating but the questions were asked over the span of several hours, I doubt your dad will have the patience to spread them out like that, even then her smart watch would yell at her about racing heart rates, to her a father asking questions is like an interrogation, someone will have to be by her side the entire time without fail, her anxiety is that bad, especially with someone as famous as your dad" says Tori
"I don't know how good a fit this will be if her anxiety is that bad" says Miley as Cat storms off
"you do realize you just insulted her right, I can almost guarantee that she'll tell her dad that you don't think she's mature enough for the relationship because of her anxiety, she's literally the main person perusing the relationship, without her there is no point in you even being here, if I were you if expect a visit from her dad" says Tori
"I didn't mean it like that though, it's just that my dad always talks to the people I get in relationships with one on one, he won't accept her having the conversation with someone with her" says Miley
"she's autistic and she has adhd, besides her brother got her hooked on your dad's music from when he was a musician" says Tori
"so this isn't about love it's about sleeping with her favorite artists daughter" asks Miley
"she wouldn't pursue it if it weren't about love, she's a lot to handle even on a good day so we were always looking for a polyamorous solution, one person simply can't keep her needs met, for example after she engaged in round one of sex this morning after Jade walked her through it we proceeded to have fifteen more rounds, she's completely worn me down and she wants advanced sex lessons after you leave, if she'd known what she knows now back when it was just her and I, I'd be in the hospital constantly because of dehydration and exhaustion, likely leading to my death, one person doesn't have the energy, Jade has to spend time writing plays so she won't be consistently available when Cat's in the mood, which is quite often, there were days I'd come home from work to her laying in bed naked with food beside her and she'd be sweating because she'd spent nearly my entire shift playing with herself on and off the entire time, my apartment has never been cool, I didn't control the temperature, the apartment super did" says Tori
"she's not a nimpfo is she" asks Miley
"nah just hypersexual, though it didn't really become a problem until she was dating me, her doctor has long known that it would be a problem because of her search history but that she was obviously in control of it and that it would be a problem when she got into a romantic and sexual relationship" says Tori
"I'll talk to my dad and get it figured out, I've known about her for years because she makes her own clothes and they're almost always peak fashion, way ahead of the rest of the world, she's cute and funny as well" says Miley
"wait you think she's funny, her brand of humor is quite unique, granted I also think she's funny but Jade doesn't think she's always funny, most people think she's not funny ever" says Tori
"admittedly she has her unfunny moments but her humor has a cute charm to it that is definitely an acquired taste, especially considering she's not a child, I find it refreshing that she lets her inner child shine" says Miley
"she Amy or may not age regress, I assume you know what that means" says Tori
"yes I know what that means, does she or doesn't she regress, it's important I know" asks Miley
"if you ask me yes, however she refuses to acknowledge it when around a doctor but will confess she does when we get home" says Tori
"I don't require an official diagnosis to accommodate her, does she have any standing rules in place" says Miley
"only one, that she be allowed to say no to romantic or sexual situations, though I don't see her saying no to the latter very often, romantic situations however she likes in moderation, we'd go on dates maybe once a week if I was lucky, usually once every two weeks, kissing is also something she likes in moderation unless she's in bed with us then it'll be an all out make out session" says Tori
"is she loud by chance" asks Lilly
"not as loud as you'd think, my bedroom isn't soundproofed on the interior walls and I didn't even notice they were still making love, I'd honestly thought they'd fallen asleep" says Jade
"to be fair her mouth was occupied but yes in general she's actually fairly quiet, though she can be deafening when she wants to be, my former apartment neighbors long list of noise complaints during the night are evidence of that" says Tori
"is she easy or hard to climax in bed" asks Lilly
"it depends on how self active she's been on any given day and how easily her body responds to said self activity, her meds sometimes interfere with said functions, on those days she's quite easy, otherwise it can take several sessions to properly please her" says Tori
"will she be joining us for dinner" asks Miley
"probably but she won't be as flirty as she'd planned to be, we chose these dresses because they're a tad revealing, our intention was to convince you to stay the night and have some fun, you've probably killed the mood now" says Tori as Cat comes out in lingerie
"I'd say you are wrong on that" says Jade as Cat forcefully kisses Miley
"is that enough smarts for you Miley, I'm not stupid, your dad is just like mega famous in my family, meeting him would be like a Christian meeting Jesus face to face, my parents favorite wedding song was one of your dads songs, in fact the entire reception was filled to the brim with his songs, they went to every one of his concerts, I can't just have him ask me a bunch of questions alone without thinking that he's interrogating me, I was the same with Tori's dad, even though I knew him well enough and he knew almost too much about me because of my naïve music related accidental crimes like the atm theft over five grand on my record because of a stupid bug in the atm software that allowed you to play a song and get free money, he still acted as if I was a complete stranger and was somehow invading Tori's life by force, he genuinely treated me like a criminal, I've never been fond of dad's asking their daughters dates questions, just say you don't trust your daughter and get it over with, if your dad has a woman in his life id honestly rather she be the one asking me questions, most dads don't treat me like a human being anyway, they never have, my dad even struggled with that very thing for many years even though I'm very much a daddies girl" says Cat
"you have a history with adult men don't you, your statement doesn't scream 'I don't trust dads', it screams 'I don't trust men', there is a difference, I'm sorry I didn't word the earlier statement right, I'm actually quite anxious right now, Lilly, maybe we should stay the night, that is if we're welcome to" says Miley
"I'm not talking about my past and I won't so don't ask about it, just know I won't talk to your dad alone, no matter what, just meeting him could lead to a hospital visit for my fainting" says Cat
"Cat are we welcome to stay the night" asks Lilly
"so long as you stay in Jade's bed with us and engage with us" says Cat
"is there enough room on that bed, I don't know many beds that fit five people" asks Lilly
"I have two king beds that I strapped together with wood, I like being able to sprawl out on my bed so I made it big enough to do that, though being surrounded by four lovely women is definitely better" says Jade
"then that settles that, we're staying the night but we won't be official for a week" says Miley
"that's fair but I want you to tell your dad that Tori will be with me when he wants to ask me questions, oh and I want to go on a ride with one of your therapy horses" says Cat
"how'd you hear about them, nobody as far as I'm aware besides the therapy horse community knows I raise them" says Miley
"you left in a keyword in one of your posts, probably by accident, it was RTH, given what I already knew about you I knew it could only possibly mean raising therapy horses, especially given the picture was of you on Skylar" says Cat
"oh that post, yeah that wasn't meant to be public, it was supposed to be a private message from me to the therapy horse community group I'm a part of but I accidentally hit post instead of send, only like ten people saw it, it was only up for like five minutes, you'd have to have been constantly refreshing my profile to have seen it" says Miley
"I spent my days eating, sleeping, researching for a book about horses I want to make and playing with myself while Tori was at work, your posts about caring for horses were always where I would begin my research, so yeah I'd be constantly refreshing your profile looking for ideas, though my book is completely inaccurate because I've never met a regular horse in person, just at county fairs and stuff where they have the pony rides, I have my horses at even feet tall at their backs, surely that can't be right" says Cat
"what's your book about" asks Lilly
"it's set in a post apocalyptic era caused by nuclear way where a girl and her friends plan to repopulate their state and they find a pack of horses that somehow survived the war without being affected" says Cat
"repopulating a state all by themselves seems pretty far fetched" says Jade
"there are other groups of people that they find near the middle of the book but they don't find them until after the horses" says Cat
"are there no older people or something or is it just all young adults" asks Lilly
"most of them got wiped out by the radiation, the high schools in this state had bomb shelters that were maintained, book three has them repairing part of the electric grid and trying to communicate with any survivors or even surviving governments, this group of kids is seventeen, anyway enough about my book, it'll never sell, it's just a hobby project since I don't have money for a sewing project I want to start" says Cat
"so what's for dinner" asks Lilly
"fancy spaghetti and meatballs, I've already prepared the spaghetti sauce and meatballs, I just have to make the spaghetti, you girls mingle while I get that done" says Jade as Lilly kisses her
"might as well get the mood started, not sure there will be much talking" says Lilly
"true" says Jade shaking her head as everyone else starts making out
