LzyBrunette: i'm going back to bed but i wanted to tell you
Em hates peas: to tell me?
LzyBrunette: that i am writing a sequel
Em hates peas: oooo
LzyBrunette: it was for the idiots whop always assume
Em hates peas: ooo i see...
LzyBrunette: i hate it
Em hates peas: keep them on their toes lol
LzyBrunette: besides i couldn't think of anything to say
Em hates peas: fair enough.
Em hates peas: are you now going back to bed?

Em hates peas: Ok, well sleep well and i'll talk to you soon
LzyBrunette: i'lll shall leave you a teaser
Em hates peas: oo
LzyBrunette: "Go fishie." Isabel told Ben.
"You're supposed to ask me what card you want"
"Ok, what card you want?" She asked and fanned her cards Ben's way.
"Nooooooooo" He pushed them back. "Don't show me. What card do you want?"
"Um…" she put her finger to her lips as she contemplated. "This one" She held the card up.
"IZ-ZY!"
"Okay, that's enough."
"She doesn't play right!" Ben crossed his arms.
"Ben, stop it. She doesn't understand the game. C'mon kiddo, let's go to Jack in the Box." I
came towards Iz.
"YAY!" She bounced up.
"Go to the bathroom first." I directed her upstairs. "Sure, you don't wanna go Ben?"
"No."
"Ben?" I pushed.
"I don't wanna go?!" He made a face.
"What do you want to eat?"
"Nothing, I don't care." He pouted.
Em hates peas: awwwww :-)
Auto response from LzyBrunette: With SLLS nearly finished our heroine writer
takes a few hours to rest her head and collect her last minute thoughts. While we are anxious
and eager about her triumphant end, we are saddened by the news of no sequel. Please dear
author, say it isn't so!
Em hates peas: sleep well Asha! xx
LzyBrunette: i cou;dn't sleep
Em hates peas: awww
Em hates peas: i was bored and started writing a new fic cos i couldnt write any of the
ones i already have lol
LzyBrunette: ha
Em hates peas: i think my 3 paragraphs are ok
LzyBrunette: coolo
Em hates peas: i dont have a storyline though.....which is you know not so good
Em hates peas: soooo what time is it there/
LzyBrunette: 7:15am
Em hates peas: early...
Em hates peas: it's 3.15pm here
LzyBrunette: what happened to my members
Em hates peas: what do you mean?
LzyBrunette: it has the same number but there is a deleted member on top that says What
Em hates peas: weird
LzyBrunette: i wish i was could sleep
Em hates peas: aww, i hate it when you cant sleep (by you i mean people in general not
yu, you)
Em hates peas: *you
LzyBrunette: haha
Em hates peas: :-)
Em hates peas: wanna read 3 paragraphs of new stuff from me?
LzyBrunette: yeah
Em hates peas: I've been running for a long time, so long my feet are numb, my muscles
are straining and I'm gasping for breath, I know I should slow down, or stop but I can't,
because I need to get away, from home, from them, from my life.
Maybe if I run far enough I can get away from myself.
But you can't can you? People always say you can't get away from yourself, you can't run
from your problems.
Thoughts are zooming around in my head, I can hardly pick out one from another except
'Keep running' that thought stands out clear as day, it's repeated over and over again, a
running mantra in my head.
"Keep Running Sydney," I muttered to myself, bending my head and attempting to pick up
some speed, It didn't work, I was too tired to keep going, my feet stumbled over the tree
roots underneath them, sending me sprawling across the ground and this time I didn't
bother to pick myself up and keep going, Instead I gave in right then.
If someone said to me 'when did you give up Syd?' it would be this moment, right here
lying in the dirt, exhausted, aching, barely holding back tears. This is it.
LzyBrunette: interesting
Em hates peas: i dont even know where it came from, what she's running from, what it's
about...i havent a clue, and you think it sucks
LzyBrunette: no i don't
Em hates peas: No?
LzyBrunette: i like it
LzyBrunette: it's interesting
Em hates peas: interesting...how/
Em hates peas: ?
LzyBrunette: i dunno
LzyBrunette: i wanna know more inter\esting
Em hates peas: lol, okay
Em hates peas: i would like to know more too
Em hates peas: i was pondering on whether to continue on from there, or have that bit
be the prologue and have the whole story work back to that point
LzyBrunette: hmmm
LzyBrunette: i really don't know
Em hates peas: me either
Em hates peas: i don't know much lol
LzyBrunette: i'm not sure about my ending
Em hates peas: the ending ending?
Em hates peas: How come?
LzyBrunette: i'm not sure if i should end it on the plane or when they get to the new house
LzyBrunette: i don't know if i'm dragging it out too much
Em hates peas: I don't think you would be dragging it out if you ended it at the house,
but if you want to end it on the plane that would work too. Either way would be good, just
do what feels right.
LzyBrunette: well they both fee; right, that's my problem
LzyBrunette: feel*
Em hates peas: ooh i see.
Em hates peas: hmm
Em hates peas: the house would give it closure, the plane may leave it feeling like
there's more to come....
LzyBrunette: the plane sounds like a a better idea, but i have a scene at the house already
written
Em hates peas: but i mean just cos you wrote it doesnt mean you have to use it. If the
plane sounds better to you then go for iyt
LzyBrunette: well...i wanted to use it
LzyBrunette: no one will ever read if i don't
LzyBrunette: read it*
Em hates peas: true
Em hates peas: then end it at the house
Em hates peas: or you could have it as one of your hidden links.....?
LzyBrunette: no, not on the ending
Em hates peas: okay, just a suggestion
LzyBrunette: have you seen joel's ugly hair?
Em hates peas: his floppy mohawk thing?
Em hates peas: yeah
LzyBrunette: *shudder*
Em hates peas: haha
Em hates peas: have you heard the new song? their single?
Em hates peas: oh no you dont have sound
LzyBrunette: i can't
Em hates peas: :-(
LzyBrunette: no it's because Jay died
LzyBrunette: i can't download music
LzyBrunette: or anything
LzyBrunette: jay had speakers
Em hates peas: aww :-( well only 51 days!
LzyBrunette: yup
LzyBrunette: besides the single will be out in like 2 weeks
LzyBrunette: so i'm not worried
Em hates peas: i decided to have that bit i sent you as the proloigue and have the rest
of the story work back to it
LzyBrunette: ooo neat
Em hates peas: so wanna read some more?
LzyBrunette: i wrote some of them awful truth sequel but i don't know if i can really write
it
LzyBrunette: yeah!
LzyBrunette: some of that*
Em hates peas: oo yay for writing some, ok here you go;
Em hates peas: "Syd! Syd, Hey Sydney wait up!"
I sighed, reaching up and pushing my headphones down so they were resting around my
neck, leaning back against the wall I turned my head in the direction the voice had come
from.
Oh Great. Joel.
I rolled my eyes and turned back around, slipping my headphones back on and starting to
walk again, obviously I wasn't walking fast enough because I felt his hand circle my arm
and pull me round to face him, I took a step back from him pulling my headphones off again
and glaring at him.
"I've been calling you for ages"
"Yeah, I hoped if I ignored you for long enough you'd go away"
Em hates peas: He raised an eyebrow at me and I smirked at him, taking in his
appearance and trying to keep myself from laughing.
Joel's one of those guys who just tries way to hard, he's forever changing his fashion
statements, I looked at his black shirt and black pants that were hanging way too low on
his hips it reminded me of all those guys in clueless, he had this huge silver cross on and a
sideways black and white baseball cap. This month he seems to want to be some sort of
hip/hop crossed with those people who only ever wear black…. it's disturbing.
"You know you love me Syd"
It was my turn to raise an eyebrow
"What do you want Madden? I'm busy
LzyBrunette: hehe
LzyBrunette: i like that
Em hates peas: Yeah? :-)
LzyBrunette: yup
Em hates peas: yay
Em hates peas: can i see what you wrote to the awful truth sequal?
LzyBrunette: sure
LzyBrunette: wow, i haven't touched it since 8/2
LzyBrunette: i thought it was sooner
Em hates peas: lol
LzyBrunette: ok here ya go...
LzyBrunette: "Momma…" his tiny hands shook me. "maaaaaa-maaaaaa." He stuck those
perfect little fingers in my ears and in my mouth. It took him all of 4 seconds to climb on top
of me bouncing and forcing my body awake.
"Okay, okay,alright…" I groaned.
At the same moment my alarm blared. I reached my arm out in frustration and agony, shut up
machine. I madly hit the clock on the nightstand. The alarm didn't stop, but the answering
machine came on.
"You have 2 messages…"
BEEP
"Luce, Luce, pick up the phone…alright, so don't answer…I'll be by later, don't be mad."
LzyBrunette: BEEP
"Hey, I'm just leaving a message cause you were asleep when I left. Don't worry I locked the
door and checked Gabe, everything was fine. I'm gonna stop by later, have a good morning and
good day. Bye, Luce."
I smiled to myself. I had a good reason to wake up now.
"Hey, gabie." I hugged him.
"Momma…I wanna have cheer-whoas" he sniffed. He'd been stuffed up all week.
"Ok, let's go get some breakfast." I said, rubbing his sore red nose and picking him up.
It was into the kitchen for cheerio's with bananas. Gabe played with his food in between
sniffs and sneezes. I think he was getting worse, but he looked so adorable with his little red
nose.
Em hates peas: ooh i like it!!!!
Em hates peas: i wanna know who the messages were from
LzyBrunette: hehe
Em hates peas: Cheer-whoas
Em hates peas: *pokes you* write more, now please :-) hehe
LzyBrunette: my sister used to sing a song about cheer-whoas
Em hates peas: hehe
LzyBrunette: cheerwhoas, cheerwhoas, cheerwhoas, cheerwhoas.
Em hates peas: Lol
Em hates peas: i'm trying to think of a guys name?
LzyBrunette: well i have an ending of the fisrt chapter and the beginning of the second
Em hates peas: oh you have more of that then i just read/
LzyBrunette: Julian

Em hates peas: ooh wow, you're American so you wouldn't know

Em hates peas: :-) yay
LzyBrunette: i'm nervous
LzyBrunette: ***
"Hey," he smiled, coming around the counter. I couldn't hide my grin.
"Hey." I matched his tone.
"did you get my message."
"uh huh." I twined my arms around his neck. "Got it load and clear, babe."
He smirked. "Jeez, Lucy, don't be so obvious."
I used the cutest pout imaginable. "Oh c'mon…please, Benj?"
Part 2
"No I'm serious." He pulled away. "Lucy, we…"
"Benji it's been, what? Three, four months?"
"but…"
"Benji if I want it and you want it…"
Em hates peas: Ooooo :-)
Em hates peas: Benji and Lucy
LzyBrunette: yeah
Em hates peas: You said you would do that if you wrote a sequal and have them be
hiding it
LzyBrunette: but no one (meaning readers) will know it's benji til the very moment at the
end
LzyBrunette: and they are hiding it
LzyBrunette: from joel (who was the first message)
LzyBrunette: and paul
LzyBrunette: and everybody
Em hates peas: that sounds great :-)
LzyBrunette: i feel dumb for putting them together
LzyBrunette: lucy's a ho
Em hates peas: yeah but she's not all bad
LzyBrunette: what would a 3-year-old call headphones?
Em hates peas: hmm..
Em hates peas: I'm not sure
Em hates peas: um.....
LzyBrunette: i jsut don't think she'd say headphones
LzyBrunette: ear things?
Em hates peas: yeah
LzyBrunette: hear things? listening things?
Em hates peas: hear things or head things
Em hates peas: or ear things
Em hates peas: one of those
Em hates peas: or hear thingys
LzyBrunette: i like head things
Em hates peas: :-) go for that then
Em hates peas: "Yeah cos you look real busy, I just wanted to know if you and Eli are
coming tonight"
He started waving a hot pink flyer around in front of my face until I grabbed it from him,
squinting to read the ridiculous font. Good Charlotte. Oh his band.
"Oh, yeah Eli mentioned it, apparently we're gonna be there"
He beamed at me "Cool, are you looking forward to it?"
I rolled my eyes at his cheerfulness and forced a smile onto my face
"Thrilled, can't wait, I'll be there with bells on, bye Joel"
He was still beaming away at me as if the sarcasm in my voice had gone right over his head,
I smirked and pulled my headphones back on with one hand, shoving the flyer in my bag
with the other and carrying on walking toward the library.
LzyBrunette: aww cute eager joel

Em hates peas: yep
LzyBrunette: being all adorable and sexy
Em hates peas: *sigh* how dare they/
LzyBrunette: haha
LzyBrunette: "Daddy, can you fix my head things?" Isabel waved her headphones at me, the
cord was all tangled. "I can't hear them."
"Sure baby." They also weren't plugged in I noticed. I quickly un-did the knot and plugged the
adapter back in, music came blaring out.
"Rancid?" I asked.
"Ruuuuby, ruuuuby, ruby, ruby soho." She replied and I slipped headphones back over her ears.
She hopped around to the music. I just loved my daughter. I love that we taught her the
important things first. I laughed.
Em hates peas: hahhaha
Em hates peas: awwww
Em hates peas: so cute
LzyBrunette: isabel is endlessly adorable
Em hates peas: she really is
LzyBrunette: you'll see when i post
LzyBrunette: which should be in the next hour or so
Em hates peas: oooo
Em hates peas: I glanced around me as I walked, this part of campus was practically
dead, except for Joel and his little friends handing out leaflets and trying desperately to get
people to come to their gig. Trying and Desperately being the operative words here. Elijah
and I were going, I didn't particularly want to but Joel's his 'Best buddy' and he wanted to
go and support the giggle twins and the rest of their band and I, as his girlfriend had to go
too.
LzyBrunette: haha
Em hates peas: the giggle twins.
Em hates peas: lol
LzyBrunette: yeah
LzyBrunette: i like that
Em hates peas: me too
LzyBrunette: andJoel's his 'Best buddy
LzyBrunette: that made me laugh
LzyBrunette: for some reason
Em hates peas: it amused me too so yay
LzyBrunette: billy's drunk on the plane and that's amusing me
Em hates peas: hahaha
Em hates peas: can i see a bit?
LzyBrunette: billy's afraid of flying
LzyBrunette: "Dad, do you wanna play cards?" Ben tapped me and rested his head on his
shoulder. He already played 50 games with Jessa and she was now busy feeding Noah.
"Alright."
"Hey!" Billy stuck his head between our seats. "Deal me in!" Then he laughed.
"Love, why don't you calm down." Carly told him.
"I am calm. I'm Billy." He giggled, Billy had had a few more drinks on the plane to compliment
the beers he had at the airport bar. At least he wasn't freaking out. he freaked out really bad
once when we went to Japan.
"Hey, Ben, why don't we…" I looked at Billy's stupid puppy dog grin. "why don't I, show you how
to play poker?"
Em hates peas: oooo i like :-) drunk Billy lol
LzyBrunette: "Yeah, poker's fun, one time I won $40 and a hooker playing poker." Billy
told.
Em hates peas: ahahhaa
LzyBrunette: silly boy
Em hates peas: yep yep
LzyBrunette: "uh…okay, Bill. But we're gonna play with airplane pretzels."
"yeah, pretzels are good too." Billy nodded.
LzyBrunette: i added that
Em hates peas: *giggles*

Em hates peas: Yeah
Em hates peas: i need to post me some ltb
Em hates peas: if you need some cheering up you can read some more of my new fic?
LzyBrunette: yeah
Em hates peas: Pushing open the libraries double doors I reached into my pocket with
my spare hand and tweaked the volume on my Discman, turning it down so only I could
hear it instead of blaring Rancid out to everyone within a five mile radius of me and carried
on walking, smiling at Mrs Tingle, the librarian, she raised her hand and waved at me,
nodding to her left and indicating that my usual table was free.
Em hates peas: I think I'd only been there about five minutes and I was trying not to fall
asleep on top of my textbook when someone wrapped their arms around me from behind, I
jumped in my seat and twisted my head round
"Eli…what are you doing here?"
He crouched down beside me one hand resting on my knee the other holding onto my
chair, keeping his balance
"Aren't I allowed to come and see my girl?"
Em hates peas: I forced a smile and nodded my head, he grinned back at me leaning
forward as if he was going to kiss me hello, I turned my head and his lips grazed my cheek,
frowning he increased his grip on my knee
"What's wrong Syd?"
I shook my head quickly "Nothing's wrong, it's just we're in the library" I whispered
bending my head closer to his.
I watched as his features relaxed and his grip on my leg lessened "So what time shall I pick
you up tonight?"
I shrugged my shoulders, reaching over him for my bag and rummaging through it until I
found the flyer, scanning it quickly before looking back up at him
"It starts at eight, Joel gave me this he seemed wicked excited, dork."
LzyBrunette: haha
LzyBrunette: but ooo, intrigue
Em hates peas: ooooooooo
Em hates peas: lol
LzyBrunette: yes, syd, what is wrong
Em hates peas: all will be revealed eventually
Em hates peas: (when i figure out what's wrong)
LzyBrunette: haha
LzyBrunette: so you liked benjamin undoing the buttons with his mouth?
Em hates peas: No.....O:-)
LzyBrunette: i liked this part
LzyBrunette: "You're gonna pay for interrupting, little girl."
God, I hoped so.
Em hates peas: i did too i dont know why i didnt quote itr
LzyBrunette: it's ok
Em hates peas: Elijah stuck his tongue out at me and swatted my leg, taking the flyer
out of my hands
"Ease up on Joel a little hey? You're not nearly so bad with Ben"
I shrugged
"Benjamin's kinda taciturn most of the time, he's like Oz from Buffy, I can deal with him in
small doses, as long as he's not with dorkus, because then they turn into the giggle twins
and it's irritating"
LzyBrunette: hahaha
Em hates peas: you seem to be enjoying this new fic ;-)
LzyBrunette: yes
LzyBrunette: oh, but i LOVED oz
LzyBrunette: one of the only characters i could stand
Em hates peas: I loved Oz

Benj

Em hates peas: Smirking he stood up, kissing me on the top of my head
"I'll pick you up at seven okay? I said I'd help them set up, don't study too hard"
I nodded "k, Bye"
I swivelled in my chair a little and watched as he bent his head, pulling his baseball cap
down as he walked out of the library, he probably had a colossal amount of money to pay
Mrs Tingle for all the books he borrowed and lost and he didn't wanna be recognised.
Sighing I turned back to my books.

Em hates peas: "Erin!"
I yelled, poking my head around my bedroom door and looking up and down the hallway,
No answer.
I sighed and walked down the hall to her room, glancing down at my watch it was twenty
past seven now and I really wanted her to come with me; the idea of sitting around doing
nothing while Eli helped set up Geek Charlotte wasn't exactly appealing.
My hand had just reached the door handle when it opened and I nearly fell right through it
"Whoa Syd, stalk much?"
I laughed
"Sorry, I was just coming to ask you if you wanna come out in ten minutes?"
I looked at her. Properly this time, she had on bright pink flannel p.j's with stars all over
them, fuzzy slippers and a facemask…. her saying yes didn't seem too likely.
She looked down at herself and smirked at me
"I don't think so, I'm not exactly dressed for it"
I grabbed a hold of her hands
Em hates peas: "Please Erin, Please" I begged, she narrowed her eyes at me and
crossed her arms over her chest
"Why should I?"
I tilted my head to the side and pretended to think about it for a minute
"Because I'm your best friend, and roommate and other good things" I paused and looked
back up at her, I could tell she didn't want to go out tonight, and Elijah's gonna get
stressed if I bring Erin to every single one of our dates.
I squeezed her hand
"Actually don't worry about it, I'm sure I'll find something to do, have a good night"
She smiled back at me as I dropped her hand
"You sure?"
I nodded and waved at her before turning around and walking back to my room, taking a
look in the mirror. I glanced at my reflection for about a second before all the pictures
tacked up around it distracted me, reaching up I pulled down one of Eli and I a few months
back, he's standing behind me with his arms wrapped around me and we're looking at each
other with our tongues sticking out.
It's my favourite picture. It was my favourite picture.

LzyBrunette: LOCAL HEROES GET HELP FROM LOCAL LEDGENDS
By: Jennifer Blalock
Calling Card is more than any little hometown heroes. Sure they've been a premiere DC band
for the past 5 years, but their popularity has only grown in this year alone. There was a label
war over the 4 average joes from Capital City, one that Rolling Stone, MTV, and VH1 covered
with length and after beiong courted by the likes of Geffen, Artista, and Colombia, they signed
with a couple of twins from just outside DC.
"Hey, man, my little sister had all the Good Charlotte records in high school." Says bassist, Matt
Johnson. "I think I took her to see 'em at the 9:30 club."
"I was a fan!" pipes lead singer and guitarist John Paul Malvestutto. "I had all the posters!" he
laughs. "Naw, really though, I liked 'em. They were…kinda different, like everything I actually
liked about popular music they used to their advantage."
While they might not have been fans of their band, Benji and Joel Madden were certainly fans
of Calling Card, and that's why they won the war and signed Calling Card to their DC Flag
record label last year.
"Hey, Benj, we won the war." Joel peers at his near identical brother.
"I claim their asses in the name of Madden!"

Em hates peas: i like the last line
Em hates peas: lol
Em hates peas: that's really good
LzyBrunette: thanks
LzyBrunette: i'm writing more
LzyBrunette: it'll make subtle mentions of their life
Em hates peas: sounds good
LzyBrunette: as well as talking about this new band, calling card
Em hates peas: cool name bythe wa
Em hates peas: *by the way
LzyBrunette: really?
Em hates peas: yeah
LzyBrunette: if joel owned a studio, what would he call it?
Em hates peas: pimp daddy studies
Em hates peas: no im joking
Em hates peas: *studios
LzyBrunette: haha
LzyBrunette: big daddy?
Em hates peas: Lol...um i don't know
LzyBrunette: he is a daddy
LzyBrunette: ha
Em hates peas: true true
Em hates peas: actually yeah
Em hates peas: go with that
LzyBrunette: it makes me laugh too hard to say
Em hates peas: lol
LzyBrunette: what about Big Papa
Em hates peas: that sounds better
LzyBrunette: "I claim their asses in the name of Madden!" Benji comments and joins his
brother in indistinguishable laughs.
I sit with Benji and Joel in a mixing room at Big Papa Studios, owned by Joel, as he and Benj go
over the final mixes for Calling Card's debut. They're polite and articulate and smile and nod
when complimented. They also humbly complain about the price of fruit, not what you expect
from millionaires.
Benji and Joel Madden gained poularity with their band throught the late 90s and early 21st
century with hits like "Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous" and "Predictable"
Em hates peas: Ooh i like that, how you mentioned predictible
Em hates peas: and fruit lol
LzyBrunette: i was gonna say something about kids, but i couldn't think of anything
Em hates peas: i think it's really good
LzyBrunette: the next part reminds me of behind the music
Em hates peas: behind the music?
LzyBrunette: you've never heard of it?
LzyBrunette: from vh1
Em hates peas: it sounds familiar
LzyBrunette: they do documentaries on bands
Em hates peas: Oh okay
LzyBrunette: go behind the scenes...usually old bands
LzyBrunette: that have already broken up
Em hates peas: ooh i see
LzyBrunette: Benji and Joel Madden gained poularity with their band throught the late 90s
and early 21st century with hits like "Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous" and "Predictable".
Their final record with GC, 13's "Heaven Help Me," sold a respectable three and a half million
and earned them their one and only grammy. GC ended on a high note, but those once mohawked
and liberty spiked double visions haven't left our lives completely.
Em hates peas: Oooh that's good.
LzyBrunette: is heaven help me alright?
Em hates peas: yes
LzyBrunette: it doesn't sound sappy?
Em hates peas: No
Em hates peas: i think it's fine
LzyBrunette: brb
Em hates peas: ok
LzyBrunette: ok
LzyBrunette: i needed a cookie
Em hates peas: lol
Em hates peas: im really tired im gonna have to go
LzyBrunette: oh ok
Em hates peas: sorry
LzyBrunette: it's ok
Em hates peas: do you have any more article for me to read ?
LzyBrunette: yeah just a sec
Em hates peas: k
LzyBrunette: Benji and Joel started DC Flag records back in 2004, starting with just 2
bands. Lola Ray and Hazen St. (who Benji reminds us is on tour now in support of their new
record, that's in stores no. "I think you should buy it.") their repetoire has grown
to…"Fif-Sixteen? I think it's sixteen bands." Joel nods. DC flag has grown as one of the
bigger independent labels.
"At first we were more like figure heads," Joel admits. "but as the band got less busy, we
realized we barely knew these bands we'd signed." So they put in a little more of their time
(not easy for the fathers of a total of 6 kids).
Em hates peas: It's really good :-)
LzyBrunette: Spent a little extra time picking and choosing artists to mold and mature.
Including Calling Card.
Em hates peas: goodo
LzyBrunette: thanks
Em hates peas: I will talk to you soon
LzyBrunette: ok
LzyBrunette: night
