*Niki sits on the dressed like a hooker again*

Niki:
It's been nine weeks now. Lucas is starting to go crazy with Brandi's friends in this apartment. I told her this wasn't a good idea; but she insisted. "He'll be fine.", she said. But he's not fine, is he?

*Shakes her head*

Niki:
They hate him here. Hate him because he's a guy. Most, most of them do. Yoko definitely hates him. Cindy, maybe. Momo, I'm not sure. Kate, I'm guess yes. No, actually I know that she is hostle towards him. Tina....

*Pause*

Niki:
Tina... Oh, Tina....

*Deep breath and throws back her head*

*Calms down*

Niki:
She doesn't hate him. But...

*Leans into the camera*

Niki:
I think she has a huge crush on him. I don't even think she's a real lesbian. She's either faking or bi. Lucas might have to be careful or she'll take to have her way with him.

*Frowns and sits back*

Niki:
Like that'll ever happen. He won't even take a second look at me.

*Forces herself to be calm*

Niki:
Either way, we have to get out of here. I don't know how much more Lucas can take of this. And Lexie being gone too. Ooo...

*Shakes her head*

*Cell phone rings*

Niki:
Excuse me.

*Answers her phone*

Niki:
Hello? Oh Jack, it's you! So we're still on tonight?

*Nicole sits on the living room couch*

Nicole:
Here I am, another month of pregnancy. I will be due in five weeks. I don't really hate Shawn anymore. Well, not that much.

*Shifts in her seat*

Nicole:
Anyway, I can't wait to get this thing out of me. Being pregnant sucks. I can't drink or smoke anymore. Oh, I can't wait to get my fix in five weeks!

*Weak squeal*

*Nicole becomes serious*

Nicole:
Never mind. I'm not getting sick anymore. Plus, there is an up-side to this. Everyone always showers me with attention. They are always giving me food and gifts. Well, the gifts are mostly for the baby, but still, it's all good.

*Smiles*

Nicole:
Maybe, there is something to this pregnancy thing after all. I don't want another kid, but you know...

*Pause as stomach grumbles*

*Chuckles*

Nicole:
I guess I'm hungry-- again. So, I'm going to shut off and go eat, take a piss, and take a bath. So, see ya.

*Nicole looks beyond the camera*

Nicole:
Mum! Is my bath ready?

Amber (Off-camera):
Just about dear.

Nicole:
Cheers!

*Emma lies back on his bed*

Emma:
Hey Tohma. Happy now? You have me in the most boring place on the planet! Is this your idea of a joke?!? There is nothing to do here! Nothing back school!

*Emma sighed*

Emma:
The people here are crap! No one wants to talk to me. The other girls won't talk to me. The teachers treat me like shite. Why the hell am I here?!?

*Emma strokes her stomach and looks down*

Emma:
This is all your fault! You arrive within me and now I'm here. Oh... Just... Why?!? Why?!?

*Slams her lap with her fists*

Emma:
Stupid! Just, stupid!

*She looked deep into the camera again*

Emma:
You could at least let me talk to Sugo-kun, Tohma!

*Sighs*

Emma:
I  wish you would let me talk to your cousin. I may have messed up, but I still love him and that counts for something, right?

*Knock on her bedroom door*

*Emma looks up*

Emma:
What?

Adminstator:
Phone call.

*Emma sighs*

Emma:
Fine.

*Turns back to the camera*

Emma:
I've got to go. Some who actually needs me is calling.

*Nick sits on his bed, smoking*

Nick:
I have a little problem. Not with Ace. Oh, she is a problem, but that's not really important. No, this problem traces all the way back to my great-granddad. He lost his hearing at twenty-six. Mum lost hers before she got married and had Effy and I. Now, I'm starting to go deaf.

*Pauses and puffs out some smoke*

Nick:
Don't feel sorry for me. It's actually good. I won't have to talk to anybody anymore and they won't talk to me.

*Grins, but then frowns*

Nick:
But then, Ace will want to talk to me. And pretty soon she'll beg me to see a doctor to have it fixed.

*Sighs as he flicks out his ashes*

Nick:
What is it with birds and losing their virginities? Just because a bloke sleeps with them does not mean they are looking for a relationship.

*Takes another puff*

Nick:
Birds have this weird idea in their heads that if a bloke take their virginity, they are the "one" for them.

*Shakes his head*

Nick:
So stupid. But, I degress.

*Flicks off more ashes from his cigarette*

Nick:
So, what am I going to do about Ace? Not tell her, just like everyone else, about my disability. Just like that. Oh, don't look at me like that! You know how I am, right? So don't act all shocked. It's just how I am.

*Snubs out his cigarette*

Okinawa.

*Shawn sits up against the wall kicthen wall with a guitar and smoking a blunt*

Shawn:
Hey Nicole. How are you and the baby? Okinawa is sweet! It's so hot that it can melt the metal on my pants. The clubs are wicked. The birds are fit. Just not as fit as you.

*Takes another puff of his blunt*

Shawn:
God, how many months has it been? Six? Seven? It feels like forever for me. I can't imagine how it feels for you.

*Chuckles*

*Shawn takes another puff of his blunt*

Shawn:
Can't say when I'm coming home yet. I have... oh, how do I put this? A little hang-up. It's nothing huge. Just a little bump. Once it gets smoothed over, we'll just have to see.

*There is a knock on his door*

*Shawn looks up*

Shawn:
Oh, I have some mates here.

*Turns back to the camera*

Shawn:
Got to go babes. Take care of that baby for me until I come back.

*Fujisaki sits on Emma's bed*

Fujisaki:
Where are you, Emma-chan? I came home that night on the festival and you were gone. Most of your things were gone as well. It's been eight weeks and I haven't heard from you. You haven't returned my calls or e-mails. Tell me what's going on! I have to know!

*Pause*

Fujisaki:
Listen, I'm not mad. I'm just worried about you. This isn't like you to up and disappear on me or anyone without warning. Is something wrong? I told Tohma about your disappearance and he just brushed it. Now, I'm really suspicious.

*Pause and fidget*

Fujisaki:
At least call me. I really do miss you. At least let me know that you're okay.

*Ando sits on his bed with puffed up cheeks*

Ando:
She's at it again. Kat's picked up another shithead boyfriend. This time his name is Blake. He's an American. I did some digging on his background.

*Pulls out some papers he had just printed out. Puts on some fake glasses*

Ando:
The guy is an ex-marine. Dishonorably discharged. Multiple arrests for drunk and disorderly conduct, DWIs, possession of illegal drugs, possession with intent to sell, assult, assult and battery, assult with a deadly weapon, criminal mischief, theft, agravited assult, and assulting an officer.

*Slams down the papers and takes off the glasses*

Ando:
Nice one, honey!

*Applause*

Ando:
I'm not the only one that sees this is a bad idea. Grandma, grandpa, and my uncles are trying to break them up. But will Kat listen? No!

*Flops back onto his bed*

Ando:
She doesn't care as long as the sex is so good. Slut!

Shawn:
Hey Nicole, how's it been in Tokyo? Life's good in Okinawa. I just had to get away from there. Between mum, the art club, and Cherry, I thought I was going to hang myself. But don't worry, I left a you a little something to remember me by. Too bad it'll arrive in the next nine months.

*Takes another puff*

Shawn:
Anyway, heard that Casper and Emma are gone. Best of luck to them. Shuich, how's your author boytoy? Hope it's all good. Simon getting better? The sooner, the better for us all. Hope everyone else is good. Don't know when I'll get back or if I will. 'Til then, peace!

Casper:
Hi Simon. I am so sorry that I did this. I needed to get away. It's not your fault. I'm having a hard time at the moment.

*Sniffles and swallows down her pain*

Casper:
Lynn married a bad man. He tried... He tried to...

*Tries to fight back her dry tears*

Casper:
This man tried to molest me when I was younger on the night dad died. Now, he's back again. Lynn married him and moved him into our house. He tried to molester me again. I tried to tell Lynn, but she won't believe me! He's got her under his spell! She's head over heels for that creep! I just couldn't take being in that house any longer. So I ran away to Nagasaki. Althrough, things are not really good here...

*Trembles a little bit*

Casper:
My  current situation isn't any better. My aunt is a greedy, fat bitch. And my cousin... she's stupid and ugly. I treated up one hell for another.

*Sighs*

Casper:
But, what can I do? I don't know when I'll come back to Tokyo. Maybe Lynn will divorce over the summer. I hope... *Whispers* I have strong doubt about this one. Until then... I'll be in Nagasaki for the summer. Don't think it has anything to do with you. It's just problems with me. I still love you, Si.

Peaches:
Hiya! My name is Ono Peaches and I am Ozawa Jin's girlfriend! Okay, my boyfriend's been acting depressed over these past few weeks. So, I paid him a visit to find out why. Turns out, his baby sister, Arisu, had ran away from home. Why? Jin had banned her from seeing her boyfriend, Sid Wilson. Such a tradegy to see young forbidden love.

*Sigh and dramatic type of faint*

Peaches:
Jin still can't get over Sid driving Arisu to attempt suicide because he broke her heart. That was last year. Just move on already. They are much better now, Jini! They will be already.

*Pause for a breath*

Peaches:
Anyway, Jin began to see his error and started making vid diaries to try and bring his baby sister home. Here, let me play one for you.

*Plays the disc*

Peaches:
Pretty desperate, huh? When those failed, Jin made nice with Sid for a moment and persuaded him to get her home. Turns out, Sid knew where the baby sister was all along. So now, Arisu is home, safe and sound! Yay! Now, that leaves Jin with more important things to worry about, like me! Speaking of which...

*Turns to the doorway as she stands up*

Peaches:
Oh, Jini! Momma Peaches needs love!
