((WAY TO JUST IGNORE MY POST. I DON'T NEED Y'ALL. NO SIR.))
"It was a nightmare." Anisa wailed, followed by a massive bite of one of the cookies she'd salvaged in the Dixon's kitchen cupboards.
"What happened?!" Juniper pleaded, taking a double-chocolate cookie for herself. Anisa, Juniper, and Anisa were seated around the Dixon's kitchen table, a plethora of food was scattered about it. Cookies, cheese crackers, chips, pretzels, and gummy bears, to name a few. The sister's had noticed the lack of enthusiasm from Anisa the minute she'd walked into the lobby that morning. She'd been gone meeting James's parents for an entire week, and was so sure everything was going to be perfect.
"Wait..." Anisa's eyes scanned the room quickly. "Where are your parents?! I thought they were killing all of your fun and peeing on your hopes and dreams."
Juniper and Violet exchanged glances. "It took awhile, but they finally got the hint. They left just after you did, actually."
"Wow! Okay, so, what else don't I know?"
Juniper took a moment to reflect on the past week. Her tongue slipped between her teeth and out her lips as she thought with a furrowed brow. Violet stared at her brain-dead sister blankly. She knew this could take awhile. She quickly grew impatient and began;
"Bitters tried a new diet plan and failed; Zac Efron was here for ,like, 2 days which made the Jennifers go into full out b*tch mode; Katie tried to sneak into an R rated movie but Kendall and I caught her; Juniper laughed so hard she peed her pants on Wednesday; I felt moody and cried; Logan cried, too; and then guitar dude tried to float on his guitar like a raft in the pool, destroyed his guitar, and cried. Kendall fainted once or twice in there, too. Oh, and Carlos asked Addison out."
"Who's Addison? Is that the new girl who looks like a power puff girl?"
Juniper laughed. "She does look like a power puff girl..."
"ANYWAY." Violet shouted. "Tell us why you have sad feels today."
Anisa rubbed her palms together and sighed. "Well... On the first day, I met his mom, Brooke, and she looks just like him. It's super creepy, like, I know it's his mom but she's a woman. She was... Nice. But she was kind of crazy and would talk about all these things she didn't like about me quite loudly to James when I was far enough away from her. But I could always hear her. She said that I was too pale and I wasn't pretty enough for her "Jamie". She wanted to hear me sing and then told me I was "God awful" and needed lessons. Right to my face. "She owns some cosmetics company, too. So she was always on the phone or at a computer. She also had a little terrier that was Satan in dog form. Freaking dog peed on my suitcase. I stayed in a guest bedroom which was actually really nice, so that was good. Oh, and James showed me his old bedroom, it was so cute. He had posters of Nicole Scherzinger everywhere, I hated those. She's such a slut, amIright?" The girls all nodded in agreement at this. "Anyway, his room. It was navy blue and his bed sheets had little guitars and music notes all over it. It was precious!" Anisa smiled to herself. "So we stayed there for awhile and it was pretty tense. James apologized to me about her every night and it was so sweet. I'm still a little upset she didn't like me, though. He said it wasn't as bad as it could have been and he was sure she really did like me. She's just really hard to impress. "Then on Thursday, we went to his dad's. His dad looked like Elvis, but he bleached his hair and wore leather vests with acid washed jeans. He looked like super bachelor, or something. His house was modern looking, he had a lot of big t.v.s and a pool table and a hot tub, but it wasn't very well kept. His house, I mean. It was a little messy and the fridge was just packed with all kinds of beer. He didn't try to talk to me an awful lot. Just asked me a few questions at dinner on the first night. That was actually the only time we ate dinner with him... He just seemed kind of lonely, really. Probably still upset about his divorce. But, Mr. Diamond was really laid back and let us do whatever. I got to share the bed with James, even. That's how careless his dad was."
"Oooh!" Violet blurted. "How was that?"
Anisa blushed. "That is a story for another time..."
Violet grinned, Juniper was the one blushing now.
"Soooo?" Violet suggested.
"So what?" Anisa played stupid, anything to stall this conversation, please.
"Did you two..?"
Anisa raised her eyebrows at the floor. Violet gasped.
"Did you really?" Violet was leaned very far over the table. Anisa thought she was going to climb right on top of it. She averted her eyes.
"OH MY GOSH." Violet's jaw fell to the tabletop.
Juniper's hands were over her ears. "I. CAN'T HEAR. YOU." She cried desperately.
"TELL ME!" Violet pleaded. Her torso was spread across the table now, the food circled around her like a chalk outline of a corpse at a crime scene.
"We didn't 'do it'. We just got really, really close." Anisa said each word quietly, she didn't want to accept it yet.
"Nisa ain't so innocent, is she?" Violet teased. "Dang girl, give me details!"
Anisa shook her head. "I'd rather not. It's kind of private, don't you think?"
"Hey, I would have told you about Kendall and I."
"WE DON'T WANT TO KNOW!" Juniper squealed, momentarily releasing her hands from her ears.
"True that." Anisa mumbled.
Juniper hid her smirk behind a shaky hand. She slid back into her chair, never taking her eyes off the girl sitting across from her, Anisa, who squirmed nervously in her seat.
"Okay," Violet began.
"No." Anisa spat.
"You don't even know what I was going to say!"
"I can guess!"
"No, you can't, so shut up and let me finish. On a scale of one to ten," she continued, using many-a hand gesture. "Ten being all-the-way, shall we say, and one being making-out with clothing on, what would you rate this encounter?"
Anisa held her green eyes shut tight. Why did she had to let this slip? It just could have been the worst part of the week. She always told herself she'd never giver herself away when she was young, and that she would wait. And now, not only was she ashamed she'd almost done it, she was telling someone. She didn't want to. More than anything. She wanted to take it back.
"Six." She said straight-faced.
Violet revealed her wicked smile to the audience. "One more question, how much cloth was on your bodies?"
Her eyes were still closed. She couldn't stop seeing that moment. It was horrible. His goose-bump spotted torso entangled in an old set of race-car themed bed sheets, her's was right in there with it. They were freezing, even under the sheets, even pressed together. It was cold. Everything about the memory was cold. She could hardly even think of how it came about. It was messy and wasn't what she wanted. They'd been out on a walk around town and didn't get back until midnight. Mr. Diamond was asleep in his leather recliner when the two had returned from their tour. James had gone to take a shower while Anisa changed into her pajamas in his room. He'd come in, his hair already half-dried, and sat on the bed beside her. They didn't talk much, but suddenly, they were just...
Her eyes flew open. "I had my bra on and some pajama shorts. He was just in boxers. Okay Juniper, we're done."
The youngest girl sighed and let her arms fall to her sides.
"Thank goodness. Go back to the vacation story."
Anisa trailed back to it in her head. "Right, um, his dad had a dog. It was a lab, his name was Sam. James and I walked the dog every day and he'd show me all these places he used to hang out when he lived there. He showed me Kendall, Carlos, and Logan's houses. I took pictures and I can show them to you later!"
"Yes, please!" Juniper giggled.

((So FINALLY finishing my last post, I just didn't feel like adding on to that post anymore. So, update! It's basically the Big Time Fever episode, they're all just going cray for different reasons. Where I left off: Logan is hallucinating, he will talk to Guitar Dude now))
"Dude, I could hear you screaming from the sixth floor, you need to like, chill." Guitar dude told a very distressed Logan.
"WHO CARES! MY LIFE IS OVER!" Logan cried out in a scratchy voice.
"K dude, we need to fix this. Like, for me, music is like, super relaxing. Like this- LOGAN, YOU GOIN' CRAZY! JUST DON'T GO GETTING, LIKE, LAZY!" Guitar Dude sang out, strumming a tune on his guitar.
"Here." The long haired boy held out a pair of bongos, and looked at him expectantly. "Just try it."
Logan reached out to hit the bongos away, but when his hand connected with the drum something stopped him. He tapped the top of the drums again, and again, he's eyes grew wide. He took the small drums from Guitar Dude and hit them in a very strange rhythmic pattern.
"Like, chill..." Logan whispered to himself.
"You got man! Lets go jam! Hey... YOU GOT IT MAN! LET US GO JAM! Haha, nice!" Guitar Dude said, a lopsided grin on his face. Logan mirrored his expression as he followed his friend down to the pool deck, continuously tapping on his new bongos. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Oh no, Gustavo, it's happening!" Kelly yelled, gripping her boss's shirt tightly in her hands.
"Kelly, calm down, we can handle this!" Gustavo bellowed even louder, removing her fists from his white velvet track jacket.
"I just don't understand! They were fine yesterday, and now, this!" Kendall said, throwing his hands up, "Since James came back from Minnesota he thinks he has to be the 'big man' in California to get away from his small town roots. Carlos finally asked a girl out on a date and now he thinks he's the world's greatest ladies man and started hanging out with the Jennifer's. Logan thought that James was flirting with Juniper and he went psycho, and now he won't stop professing he love to her with his stupid bongos!"
"Alright, we need to split up!" ((You guys know what happens next. Gustavo is orange, Kelly is broken, Kendall looks sad)) "Yeah, we can't handle this..." Kelly said dejectedly. ((Wait, it's just home-sickness! (except James was just home, it doesn't matter, he's stupid) Let's make some snow to make it like Minnesota, woo-hoo!))
"Haha!" James jumped up from his orange snow angel and began pelting Kendall with snowballs.
"This is silk!" Carlos screamed at Gustavo, "ARGHHH!" Carlos launched himself at the large man and laughed as he pushed snow into his face.
"Hey! Hey! Will you stop that!" Logan called out, suddenly his bongos slipped from his hands and broke in two. "Oh, you guys are gonna get it!" Logan chased after Carlos with snow balls in hand.
"Wait!" Logan stopped dead in his tracks. His eyes lit up as he remembered something.
"What?!" Carlos asked him impatiently.
"I completely forgot, it's Juniper's birthday! That's why she was so upset earlier today, because there's no snow! I remember, she told me when we were still together. Every year on her birthday she would have a big neighborhood snow ball fight with all her friends." Logan told them, feeling like an idiot.
"That's so sad... she can't do that here, poor June." Carlos said, frowning. Kendall threw a snow ball in his face.
"Hello, Carlos! Look around!" Kendall said, throwing his arms up.
"Well," James began, "what are you waiting for? Go get her!"
"I-I can't...I couldn't, she-she w-w-wouldn't-" Logan stumbled over his words.
"GO!" They shouted at him. ----------------------------------------------------------- "What?" Juniper asked, irritated. She wasn't really happy to open her door his face.
"Come to the park with me. Please." Logan asked her, eyebrows raised.
"No."
"Please." He clasped his hands together, begging.
"No."
"Please!"
"NO!"
"Too bad!" Logan reached into the apartment and grabbed Juniper by the wrists. He tugged her down the hallway, into the elevator, and through the lobby before she got loose.
"No you don't!" Logan yelled out and grabbed her waist, picking her up off the ground. "Trust me, you have to see this!"
"Let go of me you oaf!" Juniper yelled, beating her fists against his back.
"I'll let you down, just close your eyes, I swear you won't regret it!" Logan pleaded with her.
"Fine." She grumbled. He set her down right outside the wide ring of snow in the Palm Woods Park. He made sure her eyes were closed and backed up into the snow, very slowly. Juniper let out a squeal as something cold stung her cheek.
"Logan!" She shrieked, her eyes still closed. She took a step forward and felt the ground crunch beneath her feet.
"Logan..." she breathed, "I can't believe this, come here!" Juniper held her arms wide for him as he approached. Logan bent down to hug her and got a handful of snow shoved in his face.
"Take that!" Juniper laughed, ducking under him and running away. Logan wiped the snow off his face and smiled. He shook his head in disbelief, I made her laugh... he smiled to himself once more before chasing after her.
"You get back here!" Logan called to Juniper, just missing her head with a snowball.

*** 5 months later*** ((LOL, WE R STOOPD))
((WHAT YOU MISSED ON THE SPRING HIATUS OF THE ROLEPLAY)) It was the middle of May, and Violet was hanging out with Carlos and Juniper a lot lately thanks to her change in relationship status. She and Kendall had broken up in early April. It was supposedly a mutual decision, but that didn't mean Violet wasn't torn up about it. Ever since they arrived in L.A., she had had Kendall to rely on, but she didn't know what to do without him now. She had thrown herself into school and had the highest grades she'd ever had, and had a steady job playing various sound effects for movies on her viola, but she didn't know why she had such a void inside her.
Violet walked across the warm cement outlining the famous Palm Woods pool, and she felt a twist in her stomach as she saw what she had been avoiding for the past month.
Kendall had taken a liking to the new girl, Jo, and she had taken a liking to him, too. They currently sat on the edge of the pool with their feet dangling. Kendall was playing a tune on the acoustic guitar that sat in his lap, and they were looking at each other like puppies. That's a stupid place to play a guitar, Violet thought to herself as she stared at them with her eyes starting to well up.
As if on queue, Kendall looked up from his instrument and locked eyes with Violet. She blushed and quickly looked away. She shook her head and thought, I have got to get him out of my head... Where is Carlos, I'm supposed to be helping him study for algebra.
~~~~
She entered BTR's apartment, and found Carlos sitting on the couch with a tray full of corndogs on his lap, and a few in his mouth. He looked up and greeted her with a breaded smile. She looked away, thoroughly disgusted, and asked if he was ready to go.
"Yeah, but can we stay here to study?"
"Uhm... I'd rather not." Violet turned her head to watch the door, hoping no one she didn't want to see would come through.
Carlos picked up on her eagerness to get out and said, "It's better at your place anyways. Quieter."
Violet smiled genuinely at him. "Thanks"
She turned to go out the door, but felt a pain in the abdomen that caused her to collapse. She clutched her midsection as Carlos came running to the rescue. "Violet, are you okay?"
"I'm fine," she panted "I've been having really bad stomach aches lately".
Carlos held out a hand to her and tried to pull her from her fetal position, but that only made a few very pained noises come out of her. Carlos didn't know what to do, and he definitely misread the situation.
"Violet, you have to get up! I have to take you to the hospital! You're in labor!" Carlos panicked.
Violet stopped whimpering and looked him square in the face. "What?!"
"The baby's back and it's coming! We gotta go!"
"NO! That is wrong, do you know how humans work?!" She shrieked. He picked her up anyway and carried her down the hall and called an ambulance.
~~~~
"It turns out it was just your appendix, Violet. They ruptured, but we took care of it and you're all clear to go back home now." The doctor gave her a reassuring pat on the shoulder. She thanked him and got out of the bed, being careful not to split the stitches on her side.
She made her way to the front doors, where Dominic was waiting to pick her up, and she ran into a rock of a person.
"I'm so sorry!" She exclaimed to the man she'd just run into. She looked up and saw someone very familiar, "hey, didn't you date my sister Juniper for like 2 seconds?"
"The name rings a bell, but I think I would've remembered if she had a hot sister. I'm Jett, and you are?"
"Violet," she answered, "not to be rude, but why are you here?"
He explained that he was training for a role. He was going to be playing a male nurse, or something. He gave her some cheesy pick-up line, and ended up writing his number on a blank prescription. She was desperate for something new, so she ate up his charm and agreed to call him later and set up a date.
Just what I was looking for, she thought as she went out the sliding glass doors.

((So I tweaked the whole tutor thing from the beginning (page three or so) I thought it was really stupid for Logan to ask her for help because he's a freaking genius and the whole only really liking one subject was lame and I'm trying to make her less like me and trying to develop her character a little more and decided that she hates school and sucks at everything. Get ready for a plot twist!))
"Augh! I can't do this, I'm done!" Juniper yelled, throwing down her chemistry book. The 900 pages of information slammed down on top of half a notebook's worth of incorrect calculations and sloppy drawings of molecules. Juniper leaped from the hunters-orange couch and marched herself into the kitchen. After 10 thoughtful seconds of staring into the depths of the Knight's fridge; she yanked out the carton of milk and slugged down a mouthful without using a glass.
"Mmm... Hey, hey, hey!" Logan began, rushing over the counter. Drinking straight from the carton wasn't that bad. Well, it wasn't that bad if you weren't sharing your back wash with seven other people. When he tried to offer her a glass she just glared at him and took another, long, drink.
"Huh, fine. Give it here." Logan gave in, he took the carton and slurped some down before handing it back to her.
"You know you're going to have to keep working though. We have ten days of school left Juniper! Exams are a big deal." Logan said, attempting to be serious.
"Exactly! I should be able to stop working! I mean, I worked my butt off, why do I have to work harder when the end is so close! I'm finally passing all my classes... Thanks to you." She smiled at him from behind their contaminated beverage, then took another swig.
"You know, I've been thinking-"
"About what?!" Juniper shouted accusingly. She was more than stressed out and swiftly apologized for snapping at him like that.
"I just, I've been thinking-" he carefully began again, " You just have so much trouble with your work. All your work, in every single subject... maybe it's not the work, maybe it's you."
"What is THAT supposed to mean exactly?!" Juniper shot at him. Logan brought his hand over his eyes and breathed in deeply, how was how supposed to explain this to her without making her even more upset than she already was?
"I don't mean that you're crazy or that you're just plain stupid," Logan paused, seeing her eyes light up again in anger. He met her gaze and put his hand over her's, reassuring her, then continued, "I mean that there might be a problem that not everyone has. I was thinking, that you might have dyslexia."
Immediately, all Juniper could think of was one of Anisa's jokes, so of course that was the first thing to fly out of her mouth. "I don't have lysdexia!" she screamed at Logan.
Juniper put her head in her hands and gripped her hair tightly. I can't actually have it can I? It's just the stupid thing that kids get on lame sitcoms when they run out of ideas for the show...
"I can't... I can't, I can't, I can't... Ican'tIcan'tIcan'tIcan'tIcan'tIcan'tIcan'tIcan'tIcan'tIcan'tIcan'tIcan'tIcan'tIcan'tIcan'tIcan'tIcan'tIcan'tIcan'tIcan'tIcan'tIcan'tIcan'tIcan'tIcan'tIcan'tIcan'tIcan'tIcan'tIcan'tIcan'tIcan'tIcan'tIcan'tIcan'tIcan'tIcan'tIcan'tIcan'tIcan'tIcan'tIcan'tIcan'tIcan'tIcan'tIcan'tIcan'tIcan'tIcan'tIcan'tIcan'tIcan'tIcan'tIcan'tIcan'tIcan'tIcan'tIcan'tIcan'tIcan'tIcan'tIcan'tIcan'tIcan'tIcan'tIcan'tIcan'tIcan't!"
"June, you have to think about it! You might!" Logan told her, reaching for her hand again. Juniper was too quick though, she jumped from her position behind the counter and began pacing back and forth in the Knight's living room.
"How do you think I read scripts for auditions?!" she speed on without letting him answer, "We used to read together all the time!" she continued, referring to to their rendezvous' in the park when they were still together.
"And you stumbled over every other word!" Logan added. "Here, I'll make some flash cards and you tell me what they say as fast as you can." He suggested, then ran to get some of his handy-dandy three by fives.
"Woo-hoo... because those always work..." Juniper grumbled to herself. She smirked when she remembered the pile of grammar flash cards she had torn up yesterday, who needs semi-colons when you can have confetti?
"Ready?" Logan asked her after putting the finishing touches on his stack of note cards with a thick black sharpie. She nodded her head limply, and turned her attention to the cards waiting in his hands.
"B, A, T, Q, S, U, 12, 5, 7, 34, 105, cat, apple, sock, carrot, blue." Juniper finished and breathed through her nose. The look on Logan's face wasn't at all reassuring. He laid each card out side by side in front of her and began to point to them individually.
"Z, E, F, O, R, V, 13, 8, 3, 57, 704, sat, ascot, sour, camel, bread."
Juniper saw it clearly, now. The first time that's just what they looked like to her. The words squirmed and wriggled before her eyes, they looked like one number one time and then a different letter the next second. It was only when Logan put each one into perspective that they finally decided to buckle themselves into place.
Logan looked at her after explaining the last card and made a decision. He slid the half empty milk carton across the counter to her.
"Come on, we have to finish that off before we take you to the doctor."

"With all the test results... yes, it looks like you have a mild case of dyslexia." Dr. (that one on the show) told Juniper after glancing at a large stack of papers in his hands.
Juniper sucked in a big breath of air and then let out an, "AWESOME."
"I'm just curious, the majority of people who have this particular... uhh... disorder, find out very early on. Why weren't you tested when you were younger?" the doctor asked, setting down the papers and his pen.
"I guess since it's just mild, I didn't seem dyslexic, just stupid! I don't know... I passed all my classes, barely, I guess I just didn't care all that much." Juniper attempted to explain.
"Hey, we'll get through this! I still think you're brilliant." Logan told her, crouching down to get at her level.
"Thanks," Juniper halfheartedly told Logan and the doctor, "let's go, the bus will be here soon." Juniper got up form her chair and swept past both of them, making a bee-line for the door.
"Hey!" Logan yelled after her, trying to catch up. She looked up at him and it was obvious that she didn't want to talk about what just happened. "Umm, so how are you going to explain the doctor's visit to your siblings?" Logan asked, avoiding the subject.
"Please, I can fake a cold, I'll be fine." Juniper said while pushing on revolving door. "Why won't this stupid thing move?!"
"June," Logan said, pointing to a sign on the door that read 'revolving door broken, please use side door' Juniper furrowed her brow, taking a moment to read it. Her head fell and her hands dropped from the door. She just stood there for a moment before slowing moving toward the side exit.
The two of them stood on the sidewalk in silence, just a few feet a way from the bus stop sign.
"Juni," Logan started, trying to fill the empty air. Juniper's eyes lit up and she turned on him. She grabbed the front of his jacket and clenched her teeth.
"This is all your fault!" She practically screamed, "If it wasn't for you, if it wasn't for you..." She trailed off, bouncing up and down on the balls of her feet, not being able to meet his gaze.
"If it wasn't for you I'd be completely lost here!" Juniper finished, throwing her head onto his chest, nuzzling into his shirt. He quickly put his arms around her, hugging the small girl tightly.
"Oh, you have no idea." Logan laughed. ---------------------------------------------------------- Logan ushered Juniper off the bus ahead of him, then followed closely behind.
"I was just wondering, we could just keep this between us, please?" Juniper asked, stopping outside the doors of the Palm Woods.
"Of course, it'll be our little secret." Logan said, putting an arm around her shoulders and pecking the top of her head. Juniper smiled and wrapped her own arm around his waist. They began walking towards the Palm Woods, looked at each other, and stopped dead. Their eye's grew and grew until each was about the size of a large dinner plate. Logan's hands flew up above his head and Juniper flew to the nearest palm tree, getting both arms and legs around it's trunk.
"WOAH."
"YEAH."
"WOAH!"
"YEAH!"
Juniper looked from Logan to the Palm Woods, then back to Logan, then back to the Palm Woods, back to Logan, back to the Palm Woods.
"WOW. I can't believe we're here!" Juniper yelled, then ran inside.
