Cerise

Hey guys, I'm back! Sadly there won't be an Update. I'm heading to Chicago tomorrow and coming back Friday, and today I just don't have the energy to write though. I've been doing a lot of research on Cancer for the Annie story though, so I have been working on it.

Wow, Jen, those Kate avs are beautiful. The last two are my favourite but they are all fantastic! And the blending is great on the sigs, and I love the simplicity of the backgrounds. Awesome work as always.

Hmm... good question, maccaz I'm not that great at maths... around that time I should expect though. And thanks Jessica Today is still a maybe. But a good maybe.

Okay, here's the deal. You may not like it, but tough. This fic is going on a 15 day hiatus starting tomorrow. Because... I'm going on holidays. Sorry if I've been banned from taking my laptop so I can't even write the bloody updates I'll try do a nice little chapter for you today but don't get your hopes up. Dawson's Creek is much much more tempting right now.

Then do

I love it, the writing was amazing. I don't have time for a long comment, but I just thought I'd say it. I absolutly floved it! I'll move it for you, btw, if you want

Oh, pretty! I love the fourth one best. Excellent work, Jen!

This av is great, the colouring is amazing. Mind if I save it?

Thanks, everyone The next chapter will be up Thursday at the latest if I don't get a chance to do so today or tomorrow evening. Edit: Scratch that, I can probably update tonight and tomorrow too.

Scary thought. The solitaire one freaks me out enough.

If a thread were to, hypothetically, explode, what exactly would happen anyway?

I don't think so... but would be funny if you tried to enter the thread and it came up with an error message. 'Sorry, the following error has occured - The thread you have tried to enter has overflowed. It will explode in 5... 4... 3... 2... 1...'

Or maybe we'll leave it till we hit 4000... that's a nice number Or keep going for the next few years and see if we can make it to 10000...

maybe it's time for a new thread... this one is seriously overloaded

I wrote one *link in my sig* and I'm about to start another one. Other than that I haven't seen any others around.

Happy birthday (both) Jason

Yep. And now I'll have you waiting a year for the sequel Jusst joking.

Don't worry. All will be revealed in part two. Which is coming soon, btw. I'm just off to fix the chapter index and then I'll start on it

^^ Jen, those are brilliant! I love the b/w on the second and the cropping on the third. And the colouring on all of them is stunning

Chapter Summaries, for your convenience. Chapter One Belle wakes up to find someone else beside her and can't remember what happened the night before until she sobers up a little. Tension already arises between her and Aden. Chapter Two It's the first day back at school after the Summer Holidays. Belle goes to find Aden and gets creeped out by his dad. Geoff is displeased at the thought of his secret crush walking so closely to the guy he hated the most. Lucas questions belle about her friendship with Aden but she isn't prepared to give him a truthful answer. Chapter Three Lucas welcomes Geoff to the real world after he reacts badly to Belle's words. Aden dissappears at school, but Belle knows where to find him, and he shares his feelings with her, leaving her admitting that he was right when he said they were more than just friends. Chapter Four Aden and Belle are late for class as a result of their heart-to-heart, and **** off the history teacher. Lucas is a bit temperamental and gets an earful from Aden, who gets scolded by Belle. Chapter Five Geoff gets upset at his sister using swear words, and is shocked when he hears that Belle disrespects the bible so much to mock it and skip school - even though she was joking. After lunch Science class commences and although Belle is on time, Aden, and surprisingly Geoff are not. The new science teacher tells them they will not be doing any experiments or theory. Then he reveals he is not actually the science teacher Mr. Jouls, and that they have a special assignment to do. Chapter Six Belle and Aden team up for the assignment and share an intimate moment at the stone circle. Quickly they move on to the meeting place. Chapter Seven Aden and Belle enter the warehouse warily. Melody and Geoff follow shortly, and they get locked in a confined space with a killer. Chapter Eight Aden realizes that the psycho has a gun and plans to kill one of them - unless they tell him everything about Jack Holden. They give him limited information only, but he seems pleased and tells him Jack owes him a lot of money. The cops barge in suddenly, capturing the psycho. Chapter Nine Everyone gives their statements to the police - or almost everyone. Geoff doesn't get a chance as he is told some terrible news. Chapter Ten Annie is feared dead, and Geoff has to identify the body - in Chicago, IL. Belle makes him a promise that they'd all go. Chapter Eleven After many setbacks, the four finally arrive in Chicago City. Geoff is mortified when they arrive at the mortuary, and can't believe his eyes when the blanket was lift off the body. Chapter Twelve Geoff feels terrible about the dead persons family. Suddenly hotel room arrangements change and Aden and Belle come close to kissing again right before the chapter ends. Chapter Thirteen The group return to school two days later. A fill-in-the-gaps chapter.

Oh, people still read it. And a word of advice anaya if you ever read a future fic from me never give up on anything I write, I've been known to come back to a fic after 8 months, so you know... I usually always finish them. Usually.
