*I'm SO sorry it took me so long to udpate! can you ever forgive me? Anyway, here it is*
The next morning I had to think about telling them about my dancing or not. I decided I would go for a run. Mostly because I was never aloud to run at home. (I wouldn’t call running around the back yard a few times a ‘run’) When I stepped out of the bus, Ryan was already there stretching. After the show they put, I was sure they’d all sleep till twelve. Not Ryan though.
“Some sure woke up early this morning. Not planning on running away, are we?” he asked, with is ‘bad boy’ smirk playing on his lips.
“No,” I said flatly pushing him away and stretching also. “I’m going for a run.”
“Ah I see, well, I’m going for a run too. Mind if join you?” He asked, walking over towards me.
“I guess you could, I mean I can’t stop you,” I sad, starting to jog up the street. He easily caught up to me. Looking at him with my peripheral vision. He sure looked different not all dressed up. His black Nike shorts and his ‘tight’ fitting navy blue t-shirt. He looked like a regular guy, not a singing star.
After running for a good 45 minutes, we decided to take a rest at a near by park.
“So, are ye an only child then?” he asked. Did he have to ask this question. This is the main reason why my parents are so protective of me now.
“Well, I am,” I started, then added. “since a few years ago.”
“What does that mean?” He asked, looking a bit concerned.
“I had a brother. When we were walking to the park he got hit by a car.” I finished, tears stinging my eyes. I’m not going to cry I never cried before and I’m not going to cry now.
“I’m so sorry. I guess that explains why you can’t go anywhere.” He said, putting a comforting arm around me.
“It’s ok. That was six years ago, I’m over it now,” I said letting out a shaky breath.
“You never get over someone’s death. Especially if it’s someone close to you. You just have to let your emotions out. It helps,” he said, noticing my efforts not to cry.
“I didn’t cry when it happened, and I’m not going to cry now. Like I said, I’m over it,” I finished, swiftly wiping the tears that escaped my eyes.
“Crying helps. You should try it, just let yourself go,” he said, pulling me into a hug. I just burst into tears. Why now? What he said made sense, but I didn’t want to cry.
“It’s ok, your gonna be alright,” He said, soothingly. Running his through my hair.
“I-it was m-my fault. I begged him to go to t-the park that day!” I cried into his shoulder, every tear sinking into his clothes now wet with tears.
“Shh, nothings your fault. He was a good brother to take you, it wasn’t your fault,” he soothed. I cried for about ten more minutes before pulling away from him.
“Better now?” he asked. I wiped the remaining tears out of my eyes.
“Yes, thank you. I needed that.” I said, gratefully hugging him.
“No problem. Let’s get back, we’ll grab some donuts on the way back before we head over to Six Flags!” He said, getting up and putting his arm around me as we headed for donuts.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
“Hey, it’s about time you guys came back. We were going to send out a search party!” Keith said, coming out to tease us. “Damian though you went to elope with his girl.”
At the last part I blushed like crazy. I wasn’t Damian’s girl.
“Shut it, Keith!” Damian yelled, coming out the bus. Cheeks just as red as mine were.
“Hey, look! They got donuts!” Neil cried, running out of the bus. He grabbed the box and ran in, Keith at his heels. That got us out of that awkward situation.
“Come on, we better hurry before they eat them all,” Damian said, to me and Ryan and dragged me to the bus. This was so gonna be a crazy day. Keith and Damian on sugar an amusement park, this was not going to be good.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ “Are we there yet?” Keith moaned what it seemed like the hundredth time.
“No, Keith, not for another 45 minutes at least,” George said, his patience running out now.
“Why don’t we play a game?” I suggested, only to get Keith off everyone’s nerves.
“Yes, what should we play?” Keith asked.
“How about eye spy?” I suggested again. They all agreed and Ryan started.
“Eye spy something bleach blond,” he said, smirking.
“I know, I know!” Damian shouted, and couldn’t laughing. After he stopped he said,
“Keith’s hair!” We all laughed, well, everyone but Keith that is.
“We were so just kidding, Keith!” I said, gasping for air. After that we played something else. And finally, we were there. We all piled out of the van.
“So, what should we do first?” Ryan asked.
“RIDES!” Emmet and Damian shouted at the same time and took of running dragging me with them.
“Ryan, you better keep an eye on them,” George said, the others didn’t want to run to keep up with us.
“Right,” he said and took off after us.
We stopped at this huge roller coaster. It was called the American Eagle, “guys, I think I’ll skip out on this one. I’m not very fond of these kinds of rides,” I said nervously.
“Oh come on! It’ll be great!” Damian said, as they dragged me to it. This was not going to be good.
We were seated on the ride. I was between both of them, because I was scared of falling out the side.
“I am pumped!” Damian said, quite loudly. I just covered my eyes.
“Its going to be fun, don’t worry,” Emmet whispered in my ear. It was comforting. Sort of. I HATED roller coasters.
It started, I hate when it goes so slow and then just goes so fast.
I screamed the whole ride, but I had a great time! Never thought I’d like riding one of those things.
“So, how’d ya like it?” Damian asked as we walked towards the others.
“It was AWESOME!” I said, laughing.
“Aren’t you glad we made you go?” Emmet asked, nudging me.
“Yeah, I guess I am.” I said, still laughing thinking about how loud Emmet, Damian and I screamed. We must have been the loudest on the ride.
“I think you guys could be heard screaming across the whole amusement park!” Ryan said, coming up to us.
“Hey, was that you guys screaming?” Keith asked, as they finally caught up. We all just started laughing and made our way to the swings. I was a little nervous after watching all the other people go on them, but once I was up there it was amazing.
The rest of the day was spent on rides. Eating cotton candy and stuff like that. So much fun. By the time we got back it was after midnight. I contemplated on telling them about my dancing now, or tomorrow morning. My time was almost up. I had to make my decision.
“Damian, I have to talk to you guys tomorrow morning,” I said. “Nuts, I wanted to tell them tonight.” I thought to myself.
“Ok, is something wrong?” He asked, furrowing his brow in concern.
“No, it’s all good. Just need to talk to you all,” I yawned, “I’m so tired. Good night, and thanks again,” I called out to everyone before Damian could inquire further. I just hoped they’d let me.

Ok, sorry for the wait, but I finally got it!!! Hope you like it! (and don't be mad at me Meg.. ) Enjoy! I spent the next morning thinking about how I should tell Sharon and the others about my dancing. They had interviews all morning, so I had aplenty of time to think. The worst She could say was no, so I should just tell them, but why was I so nervous? I was pacing around outside the buses thinking about what to say and how to start saying when I heard someone talking to me. Well, at least I thought they were talking to me. It was definitely not one of the guys he didn’t have an accent. “Hey, you! Come over here!” A kid, only a bit older than Damian yelled. I took one look at him and I was not going to get within ten feet of him if I could help it. His baggy jeans and muscle shirt. And his greasy longish black hair. His companions didn’t look much different either. I decided the best thing to do was just walk right back to the buses and ignore them. I turned on my heel and started waking away when I heard him call out again, “I was talking to you, so get over here!” I just kept on walking hoping they would leave me alone, but that wasn’t the case. They ran over to where I was and surrounded me. I was then grabbed by the shoulders and roughly turned around to face the person. He then backed me up against one of the buses. I was in hot water now. “I was talking to you. Why didn’t you answer me?” He growled out at me. I turned my head the other way and hoped the guys would show up soon. He threw me to the ground and I hit my head. I tried to get up, but he had his foot on my chest holding me down. “I don’t have any money! Leave me alone!” I yelled, hoping someone would hear me. “I don’t want your money, chick! I want you to hang out with me and my friends. And I won’t take no for an answer!” He yelled back, no one seemed to hear. I was doomed. He let me up and pulled me over to his side. I struggled, but it wasn’t working. He just held on tighter as we got farther away from the buses. “Let me go!” I screamed, another attempt to free myself from his vice grip he had around my waist. “Come on, we’re just gonna have a little fun!” He said, still dragging me across the parking lot. I screamed again, he just put his hand over my mouth and laughed. Tears started welling in my eyes. Would I ever see the guys again? Would they try to find me? All these horrible thoughts kept playing in my mind when the guy holding me was ripped from my side. I fell to the ground as the others took off running. I ran too, but I was grabbed again. “Kate, it’s ok it’s me Keith!” It was Keith. I turned around and buried my face into his shirt. He turned me around and asked, “Are you okay?” “I think so, just a little scared. Where are the others?” I asked. “They stopped at a place for food on the way back and I was supposed to come and get you. Looks like I came just in time, huh?” He said, I nodded and walked away with him. “I thought I was never going to see you guys again!” I choked out, holding back tears that were forming in my eyes. “If anything had happened we would have searched until we found you!” He replied reassuringly. And then added, “Now why don’t you change out of those dirty clothes and we’ll meet the others.” “Ok,” I said, and looked out the window. It looked like rain. He followed my gaze and said, “don’t worry, it’s not supposed to rain. It’s just getting cloudy.” I nodded and went to change. I got changed and got into the car and drove with Keith. He said it was about ten minutes to get there. I knew me and Keith, even though we always seemed to be bickering about one thing or another, were close. I thought I would tell him first and see what he though. “Keith, I need your advice on something,” I started. He urged me to go on and I continued, “I know you have a show tomorrow night and Hailey hurt her ankle. I can dance. I’ve danced for years and I don’t know if I should tell Sharon or not. What I mean is, I don’t know how she’ll react, what do you think?” “Well, I think it would be an awesome idea and I definitely think you should tell her. She’s been tearing her hair trying to figure something out!” He exclaimed excitedly. “Ok, I’ll spill the beans over lunch then!” I said. ~*~*~*~*~ At the Restaurant ~*~*~*~*~ “Hey, what took you guys so long?” Damian asked, coming up to me and Keith. “Ah, just a little trouble with some local kids looking for a beautiful girl to hang with,” Keith said, shrugging his shoulders. “What happened?” Damian asked, wanting an answer. “Not now, Damian!” Keith said, pushing me inside by my shoulders. He would just have to wait until later to know what happened. After getting seated and ordering our food I was going to tell Sharon. But Keith decided I needed a little help and said, “Sharon, Kate wants to tell you something really important about the show tomorrow night!” “I hope it’s good news, because I don’t have a back up for Hailey. She couldn’t make at the last minute!” Sharon said, putting her face in her hands. Keith elbowed me I shot him a glare and then started, “Sharon, I’ve been dancing for a long time. And I thought, well if you needed a new dancer I could probably do it. If you want me?” I said, scrunching my shoulders up waiting for an answer. “Well, I’d have to see you dance the part and call your mom and dad, but I’m so desperate right now I say yes! After lunch we’ll show you the steps and you can try it out with Damian, OK?” She said, smiling at me. “Even you can’t dance a step, I’m saying ya can’t though, Damian could make Neil look good at dancing!” Keith said, laughing. Earning a glare from all three of us. “I bet she can dance, you look like a dancer. Just don’t step on her toe’s, Damo, because if you do, we’ll need another new dancer!” Ryan said, as Damian punched him in the arm. After talking it over with Sharon over lunch and calling my mom and dad to make sure it was okay, I was all set to audition. I was so nervous. I just hoped I could do good! “Ok, now you know what to do lets see what you got!” Sharon said, as the music started playing and Damian came walking out and started singing. Two of the other dancers walked by and now it was my turn. I walked by and turned giving Damian a small glance and kept walking and sat on the fountain. He stood on to of it and I looked at him and he flirted and I looked away again. He then took my hand so I stood up next to him he let go and got down while I walked around the whole fountain. He came back and grabbed my hand and then we danced to the other side. It was cute the way he tried not to step on my feet. He spun and dipped me and then I skipped over to the other side and sat down. He came spinning over leaning on the bench and we slowly scooted over to each other. Then he put his arm around me for the last bit. I was blushing so bad after that. “Kate, that was amazing! You get the part!” Sharon exclaimed, shaking my hand. I was so excited, but really nervous at the same time. “I think we should celebrate tonight, lads! Out to dinner and dancing!!” Keith announced. I had some shopping to do with the other girls for tonight.

Never mind. I will update now! Since I had a lot of idea's, it came fast! Hope you like it! AFter a full afternoon of shopping we finally made it back to the hotel we were staying at for the night. I was really happy with what I got. The dress was navy blue with spagetti strap sleaves and a diamond design on the skirt of the dress. It went about 3 inches below my knee's which complimented the tall black heeled shoe's I had on. I let the girls do my make up and I hardly recongnized myself when they were finished. Eye shadow a little lighter than my dress which made eyes look almost blue and they complimented that with some mascira and pencil. The guys arrived at five fifteen, obviously excited or they'd have been late. Julianne was still getting ready when they knocked. "Wow! Look at you two!" Ryan commented, looking us up and down. Keith let out a low whistle while Emmet's and Damian's jaws hit the floor. George shook his head and shut their mouths. Julianne just finished getting ready and we all giggled a little at their reactions. We all piled into the van and drove to an amazing restaurant. As we walked in I noted the cute shrubbery and flowers all around the place. The inside was even more beautiful. Chandliers gilttering from the ceiling, tables set up around the floor. I looked around in amazement at all of this. As soon as we got our seats we all sat down ordered and then Ryan said, "It's going to be a little while before we eat, why don't we hit the dance floor?" Everyone agreed, but since there was six guys and and three girls, only Damian, Keith, and Ryan danced first. Of course all the dance partners in the show were paired up. Though I was a little worried about getting my feet stepped on by Damian. But surprisingly he didn't do too bad. "You look lovely tonight," Damian said, as we danced to the music. "Thank you," I said, blushing. "Mind if I cut in?" Emmet said, stealing me away from Damian who looked too shocked to say anything. "You look Great, Kate!" He said, swaying. "Thank you. YOu don't look bad yourself," I said, blushing deeply at what I just said. He smiled and we got called to eat. AFter eating (dinner was great by the way) Damian asked me to go for a walk. I was a bit warm and I said yes. We walked silently up the street and my mind wandered to home. Now that I was going to finish the tour with them, I wouldn't see my family for at least another month. "Hey, are you ok?" Damian asked. "Yes, I'm fine. Just thinking of home," I said, letting out a sigh. He draped his arm around my shoulders and said, "Don't worry, it'll be over soon enough." I smiled up at him as we sat down at a local park. I had my purse next to me on the bench where we were sitting. "It sure is pretty out," I said, gazing up at the stars. Looking for little constellations I might see. "Yeah. Oh, I almost forgot, I have this for you," He said, taking a little box out of his pocket. I took it and opened it. I gasped slightly at it. It was a pearl neckless and it looked perfect with my dress. "Thank you so much, Damian! But you didn't have to do this," I said, looking up at him. He was grinning broadly. "I wanted to, now let me put it on you," he said, taking the neckless out of the box and clasping it around my neck. I was about to say something when I felt my purse being grabbed. I turned and hit the person right in the jaw. He staggared back wards as I held my hand. Damian jumped up and grabbed the guy by the shirt and pulled him up, but then let him go when he saw who it was... *hehehe cliffy. Read and reply*

I quickly stood up and ran over by Damian.
"Gosh, woman, you have a good arm!" Exclaimed Keith, rubbing his sore jaw. I covered my mouth with my hands in astonishment.
"Keith, what are you doing here?" I asked, still shocked.
"I came to get you and thought it'd be funny to scare you by taking your purse," He said, with a lopsided smile.
"Well, you got what you deserved then. You thief!" Damian said, giving Keith a glare for ruining his little moment with Kate.
"I wasn't going to take it and besides, I learned my lesson. Now let's get back before they wonder what happened to us," Keith replied, standing up and walking away.
Damian put his arm around me and we walked back lingering a little behind Keith.
When we got back to the hotel where the guys decided to wait for us, the first thing they asked is what happened to Keith's jaw and where he got the big bruise.
"Ask Kate," Was all he relied as he went to take care of it.
They all looked at Kate with smirks playing on their lips.
"Well, he was taking my purse so I popped him one. It's his own fault for surprising us," I said, with a shrug. They all burst out laughing.
"Do you need something for your sore hand?" Ryan asked, as he noticed me rubbing it.
"Yes, an ice pack would be good. I didn't know I could hit that hard. I just feel bad for hitting Keith like that," I said, with a little smile.
"Let's go back to our room and watch a movie," Emmet said, putting his arm loosely around my shoulder while we walked to their room. The other girls decided to go to bed, but I was in no mood to sleep. Especially with the pain my hand was in.
"Let me have a look at your hand," George said, as I walked over to where him and Ryan were talking.
"Here's your ice pack," Ryan said, handing it to me while George looked it over.
"I think you're just going to have a bruise for while. Just keep the ice on it and you'll be fine," He said.
"Thank you!" I said, giving him a hug. Just because I wanted to hug him. He smiled down at me and we all settle down to watch a movie.
"What're we watching?" I asked, laying on my tummy in between Damian and Emmet.
"Umm, I don't' know. What're we watching Keith?" Damian said, looking up at Keith who was putting the mysterious movie in the player.
"I decided we would watch, "Soul Surfer" It's about a girl who lost her arm in a shark attack and still went on surfing! I think you guys will like it!" He said. I heard a few moans, but I knew after they started watching it they would like it.
After everyone was settled we started the movie. It was intense and a little hard to watch at times, but it was inspiring. About half way through the movie, I fell asleep. I could feel myself being moved from where I was and I started moving.
"Just rest easy, I'm just bringing you to your room," Damian said, as he laid me down in my bed.
"Thank you!" I said, as I drifted back to sleep hearing the faint sound of the door shutting as Damian left.
*Well, you guys were right! haha I hope you liked it!*

And here it is!!! ;D
I vaguely remembered what happened that night, but when I got down to rehearsals and saw Keith’s bruised jaw all the memories from last night came pouring back.
I shyly walked up to the guys who were still ‘slagging’ Keith about his bruised jaw.
“Mornin’ Kate! How’s the hand?” Neil asked.
“I hope it’s in better shape then Keith’s jaw,” Emmet snickered.
“Leave them both alone,” George said, taking pity on us both.
“My hand is perfectly fine and I’m sorry Keith. You surprised me so much and that was the only thing I knew to do,” I said. And then added, “Is there anything I can do to make it better?”
Keith got devilish look in his eye and then whispered in my ear. I blushed and then nodded. Standing on my tippy toes and Keith also bent down a little I kissed his jaw. I think he just wanted to make Damian jealous, but I felt bad so I did it anyway.
“Ah, now that’s much better,” Keith, said, straightening back up. I walked briskly towards Sharon who had just walked into the room.
“Are you ready for your first rehearsal?” She asked.
“Ready as I’ll ever be,” I replied, with a sheepish smile.
"Wasn't her first rehearsal yesterday morning?" Keith asked with a smart alec smile.
"No, she was trying out, not her first rehearsal. This is her first rehearsal before the show! There is clearly a big difference," Sharon said, making herself clear to Keith. He grinned sheepishly and went back to doing what ever he was doing. Then Sharon finally noticed the huge bruise on his jaw.
"Keith, what in the world did you do to your jaw?!" She exclaimed.
"Well, a, you see it was like this..." He started, but was cut off by all the snickering. He sent the guys a glare that could melt ice, but they only laughed harder.
"Kate, since the boys won't tell me do you know what happened to Keith's jaw?"
"Well, to tell you the honost to goodness truth, I did it. But, it was Keith's own fault for sneaking up on me last night," I explained. After a good thirty seconds Sharon spoke,
"We'll just have to cover it with make-up. And Keith, next time mind your own business. You may end up with a black eye next time which would be worse then your bruised jaw."
The guys just laughed while Keith turned a deep red. Sharon called order to everyone and rehearsals began.
~*~ Before the Show ~*~
After getting into my costume on and getting my make-up on I went to wait for the show to start. I was so nervous, but taking deep breaths helped though they were very shaky. All the lads looked extremely calm. Why was I so nervous? Before I got teased Ryan walked over to and whispered,
"Hey, you look nervous. Don't be though, you'll be great!"
"Thanks," I said, letting out another shaky breath. Everyone must have noticed my nervousness because I didn't get teased at all.
"You'll be great!" Damian said, trying to calm my nerves. The other's nodded in agreement.
"Thanks," I said, still a bit nervous. Though being around them helped a lot.
"Five minutes!" One of the stage hands shouted and the guys got ready. Now, it was show time.
~*~ After the Show ~*~
"You were great!" Damian said, giving me a hug after their final bow.
"Thanks! I was so nervous though! I'm surprised I got through it with out fainting," I said, laughing a bit.
"I knew you could do it!" Ryan said, enthusastically.
"This make-up really worked, couldn't even see the bruise," Keith commented, laughing a bit.
We were all pretty tired after the show and decided it was better just to go straight to bed. The night went so fast and I would be soon on my way home.
~*~ One Month later ~*~
"Well, Kate, it was a lot of fun having you with us. Thank you for taking Haley's place and you'll get your check in the mail," Sharon said, finishing off with a hug. I was beginning to tear up.
"Thanks! I h-had a lot of f-fun," I said, holding back the tears that were threatening to spill out.
"Kate, can I ask you something?" Damian asked after I said good bye to the others. I nodded and he led me a little bit away from the others.
"Would you like to spend Christmas with me and my family?" He asked. I was shocked. It was December first and it would be such an amazing experience.
"I-I dont' know. I'd have to ask my Mom and Dad. When would it be?" I asked.
"You'd come on the fifteenth and then leave sometime in January?" He said, more like asking a question though.
"That sounds resonable. Can I let call you and let you know in about a week?" I asked. I'm sure my parents would let me. I mean, I had been hanging out with them for a over a month.
"That sounds great! I hope to see you soon!" He said, hugging me tight. I hugged back refusing to cry because I knew I'd see Damian soon.

another update for my favorite readers! Sorry it's short. I'll try to have a longer one next time! ~*~ One week Later ~*~ After begging my Mom to let me go she finally consented. But she wanted to talk with Mrs. McGinty after I told Damian the good news. I ran to my and quickly dialed the number DAmian gave me. I anxiously waited for him to answer. "Hello? Kate?" I heard a familiar voice say. "Damian, Hi! How was your flight home?" I asked, because he still sounded a bit jet lagged. "The flight was fine, long, but fine. Anyway, can you come?!" He asked, eagerness evident in his voice. "Yes, I can come, but" I stressed, "my Mom wants to talk to you rMom before I do anything." "MOM, KATE'S MOM WANTS TO TALK TO YOU!" He yelled as I held the phone away from my ear and giggled at him. "Damian--" I started to say, but was soon cut off. "Here's my mom, now go get yours." I just laughed and went to find my mom. "It's Mrs. McGinty," I said, smiling. She took the phone and they began talking. ~*~ One hour later ~*~ After an hour of watching my mom talk on the phone I decided that I would go over to Sarah's house. I haven't talked to her since I got back and we really didn't get to talk 'talk' so I left a note for my mom saying where I would be. Luckily she lived only a block away. I wouldn't have to walk very far. The only reason we really drive is when we're too lazy to walk. It only took on ring of the door bell to get Sarah to answer. When she saw me, she squeeled and then gave me the biggest bearhug I've ever gotten from her. "I've missed you so much!" She exclaimed in excitment as she dragged me up to her room after I said hello to her mom. "I've missed you too, Sarah!" I said, sitting contently in a bean bag chair. "Tell. Me. Everything!" She said, excitedly. "Alright, after I got on there bus..... And now I'm waiting fro my mom to finish talking to Mrs. Mcginty." I said, finishing my story. "That is really just something else. Do you think I ould come with you?" She suddenly asked. " I don't see why not! I mean, my Mom and Dad would be more comfortable with me traveling with you then all by myself." I said smiling widly. "What if my parents won't let me go?" "If they don't, I'll have my mom talk to your mom and if that doesn't work you can Stowaway in my suitcase." She laughed at theat and then said, "This is so exciting! I get to meet your soon-to-be boyfriend!" I turned red and was saved by the phone ringing. "It was your mom. She wants you home for dnner and she also wants to talk to you!" "Oh, ok. I'll talk to you tonight!" I said getting up, and hugging Sarah. "Alright, but I'm not going to ask my parents just yet. Maybe I'll just tell them about you going and then ask them in the next few days. Just to let them warm up to the idea of you going." "That sounds like a great plan! But I'm sure you'll be able to come!" We said our goodbyes for the night. I realized on the walk home that my Mom was on the phone for a good three hours. That 'had' to e a good sign, right? I arrived home and let myself in. "So, how was your little chat with Mrs. McGinty?" I asked, getting seated at the table after giving my Mom and Dad each a kiss on the cheek. "The McGinty's are a very nice family and they're looking forward to meeting and Sarah." My mom said. I replayed what she just said in my mind and then shouted, "SARAH'S COMING?! THIS IS GOING TO BE SOOOOO MUCH FUN!!!" I jumped out of my chair and went to call her. ~*~ A half hour later ~*~ "Busy! How could the line still be busy?!" I shouted retorically. "Honey, why don't you wait a few minutes and then try again," My mom suggested, noticing my frustration. "Alright." And with in a few minutes the phone rang. I answered it not waiting for the caller I.D. to show up. "Hello," I answered. "Kate, I've been tryin' to call you for a half hour!" Sarah exclaimed. "I've been trying to call you!" I said, in a high pitched voice. "Anyway, I have the greatest news! My mom and dad said I'm going with you to Ireland!!"

***Sorry it's taken so long.. And sorry it's so short. But a short update is better then none at all, right?***
“We’re on our way to Ireland!” Sarah exclaimed, squirming in her seat. I tried to sleep, but her continual chatter made it impossible. But I have to admit I was just as much excited as she was, probably more so since I couldn’t wait to see Damian.
“Kate, c’mon talk to me, girl! I’m too hyper to sleep. You can’t just sleep and leave me here to sit around doing nothing!” She said, grabbing my shoulders and shaking me.
“Alright!” I said, sitting up rubbing my eyes. “What should we do? We have about eight whole hours left until we’re there.” I said, dreading the rest of the ride. I hated planes and this long of a ride was just too much for me to handle. I guess a good distraction like Sarah extreme hyperness would help.
“We could play “I Spy”?” She suggested.
“Seriously? What is there to spy on this plane?!” I said dramatically looking all around me.
“Hmm.. I suppose you’re right about that,” She sat there silently for a moment. She looked deeply in thought. I yawned and closed my eyes sleepily.
”Wake up! I’m thinking,” She said. People on the plane looked upset. She was being too loud.
“Sarah, you’ve gotta lower your voice. People are trying to sleep,” I said, half whispering.
“Oh. Right. Sorry,” She said lowering her eyes to the floor.
“It’s fine. I don’t mind, it’s just those people glaring at us,” I said, taking a peak behind us.
“I’m actually tired now. Let’s try to sleep,” She suggested, stifling a yawn.
“That sounds good,” I replied, getting comfortable again in my seat. Soon enough we both drifted off into a dreamless sleep anticipating what was awaiting us in Ireland.
