(A/N Hi guys I am back and give me an e- mail.. I would love to hear what you think of my stories� The chapters will get more interesting I promise� I have basically what I want to happen , but if you have any suggestions give me an e mail PLEASE!! Okay I will stop pleading� This song is called Innocence Again and it is Not by me but by the talented band Switchfoot� Love is like wet cement the longer you stay the harder it is to move and you can never leave without leaving your prints behind-- Katie <3)

Do you remember when
You were way back then
You held the world inside your hands

When you told me love
Was the strongest stuff
Your strength was innocence

But , Oh man
The signs of the times are omens
Your starting the day in
No man�s land again

Who are you going to be?
When you are on your knees ,who
Do you believe?
Fear is a lonely man
You�ve been given Innocence
You�ve been given Innocence again

You should know by now
That the darkest hour
Is when your heart goes down
It�s a bitter end
When the sweet begins
Grace is sufficiency

But, oh dear, We�ll never deserve it
No dear we could never earn it
Now here the choice us yours

Grace is high and low
We�ll never be the same

�Alright you put the cheese inside the pasta and fork it like this ��.. Now drop it into the water. Repeat. Good job.� Zucchini taught her father to make the ravioli just the way she knew how to - the way he mother taught her.

�okay� she finally said after thirteen - her mother�s lucky number - raviolis were boiling in the hot water, � We need to talk about my future ,dad� I am 25 and I have only had two boyfriends. I want to settle down and start a family� She started, � That is also one reason I am going to New York. I need to be free and start my own life as a woman� I am leaving in three days and I want to spend time with you.� She finished.

�okay, but that does not mean that when you find a boy you can just not let him meet your daddy.� He mumbled with his strong Italian accent.

� oh thank you so much daddy� he is never good enough for you� I know� I love you daddy�� she squealed as she hugged her dad while simultaneously putting the ravioli in a bowl.

� what do you want to do tomorrow� He asked.

� Let�s go to the zoo and then out to Dinner at Johnny�s and then the next day we can go down by the lake and ride the Goodtime III . Then on the last day we can go to the Rock and roll hall of fame and then eat at Lola .. I have to be at the airport at 7:00 PM my plane leaves at 8:30 PM we have time to do everything I want� She said as she finished her ravioli , put her dishes in the sink and kissed he father goodnight.

(A/N Remember I said she lives in Chagrin Falls� she lives in Cleveland.. That is a suburb of Cleveland� I did not know where else to say she lived because I can really talk about the town since I well� lie there...lol but um all the restaurants are high class restraints and are real. Of course Cleveland has a zoo and the Goodtime III is a boat that takes you down the river and shows you the sights� it is pretty cool� The rock and roll hall of fame is also of course real and in Cleveland.. Just if you were wondering)

The three days passed with great joy and the ended sooner than imaginable everything was going well when Zucchini�s cell phone rang�

� Hello this is Zucchini Impulutii� She answered In a sweet tone.

� Hello Zucchini I was just calling to ask when you will be getting in, we will have our company limo pick you up� Her new boss said.

� Wow that is really nice, I mean if it is not too much trouble. I think I get in around 10 :30.� She exclaimed

� Okay well then 10 :30 it is exit the JFK airport at exit 5. The limo will be waiting.� He monotoned.

� Thanx that is awfully nice of you. I mean all that for me?� she asked not really directing her question towards anyone.

� Well we have been meaning to tell you, I know you thought you would be writing novels for a premium, but I would like to propose something a little different.� He spoke

� Like what?� She asked concerned.

� well, we need a new writer for the New York times, and since you have experience and are already with the company I thought it might be a smart idea. One of our writers is on maternity leave for at least a year. We do not know if she is ever coming back to write with us. If She does not come back , you can have her permanent job. If she does you can go back to writing novels.� He explained.

� Well, I don�t know� � she trailed off, � What would I be writing about? And would I be able to write freely?�

� Of course. We give you topics to write about , but if you find a better one you are certainly welcome to write about it. You would be able to write novels in your spare time. If you have any that is. Your articles have to be top shape. They will come out Friday, Saturday, Sunday. During the week you are doing research to make your article the best article of your career each time. But that is not to say, that if you have three great articles finished on Tuesday, you cannot give them to the editor, and have the rest of the week to write novels, hang with friends, go out partying , or whatever you like to do. � He babbled.

� Wow it certainly sounds like any opportunity that I will have to take up. But if you do not mind I have to pack the rest of my bedroom to ship to New York and then go to the airport.� She said as she hung up and stuffed her cell phone back into the back pocket of her jeans.

� Hunnie I love you and call me when you get there.� Her father called after her daughter after she had already ran back to her father fifteen times and gave him another kiss right when she was going to the terminal.

� I love you too, I promise to call you, remember to call me if you have any problems with the washing machine or anything� She said to her father while blowing him a kiss and turning into the terminal gate and not looking back on account she would have ran back for the sixteenth time.

� now boarding rows fourteen through one.� the loudspeaker played.

� hello how are you today, miss?� The flight attendant said as she ripped her ticket and gave Zucchini the stub.

� Fine thanx.� She answered as she entered the hall and felt the draft of air as she got onto the plane.

� Row three, row four, row five, row six�. Here it is row seven. Seat A. Cool I have the aisle. She saw her companion mates as she put her carry on bag in the overhead bin.

� Hi � the woman said, � my name is Penelope and this is my husband Gregory.�

They looked about her age maybe a couple years older.

� Hi my name is Zucchini, you are not Greg Raposo by any chance are you?� She questioned. v� Oh my Gosh� He said while pulling her into a hug,� I have missed you so much.� The woman looked concerned yet confused.

�O I missed you too , how are the girls? Still doing the music thing?�

�O they are great� same as always. Daniella just turned fifteen and Nicole just turned eighteen. It is amazing how much they have grown up. I am still doing the music thing and we are planning to go on tour this year. O and I am very rude for doing this, Zucchini , this is my wife, Penelope.� He smile and kissed her hair.

�wow that�s great� It is so nice to meet you.� Zucchini mentioned, �I am an old friend of Greg�s� Wow I bet you thought I was and ex- girlfriend ha ha�

� O my gosh did you? No we are just friends� really good friends. Do not worry. Why are you heading to New York City?� Greg politely asked.

� I was supposed to write novels, for a New York times company and they would give me reviews and stuff like that, but one of the writers for the newspaper is on maternity leave, and the company offered me her job.� She cheered.

� Well I am glad you are happy� Greg stated.

� t -thanx, I w-wish you the b- best in your m- music career � She stuttered.

� Thanx I wish you the best too.�

With that they were both out and asleep. Until a voice called� Excuse me madam sir what do you want to drink� She The flight attendant grunted.

� o I will have a diet coke extra ice. Thanx,�

� and I will have a ginger ale thanx� Greg groaned as he lay his head back down on his wife who was still lying there.

The plane grumbled and hit the ground with a fast roar. �Please remain seated until we are at the gate. Welcome to New York City , The big Apple. Thank you for flying with American Airlines and remember come back to see us soon.� The loudspeaker announced.

Greg and Zucchini jolted awake as soon as they pulled into the gate and the fasten seat belt sign dinged off.

� Goodbye� They both said to the crew stepping off the plane.

�it was great to see you again� Greg asserted as he scribbled something down on a plane napkin.

� I love you Greg, I always have and I am so happy that you have found a woman that you love and honor. Remember I am here for you always any problems , I am here. I love you Greg I love you so much� She whispered into his ear while simultaneously hugging him and kissing him on the cheek.

� Awww, I love you too, call me whenever you need to talk. Come see me on tour, I will read your articles. Stop by the old house whenever you want, you know what it looks like.� he confessed.

�Okay I will� She wiped a tear away.

Her baggage was being shipped so she walked out with her purse to exit 5. There was many signs with Mr. Johnson�s and Mr. Smith�s but Zucchini knew when she saw Impulutti it was her� s .

�Hello I am Zucchini Impulutti� she informed.

� very well, let me take you to your hotel, Your things will be arriving shortly. I have been informed that you do not have an apartment.� He evoked.

� Yes that is true sir, I do not have a place to stay but I was just going to get a-�

� Call me Ed. I will be your driver from now on � you do not need a car in New York City , there is so much traffic and you would have to pay at least 300 dollars in cash a month for taxis� They want me to be your driver� For the moment you will be staying in a hotel until you make enough money or when you find the right apartment or even house.� He cut her off.

� Okay Eddie.� She cheered

� No Ed.�

�Okay� She shrieked as they pulled up to the one the only PLAZA hotel, �Wow this is too much ! Is this all a dream?�

�No it is not, get ready your stylist will be at your door at 6: 30 in the morning. You have a ball to get ready for.� He hollered as she got out of the limo and squealed loudly.

� the PLAZA The Plaza� this is not happening this is not happening.. �It is a dream!!�

�I assure you it is not a dream� He called after her.

( A/N okay so I have had a lot of author�s notes in this chapter , well there is a lot of things that are confusing in it �lol� Drop me an e-mail and tell me what you thought of it� The chapters will continue to be this size probably longer. Okay So Zucchini met Greg� Do you think that Greg will get divorced and go with Zucchini?� well you will see and it will be totally surprising� Also what movie do you think it is like?� At the beginning it is like Coyote Ugly, with her overprotective father and no mother and her going to New York City to write� but then I think it developed in to the Princess Diaries� The books�. That is�o and yea I did get the limo thing from the movie� SO SUE ME!! But anyways.. I hope you liked it and e -mail what you think of it!!!! )
