~ Karlie ~

-          Pefect?, I asked.

-          That�s what he said., Tiff said telling us girls what the guys were saying.

-          Perfect? What�s going to get us?, Buffy asked.

-          Perfect? Conflict? Constrict?, Bek asked.

-          A dick?, I asked.

-          No you yank!, Buffy laughed.

-          Look you guys work the tune. Give me the basic and I�ll do Buffy�s rap. I said.

-          Man do I always have to rap? I want a ballad!

-          Anywyas you�re certain you can do it? Write one?, Lee asked.

-          I am Sparticus! I can do anything., I said.

-          Alright! So perfect that�s what he wants. That�s what he will get., Buffy mumbled.

-          But Perfect isn�t perfect., Bek said to herself.

-          Cause it doesn�t come cheap., I said starting to form a tune.

-          But I knew all along I was in to deep., Buffy added with a smile.

-          Perfect wasn�t perfect till you came along., Lee said.

-          Everything seemed right but now its wrong., Dee said.

-          If there was one thing in this world I could have?, Tiff asked.

-          It�s you!, Buffy and I called out.

-          Cause there is nothing that I wouldn�t do., Bek said.

-          Oh god! It�s begun again!, Buffy said excitedly.

-          We got a good start! Let�s keep going!, Lee added.

-          I�m helping you guys write a song!, Tiff squealed

-          She�s helping us with a song!, Bek squealed laughing.

-          Look here�s the deal. The guys are seriously going to be thinking something fishy is going on., I said warning them.

-          Hey! Hey! I�m not screwing things up! Steve doesn�t have a clue what I�m doing., Buffy said.

-          Hey look! We can all act and some better than others. But hey we ain�t actors! We are musicians., Lee said.

-          Speak for yourself! I�m multi talented., I joked.

-          We know! You never shut up about it., Bek said.

-          Oh wait! Was that your ass speaking cause it definitely didn�t come out of your mouth., I laughed.

-          Yeah well we won�t go there now will we?, Bek said laughing.

-          Hell no! Specially when I have some photos which you will be dying to see., I said showing two lots of photographs from the party.

-          Oh show me!, Tiff said trying to get the photos.

-          No! You�ll all see them in your own time. So relax and get back to work., I laughed.

-          We never relax!, Bek said.

-          Or work for that matter., Dee added.

-          What do we do?, Buffy asked smiling.

-          Cause havoc., Lee said as if she was stating the obvious.

-          True!, we all say at the same time.

A couple of days had passed by and it did gave me time to think about the song for Steve. I know it�s going to be a huge one since Buffy and Steve are doing a cameo. The only thing that I hope and the so are the girls, that the guys wouldn�t suspect something weird was going on or it would be ruining all the surprise.

On this day, I was at the studio trying to find some inspiration and writing anything that are coming out of my mouth. Not only that I was trying to kill some time before going to Buffy�s place.

-          Hey! There�s a thin line between fate and destiny. Our lives interact and the out come would be. The happy picture the we both want to see. Yhe never ending story that was just meant for me., I said to myself in front of my guitar.

-          Hey! You�re ready?, Ryan asked me when he came into my studio.

-          Give me 10.

-          Alright., he said before leaving.

-          This isn�t perfect! It�s hell!, I sighed before putting my guitar up against the wall before leaving the room.

* A Couple Of Minutes Later *

-          It�s not the things that you do that made me fall in love with you. I know that you feel it to; So come on you know what to do., I said as I talked to myself while Ryan drove to the Record Company.

-          What?, Ryan asked.

-          Nothing., I answered.

-          No it isn�t., he stated.

-          Yeah it is. I just got a song in my head that�s all., I laughed.

-          Tell me?

-          I will when it�s done., I said as I pat his leg.

-          You are one of the most confusing people I have ever known., he laughed.

-          Yes I�m sure! Wait do we have any idea on why we are all meeting?, I asked.

-          Buffy organized this meeting., Ryan said as he pulled up.

-          Any idea?, I asked jumping out of the car.

-          Don�t care just as long as she isn�t pregnant., Ryan joked.

* A Couple Of Minutes Later After The Annoucement *

-          You�re what?!, I yelled out shocked.

-          Lee close your mouth! It�s not lady like to have your mouth drop on the floor., Bek said.

-          You�re what?!, I asked again.

-          You heard me!, Buffy said.

-          Why?, Dee asked.

-          You�re what?!, I asked again.

-          Karlie will you stop that?, Buffy asked looking upset.

-          Why? It may help me to understand why!, I said shaking my head.

-          At least she isn�t pregnant., Ryan said looking at me.

-          Well if you don�t mind I might just go out and have some fresh air., I said.

-          Karlie wait!, Buffy called out to me as I walked out.

-          Shit!, Dee said shaking her head.

* Once Outside Buffy And Steve�s Place *

-          Mouse? You�re okay?, Ryan asked me when he found me.

-          Fine!, I said throwing a stone in the air.

-          Come on! You don�t want the group to break up. You went all silent on me after Lou died and you guys announced your break up., Ryan said to me.

-          Well there you go! I don�t want us to break up!, I said before having teary eyes.

-          But you can�t get mad at Buffy cause she wants too., Ryan said hugging me.

-          But I want to., I whined.

-          You can�t Mouse., Ryan laughed.
