Hey Ally here. High schools over forever!!! I am now a graduated senior. As was our plan since we were Juniors, Gwen-my bff- and I will be going on a road trip across America, ending our trip in California. The day after graduation we packed up Gwen's "Cherry Bomb," Gwen's bright red Toyota Camry which was from like the eighties and could break down any minute. After packing the car we said a tearful goodbye to our parents and a less tearful one to our sisters, we hit the road! As we drove out of New Jersey we talked about what we would do when we got to California, and of course sang loudly to our "Trip Mix" which had oldies like The Beatles, The Who, Queen, and of course Bob Dylan. The Mix also had our modern favorites like California by Hawk Nelson (how appropriate) and In Love With the Eighties by Relient K. The people in other cars looked at us strangely, but we didn't care we were having the time of our life!
By the time we reached Pittsburgh, 5 hours later, we were kinda beat from singing so loud, and were calmly talking.
"Once we get there we have to go see Hollywood," Gwen said.
"Duh. We'll get our picture taken with the Hollywood sign. Maybe we'll meet Ryan Gosling, or Batman!" I said excitedly. We laughed, but where interrupted by growling stomachs.
"I guess it's time for lunch," Gwen said, and pulled off the highway and stopped at a diner. There we had a quick bite to eat, left, and continued on the road after switching drivers.
We never seemed to run out of things to talk about. As we passed through Ohio we were discussing books, and by the time we had reached St. Louis, our stop for the night, we had talked about books, music, movies, guys, cars, and Christianity. We pulled off at a hotel, took out our overnight bags and went inside. It was almost ten o'clock and we were both extremely glad to get out of the stupid car. We went inside and after checking in, went to our room and flopped onto our beds.
The next morning we did a bit of sight seeing before hitting the ol' asphalt. We got our picture taken by the arch-to add to our Road Trip Scrapbook- and of course did some shopping. We piled in the car with our purchases and headed out. We passed through Missouri and Oklahoma and stopped for the night in Amarillo, Texas. I was surprised the Cherry Bomb had lasted the 1,500 plus miles we had already traveled.
When we woke up, after a quick breakfast we hit the road again. As were were passing through New Mexico, which is like wide open road, something bad happened. We ran out of gas in the middle of nowhere. The Cherry Bomb just stopped. Slowed down then just wouldn't move. Needless to say Gwen and I were ticked to say the least. We took turns pushing and guiding the car, since we couldn't remember who had forgotten to get gas, until we reached a small gas station. We filled it up and continued on.
Many hours later, ten to be exact, we crossed the California border into California. We took a picture by the "Welcome to California" sign. We took in all the sights, sounds, and smells. We were so excited we were practically bouncing out of our seats. I had to remain somewhat in control because I was driving. When we reached Victorville, a city an hour and a half away from Hollywood where we were thinking about staying the rest of our trip, we couldn't wait to go sightseeing tomorrow. As we pulled into the hotel parking lot, The Cherry Bomb made some sounds that did not sound good at all. As I pulled into a parking spot The Cherry Bomb made one last wheeze and went to car heaven. Gwen and I looked at each other.
"I guess sightseeing is out tomorrow," I said. Our first real day in California and we will have to spend it car searching. Great. Make sure you tune in again. Cherrio!
R.I.P Cherry Bomb- Even though you were a crappy car we still loved you!

Dream Girl
Ugh, another day of school. Then he spots her. She is the most beautiful and striking girl he has ever seen walking down the hallway towards him. There is a vague whispering and all he can see is her face. Everything else is a blur.
"Raven.... Raven...." the voices whisper as she continues to walk toward him, her eyes fixed on him.
"Who...?" he starts. As suddenly as she appeared, she was gone.
"Alexander." Mom comes into the room. "Wake up. Your going to be late again. Do you want a Saturday, mister?"
"Uhhhhhhhhh," Alexander groans into his pillow. I can't believe I had that dream again. What's wrong with me? He thought. Raven... And on that note he finally decides to get up.

The Ski Trip: The Ending
After lunch they skied some more until 4:00, they then piled into the van and went back to the house. They hung out together and watched a couple of chick-flicks (much to the guys' disappointment). After dinner they all held hands and prayed aloud. Gwen ended up holding hands with Ron and Ally. She was so nervous. Partly because she was holding hands with Ron and partly because she had to pray aloud, which she dreaded. When it came to be time for her to pray, she did quickly, and sighed with relief. After they were done praying, they played a game of Apples to Apples before heading off to bed.
That night Gwen dreamed that Ron came to her and put something in her hand, when she woke up there was a piece of paper in her hand. It was shaped like a heart and had the words: Ron's Heart. The other side had the words: Gwen, I Love You. Gwen stared at the paper, unable to believe it. She must be dreaming. Ally woke up just then and Gwen showed her the paper. Ally broke into a grin.
"He loves you," she whispered.
"No he doesn't this is a sick joke. He knows I like him and is doing this, or someone else is."
"Gwen, he isn't like that and neither are any of the guys. No one here would do that. The seniors might have, but they're not here anymore. Besides, why wouldn't he like you."
"I still think it's a joke," Gwen said as she got up and went to get dressed. Minutes later she and Ally sat at the table eating. They were soon joined by Ron and Jeremy.
"Good Morning," Jeremy said cheerfully.
"Morning" Ally said, not so cheerfully. She wasn't very much a morning person. Gwen just gave him a smile, and one to Ron.
"You have a good sleep?" Ron asked. Gwen turned to him, and wondered if he was asking about the paper.
"Yes, you?" Gwen replied.
"Yep, slept like a baby," Ron said giving Gwen a shy smile. Gwen smiled back, but said nothing. The four ate in silence after that. Soon after, all the skiers were getting ready to leave for the mountain. Ally and Gwen were walking to the van when Ally slipped on the ice. She was about to hit the hard, cold ground when strong arms gripped her firmly, and kept her from falling. The arms secured her on her feet, and Ally turned to see Jeremy.
"Thanks," Ally said shyly, smiling.
"No problem," he flashed her a grin. "Be careful," Ally carefully walked to the car, and got in. During the car ride, Gwen noticed Ron giving her sidelong glances. She wondered what that was about.
They arrived at the mountain, and Ally, Gwen, Ron,and Jeremy decided to stick with the bunny slope for a bit. When the four started walking, Gwen debated talking to Ron about the heart. She fingered it in her pocket. Finally she decided to say something.
"Ron," she said.
"Yeah," he replied turning to her.
"Here," she handed him the heart.
"I don't want it," he said. "It's yours Gwen. My heart is yours."
"Really?"
"Yes, from the moment I first saw you, my heart beat faster, you were so pretty. Since then I have grown to love you. You have bewitched me body and soul. I love you, always have, and always will." Gwen smiled, and pocketed the heart before they kissed. When their lips met Gwen tingled all over. She got chills, and not because of the cold. Ally turned back to see them kissing and smiled. Jeremy turned too, and smiled too. They did a couple of wolf whistles.
"Oh go ski already," Ron said before kissing Gwen again. Jeremy and Ally laughed, and continued walking.
Ally tried to ski down the mountain, falling again. Everyone had left to go to ski down the real mountain. Gwen had wanted to stay behind, saying she shouldn't leave Ally alone, but Ally had told her to go, be with her boyfriend (the two girls had giggled over that). Ally said she'd be fine, who could get hurt on the bunny slopes? Now she was glad they'd all left. She didn't want to be embarrassed in front of everyone. Especially Jeremy, who Ally had realized she liked a lot, maybe loved. She sighed as she got up again. She continued to ski, when another skier came up right next to her. She was about to yell at the skier for skiing so close to her when she looked up. It was Jeremy. The two stopped skiing to talk.
"Hey, I thought you went to the real slope."
"No, I decided to come back here. You shouldn't be alone."
"Oh you don't have to," Ally said.
"I know. I want to," Ally looked up at this. She stared into his eyes, and before she knew what was happening, they were about to kiss. She didn't know who leaned forward the extra bit, but they were kissing, and fireworks went off in her head. Suddenly Jeremy pulled away. "I_I'm sorry," he said stammering. "I shouldn't have done that."
"Why not?"
"I mean you're so cool, and I'm_I'm_"
"A great guy," Ally said smiling. Jeremy broke into a huge grin.
"You really think so?"
"Yeah,"
"I'm glad you think so because...I love you." The words were uttered in a rush, and Ally wasn't sure she heard them right.
"What?"
"I love you," this time Ally heard them. "I love you, from the first moment we met, but I thought you liked Logan, so I never said anything. I was going to tell you the first day we went skiing. That's why I took the lesson. Then Logan came along. I was so jealous of all the attention he gave you. I wanted to give that attention to you. Have you in my arms, but I kept silent. Until I believed you actually might like me. Do you?"
"Yes, Jeremy. I love you," Ally said smiling. Jeremy smiled and the two kissed again. Suddenly the two heard wolf whistles. They broke apart to see Gwen and Ron standing at the base of the bunny hill, not far from them.
"So this is where you went off to," Ron said smiling.
"You said you were only going to be a minute," Gwen said smiling also.
"We came looking for you, and lookie where you were."
"Oh shut up," Jeremy said sighing, but was smiling. Jeremy and Ally skied down to meet their two friends. Together the foursome headed to the lodge.

The Ski Trip Part V
Hours later Calvin, Jeremy, Ally, Gwen, and Ron all headed to the ski lodge. They were going to meet up with John and the rest of the skiers and have lunch. The ski lodge was very crowded and they walked around searching for a free table. They finally found one that had a couple bags underneath the table, but no people sitting at it. They all sat down at the table, but the guys soon left to go get food. Ally and Gwen volunteered to stay at the table so no one could take it, and wait for everyone else to arrive. They were sitting talking when three guys came up. They were kinda cute and when they saw the girls, they smiled.
"Hey," said one guy with reddish-brown hair
"Hey," Gwen said.
"You two mind if we sit with you?" Asked another who had platinum blonde hair.
"Yeah, we kinda put our stuff here." The third guy-who had maroon/black hair- said.
"Oh, sorry," Gwen said.
"There were no other tables left, and no one was here..." Ally explained quickly.
"It's cool," said the blonde. Just then Calvin, Jeremy, and Ron came up carrying trays full of food. "Hey," they said setting their trays down before they noticed the three other guys.
"Did we take your table?" Ron asked.
"Kinda, but it's cool," the maroon guy said. "We were just about to go back to ski," they grabbed their bags and left.
"You guys can go get your food now," Jeremy said. Ally and Gwen eyed the burnt pizza and soggy fries.
"We're gonna go for a walk instead," Gwen said after exchanging a look with Ally. "Can you tell the others when they get back where we've gone."
"Sure," Jeremy said before biting into a burger. The two girls put on their coats and left the lodge going out into the winter air.
They walked for a bit in silence. Their boots making crunching sounds as they walked. As they walked they thought of different things. Ally thought of painting this place, the snow covered mountains, minus the ski lifts and all the skiers. She loved painting, and was working on her painting skills. Gwen thought of photographing this place. She loved photography and the skiers and the snow would make an excellent picture. Ally was the first to speak.
"I like it here," she said.
"Me too," Gwen nodded.
"I wish I could ski better so I could enjoy it better."
"With practice you'll get better."
"I hope," suddenly they spotted John and the rest of the group and heading back to the lodge.
Hey Gwen you wanna help me write this story? I've hit a writer's block, plus I'll be at my grandparent's for a couple days. So if you feel like taking this story somewhere, be my guest!
"Hey," said one guy with reddish-brown hair
"Hey," Gwen said.
"You two mind if we sit with you?" Asked another who had platinum blonde hair.
"Yeah, we kinda put our stuff here." The third guy-who had maroon/black hair- said.

The Ski Trip Part IV
Ally sighed as she took off her skis so she could get back up from her fallen position. It was like the fifth time she fell. She was so not having fun. Especially since she was the only one having this much trouble, Ron and Calvin were already skiing from the top of the bunny hill down without any trouble. Ally sighed again as she slipped trying to get up and fell backwards. She just laid there in the snow hoping no one was paying attention to her. Hoping Logan was no where in sight. As she laid there suddenly a skier stopped right next to her. It was Jeremy.
"You ok?"
"I guess," Ally said casually. Pretending that laying on the ground was perfectly normal.
"Do you need help getting up?"He asked. Ally decided to cut the bravado act, she nodded. "Ok, give me you hand," Ally took the pole out of it and gave it to him. He pulled her to her feet.
"Thank you," Ally said giving him a small smile. He gave her a small smile back. Just then Gwen came up, perfectly at home on skis.
"Hey guys,"
"Hey Gwen," Ally replied as she put her skis back on.
"How you doing Ally?"
"Ok, being my normal clumsy, non-athletic self," Ally gave a small smile as she said this.
"You'll get the hang of it, you need to practice."
"I will," Ally said, promising herself to keep to it. Gwen smiled.
"Good," she said before skiing off. Ally's skis where now on, and she was ready to ski.
"You ok now?" Jeremy asked.
"Yeah, thanks," Ally said smiling.
"No problem," he skied off. Ally pondered Jeremy for a moment, but had other pressing matters that she forgot about him. She was sliding down the hill. Ohmigosh, she thought scared as she started sliding faster. What do I do? What do I do? Just then a skier came sideways and stopped her, but she fell backwards. Not again! She took off her skis then looked up at the skier, it was Logan.
"Hey, need help?" Ally nodded and he held out his hand, Ally laid her pole down then laid her hand in his, he pulled her to her feet. "I think you need to learn how to slow down and stop."
"I probably should," Ally smiled.
"Ok now to stop you have to do this," he skiied forward a bit, then turned his skis so he would stop. Ally mimicked him and stopped also. "Great job!" He gave her a huge smile and she smiled back. She was distracted because she saw Gwen fall right into the small ditch on the side of the top of the bunny hill. Seconds after her fall Ron came up and stopped right above her. Ally could see him help her up. Ally smiled and focused her attention on Logan.
Gwen looked up at Ron.
"Hey, need help?"
"Yes, unfortunately," Gwen smiled. He smiled back and Gwen's heart fluttered.
"Here let me help," He took off his skis and stepped into the ditch. Gwen was in such a position that she couldn't take hers off. He took his pole and pushed it into the hole that would release her ski.He did the other one and held out his hand , Gwen took it feeling the electric shock.
"Thank you," she said.
"No problem. Gwen I..." Gwen held her breath. "Hope you are having fun. Are you?"
"Yeah," Gwen said letting the air come out, hoping it didn't come out in a sigh. "Loads. You?"
"Yep, well bye," he skied off and Gwen sighed.
"You ok?"
"I guess," Ally said casually. Pretending that laying on the ground was perfectly normal.
"Do you need help getting up?"He asked. Ally decided to cut the bravado act, she nodded. "Ok, give me you hand," Ally took the pole out of it and gave it to him. He pulled her to her feet.
"Thank you," Ally said giving him a small smile. He gave her a small smile back. Just then Gwen came up, perfectly at home on skis.
"Hey guys,"
"Hey Gwen," Ally replied as she put her skis back on.
"How you doing Ally?"
"Ok, being my normal clumsy, non-athletic self," Ally gave a small smile as she said this.
"You'll get the hang of it, you need to practice."
"I will," Ally said, promising herself to keep to it. Gwen smiled.
"Good," she said before skiing off. Ally's skis where now on, and she was ready to ski.
"You ok now?" Jeremy asked.
"Yeah, thanks," Ally said smiling.
"No problem," he skied off. Ally pondered Jeremy for a moment, but had other pressing matters that she forgot about him. She was sliding down the hill. Ohmigosh, she thought scared as she started sliding faster. What do I do? What do I do? Just then a skier came sideways and stopped her, but she fell backwards. Not again!

"Yeah," Gwen said letting the air come out, hoping it didn't come out in a sigh. "Loads. You?"
"Yep, well bye," he skied off and Gwen sighed.

The Ski Trip Part III
Ally couldn't believe it. Perfect blonde guy was going to teach her to ski. She gave him a small smile.
"Hey," she said, hoping her voice sounded normal. He gave her a dazzling smile.
"Hey," he said so beautifully Ally almost melted. "So what are your names?" He asked starting with John.
"I'm Mr. Smith, but everyone calls me John."
"Ron. "
"Calvin."
"Jeremy."
"Gwen," Gwen said smiling. He gave her a smile back. Ally was the last and he turned to her expectantly.
"Ally," she said as normally as she could. He gave her another winning smile.
"Great. Now let's get started. Have any of you guys skied before?" Gwen, Jeremy, and John raised their hands. "Ok, so you three who haven't come over here," he backed away from the group and Calvin, Ron, and Ally followed. "Good, now here's how to put your skis on," he showed them and everyone copied. "Good, now I need a volunteer." No one volunteered. "Come on, don't be shy."
"I guess I will," Ally said.
"Great, come stand next to me," Ally did. "Ok so this is how you start out skiing, hand me your pole," Ally did. "Now you hold it like this and you loop the hook around like this," he took Ally's hand and put the hook around her hand. He gave her the other pole. "You try," Ally did and he smiled.
"How do you do it?" Gwen asked. Ally exchanged a smile with her. "I forgot," though Ally knew she didn't. Logan walked over to her, took her hand and looped it around her hand. Then Gwen copied it with her other pole.
"Ok, everyone did it?"When everyone nodded, he continued.
As the lesson progressed Gwen faked not knowing somethings just to get Logan to show her personally. He was so cute, she just couldn't help it. Once when Logan was showing her how to do something, and was very close, she saw Ron looked mad. Could he be jealous? Gwen immediately forgot about Logan. Could Ron be jealous of the fact that Logan was so close to her? Gwen dismissed that idea. He was no doubt angry that he couldn't do that to Ariel, a senior who Gwen thought he had liked. Thankfully she had left for college. Logan had finished showing her and moved onto Ally who was unable to do the pizza pie. Gwen saw Ally looked frustrated, and Gwen figured she wasn't faking. She hoped Ally would have more fun tomorrow. It was then that Gwen noticed Jeremy staring at Logan and Ally - though everyone else was too because he was showing them all how to do the pizza pie- but not everyone else had that pained look that he did. Gwen wondered at this, but soon forgot all about it.
"Hey," she said, hoping her voice sounded normal. He gave her a dazzling smile.

The Ski Trip Part II
Ally and Gwen woke up to the sound of their cellphone alarms. Gwen had dreamed all last night of Ron, ans sighed as she woke up.
"I dreamed of him," Gwen told Ally. Ally nodded knowing who she meant.
"Good dream?"
"Very good," Gwen said thinking of the dream where Ron had asked her out,and they kissed right before she woke up. "Oh if only it had happened."
"Maybe it will," Ally said. "It coming true is more likely than my dream coming true."
"Well what's yours?" Ally always had weird dreams.
"I am so good at skiing that I go to the Olympics, there I'm attacked by the redcoats.Then they tie me up and dangle me over a pit of snakes."
"Yeah I don't think that will happen," Gwen laughed. They got dressed, and went to go have breakfast.
"Yum, cold cereal," Gwen said sarcastically , as she grabbed a small box of fruit loops and a bowl.
"Yum yum," Ally said just as sarcastically. They seemed to be the only ones eating at the time, so they sat across from each other at the small table that was in the kitchen. "Ready to ski today?" Gwen, unlike Ally, had skied before, but she was taking the lesson from an instructor today because she hadn't skied in a while.
"Ready, you?"
"I'm a bit nervous, I know I'm going to make a fool of myself," Ally gave a short laugh.
"Yeah probably," Gwen chuckled. Just then the seat next to Gwen was taken by Ron and the seat next to Ally was taken by Calvin - who seemed to follow Ron around everywhere. They set down their bowls and started to dig in. Ally and Gwen exchanged glances that were have amused and half wondering at this development, but neither had an answer to the guys' strange behavior.
"You guys skiing today?" Ron asked suddenly.
"Yea, you?" Gwen answered.
"Yep. You guys taking the lesson?"
"Yeah, I haven't skied in a while and thought I should re-learn," Gwen answered.
"I've never skied before," Ally interjected into what seemed like a conversation between Ron and Gwen only.
"Me either," Ron said. "I'm taking the lesson too," he dug back into his breakfast, and within what seemed like seconds, was done. As suddenly as the two guys appeared they were gone.
"That was totally weird," Gwen said. Ally nodded her agreement.
They soon finished eating and went to go get ready for skiing. When Ally put on her ski outfit she sighed. She looked like a big, puffy marshmallow.
"What?" Gwen asked.
"I look like a big blue marshmallow. I'm a safety hazard, all the other skiers will fall and break their necks because I made them laugh so hard."
"They won't laugh at you, because you don't look like a marshmallow."
"You're just saying that," Ally said, but their youth group leader, John, called them them to get in the van if they were skiing.
When they got to the mountain after a fifteen minute drive. They got their gear and those who were taking the lesson, went to go meet their instructor. Ally and Gwen were talking when they heard a deep and beautiful voice, complete with an accent.
"Hi I'm Logan, your instructor," Ally and Gwen turned to see the perfect blonde from Wal-Mart.
"I dreamed of him," Gwen told Ally. Ally nodded knowing who she meant.
"Good dream?"
"Very good," Gwen said thinking of the dream where Ron had asked her out,and they kissed right before she woke up. "Oh if only it had happened."
"Maybe it will," Ally said. "It coming true is more likely than my dream coming true."

"Hi I'm Logan, your instructor," Ally and Gwen turned to see the perfect blonde from Wal-Mart.
The Ski Trip Part I
Ally and Gwen walked into Wal-Mart with the rest of their youth group. They were on their way to upstate New York for their ski trip there. They had stopped here for lunch, and supplies, so they wouldn't have to stop again when they got there. Ally was excited for this trip, and Gwen-her best friend- was too. This was their first trip up here, and now that the seniors had left, the youth group was much closer. After they had got their food- they stood off to the side waiting for the others to finish ordering since they were going to eat on the road. They watched as people passed by. A couple minutes later Ron, Gwen's crush, came over with his friend Calvin. They didn't talk to them, but stood a bit of away off. Suddenly Ally spotted the hottest blonde ever. He had blonde curly hair and a body like a models. She immediately grabbed Gwen's arm.
"Check that out," she said. "Check-out number 5, blonde and perfect."
"Oh my gosh, he is perfect."
"Yeah too perfect," Ally said her excitement dieing. The daydreams of him asking her out faded. Why would he -or any guy- ask her out?
"What are you guys talking about?" Ron asked suddenly. The two girls turned to him suprised.
"Uh..." Gwen started. She had no idea what to say, but got an idea looking at the clothes. "That jacket, it's perfect."
"Oh, cool," he turned back to talk to Calvin, and Ally turned to see if perfect-guy was still there, but he was long gone. The rest of the youth group had just finished ordering, so they all piled into the church van and left.
Hours later they arrived at the house they were staying at - a family in their church's second home. Ally was exhausted from the trip, and just wanted to sleep, but they had to unpack, and would probably do some stupid "share your deepest secrets"- "bonding" time. Ally and Gwen both hated public speaking.
"I am so tired," Gwen said as they got out of the van and stretched.
"I know I feel like I've been sitting for like weeks," Ally said buttoning her pea coat against the cold wind. She looked around her, it looked like a winter wonderland. She looked at the ground which was covered with ice. Great, she thought. She did not to well with ice. Gwen noticed her expression and looked also, and sighed in exasperation. She too did not do well with ice. They carefully walked over to the van that carried all the stuff. They got into an assembly line and started to unpack the van. Somehow Gwen ended up next to Ron and Ally next to Jeremy - a guy who she off and on liked. A couple times when Gwen passed something to Ron their hands would touch, and despite her coat and gloves she would still get chills. Then she would blush and was thankful for the dim lighting, hoping Ron didn't notice, but she wondered if he had the same reaction. Ally didn't feel chills when she accidentally brushed hands with Jeremy, but talked to him about skiing. This was Ally's first time skiing and she was nervous about it -but didn't tell Jeremy that. Soon they had finished unpacking and dispersed to the rooms they claimed. Ally and Gwen slept in the main room with the rest of the girls. There actually was only four others girls. The boys would sleep upstairs. Then they made dinner and sat down for it. They all sat in the living room- where the girls would sleep- at a small table where they ate and talked. After a bible study they went to sleep-after talking for a while- eager for what the day would hold for them tomorrow.
"Check that out," she said. "Check-out number 5, blonde and perfect."
"Oh my gosh, he is perfect."
"Yeah too perfect," Ally said her excitement dieing. The daydreams of him asking her out faded. Why would he -or any guy- ask her out?

Museum Trip (part III)
"What's his problem?" Ally said as soon as that rude guy was out of ear shot.
"That was a let down." Gwen stated sadly, looking down at her feet.
"Just know that it was nothing you did that would make him ignore you like he did. Or me either, for that matter."
Gwen sighed. "Whatever. Let's get lunch."
They sullenly walked to the food court.
"Now that I think about it, nothing really happened between us. He just wanted to share a bench with us. That's all. We overreact too much." Gwen said.
"Yea, let's not let it ruin our day." Ally said as she nibbled on a french fry. "Besides, we should have tried to talk to him, at least, instead of ignoring him."
"Yea." Gwen sighed.
They got up from their table and went on looking through the many galleries in the huge museum. They started laughing and having fun again. The next exhibit they walked into was the most famous one with all of the Van Goghs and Monets.
"Oh, Gwen I love this one!" Ally said, pointing at a blue Van Gogh.
"Ok take a picture of this." Gwen said as she started to go over to the painting to pose in front of it. She quickly stuck one arm out to outline the bottom of the painting and the other arm on the side. The frame of this particular painting was very intricate and large and it stuck out two inches from the wall. Gwen, who did not anticipate the jutting frame, was waiting for Ally to take the picture and realized that the painting was slowly starting to swing. Her eyes bugged out. Her arm had ever so slightly grazed the picture frame of the famous Van Gogh and she was starting to freak out. The light on Ally's camera finally flashed as Gwen spied a security guard starting to rush toward her.
Gwen could feel herself blushing and the redness creeping up her cheeks. Gwen quickly grabbed Ally's arm and escorted her to a different section of the exhibit. The security guard stood down but continued following the two girls around.
"I have to go to the bathroom." Gwen said loudly. Loud enough for some people to stare at her.
"Um, Ok." Ally said, looking surprised at Gwen's sudden outburst. They headed for the potty. The security guard did not follow.
When they were safely in the bathroom Gwen told the surprised Ally everything that had happened.
"What?!" Was all Ally could say.
"Yea." Gwen said laughing. "I can't believe you didn't notice the guard following us for the last ten minutes. I feel so stupid." She said smiling.
"It's just the last thing we could have done to get yelled at besides start climbing a sculpture." Ally sniggered.
"Ok, let's get going. What time is it, Nancy Drew?" Gwen said. Ally always had a watch.
"It's, uh, about three o'clock. We still have two hours till we have to go."
"Awesome. I think we saw practically everything in the museum expect all the stuff in the West Wing."
"Yea, we could do that. That's the medieval artifacts and 17th century French stuff," Ally said while looking a the map.
The West Wing was really cool and they both liked it.
"I kinda want to find that guy again. I want to talk to him." Gwen said. "What do you think the chances of us finding him are?"
"Hahaha. Practically zero." Ally laughed.
They set out looking for him in the West Wing.
"Ok, Gwen, which way should we go?" They had come to a four way stop and could go either left, right, or straight.
"Father, guide my sword!" Gwen said jokingly. "Uh, let's go right."
As soon as they started walking right they ran into him. Gwen and Ally looked at each other shocked. Gwen's face started turning red again for, like, the fifth time that day.
"Um, hi." the hot guy said. He had an amazing British accent.
"Hi." They both said in unison.
Oh. My. Goodness, Gwen thought.
"My name is Troy."
"My name is Ally, and this is my best friend Gwen."
"Nice to meet you. Again." Troy said, smiling, and surprisingly shook each of the girl's hands.
"Yea. You were the guy from the bench earlier, right?" Gwen said, pretending that she didn't remember him and know exactly who he was.
"Yes. That was me. Sorry for being so rude earlier." Troy said.
"Oh, that's ok," Ally said. Gwen just stared.
"The truth is that I was actually too nervous to talk to you two. Because... I thought you were so pretty. And it took we a lot of courage just to go over and sit next to you," Troy admitted nervously, but it was most appreciated by Gwen and Ally.
Troy's gaze fell upon Gwen. It seemed like five minutes went by. Then Gwen saw someone come up and grab Troy from behind. It was a huge bear hug.
"Awwww, come on Bryan." Troy groaned but had a huge smile on his face. The boys continued to wrestle a little, while Gwen and Ally observed and smiled at each other.
They finally ceased rough-housing. "Sorry about that," Troy said, "this is my friend Bryan."
"Hi," Bryan said to Gwen. He then looked at Ally's deep blue eyes and gracefully kissed her hand. Ally giggled and Bryan took her arm, and the led her out of the room.
Whoa, Gwen thought. Way to go, Ally!
Gwen was by herself with Troy in the room. There was an awkward silence as they both tried to avoid eye contact. They were both shy.
Maybe all my fantasies will finally come true if Troy turns out to be a nice guy and ask me out, Gwen thought.
Their wandering eyes finally met. Gwen sweetly sighed out loud before she knew that she really had done it out loud. He smiled a huge grin and took both of her hands in his. He slowly leaned in and kissed her.
Well, that was more than I expected. For once. She was the happiest she had ever been in her whole life.
The End

Museum Trip (part II)
Gwen easily forgot her troubles as she and Ally made there way through the magnificent paintings in the museum. They wandered around looking at paintings, sculptures, jewelry, Tiffany glass, and pottery while talking and laughing together, and of course getting yelled at plenty of times by the security guards about stupid stuff.
"Lets go look at the Greek and Roman sculptures." Gwen said.
"Sure."
"I'm getting a little tired," Gwen said while walking through the bright, high-ceiling room adorned with beautiful sculptures. "Lets sit down right here." They sat on a little stone bench near the right wall next to the giant window.
"Sorry to bring this up but look at that!" Ally half whispered, half exclaimed as she gestured toward a tall blond guy that had just entered the room.
"Wow." Gwen didn't mean to but she immediately imagined him coming up to her and talking to her. It was a simple thought but she felt that it was nearly impossible for a guy to like her.
There eyes both followed him around the room as his noble brow fell upon each sculpture. He looked like a sculpture himself. He had that perfect chiseled jaw line, lean body, and he even had smooth ivory skin. Beautiful. Ally and Gwen were talking amongst themselves about how he seemed like the perfect guy when Gwen snuck another glance at him. She did a complete double take. Was he looking at me? Was he looking at me?
Ally followed Gwen's gaze. "He is SO looking at you."
"Oh, goodness."
"What?"
"I think he's coming over here." Gwen's face started to turn red and she could feel goose bumps prickling her arms. "Ok, try to look cool," she whispered to Ally, but was really directed to herself.
For what seemed like an eternity, they watched as he headed their way. Slowly, step after step. Tick tock. They tried not to look up.
"Ummm, excuse me? Is anyone sitting here?" He asked.
"What?" Gwen was a little disoriented. Her minds expectation had fallen short again, but she knew no one would be able to meet those standards anyway. Whatever, she thought, I'm making a fool of myself already.
"Yea, sure," Ally luckily swooped in and saved the day, and Gwen yet again from an embarrassing situation. "No one's sitting here."
"Thanks."
He glided onto the end of the bench next to Gwen. All conversation had ceased and they sat in an awkward silence. He seemed to not notice, while Gwen and Ally were giving each other nervous glances. The dream guy was staring into space.
"Ugh, this sucks," Gwen whispered to Ally.
All of a sudden, dream guy made an agitated noise, looked at the girls, got up and left.
"Lets go look at the Greek and Roman sculptures." Gwen said.
"Sure."
"I'm getting a little tired," Gwen said while walking through the bright, high-ceiling room adorned with beautiful sculptures. "Lets sit down right here." They sat on a little stone bench near the right wall next to the giant window.

Happily Ever After..
That was sooo cute lol! Ok Gwen, you start the next story, you can make it about whatever.
The Story part VII
Gwen and Ally did not feel like getting up the next day. They were still in shock after what happened last night. They kept the shades drawn, laid in bed all day, watched sappy love movies, and continued to wallow by eating a ton of junk food.
It was then 4 o'clock in the afternoon and the girls were still in their pajamas.
"I think we should just forget them and not let it ruin out trip," Gwen said quietly. There was a long pause. "I think we should get dressed and do something fun." The girls both gave a weak smile and nodded their heads.
An hour later, after they both took showers, got dressed, and tried to look their best, they headed downstairs in hopes that they would be able to forget the events of last night. As they walked out of the hotel and onto the sidewalk, they saw two unwanted men coming towards them.
"Ally, Gwen, it was not what it looked like last night," Blake said, looking extremely good in a dark blue collar shirt and dark jeans.
"Just give us a chance to explain!" Aiden exclaimed, looking equally hot in a green Chiodos shirt and jeans. Gwen and Ally had had enough of these guys and started to walk away. Before they could take two steps, Aiden had grabbed Gwen's arm and Blake had Ally's.
"Get off of me!" Gwen shouted at Aiden.
"Just listen to me... Those girls at the party last night..." Aiden started, looking lovingly at Gwen," They were our old girlfriends."
"Yea, the reason we didn't want you at the party last night was because we were going to break up with them there," Blake stated. "After I met you, Ally, well, i knew that you were the one for me."
When Ally and Blake looked over at Gwen and Aiden, they were already lip locked.
"So, how long were you out hear waiting for us?" Ally questioned playfully.
"It wouldn't of mattered if I were waiting here for all eternity for you, as long as I got to see you," he said as he bent down and kissed her.
They HAD found their Prince Charmings after all.

Story Part VII
"Hey girls," Blake said. "What are you doing here?" Gwen and Ally weren't sure how to answer, should they confront the guys? Just as the girls had said they weren't owned by the guys, they didn't own the guys, so they played it cool.
"We went to the party," Gwen answered. "What are you guys doing here?" Before the guys could answer, the two picture perfect girls came up.
"Blake why'd you leave so fast?" One girl, a blonde wearing a blue halter top asked.
"Yeah, you too Aiden," said the other girl, another blonde wearing a red cami.
"Uh.. Ally, this is Jennifer," Blake said indicated the blonde wearing the halter top. "Gwen, this is Angelica. Angelica, Jennifer, this is Ally and Gwen."
"We were showing them around, they're new here."
"Oh how nice," Jennifer said, though by her expression she thought it anything but nice.
"Nice shirt," Angelica said indicating Ally's babydoll shirt, looking like she wanted to burst out laughing. Ally who was already feeling depressed, felt like she was about to cry. She looked at Blake, who's expression was unreadable, and whirled around and left. Gwen soon followed.
"What jerks," Gwen said. "Those two girls were awful." Ally and Gwen were almost to their rented car when they heard their names being called. They turned to see Aiden and Blake.
"Hey girls, we still on for tomorrow?" Neither girl could believe the nerve of these guys.
"No," Gwen said sorrowfully. " That's ok, thanks for the tour, but we'll continue it on our own." The two girls got in the car and drove off, leaving Aiden and Blake standing there alone.
"We went to the party," Gwen answered. "What are you guys doing here?" Before the guys could answer, the two picture perfect girls came up.
"Blake why'd you leave so fast?" One girl, a blonde wearing a blue halter top asked.
"Yeah, you too Aiden," said the other girl, another blonde wearing a red cami.
"Uh.. Ally, this is Jennifer," Blake said indicated the blonde wearing the halter top. "Gwen, this is Angelica. Angelica, Jennifer, this is Ally and Gwen."
"We were showing them around, they're new here."
"Oh how nice," Jennifer said, though by her expression she thought it anything but nice.
"Nice shirt," Angelica said indicating Ally's babydoll shirt, looking like she wanted to burst out laughing. Ally who was already feeling depressed, felt like she was about to cry. She looked at Blake, who's expression was unreadable, and whirled around and left. Gwen soon followed.

The Story part VI
Ally and Gwen were having such a good time at the party and together they started to make their way to the dance floor. They usually NEVER danced at parties but tonight they felt free. They danced together and then Fred came over and started to dance with them, too. While Gwen is dancing she turns around and is face to face with Aiden! And Blake is there, too! They are both talking with really pretty girls.
Gwen turns white and starts to bolt for the door. Ally quickly catches up to her.
"Gwen, whats going on?" Ally shouts over the music.
"I just saw Aiden and Blake!" Gwen shouts back.
"Oh my gosh! Where?!"
"Look over there," Gwen points to where their Prince Charmings are talking to two beautiful girls. Ally sees them, grabs Gwen's hand and they go to get some air.
Broken-hearted Gwen and Ally sit down at the fountain in the moonlight garden.
"I cannot believe that they would do that to us," Ally stated in a wobbly voice.
"Yea, now we know why they told us not to come to the party. Those liars!" Gwen was enraged.
"I just guess it was too good to be true. Those girls were definately their girlfriends. We can't compete with them. They looked like models for goodness sake!"
"We should just forget about them now." Ally and Gwen hugged. "Let's get out of here."
They started to get up when they saw two figures coming towards them. It was Blake and Aiden.

Story Part V
Ally took in the scenery from the front seat as Blake drove. She had asked him where they were going, but he told her it was a surprise. Ally thought about what Blake and Aiden had said about Fred. Ally, who had never really been invited to many parties -let alone parties given by boys- was thinking of still going to Fred's party, despite the boys' warnings. She glanced back at Gwen, who she could tell was thinking the same thing. The Jeep stopped suddenly. They were by a river, shaded by trees and decorated with flowers. It was very pretty. Blake and Aiden got out of the Jeep went around to the trunk, and got out a picnic basket and a blanket.
"A picnic?" Ally asked even though she knew what it was.
"Yep surprise," Aiden said.
"Wow guys, this is really cool," Gwen said smiling.
"Yep now let's eat," Blake said.
---------------------------------------
Ally and Gwen got ready to go to Fred's party.
"Do you feel bad going against what the guys said, after the picnic they gave us?" Ally asked.
"Nope," Gwen replied. "They don't own us, we barely know them."
"You're right, but i have a feeling like they'll find out, and not want to talk to us ever again."
"How are they going to find out?" Gwen asked. "Don't worry, we'll talk to them tomorrow, they said they're going to take us to The Eye. "
"You're right, let's go Party!" The two girls left their hotel room, got into their rented car and drove to Oxford. They arrived just as the party was really getting going. They knocked on the dorm door, which was answered by Fred.
"Hey you two made it!" He smiled widely. "I'm afraid I didn't catch your names though,"
"I'm Gwen, and this is Ally."
"Nice to meet you two, now come on in," they entered to find guys and girls drinking, laughing, and dancing. "There's drinks and food over there, I regret that I have to leave you lovely ladies, and tend to my duties as a host, have fun," he left and Ally and Gwen stood there kinda awkwardly until a couple nearby people started talking to them, and soon they were having a great time.

Story Part IV
Gwen and Ally were walking on air that night. All they could talk about was how amazing Blake and Aiden were.
"This is our dream come true," Ally exclaimed as she and Gwen got into bed.
"Yea, I know! That's exactly what I was thinking. Now we can start our dream careers, and then settle in the English countryside with out Prince Charming," Gwen said enthusiastically.
"Goodness, I never thought it would happen! I wonder where they will take us tomorrow." Then a burst of girlish laughter was heard as they turned off the light and dreampt of their new friends.

------------------------------------
The next day Gwen and Ally got up extra early to look their best for Aiden and Blake. They ran down to the lobby and saw that the two British gents were already waiting outside in the Jeep. The girls tried to contain themselves as they calmly walked toward the guys.
"Hey Ally, Gwen," Blake said, not taking his eyes off Ally.
"Hey, Blake," Ally answered back as he opened the door for Ally.
Gwen walked right up to Aiden and stood right in front of him. They looked deep into each others eyes and then he helped Gwen into the back seat. He got into the drivers seat.
In the back seat Gwen and Ally gave each other the "Oh-My-Gosh!" look and they both could not stop smiling.
"So boys, where are we going today?" Gwen asked.
"Oh, well, you know, Buckingham Palace, Big Ben, Kensington Palace, Oxford, and just the usual," Aiden answered.
"Ok. That sounds cool," both girls agreed.
Gwen and Ally both had the best day of their whole, entire lives. It wasn't just what they saw, but it was who they were with. Blake and Aiden were both intelligent and incredible tour guides through Buckingham Palace, Big Ben, and Kensington Palace.When they got to Oxford though, that's when they hit a little trouble.
"Wow! This is amazing," Ally said.
"Yea. I knew Oxford was big, but I didn't know it was THIS BIG. And what beautiful architecture, too," Gwen said.
"Aren't you guys tired yet?" Blake asked, sitting down on the edge of the fountain.
"Yea, I'm beat," Aiden said.
"Come on you guys! we are no where near finished. There is so much more to see," Gwen said.
"Well, you guys can keep going, but I'm going to take a quick rest here," Blake said.
"Yea," Aiden agreed. "We'll wait here for you when your done."
So Gwen and Ally continued to walk around the outside garden on the campus of Oxford. They were too busy looking around to notice a group of guys coming up behind them.
"Hey!" The leader of the pack said.
Gwen and Ally looked in surprise at the group of guys. They looked like jocks. The leader was an attractive guy and it was surprising for both girls that he would be talking to them. "Hi," they both said quietly.
"So, my mates and I were wondering if you wanted to come to this party tonight. It's supposed to be wicked. So, what do you say?"
Ally gave Gwen a relaxed look and they both agreed to go.
"My name is Fred, by the way. The party is in my dorm. Its number 117 in the left wing. See you tonight." Then the group made there way toward the gym and left two very excited girls grinning at each other.
"I'm beginning to really like it here," Gwen said.
"Me, too," Ally said. They were both laughing when Blake and Aiden came over to them.
"Were you guys just talking to Fred Longchamp?" Blake said, staring down the two girls.
"I guess we were. He said is name was Fred," Ally replied, a little confused.
"He is trouble. you should not be hanging out with him and his idiot friends. What did he say to you?" Aiden asked.
"He invited us to a party he's having tonight," Gwen said.
"Well you can't go!" Aiden exclaimed desperately.
"Umm, why?" Ally asked.
"Because we didn't finish our tour, of course," Blake said.
Blake and Aiden then escorted Ally and Gwen back to the Jeep. "So, then where are we going?" Gwen whispered to Aiden, who was sitting next to her in the back seat.
"It's a surprise," he whispered back in a seductive voice. "You'll just have to wait and see."
"Hey Ally, Gwen," Blake said, not taking his eyes off Ally.
"Hey, Blake," Ally answered back as he opened the door for Ally.
Gwen walked right up to Aiden and stood right in front of him. They looked deep into each others eyes and then he helped Gwen into the back seat. He got into the drivers seat.

Story Part III
"Well I guess this is it," Ally said regretfully. Blake was one of the few guys she actually thought was nice and cool, and like her, though not as shy.
"Yeah, thanks for the ride guys," Gwen said, also regretfully. Aiden was so cool, and they had similar interests.
"No problem," Blake said.
"Yeah, it was our pleasure," Aiden said smiling at Gwen.
"This is your first time in England right?" Blake asked. When Ally nodded he continued. "How would you two like a couple of guides. We'll show you the sights, how 'bout it?" Ally and Gwen hesitated, they had learned all their life to not except rides from strangers no matter what, yet they did. Could they trust these guys? Ally and Gwen looked at each other, the question silently passing between them. Then, at the same time, they slowly nodded. The two guys smiled.
"Ok cool, we'll pick you guys up tomorrow at ten, is that alright?" Aiden asked.
"Yeah, that's cool," Gwen said casually. Ally and Gwen got out of the Jeep. Aiden and Blake got out also, they helped them with their bags.
"Thanks," Ally said, smiling shyly. Blake stuck out his hand to her.
"It was great to meet you Ally, " he said.
"You too," Ally replied shaking his hand. They shook for what was probably longer than need be. Aiden and Gwen where shaking hands also, also longer than need be. Eventually they really had to let go. Ally was the first to let go.
"Well, we'll see you guys tomorrow, thanks again for the ride."
"Don't mention it," Blake said.
"Gwen?" Ally said grabbing her bags and heading to the hotel front door. Gwen let go said goodbye to Aiden and the two girls went inside, anxious to find what tomorrow would hold.

The Story part II
Before Gwen and Ally knew what to do, the two cute British guys (with awesome accents) were offering them a ride to their hotel. The girls nervously chatted with Blake and Aiden (they found out the blond guy's name), who seemed perfectly at ease and pro's at small talk.
"Awesome guitar case!" Gwen exclaimed when she saw Aiden pull it out of the trunk. The ride from the airport was long and the talk between Gwen and Aiden had kinda died down.
"Thanks. I've been collecting these band stickers for a long time. Living in England is wicked because every good band tours here during the summers." He opened the case to reveal a beat up acoustic. He dropped the case back into the trunk and sat with Gwen in the back seat of Blake's Jeep. Aiden began to play, and he was really good.
While that scene in the backseat was going on, Blake and Ally had been non-stop talking about their favourite artists, paintings, and what they liked to draw. Ally, usually being quiet and a little on the awkward side, was totally the opposite around Blake. She felt like he was so easy to talk to and their conversation flowed.
Then Gwen and Ally's magical ride suddenly came to a halt. They were at the hotel.

Story
Hey Gwen, let's create the best story ever. I write a paragraph then you write one, then me, then you etc. Ok ready go.
Ally and Gwen stepped out of the plane into the jetway that would lead them to the terminal.
"We're finally here!" Ally sighed as they stepped into the terminal.
"Yes," Gwen smiled. "England, at last." The two best friends had saved all their work money for like ever to pay for the graduation trip. They had just graduated high school and had wanted forever to go to England. They walked over to the baggage claim. Where they waited for their luggage. Suddenly Gwen jabbed Ally in the side.
"Ally check out those guys," she whispered. Ally followed Gwen's gaze to see two cute guys, one had short blonde hair the other had longer brown hair. The blonde wore a tee, jeans, and a baseball cap. The brunette wore an oxford shirt, jeans, and a grey knit hat.
"They're cute," Ally said.
"Yeah," Gwen agreed. The blonde just then grabbed a guitar case covered with band stickers off the belt. "Ohmigosh he's a musician, that's so hot." Ally laughed, then the brunette grabbed an art portfolio off the belt.
"Oh he's an artist, that hot."
"Let's go talk to them," Gwen suggested.
"Yeah right," Ally scoffed. "You go ahead, you know I can't do that."
"Yeah, well me neither, so I guess we're not talking to them." The two girls were too busy looking at the guys that they didn't realize their luggage was passing them.
"Uh, isn't that our luggage?" Ally asked when it had neared the two guys.
"Oh yeah oops. We'll have to catch it the next time around," Gwen sighed. They waited after a couple minutes it came back around again, yet they missed it again. This time they ran after it. Gwen was struggling to get her luggage off the conveyor belt when the blonde came over and helped her get it off.
"Need help?" he asked lifting her bag off the belt and setting it down next to her.
"Thanks," Gwen said looking at him and smiling. Ally struggled with her luggage also, but no one seemed to notice her. The brunette had apparently disappeared. Ally finally got it off when she realized her bag that had her sketchbook, canvases, and paintbrushes and paint was missing. She was about to go looking for it when the brunette came up, carrying it.
"I think this is yours," the brunette said.
"It is thank you, I can't imagine what I would have done without it, it had has my artwork in it."
"Oh? You're an artist too?"
"Yes,"
"There's plenty of scenery to paint or draw here in England. I should know, I'm from around here. What about you, where you from?"
"America,"
"Well then..."
"Ally"
"I'm Blake, and welcome to England."
Ok Gwen your turn to spin the tale...

Awsome Dream!
That was a really cool dream. I wish I could be a vampire!!!!! Only because it would make me pretty and practically indestructible and forever young. Well the forever young thing would get old fast (lol haha bad pun). And the whole wanting to eat ppl would be annoying and evil and disgusting.
Vampires are Awesome
So this is the DREAM I had due to reading too many vampire books (and other things that have happened lately):
I was in Paris at night flying around on what looked like a jet ski. It was awesome cause it could go really fast and way you wanted in the air and what was weird was it was BMW brand lol. Anyway, so i parked right next to Notre Dame and went to go check out this old, dark, abandoned apartment building (sounds good, n'est-ce pas?) that was around the corner because I heard that's where some vampires lived. I started walking toward the huge building and there definitely sounded like there were people, or things, in there. It was really dark but the stars were out so i could see a little, and what caught my eye was a woman standing in a red dress towards the back of the building. She was very beautiful, with her pale skin and dark hair. She was also standing under a dead, black, crooked tree with her back to me. I immediately started walking towards her because I just knew she was a vampire and i wanted to become one, too, so I thought she'd bite me.
She could sense that i was approaching (because vampires are cool like that) and slowly turned around to greet me. she glided over to me and stood very close to my face. We started to talk about her biting me and where the best place would be. She had a very low, sultry voice that hypnotized you. I told her that I wanted to be bitted on my neck because the scar would look awesome but she said that it hurts a lot more and that i should get bitten on my upper arm, that's where she got bitten, and said it wasn't that bad.
Then all of a sudden she pushed back my hair so that my neck was exposed and lunged for me. I was so scared and I just started running. I got on my jet ski and flew away.
This part of my dream was a little random and weird because I stop at Sea World or some place like that. It is really sunny outside and I go to see the dolphin show. I turn into Sandy (Elijah Wood), from the movie Flipper, and start talking to the dolphin, who understands me.
Then I take my jet ski back to school except school now looks like Hogwarts (as in many of my other dreams). At lunch I go sit with Jess, as usual, and tell her about my encounter with the vampaire. She then confesses to me that she and all of her other friends are a secret coven of vampires. i finally realize that is why jess and all her friends dress in medieval dresses lol. Jess tells me that I should go back and get bitten so that I can be in the coven, too.
I have always wanted to be a vampire but then I start having second thoughts. "Will I still be able to be a Christian if I'm a vampire? Will God still accept me? Can I still go to Heaven?"

Hey, guess what! The Blog got a face-lift. Bet you didn't notice, lol. So Gwendolyn, how does it look? Or is your full first name Guinevere or Gweneth. Mine's Allison.
The Museum Trip (part I)
It was a hot and muggy day in June as Gwen and Ally wove their way through the crowded streets of New York City.
"Why is it so crowded?" Gwen asked, staring at the loud swarms of people lining the streets.
"I think it's Puerto Rico Day. That's why everyone is waving the Puerto-Rican flag. Duh," Ally said back.
Thats when Gwen looked around and realized that everyone, young and old, were wearing red, blue, and white. She had been engrossed in her thoughts and daydreams again, as usual. She was always the one who daydreamed about things that could happen but never did. The simple boy-meets-girl scenario seemed so easy and common that she was sure it would happen. Even just once a guy would come up to her- a nice, gentlemanly guy- and they would exchange phone numbers. This scene was constantly playing over and over in her mind, thinking about it happening with any of the guys around her. But it never happened, it was forever contained in the realm of her mind and never met the real world.
"Are you ok?" Ally asked in a concerned tone.
"Yea, just thinking. It's nothing. Why? Do i look mad or something?"
"No. Well, maybe a little on the gloomy side. That's all. Don't worry," Ally consoled her, "today's gonna be great!"
As she said this, the two girls finally spotted the Metropolitan Museum on the left side of the street. They made their way up the steps and went inside.
