Chapter 4 of Fangirls, book three!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D:D:D

Chapter 4, Yup, things are about to get weird (again)

“Wait! The tree!” Lexi exclaimed. Thaddeus and Lexi ran back to the backyard, Lexi calling out for her parents but they were already running outside.

“What was all that commotion? Lexi, Thaddeus are you okay?” Mom asked in concern. But Lexi and Thaddeus were staring at the tree in bewilderment. The tree was just like it had been a few moments before.

“The tree! It was just on fire!” Lexi exclaimed. Lexi’s parents looked at them in disbelief.

“It was?” Dad asked. Thaddeus nodded.

“It must have been some kind of magic! Lexi didn’t even see it happen,” Thaddeus explained. Then he dove right into the story of what happened. Lexi’s parents nodded.

“Do you guys know who did it?” Lexi’s mom asked. Thaddeus and Lexi shook their heads.

“No! I don’t really know who would want to do that,” Lexi explained. But she caught herself and turned to Thaddeus. “You don’t think Mad Maddy escaped her island, do you?” Lexi asked Thaddeus. Thaddeus shook her head.

“No, she couldn’t have,” Thaddeus said slowly as he took Lexi’s hand. “And, I think she would have gone after Mal and Ben if she escaped,” Thaddeus explained. Then, him and Lexi exchanged dark looks.

“You know, I just going to check that,” Thaddeus said and grabbed his phone from his pocket. He dialed Ben’s phone number and he didn’t answer.

“Oh, no” Lexi muttered. “They’re all lying dead in a ditch,” Lexi whispered to herself. Thaddeus tried not to laugh as he slung an arm around her shoulders.

“Lexi, they are not lying dead in a ditch,” Thaddeus told her. Just then, Thaddeus’s phone started ringing. It was Ben. “See?” Thaddeus said, showing Lexi the phone. Lexi nodded. “Hey,” Thaddeus greeted.

“Hey, you called me earlier. Sorry I didn’t answer that. I was laying the twins down for their nap. What’s up?” Ben asked. Thaddeus chewed on his lip a little bit.

“Well, you haven’t had any attacks in Auradon lately, have you?” Thaddeus asked. Ben sounded concerned and confused.

“No. Why? Have you had any attacks?” Ben asked. Thaddeus nodded even though Ben couldn’t see him.

“Yes. The tree in Lexi’s back yard was set on fire while she was sitting under it,” Thaddeus explained.

“That doesn’t sound good,” Ben said concernedly. Thaddeus shook his head again.

“It wasn’t. I’m still kind of shaky. Lexi was back there by herself because I heard a noise in the front yard so I went out to see what it was and the next thing I know, I hear her screaming and I thought I heard something burning and I was terrified,” Thaddeus explained.

“Oh, yeah. That is always terrifying,” Ben said sympathetically. “Don’t I know it?” At that moment, Thaddeus and Lexi felt so sorry for Ben. He had been through the ringer. He became king at only sixteen, his girlfriend had come back to the Isle of the Lost and he felt like it was his fault, so he came there and apologized and begged her to come back and he got his heart broken and he captured on the same trip. He got turned into a beast and turned to stone on the same day for Pete’s sakes! And he knows what it’s like to have his wife die already! This guy can’t seem to catch a break! After Thaddeus told Ben about the situation, Ben told Mal and they would be stepping up security big time, just in case.

A few weeks after the tree incident, things were beginning to get peaceful again. The guards saw nothing threatening on the horizon. No Mad Maddy. No other bad guys. Everybody started letting there guard down just a little, but that’s just what they were expecting.

A few weeks after the guards started well, keeping guard, Ben and Mal went on a date, leaving Braydon, Michelle, and Mallory with Beast and Belle. Mal and Ben were just about to order their dinner, when Ben’s phone started ringing. “Oh, I’m sorry. Excuse me.” he said politely as he answered. It was his mom. “Hello?” Ben said into the phone. Belle was crying.

“I set Mallory down in her crib for bed and later I heard her crying so I came to get her and she was gone!” Ben’s eyes widened in fear.

“What?! Okay, we’ll be home in a minute!” Ben said and hung up the phone. He turned to Mal who was staring at him in concern. “We have to go now! Mallory was kidnapped!” he exclaimed quietly so no one else would hear him because he didn’t want to cause a ruckus. Mal gasped and immediately stood and started hurrying out the door. Ben chased after her. He should have expected this once Thaddeus called him about the tree being set on fire. Time for some more trouble, whether he liked it or not.

Early chapter again because I'm going to Universal Studios this week!! Chapter 14 of the Fangirls, book two!!!!!!!!!!:D:D

  Chapter 14 When Lexi and Thaddeus arrived to Homecoming, they were the last of their friend group to get there. When they walked in, the fangirls squealed about how pretty they all looked. Then Lexi saw something that deeply amused her. “Guys, Adam ended up going with Karen!” she giggled. Everyone in their group began to laugh to see Karen on Adam’s arm, who was looking both disgruntled and irritated about it. The song that was playing when Thaddeus and Lexi got there ended, and a swing dance song started up. All of the kids gave a great cheer and started dancing to it. Thaddeus turned to Lexi, holding out his hand to her and smiling. “May I have this dance, Fangirl?” Lexi grinned and took his hand. “Please,” she said, sounding rather pleased herself. And flirty. Unlike when she had flirted with the King of Auradon all those years ago, this was on purpose. Thaddeus took Lexi out to the middle of the dance floor and led her in a swing dance. Lexi had completely forgotten how...

A Cute Little Moment: Chapter XII: The Little Moments Storyline:):):):):)

  The “Little Moments” Storyline 😊 (Eight months after Lexi and Thaddeus were married😊) I woke up with a smile on my face that morning of October 21 st . Not just because it was my birthday, but it was my first birthday as a married man. Even though Lexi was six months pregnant with our daughter, she still woke up before I did for work just to make pancakes dressed in whipped cream and raspberries. I could smell it when I woke up and the next thing I knew, she was walking into our room with a plate in her hands. “Lexi, you didn’t have to do this,” I had told her, pushing my glasses onto my face as Lexi had placed the plate in my hands. I knew she had to be exhausted. “What are you talking about?” she’d replied, one hand supporting her belly as she’d used her other hand to make a gesture like she was actually brushing my comment aside. “Happy birthday, honey!” she had smiled, carefully bending her knees so she could kiss me on the cheek. I’d blushed and I had wondered if I w...

A Cute Little Moment: Chapter VIII: The Love is an Open Door scene :):):):):):)

  The “Love is an Open Door” scene ☹😊 I jump at the sound of the doorbell. I’ve been sitting on pins and needles for thirty minutes after I got ready, waiting for Adam to come and pick me up for the homecoming dance. I was wearing a deep sapphire blue dress, one of the school colors. Adam would be wearing a red tie, our other school color. All of the rest of my friends are just going solo, even Thaddeus, which confused me. I thought that there might have been someone in the school who he liked because he’s kind of been acting all weird lately and I asked him on Monday if he had a date to the dance, to which he replied, “No. I don’t have anyone here that I really want to take.” So, that was that. Maybe he was just too nervous to ask her. I was still lost in thought for fifteen more seconds until the sound of the doorbell snapped me out of my reverie. “Oh! He’s here,” I say, feeling flustered as I dash to the front door to answer it. “Hello!” I greet Adam as I beam at him. He ...
